The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Qingqing carefully checked the clothes on the floor and in the closet, but found nothing except the laxatives he found just now.

In the middle of the wardrobe, there was a small drawer with a lock, but the lock on the drawer had been broken, so Ye Qingqing opened the drawer easily.

There are three 3% new embroidered handkerchiefs in the drawer. These are made of fine silk, and the embroidery on them is very good.

Ye Qingqing had seen this kind of embroidered handkerchief at the Li Family Embroidery Workshop. An embroidered handkerchief sold for 200 Wen.

"Such an expensive embroidered handkerchief, the pawn shop should collect it, right?"

It would be a pity to lose such a beautiful embroidered handkerchief. Ye Qingqing stuffed all the embroidered handkerchiefs in the drawer into a sack, regardless of whether the pawn shop would accept them or not.

After taking out all the embroidered handkerchiefs, Ye Qingqing found a pair of silver earrings at the bottom of the drawer.

The style of these silver earrings is very simple, with only a small plum blossom on it, which is very different from the gorgeous and exquisite jewelry that Tang Xiaojing found.

These earrings look simple and elegant, and Ye Qingqing thinks they are quite suitable for wearing in the village.

Ye Qingqing happily put the earrings into the jewelry box given by Tang Xiaojing. At this time, there was already a lot of jewelry in the box.

"Earrings, earrings, hairpins, now all that's really missing is a bracelet."

Ye Qingqing thought that this house was occupied by his concubine, and the people in the house must not be short of money. There might actually be bracelets in the house, so he would be more motivated to find things.

Ye Qingqing didn't miss every nook and cranny in the closet, and simply got into it.

However, despite Ye Qingqing's efforts, he only found a pair of silver earrings in the end.

Coming out of the closet, Ye Qingqing ducked under the big bed next to her.

This room is obviously cleaner and tidier than the two rooms just now. Even the corner under the bed is spotless.

Ye Qingqing was lying under the bed, tapping here and there on the bed board, when suddenly he felt a bed board making a different sound.

"Finally found."

Ye Qingqing felt happy and excitedly knocked two more times, feeling that this board was looser than other boards.

Ye Qingqing pulled the edge of the bed board and used both hands to remove the loose board.

After the board was removed, an envelope fell from the gap.

It was too dark under the bed, so Ye Qingqing climbed out from under the bed with the envelope.

Ye Qingqing originally thought that what was inside was a banknote. After opening it happily, he didn't expect that there was only a letter inside.

Ye Qingqing knew most of the words in it, and even after guessing, Ye Qingqing pieced together the whole story.

This is a letter of pledge to quit drug addiction. This concubine’s brother became addicted to gambling. Not only did he lose all the family’s money, he also owed a huge amount of foreign debt.

In order to pay off the gambling debt of the concubine's brother, the concubine's family sold her to Guan Ruiwen as a concubine.

Judging from the guarantee letter, the family's financial situation should have been good, which shows that this gambling is really harmful.

No wonder Ye Qingqing felt that this concubine was not as valuable as the other concubine.

I originally thought that this concubine was not favored, but now it seems that I should save the money and use it to support the gambling brother.

In fact, this concubine is too stupid. She has such a gambling brother and subsidizes the money to her parents' family. This is a bottomless pit.

Ye Qingqing also sympathized with her very much, "She is also a miserable person. She was sold as a concubine because her brother was a bad gambler. Now she has to be exiled to a cold and miserable place by her husband's family."

"It's no wonder that the village chief and the clan elders hate gambling people so much. They should punish these people."

Ye Qingqing felt a little scared when she thought that Ye Donglin was almost deceived into gambling.

It was so dangerous, my family was almost destroyed.

Ye Qingqing casually threw the letter into the sack, then got back under the bed to continue hunting for treasure.

Ye Qingqing groped around under the bed, and after a while, he found something wrapped in cloth in the innermost corner of the bed.

The things were wrapped quite tightly. Ye Qingqing opened three pieces of cloth before he saw the things inside.

There are three 5-tael silver ingots inside, as well as a small and exquisite silver bracelet.

The surface of this silver bracelet has become somewhat dull, and it looks like it must have been aged for a while.

Moreover, this bracelet is very light and only weighs one or two pounds, which is a bit out of place for this wealthy house.

Ye Qingqing guessed that this bracelet should have been brought by this concubine when she got married.

"No matter what its origin is, it's now an advantage for me. With this bracelet, it just makes a complete set of jewelry."

Ye Qingqing looked at the exquisite jewelry in the jewelry box, and the smile on his face became even brighter. I really bought this house right.

Tang Xiaojing wanted to find another bracelet for Ye Qingqing, so he went straight to the dressing table immediately.

There was nothing in the first drawer except two travel books.

Although Tang Xiaojing had been studying for several years, he often dozed off when he was in school, and the words he had learned had long been returned to his master.

He opened the travel journal, and he didn't recognize most of the words in it. After rummaging through it and finding nothing in it, he threw the book directly into the sack.

Tang Xiaojing murmured with a smile: "Old books in the county cost thirty or fifty cents each. This book looks quite new. I guess I can get it in exchange for dozens of cents."

The second box only had a box of face cream and a box of mouth cream, and they were almost all gone. There was also a mahogany comb.

Tang Xiaojing thought it was quite strange. It was very different from the other concubine's dressing table.

There are very few things on this dressing table, even ordinary rouge and gouache.

If Tang Xiaojing saw the letter in Ye Qingqing's hand, he would know that this woman often had to subsidize her mother-in-law's brother who was a gambler, so her life was naturally quite tight.

As for Tangshan, they just came down from the rafters empty-handed.

There were very few things in this room, so the three of them quickly searched it.

Moreover, only Ye Qingqing found 15 taels of silver, a pair of earrings and a silver bracelet. The father and son found nothing.

The three of them came out of the house. Tangshan looked at the sky outside and reminded:

"It's getting late now. Let's move all the clothes and bedding in the hall to the oxcart. I'm afraid the pawn shop will be closed if it's too late."

There were quite a lot of clothes and bedding in the three rooms, and they were piled up like a small mountain.

Ye Qingqing and the three of them worked together to move everything onto the oxcart, filling the oxcart to the brim.

Ye Qingqing could only squeeze into the carriage, so the father and son could only sit outside and catch the train.

After the three of them got on the bullock cart, they later realized that Xiao Huang was missing.

Ye Qingqing patted his head and said, "Oh no, Xiao Huang has no place to sit."

At this time, Xiao Huang suddenly jumped out with something in his mouth.

"Xiao Huang is really capable. Did you find anything good?"

Tangshan jumped out of the bullock cart excitedly and took out the thing from Xiao Huang's mouth with a smile on his face. Only then did he realize that it was an exquisite purse.
