Chapter 14

I don’t dare to drink too much porridge. Half of the bowl is full of rice soup. Only when the spoon reaches the bottom can I get some rice grains. It’s almost full of water, but this bowl of rice soup feels a lot more comfortable in my stomach. The dry food is toast. The bread machine just stopped, and the newly made pillow bread is cut into slices and can be eaten for two days.

After washing the dishes and machines, and tidying up the kitchen and dining table, Qi Ke washed a cold kettle and flushed a large pot of honey water and put it on the dining table, so that he would not have to make honey water every time he wanted to drink.

After all this work, Qi Ke finally walked to the sofa and sat down, but after resting for a while, she got busy again, spread out all the gift slips she had found earlier on the coffee table, and brought her laptop and camera. These gift sheets were taken into photos and imported into the computer, and then the pictures were converted into text. The computer successfully recognized no garbled characters, and finally formed a document sorted by time. Three or four, all listed, refreshing and refreshing.

This is to keep a backup just in case. Who knows what the family will look like when the general account is calculated. This weak and thin body can't stand the storm.

Qi Ke curled up his legs and nestled in the sofa, thinking that he had already done two fights, how much trouble would he have to make to force the family to sit down and negotiate together.

After thinking about it, Qi Ke suddenly frowned and her body tensed. She remembered a scene that made her feel wrong. The maids who broke into the broken house from behind to search for the house were not looking for it at all. People are looking for things. After all, in a small shabby house with four walls, it is clear at a glance whether there are hidden people, but if there are things, there are small corners that can be used.

The more she thought about it, the more suspicious Qi Ke became, her eyes finally fell on the dressing box that had been thrown on the floor beside the sofa. The behavior she found at that time was not under her control. Heck.

And the group of servants were looking around, and what they were looking for was probably this box, or... the contents of the box.

Thinking of this, Qi Ke couldn't sit still, climbed over the sofa, moved the dressing box to the coffee table and opened it layer by layer. Except for a rusted bronze mirror, all the other drawers were empty. I don't know if it was hidden underground for too long, the drawers were hard to open, astringent and not smooth, but when Qi Ke touched the dressing box, a faint feeling of nostalgia and nostalgia came into his heart, and he immediately realized that this was probably the case. A relic used by the original owner's mother.

Since it is a relic that makes people nostalgic, Qi Ke can't just throw it away. He sighed helplessly, touched it at will, and wondered if it is worth repairing. If it can be repaired, he can keep it for himself. The storage box is nice.

But when he touched it outside, Qi Ke found that the hand felt was not right. The bottom of the upper drawer seemed to feel like paper.

This discovery made Qi Ke pull out each drawer completely and turn it over. Sure enough, she saw a thin envelope stuck to the bottom plate. There was paper in the envelope. She didn't want to tear the envelope, so she could only carefully remove the paper inside. When I pulled it out, it was all red paper. Although it was old, it was supposed to be crisp high-grade paper, and the content on the paper surprised and delighted Qi Ke.

This is the dowry list of the original owner's mother.

This must be what the servant girls were ordered to find.
