The happy little days of the Ye family

The dust in the corners is particularly large, and there is a small bulge under the dust under the corners.

Tangshan's eyesight was pretty good, and he could tell at a glance that there was something hidden underneath.

Tangshan excitedly pushed away the dust in the corner and found that it was just a copper plate.

"It's not bad to have a copper coin for the first time. I can buy a big steamed bun at least."

Tangshan picked up the copper plate and wiped it on his body.

The three of them came out of the house and saw three other rooms opposite.

Ye Qingqing remembered that one of the rooms was a utility room, and the other two rooms were empty. There probably wasn't much left.

So the three of them planned to search separately, with each person entering a wing.

Ye Qingqing went to the utility room. It was obvious that the place had been searched by officials. There were only a few broken chairs and two broken vases left in it.

Ye Qingqing first checked the wooden door at the door and saw that there was nothing there, so he started to move the chairs inside and opened them one by one.

The chairs were made of ordinary wood and were not valuable. The only valuable thing was probably the broken vase.

Looking at the two colorful broken vases on the ground, Ye Qingqing felt very sad.

"A good vase was broken like this."

Ye Qingqing put the inspected chair aside, and then dug out a sewing basket in the corner.

Inside were a few pieces of black linen and some ordinary needlework.

There were not many things, but Ye Qingqing saw that he could still use them, so he stuffed the sewing basket into the sack and planned to take it home.

Although the items are ordinary, they are still fine for mending clothes.

Ye Qingqing learned the true story of Mrs. Ye, it was like a goose plucking its hair and an animal leaving its skin.

The rest of the chairs were not valuable, so Ye Qingqing ignored them.

Then Ye Qingqing knocked on the surrounding walls and floors and searched carefully.

This was an ordinary utility room, so naturally there were no hidden compartments, so Ye Qingqing could only come out empty-handed.

Ye Qingqing had just come out of the utility room, and Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing from the two rooms next door also came out one after another.

The two empty wing rooms are the same size, and they are both bare and empty.

The father and son searched for a long time, but finally found nothing and came out empty-handed.

Coming out of the side room, Ye Qingqing was planning to go to the cellar to take a look.

Ye Qingqing suddenly remembered that she had visited the house twice and never saw the cellar. And when they went to the kitchen to search, they didn't see the entrance to the cellar.

"Dad, sir, does this house have a cellar? Why don't I seem to see it?"

Tang Xiaojing thought about it carefully, "It seems that I have never seen the cellar, and I haven't found where the entrance is."

Tangshan took some old clothes that he had dug out from several rooms and said with a smile:

"This house is just a place where the second son of the Guan family studies and lives. There are not many people living there. I guess there is no need for a cellar. Anyway, it is not far from South Street for shopping."

Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing felt that what Tang Shan said made sense, so they stopped worrying about this issue.

When we came out of the wing, the sky suddenly became much darker. It was still afternoon, but it felt like evening.

Tang Shan and Ye Qingqing walked in front with old clothes, while Tang Xiaojing followed behind with dirty clothes in one hand and a dirty quilt in the other.

Tangshan put the old clothes on the bullock cart and looked up at the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds. It felt like it was going to rain heavily at any time. He quickly urged:

"The sky is covered with dark clouds. It's probably going to rain heavily. Let's go back quickly and come back to the yard later. Don't be in a hurry."

The three people quickly locked the doors and windows inside the house, called Dahuang and Xiaohuang, and hurriedly drove the ox cart back.

Before leaving, Ye Qingqing took one more look at the magnificent courtyard and had no choice but to come back next time.

At this time, there were still many old clothes on the oxcart, as well as exquisite double-sided embroidered old screens.

When passing by South Street, Tangshan took another trip to Li's pawnshop with his old clothes and screen.

When the pawn shop owner saw Tang Shan coming with a double-sided embroidered screen and old clothes, he became more and more certain that this man must be the one who bought the Guan family house.

The shopkeeper guessed that Tangshan probably had a lot of good things in his hands, and his attitude was very kind.

The old clothes Tangshan brought over today are not as exquisite and beautiful as yesterday's clothes, and the old clothes worn by the servants have many patches.

A pile of old clothes only cost 200 yuan in total.

As for the double-sided embroidered screen, although the double-sided embroidery on it is indeed exquisite, double-sided embroidery is also very rare.

But the silk on it has turned yellow. The screen is usually placed in the bathroom, and the wooden frame of the screen also has signs of decay.

The screen could not be repaired, and the six double-sided screens were only pawned for a total of 6 taels of silver.

This was because the shopkeeper was determined to make good friends with Tangshan and wanted to get more good things from him, so he gave the high price.

However, Tangshan was very shrewd. He kept pretending to be stupid and shied away, and left as soon as he got the money.

He was not stupid. If he pawned other valuable things here, everyone around him would soon know about it. Their family found a lot of valuable things in the house.

It would be bad if someone wanted to target their home.

When we came out of the pawn shop, the sky was much darker again.

The clothes and screens have been sold, the cart is much lighter, and the big oxen can run even faster.

The big ox pulling the cart probably knew it was going to rain, so he ran faster than usual and returned to Taohua Village in about an hour.

"Rumble...Rumble..."

Before I even entered the door, it started raining heavily like soybeans from the sky. The sound when it fell on the ground was very loud, and it was even more painful when it hit people's bodies.

"Crackling..."

There were heavy and fast raindrops hitting the big ox. Even though the big ox had thick skin and thick flesh, it still hurt a little, so it ran even faster.

After a while, the bullock cart stopped at the door of Tang's house.

Tangshan took out the key and jumped out of the oxcart. Just as he was about to open the door, he found that the door was open.

As soon as the three of them entered the yard, Ye Xilin hurried out of the backyard in the rain.

"Xilin, it's raining heavily, why are you coming here at this time?" Ye Qingqing was a little surprised to see Ye Xilin at this time.

Ye Xilin ran directly to Ye Qingqing without wearing a raincoat.

"I came here to feed the chickens and cows. It wasn't raining when I came here, but it suddenly started raining heavily." After saying this, he winked at Ye Qingqing.

This was asking Ye Qingqing about his treasure hunt today. Ye Qingqing smiled and nodded towards Ye Xilin.

When Ye Xilin saw Ye Qingqing nodding, and the Tang family father and son were cheerful, he knew that they must have found a lot of good things in the house.

Ye Xilin looked up and saw that the rain had not only not become lighter, but also tended to get heavier.

Thinking that Ye's house wasn't far away anyway, he simply ran home with his head in his hands. Ye Qingqing didn't listen to his offer to get him a raincoat.

No matter how fast Ye Xilin ran with his long legs, he still turned into a drowned rat when he returned home.

After changing clothes, he was caught by Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye and scolded him.

After the scolding, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at Ye Xilin again with gossipy faces.

"How is the situation today at your sister's side?"

Just when Ye Xilin wanted to show off, Mrs. Ye glared at her and had to say obediently:

"My sister didn't tell me the specifics, but she was laughing so hard she couldn't close her mouth. She must have found a lot of good things."

"And that house was sealed. There must be more good things in it than the house we bought."

"That house is so expensive. Your sister probably doesn't have much money on hand. If you find something good, you can at least get some money back." Ye Mu looked worried.

Ye Xilin put his arm around Ye Mu's shoulders and comforted him with a smile:

"Our small house can find things worth dozens of taels. I estimate that the Tang family's big house can have 100 taels."

Ye Xilin felt very regretful for not participating in the Tang family's treasure hunt.
