Chapter 21: On the Road 2 (into the den of thieves)
It is hard for Jiang Yi to remember this second girl Xie.
First, there was the feat of Xinglin as a young master, and then there was a copy of the paintings of Mr. Lan Jin. At this time, he pretended to be a disciple of Mr. Lan Jin. The woman in the boudoir dared to do something like this and was really brave.
Manager Wang, who was beside him, lowered his head, and his expression changed drastically.
Could this Miss Xie be the two ladies of the Xie family in Jinling?
My goodness is so courageous.
Manager Wang is also Gu Yuan's right-hand man, managing Gu Yuan's private property. Hongyi Pavilion is where Gu Yuan handles private affairs on weekdays. With his identity as Manager Wang, he naturally knows his master. People don't know who Lan Jin is, but they know that his master's name is Lan Jin and is good at painting. He has written several paintings and signed by Lan Jin. Only these confidants know the truth.
"Is the Gala dead?" Gu Yuan's eyes moved away from the rosary, and when he whipped the Taoist robe, he had already got off the soft couch and moved to the east room a few steps. His slender and fair hand moved slightly, and the rear window of the middle hall was pushed open!
The back window faced a small alley. The alley was quiet and deserted. There was only an old cat lying on the bluestone ground basking in the sun. His voice was a little colder than the surroundings. "Isn't it dead in a corner."
At this time, the words of the master and servant on the first floor were faintly heard. Standing on the second floor, I couldn't see anyone. Thinking about the arrogant manner in the apricot forest, Gu Yuan could think of how big the smile on that bright face was.
"......Naturally, in front of outsiders, how can you sell money by using high imitation and fake paintings? However, if you encounter an emergency, you have to use extraordinary means. Then high imitation and fake paintings are bad things and become good things. Everything is like this. The sharp ones avoid the edge of the edge, and the weak are blocking the weak. Doing bad things is not necessarily a bad thing, and sometimes it is to save people."
"I really don't understand."
"For example, for example, robbing money may not necessarily be a bad thing. It depends on who is robbing the corrupt officials, and their money is also obtained by plundering the people. Then robbing their money and using the money to do good deeds is not a bad thing." Xie Yuanniang said very well!
Upstairs, Gu Yuan said indifferently, "...it's a bit of a fallacy."
He returned to the east side, lifted up his robe and sat back on the couch.
Jiang Yi went up to ask softly, "Master, do you want to go and arrange some things?"
He pretended to be his master's name and was cheating on the outside, and he even knew the secret of Hongyi Pavilion. Who knows if the master's opponent sent him to inquire about the truth and truth!
"It's just a small thing done by women in the boudoir. Don't take it seriously. Who sent it to him? Naturally, he will lead the snake out of the hole." Gu Yuan twisted the beads, "You go and hand Wang Yun a message. The treasury is empty. The emperor is furious for the Ministry of Personnel to not be able to get the silver to repair the river embankment. He gave an ultimatum. If the Jiangnan River embankment breaks again this year, the Ministry of Personnel's Work Department will not be dismissed like one person or two. I heard that there are thieves in Jiangnan, even the Governor of the Heyun Governor's Office dares to target. Three years of Qing Dynasty prefect, 100,000 snowflakes. Governor of Heyun Xu Hou is the disciple of the Chief Minister Zhao, and told them not to let the Governor's Office be robbed. Tell Wang Yun that I only know about this matter. If it is leaked, even if I come forward, I will not be able to protect him."
Jiang Yi hurriedly said, "Yes."
He was respectfully retreating without waiting, and then he heard the master casually ordering Manager Wang, "Take the piece of orange-yellow yellow Tianhuang I got before the New Year to Xie Er."
Jiang Yi paused for a moment, walked through the back door without looking back, and there was still Manager Wang behind him.
Xie Yuanniang downstairs looked at Tian Huang in her hand.
