Chapter 215: Regaining Faith
After a while, someone went to see the paintings and praised the two landscape paintings, and they really liked them. There was no counteroffer immediately, so the entourage who followed him paid, took the painting and left.
Last night, Aunt Yuling told her, "Yue'er, you don't know. Your uncle has painted paintings for so many years, composing poems and writing couplets, and together they have not been sold for ten taels of silver, which is almost equivalent to giving them away for nothing. ”
"Sometimes, I couldn't sell the paintings at all, but I was afraid that he would be sad, so I had to save some money for him. I lied to him and said that it was the silver taels I earned by selling his paintings. When he heard it, he believed. Fortunately, we met someone who knew the goods, and they admired his paintings, so we bought ......."
"It's not a matter of thirty taels of silver, it's an affirmation of your uncle's talent, and a matter that has regained his confidence. This is a great thing, and he and I are very happy. ”
As she spoke, Yu Ling was so excited that she burst into tears.
Over the years, my uncle took Yu Ling to hide in Tibet, and he couldn't use a fish talisman, so he became a missing person for no reason. In this case, the uncle did not dare to enter the city at all.
Not to mention, my uncle personally came to the city to sell paintings.
This time, Senior General Xue and the others in the past few days asked their uncle and Aunt Yuling to get a new fish talisman each. After that, it was convenient for them to go out.
My uncle went to watch them play polo during the day, and when he came back, he remembered that he had painted a few paintings from the time when he used to live in the cave, and he had brought them with him.
No, while there are still many tourists in the city, I will quickly take it to the city and sell it, so that I can exchange some silver and use it back.
If nothing else, I have to buy a pig and raise it, and then invite the villagers to eat pork during the Chinese New Year.
Yu Ling listened to his uncle's words and immediately expressed his support.
In this way, after my uncle made money selling paintings, he went back to the village with Aunt Yuling and found a villager to buy two pigs, a female 1I pig and two meat pigs.
The female I1 pig was still young, only three months old.
The other two pigs are larger, and one of the pigs was more than eighty pounds when it was bought.
When Lin Yue and Aunt Yuling went to the field to hunt pigweed, Aunt Yuling told her:
"Originally, your uncle and I were thinking of feeding the big pig well, killing it at the beginning of the lunar month, and inviting the people of the village to come and eat meat. No, you and Jing Xiao said that you want to invite Xue Wugongzi and them to dinner today. Your uncle and I are going to feed the pig a little more, and I'll find someone to kill and eat it today......"
"Don't, really don't." Lin Yue was a little reluctant.
This is the pig that my uncle and Aunt Yuling bought with the money they earned with their own hands after they came to her and lived with her.
She couldn't slaughter it so early, she had to wait until her maternal grandparents came over, invited the people of the village to come and entertain them, and then slaughtered the pigs for cooking.
Lin Yue told Yu Lingdao: "......"
"No, you can buy another one later." Yu Ling persuaded.
"Seriously, people like Cousin Lingyun and their family come to eat, and they really don't like to eat big fish and meat. Lang Jun and I went to Grandpa Yun's house for dinner, and we didn't eat much meat......"
Lin Yue said.
Yu Ling only heard Lin Yue say this, and she didn't feel anything wrong.
The two chatted while playing pigweed, and after a while, two bamboo baskets were filled.
Yu Ling looked at the pigweed in these two bamboo baskets, and felt that it was still not enough, and wanted to make more pigweed before going back. But I faintly heard the cry of the cow coming from the river, so I had to tell Lin Yue:
The village drove the ox cart into the city again. Let's go back and feed the pigs. The pigs are fed, washed and the ingredients are prepared. Don't wait for the guests to come in a while, we don't have anything to prepare, we are in a hurry......"
Lin Yue originally wanted to play outside for a while so that she could chat with Aunt Yuling. First, the air here is so fresh, and secondly, she wants to talk to Aunt Yuling about her thoughts.
Last night, after hearing what Aunt Yuling said, she was indeed happy for her uncle. But she thought about some details again this morning, and felt that the person who bought her uncle's painting was probably not an ordinary person.
She even guessed in her heart that the person who bought her uncle's painting was most likely someone who knew her uncle.
As for who that person was, she didn't know for the time being.
On the way back, Lin Yue tried to ask Yu Ling: "The person who bought his uncle's painting is not from Yancheng?" ”
"The official dialect of the Imperial City is also quite elegant, he is quite tall, and he doesn't look like an ordinary Yancheng man." Yu Ling said.
Think about it, it's just a painting seller, why does Yue'er want to ask so carefully? Yu Ling says:
“…… Do you want to say anything to me, if you want to say it, just say it on the way while we haven't gone back yet. Otherwise, when we go back, there are many people in the family, and it will be inconvenient to talk about it. ”
"Don't worry, the guests won't come so early." Lin Yue said softly:
"I don't mean anything else when I ask this. I just thought, if the person who bought my uncle's paintings was from Yancheng, then didn't you often take your uncle's paintings and sell them in Yancheng? He's a local, so he always meets one or two times, right? ”
Hearing Lin Yue say this, a trace of worry faintly flashed in Yu Ling's eyes, and the figure of a woman quickly flashed in her mind, but she told herself in her heart:
No way!
It can't be that cheap I woman.
Two men came in front of him, one was Lu Jingshuo and the other was Lu Juncheng.
They walked up to the women they liked and reached out to take the bamboo baskets in their hands.
Lu Jingshuo carried the bamboo basket, feeling that it was not light, so he said to Lin Yue:
"You're pretty good, my uncle and I just sat in the private room and chatted, just for a while, you and Aunt Yuling played so much pigweed......
Lin Yue bent his eyes and smiled, and said:
"I also chatted with Aunt Yuling, but while we were chatting, I also finished the pigweed by the way. That's awesome enough, right? ”
Lu Jingshuo nodded again and again, "Awesome, awesome." Ah Yue and Aunt Yuling are very powerful. ”
The two of them were chatting happily, but they found that the uncle and Aunt Yuling, who were walking in front of them, didn't say a word on the way back.
That's not normal.
Lin Yue looked at his uncle's back, and gave Lu Jingshuo a look beside him. Didn't the two people who walked in front love each other? Why are you so silent on the way back?
Lu Jingshuo looked in the direction where the house was located, and replied to Lin Yue with his eyes: When I go back, I'll tell you what the reason is.
A moment later.
Lin Yue and Lu Jingshuo returned to the house, and after washing their hands, they went to the vegetable garden together to prepare greens, spinach, leeks and so on.
After washing the dishes first, they put them away, and when the guests arrived, they went into the kitchen to cook.
When collecting vegetables in the vegetable garden, Lu Jingshuo whispered to Lin Yue: "...... I saw a new pigsty at the back of the house, two simple wooden pigsties. I know that those people are lazy and can't raise pigs. I asked my brother, who helped? ”
The people Ah Jing said were referring to a few of his retinues here. She understands this. So he asked:
"My brother will definitely tell you that my uncle came back to feed a few pigs after selling his paintings......"
Lu Jingshuo nodded slightly and said, "Yes, my brother did say so." ”
