At dinner, Gu Yunyao told a few children about the situation.

Lu Damin said angrily: "Mother, let Old Man Wu figure out a way, who let his daughter steal the book." ”

Lu Xiaohua pouted angrily, "Mother, their mother and daughter are here to harm people." By the way, I should ask Old Man Wu for money, his wife and daughter's clothes, food, and accommodation......"

Only Lu Dajun didn't say anything, and his gloomy face was obviously unhappy.

Gu Yunyao said solemnly: "Damin Xiaohua, don't talk about people's shortcomings, aren't you wrong?" Knowing that their mother and daughter are not good things, they don't know how to keep those books? The two of you can't leave one of you in the house, and you still have a face to say. Besides, catching thieves and stolen goods, have you caught anyone? ”

Lu Damin and Lu Xiaohua suddenly became honest.

Gu Yunyao continued to beat, "Old man Wu is about to leave the cowshed." He is good and knows the importance of things. Knowing that he has no money, is it worth it for us to aggressively ask people for this small amount of money? ”

Lu Xiaohua quickly thought of something and said, "Mother, do you mean it's useful to keep this favor?" ”

Gu Yunyao praised with satisfaction: "It's still my daughter's flexible mind. ”

Lu Damin touched his nose in embarrassment, his mother always beat himself like this, as if he was really impulsive just now.

Gu Yunyao continued: "You must learn a lesson, when there are outsiders at home, the books must be put away, so as not to be led by others." Tomorrow I will go to the town and county to look for it, and if I can't do it, I will go to the province. You take care of yourselves at home. During the day, the door must be plugged in, and irrelevant people should not be allowed in, and whoever loses the book will be responsible in the future. ”

Lu Dajun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said: "Mother, why don't I write a letter to my comrades-in-arms and ask them to help find them?" ”

Gu Yunyao shook her head and said, "Don't use it first, my mother will look for it first, maybe I'll find it if I'm lucky." ”

She quickly thought that when she went to the scrapyard to find a book, if she was lucky, she could meet some unexpected treasures.

The next day, she was the first to come to the town with a sense of anticipation, first went to the Xinhua Bookstore to have a look, and quickly walked out disappointed.

When I came to the scrap yard in the town, I found that it was clean and clean, and I felt even more lost.

The old janitor looked her up and down and said, "Girl, what are you?" ”

Gu Yunyao glanced at her clean clothes, which really didn't match this occasion.

She smiled dryly and explained, "Uncle, I came to the town to visit relatives, and I want to come here to find a few pieces of clean cardboard to wrap the children's book covers, but forget it." ”

When the old janitor heard that this beautiful woman had come for the sake of the child, his scrutinizing gaze suddenly changed, and his face became much gentler.

"Big sister, if you ask if there is anything else, I put away some clean cardboard, and I also want to wrap the book jacket for the children at home."

Gu Yunyao was overjoyed in her heart, could it be that she was lucky enough to pick up a leak again?

She asked politely, "Uncle, can you let me take a look?" If it works, do I pay for it? ”

The old janitor waited for her to say this, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you can come in and have a look." ”

A few minutes later, Gu Yunyao saw the old man take out more than a dozen ancient painting scrolls from behind the cabinet in the duty room.

She cautiously opened it and saw that it was the ink paintings of the great Ming Dynasty painters Shen Zhou and Zhou Chen, as well as two characters by the calligraphy master Huang Tingjian.

What is it?

It turned out to be Tang Yin, a layman of Liuru, that is, Tang Bohu's lady.

Now is not the era when fakes are flying all over the sky, although she doesn't know how to paint, looking at this antique charm is 100% genuine.

She suppressed her beating little heart, and said calmly on the surface: "Uncle, I have a lot of children, can I give me these paintings?" I pay five dollars? ”

The old janitor put away these paintings, just to exchange them for a small amount of money in private.

Just now, he saw that Gu Yunyao was dressed like a rich person to talk, but he didn't expect that she had the things she was looking for.

He calculated in his heart that if this woman contributed less money, he would leave it for his children to wrap the book covers.

Unexpectedly, the other party paid five yuan, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

The wrinkles on his face suddenly increased a lot, and he said with a very good attitude: "Okay, you can take it." Don't tell anyone about this. In the future, if you want to find a paper for your child to wrap the book cover, just come to me, and I will leave some more drawings when I have the chance. ”

Gu Yunyao was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately took out five yuan and respectfully handed it over.

"Uncle, thank you."

Then, she wrapped the dozen or so scrolls in newspaper and walked out briskly.

In my heart, these ancient paintings are priceless treasures, and I have made a fortune again.
