The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 1161 An unexpected surprise (3)

After putting the things away, Ye Qingqing looked at Tang Xiaojing with crooked eyebrows, "How are you doing there?"

"Don't talk about it. The house I went to was the house where the servants lived. It was dirty and messy. It took me a while to clean it up and I could get back to work."

Tang Xiaojing has always loved cleanliness. When he saw the dirty clothes and socks all over the house, he couldn't bear it. He didn't bother to hunt for treasures anymore and just cleaned inside.

"It's just been cleaned now. Come over to my place and take a look."

Thinking that his wife always had better financial luck, Tang Xiaojing simply invited her to go treasure hunting together.

The room next door was obviously the same size as the guest room just now, but with four small beds placed in it, it suddenly became crowded.

Moreover, in addition to the bed, there are two wardrobes and a small table in the room, which would probably not be able to accommodate two more people.

A small house has to accommodate four people. They have not enjoyed the blessings, and now they have to be exiled to a bitter cold place. Ye Qingqing feels that these servants are really miserable.

They are all miserable people who cannot help themselves.

The house has been cleaned by Tang Xiaojing, and it looks okay, but there is still a faint strange smell.

Tang Xiaojing had just checked the four small beds and two wardrobes. Apart from the extremely tattered clothes and quilts, he only found 6 copper coins.

He took it out from the pocket of a piece of clothing. He probably forgot about these few coins.

Tang Xiaojing originally found 6 copper coins, which he thought was pretty good. After all, it was for free, so he shouldn't be too greedy.

It wasn't until he saw Ye Qingqing's shining gold bars and the huge silver ingot that he lost his composure at all.

Tang Xiaojing felt sour and planned to dig up the house three feet and turn it upside down.

The young couple moved all the beds, wardrobes and tables in the house aside, and then banged on the floor and walls.

Not to mention, Tang Xiaojing found a slightly loose bluestone slab in a corner.

"Hahaha, I finally found it. Qingqing, you are lucky. No wonder dad always says you are lucky to have a husband."

"No, although my luck is not as outrageous as Xilin's, it is still very good. You must treat me well in the future."

Ye Qingqing put her hands on her hips, looking cute and proud, and her fair and round face looked very cute.

"Yes, yes, how dare I treat you badly?"

Tang Xiaojing happily took the small medicine hoe from the door and pried open the stone slab in a few clicks.

But the strange thing is that there are no traces of digging in the soil below, and it looks like very solid yellow mud.

Ye Qingqing touched the yellow mud underneath, "It's strange, this soil doesn't look like it has been dug up, and I don't know if there is anything underneath."

Tang Xiaojing also felt strange, but he kept digging deeper.

Soon, he dug up an old-looking wooden box with a small lock on it.

The little lock was covered with rust, and it looked like it had been buried inside for several years.

Tang Xiaojing thought that there were several people living in this house, and they must not have been buried in it now.

It's hard to say whether it was buried by the servants who first lived here or by the owner of the house.

The lock on it was rusty. Ye Qingqing tried it with earrings for a long time, but still couldn't open it.

In the end, Tang Xiaojing couldn't stand it anymore, so he violently pulled it off a few times.

After opening the box, the two were surprised to find that there were half a box of copper plates and a lot of broken silver inside.

Needless to say, such a piecemeal amount of money must have been buried by a servant. But who buried the money is not important to Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing.

At this time, they were busy counting money.

There were a lot of copper plates in the box, and it took the two of them a while to count them. The total was 8 taels, 573 coins.

Although it is not as good as the ones Ye Qingqing found just now, it is already very good. Tang Xiaojin was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a straight line, and the corners of his mouth raised crazily.

Ye Qingqing grabbed a handful of copper plates inside the box, then released his hand from mid-air, followed by a pleasant tinkling sound.

At this time, Tangshan pushed in the door dragging two large bags of things.

"Oh, so much money."

When Tang Xiaojing was cleaning just now, he had been paying attention to Tangshan in the next room.

Seeing that it was quiet all the time next door, he knew that his father must have found nothing, so he started to show off with a stern expression:

"It's not much, just 8 taels and 573 Wen." Tang Xiaojing's tone was calm, but his words were quite irritating both inside and outside.

Tangshan kicked him without thinking, but Tang Xiaojing dodged him with a smile.

Ye Qingqing didn't pay attention to the movement in Tangshan. When he saw him taking two big bags of things, he said excitedly:

"There are so many things. Dad, your harvest is pretty good."

Tangshan waved his hands calmly on his face, "It looks like there are a lot of things. They are all old quilts and clothes. They are not worth much."

The house he just went to was where the maids lived. It also had four small beds like here.

There was nothing valuable, but there were quite a lot of clothes and bedding.

However, the things the maid used were definitely not that good. The clothes were washed and turned white, so they were probably not worth much.

Yesterday, I suddenly found more than 100 taels. Tangshan felt that his good luck had run out.

But it's quite normal when you think about it. Although the people in the house have been exiled, they will definitely take the money they worked hard to save before leaving.

Even if there was no time to take it away, the government officials would search it again, and there would definitely not be much valuable left.

Tangshan was just thinking that there were not many valuable things in this room, but unexpectedly Ye Qingqing took out the silver and gold bars he had just found.

Ye Qingqing said to the father and son with a gossipy face:

"I found this on the beam of the guest room. This is the same as the silver found in the hall and the largest main room. I think it must be Mr. Li's private money hidden away."

Tang Xiaojing nodded in agreement, and he also thought it was member Li who hid it.

Tangshan didn't care at all who hid the money. Looking at the shining gold bars, he just wanted to take back what he had just said. There were still good things in this house.

The three of them worked hard all morning and finally searched the eight rooms in the house. But compared to yesterday, the harvest was not that good.

The three of them came to the hall, one person gnawed on a meat bun, and began to take stock of today's harvest.

Tangshan: A lot of worthless clothes and bedding.

Tang Xiaojing: 8 taels, 579 coins, a pile of worthless clothes and bedding.

Ye Qingqing: Guzheng, a bronze mirror half the height of a person, a jade pendant, 30 taels of silver, and two gold bars of one or two weight.

Ye Qingqing's harvest was quite good, and she was quite satisfied with this morning's treasure hunting trip.

Although the father and son didn't find anything, the three of them together had a pretty good harvest.

"Eat quickly, there's still a kitchen and a front and back yard." Ye Qingqing urged the two of them vaguely with her mouth full of meat buns.

"Slow down, slow down, it's still early, don't be in a hurry." Tang Xiaojing was afraid that she would choke, so he quickly handed over the water.
