Volume 1 The author becomes a cannon fodder female supporting role Chapter 75 The painting is lost
Master Shu has been listening to the movement here, Huang Fu Xiu said this, he naturally understood that Huang Fu Xiu chose the painting presented by Shu Qing porcelain, and immediately stepped forward to accompany him and said with a smile: "Since the little prince has chosen this painting as the birthday gift of the queen mother, the old man has finally settled on his mind, the little prince can rest assured, this painting will be sent to you later."
"That's very good." Huangfu Xiu smiled and nodded his head, then glanced at Ye Hanyue, looked at Master Shu and said, "Miss Shu has spent all this effort to select such a masterpiece for Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang doesn't know how to be grateful......
He pretended to be silent for a moment, and then said: "Since Master Shu took over this task, then, Xiao Wang will pay Miss Shu a batch of silver taels to show his gratitude, which can be regarded as paying Miss Shu for the silver taels spent when he bought this painting, what does Master Shu think?"
For businessmen, it is better to give a return gift than to give a silver tael directly, besides, when Master Shu took over this task, his original intention was also to earn a sum of money, and Huangfu Xiu said that he wanted to reward two silver taels, and he was naturally happy.
"The little prince is polite, Qing porcelain, don't thank the little prince for the reward."
Shu Qingci hung his head and stepped forward, "Thank you, little prince." ”
Huangfu Xiu nodded with a smile in his eyebrows, "Since the matter of the birthday ceremony has already been completed, and there is still something to do in the little prince's mansion, this painting will bother this girl to send it in person." ”
He looked at Ye Hanyue and mentioned it again.
He was worried that she had found someone else to go, and he was even more worried that the Shu family would not let her go.
Old Master Shu was slightly stunned for a moment when he saw Huangfu Xiu looking at Ye Hanyue, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, little prince, this girl will definitely be sent when you turn around."
Huangfu Xiu glanced at Ye Hanyue, and then looked at Master Shu and said, "Then Xiao Wang said goodbye."
"Little prince walks slowly." Master Shu followed Huangfu Xiu's side and walked out of the front hall.
As soon as Master Shu left, the second aunt, who had long been impatient, immediately stepped forward, pointed at Shu Qingci and scolded: "You little slut, why do you always hinder me from becoming the housewife, do you know that I have been waiting for the position of the housewife for half my life, you slut......"
The high price of the second aunt is enough to buy the calligraphy and painting, Huangfu Xiu only glanced at it briefly, and then put it aside, and now the painting to be used for the birthday ceremony is already the painting selected by Shu Qing porcelain, so the position of the master mother promised to her by Master Shu has become a phantom bubble, and she really has the heart to kill Shu Qingci at the moment.
She had a hideous face and scolded a few words and was still angry, she had been looking forward to the position of the master mother for half her life, and she was ruined in just one day, she was angry, and raised her hand to fan Shu Qingci.
Shu Qingci subconsciously dodged, and Ye Hanyue hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the second aunt's wrist.
"Second lady, why has my young lady obstructed you from being the position of this housewife many times, you should ask yourself this." Ye Hanyue pushed her backhand hard, and pushed the second aunt back a few steps, and then she continued with a calm face: "If you have the appearance of being a housewife, my young lady will not stop you, but it's a pity...... Second lady, no matter what you do now, you are qualified to be a stepmother. ”
"You, you cheap maid, you dare to contradict the master, someone is coming, ......" Shu Churou helped the second aunt and stared at Ye Hanyue, she couldn't clean up Shu Qingci, and she couldn't clean up this slave who bullied the master.
"What's the fuss!"
As soon as Master Shu walked to the door, he heard a commotion in the front hall, and he stood at the door with a calm face and scolded.
Shu Churou was stunned for a moment, and then shrank behind the second aunt.
Master Shu calmed his eyes, just glanced at the front hall, he knew where the reason for the commotion came from, he looked at the second aunt who shrunk in one place, and said in a slightly cold tone: "I also told you before, if the little prince chooses the painting you handed in, then the position of the master is yours, but now that the little prince has taken a fancy to Qing porcelain, it can be regarded as a loss, so go back first, this matter is over."
He then looked at Shu Churou again, and added in a stern tone: "If I find out that someone is making things difficult for Qinglan Pavilion on the grounds of this matter, then, get out of my Shu family."
Shu Churou's body was shocked, and the hands that were supporting the second aunt immediately clenched a little.
Master Shu stared at the two of them for a while, and then turned his gaze to Shu Qingci and Ye Hanyue beside Shu Qingci, his face softened a lot, and his tone was much gentler.
"Qing porcelain, this matter is thanks to your thoughtful thinking in advance, otherwise, ......" he smiled with satisfaction, "Fortunately, this matter is settled, by the way, Xiaoyue, you will ask the name of the person who painted later, and send it to the Three Princes' Mansion together with this painting, since this little prince named you to go, then you will run, if this thing is done, I will also remember your credit." ”
Since the last Gongpuhe incident, Master Shu has vaguely sensed that there is something between this slave and the little prince, but he can't say for sure, but his intuition tells him that this slave is a little different from the little prince.
Since beating Gongpu and confessing, Ye Hanyue's suspicion of bullying has been cleared, so Master Shu's attitude towards her is far better than that of other subordinates in Shu Mansion.
