A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 397 Opening the Blind Box
The passion of youth is rebellion and running against the wind.

A group of children rushed out of the school gate, laughing and joking, clutching a few cents or dimes in their hands, to buy their favorite snacks or toys from the vendors.

Those without money can only watch enviously.

"Su Huan, here you go."

Yun Xiaojiu handed a grilled sausage to Su Huan, who was standing next to her.

"We're going to Grandma's house for National Day, do you want to come?"

Su Huan shook her head: "I have things to do."

He's busy making money. The money he earned from going to the beach with Yun Jiao and the others to collect seafood and sell it was only enough to make his life a little easier.

But it's not enough.

His grandmother is old, and older people are most prone to illness, so he can't just wait around.

We need to save more money just in case.

"Okay then, see you after National Day."

After saying goodbye to his good friends and returning home, Yunlin Hai took his whole family to an island by boat.

It's time to open the blind boxes.

Yun Xiaowu, as if having a great time, was the first to open the box: "This box of mine contains porcelain, most of which are broken."

Yun Xiaoba: "Don't throw it away, I'll take it back and ask Master if it can be repaired."

Even if these cultural relics are restored and no longer worth much, it's still good for them to keep them as their own.

Thinking about the cultural relics she now possesses, Yun Xiaoba even wants to set up a collection room like Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao can manage as long as she gets the island, but what about him? He doesn't even have enough room in his room.

What a sweet trouble.

"what is this?"

Yun Jiao took something out of a small square box, and Yun Xiaoba's pupils shrank instantly when he saw it.

"This...it looks like the Imperial Seal!"

The imperial seal was reserved exclusively for the emperor.

The most famous imperial seal in history is the Imperial Seal of the State of Qin Shi Huang.

Unfortunately, that imperial seal was lost in history long ago, and no one knows where it is now.

Although this jade seal is not the one belonging to the First Emperor, it was still used by emperors.

A large, complete piece of Lantian jade, with several lifelike dragons carved on it.

It feels heavy in the hand.

“If it’s something the emperor uses, then it’s a priceless treasure.”

Yunlinhe and the others gathered around the jade seal, examining it closely: "It's really beautiful."

"Shouldn't this be handed over to the government?"

Yun Xiaoba nodded: "Yes, we can't keep them in our family."

He follows his master and is now involved in the cultural relics circle, so he knows which items must be handed over to the state.

"Then pay it."

"Since we have to hand over some anyway, let's hand over the things that can't be kept. It'll make it easier to salvage the sunken ship later."

As for its monetary value, they don't care.

Those several large boxes of gold aren't worth much?
They are very content with so much money.

Not to mention that quite a few can still be left behind.

So everyone continued opening blind boxes.

"There's actually a costume here."

When one of the boxes was opened, a magnificent theatrical costume appeared before everyone.

Like the previous Qing Dynasty costume, this costume is also well preserved; it is a complete, meticulously crafted imperial concubine costume.

Just as stunning as the previous outfit.

The crown is made using the kingfisher feather inlay technique, and the pearls on it are all real!
Moreover, the embroidery on the clothes looks similar to the previous set, and the fabric feels excellent.

Even after all this time, this costume still looks dazzling.

"My goodness, who is this costume for?" Yun Xiaojiu's eyes lit up as she looked at the costume.

He's really enjoying these things now, thanks to learning from his teacher.

"Jiaojiao, can I have this costume? I'll give it to you when I grow up and earn money."

He really liked it.

Yun Jiao generously replied, "No need to pay, it's a gift for Ninth Brother."

"I was going to give you things anyway. You can choose whatever you like from the things we salvaged this time."

Yun Jiao already has a beautiful outfit, but those pearls and gemstones are what she likes the most.

"Jiaojiao, you're so kind."

The happiest person was Yun Xiaoba, who already had quite a few antique porcelain pieces, even though they were all styles that Yun Jiao didn't like.

It's either too flashy or too plain.

But it's different for him.

Those porcelain pieces were something even his master would envy.

"Pack the clothes first, then we'll open the next box."

The feeling of opening blind boxes is so exciting!

Even by evening, the work was still not finished.

They took flashlights and carried the valuable items they found after opening them onto the ship, especially the parts that were to be handed over to the state.

Most of the rest will remain hidden on the island until a treasure room is built here, at which point Yun Jiao will put them in.

Some are completely worthless.

For example, tea leaves, and some paper and cloth that are completely unusable.

Some of them weren't antiques; they contained clothes, specifically the clothes worn by the crew.

There are also some tableware items that have no research value, which were used by the crew members.

However, all the tableware was taken onto the ship.

“These can still be used after being washed. They’re much nicer than the earthenware bowls we have at home. We could sell them for some money.”

The person who could procure such a large shipment back then must have been a European nobleman at least.

The tableware they used looked high-end and classy, ​​definitely more attractive than their own tableware.

I returned home under the cover of night and put everything away properly.

Shen Yunlian rubbed her lower back and looked at the things in the room.

"This house used to look quite big, but now it feels much smaller."

Yun Linhai: "Why else? There's just too much stuff at home."

Yun Xiaoba: "Father, I want an empty house. I can't fit all my things in my house."

Yunlinhe: "We have two guest rooms. I'll clean one out for you. Just make sure you lock the door properly. When relatives come over with their kids during holidays, they might break all your precious things. Who will you complain to then?"

The problem is that these things are valuable; who can afford to pay for them?

Yun Xiaoba happily said, "I understand!"

Yun Xiaojiu: "Mother, I also want an empty room to dance in."

He now practices dancing and singing in the yard.

Very few boys learn to dance, and in this rural area, you rarely see girls learning to dance or sing. So when the news spread that Yun Xiaojiu was going to learn to dance, the village discussed it for days.

He practices his singing and dancing in the yard every day, and many villagers come to see him out of curiosity, pointing and whispering.

He doesn't like being surrounded by people.

Yun Linhai: "Our house really doesn't have enough rooms!"

Grandpa Yun: "Why don't we buy that adjacent plot of land to the east as well, and build a few rooms for the children? They can do whatever they want."

Anyway, I'm not short of money now.

The children immediately became happy and clamored that they wanted a room too.

Yun Jiao calculated that she should have enough money now to buy the right to use that island.

Once she takes over the island, she'll build her own big house and a huge treasure vault; she has the most treasures of the whole family.
