Old Madam Zhou nodded thoughtfully, "Big brother is right. It's just that our house is old and small, and I'm afraid it won't be able to contribute. Although the family is not rich, even if we sell our property, we have to make up the money. ”

Selling property? Several elders of the Wang family looked at Mrs. Zhou, and then looked at Wang Gezhi's father and son, even if their business was bad, it was still a trivial matter to make up a thousand taels of silver, where could they use it to sell their property! Mrs. Zhou's words were a little stricter.

Could it be that she doesn't want to give out the money, and wants to let the third room come out? I heard that the three-room shop is getting better and better. The old lady of the Wu family in the third room frowned slightly, sister-in-law, what is this going to do?

Suddenly, the atmosphere became delicate. Everyone was silent, some admired the teacup in their hands, and some looked at the vase in the room, all of them looking engrossed. Lan Yi almost laughed out loud, these people were really ridiculous.

Everyone quieted down, and the whispers of Yu'er and Wenxuan became abrupt. Everyone focused on the two children, Lan Yi didn't blame them, it was not easy for the two children to sit quietly. She turned around and poured water for the two little ones to drink, and sat on the couch with them to play, and the mother and son were so engaged that they seemed to have forgotten that there were so many people in the house with their own thoughts.

Everyone's eyes moved with the mother and son, and their calm expressions were a little touched when they looked at their obvious situation. Cultivating the ancestral hall, isn't it such a picture of a family being together safely and happily?

Old Madam Zhou looked at everyone's pensive expressions and sighed: "A few days ago, my poor daughter-in-law just entered the ground, and the old woman thought that Wen Xuan would come back and she would be happy to watch it from the sky. The things in my son and daughter-in-law's Duoping Hall have always been kept in their original form, and some items are also stored in my daughter-in-law's private vault. I am now in charge of selling it to repair the ancestral hall, which can be regarded as accumulating some blessings for my grandchildren. ”

Hearing the things in Yao's private treasury, Tian's color changed: "Auntie, after the disappearance of my sister-in-law, the house is in chaos, and the maids and mothers-in-law have no one to restrain them, and there are many things that are missing from all parties." Besides, the sister-in-law's private treasury has no account books, how do you know what things are. ”

Old Madam Zhou looked at Tian strangely: "This is strange, do you know if your sister-in-law's private treasury has account books?" ”

Tian was stunned, yes, how should she know about her sister-in-law's private vault? Isn't this a self-defeating mouthshot! Tian's smile was a little distorted, and he didn't dare to look up at everyone's gaze.

"Chengde's family, call in the mother-in-law who is in charge of Duopingtang's private treasury."

Zheng nodded, brought a mother-in-law in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady. When Tian saw her mother-in-law, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she could still handle this person.

"Chengming's family, in the past few years since your man went, you have been in charge of the affairs of Duopingtang in the inner house, right?"

The mother-in-law nodded.

"Do you have account books in your private vault?"

The mother-in-law did not squint, "Old lady, after the eldest lady disappeared, the slave maid checked the account books of the eldest lady and the objects in the private treasury together with Zhou's mother and the Chengde family, all of which were verified, and the account books have always been here in this slave and maid." ”

Old Madam Zhou nodded, took the account book and looked at it twice, "You go and take out these two famous calligraphy and paintings of the former dynasty in the library, these calligraphy and paintings are now worth thousands of taels of silver, and after taking them out and selling them, they can repair the ancestral hall." ”

The Wang family showed joy on their faces, they didn't expect the silver matter to be implemented so quickly.

Wang Gezhi, who loves to paint and is obsessed, couldn't help frowning when she heard Mrs. Zhou say this, "Sister-in-law said that the two calligraphy and paintings of Li Taibai in the previous dynasty?" It was bought by Mingzhe at a high price, but it was not only a thousand taels of silver, but it was a pity to sell it. Sister-in-law should keep it for Wen Xuan, so that he can have a thought. ”

These two calligraphy and paintings are known to the Wang family, but Wang Mingzhe for his wife's birthday specially exchanged from the famous collector of calligraphy and painting, at that time Mrs. Zhou was furious to punish Yao, provoked Yao's miscarriage and moved out of the Wang family's mansion, causing a stir.

