Zhao Qu followed Shen Zhonglei's gaze and said in surprise: "This is the true work of Master Wanquan?" I didn't expect you to have such a good collection, I have to appreciate and learn it. ”

Shen Zhonglei's eyes were a little fluctuating, as if he had seen something else through the scroll.

Fortunately, he came back to his senses quickly, and after accompanying Zhao Qu to see the house, he accompanied him to have lunch, and then he said goodbye with Xu and returned to the courtyard of the main house.

Xu accompanied Mrs. Zhao for lunch in the inner room at noon, and also met the two daughters of the Zhao family, and then went to see Mrs. Zhao, thinking that everything was very well entertained.

When he returned to the main room, he was still talking to Shen Zhonglei: "Now that I am about to enter the wax moon, it is already the root of the year, it is not good to let the Zhao family celebrate the New Year on the road, it is better to leave people for the New Year?" Just a few days later, I am going to make new clothes for the New Year for the whole family, and when the time comes, even the Zhao family will prepare it together, and there are just a few horses at home that my brother brought back from the capital this autumn, which is fashionable in Beijing, and it is ......just right to cut clothes for a few girls."

She babbled for a long time, but she never heard Shen Zhonglei's response, and couldn't help but look up at him a little strangely, but she was facing Shen Zhonglei's angry expression.

"Master......" Xu thought he was still angry about the morning's affairs, and hurriedly explained, "Yi Hao brought the maid hair this time, and he didn't say anything about the Duobao Pavilion and the Bisha Cabinet before he broke it, and now I know that the family is going to use the East Cross Courtyard to entertain guests, so I was so scared that I couldn't say it, I hurriedly sent someone to replace everything in the room with the Duobao Pavilion and the Bisha Cabinet, which delayed the time......"

Who is Shen Zhonglei angry is not this matter at all, he patted the table and asked, "Where did that painting come from?" ”

Xu Shi sighed in his heart when he heard this, could it be that there was something in Liu's dowry, and Shen Zhonglei was also clear?

Seeing that the Xu family was speechless, Shen Zhonglei was even more angry and said: "At the beginning of the continuation, my mother said that you were good, and the reason why I agreed was that I thought that you were from a small family, you should be sensible and able to behave, and you will be good to Shu'er, and you have been able to do it well over the years, but now that Shu'er is about to reach the age of Jilu, you actually started to beat the idea of the dowry left by her mother?" ”

Xu Shi was dumbfounded, and his explanations were choked by Shen Zhonglei's last sentence, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

"Master, I've been in the Shen family for more than ten years, if it's anything else, I don't dare to say that I didn't make the slightest mistake or omission, there will always be some places that I can't reach, but if you say that I calculate Tianshu's things, then you really wronged me!"

"Are you still quibbling?" Shen Zhonglei was furious when he heard this, stood up suddenly, kicked over the chair in front of him and said, "Then tell me, where did you get that painting of Master Wanquan?" Could it be that I went to the street to buy a fake? Xu Yurou, Xu Yurou, you want to lie to me and be tender! Let me tell you, I not only tasted that painting with Yaxuan back then, but also copied it together, not to mention that it has only been more than ten years, even if it turns to ashes, I will recognize it! ”

Xu's mouthful of old blood was in his chest, he was really uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but say: "Yaxuan Yaxuan, you only have Yaxuan in your heart!" When you open your eyes, I am the one who has been with you for more than ten years and gave you children, am I still not as good as a painting?

"That painting was just hung by me when I borrowed it from Tianshu in order to entertain Lord Zhao's family, if you don't believe it, you can ask her! You accuse me without listening to my explanation, although I came from a small family, I would not do such a thing. ”

Shen Zhonglei listened to Xu's explanation, although he hadn't gone to testify with Shen Tianshu, he actually believed most of it in his heart.

Although Xu Shiping is a little eccentric and cares too much about his mother's family, he has never had anything wrong with it.

He was also in a hurry just now, and at this time he realized that he might blame the wrong person, and his face was a little unbearable for a while, but he couldn't let go of his body to apologize, so he simply flicked his sleeves and left.

Xu Shi had the courage to vent, but he didn't get any response, watching Shen Zhonglei brush his sleeves away, facing the empty room, and finally lay on the couch and sobbed.

Shen Zhonglei walked out of the courtyard in a bad mood, and he didn't know where to go for a while, so he simply went straight to Shuangtang Courtyard.

Shen Tianshu was already preparing to take a nap, but when he heard that Shen Zhonglei was coming, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect him to come so quickly.

As she got up and put on it again, she asked Mingyu in a low voice, "How is my father's face?" ”

"The master's face doesn't seem to look good, could it be that the lady is blowing some pillow wind again? The girl should be careful when she speaks. ”

Shen Tianshu didn't find many fragments of father and daughter getting along from the memory of the original owner.

Compared with the rest of the family, Shen Zhonglei is not bad to this eldest daughter, but he puts all his mind on official affairs and rarely cares about the affairs of the back house, so the relationship between father and daughter is not very good.

"Father." Shen Tianshu came to the hall, and sure enough, he saw that Shen Zhonglei's expression was not very good.

However, at the moment of seeing his daughter, Shen Zhonglei's expression was still a little stretched.

"Shu'er looks more and more like your mother now as she grows older!" Shen Zhonglei had just been reminded of his deceased wife because of Master Wanquan's paintings, and now when he saw his daughter, this feeling was even worse, and he felt that his nose was sour for a while.

Shen Tianshu lowered his head slightly and said softly: "It's a pity that I was too young when my mother passed away, and I didn't have any impression of my mother. ”

When Shen Zhonglei heard this, he immediately fell into memory.

"yes, you were only a few months old. At that time, I held you and stayed in front of your mother's spirit, eager to follow your mother and go underground to be a pair of ghost mandarin ducks, which is better than the separation of yin and yang, and you can't see each other.

"But just as I was thinking this, you suddenly burst into tears in my arms. I looked down at you, tears flowed out at once, you are my flesh and blood with Yaxuan, you were so young at the time, you had already lost your mother, how could I bear to abandon you and make you an orphan......"

Looking at Shen Zhonglei's moist eyes and sad face, Shen Tianshu couldn't help but put the position of this cheap dad up again in his heart.

When she was tidying up the treasury, she found that in the dowry left by the Liu family, many books and calligraphy and paintings had the handwriting left by the two of them.

It is not difficult to see between the lines the beauty of the two newlyweds Yan'er, Qin Se and Ming.

For example, the painting she lent to Xu, on the mounted paper on the back, there is the emotion left by Shen Zhonglei and Liu when they first appreciated the painting together.

The reason why Shen Tianshu lent this painting to Xu was that he also wanted to test Shen Zhonglei's meaning, but he didn't expect the effect to be so immediate.
