Chapter 37
37. Orpiment powder
Zhan Liantai looked at Qianqian who entered the door, and lost his mind for a moment.
It seems to have gone back to many years ago, he stood under the Mandarin Duck Bridge, watching the woman walk across the bridge, with a smile and a smile, no one can match.
At that time, I was young and could never go back.
Qianqian lowered her eyebrows and held the folding fan with both hands: "The concubine picked up this fan by chance, and the special thing was returned to the original owner." โ
"Thank you." Zhan Liantai approached to retrieve the fan, and his eyes kept falling on her face that was not fully exposed, "You look up." โ
Qianqian only knew that the people present were all important figures, and she could only see the light cloud-colored robe on his lower body, a pair of official boots, and the crystal buckle around his waist with her head half-hung down. The dress is very simple, but it reveals a very high identity and taste. She secretly speculated about this person's identity, could it be an official from the capital? I wonder if it's related to the autumn skull?
While guessing, Qianqian slowly raised her head, and after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, there was only one word left in her mind - Fenghua peerless.
Zhan Liantai seemed to be frightened, his eyes were stunned that could not be concealed, and his body took two steps back, almost falling.
His performance frightened everyone like this, and Qianqian was also very puzzled, only to see Ruan Qijian step over and hug Zhan Liantai, and turn around to reprimand her: "Bold! โ
Qianqian quietly touched her face, thinking that she shouldn't be ...... It's ugly enough to scare people like this, right?
"Ruan Qi, step aside." After Zhan Liantai stabilized his mind, he walked in front of Qianqian again, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" You...... Where are you from? โ
Could it be her? No, she was dead, and he watched her die with his own eyes. But how can there be such alike people in the world? Could it be ...... Could it be......
Zhan Liantai didn't dare to guess anymore. His heart was surging, and he even became short of breath, which surprised Ruan Qihao.
His out-of-control performance made Qianqian feel frightened inexplicably, and she frowned and bowed her head and said, "The concubine is the Lin family in Xuzhou." โ
"Xuzhou Lin's?" Zhan Liantai didn't hear the answer he wanted, his tone was disappointed, he stared at Qianqian intently, trying to find clues that she knew him, but he couldn't see that she had the slightest emotion of old acquaintances.
Maybe it's not that she doesn't recognize him, but that she forgot.
Xu Guang saw that Qianqian came alone, and the uneasy Xianggong was not there, so he happily went over to introduce her: "Miss Lin, this is Lord Zhan, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Lord Zhan, this is the daughter of Lin Zhizhou of Xuzhou Prefecture." It was she who reminded Xiao Sheng that this painting might be a forgery. โ
As soon as he heard that it was Lin Zhizhou's daughter, the white-bearded Yang Ge Lao looked over and was slightly puzzled: "Ling Zun is Lin Geng?" He has settled in Xuzhou for many years, and he has a little friendship with Lin Geng, why has he never heard of such a big daughter?
Qianqianmian did not change his color and his heart did not beat, and asked politely: "Dare to ask the old man if his surname is Yang, he lives in Changle Fang, Xuzhou, and is a neighbor with the surname Wang?" โ
Lord Yang nodded: "It's the old man." โ
"The concubine often heard her father mention you, and my father said that he had received a lot of help from you before, and he will always remember this kindness. You are the mentor of your father, that is, the ancestor of the concubine, please be worshiped by the concubine. Qianqian saluted Yang Ge Lao.
Her words are not nonsense, I think that in Xuzhou, they lived in Yang Ge's old house for a few months in vain, can the details of the master's family not be clear?
Seeing that she spoke and acted without leakage, and with a calm and unhurried bearing, Yang Ge Lao dispelled his doubts and said, "Miss Lin, please get up." With a simple sentence, she affirmed her identity in public.
Zhan Liantai's lips pursed tightly, stretching into a straight line, but he still just looked at Qianqian quietly, ignoring the surprised gazes of others.
Qianqian thought this person was strange, and she tried to remember if she had met him, or if there was him among the people she had lied to...... After thinking about it again and again, she finally gave a negative answer, since beating her to walk the rivers and lakes, she has never provoked him such an eye-catching character. But she seemed to really know him again, those eyes, dรฉjร vu.