Tianhuang, also known as Tianhuang, has four colors: yellow, white, red and black. The texture is like the tree heart pattern, the denser the more you go in. The surface pattern has spots similar to toad skin, and the inner pattern is like shredded radish or orange-berry flesh pattern. Among them, orange-skin yellow is the most expensive.
The Tianhuangyu in his hand is the best among the top and the most precious Tiankeng among Shoushan Stones. Xie Yuanniang knew that Gu Tingzhi could say that the good things would not be bad, but she did not expect that she would encounter such a hard-to-find Tianhuang today.
"Shopkeeper, I wonder how much money this piece of Tianhuang costs?" Xie Yuanniang also looked quite solemn.
Naturally, precious things will not be cheap. Unfortunately, the Xie family has no foundation, but ordinary children have discovered it. Xie's second-rank official position has only one hundred and fifty dollars a year. He has been vacant in recent years, and there are no one who gives him gifts. If it weren't for the Kong family's marriage, the Xie family would be like what outsiders said, and they would have to be used as a gift for the New Year.
This top-quality Tianhuang cannot be bought without a thousand taels of silver.
Xie Yuanniang felt so painful when she thought about it. All her private rooms were only twenty or thirty taels together.
When I saw the good thing, I was reluctant to let go. At this time, I realized how important money is. At the same time, my mind was even changed and I had already made plans to continue selling high-quality imitation and fake paintings like I did in my previous life.
Manager Wang took a step forward and pointed at Tian Huang with his hand. "Miss, please take a closer look. Although this Shoushan stone is Tian Huang, it has flaws. The surface pattern has spots similar to toad skin, and it is not like the inner pattern, like shredded radish or orange-berry pulp. If the girl hadn't come to the shop to ask for Tian Huang, and there was no other Tian Huang in the store for a while, she wouldn't have given the flaws to the girl. I just don't know if the girl would care about this flaw."
The other party didn't know that the top-grade Tian Huang was like this.
Xie Yuanniang's eyes were a little bigger, and she was beating her heart, "I'm just a free time in the boudoir and carved seals to pass the time, but I just used it to practice. It's okay if there are some flaws."
It's just for practicing.
Still the best Tian Huang.
What a big tone.
Manager Wang is over forty years old, and he has seen countless jade and antiques. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is keen eyes and golden eyes. If it weren't for the explanation from his master, how could he catch a donkey and ride it as a horse and pretend not to know the goods?
The girl from the Xie family didn't know where the master was attracted to her, so she could even let her give Tian Huang, who had been looking for for a long time.
The feeling of pain was that the manager Wang's expression remained unchanged, "Although there were flaws, it was Tian Huang. The girl met this piece of Tian Huang today, so she was destined to be with this piece of Tian Huang. Twenty taels of silver could not be reduced."
"Transaction." Xie Yuanniang held Tian Huang tightly, and her heart fell back when she was in her throat. "But today I didn't bring any cash in my body. The shopkeeper asked me to go to the East Street to pick up the first door of Xie's house in the East. At that time, I will only say that someone from Hongyi Pavilion will give you the money."
"It turns out that the girl is Jing Cheng's two-year-old girl, and she is disrespectful." Manager Wang pretended to recognize her before he recognized her and bowed respectfully.
Xie Yuanniang didn't want the other party to be impressed by her. Today she picked up a big advantage, for fear that the other party would regret it, "Let's do this, I'll go back now and send someone to send the money."
If you clear the money and goods, it will be too late to find out that you sold the wrong one in the future.
What was Xie Yuanniang's idea? Manager Wang knew naturally. With only the master's explanation, he also cooperated. "This is so troublesome. I'll send someone to Xie's house with Miss Xie."
Send someone?
There is only one shopkeeper in the shop, who will I send?
The master and servant were puzzled, and the screen had already been released by the shopkeeper Wang. When he came back, a boy in a green robe followed him, holding a circle and bowing his head with his head down.
