Chapter 1942: Chapter 675: 673: Open the Painting, Find the Treasure_1

“Sister, we’ll help too.”

Little Eight Lin Jinhao and Little Nine Lin Jinlei, seeing the two little ones having grand fun around their sister, felt a twinge of jealousy, so they too hopped over to the window with giggles and laughter.

“Sister, we’re here too.”

Little Ten Lin Jinrui and Little Eleven Lin Jintong, popping their heads out from behind their brothers, were also grinning like nincompoops.

“Good, good, quite the lively day today, all my little brothers are here.”

Lin Qingluo looked at all the happy faces, feeling contagiously cheerful. She cheerfully instructed her maids.

“Zizhu, Shu Min, prepare some tea, and tell the kitchen to prepare a good meal. Let’s have lunch in the Fluttering Snow Residence.”

“Yes.”

The maids acknowledged with smiles and exited the room, lifting up the curtain.

“Yay, yay, we get to eat at sister’s place.”

Six little brothers, eyes all lit up at the mention of a meal.

Little Twelve and Little Thirteen waved their little arms cheerfully, playfully circling around Sister.

Wang Meng, Shitou and Lin Yixuan, three young men, all had faces of pleasant surprise.

“Master, let’s open the box quickly and see what treasures are inside.”

Shitou, restless in spirit, couldn’t sit still. After loitering around the courtyard, his eyes landed on two exquisite looking large wooden boxes, each about a square meter.

“There are no locks on the boxes, so feel free to open them yourselves.”

Lin Qingluo, smiling, left the room with two of her little brothers.

“Alright, let’s unbox.”

Shitou’s eyes gleamed. With a ‘ptui-ptui’ sound, spitting into his palms twice, and rubbing them together as if getting ready for a treasure hunt.

Despite the grand setup, someone was faster.

Little Twelve and Little Thirteen, two small figures darted out from the room and ran straight to the two large wood boxes. Each opened one box.

“What’s there?”

The curiosity of the crowd of youngsters was piqued; they approached, laughing and chatting eagerly.

One box was neatly filled with gold ingots, the other contained treasured calligraphy and paintings, antique jades.

Lin Yixuan stretched into the box and brought out a flower-scrolling lotus-eight-treasures wrapped box, ran to his sister, and beaming, thrust it into his sister’s hands.

“Sister, this box is beautiful. Keep it for yourself.”

“Alright, Yixuan is so well-behaved, always thinking of Sister for any nice things.”

Lin Qingluo received the box with much joy, patting his head affectionately.

“Hehe.”

Lin Yixuan was very delighted, fully enjoying his sister’s affection.

“There are a few ancient paintings too; let’s unroll and see if there’s any treasure map.”

Shitou, his thunder stolen by the two youngsters and missing the chance to unbox, didn’t feel quite right. He surreptitiously set his sights on those old paintings.

“You’ve got to be kidding, wealth-obsessed addict. Always thinking about treasures.”

Wang Meng retorted without a second thought.

“Open the painting, open the painting, look for treasure!”

Enabled by their size, Little Twelve and Little Thirteen were full of rambunctious energy. Hearing about treasure stirred them up even more as they reached in to pull out two ancient paintings.

“You two, slow down, be careful not to tear it.”

Lin Jinhao and Lin Jinlei couldn’t bear to watch any longer; each grabbed a younger one by the collar and hauled them away from the box.

The weathered old paintings barely held together and could not withstand any rough handling. Seeing these in the hands of the little ones made onlookers anxious.

Lin Jinrui and Lin Jintong also came over, taking the scroll paintings from their younger brothers with great care.

Shitou also grabbed a painting, unfolding it in front of everyone with a serious face for appraisal.

“Quit faking! With the limited knowledge you’ve got, you think you can appraise paintings?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
