The man in Tsing Yi probably sensed the strangeness of the shopkeeper Tong and turned around.

Yu Tang saw an extremely handsome and domineering face.

She choked for breath.

But she was soon stabbed by the indifference in the eyes of the man in green clothes when he looked at her.

Yu Tang's face was hot, and he couldn't help but explain: "I'm not here to be a fake painting, it's my father who bought a painting from a friend......"

The man in Tsing Yi didn't believe it at all, regarded her as if she was nothing, raised his well-defined chin slightly, nodded towards the shopkeeper Tong, and passed by Yu Tang.

How so?!

Yu Tang screamed in his heart, was stunned for a long time, and involuntarily followed, and said angrily: "I'm really not here to touch porcelain......

The man in Tsing Yi glanced back at her.

The black eyes are clear and cool, like a deep pool in autumn, and the cold is to the bones.

Yu Tang's heart sank.

No amount of justification was choked in the throat.

She froze where she was.

The shopkeeper of Tong hurriedly chased after him and diligently sent the man in Tsing Yi out.

Yu Tang only found out at this time that a green carriage had stopped outside the door.

The shopkeeper Tong personally took the footstool and wanted to serve the man in green clothes to get into the carriage, but a thin man wearing a dark short brown next to the carriage took the first step to lift the curtain. The shopkeeper Tong was not annoyed, bent down and took a few steps back, and looked at the carriage "deservedly" driving away, then he stood up straight and turned back to the pawnshop, and said with a smile: "Little lady, why did you fold back?" But what's the matter? ”

Yu Tang couldn't help but smile at the shopkeeper Tong and said, "Who was that son just now?" ”

The shopkeeper Tong smiled kindly, and did not answer her question directly, but bent down and stretched out his hand to signal her to speak inside, and asked her with a smile: "What does the little lady say in our house?" ”

Yu Tang came back to his senses.

Although she has never seen a better person than the man in Tsing Yi, she is a little girl, and she actually chased others and asked him who he was...... Fortunately, the shopkeeper Tong was kind and didn't sarcastically say a few words to her, otherwise she would have to go to the cracks.

Yu Tang was stunned, hurriedly handed the painting to the shopkeeper Tong, sincerely asked, and said: "The shopkeeper, you said that this painting is fake, but what evidence is there?" ”

The shopkeeper Tong was stunned.

Xiao Tong's shopkeeper probably thought that she was looking for trouble, so she hurriedly took a few steps forward and stopped the shopkeeper Tong behind her, and said: "Little lady, our pawnshop is a century-old brand in Lin'an Mansion, as soon as you open your mouth, you will point out our surname Tong, and you must have inquired." If you don't believe it, you can double-check the painting, how you got it in, how we gave it back to you. Although "Pine Creek Fishing Hidden Picture" is a famous painting, we pawnshop is not without seeing good things, and we can't do it for the sake of your painting to ruin its reputation. ”

Yu Tang's face turned red with shame, and he hurriedly said, "No, no." I'm not suspicious of you stealing dragons and phoenixes. It's this painting, and someone else sold it to our family, and I just want to know what's wrong with this painting, and I'll go to that person when the time comes! ”

The big and small shopkeepers were relieved.

Xiao Tong's shopkeeper said quickly: "You shouldn't be greedy for cheap - how many years has our Pei family's pawnshop been open, and he has never forced others to live or die, if he is really short of silver, why don't you bring it to us as a ......"

"Did you talk to a guest like that?" The shopkeeper Tong scolded the shopkeeper of Xiao Tong, interrupted the words of the shopkeeper of Xiao Tong, thought for a while, and said: "It is not entirely correct to say that this painting is fake." ”

Yu Tang perked up and said, "What do you say?" ”

Tong Da shopkeeper said: "The little lady may not know that most of the ancient paintings that can be handed down are painted on rice paper. This rice paper has two characteristics, one is excellent ink absorption, that is, it can penetrate the back of the paper. Another feature is that it is made from several layers of pulp repeatedly dried. The master who has come to the house can usually peel off the rice paper layer by layer. Why do you say that your ancient painting is a fake and not a fake? We have just shown it to the gentleman in the shop who specializes in appreciating ancient paintings, and this painting of yours was indeed made by Li Tang. But the top layer has been removed, and yours is the bottom layer, so you see—"

As he spoke, he opened the scroll and pointed it to Yu Tang: "Here, here, it was obviously added later, and it was a little less ethereal...... wind." ”

Isn't it because of the seal?

Yu Tang was a little dazed.

The shopkeeper Tong looked at Yu Tang's immature face, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, and said sympathetically: "If the little lady wants to be this painting with money in her hands, it's not impossible." It's just not a few pieces of silver. ”

When Yu Tang heard this, he pointed to the seal on the painting covered with "Merlin" and said, "Is there no problem with this seal?" ”

The shopkeeper Tong listened and looked at her deeply.

Yu Tang shouted bad in his heart.

She asked, obviously to cover it up—since she suspected that there was something wrong with the seal, and knew that the painting was inappropriate, she would take it to the pawnshop as a pawnshop......

Yu Tang looked at the face of the shopkeeper Tong again, and sure enough, the spring breeze and atmosphere just now were gone.

She said hurriedly, "No." I think since this painting is in the collection of Lord Zuo, there should be no mistake......"

It's just that the shopkeeper Tong didn't believe her anymore, and his face showed the politeness and detachment unique to businessmen, and he said with a smile: "The little lady is right, this painting did fall into the hands of Lord Zuo in the end, but this painting of the little lady is indeed a fake, and we can't accept it in the pawnshop." If the little lady has anything good, just come and patronize us again. ”

Xiao Tong's shopkeeper simply sent the guests off in person.

