Also unable to sleep is the mother of the kid who stole things.

Hearing the movement of the Yu family, the boy's mother quickly packed up and went out, and saw Mrs. Chen sweeping the yard, she didn't say a word, found a broom and began to clean, Mrs. Chen stopped, she held the broom and begged bitterly: "You just let me help your family do something, otherwise I will have the face to see Mrs. Yu." ”

Mrs. Chen couldn't resist her, so she simply handed over the matter of cleaning the yard to her and went to the kitchen by herself.

The boy's mother was overjoyed and meticulously swept the yard.

Yu Tang stood by the window, listened to the sound of sweeping the floor, thought about it, and knocked on Ah Tao's door.

Ah Tao yawned and opened the door, and saw that it was Yu Tang, a spirit, who came to his senses and said busily: "Miss, what's the matter?" ”

Yu Tang said: "You call the thief out." ”

Ah Tao went and called someone.

Maybe he didn't sleep well, the kid was in good spirits, and his eyes were as red as peach pits.

Yu Tang pointed to the woman who was sweeping the floor and said, "Look, you have done a good thing, but you want your mother to help you pay it back." She helped my family sweep the yard before dawn today. ”

The boy's eyes immediately moistened.

Yu Tang said: "My lobby brother has already gone to call me Daddy, if you have anything to say, tell me as soon as possible, otherwise when my Daddy finds out, you will not be able to eat and leave." ”

"I've said everything I know." The kid sobbed with tears in his eyes, "I really won't dare to do it again." ”

Yu Tang saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he told Ah Tao to take care of people and went to Chen's place.

Chen didn't sleep well either, and was rubbing his head.

Yu Tang shouted "Mom", went over to help his mother massage her sideburns, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Brother has already gone to find Daddy, and no one will easily steal things in the future." ”

"I hope so!" Chan sighed.

Yu Tang thought for a while and said, "Thanks to the help of the neighbors yesterday, do you want to make some pastries and send them to each family, thank you." ”

"Should, should." Chen's spirit perked up when he heard this, and he boasted, "Our family Ah Tang has become a big girl, and this person has a lot of love in his heart." ”

It's very gratifying.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.

Chen has something to do, and he doesn't always think about last night's events anymore.

After breakfast, she and Mrs. Chen made a pot of white sugar cakes, took out the tea leaves at home and carefully divided them into several portions, and brought Yu Tang to thank them one by one. When the things were delivered, it was time for lunch.

Yu Wen rushed back and rode the mule of Master Wu's house.

Chen Shiqi said: "What about Ah Yuan? ”

Yu Wen said vaguely: "I'll let him do something." Is the meal ready? Later, I will go to Mr. Wu's house to return the mule, and I have to back up the gift. He helped a lot last night. ”

Obviously, there is something to hide from Chen.

Seeing that he was not in good spirits, Chen told Yu Tang to go to the kitchen to help Mrs. Chen set the table, and personally fetched water to serve Yu Wen to freshen up.

Yu Wen changed his clothes, washed his face, and asked Chen: "What about the thief and his mother?" ”

Chen said: "It's in the firewood room." I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to meet people. ”

Yu Wen didn't care about the mother and son, had dinner with Chen and Yu Tang, brought tea, wine and pastries and went to Wu's house to return the mule in person, and then sat down and talked to Chen and Yu Tang well: "After I went to Master Wu's house, I went to Lizheng's place. We haven't had a thief in Qingzhu Lane for so many years, and this kid can't stay. But for the sake of the neighbors, I will not send him to the official office, but hand him over to their own family to dispose of. Rizheng also agreed. He'll come and take them away later. ”

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay like this, so as not to ruin the reputation of our Qingzhu Lane." Then she asked about Lu Xin: "Is there an auspicious day for burial?" Is there anything we can help with? ”

When he mentioned this incident, Yu Wen was in a low mood, and he said: "This matter is all my fault, how can I involve you all." I and the monks in the temple have decided to bury tomorrow, and then let Ah Yuan go to help. You are so good at home, resting at home, doing whatever you want. ”

While talking, Yu Yuan came back.

Yu Wen said to Chen: "I will go back to the temple later, Lu Xin has no children and no daughters, I will keep vigil for him tonight." It's getting colder, so you pack me two thicker clothes and bring them with me when I go to the temple. ”

Chan answered the call and left.

Yu Wen immediately called Yu Tang and said in a low voice: "You come with me to the study to talk." ”

Yu Tang thought that her father was going to ask her about the painting, nodded, and followed her father to the study lightly.

Yu Yuan is also there.

The three of them huddled together and whispered.

Only then did Yu Tang know that Yu Yuan had gone to the gambling house on Yu Wen's orders. The steward of the gambling house refused to admit that he was entrusted by someone, and insisted that he had heard that their family had such a painting, and he did not want to give money, so he would pay a thug to go to their house to steal something.

The manager of the gambling house is like this, and Yu Yuan has no way to ask the manager of the casino to be the middleman.

There was nothing to be gained about Lu Xin's death.

