Gu Qinghan's face was frosty, Qi Ning was sitting on the side, and it was not easy to speak, and after a while, he saw a figure outside the door dodging and dodging, and glanced at it, and saw that Gu Wenwen was probing his brain and looking in, and he was amused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Not coming in yet." Gu Qinghan had naturally found out, and said angrily: "Do you want to never see each other again from now on?" ”

Gu Wenwen came in with a smiling face and said, "Sister, this time it's not good for my brother, don't be angry." Little Marquis, you have returned to Beijing, how about this trip to Xichuan? Is it not to lead troops to fight, not majestic? He didn't dare to look at Gu Qinghan, but said to Qi Ning with a smile: "I really regret it now, if I go to Xichuan with you this time, there will be nothing to do." ”

Qi Ning only knew that Gu Wenwen owed tens of thousands of taels of silver outside, and it was not clear what had happened, so he got up and arched his hand: "Uncle, how is he doing this time?" ”

"Not good." Gu Wenwen said with a bitter face: "My business, you..... Do you already know? Little Hou Ye, since you are back, this is great, you must make the decision for me, this time I was miserably pitted. ”

"Shut up." Gu Qinghan didn't give face at all, and reprimanded: "It's because you are not greedy enough and drill into it yourself, who is to blame?" When your father was alive, he said that you were always high-minded and never down-to-earth, even if you didn't plant it in this matter this time, sooner or later you would cause other trouble. Glancing at Qi Ning, he said: "I brought him here, not to support you, you can clean up later, and go directly with him to the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture and live in prison." ”

Gu Wenwen hurriedly said: "Sister, you just watched your eldest brother being imprisoned?" You're still not my sister, why are you so ruthless? ”

Gu Qinghan's willow eyebrows raised and reprimanded, "What did you say?" Am I ruthless, or are you ruthless? You know that your mother is old, and after your father passed away, your mother's body has become weaker and weaker in the past two years. If you go to the capital and you do things in a down-to-earth manner, it's nothing, but ..... But what did you do? You're going to be angry. Speaking of which, the circles under my eyes were red again.

Qi Ning had never seen Gu Qinghan so annoyed, lest Gu Qinghan hurt his body, and said softly: "Sanniang, don't worry, don't make trouble if you have nothing to do, but if something happens, don't be afraid, try your best to find a way to solve it." ”

"Yes, yes, what the little marquis said is true." Gu Wenwen put half of his butt on a chair, as if he had met a big savior, "Sister, the eldest brother did something wrong, and you scolded and scolded, but we still have to think of a solution." You and I only have two brothers and sisters, if I really have three long and two short, who will take care of my mother? ”

Gu Qinghan bit his red lip, glared at him hatefully, and didn't speak.

Qi Ning said: "Sanniang, why don't you go and see the old lady first, and I'll talk to my uncle here." ”

Gu Qinghan was annoyed and worried about Gu Wenwen at this time, and he was even more worried about Mrs. Gu, so she didn't speak, got up, and went straight to see Mrs. Gu.

After Gu Qinghan left, Gu Wenwen took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, picked up the cold tea in his hand, and poured it down, then he smiled bitterly and said: "Little Hou Ye, if you don't come today, my sister doesn't know how to clean me up." ”

"Uncle, what happened, I heard that you owe tens of thousands of taels of silver?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "It's a loss in business, I heard that it's related to a painting?" ”

Gu Wenwen didn't speak first, tiptoed to the door, looked out, and saw that Gu Qinghan's soft and colorful figure had gone far away, so he came back and sat down beside Qi Ning, and said with a depressed face: "Little Hou Ye, this is a trap, someone is damn trying to plot against me." ”

"Plotting against you?"

Gu said: "The little marquis knows that I came to the capital to glorify my ancestors, my father has stayed in Jiangling all his life, although he also has some industries, but he is timid and cautious, and he does not dare to make the business bigger." Think about it, how big is Gangneung, how can it compare to the prosperity of the capital? ”

Qi Ning just smiled lightly and didn't speak.

"I'm in the capital and have three shops." Gu said: "One of them is a pawnshop, and I heard that opening a pawnshop can earn a lot of money, so I also set up one." If you want to do big things, you have to use people, so I hired an old shopkeeper, this person has excellent eyesight, and knows everything about the pawnshop. ”

Qi Ning thought that this Gu article was really clueless, the first two sentences were still praising others, and the latter sentence scolded others for being dog offal, and asked: "Does this matter have anything to do with the shopkeeper Jiang?" ”

"It's a big deal." Gu Wenwen said angrily: "After I arrived in the capital, I inevitably made some friends, these friends are also arrogant to me on weekdays, we often get together, one of them is named Qiao Yu, very talented, and very good at antique calligraphy and painting, I opened a pawnshop, and he has gotten a lot closer to him on weekdays." ”

"Qiao Yu?" Qi Ning asked, "Who is he?" ”

"He is a son of an official family, and I heard that his father was a petty official in the household department." Gu said: "I have been to his house, he has a separate mansion, and he has a woman in it, and the house is full of antique calligraphy and paintings, and he also told me the origin of those antique calligraphy and paintings, and there are several valuable things, so ......!" "There was something unnatural about him.

