Chapter 15: The First Encounter Outside the House
Knowing her father's plan to let her daughter enter the palace, Ning Yun immediately resisted with the reluctance that crossed over. During this period, whether it was trouble, kneeling, or begging, her brother accompanied her. But that didn't change my father's mind.
In the end, the elder brother threw away all his paintbrushes and rice paper, gave up what he loved the most, and decided to take a path that he once hated the most - official career. He knew that his father needed to give the Ning family's thin foundation and add more chips. So, it's always okay to change your sister to enter the palace by yourself......
Later, Ning Yun's entry into the palace was somehow exploited and provoked, and Ning Yan had a conflict with his father. Ning's father was angry and used family law against his son. More than a dozen sticks were beaten, and Ning Yan's back was already a blur of flesh and blood. Ning Yun rushed over to block two sticks for her brother and almost broke her arm, which made her father calm his anger and stop.
It's just that when his brother was recuperating from his injuries, he unfortunately contracted a new illness and never got up again......
After so many years, Ning Yun has never been able to forgive herself. If he didn't stubbornly oppose his father at the beginning, but was obedient like every woman in this era, wouldn't my brother have died? If my brother was still alive, wouldn't my mother have died so early?
Such assumptions will never be answered.
Ning Yun always thought that she would feel guilty like this for the rest of her life until she was lonely in the palace, but she didn't want to, God actually played a joke with her again.
Since she is no longer the daughter of the Ning family, perhaps, she should do something for her brother.
In the private room, because of Ning Yun's memories, there was silence for a while.
Just when Mrs. Mei wanted to find a way to break the embarrassment, she heard Ning Yun ask her:
"This picture of a bamboo dwelling...... How much do you sell? There are all the other paintings of Yu Gong, but they are all here? ”
Mrs. Mei was taken aback, and then returned to normal, with a characteristic pride in her tone, and said: "His old man's paintings, except for a few collected by some nobles with early vision, the rest of the ten * are here in our fast. It's just that...... I'm afraid I'm going to offend Madame. Yu Gong's paintings, which our lord cherishes very much, are not among the sellers at present. Madame, why don't you take a look at the other masterpieces in this private room? If you really only like Yu Gong, then in our small Zhai, there are other famous works imitating Yu Gong from all over the world, and it is also good for Mrs. to hang at home to enjoy and play. I'm going to have someone bring it ......."
Without waiting for Mrs. Mei to give her instructions, Ning Yun coldly interrupted her: "Since you don't sell it, why are you hanging in such a copper-smelling place?" If you are really a person who cherishes paintings, how can you hang it high here and let others appreciate it? Such swagger is not for the sake of money, and why? ”
"This ......" Mrs. Mei was so oppressed by Ning Yun's aggressive momentum that she couldn't speak.
Ning Yun glanced at the table on the north side of the room, where a tall ink screen was placed. On the table in front of the screen, there is still tea that has not had time to be withdrawn, and behind this, there is obviously still space, but through the screen, it is not real.
Is there anyone else in the back? Good! It's better to hear.
Ning Yun's words were full of sarcasm, and the words were sharp, penetrating the screen, and reaching the ears of the two hidden behind the screen:
"Yu Gong hid in the painting world, it has been six years, during which the price of the painting has risen from 100 taels of silver at the beginning to the current gold is hard to find. If in another three or five years, there is no new birth, the world will definitely wonder if Yu Gong is still alive. You guys...... Do you have to wait until then to make a move? ”
The difference between the work of a painter who is temporarily hidden and the painting of a deceased person can be imagined. Once the world believes that Yu Gong is gone, the value of his works during his lifetime will definitely rise!
Mrs. May was speechless. Because of Ning Yun's words, in one sentence.
The lord did say that Yu Gong's paintings could not be sold now, because the noble man had predicted that in another five years, the value of Yu Gong's paintings would inevitably double, and if he sold them at that time, he would definitely make a lot of money. The nobleman's vision was extremely accurate, and Yu Gong's paintings had just come out of the painting world, and he was sure that this person's paintings would double in value in two years. As it turned out, he was right. He is like a fortune teller who will calculate the future, what he says and thinks is very accurate, and he is respected as a god by Master Mei.
