According to the memories of people in the Shunqing Palace at that time, although the masters were silenced by Cixi's people after the treasure was buried, it was actually impossible.
Those people are the top experts in the world, how could they not be prepared?
Members of several of the sects had already built escape routes, and when it was about to end, some of the experts had already fled into the deep mountains and forests.
Later, it was they who spread the news about the treasures in the world.
Moreover, these people also drew several simple and incomplete treasure maps based on their own memories and passed them on to their descendants. The one I have in my hand should be one of them.
Finally, Aunt Lan told me that I already knew everything about the Qing treasures, and I also had the real treasure map in my hands.
It can be said that I am the most likely person in the world to find treasure.
But Aunt Lan has the same attitude as my elders, don't be greedy in this matter.
Aunt Lan is a wise woman with a long-term vision. In her words: Everyone's life has a certain destiny.
There are thousands of treasures in the world, but only the virtuous can take them, and only the virtuous can use them. Excessive pursuit of things that do not belong to you will not bring good results even if you get it.
Taking the treasures of the Qing Dynasty as an example, from the Qing Dynasty until now, I don’t know how many lives have been harmed.
Therefore, Aunt Lan repeatedly told me not to be blinded by wealth and ambition, and not to act without authorization at any time. Only if it is a regular expedition and excavation team organized by the state, can I give it a try.
Aunt Lan's words hit my heart exactly.
I also expressed my position at that time. I would never take risks with Liu Han and Du Jun like last time, and I would just wait for Professor Lan and the others.
Aunt Lan nodded with satisfaction, and waited for Lan Jianguo to come back and gave her man some instructions.
Tell Professor Lan that if we really want to take part in the expedition team examination, we must let Du Jun and I participate in some formal training in advance to avoid accidents by then.
After this heart-to-heart talk, Aunt Lan was even more satisfied with me. In addition to my average academic performance, I was already very good among my peers in other aspects.
Coupled with the sincerity and enthusiasm I showed towards the people around me, she felt more and more connected with me.
I am also very grateful to Aunt Lan. She shared such precious things and secrets with me, and gave me so many useful things. She also treated me completely like a family member.
In this way, we, the old and the young, get closer and closer, and the intimacy is a bit like the feeling between Aunt Gu and me.
Aunt Lan's special care for me aroused the jealousy of many people. First, Old Lantou muttered that his status had declined.
Then Zhao Zhiguo also became suspicious, wondering if the old couple had some evil intentions and wanted to take advantage of their daughter.
Later, even my mother felt that her son had been taken away from her. She wanted to launch a counterattack, but she didn't have the courage.
So he quietly found Aunt Gu and prepared to join forces with her.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Gu didn't care at all, and instead advised my mother: "Sister-in-law, Xiaodao is destined to do a big career in the future. His industry is very special and he must accumulate a lot of contacts.
"I think Professor Lan and his wife are not ordinary people. It's rare that they appreciate the knife so much. This is a good thing that you can't even ask for.
Aunt Gu held my mother's sign language and said earnestly: "If you ask me, not only should we not stop it, but we should even be happy."
Aunt Gu's words awakened my mother. From then on, my mother not only did not object, but also became good friends with Aunt Lan who talked about everything.
Our family is really popular this time. I am afraid that there is no other compound with such a large population in the entire Nankai District.
It got even more lively on the day of the Spring Festival. Several large tables were set up and we had the most lively New Year’s Eve dinner ever.
The next day, there was an endless stream of people paying New Year's greetings.
Zhang Lei, Zhang Zitong, Dong Wei, Chen Yan, plus those from Lao Li's family, and even Lan Jianguo's students later heard about it and came here to pay New Year's greetings.
Since I often chat with Aunt Lan, and sometimes Lan Yue is also present, I have been bumped into by Lan Jianguo's students many times, making some students think that we are a family.
Later, a ridiculous rumor actually spread, saying that I was Lan Yue's fiancé, and that Professor Lan and his wife were living at my uncle's house.
Because of this, both Zhao Zhiguo and Lan Jianguo lost their tempers. When the two old guys met, they were rude to each other. They were scolded by their wives before they became honest.
However, because this did have some bad effects, Aunt Lan thought about it, and after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, she forced Lan Yue and them to return to her home.
Before leaving, my mother was still reluctant to leave and brought them a lot of souvenirs brought back from her hometown.
As a result, this had a chain reaction. Both my parents and Uncle and Aunt Du felt that there was no novelty in Yanjing and living there was not so comfortable.
They were used to living in a city like Fengtian, but they felt they couldn't adapt to anything in Yanjing, especially since our family had two servants.
Zhao Zhiguo couldn't stay any longer, and kept talking about going back to the countryside every day. After drinking some wine, the old man shook his head and said: "The countryside is so nice. Everyone in the village knows everyone well, the water to drink is cool, and it's convenient to stay there. It's not like Here? You have to put on clothes to sleep in the middle of the night..."
Zhao Zhiguo felt as if grass had grown in his heart. He went to my dad and Uncle Du to encourage me. I don’t know how they discussed it, but they all agreed to say goodbye to me the next day.
Du Jun and I were shocked. Why were we leaving just after the New Year?
After trying hard to keep them for two more days, in the end I couldn't keep them anymore, so I had to prepare things for them and send them to the station.
Before leaving, Zhao Zhiguo specifically told us: "Now you are still young people going to the countryside. According to the regulations, you must return to Dajin Village immediately after the New Year. We will wait until you finish college entrance examination next year."
"No matter how good Yanjing is, it is not your home for the time being."
What Zhao Zhiguo said is indeed the truth. After sending away the elders at home, Liu Qingshan and I discussed it and decided to return to Dajin Village after the first lunar month.
The Yanjing side is temporarily left to Liu Qingshan and his wife to take care of it. Now a store outside has been found. It is not rented, but bought at Du Jun's insistence.
In order to fulfill his wish, we spent almost all our savings.
I bought two shops on the best commercial street in Yanjing, planning to turn one into a Chinese medicine shop and the other into an antique shop.
But now I don’t have time to take care of it, so I rented it to someone else first.
Liu Qingshan and his wife had already prepared for the next step of work. Li Juan worked normally at the Public Security Bureau, while Liu Qingshan went to Chen Yan's shop to study.
In the next few days, we seized the time to deal with the matters at hand. We first went to Zhang Lei's house and had another drink with their old man.
Then I went to Lan Jianguo to make arrangements for the expedition team to enter the mountain next year...
The first lunar month was over soon. Du Jun and I had dealt with all the messy things, so we made arrangements with Liu Qingshan and the others, met Lan Yue, took Xiaolian and Wang Man and boarded the train back to Dajin Village.
