Sweet love in military marriage: an egg in exchange for a rough husband

Chapter 279

"Let me take a look!" Hearing this, Mr. Du walked over to the vase and found that it was not convenient to put it on the ground. "Han Sen, help me put this vase on the desk."

Han Sen followed Mr. Du's instructions and moved the vase to the desk. Mr. Du then stood around the vase and examined it. He even turned the vase upside down to look at the bottom. During this time, he asked Su Yunyun to get a flashlight and shine it on the vase to examine it carefully.

"This is a lantern vase, also known as the 'lantern zun', mainly because its shape resembles an oblong lantern, it got this name. You can see that the vessel has a straight mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, cylindrical belly, and ring foot, which are all characteristics of a lantern vase. The lantern vase was first fired in the official kiln of Jingdezhen during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty and was popular during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. However, there are more lantern bottles handed down from the Qianlong period." After inspecting it, Mr. Du had a clear idea in his mind, so he started to talk to everyone.

"Moreover, this lantern vase is decorated with rouge-colored landscapes, which is one of the patterns handed down from lantern vases. Its age can also be determined to be from the Qianlong period based on the base," Mr. Du thought for a moment and continued, "but the four olds are being destroyed at the moment, so it is hard to estimate its value."

When Su Yunyun heard Mr. Du say that this was a lantern bottle, she recalled a news story she had seen in her previous life. It said that an elderly couple in the UK used an old vase in their home as an "umbrella stand". Later, it was identified by experts as a lantern bottle handed down from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in China, with a market value of 50 pounds. If there were not a scratch on the inside of the bottle that was suspected to be left by an umbrella and stains on the paint, the market value should be more than 100 million pounds!

That flawed vase was worth 50 pounds, and now she has two of them, so it must be worth at least 2 million pounds!

Su Yunyun laughed with joy, she found a treasure so quickly!

The other people present were shocked by what Mr. Du said about “destroying the four olds”. This was within the scope of destroying the four olds!

"Yunyun, quickly put this away with Han Sen!" Father Su was very worried. "But where should we put it?"

Elder Du's eyes darkened, and he said to Su's parents, "Don't move. Yunyun, Hansen, hold the vase and follow me."

Old Du took Su Yunyun and Han Sen to the west wing, then closed the door. The Su family members who stayed in the yard looked at each other in bewilderment.

\"Dad, what's going on?" Su An scratched his head, "Isn't this just putting the things in the west wing? Why do we have to close the door?"

"Yes, is there any secret that we can't know?" Su Tai said immediately, not knowing why Mr. Du did this.

"Don't make blind guesses," Father Su looked at Su An and Su Tai with a warning in his eyes, "Your Uncle Du didn't let you know, of course he has his reasons, he won't harm you.

"Dad, I just said it casually, don't be nervous." Su An said immediately.

Father Su ignored Su An, a guess slowly surfaced in his mind: This yard belonged to Old Du before, so there must be some secret rooms or places to hide things in it, and Old Du must know about it. Now he went to the west wing and closed the door, probably to take Su Yunyun and Han Sen to hide something!

This house now belongs to Su Yunyun, and she is Mr. Du's goddaughter. Su Yunyun should know about the secret rooms or places where things are hidden, but they don't need to know so much.

In fact, some people present had also thought of Su's father's guess, such as Su Ping, Su Kang, etc. They were all waiting in the yard with calm expressions, without any fluctuations in their hearts!

Just like Su's father said, since Mr. Du didn't let them know, then there must be a reason for that. There's no need to ask questions that shouldn't be asked.

In the west wing, Du Lao instructed Han Sen to move the bed. Then he squatted down and fumbled around. With a click, Du Lao opened a secret compartment. "Put the lantern bottle in there. If there are any things that are not suitable to be left outside for people to see, put them in there. No one knows about this place. It's very safe."

Su Yunyun and Han Sen were very surprised. They didn't know that there was such a magical place behind their bed. But they didn't ask. Instead, they put the lantern bottle in according to Mr. Du's instructions, closed the secret compartment under Mr. Du's explanation, and then put the bed back in place.

"Don't let anyone else know about this secret compartment. Only you two need to know about it. Do you hear me?" Old Du looked at Su Yunyun and Han Sen and gave them earnest instructions.

"Okay, godfather." Su Yunyun answered obediently, and Han Sen nodded in response.

"Then let's go out now and move the desks and cabinets in the yard to their proper places." Old Du walked to the door, opened it and walked out first.

After Su Yunyun and Han Sen walked into the yard, they moved the desk and cabinet to the west wing with their family, and then moved the original desk and cabinet from the west wing to the front yard for the children to use. During this time, no one asked where the lantern bottle was, as if the lantern bottle had never appeared.

After everything was packed up, everyone went to the living room. Before dinner time, they sat together and chatted. Su Tai asked Mr. Du, "Uncle Du, how do you know so many things?"

Mr. Du was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, "I saw this a lot when I was a kid!"

Just this one sentence made the Su family members glare at Su Tai with hostility in their eyes: If you can't speak, don't speak!

Old Du noticed it, and a barely perceptible smile and touch of emotion appeared in his eyes. The Su family really took care of him in every way!

Seeing this, Su Yunyun didn't say anything, but returned to the west wing and took out a package and handed it to Du Lao, "Godfather, look at this!"

Although Su's father and mother didn't know what this was, they very much approved of Su Yunyun's behavior of diverting Mr. Du's attention, and then glared at Su Tai fiercely: My son is not as smart and capable as my daughter!

Mr. Du didn't understand what was going on, so he opened the package in his hand and said with wide eyes: "This is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng!"

"Right, right!" Su Yunyun said repeatedly, "When I saw it, I found that it was the same as what was said in the book. It was also considered to be a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Now my godfather also said so, then it seems that I was right!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Du looked at Su Yunyun with satisfaction and said, "You have a good grasp of the knowledge points, but was this also brought by Wang Dali?"

"Yes," Su Yunyun told Mr. Du how Wang Dali bought it, "I think if I come across it in the future, I can buy it again!"

"You think this is Chinese cabbage? You can buy as much as you want!" Mr. Du scolded with a smile, "You are lucky to be able to buy these two!"

"I'm so lucky!" Su Yunyun muttered.

No one present heard it clearly except Han Sen. Han Sen just looked at Su Yunyun with a smile. She is God's own daughter, how could her luck be bad!

When the Su family heard that it was a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, they all gathered around and took a closer look at what the ginseng looked like to broaden their horizons.

After everyone had finished observing, Su Yunyun placed the wild ginseng in front of Su's father and mother, "Dad, Mom, keep this!"
