Delicate Flower - Chapter 8

[Chapter 8 Buying Paintings]

Yu Wen felt that this was his fault, and when questioned by his daughter, he couldn’t help feeling guilty and whispered: “A Tang, although your mother needs to take medicine now, she doesn’t need to go to the capital, so I will take the money with me. Your mother went to the capital. Besides, you also see how your Uncle Lu treats our family. How can I only take care of my family and ignore his life at this time? ”

Yu Tang was very angry and said, “Is he at the point of life and death now? Can’t he live without these two hundred taels of silver?”

“It’s about the same!” Yu Wen said, “Your Uncle Lu has offended the people of the Pei family, and he can’t stay in Lin’an Mansion any longer. Next year, he is going to open the Enke University. He won’t get good recommendations, and it will be difficult for him to be diligent in his studies. ”

Yu Tang knew this kind of thing.

Officials who serve are usually willing to benefit one side.

When local scholars enter Beijing for scientific examinations, they will write famous posts to officials who are familiar or close to each other, asking them to help arrange accommodation or even give pointers on their homework, in order to be listed on the gold list and achieve better results.

She sneered and said, “If I remember correctly, Uncle Lu is just a scholar, right? The Pei family wrote him a letter of recommendation, so I’m afraid he won’t be able to use it? Besides, the Pei family always likes to help the neighbors. What happened to offend the Pei family, didn’t Dad think about it carefully?”

Yu Wen obviously didn’t want to talk more, just said: “He has decided to live in the capital, and he doesn’t know if he will come back in the future. This is the last time I help him, and it is also my reward for saving your mother’s life, so you don’t want to. pursued.”

At this point, what else can Yu Tang say.

She said bitterly, “Where’s the painting?”

After all, the painting is an antique, and it is worth some money. In the future, if the family can’t afford the money for the mother’s medicine, it can still be regarded as a painting.

Yu Wen pleased and handed the scroll to Yu Tang.

As Yu Tang spread the scroll on the desk, he muttered softly, “That’s how you talk. For two hundred taels of silver, if he takes it to the pawnshop, he can be at most one hundred taels of silver…”

Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes widened.

This is not the “Pine River Fishing and Hidden Picture” that she often took out to rub and watch in her previous life.

In the previous life, after the parents had an accident, this painting was left at home and was forgotten.

It was not until she got married that the eldest uncle, considering that the Li family she was marrying was a scholar, wanted to buy some calligraphy and painting as a dowry for her to make her dowry more decent, and the painting was found again.

And because her parents’ accident was related to this painting, she took it as a thought, kept it carefully, and took it out from time to time to look at it.

She remembered very clearly that there were twenty-three seals in this painting, and the last two seals were one of “Spring Water Hall” and the other “Slim Mei Weng”. At this time, the place that should have been stamped with the seal of “Chunshuitang” was covered with “Merlin”.

This picture is fake!

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

When Yu Wen saw his daughter repeatedly slandering his friends, he felt a little unhappy. He walked over and said, “You child, how do you talk? No one in the world has flaws. It’s not that you don’t let go of your Uncle Lu, you should look at the person, look at the main thing…”

“No!” Yu Tang interrupted his father’s words and prevented his father from rolling up the scroll. He pointed to the seal with “Merlin” and said, “Dad, look, it should be covered with ‘Spring Water Hall’…”

Yu Wen laughed and said: “You are usually asked to read if you don’t read it, now it’s a joke! I don’t know whose seal ‘Chun Shui Tang’ is, but this ‘Merlin’ is the private seal of Lord Zuo. I have also studied the manuscripts and seals of Master Zuo. This painting from your Uncle Lu’s family was given to his late father by Master Zuo. Is it strange that there is no such seal? Look, this ‘Skinny Meiweng’ is your Uncle Lu. Father’s nickname.”

Yu Tang was completely messed up.

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

Yu Tang is not reconciled,

She asked Yu Wen to find someone for identification.

Yu Wen disagreed: “Your grandfather can’t read well, so you won’t miss out on identifying a few ancient paintings from the previous dynasty anyway.”

The confusion in Yu Tang’s heart was getting bigger and bigger.

In her previous life, after she married into the Li family, there was a robbery in the family. Later, when everyone counted their belongings, she was the only one who lost two or three pieces of gold jewelry.

At that time, she was still wondering, how could someone steal only this thing when someone went to the Li family’s high-wall compound to be a thief.

Could it be that the painting had already been stolen at that time?

Yu Tang was reluctant to recall the days in the Li family, but she could not deny that it was a knot in her heart.

Especially the resentment towards the people of the Li family, every touch would make her tremble with anger, unable to speak.

no!

She couldn’t just be so confused as if nothing had happened.

Yu Tang asked Yu Wen for “The Hidden Picture of Fishing in Songxi” to watch, but quietly took the painting to Pei’s pawnshop in private.

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

At the crossroads in front of Lin’an Fu Pier.

The shopkeeper is still the chubby Tong Gui.

In the past life, Yu Tang served as a lot of dowry in his hands.

