The night was dark, Xiaomei walked in front with a lantern, Chu Mingxin carried the roasted fish bought from the deli shop, followed closely, there was a faint moaning sound in the dark alley, Xiaomei was startled, her hand trembled, and she almost smashed the lantern to the ground, but because of the shaking, the candlelight in the lantern went out, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

"Sister?"

"It's okay, light the fire!" Chu Mingxin stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xiaomei's shoulder, because of the weight on Xiaomei's shoulder, she knew that there was someone around her, so she was not so afraid, took out the fire fold from her waist, and lit the candle in the lantern with trembling hands.

As soon as there is light, my heart seems to be less afraid.

Xiaomei carried the lantern and turned her head to look at the dark alley with a moan.

Chu Mingxin had already taken a step to go to the dark alley, and Xiaomei hurriedly grabbed her, "Sister, don't go." ”

"Don't be afraid, someone is probably injured, let's go take a look." Although the time spent abroad is not short, Chu Ming is still the delicate girl raised in the deep boudoir in his heart.

Received a good upbringing, and has always been very well protected by her parents and brothers, even if she has met someone with evil intentions, but her wariness of people is still not as strong as a child like Xiaomei.

Although Xiaomei is young, she grew up in the bottom society of the capital since she was a child, and her mother used her as a person, and her uncle would occasionally give a little favor, but if her mother wanted to repair her, her uncle would only stand by.

will help Chu Mingxin because she doesn't want this beautiful sister to be like her mother, making an outer room for others, and she doesn't want her to become like her mother in the future, so she doesn't want Chu Mingxin to take risks.

"I'll go and see, sister, just stay on the street." As soon as Xiaomei finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, if she went to see it herself, the lantern would be left to her sister. Even if she goes into the dark alley, she can't see clearly! If you don't leave the lantern to your sister, your sister will definitely be afraid.

Xiaomei was in a dilemma, Chu Mingxin took her hand, "Let's just go in and see it together." ”

"Then, that sister walks behind me, what's the matter, let's run faster."

Chu Mingxin knew that he was not just walking slowly. I can't run fast. Listening to Xiaomei's arrangement, she didn't think she was angry, and one big and one small went to the dark alley hand in hand.

The east corner gate of Du Mansion. A few servants hung the lantern on the door, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw several horses running from afar. The leading knight reined in front of the door, and the horse raised its head and neighed. The first few knights turned over and dismounted, and their movements were not as smooth as those of the knights who took the lead, and the little man in front of the door stood stupidly, and the door in the door heard the movement. But he didn't hear the greetings of the little guys, and hurriedly threw down the half-eaten meal and rushed out.

Who is this?

As it was still cold, the knights wore cloaks. Unable to see clearly under the hood.

"Uncle Gui, is my sister here?"

The boy's voice was hoarse. It seemed that he hadn't drunk water to moisten his throat for a long time, and it seemed to be a period of voice change, Gui Bo immediately recognized it, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile. "It turned out to be Young Master Fan Qi! Please come in, and the little one will send someone to inform the second young grandmother. ”“

"There is labor."

Menzi pointed to a small servant and asked him to go in to report, and he personally welcomed Fan Anyue into the door, and the accompanying chief and guards also followed the others into the door.

When Fan Anyang received the news that her brother came to the door, she was playing with Xiao Niannian and teasing Xiaobao, because Fan Anyue would always bring some gadgets to Niannian when she came to the door, so as soon as she heard that Uncle Fan was coming, she happily said to Xiaobao, "Uncle Xiaolu is here, he will send us a lot of toys to play with!" You're not happy. ”

Xiaobao nodded solemnly, and responded in a milky voice: "Happy." ”

Xiao Niannian laughed, and was about to go down the kang to pick up people, but Granny Fang caught her, "Miss, take your time, don't be in a hurry!" Uncle Fan will be there for a while! ”

Fan Anyang asked, "What can the Seventh Young Master say?" ”

It must be urgent, otherwise he wouldn't have come here at night, and depending on the situation, he probably went to Du's house as soon as he entered Beijing, and he hadn't gone home yet!

"I didn't say it, but the person who came to deliver the message said that his face didn't look good."

Fan Anyang didn't find out until Fan Anyue sat down in front of him, this is called a bad face? All the faces are blue, okay!

Xiao Niannian's sister and brother met Fan Anyue, and after receiving the gift given to them by Fan Anyue, they had already asked the nurse to take them down to play, and at this time in the hall, only their sister and brother and Xianxiang were waiting.

Fan Anyang knew that he hadn't eaten yet, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring the food over, and watched his younger brother finish the meal in one go with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, Fan Anyang couldn't help but be speechless.

After eating and drinking, Fan Anyue calmed down and took out the things he brought, "This is what we found in Jizhou on this trip." ”

Buying and selling imitation paintings, antiques, all dynasties and dynasties, and even some people directly indicate that what they sell is imitation, it is fake, the price is not high, and it is sold exclusively to people who want to be vassally elegant but do not have so much money, but the forgery technology found this time is very high, not only imitation paintings, all kinds of antique treasures, and the number is amazing.

Yan Chi originally thought that it was just a small fight, so that Fan Anyue would lead people to follow the vine and trace it all the way, wanting to hone the little apprentice, but he didn't expect that he would track it all the way to King Lu's mansion.

