The happy little days of the Ye family

When Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan came to the hall, Rhubarb and Xiaohuang were already wolfing down the food under the table.

In front of the two big guys, there is a large bowl each with more than half a bowl of sweet potatoes and two hard-boiled eggs.

Probably because digging in the soil in the morning made me hungry quickly, rhubarb and small yellow ate very quickly.

The fist-sized sweet potatoes had been broken in half by Ye Qingqing in advance. The two big ones took one bite each, and the smaller boiled eggs were swallowed without even chewing.

The two big guys ate more in one meal than the three members of the Tang family. If they hadn't gone up to the mountains to hunt on their own, Ye Qingqing would have been afraid that he wouldn't be able to feed them.

The father and son came to the dining table, where there was a plate of steamed sweet potatoes and a plate of hard-boiled eggs.

Tang Xiaojing held the egg that Ye Qingqing peeled for him in one hand, and took out the jade gourd he just found under the bed to show off with the other hand.

"The last main room is a guest room, and no one lives in it. I only found this jade gourd."

After saying that, he swayed in front of Tang Shan in a coquettish manner.

As for Tang Shan, who found nothing, he was eating sweet potatoes silently on the sidelines. When he saw this, he kicked Tang Xiaojing hard.

Tang Xiaojing was afraid of being beaten, so he silently put away the jade gourd, and then peeled an egg for Tang Shan with a look of shamelessness.

Ye Qingqing happily watched the loving interaction between father and son while eating sweet potatoes.

Ye Qingqing had just eaten a sweet potato. Dahuang and Xiaohuang had already finished their lunch and came over to beg Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing for something to eat, wagging their big tails.

After Da Huang and Xiao Huang ate another small sweet potato, they were sent away by Tang Xiaojing.

After eating and drinking, Dahuang and Xiaohuang came to the backyard. They sniffed left and right in the backyard, and each left a lot of marks to divide their territory.

After dividing the territory, the two big guys started patrolling around the backyard with their heads held high.

The three treasure hunters did not rest after lunch, but went to the side room with great interest to continue their treasure hunt.

In addition to the 6 main rooms, there are 6 side rooms in this house.

There are 6 wing rooms, three of which are occupied by servants, one is a utility room, and two are empty.

The first wing contains a large bed, two small wardrobes, a set of small tables and chairs, and a dressing table.

There were some clothes worn by women on the ground, which looked like they were where the maids lived.

Ye Qingqing picked up the clothes on the ground and looked at them one by one, and suddenly thought of a question.

"Are the maids and servants in the house going to be exiled with the female family members of the dog official? Or will they be sold?"

Tangshan, who was looking through another wardrobe, explained to Ye Qingqing:

"Only the dog official's relatives will be exiled. The maids and servants should be resold."

"But it's better to resell it than to be exiled to a cold and miserable place. If you really want to be exiled, you may not be able to get there alive."

Ye Qingqing also felt that re-selling was better than going into exile. At least his life was saved.

The maid didn't have many clothes. Adding up the ones on the floor and those in the closet, there were only five or six sets of clothes in total.

But after all, she is a maid from a wealthy family. The clothes she wears are made of coarse cotton fabrics, and the style looks relatively unique.

Ye Qingqing saw that the cuffs and collar of the clothes were embroidered with delicate flowers, and there was also a faint scent of incense on the clothes.

Smelling the fragrance on the clothes, Ye Qingqing felt that she didn't look like a serious maid.

There were not many clothes, so Ye Qingqing quickly searched them and found nothing except two fragrant handkerchiefs.

There is also a small drawer with a lock in the closet, but the officer came to search the room before and the lock on it had long been broken.

Ye Qingqing opened the drawer and found that there was nothing inside.

"It's too clean. Did this maid take away all the valuable things?"

Ye Qingqing was not discouraged and went directly into the closet, carefully checking the bottom and gaps.

Ye Qingqing had good eyesight and found a small and cute golden bean in the bottom gap.

"Hahaha, there are still fish that slipped through the net." Ye Qingqing put the golden beans into the jewelry box with a smile.

Tangshan was searching another wardrobe in the house.

There are even fewer clothes in the wardrobe. There are only 4 clothes in total. The styles are relatively ordinary and they are made of fine linen.

The drawer inside the wardrobe has been opened, and there are two ordinary handkerchiefs inside.

Tang Shan picked up the handkerchief, but he didn't expect that there was a small silver hairpin hidden under the handkerchief.

The hairpin was very small. Tangshan weighed it in his hand and found that it only weighed one or two. It was the lightest hairpin Tangshan had ever seen.

There was also a clean quilt in the closet. Tangshan thought that the quilt he sold to the pawn shop yesterday only cost 40 cents per bed.

While Tangshan was searching the closet, he whispered:

"It's better to keep these quilts. The quilts in the cabinet should be clean. It's better than buying new ones. At least it won't cost any money."

In the first few main rooms, Tang Xiaojing immediately searched the dressing table. After entering the house, he habitually searched the dressing table again.

The dressing table in the room is not big, but it also has a bronze mirror inlaid on it, but this bronze mirror is smaller and not as clear.

There are two small drawers inside the dresser.

In the first drawer, there are many half-used rouge gouache, and there are also several exquisite azaleas.

There are a lot of things in the drawer, but they are all worthless things.

Tang Xiaojing stuffed a few silk flowers that could be exchanged for money into the sack, and then opened the second drawer.

The second drawer has fewer things, only a wooden comb and a box of facial polish that is almost bottomed out, and nothing else.

Tang Xiaojing lowered his head and searched under the dressing table again, and finally found a purse in the corner.

The purse looked quite new, but it was so light in his hand that Tang Xiaojing's heart suddenly cooled down.

After opening the purse, Tang Xiaojing found that it was empty, and the embroidery on it was only half done. It was a purse that had not yet been completed.

Tang Xiaojing originally thought that the servants' house would not be searched too thoroughly by the officials, and they should be able to pick up some missing items.

Unexpectedly, these maids took away all the valuable things and left nothing behind.

Ye Qingqing closed the closet door and climbed onto the big bed in the room.

After all, this is a house where servants live. The quilt on the bed is made of ordinary fabric. There is no bedding, only an ordinary bamboo mat.

Ye Qingqing took the quilt and shook it vigorously a few times. When he saw that there was nothing there, he placed it on a chair nearby, and then began to check the bed again.

Ye Qingqing searched and rolled up the bamboo mat while looking at the bed board below, doing three things at once.

When checking the end of the bed, Ye Qingqing picked up a silver earring from the gap on the bed.

Although these earrings are light and flimsy, they are made of silver anyway, so they are worth a hundred or dozens of coins.

Ye Qingqing happily put the earrings into the jewelry box, and then happily got under the bed to continue searching for treasures.
