"Hmmm! That's what the aunt said! Luo Yan said without further ado: "That Cheng, when I find out, I will definitely return Hongyantang to an innocence."

Luo Yitou said, without waiting for Mr. Su and Mrs. Su to say anything, he hurriedly walked out of the gallery with two subordinates. Lewen

The matter has become clear.

Su Jin and Yan Qing can also rest assured, and now they have to wait for news from Luo Yantou.

"Is that so?" Yan Qing said with doubts.

Seeing that Mrs. Su seemed to be puzzled, Luo Yitou suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, Mr. Wu bought calligraphy and paintings in Hongyan Hall, so his wife is very suspicious..."

"That's right! I think so too! Yan Qing said with a smile.

Aunt Li came out of the back hall with tea, and when she heard the conversation between Luo Yitou and Mr. Su Xiaoqing, she hurriedly came over and urged: "Then in this case, Luo Yantou hurriedly went to find out, in case she did anything unlucky."

"Rats? What do you mean by that? Although Su Jin learned from his mother's words that Mr. Wu was actually a pseudo-rich man, he was not humble to the point of being a rat.

"Mr. Su doesn't know, Mr. Wu is just a family member of Xiangfu, and his whereabouts recently are very simple, every day between his home and Xiangfu, and he suddenly became obsessed with calligraphy and painting two months ago.

"Is that so?" Yan Qing said with doubts.

After sending Luo Yantou away, the gallery was able to regain its calm for the time being, and Su Jin was inconvenient to think too much, so he had to wait for Brother Luo's news first, and then think about it in the long run.

Luo Yantou was really happy to do things, and he swore in the morning that he would find out Mr. Wu's origin and recent whereabouts within one day, and brought news in the afternoon.

He happily walked into the gallery and told Mr. and Mrs. Su: "I found it, but it's just a mouse sparrow."

How dare Luo Yitou take Mr. Su's silver taels, if this is known to the son, he will have to count him, he smiled and pushed back the silver taels: "Mr. Su is too polite!" In recent days, if the son hadn't been busy with the case, how could he have come to Luo to serve"

Su Jin said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Luo Yitou's jokes, in Su's heart, he has long regarded Luo Yitou as the eldest brother, and these silver taels are not a tribute, so he should be the younger brother to invite Brother Luo to tea."

"That's good!" When Luo Yitou heard that Mr. Su actually exalted him like this, how could he have brushed off Mr. Su's kindness again, and it was absolutely a great pleasure to be able to call Mr. Su a brother. He took the money and asked Brother Su Xian to rest assured: "You explain my affairs, when the eldest brother must find out as soon as possible, if that Mr. Wu dares to have the slightest evil intentions towards Hongyantang, the eldest brother will not be the first to spare him."

"Thank you so much, Brother Luo!" Su Jin said gratefully.

Although Luo Yitou had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask much, since Mrs. Su asked him to check the origin of this person, there must be a reason, he put the paper away and said with a smile: "Please Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, don't worry!" This matter will be handed over to Luo, and within a day, not to mention his origin and whereabouts, even his eight generations of ancestors will be found out."

"Then there's Lauro's head!" Yan Qing smiled and looked at her husband.

Su Jin understood what his mother meant, took out some broken silver from his sleeve pocket, and sent Luo Yitou and others out of the gallery and said: "It's hard work Luo Yitou and a few big brothers, forgive Su for not being able to get away and invite you to drink tea, these are a little bit of Su Mou's heart, Su Mou will invite you again another day"

How dare Luo Yitou take Mr. Su's silver taels, if this is known to the son, he will have to count him, he smiled and pushed back the silver taels: "Mr. Su is too polite!" In recent days, if Gongzi hadn't been busy with the case, how could he have come to Luo?"

Listening to Mr. Zhuang's mouth, the Liang family must be Mrs. Zhuang's maiden family, Su Jin and Yan Qing saw Mr. Zhuang's helplessness on his face, she said: "Zhuang Gongzi went to the private school to come to the gallery to paint for a while, he is talented and smart in painting, the last painting competition, if it wasn't for Zhuang Gongzi, we would lose in Hongyantang." He won't be painting tomorrow, and we're really reluctant to give him up."

"When will you go?" Su Jin asked.

"Alas!" Mr. Zhuang sighed in a low voice and said to Mr. Su and Mrs. Su: "I left Lan'an before five o'clock this afternoon, and when I went over there, how could I meet a teacher with such exquisite painting skills as Mr. Su and Mrs. Su."

Late afternoon.

The carriage of Zhuang's Mansion and the carriage of Liang's Mansion stopped in front of the gallery, and Mr. Zhuang and a middle-aged man got out of the carriage and walked back and forth to the gallery.

Yan Qing selected a few paintings and wrapped them and gave them to Zhuang Gongzi to take to Tianye.

