The breeze in the middle of the night was cool, the moon was bright, and there were no traces of Li Zhengyi walking on the street.
He took the wealth he had obtained with his own hands and quietly returned to the house opposite.
He didn't wake up Pan Jinlian to share the joy. He just locked the windows and doors and lay down on the bed again.
His current state of mind is very different from before. After all, he is a man who has experienced some things.
He was not too excited to sleep because of these windfalls, and he also knew that these things could not be taken back to the main world, so he lay down for a while and then fell asleep.
"...Ms. sir, sir?"
"Big...brother, get up and eat..."
At dawn, Pan Jinlian woke Li Zhengyi up from bed to eat. It could be seen that she got up very early to avoid being discovered by people around her when she started cooking after dawn.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he finds out. Pan Jinlian has not committed any crime. Even if he sees it, he is just cooking at his own home. As long as Li Zhengyi disappears when someone comes to the door, it will be fine.
While eating, Pan Jinlian still couldn't resist her curiosity and asked Li Zhengyi: "Brother, these things...?"
She noticed that she had seen the silver teapot next to her somewhere, but she couldn't remember it.
"Don't worry about it, just put it away."
"Oh, and these."
As he spoke, Li Zhengyi put down the bowls and chopsticks and opened the square wooden box that was nearly one foot square.
After seeing what was inside, Pan Jinlian's little mouth opened wide, the expression on her face was extremely surprised, and her eyes were full of excitement.
"This...these gold and silver..."
Suddenly seeing so much gold and silver, she stuttered a little.
After Li Zhengyi opened the wooden box and pushed it in front of her, he didn't look at it anymore. He just lowered his head and was busy picking at the rice in his bowl.
To him, these things are really not as practical as a bowl of rice.
"Put it all away and hide it. You can use it after you get to Hangzhou. You decide what you want to use it for."
"But it can't be used to do bad things. It would be better if it can help some poor people."
After Li Zhengyi finished his instructions, he stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
But seeing him trusting so much wealth to her with such confidence made Pan Jinlian extremely moved.
In addition, Li Zhengyi had previously asked himself to keep the money from selling the house and some scattered silver coins at home.
In her mind, Li Zhengyi had already handed over all his family property to her, and such trust made her unable to control herself for a moment.
"My father-in-law's kindness will never be forgotten no matter what. In the future, I will definitely be devoted to my husband and obey his advice."
In a moment of excitement, Pan Jinlian imitated a man and clasped his fists to express his gratitude to Li Zhengyi. She found that there was something wrong with her behavior, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
But Li Zhengyi didn't care about this at all. He only focused on filling his stomach. He was also a little helpless about this woman calling him husband-in-law.
The words "give up your will and obey your words" can be said to be a joke to Li Zhengyi, who has read countless novels and palace fighting dramas.
Judging from his past life experience, most people would be grateful if they didn't stab someone in the back.
"Ah~"
"This this…"
At this moment, Pan Jinlian suddenly heard an exclamation from the person opposite.
Li Zhengyi looked up and saw her holding the opened gold scroll in both hands, her mouth slightly open and her face flushed with embarrassment.
I can't help but feel that it's really not peaceful to eat, isn't it just some gold? Just put it away, no matter what the yelling looks like.
Just as he was about to scold him, he heard Pan Jinlian ask him with some concern: "Brother, do you want me to learn this too?"
What to study? Li Zhengyi was a little confused for a moment, but he saw Pan Jinlian's eyes glancing at the open gold scroll from time to time.
Suddenly it occurred to me that I had forgotten that there was something written on it. He was also a little curious for a moment, so he took the thing out of Pan Jinlian's hand and spread it flat on the table.
After the things recorded on the golden scroll were presented to him, Li Zhengyi's eyes widened in surprise.
I saw twelve colorful pictures vividly depicted on the golden scroll.
But it makes people a little afraid to look directly, because those pictures are portraits of naked men and women, with different movements, and there are some small words explaining under each picture.
I don't have much feeling for those colorful pictures, but Li Zhengyi is a person who loves reading and practicing calligraphy very much.
While he was staring at the fonts above in fascination, he suddenly noticed that Pan Jinlian across from him was blushing with embarrassment and looking at him with bright eyes.
Li Zhengyi was startled by her terrifying gaze, and immediately put away the gold scroll on the table. He wanted to put it in his arms, but in order to prove his innocence, he handed it to Pan Jinlian.
"Put it away, put it away quickly."
When she handed the gold scroll over, she saw Pan Jinlian pick up the topaz pendant again, and the pendant was engraved with the image of a woman sitting face to face on a man's lap.
This was almost the same as the picture on the golden scroll. Even Li Zhengyi felt flushed and breathing faster when he saw that thing.
Throw it away! These crappy things must be thrown away!
I don’t know where that Mrs. Wang got these things from.
Fortunately, after careful inspection, I found that the gold cakes and silver ingots were still pure. As for these two things, they must be thrown away, otherwise they will teach bad children.
But when Li Zhengyi took the two items in his hands again, he hesitated. After all, the materials used in their manufacture were very precious.
Besides, these things are innocent. It is only the human heart that is guilty.
After much consideration, he gave these two items to Pan Jinlian and asked her to keep them well. If she was short of money in the future, even if they were just sold as materials, they should be able to get a lot of money.
"Hide these two things well. They must not be seen by others. You cannot take them out again unless you have to, unless you need them specially."
It wasn't until Pan Jinlian put the two items and other gold and silver back into the box and closed it that Li Zhengyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat, eat, eat."
Just when he was about to turn all his other unwanted thoughts into appetite, he saw Pan Jinlian asking him with a glint in her eyes: "Then... do you want to learn the things above?"
…
Li Zhengyi didn't answer. He put down his job and rushed to the backyard. Under the corner where outsiders couldn't see, he began to do strenuous exercise and exercise.
Not long after, there was a heavy breathing sound...
