The shopkeeper was a talker, and with a smile on his face, he said, "I don't dare to be a compliment to my wife," and said with a smile: "Madame, I have heard that there has been a strange thing in this calligraphy and painting shop recently." ” "Oh?"
Jinghe pressed the ledger and said, "What is the strange thing, let's hear it." ” The shopkeeper was a newcomer, and he was trying to win the attention of the third aunt and grandmother, so he naturally followed Jinghe's words and said: "It is said that Uncle Sui, the young owner of Baicaotang, was infected with a lawsuit a few days ago, and it is related to this calligraphy and painting." ” "Oh?"
Jinghe heard him mention the Sui family, and she couldn't help but look up in surprise, but her kung fu was good, and this surprise was just a slight look up in the eyes of others.
Chu Qi heard the shopkeeper's mention of Sui Zifeng, and he sneered lightly.
If it had changed before, Jinghe would not have asked in front of Chu Qi, she would have to take into account Chu Qi's mood, but she couldn't care so much at this time, so she only asked again, "Does it have anything to do with calligraphy and painting?"
” "Exactly," the shopkeeper replied: "Speaking of which, it's really called flying disaster, I heard that the cause of the incident is the master of the Sui family's enlightenment, a Xiucai surnamed Jin, that Jin Xiucai lives in poverty, because the Sui family uncle remembers the old love, often helps the old Xiucai, and has more contacts."
Then Jin Xiucai's family has another unscrupulous son, Jin Xiucai's front feet are gone, that unscrupulous son said that there is a true trace of Tang Yin in the family is gone, only to the Sui family to ask for it, saying that 'his father is old and confused, that painting must have been deceived by the Sui family', who knew that the Sui family saw that he was rude, and ignored it, but drove people out, and the unscrupulous son went to Yingtianfu to start a lawsuit. ” Jinghe casually took the purple sand tea bowl on the table, gently blew the tea leaves suspended on the tea soup in the palm of his hand, and said: "The Sui family has been in Beijing for so many years, and they have already established themselves, and they have also met many people in the officialdom, and it is not a difficult lawsuit to handle. ” "Who's to say it isn't!"
The shopkeeper said: "But who knows that Jin Xiucai's son is also a fool, knowing that there is a Dong Ji antique shop in the capital, and the shopkeeper of the antique shop saw the painting, so he promised to give the painting to the shopkeeper of Dong Ji once the painting was recovered," The shopkeeper said this, paused, looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, and then said: "Do the grandfather and Mrs.
Guo know that the calligraphy and painting shop is the shopkeeper for whom they collected this painting?"
” Chu Qi's expression was not shocked, but he was quiet but curious, since the shopkeeper said so, the person behind Dong Ji Antique Store must not be an idle person, who is it?
Jinghe's gaze flashed from Chu Qi's face, the latter was also looking at herself, the pair of black spiritual eyes were flowing with hot heat, like a wandering hot spring, and like a scorching flame, Jinghe couldn't help beating quickly, she thought Chu Qi must know, and if she asked, Chu Qi would definitely tell herself, but she didn't want to open her mouth to him.
She turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Which powerful family is standing behind Dong Ji?"
” The shopkeeper was waiting for the 'treasure', and when he heard this, he hurriedly replied: "It's Prince Yu, there are many literati and ink writers in Prince Yu's mansion, and he often helps poor scholars, so naturally there must be a few business supports!"
” It turned out to be Yuwang!
Jinghe smiled and said: "There must be other reasons behind this, otherwise Prince Yu can't easily embarrass the Sui family." ” "Madame is really wise," the shopkeeper praised again and again: "It's just because Prince Yu is involved in it, that Ying Tianfu Yin doesn't dare to slack off, who knows that after two checks, he knows that Jin Xiucai's son is not wrong, and Tang Yin's true deeds were really found in the Sui family, madam, guess what?"
” Jinghe was also a little curious, she really found out in the Sui family, it was a combination of stolen goods, but she couldn't figure it out, who would do such a stupid thing.
"It's the grandmother of the Sui family, who has always felt that her husband funded Jin Xiucai, and Jin Xiucai should repay it, so she accepted the calligraphy and painting without telling her husband, and now something has happened, and the official career of the Sui family has been reformed, I heard that this son is still in prison," the shopkeeper said.
Jinghe couldn't help sighing, the Feng family looked quite honest, but she didn't expect to be so bold, she asked, "Then how is the Sui family now?"
” The shopkeeper replied: "It's also strange that the Sui family humiliated Jin Xiucai's son too harshly at that time, and refused to admit his guilt, until Jin Xiucai's son confessed to Sui's grandmother, the Sui family had nothing to say, and Jin Xiucai's son said that the leg he was discounted was beaten by the Sui family, and said that the Sui family uncle robbed him of his ancestral property, just because he had Yu Wang Ye behind him, and it was indeed a stolen person, Ying Tianfu Yin had no choice but to put the Sui family uncle in prison first, and there was no decision. ” Jinghe nodded, pressed the matter, and returned to the British Mansion with Chu Qi.
Who knew that she had just gotten out of the carriage, and then saw Basho come up and say, "Madam, the second wife is here, and she also brought the eldest wife of the Sui family, and she is now waiting in the flower hall outside." ” Mother is here with Sui Zifeng's!
Jing He heard about the Sui family from the calligraphy and painting shop, and it was naturally not difficult to guess the purpose of Mrs.
Sui's trip, but since it was brought by her mother, Mrs.
Sui has always been a reasonable person, and she always wants to see it, so she looked at Chu Qi.
Chu Qi didn't have any surprised look on his face, and only said, "Since my mother-in-law is here, I should always go to see me." ” Chu Qi also heard about the Sui family, he wouldn't have guessed the intention of the Sui family's wife's trip, but not only did he not dodge, but he also had to follow her to see the Sui family's wife, which was a little incomprehensible.
She said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo pays attention to filial piety, and the concubine knows it, but the eldest wife of the Sui family is also on the side, it is not good to meet with Grandpa Guo, but the concubine may as well go to meet Mrs.
Sui first, and then invite Grandpa Guo to drink tea after sending her away." ” Chu Qi didn't insist, nor did he look unhappy, he just nodded his head slightly, and took a deep look at Jinghe before turning to leave, raised his hand to straighten the hanging hairpin on her bun, and said softly in a doting tone: "Don't be too reckless, if there's anything you want me to do, just tell me." ” What does he mean by that?
I have made up my mind that I will beg him for the sake of the eldest wife of the Sui family?
Jinghe raised his eyebrows, and just said politely according to the etiquette: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for your care." ” Chu Qi went to the study in the outer courtyard, and Jinghe turned around and went to the flower hall in the west.
The eldest lady of the Sui family did not have the calmness and stability she used to have, and walked back and forth in the hall with small steps, while the Zhou family persuaded her: "Old sister-in-law, don't worry, I just asked someone to inquire, and the girl will come back in a while, she and Brother Feng grew up together, and will never sit idly by." ”
