If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 475: Amazing Luck



Chapter 475: Amazing Luck

Ruan Zhaoxia put away her curious gaze and said goodbye to Shen Sui'an with a smile, "I'll come and play with you when you're free."

Shen Sui'an originally wanted to keep her for a few days, but she didn't expect the arrival of Zhao Jiuling and Yao Xinling, so she had to ask someone to send Ruan Zhaoxia back first, and she took Zhao Jiuling back to the backyard.

"Miss, are you living well in the Southern Dynasty?" Zhao Jiuling's eyes were as red as lacquer, full of worry.

Shen Sui'an nodded with a smile. The Zhao Jiuling in front of him seemed to be completely similar to the richest man in his previous life who was a master strategist, mature in his methods, and deep in his thoughts, but also somewhat different.

"I'm fine. You came back earlier than I expected." Shen Sui'an said.

Zhao Jiuling nodded and looked around subconsciously.

"Miss……"

"Call me sister." Shen Suian corrected him. She had told him last time that she did not treat him as a subordinate, and there was no master-servant relationship between them.

Zhao Jiuling pursed her lips, her eyes a little shy.

"Sister." He spoke in a low voice, holding the box with both hands, "The profit this time."

It’s another ten thousand taels more than last time.

Shen Sui'an said with a smile, "I don't lack money. You can keep the money. It will be useful in the future."

"I'll keep it. I don't have to rush to ship this time. The caravan can still go out to sea even without me." He glanced at Shen Suian.

"I brought some other things back for you. Take a look at them first."

Shen Sui'an was secretly surprised, and guessed that what Zhao Jiuling brought back this time must be unusual, otherwise it would not be so mysterious.

"Where is it?" Shen Sui'an asked.

Zhao Jiuling: "I'll have the carriage parked at the back door."

Entering through the front door is too conspicuous.

Shen Sui'an said to Ning Shuang, "Find a few strict servants to help. Don't move to the upper room, move the things to the dormitory."

Liaoyuan was where Old Master Shen and his family lived before.

There were four large boxes in total, and it was difficult for a dozen servants to carry them.

After sending the people away, Zhao Jiuling opened the boxes one by one.

The golden light almost blinded Shen Sui'an's eyes.

She took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Jiuling in surprise.

"Where, where did it come from?" All the silver he earned from his two voyages combined could not be exchanged for such a box of jewelry.

Just look at this fist-sized night pearl. Not to mention its priceless value, it may not be worth even ten thousand taels of silver.

Zhao Jiuling said, "It was found on a deserted island."

"Hmm?" Shen Sui'an's pupils shrank slightly, "What?"

"Our ship encountered a storm and lost its direction at the helm. When the storm subsided, we had already deviated from our course and ended up docking at a small country that was not shown on the nautical chart. We stayed there for three months and it was there that I discovered a small gourd-shaped island."

"I just wanted to go for a walk, but I didn't expect to find a treasure."

"These four boxes are just a drop in the bucket. I don't want to be discovered by others, so I dare not bring all of them back."

Shen Sui'an slowly sat down on the armchair, his emotions surging like a raging storm.

"Yao Xinling doesn't know either, but I think she must have some doubts, otherwise she wouldn't have insisted on following me to the Southern Dynasty."

"You..." Shen Sui'an opened his mouth, "Sit down first. I'm dizzy from all these gold and silver jewelry."

If she guessed correctly, this was the treasure from the previous dynasty that Fu Jinyuan had mentioned to her before and that He Zhiyuan had been looking for all his life.

Oh my God, how lucky is Zhao Jiuling that a storm made him so rich.

Shen Sui'an went forward to look at several pieces of jewelry and gold bars. There were no marks of the previous dynasty on them, but she had seen similar styles of several jewelry in some portraits in the palace. Those portraits were all left over from the previous dynasty.

Presumably to avoid risk, these jewels were deliberately left unmarked.

"Besides you, who else knows about the existence of that island?" Shen Suian asked in a low voice.

Zhao Jiuling said, "There is no one else. Even if they are my confidants, I will let them go into the island with their eyes blindfolded. Apart from me, no one else will know where the entrance to the treasure is."

"That's good. You can't spread it out, otherwise you might be in danger." Shen Sui'an whispered.

"Sister, next time I will bring people to move all the things back. There are still a lot of good things there." Zhao Jiuling looked at Shen Suian with sparkling eyes.

Shen Sui'an looked deeply at the four boxes of treasures in front of her. She never expected that Zhao Jiuling would bring them all to her directly.

Even if she was grateful to him for helping her, based on the money he had earned for her before, he actually didn't owe her anything.

He is truly a grateful, loyal and righteous person, which is why he was used by Song Xiuzhi for his entire life in his previous life just because of a little favor from her.

"Don't worry." Shen Sui'an whispered, "Jiuling, this treasure... should be left by the emperor of the previous dynasty. If people knew about the existence of the treasure, there would definitely be a bloody fight for it."

"Let's not touch it for now, let's wait until later..."

Zhao Jiuling nodded, "I'll listen to my sister."

Shen Sui'an laughed when he heard this, "You are already the boss who can handle things on your own. You don't have to listen to me in everything."

"I am just a woman in the harem now, and my vision is definitely not as good as yours. You can make some decisions by yourself."

"Okay." Zhao Jiuling nodded.

He is still as well-behaved as the boy I first met.

Shen Sui'an's voice became softer. "I plan to open a shipyard in the Southern Dynasty as well. I'll start once Mr. Shui arranges for the boatmen for me."

"Suzhou is the prince's fiefdom. Now they are digging a canal. Once the canal is dug, Suzhou's ships will be able to go out to sea."

Zhao Jiuling said, "I have met with the head of Shui University, and he mentioned this to me."

He raised his pair of dark, bright eyes and said, "Then I will go to Suzhou first to supervise the shipyard for my sister, and then I will go out to sea from here."

"You have been wandering on the sea for the past few years. Don't be in a hurry to go out to sea this time. Stay in the capital. I will find a marriage for you. You are not young anymore."

Zhao Jiuling's ears instantly turned red. "I, I have never thought about getting married. Don't bother me."

"I never thought about it before, but now I can start thinking about it." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

"..." Zhao Jiuling's handsome face was slightly shy. He had been displaced since he was a child and had never thought about getting married.

The reason why he can be called Master Zhao by others now is all thanks to Shen Suian.

He just wanted to go through fire and water for her, without any other distractions.

Shen Sui'an said, "Put these boxes here first, I'll have someone put them away."

She didn't know how many people outside could recognize the things from the previous dynasty, so these four boxes of gold, silver and treasures could not be seen in the world and would not bring trouble to Zhao Jiuling.

"You stay in the palace first." Shen Sui'an said.

She prepared a house for Zhao Jiuling in Kyoto City, and now she should also have a house in the royal capital.
