Chapter 283: Temptation
It is certain that the authentic work is in the Jing'an Palace, but whose hands is the real work?
This painting was stolen by the second wife from the treasury of the princess's Tianxiang Temple.
Counting the days, someone found someone to copy the painting after her, and what she didn't do, someone else did.
Thinking of this, the second wife gritted her teeth angrily.
The most business is still Lord Zhu, who happily went to Yongwang's Mansion to send paintings, and in the end, the disaster became bigger and bigger, not to mention pleasing others, Yongwang couldn't wait to peel his skin.
Mrs. Zhu said anxiously, "I offended Lord Yong, what can I do this time?" ”
Master Zhu sat down and hung his head.
Mrs. Zhu looked at the second wife.
The second wife can't say the nest in her heart, it is difficult to steal the painting, and now I don't know where the painting is!
Depressed, the second wife said, "I'll go back to Jing'an Palace, I'll definitely get the painting." ”
The meat in her mouth, see who dares to care!
Out of the Zhu family, sitting in the soft sedan chair, the second wife was thinking about who in the Jing'an palace except for her had such a bear-hearted leopard and dared to steal the dowry prepared by the princess for the lord of Qinglan.
The princess and princess will definitely not.
Jiang Juan and Qi Moyuan shouldn't either.
Qi Moyuan will inherit the entire Jing'an Mansion in the future, and he will not take that painting in his eyes, not to mention that the county lord of Qinglan is his own sister.
As a brother, he is worried about his sister's future marriage, and if it is spread out, the face of Jing'an Wangfu will be lost by him.
As for Jiang Juan-
Although the second wife doesn't like her very much, she has to admit that with Jiang Juan's net worth, she won't do such a thing, because she is not short of money.
Not to mention how much the Hejian Mansion doted on her and gave her a rich dowry, it was that she married into the Jing'an Palace, which made up for the haste of her marriage, and opened ten thousand scrolls......
A study that can earn 20,000 taels on the day of opening, is it still worried that there is no money to spend, stealing other people's dowry calligraphy and paintings?
Even if she had the guts to steal, no one would help her.
The second wife thought of the third wife......
The three masters and three wives definitely have this heart, but they shouldn't have the guts.
The rest ...... There was only the old lady.
The second wife's eyebrows can't be loosened, although the old lady is biased towards their second room, but she will not surrender her identity to steal her granddaughter's dowry, not to mention that the old lady is not a person who loves calligraphy and painting, she wants to like calligraphy and painting, those calligraphy and paintings in the public, she takes a few pieces, who dares to say what can't be done?
On the way back to Jing'an Palace, the second wife's head was about to blow up, and she didn't figure out who stole the beams and changed the pillars.
If it weren't for the fact that someone had asked someone to copy the painting after it was carried into the Jing'an Palace, she would have suspected that it was a ghost who made trouble.
The soft sedan chair stopped in front of the palace, and the maid saw that the second wife did not come out, and reminded, "Mrs., it's time to the palace." ”
The second wife had a headache.
She only hoped that the painting would come to her on its own feet.
But she also knew that this was a fool's dream, and all she could do was test one by one.
Coming out of the soft sedan car, the second wife went to Songling Hall first.
The old lady is eating lotus seed soup, and her heart has been on fire recently, so she eats some lotus seeds to reduce her anger.
Putting down the porridge bowl, the old lady wiped the corners of her mouth, glanced at the second wife, and said, "Back to the door again?" ”
The second lady nodded her head, sat down in the seat next to the old lady and said, "My eldest brother wants to go up a liter, and I want to help beg the prince to ......." ”
The old lady didn't move her eyelids, picked up the Buddha beads from the small table and gently played with them.
The second wife changed her words and said, "I know that the prince doesn't like these things, and rejected the eldest brother, but my eldest brother begged to come to the Yong Wangye, and the Yong Wangye wanted a painting, and the painting happened to be in the hands of the princess, and she planned to make Qinglan a dowry ......." ”
The old lady fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand twice and said, "The prince doesn't have to open his mouth there, the princess ...... there." ”
Thinking of the lord of Qinglan, the old lady felt that the princess would not help with this.
Since the prince of Yuguo and the lord of Qinglan retreated, the princess and the second wife have hardly said a few words.
But under the same roof, the princess has always been easy to talk to, and the old lady said, "You take two ancient paintings to exchange with her, and say good things, the princess may not agree." ”
The second lady has been staring at the old lady, and being able to say this is enough to prove the old lady's innocence.
After all, as soon as the princess looked for the painting, she might find that the big box of paintings had been stolen and replaced.
The second lady nodded and got up to leave.
Not long after coming out of Songling Hall, I saw the third lady coming over with her daughter Qi Fu'er from a distance.
After a few pleasantries, the second wife began to test the third wife.
The third lady smiled, "Sister-in-law has always been easy to talk to, if you want to exchange a painting or two with her, how can your sister-in-law not agree?" ”
The second lady didn't say anything, sighed and left.
Watching the second wife walk away, Qi Fu'er said strangely, "Mother, didn't you say that the paintings of the eldest sister had been ...... a long time ago. ”
The third lady shook her head at Qi Fu'er, not allowing her to talk nonsense, this is not the West Courtyard.
Qi Fu'er couldn't hold back a little, "Why does the second aunt still have to change paintings with the eldest aunt?" ”
The third lady shook her head, "I don't know what kind of medicine your second aunt sells in her gourd." ”
The painting has long been exchanged by her in the bag, and now she has to exchange the painting with the princess, does she want to exchange the original work for a fake?
The third wife, mother and daughter, talked and laughed and walked away.
They didn't notice that behind the rockery on the side, there was a blue shadow, and after they left, they hurried to Bai Jingxuan.
In the house, Jiang Juan was crooked on the couch and nibbling on the fruit, while reading the drawings.
The drawings of the academy have been drawn, she has drawn a rough sketch, Qi Moyuan has revised a few places, and now the money is in place, and she can start work on a later date.
Jin Er walked in and said, "The little maid who just cleaned the garden told me something...... ”
Jin Er told Jiang Juan what the little maid told her.
The second wife wants to change the painting, Jiang Juan is not surprised.
What surprised her was that the second wife replaced the wedding painting prepared by the princess for the lord of Qinglan, and the third wife actually knew about it.
The dark guard found out that this was a mistake, and it was a coincidence.
But how did the third wife know?
Such a shameful thing as stealing a painting must be cautious and cautious, right?
And the third wife has been annoyed that the second wife has robbed her of the right to manage the garden, holding such a big handle as the third wife in her hand, but she didn't say a word?
Quietly stabbed this matter to the princess to know, not only can you sell the princess a big favor, but also make things bigger, and give the second wife a painful blow.
Not to mention anything else, the princess will definitely take the opportunity to take it back, she is pregnant again, isn't it logical for the second wife to take over?
It's really strange that the third wife didn't say anything about killing three birds with one stone.
Jiang Juan put down the fruit and wiped her hands with an embroidered handkerchief, Jin Er saw her get off the couch and said, "Where is the girl going?" ”
"Go to the princess," Jiang Juan said casually.
Dropping this sentence, Jiang Juan raised his feet and left.
Kim hurried to catch up.
When I entered the Tianxiang Temple, I just stepped up the steps when I saw a maid coming over with a pair of porcelain vases.
The moment he saw the porcelain vase, Jiang Wan frowned fiercely.
She seemed to understand a little bit why the third lady didn't say it.
