Master Shu frowned, looked up at Shu Churou, sighed and said, "Alas! I don't know which god killed it, but I stole the painting that your sister prepared for the little prince, you look at the calligraphy and painting in this place, and look for it for my father several times, and the painting is really lost. ”

It's all at this moment, and Master Shu can be regarded as resigned to his fate and no longer look for it in the study, since the housekeeper said that he put it into the painting jar in the study with his own hands, the painting will definitely not run away with long legs.

But the housekeeper has been following him for more than ten years, and he can't do this kind of stealing the painting and then pretending to deceive him and say that he doesn't know, so after thinking about it carefully, he feels that it must be a short-handed subordinate in the house, seeing that this painting is so valued, he guesses that this painting can be worth some silver taels, so he secretly took the painting.

He must investigate this thief, but the top priority is to think of a compromise recipe so that he can give an explanation to the little prince.

Master Shu was at a loss, so he had to pin his hopes on Shu Qingci, hoping that she could find the painter again and make the same painting again.

He sighed again, turned his head to look at Shu Churou, and commanded in a slightly hoarse voice: "Churou, since you are here, then you can go to Qinglan Pavilion for a run, tell your sister, and let her come over quickly."

Shu Churou looked at the scattered things on the ground in shock, and then did not obey Master Shu's instructions to go out to call Shu Qingci, but took small steps, bypassing the calligraphy and paintings on the ground and walking to the Nanmu desk.

"Daddy, it's this kind of time, I'm afraid it's useless to find my sister, my daughter heard that anyone who has some craftsmanship, this character is very strange, yesterday my sister asked for that painting, and now I said that the painting was lost, but I'm afraid that the painter will not only not paint again, but will blame my sister for not cherishing his pen, so, I am afraid that the reputation of our Shu family is not good."

Shu Churou frowned slightly, and everything she said was for her sister Shu Qingci and the reputation of her Shu family, and at this time, she was also seven dignified and virtuous.

When Master Shu heard this, the lump between the two thick eyebrows instantly increased, and his face became more and more ugly.

If he caught the thief who stole the painting, he would have to chop off his hand, and such an act would have appeared in his Shu house.

Sighing, Master Shu cursed angrily, "If I catch the one who stole the painting, I have to peel off his skin." ”

Shu Churou's delicate body trembled slightly, her face instantly turned a little whiter, she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and forced herself to comfort herself, which brought back Fang Cai's calmness a little.

That's right, she stole the painting, and earlier she wanted to take advantage of the second aunt's portrait of the little prince to present a painting, and when the little prince praised the painting, she took the opportunity to perform in front of the little prince, but who knew that she didn't say a word, but let Shu Qingci's slut steal the limelight again.

It's okay like this, the little prince actually spoke softly and affectionately with her in front of everyone, so that she was not angry.

The most annoying thing, Shu Qing porcelain not only won the attention of the little prince, but also got a reward from the little prince, but she and her mother worked hard and exhausted their private money to find a painting, but they were worthless compared to the painting of Shu Qing porcelain.

The position of the mother's mother is not small, and it is nothing to spend money, but just the scene of Shu Qingci and the little prince eyebrows, she can't swallow this breath.

Therefore, when she learned in the antechamber that the painting was going to be placed in the study, after leaving the antechamber, she went directly to the study and hid in a hidden place, and when she saw the butler coming out of the study, she sneaked into the study and stole the painting out when there was no one around.

The stealing of the painting went so smoothly thanks to the fact that she had placed this one alone in a painting vat, so that she moved quickly and no one noticed.

She stole the painting and did not destroy it, but secretly took it back to the Tilting Cloud Residence, closed the door and locked the courtyard for an hour, and copied the stolen painting several times.

After copying it like this, she arranged for Xiaolan to go to the main gate to watch Ye Hanyue's every move, and when she saw her come back, she stepped on the time and pretended to come to the study unintentionally.

Although Master Shu's angry scolding made her feel a little panicked, it still couldn't withstand her determination to compare Shu Qingci to her feet.

Shu Churou secretly pinched it, and instantly calmed down under the slight pain, she showed a worried look on her face, and her tone hesitated many times before she spoke: "Daddy, my daughter has a way to solve the urgent needs of the moment, but my daughter is afraid that if she says it, her father will be angry."

When Master Shu heard that there was a way, his dim eyes lit up instantly, and he asked urgently: "Quickly, tell me to my father."

Shu Chu smiled softly, and then said what he thought word by word.

"Daddy, the daughter of that painting has also looked at it twice, because the painting is really good, and the daughter also likes it very much, so I pay more attention to the painting in my heart, originally the daughter just planned to go back to the room by herself, copy and learn alone, but now ......"