Lord Xu and Zhu Ting devoted themselves to the ancient paintings, ignoring the disputes here, Xu Guang said from his own selfish intentions of course he didn't want Qianqian to leave so quickly, and Zhan Liantai and Lord Yang did not express their position, so Qianqian stayed "logically" to appreciate the ancient paintings.
Lord Xu was anxious, seeing that the birthday banquet was about to start, whether this painting could be exhibited or not, and a decision must be made as soon as possible. He urged Zhu Ting, who was looking at the painting: "Master Zhu, how is it?" โ
Zhu Ting's whole person almost lay on the painting, and the more he looked at it, the more puzzled he became: "The painting scroll is made of white linen paper from the previous dynasty, and the ink is also old, not like a new work, even the brushwork is an orchid leaf line willow leaf drawing, you look at this character copy painting, as the saying goes, Wu takes the wind, that's it." โ
"Is it the real thing?"
Lord Xu thought it was a false alarm, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhu Ting pointed to the seal and shouted.
"Look, there's a sign of alteration here!"
I saw that there was some yellow-white powder on the edge of the seal, Zhu Ting dipped his finger in it, and said: "It's orpiment, this seal was added later, and the bottom should be the real seal." โ
Students often make clerical mistakes when they read and write, so they use orpiment to modify, which is something that everyone who reads knows, so there is an idiom "letter to female yellow".
Zhan Liantai also went to check the payment, and found that in addition to the orpiment powder, the ink of this payment showed a bright red eye color, he frowned and twisted his fingers, feeling that the hand felt similar to women's rouge, and it seemed to have a fragrance, very light.
Qianqian saw that they had already seen the "clues", and hurriedly said: "The concubine also felt that this seal was not quite right, so she told Xu Gongzi, I don't know who made this painting?" What's engraved on the one below? โ
As soon as she said it, it aroused everyone's curiosity, and Zhu Ting had a lot of experience in studying ancient paintings, so he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly bring raw flour." โ
Xu Guang wondered: "What do you want flour for?" โ
Qianqian's "kind-hearted" explanation: "Ancient paintings are precious, and they will break if you wipe them with a little force. โ
Xu Guang suddenly realized and praised in a low voice: "Miss Lin is really smart. "The more I look at her, the more amorous she becomes, I don't know what it will be like to get started? For a moment, he began to get excited again.
Qianqian smiled modestly: "The son has won the award, and the concubine is just a small skill of carving insects, and in front of Lord Zhu, it is the class that has an axe." โ
Her very knowledgeable appearance attracted Zhu Ting's attention, and he pointed to Qianqian and said, "You come and help me." โ
The raw flour was delivered, and Qianqian helped to add water to knead it into a ball, and took it to Zhu Ting to test the viscosity, too sticky will leave stains on the painting, and less stickiness is not enough to remove the traces of forgery. Finally rubbed until Zhu Ting was satisfied, Qianqian worked with him, slowly and little by little, the ink at the place of payment was glued off, revealing the mark underneath.
This seal is printed with four inexplicable words of "ever-changing", and I can't see the meaning for a while, but I can only affirm that it is definitely not Wu Sheng's seal.
"Lord Zhu, it's almost." The pseudo-seal on the surface was removed by seven or eight points, and Qianqian reminded Zhu Ting, "I can already see it clearly underneath, if I continue, the concubine is worried that the painting paper will be damaged." โ
Only then did Zhu Ting throw the dough and sigh at this disguised picture of hell, very regretful: "It's a pity that it's a fake!" This painting is quite Wu Sheng's style, if it is not a mistake in the payment, I am afraid that even I will not be able to distinguish the real from the fake. โ
Lord Xu was so frightened that his legs were weak, the painting of the imperial gift was actually fake? He asked Zhu Ting, "What the hell is going on with this painting?" Got dropped a bag? โ
Zhu Ting said: "Judging from the scroll painting paper, this painting has survived for more than two hundred years, and it should have been copied by the people of the previous dynasty, but it was only Wu Sheng's money." It's no wonder that the imitator is superb in painting, and he is not under Wu Sheng, so when the saint rewarded him, he didn't know that this painting was not genuine. โ
Such a statement made Lord Xu feel a lot more at ease, but in any case, the "authentic handiwork" of the imperial gift became a forgery, and it was not good to hear it when it came out, and it was inevitable that the face of the heavenly family would be swept away. And Lord Xu is also worried, the matter of appreciating the paintings at the birthday banquet has been decided, and the dignitaries and dignitaries gathered, how could he go back on his word? You can't really show off with a fake picture!
