Delicate Flower

Chapter 9 Fake

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

Yu Tang saw an extremely handsome and imposing face.

She suffocated her breath.

But soon he was stabbed by the indifference in the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi when he looked at her.

Yu Tang’s face was hot, and he couldn’t help explaining: “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 it at all, and treated her as if there was nothing. He raised his clearly defined chin slightly and nodded towards the shopkeeper Tong, and passed by Yu Tang.

How could this be? !

Yu Tang screamed in his heart, stunned for a long time, involuntarily followed, and angrily said: “I really didn’t come to touch porcelain…”

The man in Tsing Yi glanced back at her.

The jet-black eyes are clear and dredged, cool and long, like a deep pond in autumn, cold to the bones.

Yu Tang’s heart shuddered.

No amount of excuses were stuck in his throat.

She stayed in place.

The treasurer Tong hurried after him, and graciously sent the man in Tsing Yi out the door.

Yu Tang found out at this time that a green carriage had been parked outside the door.

The shopkeeper Tong took the footstool personally to serve the man in Tsing Yi to get on the carriage, but a thin man in black and short brown next to the carriage lifted the curtain first. The shopkeeper Tong was not annoyed. He bent down and backed up a few steps, watching the carriage “decently” drive away. Then he stood up straight and turned back to the pawnshop and said with a smile, “Little lady, why did you turn back? What matters?”

Yu Tang couldn’t help but smile at the shopkeeper Tong Da, and said, “Who was that young man just now?”

The shopkeeper Tong smiled kindly and did not directly answer her question. Instead, he bent over and stretched out his hand to signal her to talk inside, and smiled and asked her: “What can I say to the little lady in the house.”

Yu Tang came back to his senses.

Although the two generations are human, she has not seen anyone better-looking than the man in Tsing Yi, but she is a little girl’s family, and she actually chases after others and asks who he is… Fortunately, the treasurer Tong is kind and does not mock her , Otherwise she would have to go and sew in the ground.

Yu Tang rushed to hand the painting to the shopkeeper Tong, sincerely asked for advice, and said: “Big shopkeeper, you said this painting is fake, what evidence is there?”

The shopkeeper Tong was taken aback.

The shopkeeper Xiao Tong might think she’s here to look for something, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the shopkeeper Tong behind him, saying: “Little lady, we are a century-old **** shop in Lin’an Mansion. You can tell us our last name as soon as you speak. Tong, I must have inquired about it too. We never do that in our shop. If you don’t believe it, you can check the painting carefully, how you got it in, and how we returned it to you. Although “Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture” is a famous painting, it is not that our pawnshop has never seen good things. We can’t do it for the sake of your painting’s reputation.”

Yu Tang flushed with shame, and said hurriedly, “No, no. I don’t suspect that you are stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix. It is this painting, which was sold to our family by others. I just want to know what went wrong with this painting. Then it’s good to find that person!”

The big and small Tong shopkeepers all breathed a sigh of relief.

The shopkeeper Xiaotong said quickly and honestly: “You shouldn’t be greedy for petty bargains-our Pei family’s pawnshop has been open for many years, and we have never forced others to die. If he is really short of money, why not bring us here? Be…”

“Did you talk to the guests like this?” The shopkeeper Tong shouted at the shopkeeper Xiaotong, interrupted the shopkeeper Xiaotong, thought for a while, and said, “It is not entirely right to say that this painting is fake. ”

Yu Tang lifted his spirits and said, “What do you say?”

The shopkeeper Tong said: “The little lady may not know that the ancient paintings that can be passed down to the world are mostly painted on rice paper. This rice paper has two characteristics, one is that it has excellent ink absorption, that is, it can be ink-through paper back. . Another feature is that it is made from several layers of paper pulp repeatedly. The masters who are skilled at home can usually peel off the rice paper layer by layer. Why do you say that your ancient painting is a fake instead of What about the fake painting? We just showed it to the gentleman in the shop who specializes in appreciating ancient paintings. Your painting is indeed made by Li Tang. But the top layer was revealed. Your painting is the one below. One floor, so look—”

As he said, he opened the picture scroll and pointed it to Yu Tang: “Here, here, obviously it was added later, there is a little bit less misty wind…”

Isn’t it because of the seal?

Yu Tang was a little at a loss.

The shopkeeper Tong looked at Yu Tang’s immature face, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, and said with sympathy: “If the little lady wants to be this painting, it’s not impossible. It’s just that she can’t be a few dollars.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Tang pointed to the “Mei Lin” seal on the painting and said, “Is there any problem with this seal?”

The treasurer Tong listened and took a deep look at her.

Yu Tang yelled bad in his heart.

When she asked, it was clear that she wanted to cover it up—since she suspected that there was a problem with the seal, she knew that the painting was improper, and she had to take it to the pawnshop…

Yu Tang looked at the face of Tong Da’s shopkeeper again, and as expected, the spring breeze was gone.