Aunt Li walked out of the back hall with two plates of osmanthus cakes, and the children smelled the fragrance of osmanthus cakes, and ran to their grandmothers one after another, blocking the way.

"Good!" Aunt Li looked at a group of little gluttons, handed them a plate of osmanthus cake, and said with a smile: "You take it and eat it, and leave the remaining plate for Zhuang Gongzi to take on the road to eat."

"Oh!" The children understood, and they no longer had the idea of playing the big brother's osmanthus cake.

Aunt Li took the oil paper and wrapped the osmanthus cake, walked to Xiaoqing's side and said: "The osmanthus cake and calligraphy and painting are packed together, Zhuang Gongzi went to Tianye this time, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until the end of the year, I hope he can continue to concentrate on learning to paint when he goes there."

"Yes! Since the Liang family wants to take Zhuang Gongzi over to live, they naturally love Zhuang Gongzi very much, and the things he likes will definitely make him happy! Yan Qing said with a smile, took the calligraphy and painting and osmanthus cake and put them in the cloth bag.

At this moment, Zhuang Luo was not affected in any way, and was painting seriously.

Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Liang walked into the gallery, looked at Zhuang Meng in unison, and they invited each other to the counter, and took a look at a figure painting that was about to be painted.

The woman in the painting looks at it very similarly to Mrs. Su, and she is as beautiful as a fairy.

Mr. Zhuang knew in his heart that he was about to leave the house and that he might not be able to come to the gallery to learn to paint for a long time in the future.

"Luo'er, you have been here for such a long time today, and you have painted this painting?" Mr. Zhuang asked him.

Zhuang Luo raised his head and looked at his father, and was extremely quiet and stunned to take away the painting on it, and the man on the portrait was Mr. Su.

Mr. Liang nodded with appreciation in his eyes and said nothing.

"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Liang, please sit down for a while!" Yan Qing walked over to them with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Mr. Zhuang smiled and turned around to introduce Mr. Liang beside him: "Big brother, this is Mrs. Su."

"Hello Mr. Liang!" Yan Qing said with a smile.

"Huh! Mrs. Su has been looking up for a long time! Mr. Liang said with a smile.

Mr. Zhuang continued: "Her paintings are all known as "novel and chic", which is absolutely a rare masterpiece! As he spoke, he glanced at the hall and the painting area and asked, "Where is Mr. Su?" ”

"Mr. Zhuang has won the award, and his husband is entertaining painters on the second floor!" Yan Qing invited them to sit down.

Aunt Li served good tea to the two gentlemen.

Yan Qing chatted with Mr. Liang about some attainments in calligraphy and painting, and during the conversation, she found that Mr. Liang was also a person who knew a lot about calligraphy and painting.

Zhuang Luo finished painting, looking at the adults stunned in a daze, he saw that the master had gone downstairs, and immediately grabbed the painting and trotted to the master and said with a smile: "Master, look, the student has drawn a portrait of the master and the teacher, hehe!" I gave it to you, how about you take a look at the painting? ”

Su Jin smiled when he heard this, took the painting that Zhuang Gongzi gave him and his wife to look at, and praised: "This painting, except for my mother, is the best painting I have received, thank you Zhuang Gongzi"

"Huh!" Mr. Zhuang got up and said with a smile: "After returning home yesterday, I didn't think about tea and dinner, and I hid in the study alone and racked my brains, always wanting to draw something for my master and master?" No, today I have painted two portraits for the master and the master, and I thank you for your careful teaching to him."

Yan Qing took a portrait of her from her husband's hand, looked at it and said with a smile: "Zhuang Gongzi has worked hard, this painting, my mother likes it very much, and I will treasure it." By the way, Shi Niang also has a few paintings that I want to give to you, I'll go get them."

She had just turned to leave when she heard Mr. Liang and her husband talking.

After taking the cloth bag and walking back, Yan Qing handed it to Mr. Zhuang and said, "I don't know when Zhuang Gongzi will come back, I hope these paintings will help him in painting skills!" Saying that, she said to Zhuang Luo again: "Zhuang Gongzi, you can't be greedy for fun when you go to Tianye, and forget to paint." Learning can make people progress, but slacking off makes people regress, you know? ”

Zhuang Luo looked at his master as if he didn't understand, and then looked at the carriage outside the door reluctantly, and nodded honestly.

Mr. Liang asked Su Jin for advice on painting skills, and the two were talking about speculation, but Mr. Zhuang interrupted and reminded him with a smile: "Big brother, it's past five minutes."

"Oh!" Mr. Liang reacted, got up and said apologetically: "I chatted with Mr. Su for a while, but I forgot the time, Mr. Su, Liang has to meet you again next time and say goodbye."

"Farewell!" Su Jin treated each other politely and went out with Yan Qing to see them off.

Zhuang Luo got into the carriage, sat in the carriage for a while, and then pulled the curtain and regretted: "Can the child not go?" I don't want to go, don't go."