Yu Tang was so angry that he was dizzy, and he didn't know how he walked back. After going back, I drank two cups of large-leaf coarse tea in a row, and then I was relieved.

Good for you, Luxin!

I want to run away after taking their family's money, how can there be such a good thing?!

Yu Tang called Ah Tao over, gave him more than a dozen copper plates, and instructed him: "You go and inquire about Lu Xiucai's whereabouts, don't let my father know." ”

Ah Tao often bought snacks for Yu Tang behind Yu Wen's and Chen's back, smiled disapprovingly, and went out to inquire about Lu Xin.

In the afternoon, he came to report to Yu Tang worriedly: "Did Master Lu commit something?" He pawned the house to others, saying that he was going to the capital to join his relatives. But even if there are relatives in the capital, can they live in their relatives' homes for a lifetime? ”

In his previous life, Lu Xin never returned to Lin'an Mansion.

Yu Tang sneered and said, "Then is he gone?" ”

"Everyone thought he was gone," Ah Tao said smartly, "but I inquired clearly, he has a good friend in Hua'er Lane, and he has been staying in Hua'er Lane for the past few days, I'm afraid I can't bear to be that good." ”

Yu Tang's mind spun quickly for a long time, sighed, bowed to the west, beckoned Ah Tao over, and told him in his ear for a long time.

Hua'er Lane is on the back of Changxing Street, a zigzag alley, the east leads to Changxing Street, the west leads to Fuya Street, both sides are planted with thick camphor trees, at night the red light is high, the warbler swallows, the voice of the people is boiling.

Because of the water on Changxing Street, the shops were burned down, and the ruins and broken walls were not good-looking, so some people used a rain cloth to cover the crossing leading to Changxing Street, leaving only the road to Fuya Street.

At night, when Hua'er Lane was at its most lively, a carriage stopped in front of Aunt Chu's yard, and seven or eight women with big shoulders and round waists rushed into the yard with mallets in their hands.

Everyone is a veteran in Fengyue Alley, and when they saw this frame, they knew that there was a main house to make trouble, so they excitedly surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, and looked at the jokes with a gossip.

There was a bang in the courtyard of Aunt Chu, and a tall woman walked out of the yard with Lu Xin's collar, and said loudly as she walked: "You drink flower wine when you go to the yard, why did you pawn the family house for the sake of the sister in the yard?" Where do you let us stay in the future? What to eat? What to drink? ”

Lin'an City said that it is not big, and it is not small to say that it is not small, not to mention that Lu Xin is a person who likes to do a lot of things, and he has to make a foot wherever there is something, and there are many people who know him. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but laugh.

Someone said: "No wonder Lu Xiucai runs to the yard every day, it turns out that the women in his family are five big and three thick, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to stay." ”

Some people are also strange: "Didn't you say that Lu Xiucai's wife didn't remarry after she died, and she had no children and no daughters?" Where did this woman come from? ”

Some people speculated: "Maybe it's also good, but one is in the yard and the other is outside." ”

Lu Xin was so angry that his mouth was crooked, the woman who didn't know where he came from, made trouble in front of him, wanted to defend a few words, but the collar strangled his neck, and he couldn't say a word, so he was dragged to the carriage by the woman, stuffed a bunch of rags in her mouth, and drove out of Hua'er Lane.

He was afraid that he would be discussed by the people of Lin'an Mansion for a lifetime.

Lu Xin cracked his teeth and chewed his teeth.

If he knew who was plotting against him, he would never let him have a good time!

The carriage stopped at the intersection of Changxing Street.

Lu Xin was dragged out of the carriage.

The moonlight shone on the broken beams and broken tiles of Changxing Street, the shadows were desolate, and the blowing and laughing and singing from the flower alley next door from time to time were a little grotesque, making his scalp numb and his legs trembling.

"You, what are you doing here?" Lu Xin shuddered.

Yu Tang wrapped his head and walked out of the shadow of the broken wall.

Lu Xin recognized her at a moment.

He jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail and accused, "Why you? What do you want? I'm going to find your dad to judge the judges! ”

Yu Tang said with a smile: "Why are you looking for my father to comment!" I'll go with you to the yamen to evaluate the reasoning! ”

Lu Xin was stunned.

Yu Tang threw the painting at Lu Xin's feet: "Didn't you say that this is Li Tang's "Hidden Picture of Fishing in Songxi" by Li Tang of the previous dynasty? The shopkeeper of the Pei family pawnshop happened to be related to my family, and I took it to the shopkeeper Tong, and the shopkeeper Tong can say that this is a fake, worth three or five taels of silver at most. Either I'll go to the yamen with you, or you will return the money you cheated on my father!" ”

Lu Xin jumped to his feet: "You are a little girl, pulling the tiger skin to make a big flag, and you still want to use the Pei family to press me?!" I don't know what kind of family you are? If you say it's a fake, it's a fake. I also said that you stole the beams and changed the pillars, took my paintings and didn't want to give the silver, and framed me for selling fake paintings to your family. ”

The woman strained herself and pressed Lu Xin to the ground again.

Yu Tang said disdainfully: "I also know that you won't admit it, and I don't expect you to admit it." As soon as dawn we went to the Yamen, and I had already asked the shopkeeper Tong to testify. It can't be fake, it can't be fake. When the time comes, you will wait to be ruined and eat a lawsuit! ”
