Delicate Flower Chapter 46: Print
The sun was setting at this time. Red clouds spread at the end of the sky like fire, dyeing half of the study room red.
Yu Tang clutched the scroll tightly.
The map copied by Master Qian is half spread out on the desk and half suspended in the air.
Yu Wen was startled by Yu Tang's sharp voice and walked over quickly, saying "What's wrong?"
Yu Tang's face turned pale, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He pointed at the map tremblingly and said: "Look, look, Chunshuitang!"
Yu Wen didn’t understand what it meant. He walked over and looked carefully, but saw nothing.
Yu Tang hurriedly put the scroll into his father's hand and said: "Look from here, facing the sunset, on the top of the mountain, there is a seal with the words Chun Shui Tang printed on it."
Yu Wen took the painting scroll from his daughter's hand and looked at it from the angle that Yu Tang had used to look at the painting. Sure enough, he saw the words "Chun Shui Tang" engraved with Qin Li in the dimly shining glow. seal.
He frowned and first called A Tiao to come in and asked him to call Yu Yuan who was helping Yu Bo repair the shop. Then he closed the door solemnly and whispered to Yu Tang: "Don't panic. This is a common trick used by those craftsmen - to make fake works, but still arrogantly want to leave their name in history, and print their own seals in places that are not easy for ordinary people to find, so that people can accidentally discover this or a hundred years later. He made the things."
If Yu Wen admired Master Qian so much before, how much he annoys him now.
"I wonder what other flaws he has left besides this seal? In addition to being visible at sunset, under what circumstances can this seal be seen?" Yu Wen looked very unhappy, "Wait a minute. It's coming from afar, the three of us will look carefully."
Yu Tang nodded wildly, his heart already in a mess.
She did not admit her mistake. The "Spring Water Hall" was exactly the same as the "Picture of Fishing in Songxi" printed in her hand in the previous life.
After her parents passed away, the Li family came to propose marriage and promised to help their family revive their family business. She came out of the cabinet holding Li Jun's memorial tablet. The Li family disliked that her dowry was too small, so they specially created a remote and quiet place for her to put her dowry, and then , Li's house was robbed, and only some insignificant things were lost. Lin didn't even go to the government to report the case...
All of these are like scattered beads, all strung together by the seal of "Chun Shui Tang".
Yu Tang seemed to understand everything all at once, but at the same time he seemed to understand nothing.
Her mind was in a blur, her legs were weak, she could no longer stand, and fell down on the Taishi chair behind her.
Yu Wen looked at it and said: "Ah Tang, don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if the victim doesn't see the flaw in this kind of thing. If he does, we can ask Master Qian to pay for the money, and we can also ask him to give us a new one. Painting. Fortunately, there is still some time left before your Uncle Lu’s Qiqi. At this time, it’s not too late for your brother to make a trip to Hangzhou.” As he spoke, he sighed with a wry smile and said, “Who knew that this would happen? I felt sorry for him before when he did this kind of thing. I’m afraid he has done a lot of this kind of thing."
The most important thing is that this incident in their family involves a life-and-death lawsuit. They still don’t know who is behind the scenes. If the other party’s methods are cruel, Master Qian may also suffer.
Yu Tang’s hair stood on end.
Master Qian!
The painting in her hands in the previous life was copied by Master Qian. In other words, someone came together with her and asked Master Qian to help copy a fake painting. They also used stolen paintings to change the painting. Dropped the real painting from her hand.
And Uncle Lu.
She simply blamed him wrongly.
What he sold to their family was the real painting he owned.
It's her.
What she had been holding and caressing for several years was a fake, but she regarded the fake as an authentic painting, and she self-righteously believed that the painting Uncle Lu sold to their family was a fake.
Yu Tang couldn’t stop blaming himself.
"Ah Tang, Ah Tang!" Yu Wen saw her guilty look and hurriedly stepped forward and patted his daughter on the shoulder, comforting him in a low voice, "This matter is not your fault. You can think of any solution. Okay. Dad has never seen a child smarter than you. If it weren’t for you, Dad would be kept in the dark right now. Dad will figure this out and everything will be fine."
The more his father said this, the more uncomfortable Yu Tang felt.
She sobbed softly, and then said after a while: "Dad, you are right, Uncle Lu is quite a good person. Although he cheated you, he also sincerely helped you. It was my fault in the past. He didn't immediately give up. Is it seven yet? I want to pay homage to him."
