Burning down my ex-husband's house! I won't raise these bastard children anymore

Chapter 110 The Old House

After lunch, Lin Panpan finally took the time to look at her morning harvest.

Three rooms were cleared that night, but most of the things were destroyed.

"Oh! These are all porcelain fragments. I don't know whether these porcelains are real or fake. It's a pity." Lin Weiguo sighed.

Lin Panpan saw the three lonely porcelain pieces in the corner and said, "These three are quite intact. Let's put them away first."

Lin Panpan saw two more intact chairs. After examining them carefully, she said:

“This should be made of rosewood, it’s quite valuable.

These things must have belonged to a wealthy family, and they were smashed pretty hard."

Lin Feng shouted, "Auntie, come and see if these brushes, inkstones, paper, and inkstones are worth anything?"

Lin Panpan walked to the wooden box and looked at the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone inside.

Those pens are Hu brushes. The pen shafts are made of Xiangfei bamboo, and the brush hairs are made of selected high-quality wool, as white as snow.

The ink is Hui ink, with a regular rectangular shape and a shiny black body.

There are also several inkstones with signatures on them, but the specific value of these things is unknown.

Lin Panpan just wants to collect more old items. If she doesn't accept them, someone else will.

But the most important thing is to collect coins. She was quite disappointed today as she didn't find a single coin.

Four more rooms were cleaned up this afternoon, and Lin Panpan only found a large wooden box, which was completely smashed to pieces. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the box.

But Lin Panpan always felt that there was something wrong with this wooden box. She searched the connection between the wall and the bottom of the box repeatedly, tapped it lightly with her fingers, and listened carefully to the difference in the sound.

After a long time, her fingertips touched an extremely hidden small protrusion in a corner. The protrusion was almost integrated with the surrounding wood grain. If you didn't feel it carefully, it would be difficult to detect.

Lin Panpan pressed it carefully, and heard a slight "click". The bottom of the box slowly slid open, revealing the space below.

Twenty silver ingots were neatly stacked on one side, and each ingot had many stamps clearly printed on it.

Looking at the back of the silver ingot, there are densely packed small pits, as regular and orderly as a honeycomb.

"This should be our local silver ingot, quite good." Lin Panpan smiled faintly, she seemed to have become rich.

She then looked at the ten strings of copper coins next to them. They were all from the Ming Dynasty, Yongle Tongbao, Jiajing Tongbao with 11 liang carved on the back, Longqing Tongbao...

Lin Panpan was happy. The two Yongle Tongbao coins with three coins on the back had a market value of between 33 and 66 yuan.

There is also a hand-carved gold palace coin of Tianqi Tongbao. This coin is exquisitely crafted and was used by the royal family. It is rare and of extremely high value.

A Wanli Tong Bao coin with both sides facing forward. A Wanli Tong Bao coin with both sides facing forward has a very high market value due to its extremely small minting volume.

The other copper coins are very common, and those with higher value will have a market price of around 1 yuan in the future. Some can only be sold for a few thousand, but Lin Panpan really likes them.

She swallowed her saliva and carefully put away the copper coins and silver ingots. She had made a fortune...

In the evening, Lin Panpan prepared a table full of delicious dishes. She looked at Zhang Xiang and said, "Master Xiang, do you think this table of dishes suits your taste?"

Zhang Xiang looked at her and said, "Not bad, it's really good."

Zhang Xiang's brother shouted, "Boss, what do you mean by 'good'? I've never seen anyone in Northeast China cook better than her. Panpan, you're amazing."

Lin Panpan chuckled and said, "Since I've worked so hard, could you do me a small favor?"

"Okay... I knew it. What do you want me to help you with?" Zhang Xiang took a sip of wine and looked at her with a smile.

Lin Panpan said a little embarrassedly: "Nothing, I plan to buy a house in the city, preferably with a yard, can you help me look for one?"

Zhang Xiang looked at her and asked, "How much do you plan to buy a house for?"

Lin Panpan smiled and said, "Around a thousand, preferably one closer to the city, with a yard and more rooms..."

Zhang Xiang chuckled, "A thousand yuan? How about this! I'll give you 1000 yuan, and you help me buy a house like this."

"Hey! Am I not as powerful as you?"

Zhang Xiang looked at her with both anger and amusement and said:

"Come on! You don't dare to say anything, there is a house like this.

But 1000 yuan is not enough for you. I can help you negotiate it to 5000 yuan, if you think it is suitable!

Just eat it. If you don’t think it’s suitable, forget it.”

Lin Panpan's mouth dropped. "Are you sure? A house costs 5000 yuan. Are you trying to rob me?"

Zhang Xiang said helplessly, "Can you wait until you go see the house first?"

In the afternoon, Lin Panpan went directly with Zhang Xiang to look at the house. Zhang Xiang smiled and said, "Just tell me if this house is magnificent or not?"

Lin Panpan was stunned. Wow, a Chinese-style courtyard house covering an area of ​​more than 400 square meters.

She was moved...

"Isn't the price too expensive?" Lin Panpan really liked this house, but she didn't have the 5000 yuan.

Zhang Xiang sighed and said:

"This courtyard house belongs to my friend. His family has lived here for several generations and has a deep affection for it.

If it weren't for the difficult situation we're facing now, no one would be willing to sell it."

Zhang Xiang paused for a moment and said:

“I know you like old things, so I talked to my friends about it.

If you can take over this house, every blade of grass, every brick and tile in the yard, as well as the old furniture and furnishings in the house, will be left to you intact. "

This was too tempting for Lin Panpan. She walked around the old house. The courtyard wall was made of blue-gray bricks and stones, which were slightly mottled due to the erosion of time. The top of the wall was covered with black tiles, and the four corners were slightly raised.

Walking into the house, there is a spacious courtyard with the ground paved with square bricks, and moss occasionally grows between the gaps.

There is a round stone platform in the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by several green plants, which add a bit of vitality to the yard.

In the main hall, antique furniture is neatly arranged.

The heavy solid wood tables and chairs are dark in color. Against the wall is a set of carved wooden cabinets, on which some antique porcelain is displayed.

The Huanghuali wood furniture on the side is particularly eye-catching. The grain of the material is clear and smooth, the tables and chairs are exquisitely crafted, the mortise and tenon structure fits perfectly, and the curvature of the armrests and backrests is just right, showing a simple and elegant style.

Lin Panpan swallowed and said, "Are you sure you'll leave these things to me in the future?"

Zhang Xiang looked at her and said, "As long as you can come up with this much money, the house will naturally belong to you."

Lin Panpan coughed and said, "Let me ask you a question! Can we get a loan from the bank?"
