The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 624 Tang Family Treasure Hunt 3

The oil paper in his hand was larger than the banknote just now, and it was heavier in his hand. Ye Qingqing was quite surprised.

"When I was looking at the clothes just now, why didn't I notice such a big oil paper? I was still too careless."

Ye Qingqing planned to check the clothes again later, maybe there would be something to gain.

Ye Qingqing was about to open the greased paper when he felt a slight bulge in the middle, which didn't look like a bank note.

"There seems to be something wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing with puzzled faces.

Ye Qingqing didn't say anything. He lowered his head and carefully opened the oil paper. After opening it, he found that there was a small package of things wrapped in paper inside.

When the paper is opened, there is a little white powder inside.

"What is this? Is it poison?"

Ye Qingqing placed the bag of powder in his hand on the table and moved it back.

Tang Xiaojing hurried forward, picked up the small packet of white powder on the table and examined it carefully.

"This powder has no smell, but the paper wrapped in the powder smells familiar?"

There was an almost non-existent smell on the paper. It smelled familiar, but it was so light that Tang Xiaojing couldn't remember where he had smelled it.

Tangshan said about the information he had inquired about, "I heard that the person living in this house is Guan Ruiwen, the second son of the dog official named Guan."

"I bought the house the year before last. After renovating it, I moved here at the beginning of last year."

"I heard that Guan Ruiwen is not very old, but he lives a very luxurious life and is extremely lustful. He came to the academy to study, and he brought two concubines and several beautiful maids with him."

"But I have inquired carefully. Guan Ruiwen has lived in this house for more than a year, and there has been no murder during this period."

"Guan Ruiwen, the second young master of the Guan family, why do you sound familiar?" Tang Xiaojing scratched his chin and thought carefully.

"I remembered that this man is a regular customer of Wang's Pharmacy. He often buys medicinal wine with special effects from Shopkeeper Wang."

"No wonder the smell of the paper on this powder is so familiar. It's the medicinal smell of the pharmacy. The stuff wrapped here should be the medicinal powder made by shopkeeper Wang for fun."

"The medicinal powder used to enhance pleasure, isn't that an aphrodisiac?" Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

After knowing that it was not poison, Ye Qingqing was no longer afraid, and moved closer to Tang Xiaojing and looked at the powder in his hand with interest.

"It's medicinal wine, and it's an aphrodisiac. How weak is this second master?"

Tangshan on the side frowned and said: "This amusing medicinal powder is probably used by concubines to fight for favor. The back house of this wealthy family is in chaos."

"Oh, it's such a waste of fun. I thought it was just a bank note."

Ye Qingqing was not interested in what the medicinal powder was for. He squatted on the ground and picked up the clothes he had thrown away before and checked them again.

"The pharmacy is missing such a rich scapegoat. Shopkeeper Wang may be upset."

At first glance, Guan Ruiwen was not short of money. Tang Xiaojing felt sorry for Shopkeeper Wang.

Tang Xiaojing rewrapped the powder and put it into the sack, planning to throw it away when he left later.

Holding the empty sack, Tang Xiaojing came to the dressing table.

There is a half-person-high bronze mirror on the dressing table. The figures in the bronze mirror are very clear. It is not common to see such a large and clear bronze mirror. The cost of this dressing table is not cheap.

"This second young master is indeed extravagant and generous to his concubine."

There was nothing on the dressing table, so Tang Xiaojing directly opened the large drawer under the dressing table.

There was a jewelry box inside the drawer, but it was empty when opened.

Tang Xiaojing picked up the jewelry box. This jewelry box was quite beautiful and the style was novel. It could be seen that it should be a popular style in the county recently.

Tang Xiaojing thought Qingqing would like it and planned to take it back and give it to the little girl as jewelry.

Tang Xiaojing took the jewelry box in his hand and carefully groped around the thicker bottom. When he saw that there was no hidden compartment, he put it on the table.

In addition to the jewelry box, there are several exquisite silk flowers in the drawer.

Tang Xiaojing often buys lotus flowers for Ye Qingqing, and he can tell at a glance that this is a new type of lotus flower that has become popular in the county.

However, Juanhua was no more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry, so she was kept by the officials.

Tang Xiaojing took out some azaleas inside. Unexpectedly, there was a silver earring hidden under the azaleas.

"Finally found something decent."

Looking at the exquisite silver earrings on his hand, Tang Xiaojing finally felt proud.

The style of these silver earrings is somewhat similar to the gold earrings just now, with several budding flower buds carved and lifelike hanging from the thin silver wire.

It's just that without the ruby ​​embellishment, it doesn't look so graceful and luxurious, but more compact and exquisite.

When the wind blows, the flowers on the earrings collide with each other and make a crisp sound, and they are swaying very beautifully.

Tang Xiaojing looked at the earring with only one earring and said with a pity on his face:

"It's a pity that they are not a pair. If there are two earrings, Qingqing can play with them. The little girl loves beauty, so she will definitely like such beautiful earrings."

This single earring cannot be taken out, it can only be melted and replaced with other jewelry.

Tang Xiaojing took the earring and weighed it in his hand. It weighed about 5 coins.

The price of the silver used in these silver earrings is not high, but the craftsmanship is not simple. The cost lies in the craftsmanship, so these earrings were certainly not cheap when purchased.

But if it were melted into silver, it wouldn't be worth much.

Tang Xiaojing put the earrings into the jewelry box, and put all the new azaleas into the sack.

This silk flower is quite new, maybe the pawn shop will accept it.

"Maybe the other earring is still in this room." Tang Xiaojing muttered quietly, wanting to find the other earring and give it to Ye Qingqing.

Tang Xiaojing continued to fumble around in the drawer with great interest, but except for the things he just took out, he found nothing else in the drawer.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiaojing opened the second drawer. Inside were things for women to dress up, including various rouges and gouache.

Tang Xiaojing often buys face and hand grease for Ye Qingqing, and he is familiar with these. He can tell at a glance that they are high-quality products from Hangzhou.

Naturally, I can’t take the used ones, but there is still a box of facial grease and hand grease in the drawer that have not been used.

Tang Xiaojing put new and brand-new things in the big sack. Don't waste them. The new ones can still be used.

After checking both drawers, Tang Xiaojing pulled out the drawer with force.

Then on the innermost back of the second drawer, I found some traces of isinglass.

It seems that it was hidden here with something on it before, but unfortunately it has been taken away now.

Tangshan had found a hidden grid in the cave before. At this time, he was banging on the wall and floor, looking for the hidden grid, but unfortunately his hands were red from knocking and still found nothing.

The room was almost turned upside down by the three of them, but they still couldn't find another gold earring.

Tangshan thought that the earrings fell on the carpet in the living room. It was most likely that the woman accidentally dropped them when she ran away. The other one should be on the woman's body.

Ye Qingqing searched for his clothes again, but found nothing, so he ducked under the big bed again.

In fact, Tangshan had already searched on the bed and under the bed just now, but Ye Qingqing hadn't looked for it himself yet. He always felt that there was something hidden inside, waiting for her to find it.

Ye Qingqing was petite and flexibly knocked around under the bed.