She raised her eyes and looked at Master Shu with a slight hesitation, and then said uncomfortably: "Daddy, my daughter can copy that painting, I wonder if Daddy can let his daughter try it to solve her urgent need."

Her tone was sincere, and what she said was as if it were true.

Master Shu calmed his face, lowered his eyes and thought about it, his daughter still has some ability to paint, but after all, what she painted can't match the original painting made by the painter, but now there is no other way.

He looked up at Shu Churou, and his tone was slightly slower, "In this case, you can draw a picture in front of your father, if your father looks good, then this thing may be possible." ”

Shu Churou was overjoyed, but she still made a delicate and embarrassed look on her face.

"Thank you, Daddy."

Saying thank you, Master Shu had already let go of the position in front of the desk, Shu Churou stepped forward, lifted the pen with an elegant sleeve, and picked up the pen against the blank picture scroll on the desk.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and she copied the painting several times without stopping, which naturally had some effect.

Half an hour later, Shu Churou put the pen in her hand aside, she picked up the finished painting, took a closer look, and looked satisfied.

She blew the ink that had not dried twice, and then respectfully handed the finished painting to Master Shu, who was waiting on the side.

"Daddy, please take a look."

Master Shu was anxious, but he was very cautious in his actions to receive the painting, and after taking the painting, he only looked at it twice, and the pimple between his eyebrows dispersed.

The worried look on his face was obviously relaxed, and then he glanced at the painting a few times before he looked up at Shu Churou and praised with a smile: "I really didn't expect that your practice of looking at paintings and painting has reached such a point now, and my father really underestimates you, haha, yes, although there is still a gap between this one and that one, it is enough to frame it."

"It's good to be able to use it, when my daughter paints, I am still very worried in my heart, I am afraid that if it doesn't work, how should the little prince explain?" When Shu Churou mentioned Huangfu Xiu, the look on her face was a little obsessed, and her heart was as sweet as molasses. She smiled, as if she was relieved like Master Shu.

Master Shu glanced at the painting in his hand a few more times, and then carefully rolled up the painting that he had finally obtained.

"This matter for the father will definitely remember you first, just when you paint it takes a long time, I'm afraid that you are also a little tired, you go back to rest first, and after the father sends this painting to the Three Kings' Mansion, then come to discuss how to reward you."

Master Shu was happy in his heart, and his former majestic and cold face became amiable.

Shu Churou blessed her body, and then said: "Then daddy, you are busy first, and your daughter will retire first."

Master Shu smiled, "Go ahead." ”

Shu Churou lowered her head and walked out of the study, and when she walked to the courtyard, she raised her head, and her gorgeous face was full of meaning.

After Master Shu left, he called someone to call Ye Hanyue over, Ye Hanyue was waiting for Shu Qingci to wake up from a nap in Qinglan Pavilion, and told her about the loss of the painting, Master Shu sent someone to find her in a hurry, and she had to rush to the study first in a daze.

As soon as she entered the study, Ye Hanyue didn't have time to salute and ask, so Master Shu opened her mouth first.

"Don't salute, Satsuki, come here, come and see this painting."

Master Shu knew that Ye Hanyue had some skills in reading paintings, and when Shu Qingci brought the painting before, the maids around her would also take a look at it, and Master Shu asked her to take a look, which was actually to reassure herself.

Ye Hanyue was puzzled by what kind of painting Master Shu was going to show her, so she stepped forward curiously, and after only a cursory glance, her eyes lit up, and her brows furrowed.

The painting in front of her was exactly the same as the one she had painted, and even if she had changed the position and posture of the crane, it was exactly the same as hers, and if you didn't look closely, it really looked a little like the one she painted.

She glanced at Master Shu suspiciously, puzzled.

The housekeeper also said that the painting was lost, how could he make a fake one in such a short time. Although the painting in front of her is the same as her own imagination, the brushwork is obviously hesitant under closer inspection, and it is obviously an imitation.

Imitations? Who is so capable of imitating her paintings?

Master Shu saw that she was puzzled, so he explained with a smile: "Xiaoyue, you must have heard the housekeeper say just now, the one sent by the eldest lady has been lost, so I won't hide it from you, the picture in front of you was painted by your second lady herself, and this time it is thanks to the first girl, otherwise our Shu family is afraid that we will suffer."

He said with emotion in his heart, turned to look at Ye Hanyue, and ordered: "Xiaoyue, I'm afraid that this painting will be stolen again, you first quietly take this painting back, and tomorrow morning you will personally go to the Three Princes' Mansion and send this painting to the Three Princes' Mansion."
