Chapter 200: Brain Hole
Qin Hanzhen stared at the letter, and touched it carefully for a long time before he said slowly: "Cousin Zhao, actually...... I suddenly had a brain hole. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhao Mo was stunned: "What hole, cousin, where are you injured?" He was a little puzzled and a little nervous, and hurriedly looked Qin Hanzhen up and down.
Qin Hanzhen coughed twice: "I'm not injured, it's just ...... It's a metaphor, I mean, I have an idea. She quickly brought Zhao Mo's attention back to "business", "You know, when my grandfather taught me to recognize paper, he told me about the benefits of rice paper. Generally, those who write calligraphy and draw pictures use rice paper more. My grandfather also used to frame, and there was no one better at framing than him in the Mizhi area, and many people came to me from far and wide to ask my grandfather to frame some antique calligraphy and paintings for them, so I know a little bit about it. I've heard that a person with a good framing technique can repair a broken old painting as if it were brand new and complete, but what if it is not an ancient painting that is repaired, but scattered fragments?
Zhao Mo slowly understood what she meant, and looked at the letter: "What does my cousin mean...... The same is true of this letter...... Patched?"
Qin Hanzhen can't say for sure, but she has seen more than one costume drama with the theme of detectives, and the protagonists are all famous detectives in history, Di Renjie, Song Ci, etc., should ...... There's still a little bit of credibility, right?
She said to Zhao Mo: "Anyway, the broken ancient paintings can be repaired, and I haven't seen the broken words like this." I just think...... There is such a possibility. If you want to know if you can really do it, you have to wait until my grandfather comes back and asks him. ”
Zhao Mo stared at the letter and was silent for a while before saying, "According to my cousin's words, these words ...... It was really written by my father, so it is so similar to his handwriting, because it was originally written by him. Someone collected my father's words and put them together into a letter like this, and used it to frame him......"
Qin Hanzhen sighed: "I don't know if this letter was forged in this way, it's just a guess." I felt that the paper was thicker than ordinary rice paper, but it seemed to be not very thick, so I guessed so. But your father must have used rice paper to write, right?"
Zhao Mo nodded. Of course. No matter how much Zhao Shuo likes to use jade button paper, it is impossible to write only on this kind of paper. The daily purchase of the Liao Wangfu is in the hands of the concubine of the Liao Wang, and Zhao Shuo has to use whatever paper he can be assigned to. Unless Yuan's wife, Wen, used his dowry to buy paper for him, or he used his own private house, he could not choose to use his preferred jade button paper. The ratio of rice paper and jade button paper he uses is almost five or five. However, after getting married, most of the private letters he wrote to his in-laws and subordinates were made of jade button paper.
When Zhao Shuo entered Beijing, he only brought his henchmen and belongings, and most of the old things were left in the palace of Liaodong. If the Liao King and his wife wanted to collect his writings, it couldn't be easier.
Zhao Mo thought about it carefully, and felt that Qin Han's guess was really reasonable. Although it sounds a little unbelievable, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, Qin Hanzhen wouldn't have known that the framing technique could do this?
He was a little excited: "How can we determine whether this letter has been framed or not?"
Qin Hanzhen recalled the plot of the TV series: "It seems to take a basin of water to soak it, right? If it is framed, once it is wet, those pieces of paper should be scattered." ”
Zhao Mo got up and was about to look for a vessel for water. They were in the ship's hall next to the water, and it couldn't be easier to verify.
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly grabbed him: "Cousin Zhao, don't worry. I'm just guessing, not necessarily accurate. Let's wait until my grandfather comes home and let him see it. Not to mention that this is evidence of framing your father, aren't you going to let your father take a look?"
Zhao Mo said: "What's the use of this kind of thing if he sees it? If you soak in water, you can destroy it, which is also a good thing. ”
Qin Hanzhen insisted that he must wait for Qin Bai to come back and read the letter before trying to soak in water, Zhao Mo had no choice but to agree, and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandfather are masters of framing, and his old man must be able to see it at a glance." ”
Qin Hanzhen looked at him wordlessly, hehe, but he was thinking in his heart, what if this letter didn't use such a high technique, it was written by a master of counterfeiting purely imitating Zhao Shuo's handwriting?
Zhao Mo was still looking at the letter and analyzed: "If this letter is really made by the method that my cousin said, the person who made the fake really put a lot of thought into it. My father didn't write many handbooks on rice paper, and he had to choose words of similar size and ink color from so many pieces of paper and put them together into a letter, which took more effort than finding a good framer. Also, this letter really can't be seen to be framed, if you can do this, then the craftsman must be a master, right?"
Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "I heard that the framing master in Yangzhou is the most famous. Suzhou ...... There should be quite a few famous artists. It is estimated that there are also in the capital. My grandfather probably learned the art of framing in the capital when he was a teenager. ”
Zhao Mo put the letter away and said solemnly: "The princess and princess have not been in the capital for a few days, and this letter must have been prepared a long time ago." I'll find a way to ask the people accompanying the prince to see when such a framing master came to Liaodong, and I hope I can find any clues. He still felt that such a person could not be used by the King of Liao, and there must be other masterminds behind him.
