September 23rd, the tenth year of Yuanhe.
Early in the morning, the sky was gray and the door of Xuji Tavern was slammed loudly.
Xu Cheng put on his coat and trotted to the shop, complaining, "Who is it? Knocking on the door before dawn. How big a deal is this?"
A hurried call came from outside the door, "Brother Chengzi, I'm Xu Zao, looking for the head of the family."
The door opened with a "whoosh" and Xu Zao rushed up to the second floor like a gust of wind.
Before he could knock on the door, he heard Xu Da's voice asking him to come in.
Inside the house, Xu Da had already put on his clothes and sat down at the table.
"Brother, we dug it out." He closed the door and lowered his voice, his tone full of unconcealable surprise.
"This girl really didn't lie to us. You ask the brothers to pack up the things, and then arrange a carriage to load some furniture and transport it to Qingfeng Villa to hide from people. After dark, transport the things to the winery. Wait for me tonight, I will make arrangements." Xu Da arranged the follow-up matters in a blink of an eye.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Tears seemed to flow out of Xu Zao's eyes.
"Also, fill the well back up and restore it to its original state."
Xu Zao received instructions and left in a hurry.
Xu Da closed the door, took out a tablet from the cabinet in the corner, burned incense, knelt down, kowtowed three times in a proper manner, and stared at the tablet for a long time without saying a word.
There is a line of words written on the tablet: The seat of the ancestor of the Xu family.
"Muxia, the master of the house has something to do today, so don't go up to bring him breakfast." When Xu Cheng saw Jiang Muxia in the morning, he informed her in advance. He knew that Xu Da had been in a low mood since Xu Da came early. He closed the door and refused to see anyone.
Jiang Muxia agreed immediately. She calculated that there would be results in Qingfeng Villa in the next two days, and she would finally leave this place of trouble.
At the critical moment, she didn't want to make herself unhappy.
At si time, in the north of Suanzao County, there was a wine shop.
Today, Xinruo Winery closed two hours earlier than usual. There were five empty carriages parked in the stable in the side yard. There was only a handsome servant in the yard, adding fodder to the trough and taking care of the horses and cattle. If you listened carefully, you could hear him humming a tune happily.
"Guys, take your time eating. I'm going to get busy now." This person was Zhou Yue, the 13 or 14-year-old boy with big peach-blossom eyes, one of the participants in the Qingming Villa.
In the backyard of Xinruo Winery, the door of the main room was closed. In the middle of the room, five sandalwood boxes were placed in a row with their lids closed. Dozens of people were sitting in front of them, each with a smile on their face.
They are all waiting for someone.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and a man wearing a beige cloak and with two strands of hair on his cheeks fluttering in the wind came in. His eyes were like stars and his face was as dark as water.
"Big brother." Everyone stood up and saluted him.
"Thank you, brothers. We, the Xu family, have been searching for a hundred years. Today, on September 23, the tenth year of Yuanhe in Dawu, we finally found the treasure that our ancestors risked their lives to hide. We, without paying off our mission, have finally given an explanation to our ancestors."
Xu Da opened the lid of the box, and gold, silver and jewelry appeared before his eyes.
"All this is thanks to Big Brother." Everyone said in unison.
"It's not me. We have someone else to thank."
"But, can Miss Jiang stay?" Xu Zao was still frightened and he didn't believe her.
After learning the news from her, we sent someone to check on her. Jiang Muxia had been born in Xiyan Village, and the farthest place she had ever been to was Suanzao County.
She was a coward before, but her personality changed drastically after she fell.
How did such a person know the exact location of the Treasure Well?
If she had evil intentions and spread the news, they would be finished.
Xu Da's eyes were as cold as a sword, shooting at him coldly, "Were we also the ones who were ungrateful?"
Xu Zao hurriedly replied: "Brother is right, I am narrow-minded. But, should we really keep our promise and give her 30%? If she tells this, won't we...?"
"Since she has come to me, she will not reveal it. She is a smart person. Don't worry, I will not give her a penny. I will handle the next matter. Everyone, remember, no matter what, you must not be disrespectful to Miss Jiang."
"Also, these treasures are the property of our entire Xu family, except for the brothers present here. There are still hundreds of old and young people in our hometown, and these must be divided equally among everyone. If the brothers present want to take the money and return to their hometown to live a peaceful life, they will now go their separate ways."
There was a long silence, and Xu Zao was the first to speak. "I am the oldest here, so I will express my opinion first. I have been in Suanzao County for three years, and my brothers have treated me well. Now I am living a good life, and my whole family is here. This is our hometown, our roots, and I want to return to my roots. I want to take care of this winery and live a peaceful life."
"But should we give up on our great cause?" someone questioned.
Xu Da's eyes showed determination. "That was a thing of the past. Our ancestors had robbed passers-by. The accusation they received was not unjust. Now the world is peaceful. What we are trying to do will not only harm ourselves, but also innocent people. From now on, let the past go with the wind. Let's live a good life. That's the right way."
"I'm afraid the old patriarch won't allow it."
"I have my own plans. I have been wandering for a hundred years. You shouldn't get yourself involved in the past."
"Okay, let's listen to big brother."
Someone suggested, "How about this? Big brother, please help us transport these treasures back to our hometown, and we can divide them among ourselves. From now on, we won't mention this matter again. Those who are willing to return home can come with us, and those who are not willing can take the gold and silver and go their separate ways."
"I agree. I'll leave the affairs of the sect to Brother Xu Zao."
After agreeing on the follow-up, Xu Da returned to the tavern.
"Are you back? I've been waiting for you for a long time." The door of the room on the second floor was open. The oil lamp illuminated her snow-white face. Her sharp eyes made Xu Da's heart shudder.
"Sorry, I'm afraid I might have said something out of turn." He closed the door lightly, feeling apologetic towards her.
Jiang Muxia took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "You men have never kept your promises. I am stupid." She raised her eyebrows and changed the subject, "But you can't just let it go like this." She put down the teacup in her hand heavily, her eyes wide open with anger.
"Of course. I'll give you two hundred taels of silver and a shop. Don't you want to open a snack shop? I've already found one. It's right next to the tavern, and the title deed has been prepared." He took out a carved wooden box from the shelf and placed it respectfully in front of her.
"If you have any other requests, just let me know."
Jiang Muxia lowered her eyebrows to hide her anger and said coldly: "Xu Da, you are so calculating. From the beginning, you never thought about fulfilling your promise."
"I'm sorry, I'm doing this for your own good. You have no power, and getting gold and silver will only bring you disaster."
"For my own good?" When she heard these three words, she seemed to be under a spell. Her eyes were unfocused and her hair stood on end with anger.
Jiang Muxia stood up suddenly, and the chair was knocked to the ground by her, making a loud noise in the silent night.
What greeted Xu Da was a violent storm from her.
