Before he knew it, the light in the room dimmed, and Yu Tang realized that the sun was already westward.
She got up, rubbed her sore and swollen eyes, went out and recruited a servant to ask: "Master Yu and Young Master Yu haven't come back yet?"
"No!" The boy replied, and Yu Tang saw the shopkeeper Tong Er walking in.
He is very similar to shopkeeper Tong Da, not because of his facial features, but because of his temperament, which gives people a very friendly and talkative feeling.
The innkeeper kept the accounts at the counter.
He asked the owner of the inn: "Is the proprietress here? How is Miss Yu's family? I have been thinking about coming to ask, but business is too busy today, so I can't get away."
Men and women are different.
The owner of the inn was also embarrassed to visit Yu Tang, and said: "It should be all right? I heard from the waiter in the store that Miss Yu's family went out to buy some things and came back—you can still go shopping, so it's probably fine." But he didn't know whether it was good or not. After saying this, he asked someone to call the proprietress to come out.
The proprietress smiled and said: "Okay, okay! It's just that the spirit is not very good. However, anyone who doesn't eat for a day will lose energy!"
"That's good." Shopkeeper Tong Er said with a sigh of relief, "The third master of our family already knows that I used his name card to invite a doctor for Miss Yu. If the third master asks about the situation of the Yu family , I also know how to answer!" Then he asked Yu Wen and Yu Yuanlai again, knowing that they had gone out early in the morning and hadn't come back, he said: "Then I won't visit Miss Yu, Yu Master and Young Master Yu are back, please tell them for me, I will visit them again tomorrow."
The boss and the proprietress agreed repeatedly, and sent shopkeeper Tong Er out.
Yu Tang was also embarrassed to go out to say hello, and turned back to his room.
When it was time to light the lamp, Yu Wen came back first.
He looked tired, and when the boss greeted him, his smile was a bit forced. He said a few words to the boss hastily and then went back to the room.
When Yu Tang heard the movement, he went to his father's house.
"Sit down!" The tiredness in Yu Wen's eyes seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. He stroked his forehead and said, "If you don't come to see me, I'm going to visit you too. How are you today? Does your stomach still hurt? ? What are you doing alone in the inn while we're away?"
Yu Tang answered one by one, then poured a cup of hot tea for his father, then sat beside his father, and said, "Did something happen to you?"
Yu Wen nodded, holding the teacup but did not drink tea, but stared blankly at Yu Tang, his eyes were deep and serious.
Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat.
According to their previous plan, in order not to attract attention, her father went to check on Lu Xin's affairs to see if there was anything strange about Lu Xin's death, while Yu Yuan went to the master surnamed Qian to see if he could help with his death. Another layer of the "Fishing in Pine Stream" is revealed. Now that Yu Yuan hasn't come back, I don't know how the master surnamed Qian will reply Yu Yuan, it's definitely not good news for Yu Wen.
She held her breath quietly, waiting for her father to figure out how to tell her about it.
Sure enough, Yu Wen was silent for a long time, before he said: "Ah Tang, you are right! Your Uncle Lu's death, I'm afraid your guess is really fulfilled!"
After receiving such information, Yu Tang's heart became more at ease. She said: "Could it be that Uncle Lu was killed by someone?"
"I don't know if he was killed by someone, but he shouldn't have died like this." Yu Wen carefully told Yu Tang what he found out, "Before your Uncle Lu died, you still owed the inn room. Qian and the wine money of the small restaurant at the entrance of the alley, and he just got in touch with the newly appointed Tixue Censor. The owner of the inn said that he has been recommended by the Tixue Censor, and he will go to the capital in two days The Imperial College has studied... "
Yu Tang frowned and said, "Could it be Lu Xiucai bragging?"
"Whether it's bragging or not, it's true that he's planning to go to the capital." Yu Wen said, "He also found a few acquaintances to contribute money, trying to settle the money for the accommodation and the wine. The inn is okay, but the owner of the small restaurant listened Said that he was leaving, afraid that he would sneak away without paying for the drink, and sent his son to follow your Uncle Lu. The owner of the small restaurant said that his son saw your Uncle Lu go back to the inn to rest that night, and he was afraid that you would be rude. Uncle was called out to play in the middle of the night, and the son of the owner of the small restaurant waited until the second watch drum was played, and he couldn't keep it any longer before going back.
"Who would have known that your Uncle Lu had drowned in the Taohua River not far from the inn early the next morning.
"I also asked the innkeeper, and the innkeeper swore that he didn't find your Uncle Lu going out."
Yu Tang shivered.
Yu Wen also looked sad.
Both of them felt that the situation was not good, and neither dared to continue the investigation to startle the snake, nor did they dare to pretend to be confused like this until disaster struck.
For a while, both father and daughter lost their minds.
Yu Wen had no choice but to comfort himself: "Maybe our thinking is too complicated, we will talk about it when A Yuan comes back."
People who do business like Master Qian are usually very afraid of making faces. Today when Yu Yuan went over, he didn't bring the painting with him. Instead, he invited a friend who had a very good personal relationship with that Master Qian to act as an intermediary, and tried to ask Master Qian to help him with this.
As for whether it will be successful or not, there are two opinions.
Yu Tang saw that his father was a little frustrated, so he could only say: "Father, you haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? I asked the proprietress to bring the food. The fish was fried in the store today, and I could smell the aroma even when I was sitting in the room."
This inn can include meals or order a la carte.
Yu Wen and the others don't know how things will be handled, and they can only order a la carte if there is no package meal.
"Let's wait for Ah Yuan to come back!" Yu Wen said lazily, Yu Yuan came back.
He was in high spirits, and said happily: "Uncle, Master Qian asked us to go there early tomorrow morning, and we can only give us a confirmation letter after seeing the painting."
This is also good news.
Yu Wen cheered up, but Yu Yuan still saw the clue.
Yu Wen didn't hide it from him, and told Yu Yuan what happened.
Yu Yuan looked serious and said, "Then we have to be more careful tomorrow."
Yu Wen sighed, and said, "Let's eat! Do your best and obey the destiny. Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."
Yu Tang hurriedly went to order a meal.
After dinner, we were supposed to go to Xiaohe Yujie Night Market, but everyone lost their mood and went back to their rooms early.
Yu Tang continued to make hair flowers, and didn't fall asleep until he heard the third watch drum.
When she got up the next day, she heard Yu Wen talking to the shopkeeper, and Yu Yuan had already left the door with the painting.
However, this time he came back quite early.
I came back before lunch and left the painting with Master Qian.
With bright eyes, he lowered his voice and said to Yu Wen and Yu Tang: "Master Qian has seen the painting, and said that the painting can be uncovered at least three layers, and asked how many layers we want to peel off. You’re not being polite, just let him peel off as many layers as you want, but it will cost five taels of silver more than what I said before, and I won’t be able to pick up the painting until tomorrow afternoon.”
Yu Wen has been depressed since he found out about Lu Xin yesterday, he simply said "OK" and gave Yu Yuan the money.
Yu Yuan took the silver and went out again.
