Delicate Flower - Chapter 9

[Chapter 9 Fakes]

The man in Tsing Yi probably felt the strangeness of the shopkeeper Tong Da and turned around.

Yu Tang saw an extremely handsome and imposing face.

She gasped.

But she was quickly stabbed by the light indifference in the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi looking at her.

Yu Tang’s face was burning, and he couldn’t help but explain: “I didn’t come to be a fake painting, it was my father who bought a painting from a friend…”

The man in Tsing Yi didn’t believe her at all, regarded her as nothing, slightly raised his sharp jaw, nodded towards the shopkeeper Tong, and passed Yu Tang.

How could this be?

!

Yu Tang screamed in her heart, stunned for a while, she followed involuntarily, and said angrily, “I really didn’t come to touch porcelain…”

The Tsing Yi man looked back at her.

The dark eyes are clear and cool, like a deep pool in autumn, cold to the bone.

Yu Tang froze in his heart.

No amount of excuses got stuck in his throat.

She stayed where she was.

The shopkeeper Tong Da hurriedly chased after him, and diligently sent the man in Tsing Yi out of the door.

Only at this moment did Yu Tang realize that a Qingwei carriage had been parked outside the door.

Shopkeeper Tong took the footstool in person and wanted to serve the man in Tsing Yi to get into the carriage, but a thin man in black and short brown beside the carriage pulled the curtain of the carriage ahead of him.

The shopkeeper Tong was not annoyed, he bent down and took a few steps back, watching the carriage drive away, then he stood up straight and turned back to the pawnshop, smiling and saying: “Little lady, why did you come back? But there are What’s the matter?”

Yu Tang couldn’t help laughing at the shopkeeper Tong Da, and said, “Who was that son just now?”

The shopkeeper Tong Da smiled genially. He didn’t answer her question directly. Instead, he bent down and stretched out his hand to signal her to speak inside, and asked her with a smile, “What do you think the little lady has to say in the room?”

Yu Tang came back to his senses.

Although she has lived in two lifetimes, she has never seen someone more beautiful than the man in Tsing Yi, but she, a little girl, actually chased after others and asked who he was… Fortunately, the shopkeeper Tong is kind and did not ridicule her two. Otherwise, she would have to dig into the ground and sew.

Yu Tang was stunned, and hurriedly handed the painting to the shopkeeper Tong, and sincerely asked for advice, saying: “Boss, you say this painting is fake, what evidence is there?”

Shopkeeper Tong Da was taken aback.

Shopkeeper Xiao Tong probably thought she was here to look for trouble, so she hurried forward a few steps to stop Shopkeeper Tong behind, and said, “Little lady, our pawnshop is a century-old brand in Lin’an Mansion, so you can name our surname as soon as you speak. Tong, I must have inquired about it. Our shop has never done such a thing as stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix. If you don’t believe it, you can check the painting carefully. How did you bring it in, and how we returned it to you. Although the “Picture of Fishing in the Pine Creek” is a famous painting, it’s not like we haven’t seen good things in our pawnshop, and we can’t do it because your painting has ruined the reputation.”

Yu Tang’s face flushed with embarrassment, and he hurriedly said, “No, no. I’m not suspecting that you are stealing. It’s this painting, and it was sold to our family by someone else. I just want to know what’s wrong with this painting. It’s time to find that person!”

The shopkeepers Big and Little Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

The shopkeeper Xiao Tong said quickly and eloquently: “You shouldn’t be greedy for petty gains – how many years our Pei family’s pawn shop has been in business, and we have never forced others to live and die. If he really lacks money, why doesn’t he bring us? Here it is…”

“Did you talk to the guests like this?” Master Tong reprimanded the storekeeper Xiao Tong, interrupted the storekeeper Xiao Tong, thought for a while, and said, “It’s not entirely right to say that this painting is fake. ”

Yu Tang was refreshed and said, “What do you say?”

Shopkeeper Tong Da said: “Little lady may not know that the ancient paintings that can be handed down are mostly painted on rice paper. This rice paper has two characteristics. One is that it has excellent ink absorption, that is, it can penetrate the back of the paper. Another feature is that it is made by repeatedly drying several layers of pulp.

Framing masters who are skilled at home can usually peel off the rice paper layer by layer.

Why do you say that this ancient painting is a fake rather than a fake painting?

We just showed it to the gentleman in the shop who specializes in ancient paintings. This painting of yours is indeed made by Li Tang.

But the top layer was uncovered, yours is the one below, so you see—”

He said, opened the scroll, and pointed it to Yu Tang: “Here, here, obviously it was added later, and there is a little bit of ethereal wind…”

Isn’t it because of the seal?

Yu Tang was a little bewildered.

Shopkeeper Tong looked at Yu Tang’s tender face, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, and said sympathetically: “If the little lady wants to be this painting, it’s not impossible. It’s just that you can’t be a few silver.”

Hearing this, Yu Tang pointed to the seal with “Merlin” on the painting and said, “Is there any problem with this seal?”

Shopkeeper Tong Da listened and gave her a deep look.

Yu Tang shouted bad in his heart.

She asked this question, clearly wanting to make it clear – since she suspected that there was something wrong with the seal and knew that the painting was inappropriate, she had to take it to the pawnshop as a pawn…

Yu Tang looked at shopkeeper Tong Da’s face again, and sure enough, the spring breeze was no longer the same as before.

