Chapter 118: Spoiled
"Let's take a look again!" Zhu Yutong was lucky, maybe Brother Gong had already returned home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The carriage drove all the way to the gate of the county mansion, and they got out of the car.
Hu Zhilan walked ahead and asked the guard guarding the gate of the mansion, "May I ask Gongzi to return to the mansion now?"
Even if Miss Hu disguised herself as a man, they could recognize her, not to mention, they had come here this morning, but Gongzi had indeed not returned home until this moment, they smiled and replied: "Miss Hu, I don't know what is the matter with you dressing up to find Gongzi?"
"Hmm!" Hu Zhilan nodded, turned around and glanced at Yu Tong.
Zhu Yutong pulled a handsome face, obviously not very happy and a little disappointed, when she heard that Brother Gong had not returned home, she wanted to turn around and leave, but a pair of feet couldn't move.
The guards on the side persuaded them in a good voice: "Miss Hu, according to your humble position, you don't have to wait like this, just go into the mansion and wait!
"No need!" Zhu Yutong snatched Hu Zhilan's words, and said angrily: "We are happy to wait like this, forget it, your son-in-law has returned to the house, you tell him, let him hurry to the Hu Mansion, and say that someone is waiting for him in the Hu Mansion!"
"Yes!" the two guards looked at each other quizzically.
They sat back in the carriage, Hu Zhilan understood Yutong's sister's feelings, and she asked, "Okay, okay! Brother Gong has a case to handle, and besides, he didn't know that you suddenly came to Lan'an." Don't sulk, where are you going now? Or go home?"
"I'm just very angry!" Zhu Yutong clearly wrote four big words from head to toe, "I'm not happy". She sighed and said helplessly: "Let's go home! I knew that we should have stayed in the gallery and continued to enjoy the paintings and calligraphy."
In the art gallery, a painter took a fancy to the landscape painting of "Mountain Pavilion", came to the counter, paid the silver to Mrs. Su, and said goodbye with the wrapped calligraphy and painting.
Yan Qing made a note on the accounts.
At this time, Fang Xinrong went downstairs with a few paintings in her arms, she walked up to Sister Yan angrily, spread a few paintings on the counter, and said in a disgusted tone: "Sister Yan, look, there are mice hidden in the painting library on the second floor, and these paintings have been bitten by rats, and a few good paintings have been ruined in vain."
Yan Qing put down the pen, and saw that several paintings and calligraphy were gnawed by rats, and there were many twenty gaps in one painting and calligraphy, she flipped through a few times and said: "It's really ruined, it's because I didn't think about it, it seems that I have to think of ideas."
"Well, I have to think about it!" Fang Xinrong said regretfully.
"How many paintings and calligraphy are there in the gallery?" Yan Qing asked her.
"I didn't count this, but when I saw these paintings, I hurriedly packed them up!" Fang Xinrong relieved himself a little and asked, "What about these paintings?"
"Take it for Aunt Li to use for the fire! I'll go up and have a look!" Yan Qing said, going to the second floor.
Fang Xinrong came to the back hall with calligraphy and paintings and handed them to Aunt Li.
In the gallery on the second floor, dozens of paintings and calligraphy are placed as standby at any time, and the paintings and calligraphy sold just right these days, and the paintings and calligraphy in the gallery are also left here, but they didn't expect the rats to take advantage of the loophole and spoil it.
Yan Qing came in and couldn't help but see a few poops left by the rats, she checked the remaining forty-six paintings and calligraphy one by one, and found that four more paintings and calligraphy were also bitten by the rats, and the other forty-two survived the ravages of the rats and were well preserved.
Feng Zicheng and Shi Wenjie were painting, and they couldn't help but feel confused when they found that Mrs. Su had taken out several paintings and calligraphy from the library.
The two got up, came behind Yan Qing and asked, "Mrs. Su, what is this?"
"Oh!" Yan Qing took out a few more paintings, put them on the table in the hall, and replied to them: "Sister Xinrong found that the calligraphy and painting were bitten by rats and were ruined, I will take a look and tidy up."
"There is such a thing!" Feng Zicheng helped Mrs. Su take the painting to the table and said, "It seems that we have to guard against it"
"Rats are really harmful, the paintings we worked so hard to make have become their bag, if I catch them, I will definitely roast them!" Shi Wenjie said unforgivingly.
"Heh!" Feng Zicheng reminded him: "Shi Gongzi, it's okay to roast, but don't eat its meat"
"Hmm!" the two of them said in a few words, helping Yan Qing move out all the calligraphy and paintings, and then returned to his seat to continue painting.
Yan Qing went downstairs with four paintings and calligraphy, because these four paintings were not seriously ruined, she was reluctant to put them on the counter and set Aunt Li on fire.
Fang Xinrong walked over and looked at the four paintings and said, "What's the matter, these four paintings have also been gnawed by mice?"
"It's not terrible, it's definitely impossible to sell it!" Yan Qingyan said in ink.
"Then what are you going to keep for?" Fang Xinrong didn't understand.
Aunt Li came out with a pot of tea from the back hall, and heard Xiaoqing and Xinrong talking about the calligraphy and painting being ruined by rats, she had an idea in her head, and came over and said, "Or, I'll buy some rat poison and come back, otherwise, that thing is not easy to deal with."
"Well, there's only one way!" Fang Xinrong agreed with what Aunt Li said.
Yan Qing didn't accept it and said: "As a last resort, don't poison them, after all, they are also a few creatures."
"What should I do then?" Aunt Li suddenly lost her mind.
"I think so! If you don't put calligraphy and painting in the library, you really don't have a place to put them. Aunt Li, see if you can find two wooden boxes, we can put the calligraphy and paintings into the wooden boxes first, and then carry the wooden boxes into the painting library, which can solve the problem temporarily!" Yan Qing thought.
"It's also a method!" Fang Xinrong did not object.
"Yo! How is this good?" Aunt Li didn't have to look for it to know where the wooden box in the gallery came from, and if she wanted to use a wooden box to hold calligraphy and paintings, she had to buy it! She continued: "Go buy a wooden box! There really is no wooden box in the gallery, so I asked Mr. Feng to buy it, and it was just the time for lunch to buy it."
"Okay!" Yan Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief, calculating that a dozen paintings and calligraphy were enough to buy dozens of wooden boxes and came back, she was careless for a while, and caused such a high loss.
Feng Zicheng went for half an hour.
He and Shi Wenjie carried the wooden box to the second floor, and Yan Qing and Fang Xinrong took the calligraphy and paintings and packed them in the wooden box. Although it is not a long-term solution, it can solve the temporary urgency, as long as the calligraphy and painting are not wasted by rats.
The four landscape paintings that Yan Qing took were taken by her to the private school when she returned to the private school in the evening. It's not like putting it in an art gallery, but it's a bit useful to hang it in a private school.
It's just that Su Jin saw that her mother came back with four paintings and calligraphy, and she had questions in her heart.
