The happy little days of the Ye family

The small wild ginseng tree at the bottom is easy to identify. Tang Xiaojing could tell at a glance that it was about 20 years old.

The most popular item sold at Wang's Pharmacy on weekdays is this year's wild ginseng, which has good medicinal effects and the price is not too high.

The medicinal effect of the small wild ginseng in the box is well preserved, and the surrounding roots are also intact. If it were taken to the Wang Family Pharmacy, it could be sold for at least 26 taels of silver.

Xiao Jing held the large wild ginseng in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was a full third larger than the wild ginseng tree that had been there for more than 30 years, and it had more roots.

You can tell at a glance that it is the best wild ginseng.

Such a large wild ginseng must be at least 50 years old.

I heard shopkeeper Wang say before that 50-year-old wild ginseng can be sold for 80 taels of silver.

Tang Shan came back from putting down the carpet and was shocked when he saw the giant wild ginseng in his son's hand.

"What a big wild ginseng. This house is really worth buying. Together, these things can almost buy half of the house."

Tang Shan looked at such a big wild ginseng and was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Such a big wild ginseng is not common. Otherwise, don't sell it. Keep it at home for housekeeping, in case anything happens and it can save your life."

People are always afraid of death. Tangshan is living a happy life now, so naturally he wants to live longer.

If you have such a precious tree at home, you will feel a lot more at ease.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Tangshan happily, "Then keep it. We'll keep the big wild ginseng, and we'll sell the small one."

Ye Qingqing had no objection. Wild ginseng was a good thing, so it was good to keep it.

Tangshan was completely attracted by the huge wild ginseng in his son's hand, but he didn't realize that there was a small one in the box.

Seeing the small ginseng in Ye Qingqing's hand, Tangshan almost smiled crookedly. "I was really lucky today. I got two wild ginseng trees at once."

"There is also a wild ginseng tree at home that you bought from a mountain farmer before. It seems to be about 20 years old. I will sell this small one. Anyway, there are two wild ginseng trees, one big and one small."

Tang Xiaojing put the two wild ginseng trees back into the box, looked at the wooden box in his hand carefully, and said with a smile:

"This wooden box is also a good thing. It can well preserve the medicinal effects of wild ginseng."

Ye Qingqing carefully placed the wooden box containing wild ginseng into the sack, and then excitedly urged Tang Xiaojing to continue looking for something on the beam.

"Mr. Sir, you can also go up and take a look at the beams on the other side. Maybe there will be a surprise."

Tang Xiaojing had this intention. Just as he was about to go up to show off his skills and find more good things, a figure passed by in front of him.

When Tang Xiaojing reacted, Tang Shan on the side had already taken the lead and climbed onto the table.

Tangshan stood on the table, used both hands to climb directly onto the beams of the roof.

Tang Shan sat on the beam, looked at Tang Xiaojing condescendingly, and teased:

"You can't stand on high places. Let me do the treasure hunting."

Tang Xiaojing had already reached the table, but he didn't expect that his father would get there first.

Tang Xiaojing had a dirty look on his face and hesitated to speak, but he still didn't dare to say it.

He had no choice but to follow Ye Qingqing to search other parts of the house.

Ye Qingqing had already searched for the wardrobe, big bed, dressing table and table, so he took Tang Xiaojing and knocked around on the floor.

Ye Qingqing used to hide silver in the ground at Ye's house and was very experienced. He soon found a stone slab with signs of being dug beside the bed.

"Hahaha, the treasure hidden in the ground is suitable for me." Ye Qingqing said proudly.

Tang Xiaojing on the side happily went to the door and brought in the small medicine hoe.

The two of them pried open the stone slab together. Ye Qingqing thought there was something hidden in the ground, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden compartment underneath.

The hidden compartment is not very big but very deep, as deep as a bucket, which is larger than the two hidden compartments of the Tang family combined.

It's a pity that the two of them had a joyful time in vain, there was nothing inside.

Ye Qingqing had to sigh: "These officials from the Yamen searched so carefully."

"People often seal up houses. Practice makes perfect. I guess they are all good at finding things." What I found today was an unexpected surprise, and Tang Xiaojing was satisfied.

"This kid Xilin is also very good at finding things. I guess he can go in and do this." Ye Qingqing thought about it, and suddenly thought of Ye Xilin.

Tang Xiaojing smiled and said, "But the Ye family's pigs can't live without him."

"Hahaha, this is it too."

The two of them checked the surrounding walls and stone slabs, but could not find the second secret compartment. As for the secret room, it was even more missing.

At this time, Tangshan also jumped down from the beam.

"Did you gain anything?" Ye Qingqing looked at Tangshan expectantly.

Tangshan shook his head, "Nothing."

The three of them carried their sacks again and prepared to go to the next room to continue their treasure hunt.

When I walked to the door, I found Xiao Huang sleeping soundly beside the door, even snoring.

"Well, little Huang, I asked you to come here to hunt for treasures, but you are actually lazy and sleeping here."

Tang Xiaojing slapped Xiao Huang's butt with his hand, which suddenly woke up Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang opened his eyes. The whole dog was in a daze, looking at Tang Xiaojing in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"What are you looking at? Get to work quickly." Tang Xiaojing patted Xiao Huang's big butt again.

Then he was kicked in the butt by Tang Shan, who was on the side and couldn't stand it.

"You are really promising, even dogs bully you."

Tang Xiaojing rubbed his butt and said with a grin. "I'm just teasing it."

Ye Qingqing, who had already walked quickly to the front, said, "Haha, Xiao Huang doesn't want to talk to you at all."

"Nonsense, Xiao Huang likes me the most."

Tang Xiaojing pressed Xiao Huang's big head and rubbed it desperately for a few more times. Finally, Xiao Huang walked away impatiently.

Tang Xiaojing touched his nose awkwardly, and then found that Tang Shan and Ye Qingqing had already left to hunt for treasure, so he quickly followed them into the house next to them.

The room next to it was also the main room. It was similar in layout to the first room. The floor was also covered with gorgeous clothes worn by women. It seemed like it was the place where another concubine lived.

Ye Qingqing looked at the clothes on the ground. Although they were very beautiful, they were all made of silk and patterned fabrics.

But the silk fabric used in the clothes is not as good as the clothes in the other room, and the embroidery on the clothes is not as good as the ones in the first room.

Ye Qingqing guessed that the concubine living here was not as favored as the other concubine.

But no matter how unfavored she is, she is still richer than her. Any one of these clothes on the floor costs several taels of silver.

Ye Qingqing picked up the clothes on the ground one by one and carefully searched for any money or banknotes hidden inside.

After rummaging through, Ye Qingqing found a small packet of medicinal powder in the pocket of a piece of clothing.

Ye Qingqing thought they were the medicinal powders he had found before, so he handed them to Tang Xiaojing for him to dispose of.

Tang Xiaojing picked up the small medicine bag and felt that the taste was a little different from the previous ones. And the paper outside doesn't look like the kind of paper used in Wang's Pharmacy.

"This is not the fun-enhancing powder made by Shopkeeper Wang."

Ye Qingqing, who had already left, ran back after hearing Tang Xiaojing's words and looked at him with a gossipy face:

"What kind of medicine is this? Is it poison?"

Tang Xiaojing quickly opened the powder and smelled it carefully, "It seems to be an ordinary laxative."

Ye Qingqing suddenly said: "I understand, this is for fighting for favor, and the people in the house want to drug another concubine."

"Maybe."

Tang Xiaojing was not interested in this medicinal powder, but treasure hunting was more important.
