"Father, how about the paper when you look at the previous one?" Yu Wanniang smiled slightly, and her slender white fingers pointed at the paintings that had been certified.

Yu Ruiwen bent down and touched it carefully.

"Father, touch this painting again." Seeing Yu Ruiwen's silent evaluation, Yu Wanniang said again, Yu Ruiwen put down this one, touched it in front of another one, and then went back to the previous work and touched it again, and her brows slowly wrinkled.

"Father, do you think something is different?"

"It's a little different." Yu Ruiwen returned to the previous painting and carefully touched the Kia again.

Yu Xijiao smiled: "Father, compared with the previous paintings, this one feels relatively better, right?" ”

"Yes, there are some differences, but not much." Yu Ruiwen straightened up and said.

"Since the difference is not big, why did the third sister deliberately mention it?" Yu Yuxi said disapprerovingly.

"The difference is not big, but the price is much worse, the history of the old Zhang lived in Shu, and later it was even more worrying about food and clothing, life is so difficult, naturally will not choose from the capital thousands of miles to send over the high price of the Xuan, but only choose the self-produced Shengxuan, Shu Zhizhi said that although the original Shengxuan of Shu is not as good as the Shengxuan of the capital, but it is already good."

Yu Xijiao said unhurriedly.

"So what? There may be friends passing by and sending Yu Zhang Lao some life announcements. Yu Yuxi asked rhetorically, "Some of Elder Zhang's friends are from the capital. ”

Yu Ruiwen nodded slowly.

"Father, of course it's not just here, it's here, you see." Yu Xijiao stretched out her finger and pointed to the payment of the two paintings.

Yu Yuxi also came over, and after seeing the payment on it clearly, he didn't intervene directly, and looked at Yu Ruiwen first.

"Father thinks these two are exactly the same?" Yu Xijiao said.

Yu Ruiwen was stunned, he had seen this place many times, and he did feel that the payment was the same, but now after hearing Yu Xijiao say this, after looking carefully left and right, he said affirmatively after thinking about it: "It is exactly the same, and the tone of the words is the same." ”

"Since my father likes Zhang Lao's paintings so much, he should be very clear about Zhang Lao's experience, right?" Yu Xijiao was not in a hurry to talk about the paintings, and asked about this old Zhang.

"The Father does look at this detailed record of his life."

"Then my father must have known that after he arrived in Shudi, he also wanted to do a career, but he didn't succeed, and then he was involved in some things, and even offended the local Shu bureaucrats?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.

"I know, Zhang Lao and his official career are really ...... I don't know what to say, offended the local officials, and was involved in a case, and then the case, although finally released, but also suffered a lot in prison, and was once tortured, almost ruined Zhang Lao's hand, the matter was later mentioned in Zhang Lao's autobiography, three months later, his hand can paint again, but it is still not complete. ”

Yu Ruiwen said with emotion.

Execution is often a torture inflicted on female prisoners, a punishment that clamps the prisoner's fingers, and should not have been used on this Zhang Lao's body, and he was only involved at that time, and he did not need to be punished, but someone secretly moved his hands and feet, and someone in the cell tortured him.

Fortunately, there was a big official in Shu at that time who liked Zhang Lao, and he stretched out his hand, which saved a pair of Zhang Lao's paintings.

"The time when my father looked at this painting should be three months after the incident, this painting is also known to everyone, it is the first painting after Zhang Lao's criminal offense, Zhang Lao himself later said that when he painted this painting, his hands were not complete, especially when he wrote, he was slightly worse than the bones, and the writing was far worse than before. Father, how can this signature be exactly the same? ”

Yu Xijiao said slowly.

As she spoke, the room fell silent, and all three of them pondered.

The incense burner in the window, with light smoke, makes people calm down.

The signature is indeed the same, it looks like it is true, but Yu Ruiwen really likes the works of this old Zhang, and knows his life well, after tasting it carefully, he nodded: "Indeed, this word cannot be exactly the same, otherwise there will not be half a year later, the word will be the same." ”

Time and this history are matched, Yu Ruiwen slapped the table: "This painting is actually fake, and it is true that he lied to me, I will go to him now." ”

"Who is Father going to?" Seeing him so annoyed, Yu Wanniang asked with a smile.

"It's Yang Shanhou, who actually told me that it must be true, and it cost me a lot of money." Yu Ruiwen said angrily, and reached out to roll the painting.

The Marquis of Yangshan is the emperor's important courtier, and among the many nobles, he is one of the few courtiers who has a title and is valued by the emperor, and Yu Ruiwen, an idle imperial relative, is not the same.

"Father, I bought this painting and bought it, and my father must have agreed to it at that time, but now if I go to make trouble, it won't look good." Yu Xijiao comforted Yu Ruiwen and said.

"Father, if it's fake, it's a fake next time, next time you have a heart, if you go to Yangshanhou like this, it will inevitably make people laugh." Yu Wanxi also opened her mouth to persuade.

"Although I thought it was true, if it wasn't for his repeated statement that it was true, and if he hadn't repeatedly said that he wanted to buy it, I wouldn't have spent that much money." Although he received the gentle words of his two daughters, Yu Ruiwen still became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and stomped his foot hard, "I just said how he was so good to me at that time, he wouldn't be so affectionate on weekdays." ”

The more I think about it, the more suspicious things are, in the past, when I met twice, the most I could do was to say hello, and sometimes I didn't even say hello, so I didn't see it.

