The county lord of Anping proposed to take the initiative to deal with Zhan, but Zhan has always been sleek, there is no handle and weakness to grasp and use, it is not easy to take the initiative to deal with her, Yao Keqing thought about it, and finally remembered that the painting came, it should be the only handle left by Zhan, but where is the real handiwork? Zhan is not a good person of calligraphy and painting, she changed the original handiwork by no means to treasure, eight times out of ten it was given away, who did she take it to? What is it worth it for her to risk offending the old lady and to exchange the old lady for what is at the bottom of the box?

"By the way, is there a clue to the seal of the painting saint?" can forge the picture of the winter banquet that is fake and real, relying on the real seal, and if you find the seal, you will find the clue of the person who made the fake.

"In the hands of the descendants of the painting saints, but they will not tolerate such blasphemous ancestors!" Song Ziqing said.

"That's not necessarily!" a sneer rose at the corner of the county lord of Anping's mouth, "Money can make ghosts grind, what else can't be done if you can afford it?"

"Fourth Aunt is not such a reluctant person!" Yao Keqing couldn't help but shake his head, Zhan's personality is actually very similar to Xiao Miao's, they always pretend to be in front of people, and their performance is not leaky, all their dark thoughts are hidden on the back, behind each of their seemingly advantages is the evil they don't want people to know, the more generous they are on the surface, the more calculating they are in their hearts, the more generous they look, but in fact the more stingy they are.

"What she is willing to give up is definitely not her own silver! Maybe this silver is still from the Duchess of Pingguo herself!" The county lord of Anping smiled, obviously understanding the character of the Zhan family.

What the county lord of Anping said is very likely, the Zhan family is not in charge, there is no place to fish for oil and water, and he is reluctant to make his own private money, so he can only make up his mind on the old lady, although the descendants of the painting saint are now down, but the background is still there, and it must not be a small amount to impress them, and it is not a small name to ask the old lady to take out such a large sum of silver, and there are traces to follow.

There are not many opportunities for the old lady to take out a large sum of silver, Yao Keqing really has an eyebrow as soon as he investigates, just two years ago, the old lady fell in love with a batch of wood, the best golden silk nanmu, which is as thick as a palm's width, and it is the best choice for making a coffin, but the seller bid very high, and asked for 50,000 taels of silver, and then after bargaining, it was finally sold for 46,000 taels of silver. It is not so easy to distinguish the real from the fake, such as selling the real wood and then using the fake wood to make the coffin.

"Where is the old man's coffin now?"

Mama Fang replied, "Large families generally prepare the things used by the elderly in advance for their deathbed, and then put them in the temple for a few years, and be dyed with some Buddha incense to ensure the safe reincarnation of the deceased! Every family has its own temple, and the Guogong Mansion offers incense from the Dabei Temple every year, and the coffin of the old lady should be enshrined in the Dabei Temple!"

Yao Keqing nodded and instructed, "Mama find two insiders who know wood to go to the Great Compassion Temple and try to see what kind of wood the old lady's coffin is made of!"

Mama Fang responded, and when she turned her head, Mother Zhao said with a happy face, "The third young master is here!"

Yao Qishen, who was lifted, seemed to have grown up, and the whole person had a steady atmosphere, whether it was size or demeanor, he looked no different from an adult, greeted his sister in a regular manner, and then sat aside, no longer the little child who stuck to his sister's left and right like before, "The princess is so gracious, and I haven't seen my sister for many days, I haven't listened to my sister's teachings, I miss it very much!"

Yao Keqing, who grew up and was sensible with his younger brother, saw it in his eyes, but he always felt a little stunned, "You have grown up, you can make your own decisions, it doesn't matter without my teaching!"

"My eldest sister is like a mother, and I will never forget my sister's teachings to me! I have grown up, and it is time for me to protect my sister in the future!"

Only when Yao Qishen swore to make such a guarantee, Yao Keqing could see a trace of childishness in him, but he was also satisfied, "In the future, you can support the entire Yao family, which is the best protection for my sister!"

Yao Qishen solemnly promised, "I will definitely do it!"

Yao Keqing rubbed his head lovingly, and suddenly found that his younger brother was already taller than himself, so he couldn't help but smile and led him to lunch together.

After knowing that Yao Qishen was coming, the Zhan family came to invite him in person, "Brother Qi has held a small banquet, just tomorrow, all the students invited are some students, many of whom have long been familiar with each other, the third young master should also go and have a good time!"

Yao Keqing didn't tell Yao Qishen that Zhan's calculations were on his own, but that the relationship between the two governments was not harmonious, there were not many contacts, it was not good to go over at will, and it was just a face-saving gesture for others to invite, seeing that Zhan's words were extremely sincere, Yao Qishen couldn't help but secretly think that this face-saving feeling was enough, so he made a more sincere demeanor than Zhan's, and said humbly, "Madame is polite, you are an elder, just call the younger generation by name!"

Zhan Shi smiled, smiled very heartily, and obeyed Yao Qishen's words, "Then I will also call you Brother Shen, okay?

Yao Qishen was respectful, and when he saw Yao Keqing nodding slightly, he said, "Hello Fourth Aunt!"

Zhan Shi chuckled, "Good nephew, it's worth it for me to come here, I got a big nephew, and I didn't bring anything I could get in my hands in a hurry today, I will write down this gift first, and I'll make it up to you when you pass through the house tomorrow!"

Yao Qishen listened to Yao Keqing's words and didn't plan to go to the Guogong Mansion for the banquet, so he said perfunctorily, "Fourth Aunt Xie!"

Zhan Shi seemed to hear the perfunctory meaning of Yao Qishen's words, and said with a dissatisfied face, "What's the matter?

Yao Qishen reluctantly asked Yao Keqing for help, Yao Keqing received Yao Qishen's call for help, so he had to come out to relieve the siege and said, "Brother Shen has been tired for several days in order to hand in his homework in advance, and he is mentally exhausted, and he is planning to take a good rest, so it is not good to pass, so as not to disturb the third brother Yaxing!"

"Huh~ What's that!" Zhan Shi didn't mind, "The people who come are all peers of the same age, and there are so many things to say when they get together, and if you don't bother, you will see the outside, but I forgot, my nephew just won the lift, but I'm not tired, it's just that I asked Brother Qi to move the banquet back a few days, and I must wait for my nephew to recover!"

Zhan's words were all said about this, Yao Qishen could only agree, "That junior will rest early today, and go to the banquet on time tomorrow!"
