"No!" Yu Wen rejected Yu Tang without even thinking about it.
Both Yu Tang and Yu Yuan looked at Yu Wen in astonishment.
Yu Wendao: "If Ah Tang's guess is correct, eight or nine out of ten of Lu Xin's death are related to this painting, and we don't even know who is behind it, so how can the third master of the Pei family get involved in such troubles? "
Yu Tang's face was hot.
She only thought that Pei Yan was the big winner in her previous life, but she forgot that Pei Yan in her previous life hadn't been involved in their family's affairs, and she didn't even know her.
Father was right.
This painting has already cost a life, and they cannot selfishly drag Pei Yan into the water.
It was only at this time that Yu Tang realized that his path had gone a bit astray.
She said sincerely, "Father, what should we do then?"
"You let me think about it!" Yu Wen smiled wryly.
It can be seen that he has nothing to do.
Yu Tang thought of Lu Xin.
He probably didn't know that there was such a secret hidden in this painting, did he? Otherwise, he would not have lost his life.
After she returns to Lin'an, she should go burn incense for him.
Yu Tang sighed quietly, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
She tentatively said: "Father, why don't we let Uncle Lu take the blame? Anyway, he was the one who provoked this matter, and the Lu family and his family have no ties to him. If there is no relationship, we won't be implicated."
Yu Wen really had no other choice, thinking that the three cobblers were as good as Zhuge Liang, and Yu Tang had been clever since he was a child, so maybe he could really come up with some good ideas, so he said: "You tell me and I'll listen. "
Yu Tang cheered up, and said: "Think about it, Uncle Lu lost his life because of this, those people must have come to look for Uncle Lu, either they knew that the painting came to our house, or Uncle Lu didn't know about the painting in the painting. Secret, nothing clear. I figured, whether it's the former or the latter, our first priority is to get our family out of here. We might as well just give them the painting."
"I understand what you said," Yu Wen said, "but the question is how to give them this painting?"
Yu Tang smiled and said: "Didn't we come to Hangzhou City? When we go back, we might as well tell others that we are here to pick up Uncle Lu's belongings. Didn't those people find nothing in our house? They heard this , will definitely find a way to get Uncle Lu's relics. We will tell the public that we will burn all Uncle Lu's relics to him... "
"Huh!" Yu Yuan said with bright eyes, "This is a good idea! They will definitely find a way to get these so-called relics, why don't we give this painting away?"
Yu Tang nodded repeatedly, agreed with Yu Yuan, and said to Yu Wen: "Don't you tell me that the painting is a map. Ordinary people have never heard of it, let alone read it. It's normal for us not to know each other. At that time, we said that we didn’t know what kind of mess it was, so we could get it out of it.”
"It makes sense." Yu Wen swept away the depression just now, walked around the room with a smile, and said, "However, the matter is of great importance, and we still have to think long-term."
But the general direction can't be wrong.
Yu Tang and Yu Yuan felt relieved, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Yu Wen murmured there: "We just have to find a way to hide it from those people, so that they don't know that we know the secret of this painting." Having said this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and said to Yu Yuan: "This matter We still have to trouble Master Qian to find a way to restore the painting."
"Father!" Yu Tang interrupted Yu Wen, and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to restore it—everyone knows that our family bought Uncle Lu's "Fishing in the Pine River"."
yes! What if someone asks about their family's "Fishing in Pine Stream"
Yu Wen asked Yu Yuan: "Since Master Qian is in this business, can you ask him to see if he knows a master of copying ancient paintings. We asked someone to copy a picture of "Fishing in Pine Stream" to release us. home."
In this way, nothing will be lost.
Yu Yuan smiled and said, "If you want to get a big ax in front of Lu Ban's door, it's better to invite Master Qian—he is a master in this field."
"Great!" Yu Wen said, "Just now I was worried that too many people would be involved and I wouldn't be able to keep the secret."
Yu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't know how many times Master Qian has seen such things, otherwise he wouldn't have called me over as soon as he found that the painting on the interlayer was not right."
Yu Wen nodded and said: "Then do it like this!"
Yu Yuan accepted the painting in response, and prepared to rush to Master Qian immediately: "Before the sun is bright, we can get this matter done as soon as possible, so that we can feel at ease and return to Lin'an as soon as possible."
