Chapter 515 Everyone wants good things
Lu Jiaxin waited for half a month because she had to wait for the things from the ancient capital to be delivered to Hong Kong City. But after seeing these things, she felt that the wait was worth it.
Nie Zhan saw the six things given by Lu Hongjun but became worried and said, "Jiaxin, your dad is a public official and his ancestors have no background. How can you buy so many good things with so much money?"
He very suspected that these things were acquired by his future father-in-law through corruption or bribery, or were bought with money from corruption and bribery. If this is the case, it will affect Jiaxin's reputation once it is exposed.
Lu Jiaxin shook his head and said: "I asked him several times, and he insisted that he bought it with his own salary and that he never did anything illegal."
"Do you believe it?"
Lu Jiaxin knew what he meant. She shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is that he insisted that it was legal income."
"He is already sixty years old and has retired. No one should mess with him anymore. There were a lot of messes and confusions in those years, and no one should dig up these old things."
Nie Zhan said: "I'm afraid that the problem will be found out and you will be implicated."
Lu Jiaxin smiled: "How can it implicate me? Not to mention how old I was at that time, he didn't give me the capital to do business in Hong Kong City. If something happens, I will just return the things."
Nie Zhan knew her very well and asked, "Are you willing to give it up?"
Lu Jiaxin must be reluctant to part with it. The jadeite cabbage and the Guanyin Guanyin are so lifelike that she would not be willing to return them: "I will give them a discount at ten times the price. If it still doesn't work, I will promise them that I will wait for you." These things will be donated to the museum in a hundred years.”
Considering that she has donated so much money to the mainland, this promise should make her wish come true. In recent years, in order to exchange more foreign exchange, I took out a lot of good things.
The next day, Lu Jiaxin received a call from Su Heyuan: "Jiaxin, I heard from Heming that you brought back a lot of good things this time, including a statue of Guanyin that was carved from mutton-fat jade. The Guanyin that sent children was so lifelike that it was like no other in the world. rare."
Lu Jiaxin didn't blame Su Heming for his loud mouth. First, she didn't tell Su Heming not to tell others at the time; second, she told Su Heyuan, and they were blood relatives.
“What, you want it?”
Su Heyuan said: "No. The old lady of the Hu family particularly hopes that the family will have more children and grandchildren. For this reason, she still enshrines a Guanyin at home. Jia Xin, your Guanyin is a big treasure, so you have to keep it tight. The Hu family knows that they will definitely come to you to ask for your love."
“I won't sell it for any amount of money.”
Su Heyuan said: "If Hu Zhifeng and Grandma Hu came to beg you, wouldn't you sell it?"
Lu Jiaxin said categorically: "I won't sell it. A gentleman doesn't take away what others like. If Sister Shimeng really treats me as a friend, she won't force me to do anything I don't want to do."
Su Heyuan asked: "What if Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Hu also come to beg you? With such a big age, can you refuse?"
“Why can't I refuse a lot of requests of my age? They are not my elders. Whether they are happy or not has nothing to do with me.” Lu Jiaxin said.
Just because she is friends with Zong Shimeng, it makes no sense that the elders of the Hu family must give her anything they like.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Su Heyuan said: "If this happens, they will let me come to you. Jiaxin, I am not kidding you. Mrs. Hu is stubborn. If she knew that you had such an exquisite Guanyin, she would I will definitely try my best to make you part with me.”
He was worried that the fire would burn him, and that the marriage would have another setback. "I see."
Lu Jiaxin originally planned to store these things in a bank safe when she was satisfied. But Su Heyuan's words reminded her that she couldn't just point to the bank safe. She should also find a place to store her treasure. And if you put it at home, you can see it at any time.
In the evening, Lu Jiaxin told Nie Zhan about this matter: "Azhan, I want to buy a piece of land and build a villa, which can fully meet my preferences and needs."
“Why do you suddenly want to buy land and build a building?”
Lu Jiaxin did not hide it from him, and told what Su Heyuan reminded him: "Everyone wants good things. My treasures cannot be exposed in front of others, otherwise someone will definitely have ideas."
Nie Zhan thought about what Nie Jingwen said before and asked him to ask Jiaxin if the jewelry was for sale. When he first looked at those jewels, they were all extraordinary, but they were still far behind compared to jade, jade, cabbage and Guanyin. If these things were exposed in front of people, many people would indeed want them.
After thinking for a moment, Nie Zhan asked: "Where do you want to build the house?"
There are large villas in Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay, but now only Victoria Peak is left. Lu Jiaxin asked: "What do you think we should buy a piece of land on Baijia Road and build a big villa?"
Nie Zhan said with a smile: "Of course. You are now the richest woman in Hong Kong City, and you are fully qualified to buy a piece of land and build a house on the top of the mountain. However, it will take at least three years from the time you apply to buy the land to the time the villa is built and moved in."
It takes a while to apply to buy land, and then find the world's top designers to design it. Because we have to take into account various requirements such as aesthetics, safety, and underground chambers, it will take a long time to just design this.
Lu Jiaxin felt that three years was not a problem. She was quite happy living here anyway: "Azhan, this is all your fault."
Nie Zhan touched her hair and said with a smile: "Fool, why is it hard to build a house for yourself? Or are you saying that you won't let me live in it in the future?"
Lu Jiaxin really didn't think so much, she just said this out of habit. She smiled and asked, "I won't let you live here, so why don't you live here too?"
Nie Zhan felt that he had asked this question in vain.
Two days later, He Bin brought back the seal of Emperor Yongzheng.
Lu Jiaxin opened the box and looked at it immediately. This seal has a warm texture, is white and dense, and is pure and flawless. The seal surface is engraved with jade chopsticks and seals, which are the "treasures of Yongzheng's imperial pens", and is paired with nine chilong seals hovering in the sea of clouds. It is majestic.
"nice one."
He Bin nodded and said: "The three experts who identified it said that this seal is a national treasure. One of the experts said that he hoped that I could donate it to the museum, but I refused."
This expert who suggested that he donate things will not be invited again in the future. If you have something good you want to donate, no one will stop you, but what if you ask your employer to donate?
Lu Jiaxin touched the seal and said with a smile: "This thing cannot be donated. Before Emperor Yongzheng came to power, the treasury was in great deficit. After he came to power, he rectified the finances and made the treasury rich through a series of measures. He was emperor for thirteen years. , when he left, he left more than 30 million silver to his successor. At that time, ordinary people could live very well with only ten taels of silver a year. "
He Bin understood as soon as he heard this. If the emperor could amass wealth, his seal would definitely not be donated and he would have to keep it for himself.