She folded her head, dressed as a country woman, and entered the pawnshop quietly.

The shopkeeper Tong is not there, and the one who is guarding the counter is Tong Hai, the son of shopkeeper Tong.

Like Tong Gui, he is also white and plump. Now he is only a weakling, he has already seen a smile on his face, which is very amiable.

Yu Tang handed the painting over, and whispered “Live it”.

Tong Hai took the picture with a smile, and opened the scroll casually, but the moment he saw the scroll, his expression froze.

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 good pair of eyesight at this time.

“Wait, little lady, and please go to the inner hall for a cup of tea first.” He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, “This is an antique calligraphy and painting, and the guest in our shop can look at it before making a price.”

Why is the Pei family’s pawnshop fair?

Many pawnshops will cheat you when they see you going to be a pawn, and ask you how much money you want to pawn, and no matter how much money you ask for, they can devalue your pawn and persuade you. Dead.

Yu Tang nodded, her anxiety has eased a lot since she learned that her father bought this painting again.

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

She followed the shopkeeper Xiao Tong to the inner hall.

A gust of wind blew, and the camphor trees in the patio rattled, causing a few koi raised in the pond under the trees to emerge from under the water lily leaves.

Yu Tang couldn’t help slowing down, and after taking a few glances, he heard someone talking vaguely behind the half-covered glass fan on the opposite side.

She followed the reputation.

No faces were seen, only the figures of two men were seen through the crack of the door.

The fat one was Tong Gui, and she recognized it at a glance.

The tall one was wearing a azure-colored silk Taoist robe. He stood tall and straight, with his hands behind his back. From a distance, he could feel the bearing of Linyuan Zhiyue through the Taoist fan.

It should be a big client coming to the pawnshop.

Yu Tang came here incognito as something, afraid of revealing the contents, so he didn’t dare to read more, so he couldn’t help thinking secretly in his heart.

With such a good bearing, but he came to be a thing, and I don’t know who the son is…

She shook her head, inexplicably feeling a little pity.

After drinking two cups of tea, the shopkeepers Big and Little Tong actually came together.

“This little lady,” Mr. Tong said, holding the picture scroll she handed to Mr. Tong before, wiping his sweat, “this painting of yours is a fake.”

Fake painting?

!

Yu Tang stood up abruptly.

She knew that this Lu Xin was not a good thing!

In the previous life, her father bought his painting without refusing, and he even sold a real painting to her father.

In this life, her father did not want to buy his paintings, so he simply sold a fake painting to her father.

Yu Tang gritted his teeth.

But I have to admit in my heart that if it wasn’t for her intervention, this kind of thing would not have happened in this life.

Since it was her who got into trouble, she would naturally clean up the mess.

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

Yu Tang snatched the painting from shopkeeper Tong’s hand and said bitterly, “Thank you, shopkeeper Tong, for disturbing you.”

But the shopkeepers Tong looked at her blankly, as if frightened.

Yu Tang could only smile reluctantly.

When she resents Lu Xin, she resents Lu Xin, but she should not anger the shopkeeper Tong Da.

“I’m sorry!” she apologized, “I didn’t think it was a fake painting, it wasting your time.”

Big and little Tong shopkeepers are really good.

If it was someone else who took a fake painting as a pawn, it would have been taken out by the pawnshop as a touch of porcelain, and it would have been thrown on the street to make people laugh.

“No!” Shopkeeper Xiao Tong stammered, “You, your hood is off.”

What happened to the hijab?

It took Yu Tang a long time to react.

In order to come to the pawn shop, she deliberately found an old pair of double peach clothes. UU read www.sonicmtl.com Not to mention it, she also combed a woman’s hair and wore a pink velvet flower. Originally, she was thinking about whether to wipe it The powder made her face look haggard, but when she found the powder of Shuangtao, she disliked the powder used by Shuangtao was not delicate enough, and Shuangtao said to “Xie Fuxiang” to buy a new box, and she felt that she was for this flower. Two taels of silver are not worth it—two taels of silver are enough for her mother to take medicine for half a month.

Yu Tang pondered that he had just wrapped a bag in his previous life and went into the pawnshop and no one knew him, so he wrapped his head like in his previous life, but he forgot that he was just getting married now, and his face was as tender as a branch in March. The cherries are still green and charming, no matter how she looks like a child in adult clothes, even the blind can see that she is in disguise.

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

At noon in the midsummer, the sun was so hot 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 laying bare his clothes on a rocking chair and rocking a fan. The dog watching the shop lay listlessly beside the rocking chair. The quiet afternoon was even more dull.

Yu Tang came back to his senses.

She just asked the authenticity of the painting, but didn’t know where the fake was?

In case that Lu Xin denied it, 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 before came out at some point, and was talking to shopkeeper Tong: “You know how to lie at a young age. If you encounter such a thing in the future, you must not tolerate rape!”

Shopkeeper Tong stood in front of the man with a nod and bowed his head. He was about to agree, but when he looked up, he saw Yu Tang walking in.

He was tongue-tied, embarrassed.