Yu Wen said: "I just wanted to transport the person back as soon as possible and put him in the ground, when did he die, what was wrong before he died, and what relics were left, I thought that people died like lights going out, and I didn't ask much." ”

He regretted: "If I had known this, I should have asked." ”

Yu Tang thought a lot about it this night, and secretly had an idea in his heart. When her father and brother finished speaking, she said tentatively: "Daddy, I think we must find out about this matter." If nothing else, at least we know why the other party has to get this painting, even if they are in the dark and we are in the light, we have a way to deal with each other. Otherwise, we will only be beaten passively. Maybe it'll be like Lu Xiucai......"

Yu Wen listened, his face pale.

Yu Tang said: "Daddy, brother, I have an idea. ”

Yu Wen and Yu Yuan's eyes fell on her.

She said: "Didn't the shopkeeper Tong say before that this "Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture" is not exactly a fake painting, but that a skilled master removed the top layer of rice paper, leaving the bottom layer, and then re-copied it on the original imprint? The shopkeeper also said that there are many layers of rice paper. Otherwise, we should find a skilled master and remove the top layer of the painting, and let them steal it. In this way, we can both get out of the predicament and take a closer look at what secrets are behind the painting. Do you think it will work? ”

Yu Wen and Yu Yuan's eyes lit up, and Yu Wen praised without hiding his joy: "Ah Tang, you have been clever since you were a child, and you can think of any ghost idea for a few pieces of candy." Now you've finally put your wit to work. You have a point. Instead of making the other party suspect that we gave him a fake painting, and suspect that we are not willing to sell the painting to him, it is better to make a fake as you said. ”

Yu Yuan said: "Second uncle, Ah Tang, I met a person who specializes in antique calligraphy and painting for our family's lacquerware business, we can ask him." ”

Yu Wen said: "Are people reliable? Don't make any noise, it's not good to be self-defeating. ”

Yu Yuan smiled: "That person's surname is Qian, and he lives in Hangzhou City. Because it is not a serious business, so I live in a place called Cross Lane, which is the most prosperous place in Hangzhou, with shops on both sides of the street, I don't know how many people go in and out every day, and it extends in all directions, very lively. If something happens, you can't find anyone when you run out of the alley. So don't worry, when we go around a few more times, be careful, we will definitely not be discovered. ”

Yu Wen was a little surprised, and muttered: "In Hangzhou City! ”

"Yes!" Yu Yuan wanted to persuade Yu Wen and said, "Think about it, how can a person who does this business live in seclusion in the countryside?" What's more, Hangzhou City is not far from us, and it takes half a day to arrive by boat at most. And it's easy to deal with when someone asks, isn't this about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival? I said I wanted to go to Hangzhou City to buy something. ”

Yu Wen thought about it and said, "Then do it!" ”

Yu Tang hurriedly said: "Daddy, should I go with me?" I want to go with you, I went to Hangzhou once when I was a child! Will you take me with you? ”

Yu Wen hesitated for a while and then made up his mind, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take you there." However, you are not allowed to cause trouble for me on the road, and your eyes should be kept open, and if you find anything wrong, you must tell me and your brother in time. ”

Father, this is affirming her ability!

Yu Tang was very happy, stepped forward and hugged his father, and said, "You are so good." ”

Yu Wen pretended to keep a straight face, and said seriously: "Don't make a fool of yourself first." You have to hide this from your mother, you know? ”

"Yes!" Yu Tang guaranteed.

Yu Wen smiled, and Wen Sheng said to Yu Yuan: "Big brother and sister-in-law, don't reveal the news." lest they both be troubled for us. ”

"Yes!" Yu Yuan said respectfully.

Yu Tang ran away with a smoke: "Daddy, I'll go pack up my things." ”

Yu Wen and Yu Yuan looked at it and shook their heads with a smile.

Chen knew that Yu Wen was going to take Yu Tang to Hangzhou City, so he couldn't help muttering: "Although it is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, there is no need to go to Hangzhou City to buy things, right?" What is there in Lin'an City? ”

Yu Wen is willing to take Yu Tang to Hangzhou City to play, of course she is happy. But now, there is no silver at home, Yu Wen is a person who doesn't value money, and Yu Tang, who didn't see the agreement when he went out, and the guy who came back with three pieces of sugar, they bought it like this, how will their family live in the second half of the year?

Yu Tang faintly guessed her mother's thoughts, she affectionately took her mother's arm, and whispered: "Mom, I followed Daddy to watch him and not let him buy things indiscriminately." ”

Chen laughed, touched his daughter's head and said, "It's good that you can take care of yourself, and you still help me watch your father?" ”

"Really!" Yu Tang swore, "If I buy things indiscriminately, I will be fined and I will not be able to go out for a month." ”

Chen twisted his daughter's nose, he didn't believe her words, but he couldn't bear to detain his daughter and husband, so he simply covered his heart and didn't know.

It's a big deal that she went to make two pieces of jewelry in the second half of the year.

The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, and Li Zheng brought a few people over.

Yu Wen entertained them in the hall.

After half a cup of tea and a few pleasantries, the men took the boy and his mother away.

It is said that the people who came over with Li Zheng are the boy's own family, and as for how the family deals with the mother and son, it depends on the creation of the mother and son.

After burying Lu Xin, Yu Wen hid the painting and took Yu Yuan and Yu Tang to Hangzhou City.

At Tiaoxi Wharf, they met Pei Yan and Zhou Zijin.
