Chapter 119 Amazing legacy
"Yuan Hai, maybe I..."

After walking out of the expert community, Lu Heling said.

Halfway through his words, he looked towards Era Sea again.

Ji Yuanhai reached out to hold her hand and chuckled: "You want to be secretive with me?"

Lu Heling shook his head: "No... I just feel that my position has changed too quickly, which makes me a little embarrassed."

"Before today, I was relatively unfamiliar with my relatives on my father's side; the deepest impression I had on my relatives on my mother's side was that they wanted to make a clear stand with my mother."

"After listening to what Uncle Han said, I felt that maybe they are not cold-blooded and ruthless people, and they also have feelings for my parents."

"Then go to the government department to collect the property today, and then visit them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Ji Yuanhai said, "After all, they are all your relatives. Let's see the specific attitude."

It doesn't necessarily mean anything if we haven't had much contact with each other before and have a clear stance.

Shedding tears and crying also means nothing.

It is true that some relatives and brothers will shed tears together when something happens, and it is also true that they will not give in when it comes to other aspects.

Talking about money and hurting feelings is like black humor in this kind of thing, which is accurate most of the time.

Let’s take a look at how the Lu family and Lu Heling’s uncle’s family are related.

Lu Heling nodded, indicating that she would listen to Ji Yuanhai.

Unknowingly, the two of them had spent most of the day at the subdistrict office and the expert community. Although it was already past lunch time, they were not too hungry, so they went directly to the district government.

When asking about the retrieval of items at the district government, the clerk checked their certification materials and told them that the matter should be reported to the provincial cultural relics department, where all the valuable items seized were registered and recorded.

If it's not there, it means it has no value, so there's no need to look for it; you can't find it if you look for it.

Is it possible that the items are valuable but not registered?

Ji Yuanhai did not discuss this issue with the clerk, because it would be useless to discuss it. This is a relatively embarrassing issue. Once it is checked and "lost in the middle" without filing, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

How much can you get back?

When we arrived at the provincial cultural relics department, we compared Lu Chengshan's name and confirmed that Lu Heling's certification materials were correct and there were no setbacks.

The staff led the two people to a large warehouse. After rummaging through it, they compared the registered items that were originally confiscated and took them out one by one to confirm their return and deregistration.

A copy of Huang Tingjian's cursive script and a volume of paintings of ladies by Tang Bohu.

Oracle 30 yuan.

Ji Yuanhai was very surprised when he looked at what the cultural relics managers took out.

My father-in-law is a bit awesome, and this inheritance is really amazing.

Huang Tingjian's cursive calligraphy, Tang Bohu's paintings, and oracle bone inscriptions worth 30 yuan are not something ordinary citizens can collect. He is worthy of being a young man from a landlord's family.

After 40 to [-] years, if these three items are put at auction, the combined value will be almost over [-] million, right?

"That's how many people have registered?" Lu Heling asked in surprise, "My father has several seals, right? There are also a few pieces of porcelain at home, as well as my mother's jade bracelets, gold and silver jewelry..."

There is still one?Is Lu Heling's family so wealthy?
The cultural relics staff said: "There are indeed only so many registered with us."

"We have never seen what you are talking about."

Faced with this situation, Ji Yuanhai asked the unit that originally sent the things and tried to investigate backwards. The cultural relics staff directly told him about a committee that had been disbanded.

At this point, there is basically no other way.

If it is something that has been registered, no matter where it goes or who takes it, there will be traces of it.

But this was "lost" from the beginning and was not registered at all, so there was no way to start talking about it.

Looking backward, it also involves an organization that has been disbanded and no one can be found now, or it is an old thing that happened many years ago.

That would be even more helpless.

"Your parents have lost a lot of things." Ji Yuanhai said to Lu Heling after walking out of the cultural relics department.

Lu Heling nodded: "It should be difficult to get it back."

"With these three things, it is enough to keep them as souvenirs."

The two of them returned to the hotel with their things. The waitress cracked melon seeds and watched the two of them come back with their things, and said hello: "What did you buy again?"

