The happy little days of the Ye family

The box in my hand is only as wide as my palm, but slightly longer than my palm. It feels heavy in my hand.

This weight made Tangshan feel happy and made a bold guess.

There is a small rusty lock on the box.

However, the lock was not big, so Tangshan easily pulled it open with a little force, and then eagerly lifted the top cover.

When he opened the box, Tangshan was so excited that he almost forgot to breathe. However, the contents inside did not disappoint him. They were all five taels of silver ingots.

These silver ingots were arranged in two rows, with a total of 8 ingots, which together amounted to 40 taels of silver.

Seeing so many silver ingots, Tangshan was so excited that his hands were shaking, and he couldn't help but giggle.

These silver ingots look like they are newly made, and the sparkling silver is hard to put down.

After looking at it for a few more times, Tangshan reluctantly closed the box.

Hearing laughter from above their heads, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing looked up, only to find that Tang Shan was holding a small box and giggling.

Tang Xiaojing suddenly became excited, "Dad, did you find something good?"

Tangshan didn't know what to say, he just smiled mysteriously, and then threw down the small box in his hand.

"Go on."

Tang Xiaojing was very skilled and raised his hand to catch this mysterious little box.

"It's so heavy, I think it's either gold or silver."

Ye Qingqing came around and stared curiously at the small box in his hand. He felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help but urge:

"Ms. sir, please open it quickly and take a look."

The young couple looked at the eight silver ingots in the box and were so excited that their palms sweated.

Ye Qingqing immediately counted the silver with a smile on his face, "I'm getting rich, there are so many silver ingots, two each... eight, a total of 40 taels."

Tang Xiaojing was also full of joy and excitement, and gave a thumbs up to Tangshan above.

"Older gingers are more spicy."

While the two were talking, Tang Shan searched the beams again, and when he found nothing, he jumped down from the beams.

"Isn't it strange? Who would hide so many silver ingots in a hall where people come and go?" Tang Xiaojing looked at these brand-new silver ingots and was really confused.

Tangshan felt that it was very normal and not strange at all.

"I said this man is very smart. The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one thought that there is a box of silver ingots hidden in the hall where people come and go."

Ye Qingqing often counts silver. As soon as he took the small box, he felt something was wrong with the weight. It was obviously heavier than 40 taels of silver.

"There's probably something inside."

Ye Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly took out all the silver ingots in the box one by one.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the box, two long and thin gold bars were found.

The gold bar was about the same size as Ye Qingqing's index finger. The two bars together weighed about two taels.

Another 20 taels of income.

The three of them looked at the two shining gold bars, their eyes sparkling.

Especially Tang Xiaojing, who still found nothing, felt like a fire was burning in his heart. He stopped eating the buns and immediately started searching around the hall.

So the three of them searched the hall again with great interest.

But good things didn't happen again, and the three of them found nothing.

"Let's go check out other houses." Ye Qingqing said and walked ahead carrying the sack.

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing entered the main room closest to the hall.

Tangshan didn't want to stay with the inseparable young couple, so he silently went to a room next door.

Opening the door, Ye Qingqing saw several exquisite and gorgeous clothes on the ground. It looked like the house where the young woman lived.

In the corner, there is a black robe worn by a middle-aged man.

The furniture in the house was ordinary, and it didn't look like the house where the head of the family lived. Ye Qingqing guessed that it was probably the house where the concubine lived.

The room was a bit messy, and there were several colorful bellybands beside the door. Tang Xiaojing's face turned red when he saw him coming in from behind.

He didn't dare to look any further, so he hurried inside and walked directly to the big bed at the end.

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing was a little embarrassed, Ye Qingqing simply picked up the clothes on the ground first.

The bellybands on the floor looked like they were newly made, and the fabrics were made of very expensive silk. It was a pity to lose them.

Ye Qingqing stuffed everything into the sack, thinking that the pawn shop might take it.

Not to mention, these bellybands were bold in style, well-made, and pretty good-looking. Ye Qingqing blushed after taking a few glances at them.

The clothes on the floor are either silk or patterned fabrics from Shu. The workmanship and style are very good. At first glance, she looks like a very favored concubine.

Ye Qingqing was very happy. It's good to be favored. The more favored you are, the richer you are. Maybe there are good things in the house.

Ye Qingqing checked all the clothes on the ground, but found nothing valuable, so he casually put them into the sack.

Then she came to the large wardrobe next to the door.

There were a lot of clothes in the wardrobe, most of which were women's fine clothes, and there were also a few middle-aged men's clothes, but they were messily turned over.

Ye Qingqing checked every piece of clothing very patiently. Unfortunately, after checking for a long time, he still found nothing.

After clearing out all the items in the closet, Ye Qingqing patted around inside the closet, trying to find any hidden compartments where things could be hidden.

The secret compartment was not found, but she found a golden bean in the crevice of the corner.

The golden bean is only the size of a fingernail, but it looks round and round, very small and cute.

Ye Qingqing held it in his hand and weighed it. It probably weighed two cents, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Not bad, not bad. It's enough for my family's expenses for half a month."

Seeing a chair next to it, Ye Qingqing pulled it over and stood up to look at the top of the wardrobe.

It was covered with dust, and his nose felt itchy when he breathed in. Ye Qingqing took a quick look at it and hurried down.

Based on my many years of experience in hiding money, there is a high probability that there will be money hidden under the wardrobe and under the bed.

Ye Qingqing called Tang Xiaojing over, and the two of them moved the closet away simply and roughly, then squatted on the ground and started banging.

Tang Xiaojing thought that he was too stupid to get under the bed just now, so he could just move the bed.

However, he was afraid that his wife would laugh at him, and he was too embarrassed to say it, so he silently went back and moved the big bed away.

After the big bed was moved, the floor below was exposed. The sun was good today and the room was bright. It was obvious that one of the floors had been disturbed.

Tang Xiaojing was so excited that he quickly took a small hoe and carefully pried up the stone slab.

After the bluestone slab was picked up, there were indeed signs of turning on the ground below.

"Qingqing, come here quickly, there is something hidden on the floor here."

"Hey, come on, come on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingqing appeared in front of him.
