Yu Wen felt that it was his fault, and when questioned by his daughter, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and whispered: "A Tang, although your mother needs to take medicine now, she doesn't have to go to the capital, so I will treat the money as if I brought it with you." Your mother went to the capital. Besides, you can also see how Uncle Lu treats our family. How can I only care about my family at this time and ignore his life and death? "
Yu Tang was extremely angry, and said: "Is he at a critical moment now? Can he not survive without these two hundred taels of silver?"
"It's about the same!" Yu Wen said, "Your Uncle Lu offended the Pei family, so he can't stay in Lin'an Mansion any longer. He will start Enke again next year, and he can't get good recommendations, so it's hard for him to improve his studies. "
Yu Tang knew about this kind of thing.
Officials who are committed to office are usually willing to benefit one party. When local scholars came to Beijing for scientific examinations, they would write famous posts to acquaintances or close friends of officials, asking them to help arrange accommodation or even give advice on their studies, in order to get a title 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 he probably won't be able to use it, right? Besides, the Pei family always likes to help their neighbors. What happened to offend the Pei family, didn't Father think about it carefully?"
Yu Wen obviously didn't want to talk more, he 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 repayment for saving your mother's life, so you don't want to Pursued."
Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Yu Tang say.
She said bitterly: "What about painting?"
After all, the painting is an antique, and it is worth some money. If the family can't afford the money for the mother's medicine in the future, the painting can be pawned.
Yu Wen handed the scroll to Yu Tang flatteringly.
Yu Tang spread the picture scroll on the desk, and muttered in a low voice: "It means you are easy to talk to. Two hundred taels of silver, if he takes it to a pawn shop, he can pawn a hundred taels of silver at most..."
Before she finished speaking, her eyes widened.
This is not the "Picture of Fishing in Pine Stream" that she often took out to look at in her previous life.
In her previous life, after her parents had an accident, this painting was left at home and forgotten. It wasn't until she got married that the elder uncle thought that the Li family she was going to marry was a scholar, and wanted to buy some calligraphy and paintings for her as a dowry to make her dowry more decent, so the painting was found again. And because her parents' accident was related to this painting, she regarded it as a thought, kept it carefully, and took it out to look at it from time to time.
She remembered very clearly that this painting had twenty-three seals, the last two seals were "Chunshuitang" and "Slender Plum Weng", "Chunshuitang" was built next to "Slender Plum Weng", At this time, the seal of "Chunshuitang" should have been stamped with "Mei Lin".
This painting is fake!
Yu Tang was furious, and said, "Father, Lu Xin is a villain!"
Seeing his daughter slandering his friend repeatedly, Yu Wen felt a little unhappy, walked over, and was about to collect the picture scroll and put it away, while saying: "You child, how do you talk? No one in the world has flaws, so don't always complain about it." It's not that you can't let go of your Uncle Lu, it depends on the person, it depends on the main..."
"No!" Yu Tang interrupted his father, preventing his father from rolling up the scroll, pointing to the seal with "Mei Lin" on it and said, "Father, look, there should be a 'Chunshuitang'..."
Yu Wen laughed, and said: "On weekdays you are asked to read and you don't read, now it's a joke! I don't know whose seal 'Chun Shui Tang' is, but this 'Mei Lin' is Mr. Zuo's private seal. In the past, I I have also studied Master Zuo’s manuscripts and seals. The one in your Uncle Lu’s house was given by Master Zuo to his late father. It would be strange not to have this seal? Look, this ‘Slender May Weng’ is your Uncle Lu Father's nickname."
Yu Tang was completely confused.
Could it be that the famous painting she used to play with in her last life was fake
Yu Tang was not reconciled, she asked Yu Wen to find someone to identify it.
Yu Wen disagreed: "Your father is not good at reading, and you won't lose your eye no matter what when you appraise a few ancient paintings from the previous dynasty."
The confusion in Yu Tang's heart is getting bigger and bigger.
In her previous life, after she married into Li's family, there was a robbery in the family. Later, when everyone counted the belongings, she was the only one who lost two or three pieces of gold jewelry. At that time, she wondered why someone stole only this little thing from the Li family's high-walled compound.
Could it be that the painting had been stolen by then
Yu Tang didn't want to think about the days in the Li family, but she couldn't deny that it was a knot in her heart. Especially the resentment towards everyone in the Li family would make her tremble with anger and speechless.
no!
She can't just pretend like nothing happened.
Yu Tang asked Yu Wen for "Fishing in the Pine Stream" to watch, but secretly took the painting to Pei's pawnshop.
The Pei family only opened one pawn shop in Lin'an.
At the crossroads in front of Lin'anfu Wharf.
The shopkeeper is still the chubby Tong Gui.
In his previous life, Yu Tang served as a lot of dowry in his hands.
She covered her head, dressed as a country woman, and quietly entered the pawn shop.
Shopkeeper Tong was not there, and Tong Hai, the son of Shopkeeper Tong, was guarding the cabinet.