"Sister, we got the calligraphy and painting." Ji Yuanhai said.

"Oh." The eldest sister nodded and waved her hand to let them pass.

After putting away the oracle bones and calligraphy and paintings, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling went out to have a meal. After all, it was already the afternoon after running around for a day, and they were indeed hungry.

When he came back, Ji Yuanhai brought back another piece of fried sugar to the waiter.

The waiter took the fried sugar with a smile on his face: "Actually, I don't like this, it's just that the kids at home like it."

"Xiao Ji, if you need anything, tell me and I will help you as much as I can."

"It's not easy for you two to go out."

Ji Yuanhai quickly thanked him with a smile, chatted for a few words, and learned that the waiter's surname was Ma.

"Sister Ma, are you busy? Are we going back?"

"Hey, go ahead, Xiao Ji." Sister Ma said with a smile.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling returned to the room. When they brought hot water to wash their feet, Lu Heling started joking with Ji Yuanhai.

This sister Ma liked to talk to Ji Yuanhai and barely said hello to Lu Heling, which made Lu Heling find it quite interesting.

Ji Yuanhai also burst into laughter after hearing this.

Could it be that I am a bit charming in this regard?

Because of revisiting the old place during the day, Lu Heling had a lot of dreams at night. She suddenly woke up once and lay in the arms of Era Sea for a long time before falling asleep again.

Early the next morning, Ji Yuanhai took care of the orchids that were becoming more and more beautiful, and discussed with Lu Heling what to do today.

Lu Heling knew very little about the Lu family where her father, Lu Chengshan, came from. She didn't even know her home address, so she couldn't even think of going to visit him for a while.

Therefore, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling had no choice but to visit Lu Heling's uncle's family today.

The couple changed into brand-new clothes, tidied up, greeted the waiter Sister Ma, and walked out of the hotel.

Standing at the door of the hotel, Lu Heling suddenly remembered something: "Yuan Hai, Wang Zhuyun wanted to come with us yesterday, but she couldn't follow me because of my housework; today she doesn't know our arrangements and will she wait at the gate of the Provincial University? With us?"

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling went to the gate of Provincial University and saw that Wang Zhuyun was already wandering there.

After seeing them, Wang Zhuyun smiled and waved to say hello: "Where are we going today?"

The previous embarrassment and pettiness were of course ignored.

Before Ji Yuanhai could say anything, Lu Heling spoke first: "We haven't made up our minds yet. Do you want us to go to the zoo or the park in the middle of the lake?"

Wang Zhuyun smiled and said, "I'll do whatever I want."

After speaking, he looked at Ji Yuanhai.

Lu Heling also looked at Ji Yuanhai and asked him to make up his mind - Ji Yuanhai should know what this meant.

Ji Yuanhai did understand what Lu Heling meant and said, "In the morning, let's go to the lake center park for a walk."

But then he changed his voice: "In the afternoon, He Ling and I need to meet an elder."

After Wang Zhuyun heard this, he came back to his senses.

Did he delay their schedule?

"If you have something to do today, then hurry up and do it... We can go out to play anytime, don't delay your business."

Both Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling had decided not to let her run away this time in vain and not let her return disappointed. Of course, they did not take their words seriously.

The three of them visited the park in the middle of the lake together in the morning. The lake was clear and the lotus flowers were in full bloom. It was refreshing to walk along the path along the lake.

After having lunch and talking, Wang Zhuyun didn't want to waste the time of Ji Yuanhai and the two of them, so he proposed to go back to the dormitory of the provincial capital university.

Before saying goodbye, Lu Heling called to Wang Zhuyun: "Classmate Wang, have you seen the Great Buddhist Temple in the provincial capital?"

Wang Zhuyun shook his head.

"Let's go see the Great Buddhist Temple together tomorrow." Lu Heling said with a smile.

Wang Zhuyun was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "He Ling, is it okay if I call you this? You can just call me Zhuyun from now on!"

"Well, okay, Zhuyun." Lu Heling nodded.