"Are you sure that the boss behind the scenes is the prince of King Lu's mansion?" Fan Anyang picked up the Pisces jade pendant that Fan Anyue brought back, she didn't study these things, and she couldn't tell whether it was true or false, but this Pisces jade pendant was very good, and she rubbed it in her hand.

"This piece of jade is fake, it is processed with inferior jade to make it look like this, it looks like an antique, the jade itself, I can't see the authenticity, but this carving is too flexible, this is an old thing in the Jin Dynasty, the carving knife at that time is not as dexterous as the carving knife we use now, this line is too smooth."

Fan Anyang nodded, and then looked at the few paintings he brought, "This is an imitation of Master's paintings?" ”

Fan Anyue bowed his jaw, "Sister, do you remember that King Lu married a daughter to Yun Dufei?" ”

Not what she thinks, right? "Could it be that after marrying my daughter to the Yun family, I thought of using this to make money?"

"That workshop has been open for at least 20 years, and the Lu Wangfu has been collecting money from this for a long time, not a business that has only been done in the past two years."

Yan Chi's stewardship to Fan Anyue is good at checking accounts, and some are good at distinguishing the authenticity of artworks, although Fan Anyue is not as shrewd as his eldest brother, but he has a flexible brain. was able to trace all the way from the calligraphy and painting shop in Beijing to the base camp in Jizhou, all relying on him to put together the fragmentary clues and piece them together little by little.

Originally, Yan Chi was a little worried, and handed over this matter to Fan Anyue to handle, whether this kid would mess up, but he didn't want to, he actually pieced together the whole picture.

"If that's what you say. This business. They have been in business for so many years, how can they not see a hint of wind coming out? ”

"They're careful, it's a very secretive circle. The people who bought thought that they had bought it was genuine, and thought that they had stolen it, and feared that it would be known and the owner would come to ask for it. The government came to the door, so they wouldn't make a public announcement. And those who sell are even more careful. It's not introduced by acquaintances, they don't take business at all. ”

Fan Anyue tried his best to investigate the matter, but he racked his brains, and the whole person was thin and out of shape. The round cheeks before leaving Beijing are now stiff, and the wind and frost on the road and the difficulties encountered are like knives, and a knife chiseles away the youth's youth. The arrogance and arrogance in those eyes disappeared and precipitated. He is a man who is strong enough to take on heavy responsibilities.

"Sister, do you know who the shop in Beijing that sells fake paintings belongs to?"

"Who's?" Fan Anyang held his cheeks and looked at his younger brother curiously.

They are dragon and phoenix twins, they were born like each other, and now there is finally an obvious difference, Fan Anyang looked at Fan Anyue's face, a little reluctant, and a little distressed, Xiaolu is a boy, and he will take on the responsibility of supporting his family in the future, so he can't let him go, and he has never known the world.

His temperament is different from that of the eldest brother, the eldest brother has been calm and old since he was a child, and he has done things successfully, but Xiaolu is not, he is the kind of freewheeling character, he thinks of it, he does it, and the eldest brother is very light and integrated into the officialdom, and soon won the emperor's trust.

The trail doesn't work.

So he didn't want to go to the Chun Fu exam, and his grandfather didn't force him, so he let him go, but he was afraid that he would go the wrong way, so he discussed with the master and found something for him to do.

As long as she speaks, Xiaolu has nothing to do, even if he doesn't want to go, he will still do it obediently in the end.

When I go back, I have to settle the account with the master. Fan Anyang scolded and said to Fan Anyue: "It's curfew, do you want to rest in the studio for one night, or do you want to rush home?" ”

"If you don't go back, Ming'er wants you to accompany me to tell Master about this! I'll go back to sleep for a while, and I'll come back to pick you up again, forget it! I'll spend the night in the studio. ”

"When you go back to Beijing, can you send someone home to say something?"

Fan Anyue scratched his chin, his chin was itchy, probably because the stubble came out, "It seems to be, hey, or not?" Forgot! ”

Fan Anyang glared at him angrily, turned his head and asked someone to send a letter to her mother.

Fan Anyue looked left and right, "What about normalcy?" ”

"Call brother-in-law."

"Where's my brother-in-law? Why haven't you come back so late? Fan Anyue only found out at this time that Du Yunxun had not been seen.

"The emperor sent him out of Beijing on business."

"Where are you going?" Fan Anyue asked, but Fan Anyang didn't answer him, and asked, "You just said, whose shop sells fake paintings in Beijing?" ”

Fan Anyue was stunned and looked at his sister in disbelief, "Sister, why did you become stupid?" ”

"Am I getting stupid?" Qu Zhi greeted Fan Anyue's forehead. "Got stupid there?"

Fan Anyue asked rhetorically: "I told you that the boss behind the scenes is the prince of King Lu, and you still want to ask me?" What's not stupid? ”

"Do you want to talk about it?" Fan Anyang decided not to dwell on the question of whether he was stupid or not.

"Say, I say, I say yes." Fan Anyang raised his hands to make a surrender form, "It's the daughter of King Lu's son, the daughter who married Yun Dufei!" ”

When Fan Anyang heard the answer, her face immediately turned red, she was really told by her brother, she really became stupid!

"How could it be her?"

"Why not her? Yun Dufei will not make money, and if he spends money lavishly, even if the dowry is rich, it is forbidden to have no money in the public school! So she started the idea of her father's property near Huzhou.

King Lu's workshop in Jizhou has always been extremely cautious, and he will hand over the imitation paintings to the shops in Beijing to sell on his behalf, which is because of Chu Mingyue. (To be continued)
