If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter
Chapter 26 Dismantling the Blind Box
Qin Shu's heart was shaking. She suppressed her fear and said softly, "Tomorrow, I will tell the elders about the funeral expenses. The income from the public school alone is definitely not enough. For the money that is missing, I will first sell the fur and grocery store and Yufeng Restaurant, and then sell the rouge shop and the grain shop..."
Just as Manager Chang was about to speak, Qin Shu raised her hand to stop him, "The murderer who killed my parents was either after profit or money. These things must fall into Second Uncle's hands, so that we have a chance to escape."
Manager Chang thought about it and immediately understood, and quickly responded respectfully.
As for the income from her mother's dowry shop and her private shop, how thick-skinned would my second uncle and second aunt have to be to ask her for it?
What's more, in the eyes of the two of them, the wealth in their hands is no different from that in their hands.
I guess my second uncle doesn’t want the elders to know how rich the Dongfu family is!
After Manager Chang left, Qin Shu sat there and thought for a long time.
It was not until Nanny Liu came over and whispered to her to rest early that Qin Shu's stiff body moved slightly and said, "Nanny, I have something to ask you to do."
Madam Liu replied immediately, "Youlin lives in Tongguan Hutong. When he left yesterday, he said that he had left someone at the back corner gate of East Garden. If you have anything to do, just give the letter to that person."
Very good!
Brother is still reliable!
Qin Shu said, "Okay, I'll write a letter and ask the nanny to deliver it for me in the dark."
Nanny Liu quickly brought out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Qin Shu thought about it, quickly wrote a letter, sealed it and gave it to Nanny Liu.
Nanny Liu took the letter and carried a lantern to deliver it herself.
After sorting out what needed to be done next, Nanny Chun called Xiao Xing, and brought hot water with the maid, and helped Qin Shu wash up and then go to rest.
Not long after she rested, Nanny Liu called Qin Shu softly from outside the window.
Qin Shu knew that the letter had been sent safely.
Qin Shu didn't enter the space until the candles outside were extinguished.
The space was still the same as usual, with soft light, tranquil spring water, soft sand, two gold-painted boxes quietly placed on the sand, and the jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and whole pieces of jade that Qin Shu had collected yesterday.
There is also the "membership gift box" that Miss Julie gave her yesterday.
Qin Shu looked at the messy floor and thought about moving a few shelves from the treasure cabinet in her parents' room to place these treasures that were easily damaged.
The holographic projection did not appear. If it weren't for the LCD watch hanging quietly in the air, Qin Shu would have really thought that the woman she saw yesterday was her hallucination.
She put the 26,400 taels of silver that the steward had collected today into her mother's gold-painted box.
It turned out that there were less than three thousand taels of cash in the treasury, which made up for the one thousand taels of dowry taken away by Second Aunt. Another seven hundred and thirty taels were spent today, so there was a little over one thousand taels left.
Adding the more than four thousand taels that the steward collected today, it is only more than five thousand taels.
Just two first-class fir wood coffins would cost four or five thousand taels of silver.
There were also the embroidered gold-embroidered clothes from Xieyunfang and burial objects and jade artifacts, which together amounted to 20,000 taels.
As well as the incense, candles, paper money and other items used in the funeral, plus hiring a leatherworker, a feng shui master, and the cost of building the tomb, it would cost about 10,000 taels.
My parents' funeral will be held in seven days, and we will keep vigil in the house for a month afterwards.
Only after the Feng Shui master has chosen the cemetery and built the tomb can my parents rest in peace.
During the period of rest, monks and Taoist priests would be invited to perform rituals to help the deceased soul to rest in peace, and a banquet would be held for relatives and friends to pay tribute to the deceased. All the expenses during this period would cost several thousand taels of silver.
After the funeral ceremony, the cousin was included in the family tree and had to go to a temporary tomb built next to his parents' graves to mourn for them for three years.
Three years!
Qin Shu's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm: In the previous life, it was only a year after my parents passed away that my stepbrother and my second uncle's family moved to the capital.
She married Liu Baocai while she was in mourning, but before she finished mourning, Liu Baocai wanted to have sex with her.
After being flatly rejected by her, Liu Baocai started to get together with Xiaotao.
As for her, she was poisoned by her second uncle and the Liu family, and ultimately did not survive another year.
Never again in this life!
After putting away the banknote, Qin Shu picked up the "membership gift box" and looked at it carefully: the gift box was a cardboard with a pink pattern on the surface and a head that looked like both a cat and a rabbit.
Oh yes, that Julie calls this gift box a “blind box”.
Qin Shu used her fingernails to scratch the thin crack in the middle of the "blind box" and opened the box.
At the top is a round, eight-cornered gold-plated iron plate with a golden multi-faceted gem painted on it.
I guess this gem represents what Miss Julie calls “gold membership”.
There is also a card that is neither paper nor gold.
Qin Shu had seen this kind of card from Miss Song Yuan in the other world. It seemed that all kinds of membership cards and bank cards were of this kind.
In addition, there was a piece of paper full of words.
The words on the paper were written horizontally, and Qin Shu didn't recognize most of them.
Sandwiched between the papers were two pieces of talisman paper painted with yellow paper and cinnabar.
Qin Shu didn't know what the talisman paper was used for, and guessed that the incomprehensible paper should contain the instructions for using the two talisman papers.
She picked up one of the talismans and looked at it carefully, and found a line of small words underneath the talisman: Truth Talisman.
The other talisman is the invisibility talisman.
Usage is unknown.
In addition, there is a small platinum box containing small round balls.
When opened, the ball was dark brown in color and covered with a thin layer of gold foil.
Qin Shu had seen Miss Song Yuan eat this little thing during the years she was a ghost in another world.
Moreover, Miss Song often drinks a drink called "coffee", which is black and smells strange.
It looks similar to this color.
Qin Shu put the ball into her mouth, bit off a little bit carefully, and tasted it carefully:
This thing is basically a candy. It is sweet and smooth. If you taste it carefully, you can find a slight bitterness in its mellow aroma.
Qin Shu's eyes lit up and she took another bite.
Mmmm, delicious!
Better than any candy she had ever eaten!
Qin Shu quickly finished one of the black candies, put the rest in the box, and picked up the invisibility talisman again.
She thought about it, put the invisibility talisman into her sleeve pocket, and slipped out of the space.
Xiao Xing, who was on duty in the cubicle, was breathing steadily and it was obvious that she was fast asleep.
Qin Shu thought of the operas she had watched before, in which gods who could exorcise evil spirits would stick talismans on their bodies to make them immune to gods and ghosts.
She quietly got off the couch, put on her cloak, and imitated what was done in the opera, dipping the talisman paper in water and sticking it on the inside of the cloak.
Then he quietly went out.
It was almost midnight and the servants and maids in the courtyard had already gone to bed.
It was a time when everything was quiet.