But Yu Tang stopped Yu Yuan, and said to Yu Wen: "Father, there is no need to rush this matter. I was thinking, since Master Qian is an expert in this field, and he doesn't bother two masters with one thing, we might as well ask him to help with it." This map is also copied."
"Ah Tang," Yu Wen disagreed, and said, "We can't get involved in this matter anymore, we can stay as far away as we can. No matter what secrets are in it, we don't want to peep. Sometimes, knowing The more you have, the faster you die, and the worse you die."
Yu Tang said warmly: "Father, I also understand this truth. But I feel that it is better to rely on ourselves than anyone else. It is good that we can hand over the painting smoothly like this, but what if those people don't believe us at all? Do we still expect them to be merciful? We must not have the heart to harm others, and we must not have the heart to guard against others!"
This is the lesson she learned after marrying into the Li family.
It was also the decision she made after her rebirth.
When the mountains and mountains fall, and when the water runs dry, only by holding the right to speak in your own hands can you be invincible forever.
"Father," she advised Yu Wen, "just listen to me this time! Don't be afraid of anything, just in case. If those people know that we have discovered the secret of this painting, will they kill people to silence it? Will you suspect that the painting is fake? We have to know the reason for all this, right? Just like Uncle Lu, if he knew that there was something else in this painting, would he still end up like this? Others don’t know, but we do. Yes. He really doesn't know the secret in this painting, but have those people let him go?"
Both Yu Wen and Yu Yuan stared at her blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
But Yu Tang didn't back down in the eyes of her father and brother. She stood up straight and let them look at her. She used this attitude to tell them that she had made up her mind and would not change it easily. She also wanted to pass this matter. Let her father and brother rest assured that she has grown up and can take care of things.
After a long time, Yu Wen's serious gaze was stained with a slight smile.
He glanced at Yu Yuan, and suddenly said: "The Yu family, I will hand it over to you brothers and sisters from now on. Your father and I are getting old, afraid of things, and unable to keep up with the changes in the world."
"Daddy!"
"uncle!"
Yu Tang and Yu Yuan said in unison.
Yu Wen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't think I'm talking about frustration, I'm just happy. It can be seen that what the old ancestor said still makes sense. Whether this person can do it or not depends on whether he can stand it at the critical moment. You are all children who can stand up to things at critical times, I am very relieved." After speaking, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Then do it!"
Yu Yuan and Yu Tang hurriedly said in unison: "Keep your voice down! Walls have ears!"
Yu Wen laughed out loud, stopped abruptly after laughing twice, and said in a low voice: "I listen to you, I listen to you."
Yu Tang and Yu Yuan looked at each other and smiled again, seeing joy in each other's eyes. Yu Tang even felt that because of this incident, the relationship between her and her eldest cousin suddenly became much closer.
While tidying up those paintings, Yu Yuan asked Yu Tang jokingly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Because of the concerted efforts of her father and brother, Yu Tang's brain turned faster, she said: "Father, I have an idea about the map."
Yu Wen listened, became interested, and said: "Tell me!"
Yu Yuan was not in a hurry anymore, and sat down at the table again.
The three of them talked around the bean-like oil lamp.
Yu Tang said: "Father, I think some of Uncle Lu's words are quite correct. For example, his father used to be Zuo Guangzong's assistant to Mr. Zuo. Maybe this painting really belongs to Mr. Zuo."
As for whether it was given as a gift or obtained by other means, no one knows.
Yu Tang said: "So I think, if you inquire about maps, you'd better go to Beijing or Fujian."
Hearing this, Yu Wen lifted his spirits, and said: "You mean... the capital hides dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many knowledgeable people; Mr. Zuo is a famous general who fought against the Japanese, and there are many old troops in Fujian?"
"I even think it might be more rewarding to go to Fujian." Yu Tang continued, "Except for Mr. Zuo, it is impossible for the Lu family to get this painting. If so, Mr. Zuo has been dead for more than ten years, and the map is gone. , when Master Zuo was alive, someone should have pursued it. This incident has only happened now, and it must not be someone from the court who is pursuing it... "
It must be very dangerous then!
But what if this pot can't be shaken off
They must prepare early.
Both Yu Wen and Yu Yuan knew the meaning of her unfinished words.
