After completing the little Jiujiu in his heart, he still has to do serious things, Hongfu raised his face and said loudly: "You two carry this box...... You two carry that box ......"

Hongfu led ten maids and carried five boxes into the main hall with a high spirit. Wan Ying had already figured out where to place each object.

Hongfu opened the box in unison, and Wanying couldn't wait to take out a picture of a "Hairpin Lady" from the box in the scroll. Said to Hongfu: "Hang this painting on the wall of the dormitory, and replace the painting "Spring Snow on Mount Tai". "I just handed the painting to Hongfu, and I couldn't wait to rummage through the box.

"Niangniang, what are you looking for?" Hongfu asked.

"What about the "Qingming Riverside Picture" that this palace asked for from my father?"

"Oh, my mother, forget about it!" Hongfu shouted, she forgot that the "Qingming Riverside Picture" was still lying quietly on the floor of the warehouse.

The hearts of several maids and maids were also tight. When I was carrying the box just now, I accidentally stepped on this painting a few times.

Hongfu ran back in a hurry, came back with the scroll in her hand, handed it to Wanying, and asked puzzledly: "Niangniang, why do you think about this painting?" ”

Wan Yingqian took the scroll in her hand and put it on her bed, ready to unfold it. Hongfu was so anxious that she shouted: "Niangniang, let's put it on the table and watch it!" ”

Wanying couldn't understand Hongfu's nervousness, and asked Yingying: "This painting can't be spread out on the table." ”

Hongfu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, I can just put the two tables together." ”

Wanying nodded in agreement. Hongfu carried a sandalwood case on the side of the wall and put it next to the tea table, and Wanying spread out the picture scroll little by little, not wanting Hongfu to shake it open as heroically just now.

Yun Niang beckoned a group of maids to put the antiques on the antique shelves, and carefully stood the rare and unique books that Wanying usually looked at on the bookshelf. A little maid took the tea and handed it to Hongfu.

Wanying took the tea handed over by Hongfu and kept admiring: "This painting must be a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages!" ”

"Niangniang usually likes landscapes, flowers and birds and maid beauties, when did you suddenly become interested in this kind of New Year's painting-like painting."

Wanying took a sip of tea, shook her head and said, "It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books." Bengong has been raised in the boudoir since he was a child, and he doesn't know what the world is like, but with this painting, Bengong doesn't know. ”

Hongfu was still puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Can you know just by one painting?" ”

"Take a peek and see the whole leopard."

"Hongfu doesn't understand Niangniang's words."

Wan Ying smiled and said crisply: "You don't have to understand, you have seen the world, this palace can only look at this painting, and think about the world outside." ”

Hongfu nodded as if she didn't understand and asked, "Is this our capital?" It's so lively. It's similar to the one on the New Year's painting. ”

Wan Ying smiled, shook her head and said, "This is the Kyoto of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang City. ”

"Bianliang City? Where is it? ”

"On the banks of the Yellow River."

The little girl who liked this painting blurted out: "Niangniang, my home was in Bianliang City back then." ”

The old maid saw that the little maid had no rules, and the master interjected indiscriminately, and hurriedly pushed the little maid's back hard behind her back, and the little maid stumbled and just pounced on the maid holding the tea.

In an instant, a pot of tea was all spilled on the "Qingming Riverside Map", and the servants in the room were stunned.

The little maid and the maid holding the tea had already knelt on the ground with pale faces, and their heads kept pounding on the ground like pounding garlic. shouted again and again: "Niangniang, spare your life, Niangniang, spare your life!" ”

Yun Niang hurriedly took a cotton handkerchief, gently pressed it on the picture scroll, absorbed the tea on it, and then used her fingernails to pinch off the tea stalks one by one.

Although Wanying felt a little distressed about this painting in her heart, she was half frightened to death when she looked at the two maids. Said softly: "Get up, it's time to dry, it's not a big deal." ”

So the two maids still didn't dare to get up, their heads hit the ground, Hongfu pulled up the two little maids, and comforted her: "Our mother is a bodhisattva, you will get up if you get up." ”

The two stood up uneasily and looked at Wanying with sincere fear.

Wanying walked up to the little maid, took her hand and said, "Do you really live in Bianliang City?" ”

The little maid nodded in horror. Wanying pulled her to the side of the scroll and asked happily, "Do you think about this painting with Bianliang City?" ”

The little maid nodded, and said tremblingly: "Back to Niangniang's words, exactly the same?" ”

Wanying continued to ask, "In which direction is your home in this painting?" ”

The little maid wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, leaned on the painting and said, "There is a courtyard here, and only one corner is exposed. It's our family's old home. And now! ”

Wan Ying followed the little maid's hand and looked over, and a corner of a courtyard wall was embedded in the edge of the painting. Muttered: "Generations have passed, are they still the same?" ”

The little maid pouted and shook her head.

"Why are you shaking your head?"

"Back to Niangniang, the good situation on this painting, the slaves and maids didn't catch up, and now Bianliang City has long been a sparsely populated small place, compared with the capital, it is 108,000 miles away."

Wanying nodded thoughtfully, and the little maid said boldly: "Niangniang, look, these shops are still there, this teahouse and the hotel opposite, I was still in operation when I entered Beijing."

