Xu Yihao finally agreed to move to the West Cross Courtyard, and Xu immediately mobilized everyone in the Shen Mansion to clean up the house.

All the smashed furniture was removed, and it was found in the storeroom and put it on again, and the bed tents and curtains were hung up again, and the things had to be taken again to fill the Duobao Pavilion.

That's all, there is no substitute for the painting that was damaged by Xu Yihao.

The Xu family was in a hurry, but this thing could not be bought casually on the street, and finally had to go to Shuangtang Courtyard in person.

Shen Tianshu was dressed in homely clothes and was writing on the kang table.

She has been reading the medical books and notes left by the original owner's mother when she has nothing to do recently, and she happened to be inspired today and is seizing the time to record it.

"Girl, Madame is here." Rui'er walked quickly into the house and preached.

Minghui couldn't help but shrink a little when she heard this, she had listened to Shen Tianshu's instructions before, and went to the East Cross Courtyard to wear a few words, very worried that the Xu family was here to ask the master for sin.

Shen Tianshu couldn't get used to her appearance, and reprimanded: "Stand up straight, what are you afraid of, since I let you go, I won't harm you!" ”

Minghui immediately straightened up, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.

"Tianshu!" Xu Shi entered the door, with a smile on his face, which was too kind.

"Mother." Shen Tianshu got up to greet him, let the person into the house and sit down, and asked the maid to prepare refreshments.

After Xu sat down, he looked at Shen Tianshu with a smile and said, "Tianshu, I came here today because I had a reluctant request." ”

"If my mother has any orders, I just say no, why do I come here in person."

Xu Shi hummed and chirped a little difficult to speak, and finally had no choice, his heart was horizontal, his teeth were gritted, and he said: "Tianshu, that's the case, a calligraphy and painting on the wall of the East Cross Courtyard was damaged by the next person when he was cleaned up, and seeing that your father is about to bring Lord Zhao's family back, the wall is bare and really ugly, I can't find an object of this grade for a while, so I have to come to you." ”

"Oh, mother mean, you want to take a pair of calligraphy and paintings from my mother's dowry and hang it?"

Xu Shi's face turned red when she asked, but he had to nod, and then emphasized: "It's just a loan for a while, and when the guests leave, I'll send it back to you immediately." ”

Shen Tianshu's biological mother, Liu, is from Hangzhou, and is a local family, with a very wealthy family.

When I married in Taiyuan Mansion, it was really ten miles of red makeup.

The front of the dowry procession has already entered the gate of the Shen family, and the back has not yet entered the city gate.

Cheng Dan's dowry was placed in the courtyard of the Shen Mansion for three days and three nights, until now, as long as the Taiyuan Mansion mentions the scenery of marrying, it is still the daughter of the Liu family who married into the Shen family more than ten years ago.

Although Xu has always coveted this dowry that has been classified under Shen Tianshu's name, she is also a person who wants to save face, and she will never do the kind of thing of embezzling her stepdaughter's dowry.

Once it spreads, it will not only lose your own face, but also affect your children's marriage and future.

"Mother is really outward, Lord Zhao has made remarkable achievements, and now he has won the emperor's appreciation, it is about to rise in a blink of an eye, it is rare that we have the opportunity to entertain Lord Zhao's family, so that my father can consolidate the friendship between my father and Lord Zhao, and my mother can also have a good relationship with Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, and it will be very helpful to our family in the future, just borrow a calligraphy and painting to hang it, what is it!"

Xu didn't expect Shen Tianshu to agree so happily, and he simply guessed her thoughts.

Although Shen Zhonglei has always said that he has a very good relationship with Zhao Qu, it was six or seven years ago.

No matter how good the relationship was back then, the classmates who had a good relationship back then were thousands of miles apart after taking office, and it was inevitable that they would have differences after a long time, so they naturally had to consolidate the relationship when they had the opportunity.

And according to Shen Zhonglei, Zhao Qu entered Beijing this time, if there is no accident, he should be able to stay in Beijing as an official, and he has a good relationship with Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, and he may be able to help Shen Yunyao contact a good family affair when the time comes.

"Mingyu." Shen Tianshu took out a key tied with a red rope from his arms and handed it to her, "Go to the alley in the warehouse and bring the red sandalwood box inside." ”

After a while, Mingyu entered the house with a long and narrow box in both hands.

Xu Shi looked at it for a while, and even the box containing the paintings was made of rosewood, and the paintings inside were definitely more precious.

Shen Tianshu pulled out the box, took out a scroll from it, and unfolded it with Mingyu to show the Xu family.

"Mother, this is the work of Master Wanquan, a famous painter of the previous dynasty."

When Xu Shi heard the words Master Wanquan, his eyes were red.

This painting is much more expensive than the one that was damaged by Xu Yihao, and now on the market, the small works of Master Wanquan are hard to find, and Shen Tianshu actually made a landscape painting scroll.

"Does Mother think this is okay?"

Shen Tianshu's words interrupted Xu's wandering thoughts.

"Yes, of course!" Xu couldn't care so much, "If Master Wanquan's paintings can't work, then who else can." ”

Shen Tianshu put the scroll back in the box and handed it to Xu: "Then mother, don't take good care of the painting, don't let those hairy subordinates break it." ”

Xu Shi agreed, went out of Shuangtang Courtyard, went straight to the East Cross Courtyard with the painting box, asked someone to hang the painting in the hall, and then looked left and right, and felt that there was no mistake, so he hurriedly sent someone to Hua'an Hall to send a letter to Shen Zhonglei.

Shen Zhonglei was already holding back the fire at this time, but he was just cleaning up a yard, and it was not a house that no one had lived in for many years, so he thought that it would take an hour to support the sky.

Who knew that when he arrived at Hua'an Hall, he couldn't wait for someone from home to deliver the letter.

waited until it was time to have lunch, Gong Lihua cautiously came over and asked if he wanted to prepare lunch for everyone.

Shen Zhonglei only felt that his face was full of fever, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, at this time, the Shen Mansion finally came, and also prepared a carriage to pick up people together.

Shen Zhonglei's complexion softened a little, and said, "The family is procrastinating, which makes Brother Zhao smile." ”

"Shi Xian, what you said is really a brother." Zhao Qu said politely again and again, "Originally, I suddenly disturbed and caused trouble to the family." ”

Most of the luggage of the Zhao family was not removed, and at this time, they were directly sent over, carrying the old lady to the carriage, leaving a few people to pack up the remaining things, and then went straight to the prefect's yamen.

Xu Shi was already waiting at the second gate, greeted people into the East Cross Courtyard with a smile, and said to Mrs. Zhao in a loud voice: "The people are clumsy, and it took a little time to clean up the house, I'm really sorry, the back kitchen has already prepared lunch, and we can start dinner at any time." ”

Shen Zhonglei accompanied Zhao Qu into the hall first, and just as he was about to speak, he was attracted by the landscape painting hanging on the opposite wall, and the whole person stood on the spot, and what he wanted to say had already been left behind.
