Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Zhongdu Sensation
These past couple of days, Zhongdu has been completely overtaken by one topic.
On every street and in every alley, people are talking about it.
“Hey, have you heard? Patriarch Chen’s dowry for An Yan filled over a dozen large trucks!” someone said.
“Heh, you’ve only heard, but I saw it with my own eyes!” another person scoffed.
“Oh? Really? Then tell us, what did they send?”
The crowd around them swelled.
“Yeah! Do tell!”
“I heard there’s an endless number of fancy goodies inside! Just the gold jewelry alone weighs over a hundred jin!”
“Gold? Heh! That’s the least valuable thing they sent!”
Seeing himself surrounded by so many people, the guy was very pleased with himself and purposely spoke up loudly.
This comment stirred up a buzz among those nearby.
“Gold isn’t valuable? Then what counts as valuable?” Some people were a bit incredulous.
“That’s why you’re all just commoners, with no way to imagine what life is like for the truly wealthy! Today, I’ll enlighten you!”
The man garnered everyone’s attention, then whispered, “Have you ever seen blood coral over three meters tall?”
The crowd shook their heads.
“I saw it that day; that thing is a real rare treasure!”
“Ever seen pearls the size of a child’s fist? I saw dozens of them that day.”
“Ever seen a limited-edition global sports car?”
“That we have!” the crowd nodded.
“Heh, the family sent seven of those.”
“Why seven?” someone asked.
“Obviously, because the seven cars all come in different colors. They sent them for her to drive a different color for each day of the week!”
“Oh!” The crowd finally caught on.
“Those still aren’t the most valuable things!”
“Those aren’t valuable enough?”
“Heh! It’s like I said, poverty limits your imagination.” The man gestured with his hands as he spoke.
“What are you miming there?” someone curiously asked.
“Ever seen a wooden box this big? Made of Zitan wood?”
“What’s so special about that? A wealthy friend of mine has one at his place!” someone found a chance to boast and quickly piped up.
“The key isn’t the box!”
“Then what is it?” the crowd pressed.
At this point, the man wore a look of serene longing and said dreamily, “That was the most valuable gift I’ve ever seen. Packed inside, stacked dense and thick, were all property deeds!”
Boom!
The crowd, which hadn’t been shocked by the three-meter tall blood coral or pearls as big as fists, was now absolutely in an uproar.
“Did you see it clearly?”
“Of course, I saw it clearly. Patriarch Chen himself opened it up for everyone to take a look, and guess what those properties were?”
“Where?”
“The third ring road!”
The crowd exchanged glances, some faces full of disbelief.
“Keep dreaming, as if there are that many houses by the third ring! The way you gestured, that would be at least a thousand units!”
“Right, my family lives in the third ring, and properties there are practically priceless!”