It's like trying to make amends to him, isn't it?
Yu Wen laughed and said, "What's wrong with you? Suddenly I said nice things to your Uncle Lu. If he knew about it, he would definitely be very happy."
Lu Xin is not stupid. The other people in the Yu family look down on him, and he knows it.
Yu Tang took out the handkerchief and wiped his face, nodding.
Yu Yuan rushed over panting, said hello to Yu Wen and Yu Tang, and called Mrs. Chen to pour him a cup of tea. He said to Yu Wen and Yu Tang: "I'm dying of thirst. That Pei Man, He talks a lot. After asking this and that, he is quite powerful. At least he is more powerful than the former chief executive. What he said is on point. In just one day, everyone looked at him differently. He The general manager is finally secure."
Yu Wen hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Yu Yuandao: "Pei Man, the chief manager of the Pei family, went to Changxing Street to see how the shop was being built. He also went door to door and asked those of us who were not the Pei family what materials were used in the shop and whether we had followed the previous rules of the Pei family. The agreed-upon style cover, how much open ditch is left, and whether there is an underground ditch... You think, once the fire breaks out, who dares not to leave a ditch? This time, the third master of the Pei family is compassionate and is willing to lend us money to rebuild the shop. , if something like this happens again next time, the Pei family will just let it go, and our family will have no other way to survive except selling the foundation."
Yu Wen smiled and said: "That's the right thing to ask! If our family is in trouble again, the Pei family's shop will also be implicated!"
The two talked about Changxing Street, but Yu Tang didn't listen to a word.
She thought about the Li family's sudden wealth.
It happened after the Li family was stolen.
After that, their family took advantage of Lin’s natal family connections to start a shipping business.
Then the map in the mezzanine of "Songxi Fishing Map", could it be a navigational chart?
After she married into the Li family, she would occasionally see the Lin family's children visiting the Li family. She still remembered that she once heard one of Lin's nephews boasting very proudly, saying that this maritime business is not something that anyone can do if they want to. It requires not only a ship, but also a capable and reliable helmsman and boatman. To know the way...that means you have to have a nautical chart.
And this navigation chart is a priceless treasure.
If nothing else, let’s just say that someone who wants to draw such a picture must not only be able to sail a boat, but also be able to identify the direction, know the laws of tidal changes, be literate, and understand the weather. For decades or even decades, Such a talent will not be produced for a hundred years. And even if there is such a talent, who wouldn't spend decades to get promoted and become a high official, but hang their heads on their belts and spend their whole lives drifting on the sea with no fame or fortune?
At this time, even if you are the emperor, you can only stare.
Those who know how to travel by sea have accumulated their lives and experience bit by bit over several generations, or even more than a dozen generations. If someone has such ability, it is like holding a cornucopia in their arms, waiting to lie on the mountain of gold and silver to eat well and drink spicy food.
Yu Tang still remembers that after Lin’s nephew made such a call, she never saw this person in the Li family again.
She thought it was because she was a widow and didn't see many outsiders, but now that she thought about it, it was clearly another matter that she didn't know about.
That map must be a navigational chart.
Behind this, it must be the Li family.
The more Yu Tang thought about it, the more she felt that the haze in the mountains and forests in front of her was blown away by the strong wind, revealing many features that she had not noticed at first.
This can also explain why Li Jun didn't know her but Lin lied.
It also explains why the Li family begged to marry her regardless of their appearance.
But at the same time, Yu Tang also felt panic that because the Li family also knew about Master Qian, their plan might be discovered by the Li family at any time.
She couldn't tell her father and brother about this panic yet.
Yu Tang walked back and forth in the study, like a trapped animal in a cage.
"A Tang!" Yu Wen first noticed something strange about his daughter. He shouted worriedly and said, "You made me dizzy when you walked away. Sit down and have a rest! I just told A Yuan Well, Ayuan will leave for Hangzhou early tomorrow morning. Don’t worry about Master Qian. Since he is in this industry, of course he knows the dangers of this industry. He should have been prepared for this kind of thing."
Yu Tang stopped, but could not stop the fear in his heart, and said: "Dad, many people have died for this painting. Although Master Qian often walks by the river, there must be times when his shoes get wet. We can't control what happens to him, but we can't lose our lives because of this incident in our family."
