Bai Xiuyao asked curiously, "Brother Six, have you touched it? This cabinet really has a secret lattice?"

Bai Rongxuan pointed to the junction of the cabinet and the drawer and whispered, "Look here, it's not much the same as elsewhere. The drawer baffle is separated from the cabinet at a distance, and it's empty when knocked, and there must be a secret lattice inside.

”

She said, tapping her gently a few times, and it made a crisp sound of thumping sound.

Bai Xiuyao said in surprise, "It's really... this cabinet used to be in Uncle San's study, and maybe something important hidden in it."

When Bai Rongxuan heard this, she became energetic, "The baffle is a bit thick and can't be opened at all."

Tao Qing suggested, "Why should I go find tools?"

Bai Rongxuan shook her head, "No, it would be a pity if the cabinet is broken. Any secret compartment should have an expansion to open, so let me look for it again."

She wanted to drill her body into the cabinet to study.

Bai Xiuyao said, "Sixth Brother, don't worry. Even if you expand organically, you will definitely not hide so deeply. You should be placed in a place where you can reach with your hands. I don't believe that the third uncle has to work so hard every time he opens a dark square.

Is it?"

This also makes sense.

Bai Rongxuan was sweating profusely, "Then where do you think the opportunity will be expanded?"

Bai Xiuyao said, "You get out of the way, I'll look for it."

Bai Rongxuan was so tired that she had to retreat aside. Bai Xiuyao looked up and down around the cabinet.

Bai Rongxuan reminded carefully, "You should be careful and don't break the cabinet."

"Look at you to be so delicate." Bai Xiuyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is the third uncle who stays. I know you care, and your hands will be relaxed. Besides, look at how big my little arms and legs are

Strength, don’t hurt me first if the cabinet is not broken.”

Bai Rongxuan said, "That's even worse. I would rather not have a cabinet than hurt you."

Bai Xiuyao said happily, "With this sentence from Brother Six, I am satisfied and have no more requests." He walked around the cabinet twice, and his eyes fell on the handle of the drawer.

Bai Rongxuan said, "Have you found it?"

Bai Xiuyao tentatively turned the drawer handle, and it was indeed a moveable one. He swung to the right and heard a click, and a small door popped open under the drawer immediately.

Bai Xiuyao said in surprise, "It's true that it's here."

The small door with a dark lattice is designed very pleasingly, and the patterns perfectly fit the cabinet itself. In addition, some dust has fallen over the years, so it is difficult to detect with the naked eye alone.

Bai Rongxuan quickly stepped forward and carefully pulled out the secret compartment from the cabinet.

There are only some gadgets inside.

A small box with exquisite workmanship, several letters and a Western ornament.

The ornaments are made of glass, with shimmering lake surfaces, with a few green lotus leaves floating. The two swans cross their necks, making them look extremely loving. They are reflected in the water, and they are even more affectionate. The most unexpected thing is,

There was actually a tall tower reflected in the lake, shaking gently, and the water in the glass slowly flowed, making the tower look real and illusory, and it was really superb.

Bai Xiuyao said, "Oh, it was made by foreigners. This craft is really amazing."

Bai Rongxuan went to stare at the ornaments for a while and said softly, "This... this seems to be the scenery of West Lake... The tower in the reflection is the famous Leifeng Tower."

"Really?" Bai Xiuyao said, "How did you see it? Is there any words on the tower?"

"No." Bai Rongxuan said, "But I just feel this way..."

Bai Xiuyao smiled, "Did Brother Six miss Hangzhou?"

It’s no wonder. After all, it’s a place where I lived since childhood, so how could I have no feelings?

Bai Rongxuan shook her head firmly, "This is really West Lake. You don't know, my parents met for the first time in West Lake."

Bai Xiuyao suddenly realized, "So that's it! I guess Uncle San was grateful for his encounter back then, or he made a special customization, or bought it by chance. In order to be a souvenir, he hid it here. Unexpectedly, after so long, he was actually six.

Brother discovered it.”

Bai Rongxuan especially liked this exquisite ornament. She said to Tao Qing, "Let it go back and put it on the Duobao Pavilion in my study."

Tao Qing agreed respectfully.

Bai Rongxuan opened the exquisite little box again, wanting to see what was inside.

It turned out to be a seal that was only half carved.

The completed word is the three words "Lixue Tower", and there is another word that has not been completed yet.

Bai Rongxuan guessed that this was probably what her father was doing when he was free, and the words on it should be Lixue Tower Master or something similar.

My father lives in Lixuetang, so it is normal for him to use this place as a name. Most celebrities and anecdotes from ancient times to the present will name themselves with this method.

Bai Rongxuan put away the seal and her eyes fell on the letters.

I don't know what was written in the letter?

Seeing this, Bai Xiuyao smiled and said, "Brother Six, it's getting late, so it's time for us to set off. It will be even harder to walk on the road. Keep these letters for you to come back and read them."

It is indeed impolite to be late for being a guest, and it also seems disrespectful to the host.

Bai Rongxuan immediately agreed and handed over all the things found from the secret compartment to Tao Qing for safekeeping, "I'll keep them for me."

Tao Qing took it with both hands, not daring to neglect it at all.

Bai Rongxuan and Bai Xiuyao left the warehouse and went to wash their hands again. Then they went out. Bai Xiuyao only brought a servant beside him, but Bai Rongxuan took more than a dozen, and Wu Jie was in charge of the team leader.

Bai Rongxuan looked surprised, and Wu Jie whispered, "This is what General Manager Tao ordered. I'm afraid you will suffer a loss outside."

Bai Rongxuan said helplessly, "Not it? Isn't Brother Yao by my side?"

Wu Jie said, "It's better to take it with you, you can always feel at ease. There is no Sixth Master here. If something really happens, you may not be able to protect you by relying on Young Master Yao alone."

Bai Rongxuan had no choice but to agree, "Okay."

She and Bai Xiuyao got on the carriage and went to the Yuan family in the rain.

Bai Rongxuan asked Bai Xiuyao in the carriage, "Does the Yuan family have a wide range of friends? Will there be many people coming tonight?"

Bai Xiuyao said, "No. Sixth Brother doesn't know that Yuan Zheng's uncle has a very strange temper. If he values ​​someone, even if he robs the family and leaves the ten evil things, he will think you are good. He will devote himself to it when dating and wish he could lose everything. But

If he looks down on someone he doesn't like, no matter if you are a noble family, you should ignore it. Outsiders say that his mind is not very useful. But I think he is a rare true nature and would rather be with such a real person.

When dating, you don’t waste time with those hypocritical villains.”

Bai Rongxuan smiled and said, "What is Yuan Zheng's father's personality?"

"He..." Bai Xiuyao thought for a moment, "What should I say? For Yuan Zheng's sake, I can't say bad things about his father, but he... is a bit sensible and very smart

, It is the type of type that sells you and helps count money. Every time I see me, I will call out, and it sounds so friendly, I don’t know if people see you, but I think our relationship is

How good is it? He often walks around the Yuan family. Uncle Yuan Zheng rarely goes out, either practicing behind closed doors or studying the Book of Changes and fortune-telling.”

In this way, the people in the Yuan family are quite tempered.

Bai Rongxuan said, "Is the head of the Yuan family now Yuan Zheng's uncle?"

Bai Xiuyao nodded, "Yes, don't think that others are not easy to get along with, you still have the ability, otherwise the Yuan family would not be among the four small families. And... Yuan Zheng's uncle and Min Liu's

The relationship is pretty good, but these two people with strange temperaments get along well, and they are shocked when they are."