Like Tong Gui, he is also fat and white, and now he is only a weak crown, and he is already smiling when he sees people, very amiable.
Yu Tang handed over the painting, and said in a low voice, "It's a job."
Tong Hai accepted the painting with a smile, and opened the scroll casually, but his expression froze the moment he saw the scroll. Although he immediately put on a smiling face, the shock on his face was captured by Yu Tang.
It can be seen that Tong Hai has developed a pair of good eyesight at this time.
"Wait a minute, little lady, please go to the inner hall for a cup of tea first." He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "You are treating this as an antique calligraphy and painting, and the price must be seen by the guest in our shop."
Why do you say that Pei's pawn shop is fair and just? When many pawnshops see you pawning something, they will cheat you first, asking how much silver you want to pawn, and no matter how much silver you want to pawn, they will be able to devalue the thing you want to pawn, and persuade you die.
Yu Tang nodded, the anxiety since knowing that his father bought the painting has eased a lot.
Her fortune is so wonderful, everything is changing, at least she is familiar with the Pei family's pawnshop, and the big and small shopkeepers of the pawnshop are still the same as before.
She followed shopkeeper Xiao Tong to the inner hall.
A gust of wind blew by, and the camphor tree in the courtyard rattled, causing a few koi carp raised in the pond under the tree to emerge from under the water lily leaves.
Yu Tang couldn't help slowing down his pace, took a few glances, but 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 is Tong Gui, she recognized it immediately. The tall one was wearing a blue-colored silk Taoist gown, with a tall and straight figure, standing with his hands behind his back, and from a distance, he could feel the aura of facing the abyss and standing up to the mountains through the Taoist fan.
It should be that a big client came to the pawn shop.
Yu Tang came here incognito as a thing, afraid of revealing his secrets, he didn't dare to look at it, and couldn't help thinking about it in his heart.
He has such a good manner, but he comes here as a thing, and I don't know whose family it is...
She shook her head, inexplicably feeling a little pity.
After drinking two cups of tea, shopkeepers Big and Little Tong came hand in hand.
"This little lady," Da shopkeeper Tong wiped the sweat from the picture scroll she handed to shopkeeper Xiao Tong before, "Your painting is a fake."
Fake painting? !
Yu Tang suddenly stood up.
She knew that this Lu Xin was not a good guy!
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 was unwilling to buy his painting, 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 she hadn't intervened, this kind of thing would not have happened in this life.
Since she caused the trouble, it is natural for her to clean up the mess.
If you don't want to get back 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 interrupting."
Shopkeeper Tong and Tong looked at her blankly, as if frightened.
Yu Tang could only forcefully smile.
When she resented Lu Xin, she resented Lu Xin, but she shouldn't blame the shopkeeper Tong Da.
"I'm sorry!" she apologized, "I didn't think it was a fake painting, and I wasted your time."
Big and little shopkeepers Tong are really good at self-restraint. If someone else had used a fake painting as a pawn, it would have been thrown out on the street by the pawnshop as a porcelain, and made a joke for people to see.
"No!" Shopkeeper Xiao Tong stuttered, "You, your headscarf fell off."
What happened to the hijab
It took Yu Tang a while to react.
In order to come to the pawn shop, she purposely found an old dress from Shuangtao. Not to mention, she also combed a woman's hair and wore a pink velvet flower. Originally, she was thinking about putting some powder on to make her face look haggard. , but when she found Shuangtao’s powder, she felt that the powder used by Shuangtao was not delicate enough. Shuangtao said to go to “Xie Fuxiang” to buy a new box, and she felt that it was not worth spending two taels of silver for it—two taels The money is enough for her mother to take medicine for half a month.
Yu Tang was thinking about his past life when he wrapped his head casually and put it in a pawn shop, but no one knew him, so he was ashamed to cover his head like in his previous life, but he forgot that he has just reached the age of hairpin now, and his face is as tender as a branch that just bears fruit in March The cherries are still green and delicate, no matter how you look at them, you look like a child in adult clothes, even the blind can tell that she is disguised.
Yu Tang's face was flushed red, he covered his head indiscriminately, grabbed the painting scroll and left the pawn shop.
At noon in midsummer, the sun was so hot that people couldn't keep their eyes open.
There was no one on the pier, and under the eaves of the shop next door, there was a shopkeeper lying on a rocking chair with his clothes bare and shaking a cattail fan. The quiet afternoon was even more dull.
Yu Tang came back to his senses.
She just asked whether the painting was true or not, but she didn't know where the painting was fake
In case Na Luxin denies it, what should she say
Yu Tang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and went back to the pawnshop again.
In the pawn shop, the man in Tsing Yi she saw before came out at some point, and was talking to shopkeeper Tong Da: "You know how to deceive people at a young age, and if you encounter such a thing in the future, you must not tolerate it!"
Shopkeeper Tong nodded and stood in front of the man, about to make a promise, when he looked up and saw Yu Tang walking in.
He was tongue-tied and embarrassed.