She hurriedly said: “No. I think since this painting is collected by Master Zuo, there should be no mistake…”

It’s just that shopkeeper Tong doesn’t believe her anymore, with a businessman’s unique courtesy and estrangement on his face, and said with a smile: “Little lady is right, this painting did end up in the hands of Lord Zuo, but little lady This painting is indeed a fake, sorry we can’t accept it at the pawnshop. If the little lady has any good things, just come and visit us.”

Shopkeeper Xiao Tong simply saw off the guests in person.

Yu Tang was so dizzy with anger that she didn’t know how she got back.

After I went back, I drank two cups of large-leaf coarse tea, and then I was relieved.

Hello Ruxin!

After taking the money from their family and wanting to run away, how can such a good thing happen?

!

Yu Tang called A Tiao over, gave him a dozen copper coins, and instructed him: “Go and find out the whereabouts of Lu Xiucai, don’t let my father know.”

A Tiao often buys snacks for Yu Tang behind Yu Wen and Chen’s back.

In the afternoon, he worriedly came to report to Yu Tang: “Did Mr. Lu do something? He pawned the house to others, saying that he was going to the capital to marry a relative. But even if there are relatives in the capital, can he live in a relative’s house for the rest of his life? Can’t it?”

In the previous life, Lu Xin never returned to Lin’an Mansion.

Yu Tang sneered and said, “Then has he left?”

“Everyone thought he was gone,” A Tiao said shrewdly, “but I found out, he has a relationship in Hua’er Lane, and he has been living in Hua’er Lane these few days, I’m afraid he can’t bear that relationship.”

Yu Tang’s mind quickly turned around for a while, sighed, and bowed to the west, called A Tiao over, and told him for a long time.

Hua’er Lane is on the back of Changxing Street. It is a winding alley leading to Changxing Street in the east and Fuya Street in the west. There are thick camphor trees planted on both sides. Yan’s, the voice is full of people.

Due to the flooding of Changxing Street, the shops were all burned down, and the ruins were unsightly, so some people covered the crossing leading to Changxing Street with rain cloths, leaving only the road leading to Fuya Street.

At night, when Hua’er Lane was at its busiest, a carriage stopped in front of Aunt Chu’s yard, hula-la down, seven or eight women with big arms and round waists rushed into the yard with clubs in hand.

Everyone was an old hand in Fengyue Lane. When they saw this style, they knew that there was a trouble in the main room. They excitedly gathered around from the third floor and the third floor, watching the jokes.

Aunt Chu’s yard was banging and banging, and a tall woman grabbed Lu Xin’s collar and walked out of the yard. Just drinking flower wine, why did you pawn the house for the sister in the yard? Where do you want us to live in the future? What to eat? What to drink? ”

Lin’an City is not big or small, not to mention that Lu Xin likes to be busy, and he has to join forces wherever he goes, and there are many people who recognize him.

Seeing this scene, they all burst into laughter.

Someone said: “No wonder Lu Xiucai runs into the yard every day. It turns out that the women in his family are big and three thick. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stay.”

Some people also wondered: “Didn’t it mean that after Lu Xiucai’s previous wife died, he didn’t marry again, and he had no children? Where did this woman come from?”

Someone guessed: “Maybe they are also good friends, but one is in the yard and the other is raised outside.”

Lu Xin was so angry that his mouth was crooked. The woman who didn’t know where came from, and the trouble came in front of him. He wanted to explain a few words, but he was caught by the collar, and he couldn’t say a word. He dragged it all the way to the carriage, stuffed a bunch of rags in his mouth, and drove out of Hua’er Alley.

I’m afraid that this matter will be discussed by the people of Lin’an for a lifetime.

Lu Xin cracked and chewed his teeth.

If you let him know who is plotting against him, he will never make him feel better!

The carriage stopped at the intersection of Changxing Street.

Lu Xin was dragged off the carriage.

The moonlight shone on the broken beams and tiles on Changxing Street, and the shadows were all desolate. The whistling, laughing and singing from the next door Hua’er Lane was a bit weird, making his scalp numb and his legs trembling.

“You, what are you doing?” Lu Xin shuddered.

Yu Tang wrapped her head and walked out from the shadow of the broken wall.

Lu Xin recognized her at a glance.

He jumped up as if his tail had been trampled, and accused: “Why are you? What do you want to do? I’m going to ask your father to judge!”

Yu Tang said with a half-smiling smile, “Why are you asking my father to judge! I’ll go to the yamen with you to judge and judge!”

Lu Xin was stunned.

Yu Tang threw the painting at Lu Xin’s feet: “Didn’t you say that this is Li Tang’s “Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture” from the previous dynasty? The shopkeeper Tong of Pei’s pawnshop happened to be close to my family, so I’ll take it I gave shopkeeper Tong a thumbs up. Others shopkeeper Tong can say that this is a fake, and it is worth three or five taels at most. Either I go to the yamen with you, or you can return the money that lied to my father! ”

Lu Xin jumped his feet: “You are a little girl, pulling a tiger’s skin as a banner, and you want to use the Pei family to suppress me?! What kind of family is your family? I don’t know yet? If you say it is a fake, it is a fake. I also said you Stealing the pillars, taking my paintings and not wanting to give them money, framing me for selling fake paintings to your family.”

The woman pressed Lu Xin to the ground again with all her strength.

Yu Tang said disdainfully: “I also know that you won’t admit it, and I don’t expect you to admit it. We’ll go to the yamen at dawn, and I’ve asked shopkeeper Tong to testify. It can’t be true, it can’t be true. Waiting for a lawsuit to fall apart!”
