This is……"

Shen Cha looked at the contents of those boxes and reached out to pick up the contents of one of the boxes. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Shen Haolin held it.

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

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

"Let me take a look." Shen Cha walked over and looked inside the box, "It is true. If it was left by my mother, it is not as old as usual. But..." She looked at Shen Haolin with a puzzled look. "Won't this thing break? Or is it fake?"

"Where can I find fake ones!" Shen Haolin chuckled, "It's true." He reached out and took out the contents of the box, put it under his nose and smelled it, then handed it to Shen Cha, "Although the smell has already It’s gone, but it still looks intact.”

"Food should be full of color, aroma, flavor, and flavor. If the taste is gone, what's left intact?" Shen Cha looked at the things Shen Haolin put in his hands, "If I remember correctly, this should be the imperial dining room in the palace. The tea cake that the master is good at?”

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "Your favorite when you were a child was Master Qiu's tea cake, right?"

"The taste is indeed good, but after Master Qiu left the palace and traveled around the world, he has never eaten such delicious tea cakes again." Shen Cha looked at the tea cake in his hand and chuckled, "Later, Miao Miao also wanted to restore it, but the taste was never quite right."

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

"Even if he stayed, he was ruined by his great disciple." Shen Cha rolled his eyes, pinched the tea cake in his hand, and observed it carefully, "No, brother, this is not Master Qiu. tea cake.”

"No?" Shen Haolin went over and took a look. 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 cakes have their own characteristics. I have eaten them so many times and I know them 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. If it is a tea cake, it will look like tea leaves. If it contains peanuts or melon seeds, there will be patterns of peanuts and melon seeds on it. It’s chestnut cake, and there will be a very cute, round little chestnut.” She looked at Shen Haolin, “Brother, look, there is nothing on this piece of tea cake, which means it is definitely not made by Master Qiu.”

"Then what if I forgot?"

"Impossible, Master Qiu will never forget his habits for so many years." Shen Cha thought for a while, "If Master Qiu didn't make this thing, maybe it was..." She curled her lips in disgust, "That one who doesn't live up to expectations. Big apprentice." She put the tea cake back in her hand and looked at the small box containing it, "Hey, there's a date on it, let me take a look."

"when?"

"It should have been 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 his apprentice who did it."

"Right!" Shen Cha raised the corners of her lips slightly, and took out a small porcelain plate that should be used to hold tea snacks from another wooden box. "This..." She frowned slightly, "Is it from our home, or From the palace?"

"It's from the palace, but we also have some at home, all given by the emperor." Shen Haolin took a look and said, "The patterns in our home are different from this one, and the enamel is also different. This one is specially for the palace. Yes, ours is a reward from the palace specially given to the emperor’s relatives and ministers.”

"Oh, then I understand." Shen Cha looked at the plate in his hand, "The weight seems to be different. This one is a little heavier, isn't it?"

"Probably." Shen Haolin smiled, "I haven't done any in-depth research on these things."

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

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

After listening to Shen Haolin's words, Shen Cha Shen took it for granted. How did she push those wooden boxes over just now, how did she push those back, put them back into the drawer, and stood up slowly while holding on to the cabinet.

I don't know if she put some force on the cabinet, but it felt like the cabinet was shaking a little. Shen Cha was slightly startled, stood up straight, and pushed the cabinet with a little force, and faintly heard a squeak. She thought she was hallucinating the squeaking sound, so she pushed a little harder twice, and sure enough, she heard the same sound again.

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

"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded, "I heard it, there should be some mechanism."

"Father, mother is really cautious. This is a series of secret rooms!"

Shen Cha calmed down and started pushing the cabinet from the first side. After pushing it in a circle, he only heard a little noise from the cabinets on both sides, but it was just a sound and nothing changed.

"If pushing separately doesn't work, can it be..." Shen Cha touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Can we push together?"

"You can try it."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha stood in front of the two cabinets that made the sound, with their hands on the cabinets.

"Brother, are you ready?" Seeing Shen Haolin nod, 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 squeaking sound. Not only that, the two cabinets separated from them began to rotate inward, as if two doors It looks like a door, revealing another secret room inside the cabinet door.

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