At the same time, Mr. Liang, who was sitting in the carriage, heard that Luo'er was losing his temper, and raised the curtain and said solemnly: "Luo'er can't come nonsense, your sister Qiurong is still waiting for you to visit her in Tianye!" ”

Yan Qing saw that Zhuang Gongzi also seemed to miss Sister Qiurong in Mr. Liang's mouth, and then looked at Mr. Zhuang, he was distressed by Zhuang Gongzi's expression, but when he heard Qiurong, he suddenly turned into guilt.

Zhuang Luo held the calligraphy and painting and osmanthus cake sent by his wife in his arms, retracted his head into the carriage, and drove in the direction of the city gate.

After they left, Mr. Zhuang didn't stay in the gallery for long, and went to Buzhuang when he had something to do.

Su Jin and Yan Qing sent Mr. Zhuang away, and the two of them returned to the art gallery to entertain the painters, she just sat down to look through the accounts for a while, and saw Mr. Wu, who came to buy paintings the day before yesterday but did not bring silver, and came to buy paintings again, she smiled and closed the account book, walked out of the counter and came forward to quip: "Mr. Wu came to buy paintings, last time my husband accompanied you back to the house, I went for a long time and didn't come back, I was worried for a while, and I thought something happened to you on the road, and I almost went to report the case."

"It's okay! It's okay! Mr. Wu smiled awkwardly, suddenly looked a little nervous, and didn't want to continue chatting with Mrs. Su's words, but took out the silver from his sleeve pocket and said, "Today, Wu came to buy a painting, but he didn't come with two sleeves and a breeze, and he brought silver."

Seeing and hearing Mr. Wu's reaction and statement, Yan Qing didn't feel inexplicable? She smiled and explained, "Maybe Mr. Wu misunderstood, I don't mean anything else." Mr. Wu, please, I wonder what kind of portrait Mr. Wu wants to buy this time? ”

"Last time, I took a fancy to the character painting of "The One Who Lives Alone", and this time I deliberately wanted to buy it back!" Mr. Wu put the silver back in his sleeve pocket and followed Mrs. Su to the painting area.

They came to the figure painting area, but saw that the calligraphy and painting of "The One Who Lives Alone" on the case had been sold out, Yan Qing squatted down to unlock the cabinet under the case, and even the spare "The One Who Lived Alone" calligraphy and painting were empty.

She said to Mr. Wu embarrassedly: "Let Mr. Wu smile, I have been busy with other things recently, and I have little time to paint, so the calligraphy and paintings are not enough to sell, you sit down and wait for a while, I will go to the second floor to see if there are still paintings of "The One Who Lives Alone"

"Good! Then there's Mrs. Lausu! Mr. Wu came to the table and sat down, but Mr. Su was not seen in the hall or in the painting area?

Half a moment passed.

Yan Qing came down from the second floor empty-handed, still apologetically: "I'm really embarrassed!" Today, I'm afraid that Mr. Wu will have to run for nothing, and there is no stock of "The One Who Lives Alone" in the art library."

"That's it!" Mr. Wu was obviously a little lost, he didn't have too much spare time to run to the gallery, and he returned empty-handed today, this..., he seemed to have a last resort, and wanted to discuss with Mrs. Su: "Is it okay to look at it this way, if Mr. Su is free now, can he paint a picture?" I took the time to come here today, and I can't let me run for nothing, can I? Otherwise, if I go back, I can't put it down."

"This..."Yan Qing thought that Mr. Wu came with silver today, and saw that he really wanted to buy "The One Who Lives Alone", so he said to him: "Then you wait a while, husband, he is entertaining painters on the second floor, I'll ask him."

"Good! Thank you Mrs. Sue for that! Mr. Wu said in a happy tone.

Yan Qing went for half a moment again, and when she went downstairs, she told Mr. Wu what her husband meant: "Let Mr. Wu wait for a long time!" My husband agreed to wait a while for Mr. Wu to paint a painting of "The One Who Lives Alone", he will come down soon, Mr. Wu please drink tea and wait"

"Good! Good! Thank you so much Mr. Su! Mr. Wu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Yan Qing smiled, returned to the counter and continued to calculate the accounts, and after a while, her husband and Mr. Dongfang went downstairs together. After they took their leave, Mr. Dongfang came to her with calligraphy and paintings to settle the bill.

"Mr. Dongfang, please go slowly!" Yan Qing handed the wrapped calligraphy and painting to Mr. Dongfang, and watched her husband and Mr. Wu go up to the second floor.

Half an hour later.

Su Jin finished painting "The One Who Lives Alone" and went downstairs with Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu said with great interest: "Thank you Mr. Su, let Wu buy this painting as he wishes today, don't delay you too much, Wu will pay the silver."

"Good! Mr. Wu, please! Su Jin went to the painting area to entertain the painters.