Seeing Master Xu pacing back and forth in the room, so worried that his hair was about to turn white, Xu Guang had a wit and pointed at Qianqian: "Dad, Miss Lin still has a painting!" โ
"In fact, my father and adults are officials in the same dynasty, and they are both people who love painting, so it is not strange to meet friends with paintings." Qianqian is generous and decent, smiling and gentle, "The concubine is brave, and wants to exchange a statue of the Peacock King in her hand for the disguised picture of hell in your mansion, and I also ask Lord Xu to cut her love." โ
Regardless of whether the ancient paintings given by the emperor are real or fake, they cannot be lost, burned or destroyed, but if this hot potato can be thrown out of the coffin, it would be great if someone else took over!
The situation is compelling, and the top priority is to solve the dilemma in front of him, and Lord Xu didn't want to think about it, so he agreed.
So Qianqian covered his mouth and smiled, went out and called Miao Fan in, he opened the box in his hand to draw easy to draw.
Zhan Liantai held the folding fan and looked at Qianqian and Miao Fan with interest, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Ruan Qifang felt that Qianqian was familiar, he thought for a long time and finally remembered, and whispered urgently: "My lord, she ......"
She is the woman who cheated all the way from Jianing County, and they still have her portrait in their hands!
"Shh Zhan Liantai put his finger on his lips and motioned for him to be silent, looking at Qianqian's eyes with a tender feeling that could not be dissolved.
changed the painting, Qianqian didn't stay to attend the birthday banquet, and found an excuse to leave. She and Miao Fan had just left Xu's mansion, and before they got into the sedan chair, they heard someone shouting "stay behind", and the two turned around and saw Zhu Ting hurriedly chasing after them.
Qianqianwan smiled, and became a bamboo in his chest. She pushed Miao Fan and said, "He must have come to invite you to tea, you can go with him, bring the painting with you, and find an opportunity to give it to him." โ
Miao Fan was confused: "Why do you want to send him?" โ
"Haven't you heard that a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others?" Qianqian covered her mouth and yawned, showing tiredness, "You and I don't collect ancient paintings, but he is a painting idiot, so you should make more friends and give the paintings to others generously." โ
Sure enough, Zhu Ting approached the arch hand, stared at the painting box in Miao Fan's hand, and asked urgently: "I wonder if Your Excellency has time to talk to me?" โ
Miao Fan was still hesitating to agree, and Qianqian had already helped him make the decision: "Xianggong, you can go, the concubine will go home by herself, and it won't be in the way." โ
So Miao Fan followed Zhu Ting, and Qianqian also got on the sedan chair and staggered back to Zhuzhi Lane.
After arriving home, Master Lu sent the sedan chair driver, and when he was about to enter the door, he found Qianqian standing at the gate, staring motionlessly at the plum tree in front of the door of the house next door.
He smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Hungry for plums? โ
"It's not that I'm greedy, it's someone who is greedy." Qianqian's fingers hooked a jade pendant, she dangled and played, tilting her head with an innocent expression, "Uncle Lu, according to the law of my dynasty, what is the crime of adultery?" โ
"and adulterers, men and women shall be imprisoned for a year and a half; If he has a husband, he shall be imprisoned for two years. Master Lu told her, and wondered, "Why are you asking this?" โ
Qianqian pouted and dissatisfied: "Why is the punishment so light!" Won't it be dragged directly to the dipping pig cage? โ
Master Lu paused and said, "Although the law stipulates this, when this kind of thing happens, most people will deal with it on their own, and it will be disgraceful to say it after all." โ
Qianqian immediately jumped up: "In other words, if you are caught, you can be beaten to death, right?" โ
"That's right...... But you can't kill people. Master Lu looked at her happy little appearance, his intuition was not good, and he asked seriously, "What do you want to do?" โ
"There's a nasty woman who wants to rob me...... Things, I heard that she doesn't abide by women's morals, and I'm going to tell her husband and let her learn a lesson. Uncle Lu, don't worry, I won't cause trouble. โ
Qianqian Gao threw up the jade pendant Xu Guang gave her, then caught it with her hand and giggled at the sky.
The author has something to say: Lalala, do you think Qianqian is just simply dealing with the little overlord? She's got a better idea, and the little liar is a little villain! \(โงโฝโฆ)/
