Delicate Flower - Chapter 33
[Chapter 33 Doubt]
A picture?
!
What kind of painting is it?
Yu Tang’s heart was beating wildly when he heard the words, and he was short of breath.
“Are you literate?” she heard her voice ask hoarsely.
“I don’t know how to read.” The boy said with a grief-stricken face and a broken jar, “It was the steward of the casino who asked me to steal it. He said that if he stole it, he would give me five taels of silver. It was two old men who were there. A painting of fishing by the river in the forest…”
Two old men were fishing by the river in the forest!
Yu Tang immediately thought of the “Pine Creek Fishing Hidden Picture”.
She felt flustered and short of breath, her hands and feet trembling.
“Is it this painting?” Yu Tang didn’t know how she walked back to the room, and how she showed the painting to the boy, but only knew that when she opened the painting, the boy’s eyes lit up. He continued, “It’s this painting, it’s this painting. The steward told me that there is a stamp on the boy’s hair next to the old man. It’s the painting that’s right.”
I ignored it before.
The things that happened crossed over in Yu Tang’s mind one by one.
The robbery of the Li family in the previous life, the sudden wealth of the Li family… The two thefts in this life, the “Merlin” seal on the boy’s hair, and the “Chunshuitang” next to the “Merlin” seal… She seemed to understand, and then It was as if he had a lot of thoughts, and he didn’t know anything.
“A Tang, what’s wrong with you?” Chen Shi, Yu Yuan, and Shuang Tao all gathered around, and Chen Shi even supported Yu Tang and asked in a puzzled way, “You child, how did you put this painting on the table? I found it again? Is there anything wrong with this painting? Or…” She asked, looking at the kid who was stealing from their family, and then at Yu Tang.
Some things haven’t been figured out yet… And, even if she figured it out, her mother knew that there was no other way than to worry and be anxious.
“It’s okay.” Yu Tang tried his best to suppress the stormy waves in his heart, making his tone sound calm and indifferent, “He said he came to our house to steal paintings, so I asked him.”
As soon as the boy heard it, he immediately shouted: “That’s it…”
Yu Tang pretended to be unintentional and hit the boy in the mouth with a drawing scroll, making the boy’s words vague, and said, “Mum, he I don’t know how to read and say that someone else asked him to come to our house to steal things. I think this matter has to be discussed in the long run until Dad comes back. Now let him take care of the big brother, so that he doesn’t say anything,
no This is the truth, but we became anxious when we heard it.” After speaking, she gave the boy a threatening look.
Chen has blind trust in her daughter and her husband, and naturally has no doubts.
Yu Yuan saw it clearly, he looked at Yu Tang carefully, and helped Yu Tang speak: “Yeah! A Tang is right. I’m here, auntie should go to rest early. No, after all this tossing, if there is any discomfort, it will be troublesome.”
Yu Tang glanced at Yu Yuan, knowing that Yu Yuan saw that there was a problem in it but was still helping her, so she followed Yu Yuan’s words. Said: “Mum, because of Lu Xin’s funeral, our family still owes money to shopkeeper Tong!”
Chen didn’t dare to delay here, but still doubted: “Does anyone take this painting as an authentic work? ”
It’s also possible.” Yu Tang now just wanted to coax her mother to sleep, and laughed, “Didn’t my father also look away?”
Chen Shi nodded and accompanied Shuang Tao to the inner room.
The boy’s mother came to beg Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan stared at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang winked at him.
Yu Yuan understood and said to the boy’s mother: “Don’t worry, our family is not that mean, but this matter is my second uncle’s family, and it’s not good for me to make up my mind at this time. I see you I’m also tired, but I’m afraid you won’t go back if I ask you to go back. I think so, you will sleep with Mrs. Chen for one night today, and I will take care of your boy for the time being. When my uncle comes back, we will discuss what to do. Do it.”
The boy’s mother thanked Yu Yuan with great gratitude, drinking the boy and kowtow to Yu Yuan, scolding him for not knowing how to make progress and so on.
Mrs. Chen also saw a clue, interrupted the scolding, and dragged the boy’s mother away.
Yu Yuan called A Tiao, tied the kid, and left him in his room.
The two brothers and sisters were standing by the bamboo bushes in the courtyard and talking.
“I just thought something was wrong. I lied to the kid a few words, and the kid told me to call.” Yu Tang told Yu Yuan all the news he asked just now, “I don’t know if it’s true or not? Brother, don’t you call me , I will also ask you to help me find out.”
After she finished speaking, she went to the study with Yu Yuan, lit the lamp again, and spread the painting on the big book table, looking at the painting carefully and saying: ” But I really can’t figure out what’s so special about this painting – even if it is an authentic work, it has to be exchanged for money. When Lu Xiucai sold this painting, he not only found his father alone. I like this painting, why don’t I spend a few taels to buy it? Why do so many things extravagantly? Besides, this painting is fake and has been appraised by shopkeeper Tong. If he always wants to get this painting, he should Knowing is.”
Yu Yuan has read more books than Yu Tang, and likes calligraphy and painting very much, so he is more researched than Yu Tang.
