Chapter 18: Shameless
"Master Hou, this is also our family." Yaqing was really happy, she really didn't expect this family to be embarrassed by this.
The painting of her family was hung in the lobby of their house so grandly, and she turned around and smiled at the Liu family and his wife, "You also put the seal on this painting and hang it again!" ”
"This is my mother's house!" Mrs. Liu couldn't help but say, and pointed to the other seal below.
Yaqing took a look at the seal of the Guo family, and her biological mother was surnamed Guo. Braid, that is the mother's number, not the seal of the Guo family, but the mother's private seal. Therefore, she will be familiar with this painting in her mother's boudoir, and before her mother died, this painting was familiar to her in her mother's room.
"No wonder I feel familiar, Master Hou, this is my mother's idle chapter, and the number on it was given by my father for her. I think I was familiar with my mother's side before I entered the palace. Yaqing sighed lightly and gently touched the seal, "If my aunt likes my mother's things, she won't be so ......."
Mrs. Liu's face darkened and her hands trembled, but she couldn't speak. Yaqing also said that the Guo family's idle chapter belonged to her sister, and the number was given by her brother-in-law for her after her sister got married. This painting is stamped with this seal, and the question of ownership is really difficult to explain.
It can be said that this is a collection of paintings in the Gongshulou, because Mrs. Gao likes it, so she stamped her own idle seal as a record of appreciation, which is very common among literati.
"Little Hou Ye, this is really the aunt's marriage, after the aunt's death, the brother-in-law gave this painting to Neiko as a souvenir. Otherwise, the lower officials would not have hung this painting here. Liu Houye's expression was like crying.
Hao Ren hurriedly got up, and just asked people to go to the back to search for books, but it was dark under the light. I took a look at it in the past, and it was the seal of the Gao family, and then I took a look at Mrs. Gao's idle seal. There were countless circles in my head.
Yaqing's maternal grandfather, the Guo family, is not a famous family. Being able to marry the Gao family is the credit of the emperor's ancestor. That is, the emperor and his old man. The emperor was not very satisfied with those famous nobles waiting for death and grasping military power, so he supported a group of generals who had no foundation to come out. Mrs. Guo is one of them!
As the emperor's confidant and general, even if he has no roots and no foundation, people have to take care of him, so the emperor is the master and lets Gao Guo marry. At that time, no one was optimistic about this marriage, Hao Ren knew that it was because of this fact that he was actually quite famous back then, and even the eldest princess, who didn't like to talk about long to short, couldn't help but say it a few times in front of her son.
The emperor was anxious to take back the military power, also because it was an eventful time at that time, and Mrs. Guo lived up to his expectations and led the troops to quell the rebellion, so there was no battle that he could not fight. It is precisely because of this that the Guo family has a rich background, and it is not the opponent of the Gao and Liu families.
Mrs. Guo's only worry is that she only has two daughters and no sons. He didn't bother to bother anymore, and came back with a nephew. But the old lady was very sober-minded, and he really didn't point to what his adopted son could do, leaving some land as the family foundation, and the rest of the soft ones were given to the two daughters as dowries.
The eldest daughter was allowed by the emperor to the noble Gao family, so the dowry was all calligraphy, painting, and antiques that the old man snatched back that year. He didn't understand it either, anyway, he heard that it was valuable, so he took it back. After that, I put it in the cabinet and stored it well, and I never touched it lightly, so I changed it to a new box and carried it to Gao's house.
When the second daughter arrived, the dowry was gold, silver, precious stones, and other extremely valuable things. Back then, many people's eyes were blinded, otherwise Marquis Liu would not dare to make a mistake to his wife now.
But the eldest princess disagreed with the emperor's marriage. The Guo family has no background at all, so in her mind, Gao Yang, who is like a Zhilan jade tree, went to marry the daughter of a rude military general, and the eldest princess felt that her father was messing with the mandarin duck spectrum.
Not only does the eldest princess think so, but all over the capital, and people who have daughters in the same period think so. I heard that when the dowry was done at that time, the dowry of the eldest daughter seemed to be equal to that of the second daughter, but the actual value was worlds apart. And the later it gets, the bigger the gap.
So this is Mrs. Gao's dowry, Hao Ren really believes it. Only, so what? stared at the painting for a while, and then glanced back at the Marquis Liu.
"Lord Liu, you're really shameless. Put the paintings in other people's homes so grandly in the lobby of your own home, you think everyone doesn't know how to read, right? ”
"Hou Ye, this is my brother-in-law......" Hou Ye Liu didn't blush this time, he was angry. I didn't hear what I said just now, he also lived to be forty years old, and he really didn't be scolded by anyone.
"Marquis Liu, are you blind? There is the mark of 'Reading Building' on this! Hao Ren pulled Yaqing behind him, and he leaned down on his face and spitted, "Even though this is Mrs. Gao's dowry, the person has already stamped the seal of the Gongyulou, what does it mean, understand?" I said Master Hou, I haven't studied, please restrain yourself, don't make people laugh. ”
The reading building is the library of the Gao family, it is said to be a collection of books, in fact, it also hides some calligraphy and paintings, and the books, calligraphy and paintings there are carefully selected for the successive heads of the Gao family, and they are to be passed on to future generations. So he signed the chapter of the common reading, which was not easy for even Gao Yang to give away, indicating that this belonged to the family, not to Gao Yang's personal.
So even if it is Mrs. Gao's dowry, as long as you sign the chapter of the common reading building, it will also be returned to the public. Besides, even if she doesn't return to the father, Mrs. Gao doesn't have no heirs, so why should she give it to her sister and not pass it on to her children and grandchildren?
"It's really a brother-in-law......" Marquis Liu still wanted to finish speaking, although this painting is valuable, but his face is more valuable!
"Yes, people borrow you for appreciation, not for you. Borrow your stuff and hang it here? said that you are shameless, and I really didn't wronged you. Hao Ren said again, turned back to Yaqing and said, "By the way, I'll ask your father again when I go back, who else asked him if he borrowed things and money, and I will ask you for it back." ”
"Alas, Master Hou!" Yaqing sighed lightly again. In this life, she often feels speechless for this little marquis.
With no hatred between them, she often didn't know what to think of the man. All kinds of things in the previous life, from time to time to get the comparison of the present, how do you think of it, this life, why is it so weird?
"Alright, alright, I understand. Your dad must have been forced! Your father wants face, and people don't have shame. is still holding it hostage with the name of a relative, what can he do. "Hao Ren is really not a good person, and he doesn't mind anyway.
The Liu family couple's faces will be red and black for a while, but there will be suffering. This painting was brought back by Mrs. Liu herself, and this painting has been hanging in her sister's bedroom, although it is not the most expensive one of her dowries, but it is also worth a thousand gold. She felt that her father was partial, waiting for her sister to die, so she asked for this painting back, and the funeral was done by the grandmother in the palace at that time, and she also helped with internal affairs, Gao Yang couldn't bear to refuse, so he took this painting as a thank you gift.
Otherwise, no matter what they do, they will not be placed in the main hall of their own house. But now that Gao Yang is in Dali Temple, and Yaqing has made it clear that she is here to take revenge, even if it is true, she has to say that Gao Yang can not get out of it, the feud between the two families is settled, is it still useful to say anything?
