857 My Brothers Mothers Surname Is Qin!

Could it be that there wasnt enough storage s.p.a.ce for so many videos?

Ji Qingyan was computer illiterate, but she still knew the most basic functions of the PC.

The video recordings seemed to take up a lot of memory s.p.a.ce. Thus, it would not take long for the hard disk to be filled up.

That would be possible.

Guo Ningyue muttered, I think there are other portable hard drives around. Let me look for them.

Guo Ningyue got up and rummaged through the drawers in the room, but she couldnt find it.

Then, she opened the closet to take a look. There was nothing there, but she saw something else.

Sister-in-law, come here. Ill show you something good. Guo Ningyue stopped what she was doing and said.

What could it be?

Come quickly.

Ji Qingyan stood beside Guo Ningyue.

She found that the wardrobe was filled with w.a.n.g Mas and Uncle Zhaos clothes. The style was a little old and there was nothing eye-catching about them.

Whats there to see?

Not these clothes. Look at the red quilt with embroidery below.

Ji Qingyan looked in the direction Guo Ningyue was pointing.

She was surprised to see a quilt embroidered with lotus leaves, and her eyes lit up.

This is Su embroidery! Ji Qingyan was surprised.

Su embroidery? I think Ive heard of this thing before. Guo Ningyue said,

It is an ancient skill. It seems to be quite difficult to learn.

Its not just difficult to learn. There are probably less than a hundred people in Huaxia who know this kind of craftsmans.h.i.+p, said Ji Qingyan.

Ji Qingyan squatted down and touched the blanket. The embroidery is so good. If this pair of blankets were to be auctioned, it would be worth at least a million yuan.

No way, is it that valuable? Guo Ningyue was shocked and very surprised.

My mother is from Wuzhong. She knows how to embroider. She told me a lot about it when I was young, so Im relatively familiar. Besides, I said 1 million, but that is already a very conservative figure. If theyre lucky, its possible to sell it for 1.5 million.

Oh my G.o.d, thank goodness you took a look. Otherwise, I wouldnt have known that such a valuable treasure was hidden in my house.

Hm? Ji Qingyan muttered under her breath. Didnt you tell me that there was something good to look at? Didnt you know how valuable it is?

I really didnt, Guo Ningyue said.

I said it was good because my brother was wrapped it in this blanket when he was given to the orphanage.

Are you sure?

Im sure, Guo Ningyue said.

I remember one time when I was sleeping in my mothers house. Coincidentally, my period came a few days late. I wanted to put a small blanket on the bed and saw this. However, my mother refused to let me use it no matter what. She said that my brother was wrapped in this blanket back then. It was a memento, so she didnt let me take it.

And?

Then, I took my brothers school uniform which I promptly stained. After that, my brother almost beat me to death when he found out about it.

Haha

Ji Qingyan laughed out loud without a care for her image. She felt embarra.s.sed for Lin Yi just thinking about it.

Ji Qingyan reached out and touched the blanket. She felt that Lin Yis body temperature still lingered on it.

Sister-in-law, if you want to see it, take it out and take a look. Its not a big deal.

Can I?

Ji Qingyan really wanted to take it out to take a look because it was the only thing related to Lin Yis childhood.

Its just a blanket. Why not? Guo Ningyue said nonchalantly.

Even if its worth 1.5 million, its nothing compared to my brothers current net worth.

But I dont dare to touch it. Im afraid that Mother w.a.n.g will say something about me.

Sister-in-law, youre too timid. When you get married in the future, youre going to be bullied by my brother.

Your brother has been bullying me a lot now.

Sometimes in life, you have to take risks and face the consequences. Its better to face these conflicts now even if it means getting into a fight, as youll reap the rewards in 18 years.

As she spoke, Guo Ningyue took out the pair of red embroidered quilts.

Aiya, be careful, said Ji Qingyan. This is the only thing your brother has left.

Its fine. It cant be broken.

The carefree Guo Ningyue did not worry too much. She opened the blanket so that Ji Qingyan could see it clearly.

However, when the blanket was unrolled, Ji Qingyan and Guo Ningyue were both stunned.

This was because an envelope that had long turned yellow had fallen out from under the blanket. There was a piece of red paint on it.

On the wax, there was a traditional Chinese character Qin.

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other in surprise. They never expected that there would be a letter hidden under the blanket.

Sister-in-law, this letter seems a little strange. Its actually not sealed with glue.

This thing is called wax. It was used by wealthy families in ancient times, said Ji Qingyan.

When I was in school, in keeping up with the schools history and culture, Yan University sealed our graduation recommendation letters with wax.

However, this envelope is a little old. It seems to be from way back then. Moreover, the word Qin on it looks very imposing, just like in ancient dramas.

She rarely watched television dramas, but she had read many history books.

It was true that all the wealthy families in ancient Huaxia wrote letters like this.

The word Qin on it represented the ident.i.ty of the person who wrote the letter.

Sister-in-law, I suddenly thought of an issue, Guo Ningyue gulped and said nervously.

What question.

You just said that the pattern on the blanket is Su embroidery. Its worth at least a million yuan now. More than 20 years ago, my brother was wrapped in it before being sent to the orphanage. How rich must my brothers family be?

After hearing Guo Ningyues words, Ji Qingyan also realized this problem.

More than twenty years ago, they had used a Su embroidery blanket as a babys blanket. Based on this, one would believe that they lacked money. At the very least, her own family would never be so extravagant.

But your brothers surname is Lin. How do you explain the word Qin?

Aiya, sister-in-law, youve been smart all your life, but sometimes you can be muddle-headed, Guo Ningyue said.

It means that my brothers mothers surname is Qin.

Ji Qingyan pursed her lips. She had naturally thought of this as well.

However, Lin Yis mother was the madam of the Lin family. When she wrote a letter, she should write the word Lin, not Qin.

Sister-in-law, do you think its possible that my brothers ident.i.ty is recorded within this letter?

I I think its possible.

Shall we open it and take a look?

I dont dare. Im afraid that Mother w.a.n.g will be unhappy.

Its fine, Guo Ningyue said. At most, Ill let her scold me. Ill take the blame for you.

Its better not to. Its been so many years, but Mother w.a.n.g hasnt opened it. She definitely doesnt want others to see it. If you open it, Mother w.a.n.g will definitely be unhappy.

But Im curious.

Even if youre curious, you cant open it. Its too rude.

Alright, Ill listen to you. Lets put the things back and continue looking for the hard drive.

Uh-huh.

Just as the two of them were packing up their blankets, they unexpectedly saw w.a.n.g Cuiping walk in.

Daughter-in-law, Xiaoyue, come out for dinner.
