Delicate Flower

Chapter 8 Buy painting

Yu Wen thought it was his fault. When questioned by his daughter, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. He whispered: “Atang, although your mother needs medicine now, she doesn’t need to go to the capital anymore. I will take this silver. Your mother went to the capital. Besides, you also see what your Uncle Lu treats our family. How can I just take care of my own family at this time and ignore his life and death?”

Yu Tang was extremely angry, and said: “Is he a life or death now? Wouldn’t he be able to live without these two hundred taels of silver?”

“It’s almost the same!” Yu Wen said, “Your Uncle Lu offended the Pei family and can’t stay in Lin’an Mansion. Enke will be opened again next year. He can’t get a good recommendation and it is difficult for him to improve his studies. ”

Yu Tang knows this kind of thing.

Officials who are dedicated to official positions are usually willing to benefit one party. Some local scholars who enter the Beijing Science Examination will write famous posts to officials who are familiar or close to each other, asking them to help arrange accommodation and even give pointers to schoolwork, in order to get a better result on the gold list.

She sneered and said, “If I remember correctly, Uncle Lu is just a talented person? The Pei family wrote him a letter of recommendation. I am afraid he can’t use it? Besides, the Pei family always likes to help the neighbors. He does it. What has offended the Pei family, didn’t Dad think about it carefully?”

Yu Wen was obviously reluctant to talk more, only said: “He has decided to live in Beijing, and I don’t know if he will come back in the future. This is the last time I have helped him, and it is also considered that I repay him for saving your mom’s life, so you don’t want to. Investigated.”

This is the end, what can Yu Tang say.

She bitterly said: “How about painting?”

After all, the painting is an antique, and it’s worth some silver. In the future, if the family can’t pay for the medicine for the mother, they can still use the painting.

Yu Wen kindly handed the scroll to Yu Tang.

While spreading the picture scroll on the bookcase, Yu Tang whispered: “That means you are good to talk. Two hundred taels of silver, if he uses it as a **** shop, he can be a hundred taels at most…”

Before she finished speaking, her eyes widened.

This is not the “Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture” she often took out and watched in her previous life.

In the previous life, after his parents had an accident, this painting was left at home and was forgotten. It was not until she was married that the uncle considered that the Li family she was going to marry was a scholar, and wanted to buy some calligraphy and paintings for her dowry and make her dowry more decent. This painting was found again. And because her parents had something to do with this painting, she took it as a thought, kept it carefully, and took it out from time to time to look at it.

She remembers very clearly that this painting has 23 seals. The last two seals are “Chun Shui Tang” and the other is “Skin Mei Weng”. “Chun Shui Tang” is covered by “Skin Mei Weng”. At this time, the place where the seal of “Chunshuitang” was supposed to be stamped was “Merlin.”

This picture is fake!

Yu Tang was furious and said, “Daddy, Lu Xin is a villain!”

Seeing her daughter repeatedly slander her friends, Yu Wen felt a little unhappy. He walked over, and was about to collect the picture scrolls and put them away. On the other hand, he said, “You child, how do you talk? No one in the world has any shortcomings. The point about your Uncle Lu is not to let it go. It depends on the people, it depends on the main…”

“No!” Yu Tang interrupted his father, preventing his father from rolling up the picture scroll, pointing to the seal with “Merlin” and saying, “Father, look, there should be a “Chunshuitang” here…”

Yu Wen laughed and said, “You don’t want to read books on weekdays. Now it’s a joke! I don’t know whose seal’Chun Shui Tang’ is, but this’Mei Lin’ is Master Zuo’s personal seal. I used to I also studied the manuscripts and seals of Mr. Zuo. This painting from Mr. Zuo’s father’s house was given to his father. Isn’t it weird without this seal? Look, this “Skinny Meiweng” is your uncle Lu. Father’s alias.”

Yu Tang was completely messed up.

Could it be that the famous paintings she used to play with in her last life were fake?

Yu Tang was not reconciled, she asked Yu Wen to find someone to appraise.

Yu Wen disagreed: “Your dad can’t read books, and he won’t lose sight of identifying a few ancient paintings from the previous dynasty.”

The confusion in Yu Tang’s heart is getting bigger.

In the previous life, after she married to Li’s family, there was a thief in the family. Later, everyone checked the family’s belongings. Only she lost two or three pieces of gold jewelry. At that time, she was still wondering why someone went to the Li family to be a thief in the high-wall compound of the Li family, and how could they only steal this little thing.

Could it be that this painting had been stolen at that time?

In the days of the Li family, Yu Tang didn’t want to think about it, but he couldn’t deny that it was a knot in her heart. Especially the resentment towards the members of the Li family, the touch will make her tremble with anger and speechless.

No way!

She couldn’t just be so confused when nothing happened.

Yu Tang asked Yu Wen for “Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture” to watch, but privately took the painting to Pei’s pawnshop.

Pei’s family only opened one pawnshop in Lin’an.

At the crossroads in front of Lin’an Mansion Wharf.

The shopkeeper is still the fat and white Tong Gui.

In his previous life, Yu Tang was a lot of dowry in his hands.

She wrapped her head, dressed as a countrywoman, and quietly entered the pawnshop.

The shopkeeper Tong is not there, and it is Tong Hai, the son of the shopkeeper Tong, who is guarding the cupboard.

