Chapter 148: Going to Yanjing for the Antique Exhibition

~8 min read 1,449 words

Bai Wei was so moved she could not speak.

For this dress alone, Xiao Mama must have worked day and night for many days to finish it.

Now that Xiao Mama has been restored to the rank of consort and is very favored in the palace, with her status, she has no need to make clothes herself; she only needs to give orders to the Embroidery Maids.

Yet Xiao Mama not only helped her make the dress and embroider it in person, but also risked the crime of extermination of the nine clans to get her a Dragon Robe for the exhibition.

This shows her deep sincerity.

In the chest, besides the Dragon Robe and the red dress made by Xiao Mama, there were also many exquisite embroideries from the palace.

Bai Wei let out a sigh of relief.

With these embroideries, she could completely outshine the Roth Family at the Antique Exhibition.

She took action immediately, organized all the antiques in her possession, and then selected some to take to the Antique Exhibition.

"Xiao Moting, please thank Xiao Mama for me."

"I will be going to Yanjing very soon, taking these embroideries and the antiques you sent to participate in the Antique Exhibition."

"If there are any other situations, I will come to find you again."

Bai Wei wrote a list of the antiques for the exhibition and sent it to the Museum Curator.

Soon, she received a call from the Museum Curator.

In the receiver, the Museum Curator's voice was extremely excited.

"Bai Wei, these Daliang antiques you brought out are truly too useful."

"I really didn't expect you to have so many precious national-treasure-level antiques in your hands; they are more numerous and even more precious than the antiques the Roth Family brought out."

"This time, whether Huaxia can hold its head high in the world depends on you."

Bai Wei was also very happy.

Daliang has countless precious cultures, all of which are treasures of history, and she also hopes to present the civilization of ancient Daliang to the eyes of the world.

The Museum Curator's voice came through.

"Tomorrow, I will have someone send over the plane ticket to Yanjing, and at that time, the superiors will arrange for soldiers to transport this batch of antiques to Yanjing."

"Take a plane?" Bai Wei came back to her senses.

The venue for the Antique Exhibition is in Yanjing.

If she takes a plane to Yanjing, what will happen to the wardrobe?

She can't just check it as luggage and ship the wardrobe to Yanjing, right?

She wouldn't dare to check it; if the wardrobe got bumped or scratched, or disappeared, she would never be able to contact Xiao Moting again.

Furthermore, with so many precious antiques, she wouldn't feel at ease letting others escort them.

"Museum Curator, I will drive a Recreational Vehicle to Yanjing myself." Bai Wei said decisively.

The Museum Curator was stunned, "You are driving to Yanjing? This is no short distance; you should think it over."

"I have thought it over." Bai Wei's attitude was very firm, "I will also transport the antiques myself."

It will take her several days to go to Yanjing; she cannot leave the wardrobe at the Farm, nor can she entrust it to others for shipping, so it is most convenient to keep it by her side.

"This..." The Museum Curator hesitated, "You are driving to Yanjing and carrying so many priceless antiques; I'm afraid there might be an accident on the road."

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents."

Bai Wei had already thought it through.

It's just a few chests of antiques; she will send the antiques to Daliang first, then drive to Yanjing.

Once she arrives in Yanjing, she will have Xiao Moting transmit the antiques over.

This is much safer than any kind of bodyguard.

The Museum Curator could not sway Bai Wei and finally had to give in.

But he was still worried and insisted on sending people to escort her.

Bai Wei could only agree; in any case, the people escorting her would not be in the Recreational Vehicle and could not affect her.

Driving to Yanjing is a journey of several days.

She must set off tomorrow.

Bai Wei stood up and walked into the courtyard.

Currently, the Aunt's family is still locked in jail and cannot cause trouble; by the time they are released, she will have already returned from Yanjing.

But necessary security measures still need to be done well.

"Chen Ming!"

Bai Wei waved her hand and called over Chen Ming, who was playing with the little red Alpine Horse.

"Sister Bai Wei, what is it?" Chen Ming asked, scratching his head.

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Chen Ming, I am going away for about a week. Stay here for this week and look after the Farm well; I will give you a raise."

"Oh, I understand."

Bai Wei nodded; she felt very at ease with Chen Ming.

Ever since Grandma's family came to the Farm to make trouble and the Aunt climbed the wall to peek, she had contacted a security company to install electric fences and razor wire on the walls.

The razor wire is made of coils of steel wire with countless sharp little blades on it; as long as anyone tries to climb the wall to peek, they will be cut until they are dripping with blood.

Besides this, Bai Wei also added thirty surveillance cameras around the Farm.

She turned on the electric fence, checked the monitors, and then went to the security room at the entrance of the Farm.

The security room was built by a construction company she hired.

Previously, the Museum Curator bought Alpine Horses from her, but because he still needed to build stables, he temporarily boarded the horses at her place.

To protect these extinct Alpine Horses, he also sent four bodyguards to guard the Farm twenty-four hours a day.

Later, after the Museum Curator took the horses away, Bai Wei contacted the bodyguard company and kept these bodyguards on.

These few bodyguards were all retired soldiers who had worked for her for a period of time; their character and abilities were both quite good.

Therefore, Bai Wei simply hired them and built a security room, letting them guard the Farm just as they had before.

The security room was a small building covering an area of fifty square meters.

The first floor was the security guard post, and the second floor was a place for the security guards to rest and live; it was even equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator... the conditions were quite good.

Li Guohai was standing in the security guard post, and as soon as he saw Bai Wei, he immediately stood at attention.

Bai Wei hurriedly waved her hand with a smile, "Brother Li, it's nothing. I'm just going out for a few days, so I'll have to trouble you all to watch over the Farm these next few days."

"Very well, Miss Bai, rest assured and leave it to me." Li Guohai nodded, "If anything comes up, I will call you."

Just at this moment, Dahuang suddenly darted out, barking "Woof woof" and wagging his tail incessantly.

Bai Wei squatted down and stroked Dahuang's head.

"Dahuang, while I go to Yanjing, you must also look after the house well."

"Woof!" Dahuang barked twice, looking full of spirit.

"When I get back, I'll treat you to roast chicken."

"Woof woof!"

Dahuang was even happier, jumping around non-stop and even baring his teeth, indicating that he would look after the house well.

Early the next morning.

Bai Wei locked the antiques in her home into a safe.

Then, she pulled the six boxes she had packed onto the Recreational Vehicle.

"Xiao Moting, you help me keep these safe. When I arrive in Yanjing, you can send them back to me."

"Shennü Daren, Xiao Moting obeys your command."

Bai Wei selected two boxes, which were filled with national treasure-level antiques.

It was very convenient for her to transport antiques to Daliang, but it would take a fair amount of effort for Xiao Moting to transport them back; she was afraid Xiao Moting wouldn't be able to send them back, so she kept four boxes behind.

She focused her mind and transported the two boxes filled with antiques to Daliang.

In an instant, the two large boxes vanished into thin air.

Just as Bai Wei was about to drive, she suddenly saw a group of people walking into the Farm.

This group of people wore military green uniforms, stood with straight posture, were full of energy, and walked in unison, marching in step.