Yu Tang continued: "Water is drawn on this map, which is either related to the river or to the sea. As for what we will say at that time, anyway, we have to ask Master Qian to help copy this painting and this map, why not just do it Let’s be more straightforward. We keep the original painting and regard the copied one as Uncle Lu’s relic. We then divide the original painting into several copies, and ask one of them quietly, saying that we accidentally found this painting when sorting out Uncle Lu’s relics. Picture, please tell those people what is drawn on this picture, and roughly where is it drawn? No, it’s fine!”
The most urgent thing now is to prepare the things that need to be prepared in case of emergencies.
"That's right!" Yu Wen clapped his hands, "That's the way to go! Get the painting ready first, so that we don't get caught unprepared."
"But don't force it." Yu Tang told his father, "This matter can be big or small. Saving your life is the most important thing."
"Don't worry, I still want to watch you recruit a good son-in-law!" Yu Wen teased his daughter.
Yu Tang smiled at his father, but he couldn't relax.
She had a faint feeling that the mountains and rains were about to come and the wind filled the building.
She only hopes that the storm will not affect more people.
Yu Yuan gave Yu Tang a thumbs up appreciatively.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled at him.
The lights were crackling, and Yu Wen said to Yu Tang and Yu Yuan seriously: "Just as A Tang said. I asked Master Qian to help me make three paintings, one of which was restored according to the "Pine River Fishing for Hidden Picture" we sent over earlier, One is a copy of "Fishing in the Songxi" and the other is a copy of that map. We keep it as it is. First try to figure out a way to see if we can know what the map is about. Go to the capital. I’m going to find someone I know before, to see if anyone is going to Fujian, and there’s someone I know who I know to ask for news when I go to Fujian.”
This will probably cost a lot of money at home.
And Yu Yuan, the shop on Changxing Street will be completed by the end of the year, and the Yu family's lacquerware shop will reopen at the end of the year, Yu Yuan will help in the shop, who will accompany her father when the time comes
All these incidents gave Yu Tang a headache.
But Yu Yuan didn't know Yu Tang's worry. Seeing that things were well arranged, he got up happily, hid the three paintings close to his body, and went out.
Yu Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Whatever she can think of and do, she does her best.
Do your best and obey the destiny!
Yu Tang was thinking about it in his heart, and then he felt that he was so hungry that he couldn't straighten up.
She asked Yu Wen for help: "Father, I shouldn't have to fast, right? I can drink three bowls of porridge now."
After this matter was settled, Yu Wen became relaxed and happy, and teased his daughter: "Huh, what else do you think you can eat? After fasting, you can only drink plain porridge, and you can only drink it step by step. Drink a bowl first, and then you can eat it when you are all right." Tim. I told the proprietress yesterday that she will make you some white porridge this morning."
Yu Tang glanced at the gradually turning white sky, and wailed: "But Dad, it's not dawn yet, and the kitchen doesn't know if the porridge is cooked, I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy, can you go and buy it for me? Two meat buns, I saw them when I went out yesterday, the place where we got off the boat is not far in front of Pei’s pawn shop, it’s a small wharf on Xiaoheyu Street, there must be early morning ones selling them there, meat buns are not good, Tofu flower is also fine! Daddy, I beg you!"
Yu Wen chuckled and went to buy breakfast for Yu Tang.
Yu Tang was lying in front of the window, waiting for Yu Wen pitifully.
Yu Wen not only bought tofu flower back, but also bought meat buns back.
Yu Tang's eyes sparkled with stars.
But Yu Wen put the tofu flower in front of Yu Tang, and said: "This is yours!" Then he stuffed a meat bun into his mouth, and said in an inarticulate voice, "This is mine."
Yu Tang wanted to cry but had no tears, so he drank the tofu flower listlessly.
Fortunately, her father didn't completely ignore her. The tofu flower was sweet after all, which gave her some strength.
As for the white porridge cooked by the proprietress, she didn't waste it, and drank it all.
Yu Wen also stimulated her: "You stay here to make head flowers, remember to make one for your mother too. I plan to go to the night market on Xiaohe Yujie with your brother at night, and I will tell you when I come back."
Yu Tang pretended to stick the needle on the calyx of the first flower with a feint of resentment, but his heart was filled with sugar water, and tears glistened at the corners of his eyes.
With my father and brother by my side and my mother waiting, such a day is the real happiness!