He looked at the painting carefully, but couldn’t see any difference: “Could it be that the shopkeeper Tong didn’t miss the moment?”
Yu Tang was taken aback.
Why does she think that shopkeeper Tong won’t go wrong?
One is that in the past life, shopkeeper Tong did not have any bad news, so she was preconceived; the other was that she did not know how many times she had watched this painting in her previous life, and she would never read it wrong!
But Yu Yuan’s words were like water dripping into an oil pan, splashing all over the place.
What if her painting was fake?
Yu Tang only felt that her heart suddenly opened up.
Didn’t she just have such a bold idea?
If this painting was bought by her father in the previous life, and this painting was brought to the Li family with her as her dowry, and the Li family was stolen that time, someone had changed her painting… Then it all seemed to make sense.
This is a genuine piece!
Shopkeeper Tong walked away.
The one in her hand in the previous life is fake!
But who replaced the original painting in her hand?
Yu Tang’s mind was spinning fast.
At that time, she had already married into the Li family holding the tablet. She was the chaste woman of the Li family. All Lin’an City were staring at her to see when she could return to Lin’an City and earn a chastity memorial for the Li family. How to go out, but whenever she goes out, everyone who knows her will be sympathetic to her, sighed, and respectful.
Who would steal her here without thinking.
Who has the guts to steal into Li’s house?
Moreover, the stealing of the Li family has always been a secret.
She used to think that the Li family was afraid that bad rumors would spread and affect her widowhood.
But what if this is not the case?
What if it was the Li family who stole her paintings?
And the Li family’s sudden wealth started not long after she lost her paintings.
Thinking of this, Yu Tang felt angry and his mind was buzzing.
She moved two lamps to the desk and said to Yu Yuan, “Brother, can you see what’s different about this painting?”
Yu Yuan shook his head, took the painting and looked at it for a long time, then said with a wry smile: ” No wonder people hate less books when they are used up. If only I could read more books.”
Yu Tang immediately thought of Pei Yan.
She shook her head hurriedly, as if she could shake the thought away.
Pei Yan is the third master of the Pei family. If she takes a painting that has been identified as a fake painting by shopkeeper Tong and goes to him to help identify it, Pei Yan will not only drive her out, but maybe she will feel bad for her. It’s to make trouble.
She really wants to ask Pei Yan for help when she is really in the water!
No wonder Pei Yan looked down on her before, she was indeed… doing things without thinking!
Yu Tang sighed and asked Yu Yuan, “Brother, tell me, do we want to show this painting to more powerful people? I always feel that if that kid didn’t fool us, we would definitely be instructed to steal it. The person who painted it stared at him, and if he can’t get the painting, he will definitely have trouble. We don’t know who he is, and even if he wants to save money and avoid disaster, there is no way to give this painting to him!”
Yu After thinking for a while, he said, “I’ll go to my uncle tomorrow and tell him about it. Then I’ll ask Li Yashou to help me to quietly ask the steward of Dufang, and see if I can find out who wants our house. If my uncle agrees, we will hire the steward of Dufang as a middleman and sell the painting to the other party with great fanfare.”
Yu Tang worried: “What if they think we are selling them a fake? Yu Yuan was stunned, and said after a while,
”
Then, do you have any good ideas?”
“I think it’s better to find a way to figure out this painting.” Yu Tang said, suddenly thinking of Lu Xin, she suddenly condensed and turned towards Yu Yuan looked away.
Yu Yuan saw confusion, hesitation, worry, surprise, and even fear in his cousin’s eyes.
With a thud in his heart, he thought of the source of this picture.
Could it be that Lu Xin’s death is also related to this painting?
Lu Xin is actually very selfish. Every time he drinks too much, others pay for it. He almost never buys alcohol himself. At that time, it will be painful to hit two or two wines.
“I, I’m going to find my uncle.” Yu Yuan jumped up, “We don’t know exactly how Lu Xin died, so we can only ask my uncle.”
Yu Wen was busy with Lu Xin’s funeral in another temple on the outskirts of the city.
“The common man is innocent, but he is guilty!” Yu Tang looked at the painting on the bookcase and wished to set it on fire, “This is really an innocent disaster!”
But she dared not.

She is afraid that even if she really burns the painting, the people who want to paint it don’t believe it, and she will still come to trouble their family.
And they won’t be able to hand over the paintings at that time, and the situation will be even more difficult than it is now.
Yu Tang looked at the leaking pot and said, “The city gate will not open for two hours at the earliest. You go to bed first, and I will have Shuang Tao call you. Then I will ask A Tiao to borrow a mule from Master Wu’s house. , Early in the morning, if you can’t hire a carriage, you have a mule to ride, it’s better than walking!”
Yu Yuan knew that Yu Tang’s arrangement was the best.
Although he was in a heavy mood, he forced himself to sleep according to Yu Tang’s arrangement.
Yu Tang didn’t sleep all night.
She kept staring at the painting, hoping to find something different from her previous life.
When it was almost dawn, she first called Shuang Tao to get up and helped Yu Yuan prepare dry food, and then asked A Tiao to wake Yu Yuan up and send Yu Yuan out the door.
