Chapter 136 Another Discovery
"You, what are you doing?" Ye Mingzhu's eyes were full of surprise.
"I think there's something in the stove." Jiang Hongyu didn't turn around, and his voice was a little muffled.
Ye Mingzhu walked forward and looked inside. Could it be that the real treasure was in the stove?
She was filled with curiosity, so she squatted down and put her head into the stove, but it was too dark inside and she couldn't see clearly.
"Be careful, it's dirty here." Jiang Hongyu supported her head with his arm, looked up at her, and turned back to pick out the stove ash.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Jiang Hongyu, who usually looked as clean as a nobleman, but now had black streaks on his face and dust on his head. She felt that he was particularly down-to-earth and couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Hongyu didn't care about her. He had already touched a different place on the stove. He stood up and took the pot down. He broke off a piece of soil inside and took out a small box the size of a palm.
Ye Mingzhu's eyes widened. There was actually something in the stove.
Jiang Hongyu handed her the small box and started smashing the stove again.
Ye Mingzhu watched him smash everything inside the stove and find eight small boxes. Her expression was blank.
Although she hadn't seen what was in the box yet, as she touched the gold-carved box, she had a hunch that the things in the box must be very valuable, and her heart suddenly started beating violently.
Jiang Hongyu carefully checked the stove again, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he smile: "I didn't expect there were really treasures in this house."
Ye Mingzhu felt that it was not her good luck, but Jiang Hongyu's good luck.
"How did you know there was something in the stove?"
Ye Mingzhu couldn't help asking.
"The stove here is bigger than the average stove. I was trying to boil water just now, but when the fire started, the stove chamber wasn't very big, and the pot here can be easily removed."
Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Mingzhu with a hint of annoyance in his eyes after he finished speaking: "Oh, I forgot to boil water."
"It's time to boil water. Look at your face." Ye Mingzhu pointed at his face and smiled from ear to ear.
Jiang Hongyu wiped it with the back of his hand, and the dust on the back of his hand rubbed onto his face, making it even darker.
"Okay, stop rubbing it. It's getting darker." Ye Mingzhu took Jiang Hongyu's hand and looked at another stove: "Is there anything else on this stove?"
Jiang Hongyu also looked around at the stove next to him. It was about the same size as the stove he had just disassembled. Fortunately, the kitchen here was big enough and the two stoves were next to each other, so it didn't seem so crowded.
"Or, let's boil a pot of water before taking it apart. Otherwise, we won't have hot water to wash tonight." Jiang Hongyu had a hunch that there was something in this stove.
It is easy to take apart but difficult to restore. Ye Mingzhu needs to soak her feet in hot water now, but as for him, he just needs to wipe it with water.
The two of them patiently boiled a large pot of hot water. Jiang Hongyu scooped the hot water into the wooden basin and said, "Mingzhu, just soak your feet here."
Ye Mingzhu took another wooden basin and asked Jiang Hongyu to scoop some hot water and put it aside.
"Go ahead, I'm here with you."
She was in no mood to wash her feet now, so she decided to smash the stove as soon as possible so that both of them would feel at ease.
Jiang Hongyu understood what she meant, poured another half bucket of cold water into the pot, and waited for the pot to cool down before taking it off the pot with force.
Because the fire had just been lit and the stove was still quite hot, I poured some cold water into it.
Ye Mingzhu came over to take a look and she noticed that the stove chamber here was relatively thick. If she hadn't taken the pot off, she wouldn't have noticed this.
With the experience just now, Jiang Hongyu began to carefully knock on the inside of the stove.
With the blessing of the God of Luck, six small brocade boxes were smashed out this time, which were slightly larger than the previous boxes.
Ye Mingzhu looked at these brocade boxes, gave a thumbs up, and gave Jiang Hongyu a big thumbs up. Let’s not talk about the things inside, just look at the quantity, sixteen brocade boxes, it’s sent.
Jiang Hongyu understood what Ye Mingzhu meant, and his face turned red, which looked a little funny with the black on his face.
"Why don't you wash your face first, and then we can go into the house to look at these boxes." Ye Mingzhu suggested.
Jiang Hongyu came back to his senses and glanced at the wooden basin that was no longer steaming: "You haven't soaked your feet yet."
Ye Mingzhu was about to hold her forehead in her hands. It was already this late, and who would still think about soaking their feet after seeing so many brocade boxes?
"Okay, you wash your face and I'll wash my feet, and then we'll go into the house to look at the box." After Ye Mingzhu finished the assignment, she quickly went over to soak her feet in the water, washed them, and wiped them, focusing on speed.
Jiang Hongyu watched her movements, heaved a sigh of helplessness, and washed his face carefully with hot water. His attitude was much more serious than Ye Mingzhu's.
Ye Mingzhu found an unused basket in the kitchen, put more than a dozen brocade boxes in it, and waited for Jiang Hongyu beside it.
Jiang Hongyu had no choice but to wipe his face faster.
The two returned to the house. Jiang Hongyu locked the door and lit an oil lamp. The room instantly became much brighter.
"Okay, it's time to open the blind boxes. Which one do you want to open first?" Ye Mingzhu said happily.
"What blind box?" Jiang Hongyu was a little confused.
"We don't know what these things are, aren't they just blind boxes?" Ye Mingzhu waved her hand. "That's what I mean. Which one do you think we should open first?"
Jiang Hongyu looked at her smiling face and said lovingly, "You have the final say. The big box you found should contain gold and silver or something like that. It's very heavy. The ones I found in the kitchen are probably jewelry or something like that. They're lighter."
Ye Mingzhu raised an eyebrow. Gold and silver? Jewelry? Can you tell from the box and the weight?
Please forgive me for not being able to tell because she is not a noble lady from ancient times.
She took the brocade box closest to her: "I'll open this first."
When the brocade box was opened, her first reaction was to look at Jiang Hongyu. He really guessed it right. Inside the brocade box were two pairs of jade bracelets, two jade pendants, and a jade ring. The entire box was filled with them, and the gaps were filled with scraps of cloth.
She removed the rags, picked up the top jade bracelet, and looked at it in the light: "This bracelet must be very expensive."
The jade bracelet is emerald green all over, with a natural color, lush and verdant, delicate and pure texture, and feels warm to the touch. Even if she doesn't understand jade, she knows it is a good thing.
Jiang Hongyu also opened a brocade box, which contained a gold bracelet, but it was inlaid with gems, making people feel rich and powerful.
Inside the gaps of the gold bracelet are gem earrings and a gem ring.
Ye Mingzhu put down the jade bracelet in her hand and opened a larger brocade box. Inside was a small phoenix crown with large pearls on it.
Jiang Hongyu opened the long box that Ye Mingzhu found first, and found three calligraphy and paintings inside, which was a bit beyond their expectations.
Jiang Hongyu opened the top painting and stared at it without moving.
"Is this calligraphy and painting valuable?" Ye Mingzhu asked. Calligraphy and painting that can be placed together with so many precious jewels cannot be from an unknown person, right?
