The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Qingqing had been paying attention to the situation of the Ye family. It was not until dark that he heard the excited voices of Ye Xilin and Mrs. Ye.

Thinking that her mother-in-law's family had gone treasure hunting in the county and would not come back so early, Ye Qingqing specially made a lot of steamed buns in the evening and just took some with her.

Hearing the noise next door, Ye Qingqing hurried over with the buns in hand.

"Mom, grandma, I made big buns stuffed with eggs and leeks." Ye Qingqing's voice reached the evangelist family before she even entered the room.

Ye Mu walked out quickly and took the basket from Ye Qingqing's hand. "I knew you, a little money-crazy guy, would definitely come over."

Entering the house, Ye Qingqing lowered her voice and pulled Ye Mu excitedly and asked:

"How's it going? Did you find any treasure?"

Mother Ye did not hide anything from her daughter, and said cheerfully:

"They are all small items, incomparable to those in the old house. Putting them together, they can probably be sold for 20 taels of silver. This guy Xilin is awesome. He even found a 20 taels of silver note."

"That's pretty awesome. It adds up to 40 taels of silver." Ye Qingqing was very excited, feeling like she was on a treasure hunt.

"The house cost a total of 331 taels of silver including the deed and tax. Including the things I found today, it only cost 280 taels of silver."

Thinking about it this way, this house is quite a bargain.

"With me taking action, it will definitely be great."

Ye Xilin took two big, fat, white buns, holding his head high, with a proud expression on his face that suggested he wanted to be beaten.

Ye Qingqing's hands were itchy and he couldn't help but flick Ye Xilin's forehead, "Have you finished searching all the places today? Do you want to go there tomorrow?"

Ye Mu said happily while eating steamed buns:

"I have to go there tomorrow. Today I only found the main house, kitchen and bathroom, and I haven't found the side rooms, front and back yards."

Ye Xilin was very excited, "Who said there aren't good things where the servants live? I don't think so."

"Then you might as well stay in that house for one night to save yourself from running back and forth." Ye Qingqing had the same idea as Ye Xilin.

"Sister, you are smart. I told you to stay there for the night, but my mother and grandma disagreed."

Mother Ye saw that the two siblings were about to get into Qian's eyes, so she poked their foreheads and said:

"Xiao Tongsheng moved to Qingfeng Academy two years ago. No one has lived in that house for two years, and there are no quilts on the bed. How can anyone live there."

"That's right, the house has been bought, so we can't run away." Mrs. Ye, who was counting things on the side, was very calm.

Or is her old lady smart? Even a year's rent is not worth the things she found today.

It would be a huge loss if we rented it out directly.

"Maybe there will be surprises in the wing room and the yard." Ye Qingqing's eyes were sparkling.

Old Mrs. Ye said calmly: "No need to be anxious, it will be over tomorrow."

"Grandma, what do you think if I buy a big house?"

Mrs. Ye saw through Ye Qingqing's little thoughts at a glance.

"That house is really nice, but it's a bit expensive. But if you just want to hunt for treasures inside, you're putting the cart before the horse."

Mr. Ye, who was silent on the side, also spoke:

"The reason why we can find so many good things in the old house is because people died outside and no one knows what's inside, so it's an advantage for us."

"What I found in the small house this time were just some small items that were left out during the move. They are not worth much."

Mrs. Ye was worried that Ye Qingqing was only thinking about treasure hunting, so she analyzed it carefully for her.

"That big house was sealed by the government. There may be some valuables inside that were not taken away in time."

"But the government must have searched it before sealing it. The good things have been looted by the government people long ago."

"And that house is just a place where young masters from wealthy families study and live. There probably aren't many things hidden in it."

Ye Mu was more cautious and directly disagreed.

"That house is not cheap. You should always keep some money on hand. It won't be long before you get married. If you are pregnant with a child, you will have to raise the child in the future."

Ye Qingqing held Ye Mu's arm, "I still have some money on hand, and the embroidery I made can be finished in the next two days."

"Honestly, I want to go treasure hunting, but it's also true that I want to buy a house. After all, the house is really good."

"I'm not greedy either. If I find a few dozen taels of silver and add in the mahogany furniture in the house, wouldn't it be equivalent to reducing the price of the house to 400 taels?"

Ye Qingqing had her own little calculation. She had gotten a big advantage by buying such a nice house for 400 taels.

Seeing that the attitudes of Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye had softened a little, Ye Qingqing said again:

"The main reason is that there are really few houses over there at the academy. My husband went to the Han Family Dental Clinic in the county today and asked about it. There are no other suitable houses."

"Dad and husband-in-law are quite satisfied with the house, and I think it's pretty good too. I want to go and have a look tomorrow."

Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Qingqing seriously and said, "That house is really good. If you really want to buy it, it's no problem."

"But if you just want to go in and look for something, you're putting the cart before the horse. There may not necessarily be something inside."

But in the end he said: "We can take a look tomorrow. You can discuss it with Shanzi and Jing Xiaozi when you go back. Don't rush this matter, take your time."

When Ye Qingqing went back, he told Tang Xiaojing and his son that they wanted to visit the house again.

Neither father nor son had any objections. After asking about it, they found that there was indeed no other more suitable house. If it were any later, this house would have been bought.

The next day, when the sky was still gray, the two families set out for the county together.

When they reached the gate of the city, the two families left separately. The Ye family was anxious to go to the small house to hunt for treasure.

The three people from the Tang family went to Guanya to find Lin Kang to see the house.

Lin Kang was particularly happy to see the three Tang family members coming back to see him. He said with a smile, "I knew you would come back. That house is really nice."

"That house is quite popular. Two groups of people went to see it yesterday, but they are still considering it. If you wait a little longer, the house will probably be sold."

Tang Xiaojing interrupted Lin Kang's enthusiastic sales pitch, "Uncle Lin, we want to visit that house again."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there with the key."

The second time he came here, Ye Qingqing paid special attention to see if there were any good things left in the house.

I didn't pay much attention last time, but now I look closely, and it's exactly what Mr. Ye said.

Before the government seized it, they confiscated all the valuable antiques and valuable ornaments, leaving the shelves empty.

The main rooms are all occupied by people, and the tables, chairs, wardrobes, chests of drawers, dressing tables and large beds are still there.

Ye Qingqing also deliberately opened the dressing table. The dressing tables in several rooms were basically empty, leaving only some used rouge and gouache and worthless silk flowers.

The clothes in the closet are all still there, and they all look to be made of precious silk, but they have been rummaged around in a mess, and it seems that they have been searched by the government.

That is to say, those mahogany furniture were too big and difficult to carry, so they escaped disaster.

The remaining pots, pans, pans and other small items were left behind because the officials looked down upon them.

However, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. Large and valuable items were taken away, but many small items were left behind.

There are some small ornaments in the inconspicuous corners of the hall, and there are still many books left on the bookshelves in the study room.

Ye Qingqing looked at the books on the bookshelf, his eyes lit up, "There are so many books, these books are the treasures."

Ye Qingqing whispered in Tang Xiaojing's ear:

"Cunning Rabbit Sanku, this house is magnificent, and the people inside must not be short of money. Maybe the treasure hidden secretly is still there."

Hearing what Ye Qingqing said, Tang Xiaojing was also moved.

After looking around, the three of them sat around and discussed for a long time, and finally decided to buy the house.

When Ye Qingqing and the other three left to apply for the house deed, the Ye family not far away was actively searching for treasures.
