The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Xilin first checked the outside of the box and saw that the wooden boards outside were very smooth and there were no splicing areas.

After pounding it carefully, I didn't notice any difference, so I felt a little confused about where to start.

However, the box was heavy in his hand, heavier than an ordinary jewelry box. Like Ye Qingqing, he firmly believed that there was something good hidden inside.

After opening the box and seeing the two lotus flowers on it, he showed a determined smile.

"These two lotus flowers, at first glance, reveal a hidden secret."

Ye Qingqing nodded in agreement, "I thought so too, but after searching several times, I couldn't find anything special. Please take a look and see what's going on."

The jewelry box that was found in the old house was also the secret compartment that this boy discovered. Coupled with the good luck in the past, Ye Qingqing had an inexplicable trust in him.

The lotus was carved from a single piece of inlaid wood. Seeing that there were no joints, Ye Xilin broke off each petal without giving up, but found nothing.

Then he grabbed the whole lotus and twisted it hard, but unfortunately the lotus in his hand still didn't move at all.

Seeing that the stamens of the lotus were very delicate and beautiful, Ye Xilin reached in and pressed them a few times. Unexpectedly, the stamen in the center was pressed down.

Immediately afterwards, the whole lotus actually fell down, and a small hole appeared on the box.

"There's a secret compartment!! You're still awesome, hurry up and see what's inside."

Ye Qingqing was so excited that she patted Ye Xilin's shoulder hard several times, even her fingers turned red without noticing.

At this time, Ye Xilin didn't care whether it hurt or not, and quickly put his finger into the hidden compartment.

The hidden compartment is not big, so I can check it all in one go.

"Strange, why is there nothing?" Ye Xilin couldn't believe it and reached in again to touch, and found that it was still empty.

Ye Qingqing didn't believe it, so he snatched the box away, then put his index finger into the small layer of the wooden board and touched it. He was disappointed to find that it was indeed empty.

"Sister, there is another one. Let me try to remove the lotus next to it."

"Yes, yes, there is another one. How did you get it off?"

Ye Xilin took the box over, and just like before, he pressed the stamens in the middle a few times, and the lotus on the right also fell out.

Unfortunately, the small mezzanine inside was still empty, and the two found nothing.

"Oh, my happiness was in vain."

With such a secretive appearance, Ye Qingqing thought he had some priceless treasure, but he didn't expect that both mezzanines were empty.

Unwilling to give up, Ye Xilin buckled the bronze mirror in the middle again, but to his surprise, he actually let him buckle it off.

After snapping the mirror off, the two found a note stuck on the back.

Ye Qingqing was immediately delighted, "Hahaha, it must be a large amount of money if it is hidden so secretly."

"Even if it's not a banknote, it's probably still a valuable recipe that will make you rich!" Ye Xilin was also excited and carefully took off the note.

The two siblings thought it was quite beautiful, but after opening the note, they found that it was just a love poem.

"In the sky, I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth, I wish to be a twig. It's so disgusting. Could this be the love poem the original owner of the box received when he pledged his love?"

Ye Qingqing held the note with disappointment on his face. I thought it was a bank note, but it turned out to be just a disgusting love poem.

Thinking that after several years of marriage, Tang Xiaojing had never sent him a love poem, he became even more angry.

Ye Xilin curled his lips, and the corners of his mouth that were originally raised have been completely pulled down:

"That's right, even if it's just a recipe for eating, it's actually a useless love poem."

"This box is so heavy, there's no reason why it doesn't have anything?" Ye Xilin didn't give up and knocked on the bottom of the box again.

Ye Qingqing, who was next to him, cheered him up, "Your brother-in-law and I think the same way. This box is so heavy, I always feel like there is something hidden."

Unfortunately, Ye Xilin checked several times and found nothing except the two empty small mezzanines.

Ye Xilin handed the box back to Ye Qingqing and muttered unwillingly:

"I think the wood itself is relatively heavy, and there are two large lotus flowers and a bronze mirror, which makes it heavier."

"The two hidden compartments of the lotus are empty. Even if there were other hidden compartments, they would have been taken away long ago."

Ye Qingqing felt very unhappy when he thought about the two empty secret cells, as if he had missed something valuable.

However, she also felt that what her brother said was quite reasonable. If there were other hidden compartments, the contents must have been taken away long ago.

When the two came out of the house, they saw three little guys playing around a small pile of mud under the eaves. Their bodies and faces were covered in mud, turning into three mud monkeys.

The tops of Yangyang and Yuanbao's heads were as messy as chicken coops, and the two little chirps on their sister's head were half scattered.

"These three little guys can't fight, right?" Ye Qingqing muttered softly.

The little guys didn't realize they were in trouble at all, but they were all happy.

Seeing the two people coming over, they all showed a few white teeth.

Ye Xilin looked at the two children covered in mud and couldn't help but feel a headache. He would definitely be scolded by his wife when he went back.

Ye Xilin has been naughty since he was a child, and now he has given birth to two little guys who are even more naughty than him. Ye's father and Ye's mother often laugh at him. This is retribution for making him a bad boy when he was a child.

The brother and sister didn't know what Ye Xilin was thinking. They saw a small puddle outside and wanted to play in the water.

But as soon as they took two steps, the two of them were lifted into the air by Ye Xilin.

"You two still want to play in the water? Don't even think about it." Ye Xilin angrily carried the two children home.

Seeing his angry look, Ye Qingqing couldn't help laughing:

"Hahaha, you have today too."

Ye Qingqing was laughing at Ye Xilin. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that Yangyang had walked to the small puddle next to him and was happily rolling in the water.

"Tang Muyang"

Ye Qingqing was so angry that he quickly caught the kid back, changed clothes and made ginger soup.

At night, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing studied the mysterious jewelry box again, but unfortunately they found nothing new after checking it several times.

This jewelry box was used by others, and Ye Qingqing didn't want to keep it for himself.

As for using it to hide things, that's even more impossible. It's too big and takes up space in a box, and Ye Qingqing is afraid of being taken away if it's placed outside.

In the end, Tang Xiaojing was asked to take it to a pawn shop in the county and sell it.

Although this is a bit old, it is made of sandalwood anyway, and it sold for five taels of silver.

With these five taels of silver, Ye Qingqing felt much better, and once again sighed in his heart that this house was indeed worth buying.