Although Qin Hanzhen didn't know who this mastermind would be, she could guess: "This person should be here for your father, either he has an enmity with your father, or he also wants to plot the position of the East Palace and suppress competitors." Judging from the current situation, the suspicion of the Shu Wangfu is the greatest. ”
Zhao Mo thought for a while: "Speaking of the Shu Palace, there is something very strange. After the princess and princess entered Beijing, they greeted each other with all the palaces and princesses' mansions, and visited each other. I once thought that maybe it was because the youngest son of the King of Shu was interested in the throne, and my father, as the eldest son of the King of Liao, was his opponent, so the two families wanted to avoid suspicion. However, I found that the princess had a lot of Nanhong ornaments produced in Shu, and the second uncle also added a new purse made of Shu brocade. This is all recent. However, my father's eyes and ears in the palace told me that the palace had not purchased these things recently, and the princess had never gone out to the market, or summoned the men from the silver building and the cloth village to the door. Then there is only one source for these things - they are gifts from others. ”
Qin Hanzhen asked: "Didn't it come from the Shu Palace? Could it be someone from Shu? Or is it that Shu brocade and Nanhong have been popular in the capital recently, so someone brought them with them when they gave gifts?"
Zhao Mo shook his head. They have been in Beijing for a few months, and they all know very well whether these things are popular in the capital. Zhao Mo also said to Qin Hanzhen: "That Nanhong is an extremely rare treasure, otherwise the princess would not be happy to wear it." Such good goods, Shu must be given priority to the palace, or tribute to Beijing, ordinary people want to collect, but they may not be able to collect. He also checked the gift list sent by the princes and princesses after the Liao King and his wife entered Beijing, and there were no Nanhong ornaments and Shu brocade on it.
Qin Hanzhen said: "If it is a gift from the Shu Palace, just write it generously on the gift list and send it over, there is no need to cover it up at all." Could it be that there is anything that needs to be avoided between the Shu Wangfu and the Liao Wangfu, and that outsiders should not be allowed to know that they are courteous and still have exchanges with each other? This is too deliberate? The dispute over the throne is only a secret fight in private, and the crown prince is still here, so who would shout about such a thing? The Shu King and the Liao Wangfu were originally brothers, and it is normal for them to have contacts, so what is there to avoid? Such deliberately, it seems that there is a secret between them. ”
Zhao Mo smiled: "I don't know if there is a secret between them, but it is impossible for the two families to completely avoid it." Entering the palace today to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, they must have met, where can they avoid?"
As Zhao Mo said, the step-concubine of the King of Liao and the princess of Shu met in the palace at this time. The former also took his eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Wang, and when he met Princess Shu, he was caught and trained by her.
Princess Shu bitterly reprimanded Xiao Wang: "You are now a clan woman, and you should abide by the discipline of your boudoir and be a virtuous woman." Since your husband has the eldest son, how can you drive him out of the house? He even ordered his mother's family to assassinate him! The old Zhao family has never produced a person like you! The good reputation of several lifetimes has ruined you! The queen mother has already reprimanded you, and since you promised to change your mistakes at that time, you have to act like you are willing to change, how can you still pretend to be stupid? Brother Mo'er's child has been living in Yongjiahou's house for a few months? You have turned a blind eye to it, and you have not even sent food, clothing, and daily necessities, you are really stubborn!
Although Princess Shu is young, she is Zhao Shuo's aunt. In front of the elders, Xiao Wang couldn't refute it loudly, so he could only bow his head and listen to the training in a loud voice, but he was secretly hating in his heart.
Princess Shu finished scolding Xiao Wang, and then turned her head to look at the step-concubine of Liao Wang: "Speaking of which, sister-in-law is also confused, you are a mother-in-law, seeing that the new daughter-in-law has made a mistake, why don't you mention her? But just because my sister-in-law knows the hardships involved, she shouldn't look at Shuo's daughter-in-law Hu Lai! Now that she has a bad reputation, outsiders talk about it, if it involves her sister-in-law, won't her sister-in-law be angry?"
Of course, the step-concubine of the king of Liao was angry, and she was very angry now. The princess of Shu just trained the little Wang family, why did she still get involved with her? The little Wang family is ruthless, what does it have to do with her? Is it difficult to achieve it because their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both filling houses, and the little Wang family is scolded as a vicious stepmother, so she has to be piggybacked? The princess of Shu has already told her that she has just squeezed a few words from the little Wang family, why doesn't even she let her go? Now she is in a dilemma, and if she agrees with the princess of Shu, she has offended the Wang family, and her son Zhao Li is bent on marrying the granddaughter of the Wang family. But if you don't agree with Princess Shu, what should you do with the previous agreement?
Fortunately, Princess Shu didn't say it for long, and Princess Xiuning came over and grabbed her with a smile: "Say less." Today is a good day for the Queen Mother, you are not only her old man's own niece daughter, but also her nephew and daughter-in-law, how can you sweep the Queen Mother's happiness?"
The step-concubine of the king of Liao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She told herself that it was not the time to turn her face with the Shu Palace, so she had to endure it.
She straightened her face and looked back at Xiao Wang's family: "Did you hear it? Just because of the good things you did, how much face did our Liao Wangfu lose! Even if it's pretending, you'll have to pretend to be a mother to me. When the rumors pass for a while, you can do whatever you like, but now that the vassal kings are gathered in the capital, you are not allowed to make trouble for me at this juncture!
