Looking at the gold-lettered signboard of the Yanmo Painting Gallery, Yue Ning said, "This painting gallery has a big background?"
As soon as Yue Ning returned to her residence, she naturally didn't know which restaurant was good or which painting gallery was good in the capital. As soon as she heard that she wanted to buy calligraphy and painting, Wei Qizhi immediately brought her here.
Wei Qizhi said, "There are many masters in this art gallery, in addition to painting for noble families in the capital, they also sell many famous calligraphy and paintings. Of course, there must be a reliable person to distinguish, because some calligraphy and paintings are copied by later generations. "
Just as Wei Qizhi finished speaking, a little boy walked out of the gallery and was surprised to see Wei Qizhi.
"Mr. Wei! Why is Mr. Wei here today?"
Wei Qizhi glanced at Yue Ning, but didn't expose Yue Ning's identity, just smiled and said, "Bring a friend to buy paintings, would you rather be here?"
The little boy said apologetically, "Master Ning has gone out. Today, the Duke of Zhongguo hosted a banquet and invited everyone to paint."
While talking, the little boy glanced at Yue Ning, and saw Yue Ning's tall figure and clear eyebrows. Although she was faintly beautiful, her demeanor was extraordinary. He quickly made a joke and invited the two to get in.
The dyed ink painting hall is extremely spacious. As soon as you enter the door, you can see that the main hall is full of paintings. At a glance, there are many famous calligraphy and paintings. When Yue Ning was slightly surprised, Wei Qizhi said, "These are all imitations, the county chief The authenticity of it is all inside."
Although Yue Ning is not good at calligraphy and painting, she was brought up by the Jiang family. She can't paint, but she can read. "These imitations are very real. The master who wants to paint is very skillful."
Wei Qizhi just smiled, "Most of these are from Master Ning."
Saying that, he waved the little boy back, and looked at Yue Ning casually.
The reason why many famous paintings of the former dynasty are famous paintings is mostly because the painters have superb painting skills, thus creating an artistic conception and charm that cannot be copied. Most people can tell the truth from the fake at a glance, but there are also some powerful painters who carefully grind everyone's painting skills and brushwork, coupled with their own skills, they can really prevent famous paintings by seven or eight, and some can even prevent them from painting. Difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Yue Ning looked at the paintings on the wall, and only thought that the paintings of Master Ning that Wei Qizhi said were very good.
Wei Qizhi also said, "This painting gallery was opened by Mrs. Ning. The most famous painter in the capital was invited into the palace to paint. He has his own paintings and also paints for others. These anti-paintings are for prevention. They were sold, and many of the paintings have disappeared. He also saw them from the rubbings, but they were painted by his hands, but the charm of the original works was depicted. Don't think that these paintings are all imitations. The price is also not low.”
Yue Ning followed Wei Qizhi and nodded while listening. She looked at it like this, and everyone Ning's painting skills are indeed good. After thinking about it, Yue Ning said, "What real paintings does he have here?"
An authentic work by a famous painter in the former dynasty is worth a lot of money, and Yue Ning is not very good at it, so naturally he had to ask a few more questions, Wei Qizhi listened and said, "I don't know if it's accurate, I know Cao Dejian from the previous dynasty "Picture of Cangsong" by Liu Qianshan, and "Picture of a Thousand Rivers Competing Flows" by Liu Qianshan. If you want to decorate the house, how about choosing two in the outer hall?"
Yue Ning really wanted to choose a painting for the Marquis of Anyang, but she would rather not have everyone here, so she gave up on this idea, and wanted to decorate the house, there is absolutely no reason to hang that famous painting at home, Wei Qizhi said just now Those two paintings, once received at home, can only be hidden in the bottom of the box and occasionally taken out to appreciate one or two.
"In that case, I'll pick and choose at will."
Yue Ning walked around and picked out a few paintings, two for Princess Taichang and two for Yue Qing, she also got a pair for herself, as for Jiang and Yue Qiong, just keep the original paintings in the mansion .
After buying the painting, Yue Ning left the dyeing ink painting gallery contentedly and got on the horse. Wei Qizhi took her to the next porcelain shop. Under the recommendation, I met two shopkeepers, and asked them to pick out two pieces, and then picked out a few ordinary decorations, so that the antique calligraphy and paintings were all bought.
Yue Ning came out alone with one horse, and all the things she bought were placed in Wei Qizhi's carriage. Wei Qizhi had no choice but to send the Buddha to the west, and sent Yue Ning to Anyang Marquis Mansion all the way. Before the gate of the mansion, Wei Qizhi Zhizhi refused to enter the mansion, Yue Ning asked, but knew that Wei Qizhi was in Yue Qingcai's mansion today, and Yue Ning couldn't let him go directly, so she asked Yue Qing to come out to receive Wei Qizhi, but Wei Qizhi couldn't help it. , just entered the Anyang Marquis Mansion, first went to see Princess Taichang and the Jiang family, and then talked with Yue Qing.
