There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 351 Starting the Chamber of Secrets

"Haha..." Zhou Xiao was looking at his daughter and laughed out loud.

The laughter echoed, Zhou Jiao quickly motioned her father not to laugh.Is it too scary?She gave her dad a sideways look.She plucked up the courage to stand in front of the organ.

Zhou Xiaozheng would really like to laugh if he was not worried about revealing his deeds.He thought his Jiaojiao was too courageous, and turned out to be a delicate little princess.

Following Zhou Xiaozheng's prompt, Zhou Jiao quickly opened the door next to her.

When she left the door, she saw a spacious passage through which a small cart passed. Zhou Jiao couldn't worry about being afraid, and she whispered, "Dad, look!"

Zhou Xiaozheng was also surprised at this moment.He did not expect that the three secret rooms mentioned in his mother's suicide note were actually not small in scale.

Seeing the door slowly closing behind him, he hurriedly pulled Zhou Jiao.

After a while, nothing unusual, Zhou Xiaozheng squatted down, looked at the ground in front of him, and found that the one-colored slate led to the front.There are ancient bricks on both sides to fill the corners-it seems that this basement was prepared by the ancestors of the Gu family.

"You follow Dad."

There should be no danger here, and there will be no traps on the ground.——Zhou Xiaozheng thought of his caution, and shook his head amused.

Despite thinking so, Zhou Xiaozheng, who was worried about an accident, still guarded his daughter behind him.He stepped forward lightly and lit the wind lantern on the wall.

"Dad, this is the location of the back garden." Zhou Jiao saw him stop, looked up at the top of the passage, and said softly.

"I check the vents. No one has come in for decades. It must be skillful to keep it as it is."

Zhou Jiao didn't have time to respond, and found that a wheelbarrow was leaning in the corner in front of her, and she hurriedly pulled Zhou Xiaozheng.

Zhou Xiaozheng stepped forward and looked at the wheelbarrow in front of him.It was discovered that the tires were still rubber. It might not be too old. It should have been used by his mother Gu Mingzhu.

Carrying wind lanterns, the father and daughter continued to move along the tunnel. Zhou Xiaozheng silently estimated the direction and distance, and stopped when they reached the corner.

"This is after the back garden, towards the main courtyard. It's almost the secret room that your grandma said. Would you like to rest and leave?"

"Hehe... Dad, you teased me." Zhou Jiao pushed him to leave quickly-at a critical moment, her father couldn't do anything wrong.She then whispered, "Dad, did you say that you are really in the study room of the main courtyard? Did you find the floor tiles on the floor of the study room just now? A lot of them don't match the color. Do you think they have been dug up? I was so embarrassed to ask. Auntie, did she mention this to you?"

Zhou Xiaozheng boasted: "My daughter is so smart! The old lady didn't mention to us, it may be related to the repair cost of the yard. You see, the yard is empty, even if she gets the yard after liberation, the money will be a lot. It is estimated that the old lady's private money will be spent here. We will have to make up this money after returning to Beijing.

Even your grandma's yard has been dug three feet, let alone the study.I don't know if the exit over there can be used. Try it later."

Zhou Jiao nodded after hearing this.If there is only one exit, she would kill her and would not let her dad come in.The father and daughter are really going to be trapped inside, and it will be great fun.

While talking, an empty platform appeared in front of him. Two old antique carts stood alone close to the corner of the wall, with weathered straw on them.

As they walked in, two large stone doors directly opposite blocked the way.

"Arrived!"

Zhou Jiao was relieved and finally came to this destination-the secret room in her grandma Gu Mingzhu's suicide note.

"Dad, don't move, I'll touch the door first." Zhou Jiao smiled at her father.She was not ashamed to say that she liked these two slate doors.Such a huge stone slab is more attractive than gold and too safe.If anyone provokes her, she can kill a large group of people with the door.

Zhou Xiaozheng would never think that his daughter, who was still as timid as a mouse, had such a cruel thoughts in his heart.Now he was smiling and patted her head dozingly.

"Well, Dad is waiting for you. Xiaowu is outside, so don't worry about time."

Hearing that, Zhou Jiao reluctantly patted the door, secretly regretting.She was worried that Zhang Guoqing was anxious outside, so she quickly stood beside Zhou Xiaozheng and waited for him to start.

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and shook his head.It is easy for him to break through the gossip, and he is sure to activate the two doors without prompting.

Following his movements, the two doors slowly retracted into the wall.

Zhou Jiao was too late to sigh when she saw this scene. She saw the secret room behind Shimen-the open space had been filled with wooden boxes and bogu frames, so that only the father and daughter could stand at the door, and they could not even reach their legs.

Facing all this, Zhou Jiao covered her forehead with a headache and looked at her father.

When Zhou Xiaozheng saw this, he couldn't hold back a smile anymore, and patted her head, "Quickly put it away. For hundreds of years of aristocratic family, this is already rare. It's scary that Dad has seen the largest secret room abroad. You. If you can't let it go, decorate less."

"Dad, don't scare me. Wouldn't you be a thief? That's dangerous."