"Father, you said it yourself, this matter is your own will, it's useless to complain now, you need to be careful next time." Yu Yuxi persuaded.

Yu Ruiwen sat down heavily on the chair, he also knew what the two daughters said, but he couldn't swallow this breath, if it wasn't for Yang Shanhou who provoked the trouble at that time, how could he buy a fake one at a high price, this breath is really unbearable the more I think about it.

"Father, if you want to get angry, there is a way." Yu Xijiao's eyes rolled.

"What's the best way to do that?" Yu Ruiwen's body sat up straight.

Yu Yuxi snorted coldly, and looked over, a little girl from the countryside, really thinks she has the ability to face the favored courtiers? I really don't know how thick the sky is!

"My father was looking at the painting with Yang Shanhou at that time, and at that time, Yang Shanhou and his father kept grabbing this painting, so the price was raised?" Yu Xijiao chuckled.

"Yes, if it weren't for Yang Shanhou, how could I spend such a high price." Yu Ruiwen didn't feel sorry for the money before, but after knowing that it was fake, the more he thought about it, the more distressed he felt, and the price was several times higher than before.

"Since Yangshanhou also likes this painting, and he deliberately competes with his father, why doesn't his father send the painting to Yangshanhou's mansion now, and give it to Yangshanhou, doesn't the gentleman win people's love." Yu Xijiao's eyes raised slightly, and she chuckled.

"He cost me so much money, why should I send him it? It's good that I didn't hit the door of his house. Yu Ruiwen said angrily.

"What my father said is that the third sister probably doesn't know about Yangshan Hou Qiqi, and it was the third sister who only came to the capital, and she is not very familiar with some powerful people in the capital." Yu Yuxi said.

These words are a mockery of Yu Xijiao.

Yu Xijiao pretended not to hear it, and suddenly lowered her head to Yu Ruiwen's ear and whispered a few words.

After finishing speaking, Yu Ruiwen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, looked at the little daughter and reached out and tapped her forehead: "Your little girl is quite similar to me when I was young, if this thing is done, I will give you a big gift for my father." ”

Although Yu Yuxi tried hard to hear clearly, he was helpless and inconvenient to lean over to listen, his voice was really lower, and he said it quickly, and when he wanted to listen carefully, the words had already been finished, and he only heard Yu Ruiwen's laughter.

"There's no need for any big gifts, my daughter just wants to go to the Marquis Mansion to have a look." Yu Xijiao covered her forehead, took a step back, and said coquettishly.

"What are you going to see in the Yuanhou Mansion?"

"My daughter just wants to give Lanxuan County a few more incense." Yu Xijiao said.

"You kid ......" The smile on Yu Ruiwen's face gradually receded, and he looked at Yu Yuxi on the side and said, "Xi'er will go back first, I have something to say to your third sister." ”

This is the meaning of not wanting Yu Yuxi to hear it, Yu Yuxi is full of reluctance, she still has something to say here, and now she is interrupted by Yu Xijiao, but it is inconvenient to say it in front of Yu Xijiao, so she can only retreat temporarily.

When he retreated to the door, his originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy,

"Girl, shall we go back first?" Yahuan said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, wait!" Yu Yuxi looked back at the study, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and then turned into a fierce color, only his father had always talked to him, and he didn't let people disturb him, but now he actually let himself withdraw first, standing in the corridor outside the study, Yu Yuxi's face was cold.

In the study, Yu Ruiwen's brows furrowed, and he stretched out his hand and shook it: "Jiao'er, the matter of Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is over. ”

"Father, why? Lan Xuan County Jun is his daughter's benefactor, and his great kindness cannot be repaid, so he has to send his own heart. Yu Xijiao said.

"You're really just here for three incense?" Yu Ruiwen frowned and stared at her for a while.

"If you find ......," Yu Xijiao hesitated.

"Found what? Found out that there is a problem with the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion? Yu Ruiwen stretched out his hand and pointed at her angrily, "You are the daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping, and you have nothing to do with the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, at most you are the daughter of the same clan, how can you meddle in this matter again and again, besides, you are still an unmarried daughter, this is spreading...... It's good to say in the future. ”

How important is the reputation of her daughter's family, Yu Ruiwen doesn't want her daughter to reach out and take care of the affairs of the Marquis Mansion, and finally spread the reputation crookedly.

"Before I was on the street...... The few words you say are unseemly, you are just a boudoir daughter. Yu Ruiwen was afraid that Yu Xijiao wouldn't understand, so he deliberately said it more clearly, "In that case, even if what you say is right, you shouldn't say it, and in the future, our mansion and the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion will have to stay away." ”

Yu Ruiwen was originally going to say this to his little daughter when he came back, but later when he saw that she didn't take any action, he faded down, and now that the old thing is brought up again, Yu Ruiwen can't help but mention a few words about his daughter.

"Father, I know, but ...... I'm afraid I'm not far from it now. Yu Xijiao smiled bitterly.