When Wei Qizhi entered the Marquis of Anyang, he ordered his servants to go to the magistrate's yamen to report, and when Zheng Baishi got the news, he ordered Zhan Yang to investigate. Soon, Zhan Yang got the news.
It was already evening when Qin Wan got the news, and she came back after staying in the Yamen for half a day. She had already left when Wei Qizhi's servant went to report, and it was Yan Chi who sent someone to inform her.
Bai Ying said, "The people who came said that they had found Zhao Jiaxu's concubine who was raised outside. That concubine had lived there for six months. Zhao Jiaxu bought it from a brothel. That girl was originally from an official family. Afterwards, because of the crime, the family fell into ruin, and was finally sold by the uncle of the family. Zhao Jiaxu was moved by seeing it, and redeemed her, and placed her in the small house in the alley. This matter has been hidden from Zhao Yushi. According to what Zhao Jiaxu said, he said that when the girl was pregnant and gave birth, he would take her home, so that Zhao Yushi would not be able to tolerate her, and Zhao Yushi would not have any children left, and Zhao Jia would be very unhappy."
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes. In this world, if a woman cannot have a boy after marriage, that is a crime.
"Can Zhanyang bring someone to ask?"
Bai Ying nodded, "Yes, I asked the girl about this. The girl is in a panic all day long, and she dare not go to Zhao Yushi. Although Zhao Jiaxu gave her money, the house is rented. She Now I'm planning to pack up my things and go back to the countryside so that I won't have to live in this capital city, but Zhao Jiaxu's case has not come to fruition, although this girl knows that Zhao Jiaxu may not really like her very much, but the two of them have been in the past six months Even with friendship, she still wanted to know what happened to Zhao Jiaxu, so she went to the Wei Mansion to ask about it that day."
This was discovered by Wei Qizhi, and Qin Guan was very surprised when he heard what Bai Ying said.
While talking, Yue Ning came.
Glancing at the sky outside, Qin Wan was a little surprised, and hurriedly greeted her, but Yue Ning was accompanied by Madam Yu to Songfengyuan, Qin Wan said, "Why are you here? It's almost dark now, isn't it? Grandma's body…”
Yue Ning smiled, "Don't worry, grandma is fine."
Yue Ning came in such a hurry, Qin Wan subconsciously felt that Princess Taichang fell ill and Yue Ning rushed to ask her to see a doctor.
Qin Guan breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the yard with Yue Ning on his arm, "Then why did you come here suddenly? I plan to go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow to see my grandmother and stepmother..."
Yue Ning said, "Last time I told you to bring me when you investigate the case, but you forgot."
Qin Wan laughed suddenly when he heard the words, "You came here for this?"
After entering the room, Yue Ning sat down and said, "Are you investigating the death of a teacher?"
Qin Wan was surprised, and said while pouring tea for Yue Ning, "How do you know?"
Yue Ning smiled deeply, "I went shopping today and met Wei Qizhi, what do you think Wei Qizhi is doing?"
When Qin Wan heard this, he knew what Yue Ning was talking about when he rolled his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "He can't be following some good woman..."
Yue Ning originally wanted to tell Qin Wan a story, but Qin Wan guessed it all at once. She immediately understood that Qin Wan knew about it!
"You actually know about this! Why are you so fast!"
Qin Wan smiled, "His Highness Chi sent someone to send the news. I went to the magistrate's office in the morning. I helped with the autopsy of this case, so I want to know some news now."
Yue Ning understood, Qin Wan asked again, "So, you saw Mr. Wei following someone else?"
Yue Ning nodded, "Not only did I see Mr. Wei stalking others, but I also followed him."
Qin Wan blinked, "You followed him?"
The smile on Yue Ning's face melted, and there was excitement that she had done something out of the ordinary, "Yes, I also know where that girl lives. When I met Wei Qizhi, I thought he was going to do something bad."
Yue Ning was the most jealous, Qin Wan couldn't help laughing, "Then did you step up and beat him up?"
Yue Ning raised her jaw slightly, "If he doesn't give an explanation, I will really beat him up."
Although Wei Qizhi is a man, he is of average force. If he really fights, he can't beat Wei Qizhi. Qin Wan didn't expect Yue Ning and Wei Qizhi to have such a fate, so he asked some more questions, Yue Ning said, "Later, he took me to buy calligraphy and painting and a few pieces of Wenwan porcelain. What's the name of the art gallery he went to?"
