Chapter 197 - 0197: The Eve of the Wedding 1_1
Feng Qingxue was unable to decline and reluctantly accepted it, feeling its substantial heft.
She did not dare to open it on the spot and only discovered on her way home that old lady Xu had given her a small box of gold!
The small and exquisite gold ingots, each about the size of a thumb, were arranged in neat rows, one layer above the other. There were eight pieces per row and three rows each of two layers, all neatly arranged.
Feng Qingxue did once hear old lady Xu mention that she and old man Xu had hidden some gold in the old house, which they couldn’t fetch without the right opportunity. The fact that they had given her a box of gold today, did it imply that the elderly couple had finally got a chance to take out the gold?
Definitely!
There was no other explanation.
She also remembered old lady Xu laughing and cursing at her old friends, who were all sly foxes. They would exchange their unsellable jewelry for grain, while tightly holding onto their gold, hoping to leave themselves with a backup plan.
Besides this box of gold in the cloth bag, there was also a pair of boxwood combs and a small round mirror with a definite Old Republic style.
The portrait on the back of the round mirror seemed to be of a female movie star from the Old Republic era. Dressed in a body-hugging qipao, her figure was delicate, her hair curled and lips red. Her eyebrows were elongated; Feng Qingxue felt she looked familiar but couldn’t remember her name for the moment.
Since the gold couldn’t appear in public, Feng Qingxue put it in her spatial storage, along with the small mirror.
At the same time, she took out the items she’d organized in her spatial storage one by one.