Zhou Xiaozheng was full of laughter after hearing it---Jiaojiao, his family, is so imaginative.

Zhou Jiao shook her head helplessly at him, her smile was really low!She took out a pen and paper, and then said, "It's just too scary to pretend, but it feels too scary. Dad, you open the box, and I have to keep a good mind number."

"Whatever you remember, it's all yours anyway. You can watch it later when you have time." Zhou Xiaozheng stopped laughing and shook his head.He Jiaojiao a child, and keeps what is not hers.

"Dad, that's not okay. I will have younger siblings in the future. You must not have such thoughts. The things you give me will last my ten lives, so don't give them to me."

Zhou Xiaozheng saw that she was shaking like a wavy head, and he was really worried that she would fall off that little head, "Okay, let you go first. I'll talk about things later."

After that, seeing her smiling and directing himself to open the box, he followed her as well-just as happy as his daughter.Younger siblings?Hehe, this kid thinks a lot.

He never planned to have another one.Apart from Jiaojiao, who is eligible to inherit Zhougu's property?Who can inherit the advantages of his parents like Jiaojiao?Who can guarantee that the next child will not follow the Lin family?He owes so much to his daughter, and has to give birth to children in old age, so that Jiaojiao can bear the responsibility of the eldest daughter?how is this possible!

As for the family bloodline, Zhang Guoqing is not the eldest son. He has already agreed with his family in private that in the future, Jiaojiao's children will have two children, regardless of whether they are male or female.My in-laws also agreed that even if there is only one Ping An in Xiao Wu, they will have two rooms on their shoulders.This is what he is most satisfied with in the Zhang family-kind enough!

Zhou Jiao didn't know what her father thought.At this moment she said worriedly: Dad, did you say that my aunt's master just walked away on purpose?Grandma is also sincere.If that letter falls into someone else’s hands, isn’t our family’s stuff removed?You said that there are so many things in our house. Will there be more in my aunt?"

"Don't criticize your grandma! What about your aunt and grandpa deliberately? Our father and daughter went out empty-handed, and they followed along the way. They just doubted it, and couldn't find anything.

The Cheng family has a family background, but certainly not many.The three families of Zhou, Gu, and Cheng. Their Cheng family is mainly to open academies. Our Zhou family has always been officials for generations, not to mention that their Cheng family donated a lot in the early years.Speaking of the richest, that is, your grandma's Gu family, they had two ships in the Qing Dynasty."

After Zhou Xiaozheng finished speaking, he opened several boxes one after another, which was full of yellow pearls.He walked to the corner without believing in evil, and opened it to see that it was all silver dollars and gold, and it really complied-pearls as earth and gold as iron.

It seems that for the three alliances, the ancestors of the Gu family for several generations were also very careful.

Thinking of the Cheng family from this, Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head. He didn't want to think of the Cheng family with malice.Caibo was indeed touching, but he felt that Mrs. Cheng treated him sincerely.

As he opened the box quickly, Zhou Jiao became more and more frightened--no wonder that Gu's family would be forced to ruin the family.She thought that after the ten thousand taels of gold were loaned out, the secret room would at most consist of ancient books from the family, precious porcelains and some silk.Who would have thought that there are so many left?

"Dad, do you say that the other two places have the property of our Zhou family?"

Zhou Xiaozheng had also doubted this, but his mother left nothing.Can only wait to find a chance to see it later.It is impossible for the aristocratic family to be as rumored in the outside world—the Zhou family was destroyed in ashes.

"Your grandfather must know what his family is. The Zhou family doesn't have much gold and silver assets, but there must be a lot of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. Look at those two places later. Now you must not move those places. Have you remembered? Wait a minute and go out and pay attention. Dad's wink, it is estimated that many people are following our family this time."

"I will be careful. I will discuss any decision with you in advance. I will never act without your consent! And dad, don't show off your auntie.

I'm not worried about her old man, I'm just worried about the cousins ​​below.When it is time to repay, I will take action.But the premise is based on the safety of our family."

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her head happily. They were indeed fathers and daughters, and they all thought of one thing.

After cleaning up, clean up the traces.Zhou Xiaozheng tried the mechanism leading to the study, but it really couldn't be opened.

Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhou Jiao back to the rockery on the original road. After ruining the institution, the father and daughter smiled at each other, and they were relieved.No longer have to worry about being discovered the secret of Gu's family.

On the way back, the father and daughter met Zhang Guoqing, and the three returned to the main courtyard.

In the study, after receiving the wet handkerchief he handed over, Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter laughed immediately.The father and daughter had just cleaned up, but Zhang Guoqing had already expected the result. They are indeed smart people.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked around the study with nostalgia.Except for the books that Mrs. Cheng later recovered, and a set of valuable furniture that was repaired, it is no longer as good as it was before.

This is where his mother and his grandfather deal with affairs, and it is also his mother's favorite place to stay.Here, his mother Gu Mingzhu learned to hold a pen and write, and learned to manage the family business.It was also here that his mother and his father forged the friendship between Qin and Jin.

"The things here are reserved for tourists. Let's go, it's time to make trouble in peace." Zhou Xiaozheng finished speaking, and looked around again deeply.
