The happy little days of the Ye family

At this time, Mr. Ye no longer cared about bricks or slates. He took Ye Qingqing's small hoe and started digging in the ground with Mrs. Ye.

Ye Qingqing had his hoe taken away by Mr. Ye, so he had to rummage in corners such as window sills and door cracks where no one was paying attention.

The doors and windows in the house were rotten and riddled with insects.

Ye Qingqing had a good eye and actually found a gold bead the size of a fingernail in the crack of the window sill. It seemed that it had accidentally fallen into the crack.

Ye Qingqing looked proud, holding a small bead as a treasure to show to Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye.

Old Mrs. Ye took the shining golden beads from Ye Qingqing's hand and smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

"It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If you search this poor house of a wealthy family carefully, you can find a lot of good things."

Ye Qingqing also said cheerfully: "Yes, this wealthy family wears gold and silver. Even if there are no hidden treasures, the small things that occasionally drop and are still worth a few dollars."

When Mr. Ye came here, he didn't believe that he could find good things in this shabby house. Now that he sees the golden gourd, gold hairpin and gold beads, he is more positive than Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing.

Urging Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing to find things quickly.

"Stop chatting. Let's go look for other rooms and courtyards later. I heard that aunts and maids from wealthy families wear gold and silver. Maybe you can find good things in other rooms."

Old Mrs. Ye quickly put away the golden beads, picked up the hoe and continued digging in the ground.

It's a pity that after turning the whole house upside down, I couldn't find a second ceramic jar.

Mr. Ye raised his head and looked at the beautifully carved beams, thinking that there might be something hidden on them.

Mr. Ye gave the hoe back to Ye Qingqing and moved a table and a chair to the room next door.

Mr. Ye moved the table under the beam, then placed the only intact chair in the house on the table and stood on the chair carefully.

Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing also gathered around, looking at Mr. Ye expectantly.

Mr. Ye's guess was correct. He found a wooden box on the beam. The box was very simple. As soon as Mr. Ye picked up the wooden box, he knew there was something inside, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Mr. Ye opened the box and found a ginseng inside. However, the ginseng was not very big. Mr. Ye estimated that it was about 30 to [-] years old.

But this small ginseng tree is enough to make the grandparents and grandchildren happy. This is ginseng, and ginseng in drug stores is very expensive.

After jumping off the table, Mr. Ye looked at the beams above the roof, "The beams in the hall and the beams in this house must be made of good wood."

"This house has been here for so many years, and most of the house has collapsed. The two beams are still in good condition, and the carvings on them are still intact."

Mr. Ye smiled and said: "Keep these two beams. They will be used when the house is rebuilt in a few years. These two beams will be used as the beams in the hall. They look grand." "

Old Mrs. Ye also said happily: "The door outside can still be used, don't waste it, save whatever you can."

Ye Qingqing anxiously went to the next room and interrupted Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye.

"Grandpa and grandma, stop chatting, let's go to the next room quickly." After saying that, he couldn't wait to carry the small hoe to a side room.

The roof of the wing room has collapsed, and the scattered bricks have been put aside by Mr. Ye. The ground is empty, which is convenient for Ye Qingqing to dig.

The three people's luck seemed to have run out. They dug 10 rooms in a row and found nothing.

In the end, there were only two wing rooms left, one of which had completely collapsed, and the room was filled with scattered green bricks. Mr. Ye quickly stepped forward and started to clean it up quickly.

Mrs. Ye took Ye Qingqing to the relatively intact wing next to her.

The dresser, table, cabinet and big bed in the room are all still there, but they are all shabby and old, and the room is full of dust and cobwebs.

The roof was also broken in several places, and the sunlight filtered in through the broken roof, making the house look particularly bright.

Ye Qingqing opened the drawer of the dressing table. There were several jewelry boxes in the drawer, but unfortunately they were all empty.

However, these jewelry boxes were made of good wood and had exquisite and beautiful carvings on them. Ye Qingqing planned to take them home and give a share to Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye. They were also good for storing jewelry.

In the storybook, all the ladies of the first house lived in the main house. With so many jewelry boxes, Ye Qingqing guessed that this house might have been occupied by a favored concubine.

Ye Qingqing was petite in stature, but very courageous. She got directly under the big bed.

Ye Qingqing knocked at the bottom of the bed, and finally found a mezzanine in the innermost part of the big bed. There was a small bundle in the mezzanine.

Ye Qingqing got out from under the bed with a small bundle, waved to Old Mrs. Ye who was still digging in the ground with a smile, and then waved the small bundle in her hand proudly to Old Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye dropped the hoe and quickly came to Ye Qingqing. Without even blinking, they carefully opened the small bundle.

The small baggage had two layers, the outer layer was ordinary fine linen, and the inner layer was very soft muslin.

Opening the fine cotton cloth, there is a very delicate and beautiful gold hairpin and an equally delicate silver hairpin inside the baggage.

In addition to these two hairpins, there were also several gold beads the size of fingernails, the same ones Ye Qingqing found in the cracks of the window sill.

Not long after, Mrs. Ye also dug out a ceramic jar in the ground.

Old Mrs. Ye took out the clay pot. It was quite heavy. Old Mrs. Ye shook it gently and found something inside, which felt like a silver ingot.

Old Mrs. Ye's mouth was almost split to the base of her ears. Under Ye Qingqing's watchful eyes, she poured the contents of the pottery jar onto the table. There were actually two 10-tael silver ingots and a few broken pieces of silver inside.

Mrs. Ye counted it and found a total of 26 taels of silver.

Mrs. Ye was ecstatic in her heart. My dear, 26 taels of silver, plus the three gold hairpins, one silver hairpin, a gold gourd, a few gold beads, and a ginseng that I just found are all enough to buy. Leave this house.

Old Mrs. Ye whispered to Ye Qingqing, "Wealth is invisible. No one can tell anything about the things found in the house today, including Dong Lin, Xi Lin and Jing Xiaozi."

"I will definitely not say anything to the Tang family, but can't the eldest brother and the younger brother also say it?"

"This is a windfall. The fewer people know about it, the better. If someone leaks it, it will be difficult for the previous owner to find out about this money."

Old Mrs. Ye was not so kind as to return the house to its original owner. The house was bought by their family, and the things in the house belonged to their family.

The original owner sold the house and did not take away the items. He probably did not know the existence of these items.

Ye Qingqing, like Mrs. Ye, is both a money-lover. After knowing the powerful connections inside, he quickly promised: "I won't tell anyone, not even my father or my mother."

Mrs. Ye smiled and said: "Your father and your mother can still talk, but other than these two people, no one else can."

When Mr. Ye heard Ye Qingqing and Mrs. Ye laughing continuously in the room next door, he guessed that he must have dug up something good again, and he didn't have the intention to clean it up. He quickly dropped the bricks in his hand and ran over happily.

Mrs. Ye handed the small bundle she had packed to Mr. Ye.

Mr. Ye opened it and took a look. He saw the gold hairpin, silver hairpin and silver ingot inside. He immediately handed the small bundle to Mrs. Ye and asked her to put it away quickly.
