Tao Zhen put on ugly makeup and went out with a veil.
Seeing this, Chen took Tao Zhen's hand, "Zhen'er, are you going to the pawnshop again?" β
"Hmm."
"Zhen'er, how can you say that you are also your daughter's family, you don't have to guard the pawnshop every day. Isn't there a shopkeeper and a bell steward? β
"Mother, some pawn stewards can't estimate the price, I'm not very relieved."
Chen sighed slightly, "Zhen'er, you saw Jiang Gongzi yesterday, what do you think?" β
It's time to be a matchmaker again! Tao Zhen shook her head helplessly, and emphasized vigorously, "Mother, my daughter said that she would not marry a man who joined the Ye family. β
"Mother knows, you have said this more than a hundred times, and my mother is so annoyed that she hears it. Zhen'er, Jiang Gongzi is a responsible man, can the two try to get along for a few days before deciding? My mother is also worried when you reach the age when you are suitable for marriage. And my father and mother are also old, and I can't take care of you for a lifetime. β
Tao Zhen sighed helplessly, "Mother, my daughter knows." If my daughter is free, she will ask her cousin to arrange for us to meet. You don't have to worry about this matter, your daughter will go to the pawnshop first. β
"Done! That's it. Be careful on the road! Chan patted Tao Zhen's hand.
Tao Zhen left the Ye Mansion in the same month and autumn.
In the attic room of Yip's pawnshop. No different from usual, Innis passed the time by reading books, and occasionally Yueqiu took a few pawns for him to evaluate.
Around noon. Tao Zhen wanted to take a lunch break.
Yueqiu hurriedly knocked on the door, pushed the door in, and looked at Innis anxiously, "Girl, what's wrong?" β
"What's so flustered?" innis spoke unhurriedly.
"Yes...... It's Young Master Moyu's business! β
Innis said a word absently, and there was no follow-up.
Seeing this, Yueqiu was even more anxious, and took Yueshi's hand, "Girl, just now the ** from the drunken Qinglou sent someone to say that Young Master Moyu is here...... I was detained in the drunken green building! β
After hearing this, Innis's eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, which is really worry-free!
Seeing Yueshi's angry appearance, Yueqiu pursed her lips and looked at her cautiously, looking forward to her next step.
Without saying a word, innis gently turned a page of the book, looking intently at the book.
Yueqiu was completely anxious, and shouted worriedly, "Girl! β
Innis reluctantly put down the book in her hand, "Uncle and aunt know?" β
Moon shook his head, "Don't dare to tell them!" β
"How much money you owe, just send it to him!"
Yueqiu stammered for a while, "Girl, it's not a question of how much money you owe!" β
Innis looked at the beginning of the month in a daze, "What's the problem then?" β
"Young Master Moyu and Luo Ying are in ..... bragged in the drunken green building. The beginning of the month looked at innis and said cautiously.
Innis frowned in displeasure, "What does this have to do with falling cherry blossoms?" β
"Uh...... Together, they stole the girl's painting and mortgaged it to Zuiqinglou at a discount. When a boy who knew how to draw saw the girl's painting, he asked if they had made it. And they said yes! The boy asked them to draw one on the spot. β
"Which one did they steal?" Innis held back the anger in her heart and said calmly.
"The girl's favorite one: the picture of red plum stepping on the snow to welcome spring!" After Yueqiu finished speaking, she looked at Innis with a nervous expression.
"Bastard!" Hearing this, Innis slapped the table vigorously, "Did they eat the gall of the ambitious leopard?" Dare to steal that painting too! "That painting was given to her by her master, how could she watch it become tawy and defiled!
Yueqiu lowered her head, "Girl, what should I do next!" β
Innis gritted her teeth angrily, "Let's go!" Take a trip to the Zuiqing Building! β
Yueqiu nodded like a chicken meter by meter.
On the way to the drunken green building, Innis was so anxious that the wind was blowing under her feet, so fast that Yueqiu could only trot behind her.
Drunken Qinglou, a ** with heavy makeup stood in the center of the door, and there were two rows of passers-by on each side watching, what a big aura! Could it be that she was waiting for her?
**Looking at the veiled innis, blocking her way, "Innis, you're finally here." We've been waiting for a while. β
Innis said unhurriedly, "I didn't let you wait for me like this, did I?" Let them all withdraw. β
** smiled proudly, "I can't be the master of this, I can't control their freedom, can I?" β
Innis smiled lightly, "Then the drunken Qinglou will make people see jokes, don't complain!" After finishing speaking, Innis bypassed ** and walked into the Zuiqing Building.
The inside of the drunken green building is even more spectacular.
The large space was filled with people on both sides. In the middle is a table with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it.
When the people in the drunken Qinglou saw Yueshi, they whispered.
When Moyu and Sakura, who were disguised as men, saw Innis, they were overjoyed and saved.
Sakura looked at Innis with a gesture in her eyes.
After Moyu saw Yueshi, she shouted anxiously, ......and before she finished speaking, Yueshi's eyebrows and eyes shot at Moyu with cold anger.
