Chapter 585 Confirming the identity of the person in the painting
Peng Jiaren's hands shook and she turned around suddenly. The paper tube at the bottom of the scroll hung on the corner of the table and was torn violently.
Mrs. Shangshu behind her was stunned: "Jia'er, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Shangshu quickly took two steps forward to look at the pile of scrolls on the ground: "Oh, you child, how can you dig out these paintings? Amitabha, Amitabha!"
She picked up the scroll on the ground and glanced at the one in Peng Jiaren's hand: "Tsk, sin, sin, Jia'er, what are you thinking? Why did you turn out the portrait of the legitimate daughter of Duke Xuan?"
"Mother didn't ask you to remember this. This person has been dead for decades..."
Peng Jiaren came back to her senses, suddenly threw away the scroll, and threw herself into the arms of Madam Shangshu: "Mother, I'm afraid!"
Mrs. Shangshu was stunned for a moment: "Afraid? I'm afraid you'd come to see these things again!"
Peng Jiaren held her arm tightly: "No, I saw her, I saw her!"
Mrs. Shangshu: "???"
Peng Jiaren trembled: "Mother, my daughter seems to have seen the legitimate daughter of Duke Xuan!"
Mrs. Shangshu's shoulders suddenly relaxed: "What are you talking nonsense about?"
If she saw the dead maid in the mansion, she would still be a little scared, but what is the connection between the legitimate daughter of Duke Xuan and her?
I had only met him at a few banquets back then, and we had no personal connections.
"Okay, okay, Jia'er, don't be afraid first. Tell your mother where you saw the person in the portrait? Also, my mother didn't ask you to remember these portraits. How can you recognize them when you see them?
Right? You must be dazzled..."
But I heard Peng Jiaren say: "The day before yesterday, my daughter saw Princess Sang at the door of Shuiqin Pavilion. She, she, she was very similar to the woman in this portrait!"
"Mom, do you still remember that you hung these portraits behind the Buddhist hall a few years ago when the attic was not being repaired? I saw it when my daughter came in to look for you when she was a child, and she also saw it later when she sneaked in to play..."
"My daughter has always felt that she has seen her in the past two days. I searched through the portraits in the house and found you..."
Mrs. Shangshu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Jia'er, are you saying that the Princess Sang you saw looks like this?"
Peng Jiaren nodded: "Yes, my daughter saw her in person and said a few words to her. If you don't believe me, can mother find an excuse to go to the Regent's Palace to see her?"
Fortunately, it was clear sky and daylight when she saw San Yi, otherwise she might have been scared out of her mind by now.
Mrs. Shangshu calmed down and said, "Jia'er, please don't worry. When my mother specially asked a painter to make rubbings of the portraits of the female family members of the imperial capital, these women must not have died, otherwise their paintings would not be kept, so this painting is at least
It has been more than ten years. Even if the person in the painting is not dead, he must have changed a lot. How can I let you recognize him?"
Peng Jiaren's eyes widened: "Don't mothers still believe what their daughter says? She really hasn't changed much. She is very similar to the woman in the portrait, very much!"
As he spoke, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Mrs. Shangshu quickly comforted her: "Okay, okay, mother believes in you. I believe you, right?"
"However, if this matter is true, there must be a huge secret!"
"To be on the safe side, mother thinks that Jia'er should find a reason to go to the Duke of Xuan's Mansion first to confirm whether the person in the painting is really the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Xuan. After all, her mother found her more than ten years ago.
The painter made too many rubbings of women's portraits, maybe he got the wrong person?"
