Master Hua San brought a painting, which he bought through gritted teeth a while ago, and it was a picture of the ink of the Qin Jia and Qin families of this dynasty.

Qin Jia is good at landscapes, and most of the surviving paintings are landscapes, and this ink lotus picture brought by Hua Yukun is really rare.

Zhang Shan saw that it was Mohetu, and he knew it in his heart. Hua Yukun was not sure of the authenticity of this painting, so he came to ask for his own palm.

He immediately became interested, Qin Jia has a sparse temperament, and he acts very casually, what he sees and paints, and the level is also uneven, but later generations only know that he is good at painting landscapes, and when he sees a picture of ink lotus, he doubts the authenticity of it.

In fact, Hua Jingyao asked her father to bring Miao Hong to quarrel, but she underestimated her father, and if she wanted to arouse Zhang Shanchang's interest, she didn't necessarily have to quarrel.

Here, Hua Yukun and Zhang Shanchang were appreciating famous paintings, drinking tea, and chatting fascinated. For young people like Miao Hong, who love painting, being able to witness and listen to such a famous appreciation with their own eyes is even more exciting than seeing the emperor. But today, Miao Hong couldn't get excited, and he couldn't even listen to what Hua Yukun and Zhang Shanchang said.

At this time, a little servant walked in and whispered a few words to the old servant standing next to him, and the old servant's face changed slightly, lowered his head, and quietly retreated.

Miao Hong's heart sank, looked at Zhang Shanchang, who was facing away from him, and quietly walked out.

Walking to the door, Miao Hong saw Huangshan standing under the corridor.

Huangshan is Zhang Shanchang's long-term follower, and he follows Zhang Shanchang in and out on weekdays, and all the students in Fengyang Academy know him, but Huangshan doesn't know these students.

Miao Hong was a little embarrassed and asked shyly, "Where is the toilet?" ”

Huang Shan knew that the young man who came with Master Hua San was a student of the academy, so his expression became casual, but he was still very polite, he pointed in one direction and said, "It's over there, do you want me to take you over?" ”

Miao Hong was even more embarrassed, when she was in the academy, Huangshan was the shadow of Zhang Shanchang, and when the students saw Huangshan from afar, they even walked in a regular manner.

"No need, thank you, I'll just go myself." Miao Hong took a few steps, stopped again, and turned to thank Shi Li.

What a reckless young man.

Huang Shan went in and out of the academy all day long, and he was used to seeing such young people, so he didn't care, and stood under the porch again, and casually placed the two pots of flowers at the door on the windowsill.

When he turned around again, Miao Hong's figure was already gone.

It's really not easy to run so fast, it's in a hurry, and it's not easy to follow the elders out to meet guests.

The corners of Huang Shan's mouth hooked, he was not surprised, but he still didn't care.

The courtyard of the Zhang family is two large of the Hua family, and there is a small garden in the courtyard.

When Miao Hong entered the door, he noticed that there were very few people in the Zhang family, and he only saw two old servants, a small servant, and one was Huangshan.

One of the two old servants was tending to the flowers and trees in the garden, and when Miao Hong ran past him, because of his weak heart, he whispered to the old servant, "I'll go to the latrine." ”

The old servant took the flower shovel, was stunned for a moment, pointed to his ears and then to his mouth, lowered his head and continued to work.

Miao Hong was also stunned, and then understood that this old servant was deaf and dumb.

He ran swiftly past the old servant until he reached the Hanging Flower Gate.

There must be something wrong outside, the little guy who just entered the door was the one who answered the door before, he called another old servant out, and he ran out all the way, but he didn't see them, did they go to the next yard?

Miao Hong's heart was pounding, he knew that Miss Hua had gone to rob someone, but he didn't know how to arrange it.

He was only one step behind the old servant and the servant, and when he reached the gate, the two had just stepped over the threshold with their legs raised.

"Wait, the mountain chief has something, let you hurry over!" Miao Hong said.

The old servant turned around, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "The mountain chief has an order, why did you let you say it?" ”

Miao Hong hurriedly said: "Huangshan has gone to the toilet, the mountain chief is very anxious, and he can't wait for him." ”

This lie cannot be scrutinized, and it will be broken with a push, but Miao Hong can't care about it, he just needs to stop them for a moment.

The old servant craned his neck and looked out of the door, and said to the little servant, "You go and listen to the movement again, and I'll go back and see." ”

With that, the old servant re-entered the door and strode into the courtyard.

Miao Hong hurriedly followed behind, his heart beat faster, as long as the old servant went back, his lies would be revealed, and in the face of Zhang Shanchang's questioning, I am afraid that he would have to quarrel according to what Miss Hua said, and argue with reason.

Seeing that the old servant was gone, the little servant walked alone to the door of the courtyard next door, and listened carefully to the movement inside.

Just now, he heard movement in the courtyard next door, so he went in to say goodbye. The master had a guest, so he had to tell Uncle Liu.

The lock on the door was fine and had not been opened, but just now, he did hear a voice from the courtyard.

The little guy simply stuck to the crack of the door, but this time he didn't hear anything.

Could it be that I misheard? Didn't that voice come from next door?

Impossible, how could you hear it wrong?

The Zhang family's house is also separated from the next house by a courtyard, and there will be no other people's voices except next door.

The little guy continued to listen, and suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and covered his mouth, and then, before he could react, he saw a man and a woman flash out from behind him.

The man covered his mouth with one hand, and pressed the other hand on his shoulder, and the man's hand was so strong that the little man couldn't move.

The woman, on the other hand, took off a very thin hairpin from her head and inserted it into the keyhole.

The lock snapped open, and the woman pushed it open.

The little guy's eyes widened in surprise, he saw a few people coming out of the yard, yes, a few people, one of them was carrying a pocket, the shape of the bag, it was clearly a person inside!

He heard it right, there was indeed movement in the courtyard next door just now, it was these few people, they went in and took it away, took it away, took it away......

What's even more terrifying is that these people didn't climb over the wall to enter, but opened the lock and walked in.

Yes, there are people coming and going here, and picking locks is far less noticeable than climbing over the wall, not to mention that this woman is not picking locks, she is unlocking!

The little guy wanted to shout, but he couldn't, his mouth was covered, he struggled a few times, and the hand that grabbed his shoulder added a little more strength, and he felt like his bones were going to be crushed.

Why is there no one, there are often people in the alley, just now, Master Chen's sedan chair walked past here. Why is it gone?
