Shen Zhong's meaning of saving grain is not to sell it when the price is high, he doesn't have this mind, but he is worried that a little famine will cause the family to go hungry.

Shen Zhong's idea was simple, Shen Xiaoxia's head quickly turned into a work, and he wrote a thick letter with his thoughts and opinions, planning to go to Gushan Town tomorrow, one is to send a letter to Fengyun Villa, so that they can quickly store grain, and Zezhou can't buy grain, so go to other state capitals to buy it, the more the better. The second is to go out to see what the situation is outside, so as to have a precaution.

Not long after Xiao Xia went out the next day, Shen Zhi actually landed at the door of Shen Zhong's house.

Shen Zhi definitely went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he must have come with a purpose. He was invited into the main hall, and Aunt Jixiang brought tea and asked him to wait for Shen Zhong while drinking tea.

Shen Zhi sat on the chair thinking about his thoughts, and inadvertently looked up, only to see an inconspicuous landscape painting hanging on the front wall of the main hall. I was shocked, and I was in a cold sweat at that time.

Who is Xun Nanzi! Anyone who has read the book knows that one of the most famous painters in history, that is a hundred years ago, as long as it is his painting, any one of them is worth thousands of taels of silver, but the paintings he left in the world are very rare, and they may not be able to buy it with silver.

Shen Zhi got up and stood in front of the painting, thinking carefully, he was born in a poor show, he could see a few famous paintings, he just knew the famous painter, whether the painting was real, he couldn't see it. But he always had an inexplicable and wonderful feeling in his heart, feeling that this painting was real.

"When did the third brother come? Wait a long time! Shen Zhong's voice has always been loud, and his voice startled Shen Zhi, who was concentrating on the painting, jumped.

"It didn't take long." Shen Zhi turned around and sat back in his chair, tilted his head and looked at the painting again, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the painting was real.

"Second brother, where did this painting come from?"

Shen Zhong was stunned by the question, and after reacting, he also glanced at the painting on the wall, and said: "This is still after the house was built, Xiao Xia got it, and I hung it here, I looked at the painting paper is yellow, and it is not as good as the New Year's painting, so I want to lose it." But Xiao Xia said that big families like to hang old paintings, and said that the older the paintings, the more valuable they are. ”

Shen Zhi paid attention to it after hearing this, it seemed that Shen Zhong didn't know anything about this painting, and he was secretly excited in his heart. I looked at it twice more and kept the painting firmly in my heart.

"What's the matter with the third brother?" Shen Zhong saw that Shen Zhi didn't speak, so he stared at the painting, thinking that he liked it, and said generously: "This painting, the third brother likes it?" If you like it, take it. ”

When Shen Zhi heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart. "Then thank you, second brother."

Shen Zhi came to discuss the matter of his eldest brother Shen Cai, not long ago, Shen Cai dragged someone to find Shen Zhi and threatened him that he and his son must be out of prison before September, otherwise he would tell Shen Zhi's secret.

So Shen Zhi had to do his best to save people, Shen Zhi had been an official for more than a year, and he still had some way, but he needed some money, so he came to Shen Zhong.

Shen Zhi's meaning is very clear, I will have a relationship, you will give the silver, and the brothers will work together to bring out Shen Cai's father and son.

"How much silver?"

"Not much, a thousand taels of silver!"

"What? One thousand taels? Shen Zhong was taken aback, frowning: "Even if I sell all my family assets, I may not have a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Shen Zhong thought he was telling the truth, but Shen Zhi didn't think so. Shen Zhi looked at the painting hanging on the wall again, and because of this painting, the original plan of five hundred taels of silver rose to one thousand taels at once.

"Second brother is too modest, you think about it, I still have something to do, go back first." I took the painting. ”

Shen Zhi was now thinking about whether this landscape map was genuine, so he took the painting and left.

The matter of Shen Cai's father and son is not what Shen Zhi really wants to do, as long as Shen Zhong can come up with a thousand taels of silver, Shen Cai's father and son can come out. Shen Zhi thought of an excuse to deal with Shen Cai, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his steps were windy, and the unhappiness in front of Shen Zhong's house disappeared.

Anyway, Xiao Xia's side, Jixiang drove the ox cart in the morning, and she came to Gushan Town with Feihua.

I was really shocked when I saw the scene of the backing town, and the originally lively streets were much deserted. Most of the small shops were closed, there weren't many people coming and going on the streets, most of them were in a hurry, and the whole town was a little less lively.

"How so?" Xiao Xia asked strangely, even if there is a natural disaster, but it is not yet the time for the autumn harvest! It's uncertain what the hell is going on, how it's so bleak.

"The second girl doesn't know, if God is not happy, the world will not be able to live, this year's food is basically hopeless, and I don't know how many people will starve to death in winter! It's inevitable that people will be panicked. The famine in my hometown that lasted for three years in a row, how many people died! "Auspicious is that famine, the children in the family died, the sale was sold, and now there are only two old people left.

Xiao Xia frowned and walked around the backing town, sent the letter out, and returned. Seeing is believing, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have this sense of embarrassment, and it seemed that she had taken action.

With a concern on her mind, Xiao Xia returned to the boudoir when she got home to prepare for what was about to happen.

When Xiao Xia found that the famous painting hanging in the main hall was missing, it was many days later.

When she looked at the empty wall, Xiao Xia was dumbfounded, there was a thief in the house, no!

Xiao Wang was looking at Xiao Si on the kang in the small side room, Xiao Si couldn't climb yet, the weather was hot, she only wore a red red belly pocket embroidered with koi, rolling around on the cushion, and giggling from time to time.

Xiao Si smiled, and Xiao Wang and Xiao Qiu also laughed, really carefree.

"Mother, where is the painting hanging in the main hall?"

Xiao Wang was asked, obviously he didn't know, and he was a little confused. "What painting?"

"Is that the yellowed painting?"

"Oh, that! I heard your father say that when your third uncle came last time, he took a fancy to the painting and took it away. ”

"What?" Xiao Xia's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

Xiao Wang was startled, she patted her chest, and hugged Xiao Si who rolled to the side of the kang back to his original position, Xiao Si was a little unhappy, pouted, and continued to roll without giving up.

"Your father didn't like it in the first place, but if your third uncle likes it, he gave it to him, making a fuss!"

Xiao Xia held her forehead and began to have a headache, she couldn't blame her father for not knowing the goods, she blamed herself for hanging some famous paintings at home, she remembered the first time Mr. Xia saw that painting in the main hall, but she was surprised, and then Xiao Xia also inquired, that painting was worth at least a few thousand taels of silver, so it was cheap Shen Zhi, so how can it be done!

It's a pity that Xiao Xia found out too late.

Shen Zhi, who got the painting, didn't go back home, so he went back to Jiuyang City directly and found an antique shop to identify, but he was almost happy and couldn't find the north.

"The real work is indeed the true work of Xun Nanzi, and it is worth at least five thousand taels of silver in the world. Don't know if you sell or not? ”

"Sell!" When Shen Zhi heard that five thousand taels was still at least five thousand taels, his heart beat like thunder, and he agreed in one bite.