Like Tong Gui, he was fat and white, but now he is only a young man with a weak crown, he has already seen a smile on his face, and he is very amiable.

Yu Tang handed over the painting and whispered “Lively”.

Tong Hai took the painting with a smile, and opened the scroll indifferently, but his expression stunned the moment he saw the scroll. Although he immediately put on a smiling face, the shock on his face was caught by Yu Tang.

It can be seen that Tong Hai has already practiced a pair of good eyesight at this time.

“Little lady wait slowly, and please come to the inner hall for a cup of tea first.” He smiled like Maitreya Buddha, “This is an antique calligraphy and painting that you have, and you have to look at the guest in our shop to make a price.”

Why is Pei’s pawnshop fair and just? When many pawnshops see you going to be something, they swindle you first, asking you how much money you want to be, and no matter how much money you want to be, they can devalue what you want to be worthless and persuade you. Die.

Yu Tang nodded. Since knowing that his father bought the painting again, his anxiety has alleviated a lot.

Her fate is so wonderful, everything is changing, at least the pawnshop in Pei’s family is familiar to her, and the pawnshop’s big and small shopkeepers are still the same as before.

She followed the shopkeeper Xiaotong to the inner hall.

A gust of wind blew the camphor trees in the courtyard rustling, causing a few koi in the pond under the tree to emerge from under the leaves of the water lily.

Yu Tang couldn’t help slowing down, and after a few glances, he heard some people talking faintly behind the half-covered Liuli fan on the opposite side.

She followed the prestige.

No human face was seen, only the figures of two men were seen through the crack of the door.

The fat one is Tong Gui, she recognized it at a glance. The tall one wore an azure dye-faced hang silk road gown, standing tall, standing with his back hands, and from a distance, across the road fan, he could feel that kind of Lin Yuanzhiyue demeanor.

It should be a big client coming from the pawnshop.

Yu Tang came here to be something incognito. He was afraid of revealing the stuff and didn’t dare to look at it. He couldn’t help thinking secretly in his heart.

He has such a good temperament, but he came to be something, and I don’t know who it is…

She shook her head, feeling a little pity inexplicably.

After drinking two cups of tea, the big and small Tong shopkeepers unexpectedly came together.

“This little lady,” the shopkeeper Tong held the picture scroll she had handed to the shopkeeper Xiao Tong, wiped his sweat, “Your painting is a fake.”

Fake painting? !

Yu Tang suddenly stood up.

She knew that Lu Xin was not a good thing!

In the previous life, her father bought his painting without refusing, and he sold a real painting to her father anyway. In this life, her father was unwilling to buy his paintings, so he simply sold a fake painting to her father.

Yu Tang gritted his teeth.

But I have to admit that if it hadn’t been for her intervention, this kind of thing wouldn’t happen in this life.

Since she was the one who caused the trouble, she naturally took care of the mess.

If you don’t want the real paintings in Lu Xin’s hand, you have to get back the silver in his hands!

Yu Tang snatched the painting from the treasurer Tong Da, and said bitterly, “Thank you, treasurer Tong, for bothering you.”

The shopkeeper Tong, big and small, looked at her blankly, as if being frightened.

Yu Tang had to smile reluctantly.

She complained about Lu Xin, but she should not anger the treasurer Tong.

“Excuse me!” She apologized, “I didn’t expect it to be a fake painting, which would delay your time.”

The big and small Tong shopkeepers are really good. If I changed someone else and took a fake painting, I would have been taken out by the pawnshop as a porcelain, and left it on the street for people to watch a joke.

“No!” The shopkeeper Xiao Tong stammered, “You, your headscarf is off.”

What happened to the headscarf?

It took a long time for Yu Tang to react.

In order to come to the pawnshop, she deliberately found an old pair of peach clothes, not to mention it, combed a woman’s head, and wore a pink velvet flower. Originally, she was still thinking about whether to apply some powder to make her face look haggard. , But when she found out the powder of Shuangtao, she disliked that the powder used for Shuangtao was not delicate enough. Shuangtao said to go to “Xie Fuxiang” to buy a new box, and she felt that it was not worth spending two taels of silver—two taels. The silver is enough for her mom to take medicine for half a month.

Yu Tang thought about his past life, he just wrapped his bag and entered the pawnshop and no one knew him, but his heart was like a previous life, but he forgot that he was just in time now, and his face was as tender as a branch in March. Her cherry is still green and delicate, no matter how she looks like a child in adult clothes, even the blind can tell that she is dressed in disguise.

Yu Tang’s face flushed red, he wrapped his head indiscriminately, grabbed the scroll and walked out of the pawnshop.

At noon in midsummer, the sun was so fierce that people couldn’t open their eyes.

There was no one on the pier. Under the eaves of the shop next door, there was a shopkeeper with naked torso lying on a rocking chair and swinging a cat fan. The quiet afternoon is even more dull.

Yu Tang came back to his senses.

She just asked about the authenticity of the painting, but didn’t figure out where it was.

If Lu Xin denies, what should she say?

Yu Tang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and turned back to the pawnshop again.

In the pawnshop, the man in Tsing Yi she saw earlier did not know when he came out. He was talking to the shopkeeper Tong Da: “You know lie at a young age. If you encounter such a thing in the future, you must not tolerate the rape!”

The shopkeeper Tong nodded and stood in front of the man, just about to promise, but when he looked up, he saw Yu Tang walking in.

He gaped and looked embarrassed.