Mo Yu immediately closed his mouth tightly, dead and dead! Almost exposed Zhen'er's true identity!
On the Taishi chair in the middle of the other side sat a man in white clothes and a gentle man, and several attendants stood next to him.
This person is either rich or noble. Innis estimated in her heart and looked at the man in white, "Those two are my friends, I don't know what they have done to be sorry for Childe and make you so embarrassed for them?" β
The man in white has been looking at her since he came in from innis, this person exudes an outstanding temperament, and can attract people's attention wherever he goes, but he is curious about what kind of face is under the veil.
The man in white smiled lightly, "Is it offended?" Just this painting? The man in white spread out the painting in his hand to Innis as he spoke, "This painting is so exquisite and realistic, there is an illusion that people are immersed in the scene, and there are people in the world who are so good at painting, I am just curious." I asked if this red plum tree was painted by your friend, and he said yes. So, in order to see for yourself how this remarkable painting came to be, I wanted your friend to draw another painting that was exactly the same. If I can draw it, I will pay for them for the wine money consumed in Zuiqinglou today. β
"They can't draw this picture, what should you do with them?"
The man in white smiled lightly, "What should I do?" I don't know yet! Anyway, they mortgaged the painting for 10 taels of silver to Zuiqinglou, and their consumption in Zuiqinglou was 100 taels of silver, and they now owe Zuiqinglou 90 taels of silver. β
After hearing this, Yueshi looked at Moyu and Luo Ying with cold eyes, and was angry! 10 taels of silver as a priceless painting collateral? Brainy of the tongue?
When the two of them saw Innis's eyes, they drooped their heads like turtles.
"90 taels of silver, I'll pay them back. And the paintings in your hands, since they are mortgaged, I don't mind spending a little more money to redeem them. β
"Money is not an issue!" Innis emphasises majestically.
The man in white smiled, "Miss Innis is naΓ―ve. I have already bought this painting from Zuixian Lou, and I spent 1,000 taels of silver. β
"What do you mean?" Innis didn't intend to play tricks with him, she just wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, get the painting back, and leave this filthy place, and the man in white who spoke most powerfully at this time was led by his nose and could only listen to his thoughts.
"Who made this painting?" The man in white asked sharply.
"What's the good if I say it?"
"I'll pay for the wine that the two of them consumed in the drunken green building."
Innis smiled coldly, "That's not necessary. Since my friend can come to Zuiqinglou to spend, I can naturally afford to pay for this money. β
"What does innis-chant mean?" The man in white was a little surprised, when was he going to listen to her?
"Give me back the painting in your hand!" Innis couldn't refuse, in fact, she wanted to gamble, he wanted to know who made it more than painting. If she made a mistake, she would have to think of something else.
The man in white chuckled softly, "Miss Innis is really a lion's mouth, you want to take this painting from me for nothing?" β
"If I could spend nothing, I'd be glad to do it; If you don't want to, I'll pay you another 1,000 taels of silver in exchange for this painting. β
"Innis, since I can buy this painting at any cost, money is not a matter to me at all."
"So....." Innis stops at the point.
"Tell me who made it, and I'll give it back to you, but you must grant me one request."
"Nothing?"
"Nothing!"
"What requirements?"
"I haven't figured this out yet." The man in white looked at innis, his eyes flashing, and his lips had a smug look.
"I think about it now. If you think of it, let me know, as long as it's within my means. β
"I can't think of it for a while, and it's not too late to tell you when I think of it in the future, isn't it?"
This is what innis's most disgusted requirement!
"Okay, I hope everyone here can testify for us, this request of the son must have nothing to do with personal freedom and cannot break the law and commit crimes!"
After hearing this, the man in white couldn't help but smile, she thought about it comprehensively! "I promise you it is."
"I made this picture!" Innis's tone was very soft, but it was so quiet that even the air froze.
Three seconds later, the quiet space erupted with restless sounds.
"It's really fake!"
"Could it be a trick!"
"yes......"
Innis stared at the man in white who was noncommittal, ignoring the chatter and incredulous eyes around him.
The man in white looked at Innis fixedly, thoughtful.
Even Hao Yi, who has been watching the show quietly on the second floor, has a little more playfulness in her eyes, and the Zhiyan beside her looks at Yueshi condescendingly, a woman like a fascination, exuding an eye-catching temperament, even she feels that she is superior, not in terms of identity, but in temperament, that kind of wife is born and natural!
Suddenly, the man in white smiled lightly, his lips curled beautifully, got up and walked to Innis's side, looked down at her up close, and couldn't help but be attracted to her misty and deep eyes.
Innis looked ahead, "Childe doesn't believe what I'm saying?" β
The man in white smiled and whispered softly in Innis's ear, "I believe it, but everyone here doesn't believe it." β
"So ......"
The man in white looked at everyone present, "Since you said that this painting was made by you, can you show your hand and let us open our eyes?" β
After hearing the words of the man in white, everyone present was about to fan the flames, "Let's draw one!" β
"That's it!"
