627. Flesh aches
There has been no news from the bookstore for several days, Yao Keqing was about to call the shopkeeper to ask about the progress, but he didn't expect Mrs. Song to come over again, saw Yao Keqing, and asked straight to the point, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, did someone ask about the painting?"
Sun would never come to ask such a clueless sentence for no reason, and at that time, Sun himself said that he was not in a hurry, how long has it been, Sun will not be so anxious to slap himself in the face, he must have heard something, and came to inquire about the news here! It seems that the person behind him can't sit still!
Thinking about this, Yao Keqing smiled and said, "Of course there is, there are many people who ask!"
Sun was overjoyed, and directly forgot the purpose of his first visit, "Really, my nephew and daughter-in-law are really capable, and it's not wrong to entrust this matter to you at all!~ It seems that it will be sold soon!"
Yao Keqing smiled lightly, "Don't worry! Now there are two buyers who want this painting, first see who offers the highest price, and sell it to whom!"
Sun lost 2,000 taels to the old lady, if the selling price exceeded 2,000 taels, the excess part was her pure earning, she was angry and gave the painting to Yao Keqing, purely to retaliate Yao Keqing for saying more things that should not be said in front of the old lady, and never thought that he could make up for the silver that was lost, but he didn't expect that he could really sell it, it was really unexpected!
"Okay, good, that's the reason! Since ancient times, buying and selling transactions have been won by the one with the highest price!" Sun couldn't help but frown, and said, "What price does the buyer get now?"
Yao Keqing stretched out two fingers and compared.
Sun's heart was relieved, "It turns out that what my nephew and daughter-in-law said is true, this painting is really worth two thousand taels of silver!"
"Although it is a fake, it is also a painting of some years, and the seal left is also real, if it is not for the paper that cannot be faked, I am afraid that not many people will be able to recognize this as a counterfeit! The price is naturally not too low, but compared with the real handiwork, the value is less than one-tenth! There are only more than ten paintings that have been handed down to the world, and each one is worth a lot of money!"
A fake is worth 2,000 taels, so wouldn't the real work cost 20,000 or 30,000 taels? No wonder the old lady was so precious about this painting, and after knowing that this painting was a fake, the old lady became angry! Sun was stunned, smacked his lips and sighed, "This painting is really valuable!"
Suddenly remembered that day that day the daughter forced Yao Keqing to honor her true painting to the old lady on the grounds of filial piety, I didn't expect this painting to be so valuable, and the daughter offended Yao Keqing to death, she didn't care about it and helped herself sell the painting with all her heart, and she salivated to ask her to help sell the painting.
Yao Keqing saw Sun's embarrassment, picked up the teacup and said softly, "This is this year's new tea, aunt taste it, but are you still used to drinking it?"
Sun was busy drinking tea to hide his embarrassment, but he was still embarrassed to speak again, just at this time Chun'er came in, Sun hurriedly put down the teacup and said to Chun'er, "Since Xiuxiu followed you here, I haven't seen you for a long time! Look at your complexion and know that you are doing very well! I won't ask you how you are doing!"
After speaking, he didn't forget to chuckle twice, completely getting rid of the embarrassed look on his face.
Chun'er Fu said, "Mrs. Lao remembers, the young grandmother is sympathetic to the people, and it is excellent to treat the people!"
Sun turned his head to Yao Keqing with a calm expression, "My nephew and daughter-in-law are not only talented and learned, but also have the ability to govern the family.
"It's all my mother's credit! I am now in charge of the affairs of this yard, it is this yard, and the nurse is also taking care of it, which is my ability!" Yao Keqing smiled and pushed away Sun's praise.
Sun smiled disapprerovingly, "Then you also need to know people and use people!" You see Chun'er, she is the most docile and capable, much better than the few around me, I had long hoped that she would come to my room, but unfortunately I couldn't keep her, and I also paid a Xiuxiu to go in!"
Chun'er's fiancé who died early was originally a little maid next to Master Song, if Chun'er married in the past, he would be a person from the big house, and he should go to the big house on an errand, but he didn't expect that Xiuxiu's brother would die without waiting for marriage, Chun'er swore not to marry, and continued to stay in the princess's mansion as an errand boy, and also entrusted the relationship to transfer Xiuxiu to take care of him, so Sun had such a feeling.
Chun'er said in a panic, "The eldest lady is very loving, it's the slave and the maid who is blessed with a thin ......" seemed to think of her fiancé who died young, and Chun'er's eyes were filled with tears.
"Whew...... It's because we don't have the fate of a master and a servant!, what kind of blessing is Bo Fu Shen, you follow your young grandmother, and the blessing is behind!" Sun diverted the topic.
Chun'er wiped her tears without a trace, and said with a smile, "Young grandma treats slaves and maids very well, it is the blessing of slaves and maids!"
Sun thought that Chun'er must have something to say when she came to Yao Keqing, and she was here, so she couldn't speak, so she hurriedly got up and said goodbye, "I still have to go to the second brother and sister, then I'll leave first, and the painting will be handed over to my nephew and daughter-in-law!"
Yao Keqing wanted to knock on the side and ask why Sun came over suddenly, but when Chun'er was inserted like this, he had no choice but to give up and politely sent Sun away, and then asked Chun'er the purpose of coming.
Chun'er knelt down straight without saying a word, Yao Keqing sighed with Chun'er's expression, and watched her play coldly.
Chun'er knelt for a long time and blamed herself, "It's all useless slaves and maids, and I have betrayed the trust of the young grandmother, that purse...... The slave couldn't find out who it was!"
Yao Keqing helped Chun'er up and comforted, "Hurry up! It's not your fault, there are so many people in the yard, who knows who fell, besides, you picked up the thing one step earlier, and it is a great achievement to prevent this matter from spreading! If you lose this kind of thing, the person who loses it naturally has to beware of being investigated, but I am afraid that the clues will be dealt with long ago, and it is reasonable that it cannot be found, so there is no need to blame yourself so much! This matter is just settled, be more careful in the future, and never let such a thing happen again!"
Chun'er nodded gratefully, and stood up according to her words, "Young Grandma Xie, the slave will retreat first!"
Waving off Chun'er, Yao Keqing called Hongyu, "Go and inquire where Chun'er has been before she comes, and who you have seen!"
The matter of that purse has already been revealed, so why bother to come over and talk back, and also pick this time, as if he was afraid that Sun would say a word to himself.
Chun'er listened to whom, Sun listened to whom, instigated Sun to urge herself to sell paintings, and was afraid that Sun would leak her identity by leaking her mouth, so she let Chun'er appear at the right time to force Sun away, it seems that the person is reluctant to take out three thousand taels of silver, and his flesh hurts!