Mrs. Zhou also remembered what happened at that time, and her face was not very good-looking, "It is those two, and the remaining ones are not as valuable as these two." Chengming's family, you go and get it now and give it to the patriarch. ”

Cheng Ming's family didn't get up after hearing this, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and everyone knew that there was something going on here.

Tian gritted his silver teeth, wishing he was not in the house.

"Say! What's going on! Mrs. Zhou asked sharply.

"Old lady, the calligraphy and paintings of the eldest lady are no longer in the warehouse, and the key to the warehouse is not here for the slave." The mother-in-law of the Chengming family said tremblingly.

"Not here!" Old Madam Zhou raised her eyebrows and asked, "You are in charge of Duoping Hall, and you actually said that the key is not in your hands!" Where did the calligraphy and painting go, say! ”

The Chengming family shuddered for a moment and said: "After the second lady took charge of the back house, she said that she wanted to check the eldest lady's private treasury and took some items from the private treasury. This year, the second lady told the slave and maid that the house should be repaired after the rain leakage in Duopingtang, so she moved some things out of the library, and the key was also held by the second lady, and she would return it to the slave and maid after the house was repaired. ”

When everyone heard this, they all focused their eyes on Tian, Wang Mingli didn't know these things, he swept over Tian coldly, his eyes were very gloomy.

The muscles on Tian's face twitched, and he glared at his mother-in-law and said, "You old thing, what nonsense!" You hid it yourself, but now you're blaming me! You are not afraid to do such evil things, so that your son can't hold his head up because of an old man like you! ”

After Wang Chengming's death, his mother-in-law was dedicated to keeping her only son alive, and what she was most afraid of was that something would happen to her son. Tian said this to threaten her to be careful of her son's safety.

But Wang Chengming's only son has now been sent to Zhuangzi in the distance by Mrs. Zhou, and promised to send her to Zhuangzi to reunite with her son as long as the mother-in-law tells the truth, and this mother-in-law will naturally not be frightened by the Tian family.

Cheng Ming's kowtow touched the ground, "Second lady, you have to speak with your conscience." The things in the master's room are not dared to move when they are killed, even if they are taken, the slaves and maids cannot be taken out of the Wang family, and if the old lady does not believe it, she can go to the slave room to search. ”

Tian sneered, "Hmph! Who knows where you've hidden your stuff, it's ready for us to search, where to find it. ”

Cheng Mingjia raised his head and took out a notebook from his arms, "Old lady, this is every time the second lady takes an object from Duopingtang, the slave and maid remember it with a pen." What I'm afraid of is that when the old lady asks one day, the slave and maid can't take out anything. ”

Mrs. Zhou took the notebook and handed it to Mrs. Zhou, who looked through it, and the anger on her face became more and more obvious. She casually handed the notebook to Wu, and after Wu's results were flipped through and Wei took it curiously, the more she looked at the expression on her face, the more wonderful it became.

"Second sister-in-law, sister-in-law's house is leaking so badly that you even took away the screen in the house?"

Tian glanced at her fiercely, "What the fourth brother and sister are talking nonsense, it's all nonsense from this mother-in-law." Auntie, don't you believe that this mother-in-law is full of feces, is it possible that I am the daughter of a well-known county family, and I still covet my sister-in-law's things? ”

Hearing her move out of her father, Mrs. Zhou glared at her mother-in-law and drank: "If you don't tell the truth again, the old man will send you to the government and let the old man of the yamen find out!" ”

Cheng Ming's words were convincing, "Old lady, if you don't believe it, go to the second room to have a look." Not to mention anything else, the bracelet on the embroidery hand is now the object in the eldest lady's library, and the slave and maid remember that this bracelet was bought by the uncle from afar and given to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady said that it was too fancy and inappropriate to let the slave and maid put it away. ”

Everyone's eyes focused on the maid named Weaving Embroidery behind Tian's family, Weaving Embroidery's face turned pale and pulled her sleeves tightly.

Tian's color changed, I didn't expect to be so coincidental today. She took too many things from the big house, and she could tell which ones belonged to the big house and which ones were her own, and when she rewarded people, she also rewarded them.