"I understand!" Yu Yuan's face gradually became serious as he listened, and he said, "I will tell him about this and see if he has any means to protect himself, or let him avoid the limelight temporarily."
Yu Tang has no better solution for the time being!
She rubbed her temples tiredly.
There is also the matter of the Li family, we have to find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Yu Tang now feels that he understands what the Li family does.
They use a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's heart. They felt that this map was so precious that no one who knew its value would let it go, so they secretly took action. They would rather cause some theft than buy the painting directly from their family.
However, there is a big difference between the past life and this life.
She also found out who was behind the scenes.
But how can the Li family guarantee that this painting will become her dowry like it did in her previous life?
In her previous life, both of her parents died, so she would definitely take the relics left by her parents with her. But in this life...
Thinking of this, Yu Tang stiffened.
She thought about her marriage to the Wei family.
No way? !
The Li family just wanted this painting, so would they still try to influence her marriage?
Yu Tang was thinking this, but a voice in his mind kept saying: If one person is already dead, will he care about killing another person?
Yu Tang had difficulty breathing and could no longer stay in this study.
She wants to know whether Wei Xiaoshan's death has anything to do with the Li family.
She wanted to see Wei Xiaochuan and ask him what happened before Wei Xiaoshan died.
She hoped that she was too paranoid and had random thoughts.
Yu Tang quickly walked out of the study.
"A Tang!" Yu Wen and Yu Yuan both shouted worriedly and chased after him.
The summer heat has ended, and the lush green osmanthus trees in the yard have exposed yellow petals among their oily green leaves. The evening breeze blows, and its fragrant fragrance wafts from time to time.
Yu Tang took a deep breath and turned around with a slight smile on his face: "I'm fine. I smelled the fragrance of flowers in the study, come out and take a look."
Yu Wen and Yu Yuan's expressions became relaxed.
Yu Yuan smiled and said: "You didn't even get to take a good stroll in Hangzhou. Do you want me to bring you something back?"
"It's good that brother comes back safely." After something like this happened, Yu Tang felt more and more that it would be better for the family to be together. She lowered her voice and said, "Brother, you must advise Master Qian not to be careless. If I guess this map correctly, it might be a navigational chart."
Yu Yuan was stunned.
Yu Wen even said hastily: "Did you find anything else?"
Yu Tang couldn't explain his guess, so he could only say: "When I went to buy things for hair flowers, I met someone selling imported goods. I seemed to have overheard this unintentionally. I didn't take it to heart at the time. At this time Suddenly I remembered that our map is very similar to those nautical charts."
Yu Wen and Yu Yuan didn't know how precious nautical charts were, but they knew how fierce the fight over the business on the sea was in Fujian. Murder and arson occur every few years, and there are several mass murders in Datian Ting.
Of the ordinary people involved in this, few can survive.
Both of them took a deep breath.
Yu Wen grabbed Yu Tang's hand and said, "You, do you really think this is a nautical chart?"
"I'm not entirely sure either." Yu Tang didn't dare to finish his sentence and said, "The more I think about it, the more it seems like it. What do you think Mr. Zuo did in the past? What did Uncle Lu's father do in the past?" Even if it’s a map, it’s not like the imperial court is going to hold you accountable. If you can’t find it, your house will be ransacked. Why do you insist on getting it so relentlessly?”
"Master Zuo fought against the Japanese in the past~IndoMTL.com~ Yu Wen murmured, "Brother Lu's father once served as Master Zuo's staff. Only a map that can produce huge wealth will be remembered by people. General maps are only used during wars. Even if it is a court official, it is useless to hold it in his hand! Brother Lu probably doesn’t know what’s going on in this painting. Is it because Brother Lu’s father doesn’t know either? Or even if his father knew about it, he, like us, didn’t know what to do and simply let it hide in the painting? ”
As Yu Yuan listened, his face turned earth-colored and he said uneasily: "Uncle, then, what should we do?"
In the past, I just thought that it would be good to throw this hot potato away, but now it is still unclear whether it can be thrown away.
Yu Wen also had no idea.
After all, Lu Xin’s father knew someone like Mr. Zuo. Could he, an ordinary country scholar, be any better than Lu Xin’s father?
This time it was Yu Wen spinning around in the yard.
Ms. Chen, who came to invite them to eat, couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it, and said: "What are you discussing now? You are so babbling, do you want to eat?"