Qin Wan's eyes lit up slightly, "Is the boss Ning Buyi's master?"
Yue Ning asked in surprise, "You know that too?"
As soon as Qin Wan heard this, he knew that his guess was right, and said with a smile, "He is very famous in Beijing. I saw the paintings he made for other people's homes last time. His painting skills are very good. Although the paintings Skilled, but not put on airs, many people in the capital are willing to invite him to paint."
Yue Ning knew that what Wei Qizhi said was true.
"Then tell me, what's going on with this case? I know that one person died before this."
Nothing happened at the moment, let alone Yue Ning was asking her, so Qin Wan briefly explained the ins and outs of the case. What amazing purpose does the murderer behind the scenes have? How can Taoist Zhang be released after being arrested?"
"According to what Zhang Daoshi said, the murderer may be asking for something. If Zhang Daoshi wants to be released, he must catch this murderer and see if she is the murderer in the case six years ago. If she is, then he can be cleared of suspicion. "
Yue Ning frowned slightly, "This murderer is related to both families..."
Yue Ning was in a state of contemplation, Qin Wan shook her head and laughed, she told Yue Ning these things, but she didn't want to upset Yue Ning, "If you want to know, I can tell you, and I can tell you when I have the result, but you don't have to think about it yourself. The government will investigate this matter."
Yue Ning didn't know why, so she didn't ask any more questions, and said after a pause, "Your two older sisters are about to get married soon, have your uncle and aunt talked about your own affairs?"
Qin Wan keenly felt that something was wrong, and said first, "The empress dowager said that my marriage won her nod, so uncle and aunt can't do anything about it. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Yue Ning sighed, "Someone actually came to ask me for marriage!"
Qin Wan was slightly surprised, "Who? Who asked to marry you..."
Yue Ning shook her head, "I didn't ask, and my mother didn't agree, but I still know about it."
It turned out that Yue Ning didn't come here just to listen to the case. Seeing the worry on Yue Ning's face, Qin Wan pursed her lips slightly. Yue Ning's temperament was very different from ordinary girls, and she was a year older than herself. In Da Zhou's opinion, he has indeed reached the age to say goodbye, and even his original self has also reached the age to say goodbye.
"Then what do you think? You have to face this matter sooner or later."
Yue Ning leaned against the window with her cheeks propped up, and sighed, "Can't you not marry?"
Qin Wan didn't say anything. In Dazhou, there was only one kind of person who could not get married, and that was the nuns in the nunnery.
"I haven't seen anyone at this age who likes it a little bit?"
Qin Wan asked tentatively, Yue Ning turned to look at Qin Wan, "You also think you have to marry someone?"
Knowing that Yue Ning had misunderstood, Qin Wan hurriedly shook his head, "Why, how could I mean that, but you also know that in today's world, if you don't marry, you will be very difficult yourself, I naturally hope that you will get what you want .”
Yue Ning lay on the window sill, she thought for a while, among the women she knew, there was indeed no woman who was not married, and those who lived alone, either died of their husbands or were at odds with their husbands , but most of them are enduring the hardships of marriage, Yue Ning doesn't know what's the point of getting married.
"The best and the best is that you have someone you like, and the other person also likes you, and you can live the life of two people, so that you can get the best of both worlds. The usual thing is to choose a reliable husband-in-law, who has a good family background and excellent character." Well, even though you don't love him, he respects you. He may take concubines, but he will treat you like a guest for the rest of his life. Then there is what you said about not marrying. If Dazhou is really a place where women are allowed not to marry , not only you, me, but also many other women would never think of getting married, but in Dazhou, even if you try your best not to get married, you will end up as a celibate as you like, the world is terrible, far away Not as easy as we thought…”
Qin Wan spoke slowly and sincerely, and Yue Ning sighed, "My idea has become a bad idea."
Qin Wan smiled wryly. If she hadn't met Yan Chi, she might be just like what Yue Ning thought, not to mention that she was carrying a sea of blood and deep hatred on her body. After thinking about it, Qin Wan said again, "You are the princess, you want to be free In fact, there is a way to live a comfortable life, find a reliable person who can understand your thoughts and marry, although you are married, but in fact it is the same as not married, but you have changed your life, do you think this is good?"
Qin Wan understood Yue Ning's thoughts, but she didn't dare to persuade Yue Ning not to marry if she didn't want to, that's what a little girl would say, but now she understands the world.
Yue Ning thought for a while, and her face looked much better, "The idea you said is not bad. I believe there are men in the world who don't really want to marry a wife. Unfortunately, I don't know where this person is."