The Mei family is a painting dealer, and it is obviously reasonable to have such a desire to make money, but how can this lady say that she feels that she is at a loss?
Mrs. Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the strange lady in front of her was also a little more embarrassed, so that she really didn't know how to deal with it. I don't know how the lord and the nobles behind the screen should feel when they hear it. Today, I really shouldn't have taken this lady upstairs.
"In that case, then I'll wait a little longer and come to meet Madame for a while! Wish...... We've all been waiting for that day. ”
It is not so easy to dare to use my brother's paintings as "potential stocks" to make money. Even if you can't make it useless, it will make your dreams come true!
Ning Yun left a sharp look, and then took Caiyue's hand and went downstairs to leave.
After Ning Yun left, two people walked out of the ink screen.
"Brother Pei, what do you think?" Master Mei invited the nobles to take their seats again.
"What a place that smells of copper!"
"Ahem", Master Mei coughed a few times and said, "It's really rare that she, a woman, can guess our plans." ”
The black-robed man nodded, thinking back to the woman's solemn voice, which was quite interesting. The voice sounded familiar, and he searched around in his mind, but to no avail.
I don't know what her last sentence meant. Listen, it was as if we were sure that our plans were going to fail. Brother Yi Pei, do we want to ...... "Master Mei is actually scared, you know, the painting of Yugong in Luoying Zhai has been collected with a lot of silver, in case the hexagram of the god in front of him is crooked, then they will not lose a little bit."
The black-robed man took a sip of tea: "A mere woman actually scared our biggest painting dealer in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Master Mei, like this. It seems that she is really not simple. I can't underestimate her. ”
Master Mei couldn't help but laugh a few times.
The black-robed man glanced at him lightly, and then asked, "Did she make a post before she came?" Can you know who it is?"
According to Bianne, the young lady had never made an appointment, but seemed to have come in on a temporary basis when she was passing through here. She also asked on the side, but she didn't want to reveal her identity. But ......" Master Mei paused, lowered his voice slightly, and said: "I have already sent someone to follow this lady's carriage, and at this time, I am afraid that there is already news." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the person sent out by Mrs. Mei came in and replied: "The slave followed the carriage, and finally saw that young lady enter the Xuanguo Mansion, the Shi family." ”
The black-robed man's arm holding the teacup stiffened, but it quickly returned to normal.
Master Mei continued to ask: "Is the news accurate?" Didn't you pass by for tea? ”
The slave watched the young lady enter the gate of the Shi family, and then changed to a sedan chair, and the carriage was also taken away by the Shi family's concierge. I can't be wrong. ”
Master Mei nodded and said, "No wonder it's so imposing, it turned out to be the wife of the Shi family." The old man heard that the Shi family is currently staying in Beijing, and there are three rooms and four rooms from the Shi family, and their heirs are also very thin. This young lady, I don't know which one? ”
Master Mei doesn't know much about the rumors in the Kyoto ladies circle, so naturally he doesn't know that the young lady of the Shi family can't find anyone else except for Grandma Feng.
What he didn't know was that the noble man he called "Brother Pei" in front of him was the big horn of the three rooms of the historian! And he is the only horn who has married a lady.
This big horn, his face is very ugly at the moment.
The Shi family has a few rooms and a few mouths, even if they turn to ashes, he can recognize them. Not to mention through the screen, even if he sneezes through the wall, he can make out the sound. But today, this person has been talking in front of him for most of the day, and he didn't even hear who it was!
Counting it, among all the Shi family, the only one who can make him unrecognizable is her
Shi Lingfeng's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth hooked an arc, and this good-looking face also had some warmth, no longer as cold as Fang Cai: If it was really her, then she would be more and more capable. Originally, he still wanted to "let it go", but now, he can't. He couldn't wait to go back and meet her for a while!