"He Ling, goodbye, let's see you tomorrow!" Wang Zhuyun waved, suddenly thought of something, and glared at Ji Yuan Hai, "Ji Yuan Hai, learn from your wife, how considerate and gentle are you?"

"Such a good girl, it's such a pity to be with you!"

Ji Yuanhai knew that she was saying that Lu Heling was kind-hearted and easy to talk to, which was completely different from Ji Yuanhai's attitude towards her, so he responded directly to Wang Zhuyun with a smile.

Wang Zhuyun originally wanted to stab him, but unexpectedly he was so angry at this smile.

What are you laughing at!

She huffed and left muttering about the profiteers.

In the afternoon, Ji Yuanhai and Wang Zhuyun bought some door-to-door gifts and arrived at the door of Wang Zhuyun's brother-in-law's house - a house deep in a street in the old city.

This is the old house of the Wang family. It covers an area that is more than double or less than twice that of an ordinary family. It can be seen that the Wang family originally had a small fortune.He stepped forward and knocked on the door. A child's clear voice asked, "Who is it?"

Lu Heling asked: "Is Ye Shujun's family here?"

"Not here!" said the child inside.

A woman inside asked, "Who is outside?"

"The person looking for someone said he was looking for Ye Shujun, but I don't know him!" the kid said.

The woman immediately cursed: "What a stupid kid! He grew up on what he ate, he is so heartless! Ye Shujun is your father's name, and they are looking for your father!"

Then there was the sound of footsteps, and a woman with permed curly hair opened the door: "Are you looking for Ye Shujun?"

Lu Heling nodded, looked at the woman, and barely recognized her: "My name is Lu Heling, Ye Shujun is my uncle, are you my aunt?"

"I seem to have met you before, when you and my uncle were married for only two years."

The woman with permed and curly hair quickly turned cold: "Are you Lu Heling? Didn't you go to the countryside? Why are you back again?"

Lu Heling was startled for a moment, and her heart gradually became colder.

Originally, when she heard that her uncle Ye Shujun regretted and cried, Lu Heling thought that since her true feelings were revealed in this way, maybe she had some unavoidable reasons at the beginning, and this family of relatives might still be able to communicate with each other.

Seeing her aunt speaking so coldly and coldly, Lu Heling's feelings immediately changed.

At the same time, I recalled Ji Yuanhai's words, which was to see the specific attitude - now looking at the attitude, something really unexpected happened.

"Aunt, I'm back from the countryside and come to visit you." Lu Heling said, pushing the gift in her hand forward and asking, "Is my uncle at home?"

"Your uncle has gone to work now." After seeing the gift, the woman with permed hair softened her expression slightly, "Come in and sit down."

When he raised his eyes and saw Ji Yuan Hai, he asked, "Who is this?"

"This is my husband Ji Yuanhai." Lu Heling said.

The woman with permed curly hair nodded: "Oh, you're married. From which unit?"

Ji Yuanhai has already seen Lu Heling's aunt's indifferent attitude, and she is not very close to Lu Heling.

It would be pointless to buy such a relative by force.

So Ji Yuanhai responded first: "Hello, I am from Qingshan County's Kaoshan Commune."

When the woman with permed hair heard this, she let out a "chi" sound, like a tire deflating.

"From the rural commune below? Lu Heling, are you married in the countryside?"

"Your father and mother are both educated and intellectual people. It's your turn, why is it like this?"

Lu Heling said nothing. She was extremely disappointed with this aunt and didn't want to talk to her.

Seeing that she was silent, the woman with permed hair took another look at the gifts in her and Ji Yuanhai's hands. She felt that it was a pity to turn them away.

"Standing at the door is not an option. Come in and talk."

"Your uncle is not too busy at work. He will be back from get off work in an hour at most."

After she invited them again, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling finally entered the house and were led into the house by her.

Some of the old-fashioned courtyards and houses are exquisite, but more are old and mottled.

Three children, one or two years apart, stood at the door, staring at Lu Heling and Ji Yuanhai.The oldest child is seven or eight years old, the child who just spoke.

Lu Heling's aunt barely concealed her impatience. There was no tea or other hospitality, and she didn't even say anything. She entered the house and took the gifts brought by Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling to the back room to put them away.