Others only thought that Ye Hanyue saved Shu Qingci, and Master Shu remembered that he had merit, but in fact, it was not.
"Thank you, sir." Ye Hanyue smiled and leaned over to make a big salute.
"Well, housekeeper, put this painting away and put it in the study, and when this girl comes back, I will give it to this girl."
"Yes, sir."
"Go down, all of you."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, Daddy."
Master Shu spoke, and the second aunt had no choice but to glare at Shu Qingci, and was angrily helped out of the front hall by Shu Churou.
Ye Hanyue looked at the two women who were huffing with a smile, and her heart was a lot more refreshed, seeing that the second aunt was gone, she whispered to Shu Qingci and said, "Miss, let's go back too."
"Hmm." Shu Qingci answered expressionlessly, and then took the lead in walking towards the door.
Sending Shu Qingci back to Qinglan Pavilion, Ye Hanyue discussed with Shu Qingci, and asked the name of the person who painted by the way.
After Ye Hanyue left the house, she really went to Nanlaiju as she said, but she didn't go to send silver taels to the shopkeeper of Nanlaiju, but went to talk to Lin Bai's shopkeeper about the matter in advance, in case Shu Qingci became suspicious and secretly came to Nanlaiju to inquire.
Lin Bai's shopkeeper has also had many transactions with her, so he won't say much, but only told Ye Hanyue to take the time to make a few more masterpieces and send them over.
Ye Hanyue responded casually, and then left Nanlaiju in a hurry under the pretext that there was something.
She had already thought of the name of the person who painted when she painted, and she didn't use her real name when she was selling paintings in Nanlaiju, but now she is using it.
After she returned to Shufu, she didn't go back to Qinglan Pavilion directly, but went to the housekeeper first.
Huangfu Xiu asked her to go to the Three Princes' Mansion to send paintings, maybe she had some ghost idea, while it was still early, she went early and returned early, and it was good to break the entanglement with Huangfu Xiu.
The housekeeper learned that she was going to send the painting, and immediately led her to see Master Shu, who naturally wished that she would send the painting to the Three Kings' Mansion as soon as possible, so as not to change later, but when Master Shu went to the study to pick up the painting in person, something strange happened.
"Butler, are you sure you put that painting in this painting jar?" Master Shu looked anxious, and opened several scrolls one after another, but he didn't find the one that the emperor had selected before.
The butler also opened and looked for the paintings he had painted one by one, but the paintings he had put in the painting jar with his own hands were indeed missing.
"Master, the little one really put the painting here." The housekeeper is also confused, how can this good painting be gone?
"Quick, look for it again, if you can't find it, how can you explain it to the little prince?" Master Shu didn't have time to blame the housekeeper at this time, he rummaged through the study in a frustrated manner, and the painting scrolls were soon scattered on the ground, but the painting was not found.
"Master, that painting ......" The butler saw that the study had been turned over twice, and there was really nothing he could do.
Master Shu sat on the chair in frustration, waved his hand weakly and said, "That's it, go tell the girl, let her explain to the little prince, and say that this painting is lost."
"Master, in this way, the little prince will be angry......" the butler said worriedly.
"Angry? Then where is there any other way now......" Master Shu sighed, it's such a time, where can I get an exact painting, unless......
Master Shu's dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately sat up straight and instructed the butler: "You quickly send someone to the Three Princes' Mansion, just say that this painting scroll is not beautiful enough, and it needs to be retouched, and then send someone to the Three Princes' Mansion tomorrow."
"This ......" The housekeeper was puzzled, this painting is lost, what is the use of decorating the painting scroll? He didn't dare to ask, so he had to turn around and leave the study.
Ye Hanyue had been waiting outside the courtyard where the study was located, and when she saw the housekeeper coming out, she hurriedly greeted her.
Before she could speak, the housekeeper took the first step and said, "Xiaoyue, I'm afraid this painting won't be delivered."
"What's wrong?" Ye Hanyue frowned and was puzzled, why couldn't it be delivered well?
The butler sighed before he said, "This painting is lost."
"Lost? Why did you lose it? Ye Hanyue was shocked for a moment, and then asked.
The housekeeper was in a hurry to do what Master Shu ordered, and he didn't explain much, but said: "If you lose it, you lose it, you go back first, I still have urgent matters, and I'll talk to you in detail when I get back."
"Hey! The housekeeper ...... "Ye Hanyue still wanted to ask a few words, but the housekeeper had already left in a hurry, she glanced into the courtyard, and had to leave in a huff.
Not long after Ye Hanyue left the study, Shu Churou appeared at the door of the courtyard of the study, she looked at Ye Hanyue's figure in the distance, smiled proudly, and then walked into the courtyard.
Master Shu looked at the calligraphy and paintings scattered all over the place, and was looking for whether to ask Shu Qingci to go to the art gallery, and then ask the painter to make a similar painting.
He thought it was the housekeeper, so he didn't look at anyone and ordered: "Butler, go and invite the eldest lady over, just say ......"
"Daddy." Shu Churou interrupted Master Shu's words loudly, and then looked at the calligraphy and paintings all over the floor of the study in shock, and exclaimed, "Daddy, what's wrong?"
