Meng Shaoqing walked to the corner, bent down and took a closer look, and finally shook his head helplessly: "Who would have thought of hiding so much money in the toilet? Even if the house is ransacked, no one will search the toilet!"
"It's also smart!" Su Xubai laughed, "It was also discovered, otherwise these thousands of taels of silver would have been buried in this hut!"
"What's the use of being clever in this kind of thing?" Meng Shaoqing sneered, "Now it's better, even if you die, it won't be their turn to use it!"
While talking, there were several exclamations in front of me, and the next moment, someone shouted: "Go away, go away!"
In an instant, a stench blew in my face along with the breeze.
Chengchun and Hongdou reacted quickly, covering their noses and ran away.
There were still many people searching the entire courtyard, so Cheng Chun walked around. After all, Su Xubai had told her to stay in places with many people, and she was very obedient. She would not go to places with few people, so
Walking there.
Most of Meng Shaoqing's people knew her, so naturally no one would chase her away, and she wouldn't touch her everywhere. She just walked around and looked around until she reached a warehouse near the west wing.
The warehouse was very messy, but there was a very familiar smell of medicinal herbs.
"Hongdou, do you think there is a strange smell in this room?" Chengchun covered his nose. He always felt that the smell was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
Hongdou sniffed, but only smelled a musty smell. Although it looked like an abandoned warehouse, there were a series of things such as beds, wardrobes, tea tables, etc., and it looked more like a room.
Abandoned bedroom.
"Look at this house, a woman must have lived there before!" Hongdou said suddenly.
Chengchun was a little surprised: "Where did you see it?"
"Look at that cabinet. It's all carved with flowers. Most men don't like this kind of cabinet. They think it's petty!" Hongdou said softly, "Look, this room is not big, but the wood used is all high quality. Most of them are
The house where the favored concubine usually lives!"
Cheng Chun was stunned: "The concubine's bedroom is so close to the husband, so she is really favored!"
Just when Cheng Chun was about to leave, two guards suddenly walked in. They were a little surprised when they saw Cheng Chun. When they were about to speak, one of the guards accidentally knocked over a white vase on the side with his sword.
The vase did not break when it fell on the ground. Instead, after rolling a few times, it stood up straight.
Cheng Chun looked at it and couldn't help but find it funny: "Isn't this vase made of iron? Why is it so heavy? It made such a loud sound when it fell to the ground!"
The guard bent down and picked up the vase. It was obviously a bit heavy. It took some effort to pick up the vase: "It doesn't feel like it is made of iron!"
Standing aside, Hongdou saw a scratched corner and pointed to the golden corner: "Madam, look at this, does it look like gold?"
The three people immediately moved over to take a look.
Because the vase was rolling on the ground, a corner was rubbed off at the bottom, and a golden gap was indeed exposed. Chengchun reached out and scraped the body of the vase with her nails, and unexpectedly some powder came off. She put the powder to the tip of her nose and smelled it.
After sniffing, he said: "Go and call General Meng and Mr. Su over!"
"What's wrong?" The guard was confused, "Is it possible that this is really gold?"
"What's exposed in that gap is indeed gold, and the top of this bottle seems to be cinnabar!" Cheng Chun said softly, "Although I don't know what this means, but when I was helping at the drug store, our family
The shopkeeper's wife's gold bracelet turned a little white because it was placed together with cinnabar, so it was finally cleaned in the shop!"
The two guards looked at me, and I looked at you, then looked back at the strange white decorations placed on the shelf, and then hurriedly called the people over.
When Su Xubai and Meng Shaoqing came, they saw Chengchun and Hongdou standing at the door. Su Xubai looked at Chengchun for a long time: "What, you two discovered something incredible again?"
"I think it's really impressive, but I'm just afraid you won't like it!" Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai and said lightly.
Su Xubai didn't feel angry when he heard Chengchun's strange words. He just walked in and said, "What's wrong? What did you find?"
"Mr. Su, look at this vase!" The guard handed Su Xubai the vase that had accidentally broken a hole just now, "It seems to be gold inside. Lady Chun just said that the outside is probably cinnabar!
"
Meng Shaoqing on the side put his hands behind his back and looked at the vase for a long time: "Cinnabar? Shouldn't cinnabar be red?"
"Cinnabar is toxic. If placed together with silverware, it will turn gray-black. But if it is placed together with gold, it will turn white after a while. I feel that someone should be specializing in these goldware.
Apply a certain amount of cinnabar, wait until they turn completely white, and then polish them with a certain process to make these things look like lacquered iron!" Cheng Chun walked to them and said softly.
"How come you know all these things?" Meng Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chun, already a little surprised.
"I helped you find so many old things, can you share some with me?" Cheng Chun looked at Meng Shaoqing and asked with a smile.
Meng Shaoqing smiled, and then raised his eyebrows: "Don't even think about it! These are stolen money and cannot be touched. If you touch it, the whole family might be taken in!"
Although this was a result that Chengchun had known for a long time, it was still somewhat sad to say it out loud: "That's all, I can only watch these gold and silver treasures disappear!"
Su Xubai looked back at Cheng Chun angrily: "Why didn't I see earlier that you are such a money-grubbing guy?"
"Who is not greedy for money!" Cheng Chun snorted, "Ask the people in this room, who would think that there is too much money!"
Su Xubai was too lazy to say anything to Cheng Chun, so he asked people to take out all the utensils and prepare them for the masters who specialized in making these things to see what they were and how much they were worth.
Just as they were taking stock of the suspicious utensils in the house, Cheng Chun suddenly said: "That crazy girl probably lived in this house before!"
When Meng Shaoqing heard what Cheng Chun said, he couldn't help but look at her: "How do you say it?"
"Didn't I say before that this crazy lady would often go through that door to have an affair with Mr. Li?" Cheng Chun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since it's an affair, it's impossible to cross most of the mansion to get there!"