Maybe you are afraid that the gift will grow wings and fly away?

When she came out again, Aunt Lu Heling said, "You guys sit down first, I'm still busy."

Then I went into the room, not knowing what to do.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling looked at each other, Ji Yuanhai smiled and Lu Heling smiled bitterly.

"If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have come. I thought there would be any changes." Lu Heling said depressedly.

"Let's wait until your uncle comes back."

As Ji Yuanhai spoke, he stood up and called the three children over.

The three children all stared at him and leaned against the door frame, but no one came over.

Ji Yuanhai searched in his pockets, but there was nothing to eat, except thirty cents.

He waved the thirty cents in his hand and said, "Come here, one cent per person."

The three children couldn't resist the temptation and ran over quickly.

With just a dime, you can buy candies and dried figs at consignment stores, and you can also buy popsicles from people selling popsicles.

"Do you know what our names are?"

Ji Yuanhai teased the three children and talked, which was fun amidst boredom.

"Uncle, aunt..."

"No, it's my sister and brother-in-law." Ji Yuanhai said, "Come, call and listen."

It's a pity that the three children changed their faces immediately after getting the money. They were thinking about food and ran out in a hurry.

Before waiting for 10 minutes, three children ran back and stood at the door with candied dried figs in their hands.

Ji Yuanhai smiled, and Lu Heling, who was originally quite depressed, also laughed when he saw this scene.

Not to mention what happened to their uncle and aunt, these three kids didn't know anything, so it was still quite fun.

After eating, three children ran in and called "sister, brother-in-law".

Well, this is a bit unlovable. I still want money to buy snacks...

The eldest child in the lead, seeing that Ji Yuanhai didn't pay any more, ran out holding an iron box as if offering a treasure: "Look, do I have many good things?"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "It's so... so good..."

"what!"

Lu Heling suddenly screamed and stepped forward, grabbing the iron box.

Ji Yuanhai was startled, and the three children were also startled, not knowing what was going on.

I saw Lu Heling find something as red as blood and one inch square from the drawing paper, glass balls, small iron pieces, and small iron rods in the iron box.

"Why is my dad's private seal of bloodstone here?"

Lu Heling's voice became slightly hoarse due to excitement. She looked at the three children in front of her and then at Ji Yuanhai in disbelief.

The three children were all frightened and at a loss, and were about to cry.

Ji Yuanhai quickly took out a dollar and handed it to them: "I'll buy some delicious food later, okay?"

The three children immediately held back their tears and nodded repeatedly.

"Let me ask you a few words," Ji Yuanhai said again, "Don't lie. If you lie, I won't give you this dollar."

The three children nodded quickly.

"What are your names?" Ji Yuanhai patiently began to ask again.

"Ye Aiguo." "Ye Aimin." "Ye Aijun."

The three children answered one after another.

The one who showed off his toys just now was the eldest child, Ye Aiguo. Although he was seven or eight years old, he was obviously quite playful and greedy, and not too thoughtful.

"Ye Aiguo, where did you get this? Do you still have it at home?"

"Yes, they are all placed under my parents' bed." Ye Aiguo answered honestly.

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Okay, I'm done asking, you can go buy something to eat."

Ye Aiguo's three children cheered and went to buy food again.

Ye Aiguo didn't want to take back the chicken-blood stone private seal in Lu Heling's hand. Even the "treasure" in his iron box was hurriedly put aside.

It seems that eating snacks is really important to him.

After they all left, Lu Heling held the soapstone private seal tightly in her hand: "Yuan Hai, why is my father's seal at their house? Why is it here?"

"Did they take advantage of it?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "It is possible, but I feel that it may not be the case. It may be that your parents sensed that something was wrong and made preparations to transfer their property."

"If this part of the property was entrusted by your parents to your uncle to hide for future use, that would make perfect sense."

"Of course... at this point, whether your uncle and your aunt will return them is also a question."

When Lu Heling heard this, she felt confused.

Did your parents entrust these things to their home, or did they steal them?
Will you give it back to yourself?