Wanying listened to the little maid talking in detail, watching Yun Niang command the maids to decorate various objects, and imagined in her mind that Bianliang City under the prosperous era was imagined. The Bianhe River is long, carrying boatloads of heavy goods into Beijing. Or the silk from the south of the Yangtze River, or the tea and rice from Lianghuai, or the painting boat that was deliberately lost on the Qinhuai River for ten miles, by the half-open and half-hidden window, the thin horse of Qinhuai with heavy makeup and light makeup, half happy and half sad. The wind in the north is cold, and it can't dissipate the sorrow in the woman's heart.

was originally a picture of a prosperous spring, but suddenly stained with a little sorrow. The little maid is still chattering about the terroir of her hometown. didn't look at the outside, Wanying's heart had already changed.

When he was young, he said quietly: "Thirty thousand taels of silver, buy a complete map of the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, it's worth it." ”

Hongfu put down the feather duster in her hand and asked in amazement, "Didn't you say you bought it for 10,000 taels before?" ”

Wanying smiled back, smiling without saying a word. Yun Niang watched the maids work, and said flutteringly: "I said that it would be sold for 10,000 taels." At the time of the handover, the family suddenly repented. added a thousand taels, and our lord agreed. ”

Hong Fu felt pain just by listening to it, she thought it was a sky-high price of 10,000 taels, but she didn't expect the final transaction price of this painting to be 30,000 taels. Walked up to Yun Niang and asked, "That should be 11,000 taels, how can it be 30,000 taels?" ”

Yun Niang shook her head helplessly: "The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and the family agreed happily when they saw one thousand taels, so they simply increased it to twenty thousand taels." ”

Hongfu patted the table and said, "And then?" ”

"This painting was placed in our house at the time, and it happened that the mother saw it in the flower room. Say like the tight. Our lord agreed to the young lady. ”

"As a result, the family sat on the ground and raised the price, Rao is 20,000 taels, are they still unwilling to sell?"

"Exactly, the old man wanted to buy this painting for his mother, so he didn't care about one or two hundred thousand taels, and the family also saw what we wanted to buy, and finally didn't sell it."

"Then why did you get to our house again?"

"It wasn't that the master himself went to their house, said good things about a carriage, promised 30,000 taels of silver, and lost a piece of land on the outskirts of Beijing, so he bought the painting back."

Yun Niang saw that she was almost cleaned up, and said to the maids: "Carry the boxes down!" ”

There were only three masters and servants left in the hall, and Hongfu took the feather duster in her hand, knocked it on the picture scroll fiercely, and said dissatisfiedly: "There are still such villains in this world who take advantage of the fire to rob, and they deserve to be ruined." ”

Yun Niang smiled helplessly and said: "Our lord is doting on our mother, and my mother said that she wanted this painting, and the master still went up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and he also wanted to get it." ”

Wanying looked at the "Qingming Riverside Picture" in front of her, and suddenly wanted to shed tears, she said something casually, and her father actually came to the door to say good things and buy the painting back.

"This painting won't be able to dry for a while, so I just take advantage of this time to smoke it and put it in the dormitory of the palace to play with it in the future, right?"

"Niangniang, what kind of incense do you want to smoke?" Yun Niang asked.

"Is there any incense that can cure homesickness, and if so, let's smoke the main palace as well......"

After Wanying finished speaking, big tears flowed down. I didn't even cry when I got on the sedan chair, but I didn't expect to start thinking about my father and mother after only one day of leaving home.

Yun Niang took a handkerchief and handed it to Wanying, comforting: "Niangniang, on a happy day, you can't shed tears." It's going to punch. The lord and aunt are all fine in the house, and they will come to talk in a few days, and they will also make it. ”

Wanying nodded, wiping the thoughts from her eyes. Glutinous said: "Just use the orchid fragrance...... Hongu's mind is chaotic now, and he can only think of this incense ......"

Yun Niang snuggled up to Wanying and persuaded and suggested: "Niangniang, the orchid grass is too sweet and easy to attract small insects to bite. It would be better to smoke some sandalwood, which is both moth-proof and moisture-proof. ”

"Well, just according to what Yun Niang said, smoke some sandalwood."

"I'll go get the smoker and find out where the sandalwood is."

Yun Niang waved her hand and said: "No need, I have put it in the main hall, I originally wanted to wait for Niangniang's middle clothes to dry soon, smoke some roses, this time it's still early, smoke the painting first!" ”

Hongfu ran out with a cigarette, and with a cup of tea, she came back with a few pieces of silver charcoal. Lift the smoker, remove the smoker, and put all the silver charcoal inside. The smoker is then assembled and placed under the rack for smoking clothes. Carefully held the scroll, hung it lightly on the hanger, and muttered to himself: "A mediocre-looking painting actually cost our family 30,000 taels of silver." ”

Wanying was silent, Yun Niang said: "Don't say 30,000 taels, even 300,000 taels, I'm afraid that our master is also determined to win this time." ”

"According to this, we have to thank the family, 30,000 taels is not a lion's mouth, if it is really bullish to us 300,000 taels, the master will really give it."

"What do the three masters and servants say? It's so lively......" Prince Rong's voice came into the hall.