She hurriedly said: “No. I think that since this painting is in the collection of Mr. Zuo, there should be nothing wrong with it…”

It’s just that the shopkeeper Tong doesn’t believe her anymore, and the politeness and alienation characteristic of a businessman appeared on his face, and he smiled: “The little lady is right. This painting really fell into the hands of Master Zuo in the end, but the little lady This painting by is indeed a counterfeit, and I forgive our pawnshop for not accepting it. If the little lady has anything good, just come and patronize us again.”

The shopkeeper Xiaotong simply saw off the guests in person.

Yu Tang was dizzy with anger and didn’t know how he walked back. After I went back, I drank two cups of thick leaf tea, which relieved my breath.

Good Lu Xin!

I want to run after taking their money. How can there be such a good thing? !

Yu Tang called Ah Tiao over, gave him a dozen copper plates, and told him: “Go and inquire about Lu Xiucai’s whereabouts. Don’t let my dad know.”

A Tiao often buys snacks for Yu Tang with Yu Wen and Chen on his back, smiles disapprovingly, and goes out to inquire about Lu Xin.

In the afternoon, he came to report to Yu Tang anxiously: “Did Master Lu commit something? He pawned the house to others, saying that he was going to Beijing to invest in relatives. But even if there are relatives in Beijing, can he live with relatives for a lifetime? Nothing?”

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

Yu Tang sneered and said: “Then he has gone?”

“Everyone thought he was gone,” Ah Tiao said cleverly, “but I have found out clearly that he has a friend in Huaer Lane. He has been staying in Huaer Lane these days, and I am afraid that he is reluctant to bear that friend.”

Yu Tang’s mind turned around for a long while, sighed, and bowed to the west, beckoning Ah Tiao to come over, and urged him for a long time.

Hua’er Lane is on the back of Changxing Street, a winding alley, leading to Changxing Street in the east, and Fuya Street in the west. Both sides are planted with thick camphor trees. At night, the red light shines brightly, Yingyingyan Yan’s, the voice is full of voices.

Due to the flooding of Changxing Street, the shops were burnt down and the ruined walls were unsightly. Some people covered the crossing leading to Changxing Street with rain cloth, leaving only the road leading to Fuya Street.

At night, when Hua’er Alley was the busiest time, a carriage stopped in front of Aunt Chu’s yard, and seven or eight women with big waists came down and rushed into the yard with clubs in their hands.

Everyone was a veteran in Fengyue Alley, and when they looked at this stand, they knew that there was a disturbance in the main house, and excitedly surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, watching the jokes babblingly.

Aunt Chu’s yard was smashed, and a tall woman came out of the yard grabbing Lu Xin’s collar, and she said loudly: “You go to the yard to drink flowers. If you drink wine, you can drink flower wine. Why did you **** the family house for the sister in the yard? Where will you let our wife live in the future? What to eat? What to drink?”

Lin’an City said it was big and not small, not to mention that Lu Xin was an eventful person, and he had to join hands wherever he was. There were many people who knew him. Seeing this scene could not help but 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 five and three rough. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stay.”

Some people are also surprised: “Isn’t it said that the wife in front of Lu Xiucai did not marry after she died, and she has no children or daughters? Where did this woman come from?”

Some people guessed: “Maybe it’s also good, but one is in the yard and the other is kept outside.”

Lu Xin’s mouth was crooked with anger. The woman who didn’t know where was making trouble came in front of him. He wanted to explain a few words, but the collar strangled his neck and couldn’t say a word, so he was caught by the woman. He dragged it to the carriage, stuffed a pile of rags in his mouth, and drove out of Huaer Lane.

He is afraid that this matter will be discussed by people in Lin’an Prefecture for a lifetime.

Lu Xin chewed his teeth.

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

The carriage stopped at the corner of Changxing Street.

Lu Xin was dragged off the carriage.

The moonlight illuminates the broken beams and shattered tiles on Changxing Street, and the shadows are desolate. The laughter and laughter from the Huaer Lane next door is a bit weird, making his scalp numb and his legs trembling.

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

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

Lu Xin recognized her at a glance.

He jumped up like being stepped on his tail, and accused: “Why are you? What do you want to do? I want your father to judge!”

Yu Tang said with a faint smile: “Why ask my father to judge the truth! I will go to the yamen to judge the truth with you!”

Lu Xin was stunned.

Yu Tang left the painting at Lu Xin’s feet: “Didn’t you say that this is the “Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture” by Li Tang from the previous dynasty? The shopkeeper Tong of Pei’s pawnshop happened to have a relationship with my family, so I took it. I gave the shopkeeper Tong a hand, and the shopkeeper Tong can say that this is a fake, worth three or five taels of silver at most. Either I will 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 who pulls tiger skins as a banner, and you want to use Pei’s family to press me?! What kind of family is your family, I don’t know? You say it is a fake. I still say you Stealing the merits and exchanging posts, took my paintings and didn’t want to give them money, and falsely accused me of selling yours.

The woman squeezed Lu Xin to the ground again.

Yu Tang said with disdain: “I also know you won’t recognize it, and I didn’t expect you to recognize it. At dawn we went to the Yamen, and I have asked the shopkeeper Tong to prove it. The real can’t be fake, and the fake can’t be real. Wait for the ruin and the lawsuit!”