The expressions of their masters and servants are well known to everyone. Ye Shi rolled his eyes and scolded, "You wicked woman, don't blame good people." Is this bracelet the only one in the world? It can't be said that the weaver bought it himself. Where did you say this bracelet came from? ”

Weaving Xiu stood up from behind Tian with his head down and knelt on the ground, "This bracelet was picked up by the slave maid in the garden, and the slave maid asked around and didn't hear who lost the bracelet, so I left it myself." ”

Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the weaving and embroidery were clever, "You dead girl, how can you have such shallow eyelids!" ”

It is impossible for Mrs. Zhou to really search the things in the second room, even if what the Chengming family said is true, and the name is not engraved on the thing, as long as she bites to death and doesn't recognize who can say anything! Tian also had the confidence to think like this, straightened her waist, and looked up proudly to meet her husband's gloomy gaze, and she trembled in her heart.

Wang Mingli warned her not to let her touch her sister-in-law's things, and others can't check the things in the second room, but he can!

At this moment, Lan Yi's crisp voice sounded, "How can the second lady take the eldest lady's things, she has a lot of good things in her hands." A few days ago, I went to Mifu to meet Mrs. Mi, there was a calligraphy and painting hanging in Mrs. Mi's house, Mrs. said that it was Li Taibai's authentic handiwork, or the second lady in our house knew that she liked calligraphy and painting and sent it in person. ”

Tian's face changed again, she took the calligraphy and paintings from her sister-in-law Curry to Mrs. Mi, and wanted to use her relationship to win the peony seed oil business in Meixian County. How do you know that Mrs. Mi's calligraphy and painting are accepted, but the business has not been relaxed, this matter she did to hide, where did she know that Mrs. Mi hung the calligraphy and painting in the reception room!

As soon as Wang Gezhi heard Li Taibai's calligraphy and painting, he immediately came to his senses, "Chun Tao, tell your uncle, what is the painting on it, and which poem is it mentioning?" ”

Tian retorted: "I don't know a few big characters in Chuntao, how can I recognize calligraphy and painting?" ”

Lan Yi smiled, "I don't know a few big characters, but I can still see the picture." The painting on the top is the high mountain and wide river, there are a few cold pines on the mountain covered with snow, there is a lonely boat on the river, the poet fairy Taibai stands on the boat with his back hand, looking up at the high mountain. Mrs. Shimi above said that it was one of Taibai's "Difficult to Walk", and Mrs. Mi read it quite well, and I only wrote down the last two sentences: "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea." The rest only sounds good, but I can't remember it. Uncle, are there any such two sentences? ”

Lan Yi just recognized her relatives, but the uncle's call was very smooth, and Tian twitched the corners of his mouth and was about to refute. Wang Gezhi stroked his beard and said, "Yes, Li Twelve's "Difficult to Walk" is three songs, and the first song is the most famous: 'The golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is ten thousand dollars. I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around. If you want to cross the Yellow River and ice congestion river, you will climb the snow-filled mountains of Taihang. Idle fishing on the blue river, suddenly take a boat to dream of the sun. It's hard to walk! It's hard to walk! Many divergent roads, where are you now? There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. After Mingzhe bought this authentic painting, the old man pulled down his old face and begged, he refused to even let me touch it, but I didn't expect it to be hung on the wall of Mixian Cheng's house now, sorry, sorry! However, the old man heard that Mrs. Mi is also a strange woman who is good at calligraphy and painting, and it is not a waste to paint in her. ”

Wu looked at her husband shaking his head and nodding his head, sighing and glaring at him hatefully. When it comes to beauty calligraphy and painting, he looks like this!

Everyone still didn't understand what they heard, this was obviously Tian took the calligraphy and paintings from the Duopingtang library and gave them away! Everyone looked at her with disdain.

Cold sweat broke out on Tian's forehead, and he was still quibbling meaninglessly: "That calligraphy and painting was originally given to me by my mother, and my father also cherished the calligraphy and painting of the previous dynasty, and there are many calligraphy and paintings in Taibai." ”

When it comes to calligraphy and painting, Wang Gezhi can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, he frowned and said earnestly: "The second family's Taibai calligraphy and painting are not many authentic works, but there are many fakes copied by later generations. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law know the authenticity, and Mrs. Mi is also a master, since she is willing to hang this painting in the reception room, there is no doubt that it is genuine. I remember that after Ming Zhe took this "Difficult to Walk", he buckled his private seal in the lower left corner of the painting, if you don't believe it, go to Mrs. Mi to see it. ”R1152
