This is……"

Shen Cha looked at the contents of those boxes, and reached out to pick up the contents of one of the boxes, but just as he reached out, Shen Haolin grabbed hold of it.

"Brother?" She tilted her head to look at Shen Haolin, "I'm wearing gloves!"

"It's better to be careful, take a look first." Shen Haolin used the stick just now to pull a small wooden box over, and with the help of candlelight, he looked at the contents, "Isn't this year too old?"

"Let me take a look." Shen Cha rubbed over to look inside the box, "Indeed, if it was left by my mother, it would be a very old age. But..." She looked at Shen Haolin with a puzzled expression, "This Won't things break? Or, is it fake?"

"Where can I find fake ones!" Shen Haolin chuckled, "It's real." He reached out and took out the contents of the box, sniffed it under his nose, and handed it to Shen Cha, "Although the smell is gone , but it still looks fine."

"Food should be full of color, fragrance, and flavor. If the taste is gone, what else is good?" Shen Cha looked at the things Shen Haolin put in his hand, "If I remember correctly, this should be the master of the imperial kitchen Fangqiu in the palace. tea cake?"

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "When you were young, Master Qiu's tea cake was your favorite, right?"

"The taste is indeed good, but after Master Qiu left the palace to travel around the world, he has never eaten such a delicious tea cake." Shen Cha looked at the tea cake in his hand and chuckled, "Later Miao Miao still wants to restore it, but the taste is always not right."

"The materials are all correct, but the proportions are wrong, and Master Qiu didn't leave any letters."

"Even if he stayed, he would have been ruined by his big apprentice." Shen Cha rolled his eyes, squeezed the tea cake in his hand, and observed it carefully, "No, brother, this is not Master Qiu tea cake."

"No?" Shen Haolin leaned over to take a look, and after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't see any difference between this piece of tea cake and the tea cake he remembered, "How can you tell that this is not Master Qiu's?"

"Master Qiu's tea cake has its own characteristics. I have eaten it so many times, and I already know it very well." Shen Cha turned over the piece of tea cake in his hand, "Every piece of tea cake he made by himself will be in this place ..." She pointed to the lower right corner of the tea cake, "Print a small pattern on it, if the tea cake is like tea leaves, if it contains peanuts or melon seeds, there will be patterns of peanuts and melon seeds on it, if It's a chestnut cake, and there will be a very cute, round chestnut." She looked at Shen Haolin, "Look, brother, there is nothing on this piece of tea cake, which means it must not be made by Master Qiu."

"Then what if you forgot?"

"Impossible, Master Qiu's habits for so many years will never be forgotten." Shen Cha thought for a while, "If this thing wasn't made by Master Qiu, maybe it was..." She curled her lips in disgust, "That dishonorable Big apprentice." She put the tea cake back in her hand and looked at the small box containing it, "Hey, there is a date on it, let me see."

"when?"

"Should be twelve years ago?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "Master Qiu has already traveled around the world, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "It seems that your judgment is correct, it should be done by his apprentice."

"Really!" Shen Cha raised the corners of her lips slightly, and took out a small porcelain plate that was supposed to hold refreshments from another wooden box, "This..." She frowned slightly, "Is it from our family, or In the palace?"

"It's from the palace, but our family also has some from the imperial court." Shen Haolin glanced at them, "Our family's patterns are different from this one, and the enamel is also different. This one is only for the palace. Ours is specially rewarded by the palace to the relatives and ministers of the emperor."

"Oh, then I know." Shen Cha looked at the plate in his hand, "It seems that the weight is not the same, this one is a little heavier, isn't it?"

"It should be." Shen Haolin smiled, "There is no particularly in-depth research on these things."

"Put these things together, it feels like..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "The flower banquets, tea parties, poetry parties and so on of ladies in the palace, these small dishes, food, tea sets and so on, can all be used Got it." Seeing Shen Haolin nodding, she thought for a while and continued, "But why did mother put away the things at the tea party?"

"This..." Shen Haolin watched Shen Cha close these boxes again, and pointed to the files in the drawer, "We have to look at those files to understand what these things represent, right?"

Hearing Shen Haolin's words, Shen Chashen took it for granted, how did he push those wooden boxes over just now, and how did he push them back, put them back in the drawer, and slowly stood up while supporting the cabinet.

I don't know if she used a little strength to hold the cabinet, but it felt like it was shaking a little. Shen Cha was taken aback for a moment, stood up straight, pushed the cabinet a little harder, and vaguely heard a creaking sound. The creaking sound, she felt that she was hallucinating, so she pushed a little harder twice, and as expected, she heard the same sound just now.

"Brother?" She turned around and saw Shen Haolin standing behind her, "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded, "I heard that there should be another mechanism."

"Father and mother are really careful, this is a series of secret rooms!"

Shen Cha slowed down, started pushing from the first side of the cabinet, pushed it down in a circle, only heard a little noise from the two sides of the cabinet, but there was only a sound, and there was no change.

"If you can't push separately, can't you..." Shen Cha touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Can the two of us push together?"

"You can try."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha stood in front of the two sides of the cabinet that made the sound respectively, and put their hands on the top of the cabinet.

"Brother, are you ready?" Seeing Shen Haolin nodding, Shen Cha said, "Three! Two! Push!"

Two people pushed the cabinet at the same time, this time it was not a faint sound, but a very clear creaking sound, more than that, the two cabinets separated from them began to turn inward, as if two doors The same as the door, revealing another secret room inside the cabinet door.

"I guessed right!" Seeing the darkness inside the cabinet, Shen Cha smiled, picked up the previous cushion, picked up the candlestick next to it, and obediently walked to Shen Haolin's side, "Brother, shall we go in?"

"Enter!"