Qi Ning sighed: "So my uncle thinks that antique calligraphy and painting are the easiest to make money?" ”

"I ..... That's what I thought. Gu Wenwen said with a wry smile: "Qiao Yu also said that those antique calligraphy and paintings, except for some of them that he collects by himself, many of them are sold at a large price." I asked him who he sold to, and he told me that every year, officials from other places come to Beijing to meet the important ministers of the court, and many officials will first go to him to buy some antique calligraphy and paintings, first, to prepare a generous gift to honor those officials, and second, if he can buy antique calligraphy and paintings from him, his father can help match the bridge and have a way to meet those dignitaries. ”

Qi Ning frowned, and did not speak, Gu Wen continued: "I asked him how much silver antique calligraphy and paintings are worth, Qiao Yu told me a lot, and told me that some antique calligraphy and paintings seem to be very valuable, but if you really want to sell, you can't buy much silver, only those really big deals, can be worth a lot of money, he saw that I have a pawnshop, and told me that I should accept those antique calligraphy and paintings, if you can really receive them, you can resell them to him, and he will definitely pay a lot of money to buy them." ”

"What happened?"

Gu Wenwen said: "After the pawnshop opened, there were not many people at first, but I was lucky, I did receive a few good things, all of them were dead, I took them to Qiao Yu to see, Qiao Yu said that I was lucky, and I really accepted them, and in less than a month, the pawnshop only turned hands from the middle, earning five or six thousand taels of silver." ”

Qi Ning knew that five or six thousand taels of silver was by no means a small amount, so he felt that there was something strange in it, and Gu Wen continued: "At dusk that day, I was walking around the pawnshop, and when it was about to close, a guest came to the door and brought two scrolls of calligraphy and paintings. ”

Qi Ning knew that this should happen from this, so he listened carefully, and only listened to Gu Wen: "That person looks ordinary, I thought there would be nothing good, but the shopkeeper Jiang was also present at that time, and the man asked us if we had enough silver." He clenched his fists and sneered: "I heard that he was very angry, and I felt a little unhappy in my heart, so I said that as long as it is a good thing, even if it is ten thousand taels of gold." ”

Qi Ning knew that Gu's article was a big boast.

The Gu family is a big family in Jiangling, this is naturally true, if all the properties of the Gu family are added together, worth 10,000 taels of gold, Qi Ning does not doubt it, but although the stock price enters Beijing, but the real estate and real estate far away in Jiangling can not be all brought over, the silver on hand, because in the capital to buy a village and storefront, it is naturally expensive, if there is a turnover of tens of thousands of taels of silver on hand, it may not be false, but if you want to easily take out 10,000 taels of gold, it is naturally a bluff.

"When the man heard me say this, he handed out one of the scrolls, and I heard his voice speak loudly, and I wanted to see what it was." Gu Wenwen smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't been there that day, maybe I wouldn't have this, I was taken aback when I saw the painting, Little Hou Ye, do you know whose painting it is?" ”

Qi Ning thought to himself where I knew, but said: "It can surprise my uncle, of course it is not an ordinary painting." ”

"That's Han Shengzi's painting." Gu said: "Han Shengzi, you should have heard of it, right?" It was a generation of painting saints more than 200 years ago, speaking of paintings, no one does not know Han Shengzi, his painting skills are extraordinary, it is said that he can sell a painting for tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

This world is completely different from the history that Qi Ning knows, so he naturally doesn't know where Han Shengzi is, but when he heard Gu Wenwen say this, he knew that this Han Shengzi must be an amazing character, but a painting can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, which still surprised Qi Ning.

"Although Han Shengzi's painting skills are superb, legend has it that he does not take it lightly, and sometimes he does not paint a painting for several years, and there are even fewer paintings that have been passed down to the world." Gu said: "There are no more than ten paintings that have been handed down in the world, and the most famous of them is the picture of the goddess. ”

"Goddess?"

"Not bad." Gu Wenwen nodded and said: "I usually hear them talk about it, there are two pictures of the goddess, one is the picture of the goddess towards the dew, which is the painting of the goddess flying into the sky in the morning, and the other is the picture of the goddess returning to the sky at dusk, which is the picture of the goddess returning to the fairy peak at dusk." These two pictures are said to have been painted by the emperor at that time by order for Han Shengzi, who spent five years of hard work for these two pictures. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that Han Shengzi could pay tens of thousands of taels of silver with a painting in his hand, and if it took five years to paint a painting, it would only be a priceless treasure.

"According to legend, the emperor dreamed for several days in a row, and he dreamed of the goddess, and he wanted to draw the picture in the dream, and only Han Shengzi had this ability at that time." Gu said: "The emperor sent people to look for two years before finding Han Shengzi, and it took another five years to complete the work, and after completion, it is said that the painting is exactly the same as the emperor's dream, so the two paintings have become court treasures." ”

Qi Ning frowned and said, "The one who was delivered to the pawnshop that day was Han Shengzi's goddess picture?" ”

"Not bad." Gu Wen said: "The painting that came out of that person is the picture of the goddess Chaolu. ”
