The happy little days of the Ye family

The light under the desk was relatively dim, and Ye Qingqing didn't notice any difference at first.

I was about to squat down to search, but I didn't expect to see a hidden compartment that had been opened next to the table leg.

The hidden grid was square and square, only as wide as Ye Qingqing's two palms, but it was very deep inside. Ye Qingqing couldn't see clearly what was at the bottom of the hidden grid even when he got closer.

The light under the table was a little dark, so Ye Qingqing moved the desk a little further to expose the hidden compartment.

The secret compartment was as deep as half of Ye Qingqing's arm. It was a little dark inside, but it could be seen that the things inside had been taken away long ago.

Ye Qingqing put her little hand into the secret compartment and groped around, and soon found two small round objects in the corner.

After taking the thing out, I found two pearls the size of mung beans. Both pearls were light purple and looked very round and noble.

"So lovely."

Although these two pearls are not as big as the pink pearl, they look more beautiful in color. They would definitely look great if they were made into earrings or jewelry.

But Ye Qingqing has no intention of making it into jewelry.

Pearls are no better than gold and silver. If they are not stored properly, they will turn yellow quickly. They must be stored very carefully, otherwise they will be ruined if they are scratched.

Ye Qingqing didn't want to take the trouble to keep these delicate pearls.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing's own dowry and betrothal gift included a lot of jewelry. Plus the set of jewelry he found yesterday, it was impossible to wear it.

"Such beautiful pearls, and they happen to be a pair, they will definitely fetch a good price."

Ye Qingqing happily took out the handkerchief, wrapped the two small pearls, and put them in the jewelry box.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing rummaged through the eight large bookshelves one by one, but only found a writing brush and an ink stick on the floor.

Both father and son were rough people and did not understand these things for reading, so they threw them into the sack casually.

Then the father and son moved the bookshelves together again, and then knocked on the surrounding walls to find hidden compartments.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaojing actually found a secret grid.

On the bookshelf directly in front of the desk and on the wall behind it, there is a place that makes a slightly different sound when knocked.

The sound sounds only slightly different, and if you don't listen carefully, you won't notice it at all.

Tang Xiaojing immediately became excited, so nervous that his palms were sweating.

"Dad, come here quickly, there is a hidden compartment over here."

Ye Qingqing was rummaging through the books on the bookshelf seriously, and Tang Xiaojing did not disturb her.

The location of the secret grid was found, but Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan could not find the mechanism to open it, and there seemed to be no gaps in the wall.

The father and son got together and studied how to open this hidden compartment.

The father and son started searching around from the hidden compartment.

In less than a moment, Tangshan touched a slightly raised place under a corner. Tangshan tried to press it, but he didn't expect that the secret compartment really opened.

After hearing the sound of the secret compartment opening, the father and son immediately ran over excitedly.

The secret compartment looks quite big, but it is empty and contains nothing.

The father and son were happy again.

The three of them came out of the study room with their books in their hands. Just before they reached the hall, they heard the excited howls of Da Huang and Xiao Huang.

"Ooooooooooo!"

"Ooooooooooo!"

As soon as the three of them put the books in their hands on the table, Da Huang and Xiao Huang jumped in front and back.

Rhubarb and Xiaohuang's bodies and front feet were dirty and covered with mud.

Ye Qingqing was just about to step forward and wipe the two dirty dogs, but unexpectedly, Dahuang and Xiaohuang each spit out a purse that could no longer be seen on the ground.

"Good guy, where did you find this purse?"

Ye Qingqing didn't mind being dirty and immediately picked up the two purses. The purse is heavy in my hand, I guess there are a lot of good things in it.

Ye Qingqing quickly opened the two purses and poured the contents on the table.

A heavier purse was filled with small pieces of broken silver. There were 8 pieces of broken silver of one tael in total, for a total of 8 taels of silver.

The contents of the other lighter purse are more messy, but they are all good things.

There were two golden beans, a golden gourd and a pair of silver earrings in the purse, which looked like gifts from the master.

Ye Qingqing took a closer look at the two purses and found that the purses were made by different people. The two purses should have been hidden by different people.

Ye Qing held two empty wallets and waved them in front of Dahuang and Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang was smarter and immediately bit into the more finely crafted wallet.

Then they took the three of them to a hidden corner of the backyard, where there happened to be a deep pit that had just been dug.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing continued digging in the hole happily for a while. When they saw that there was nothing, they took out another purse and asked Dahuang to lead the way.

Da Huang took the purse in his mouth and took the three of them to the corner next to the kitchen. There was a hole on the ground that was bigger than before.

Da Huang put his purse in the pit and wagged his big tail triumphantly.

Tang Xiaojing patted Dahuang's big furry head and said with a smile: "The ones hidden by the kitchen are probably hidden by the servants."

"We've all come to the kitchen. Why don't we go to the kitchen and search it? There might be some money hidden in there."

When Ye Qingqing visited the house before, he remembered that the kitchen had not been turned over very much, and many things were there.

The three of them took Da Huang and Xiao Huang into the kitchen. The kitchen is also very large, as big as a wing room.

At a glance, the kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen utensils, including the large iron pot, clay pots for making soup, and other pots and pans.

As soon as he entered the door, there were several handfuls of firewood on his left hand side. Tang Xiaojing was strong enough to lift the firewood one by one.

Under the firewood in the corner, Tang Xiaojing found a small gray cloth bag.

Tang Xiaojing took out the cloth bag and opened it and found that it was filled with all kinds of dry goods.

Ye Qingqing came closer and his eyes lit up when he saw so many delicious foods in the cloth bag.

"Tremella fungus, red dates, bacon, sausage, dried abalone, dried sea fish and scallops are all good things."

"I guess some greedy cook hid it to give us an advantage!" Ye Qingqing happily packed the contents of the cloth bag and prepared to take it home.

Tangshan continued walking in, and there was a large and small pottery jar in the corner.

After opening the wooden lid above, Tangshan was pleasantly surprised to find that it was full of grains, and they were all fine grains.

The large pottery jar contains half a jar of refined rice, and the other smaller jar is filled with white flour.

Tangshan happily moved the two pottery jars to the door of the kitchen. These were all grains and he had to take them away no matter what.

Ye Qingqing came to the stove and looked up to see several strips of fat and thin bacon hanging above. Each piece weighed three to four kilograms and smelled particularly delicious.

There are 4 iron pots of different sizes on the stove, and they all look brand new.

"Hahaha, it seems that the kitchen has not been searched by the officials. These bacon and the big iron pot are worth a lot of money."

There was a wooden shelf next to the stove. Ye Qingqing saw that there were a lot of things on it and immediately ran over.

The top two layers are filled with dry goods, including red dates, white fungus, dried mushrooms, dried seafood and a few sausages that smell particularly fragrant.

At the bottom of the wooden shelf, there are some dried vegetables and half a basket of eggs.

No silver was found, but the three of them found a lot of food and gained a lot.

The three of them happily carried grain, dry goods, bacon and sausages, all edible things, onto the oxcart.

These things are enough for the Tang family to eat for two months.

As for the pots and pans in the kitchen, the three of them unanimously decided to keep them in the kitchen. The house was fully stocked and they could be rented at a good price.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

The three of them were moving things, and Da Huang and Xiao Huang screamed excitedly again.
