"You still want to withdraw money?" The old lady exploded when she heard this! "What does he think of his family? Does he have gold and silver? He also buys ancient paintings. The ancients are also the ancients of my Dashun. What can a Qianzhou person understand?
"She shouted while looking at the old gentleman standing next to He Zhong and said: "We don't want the painting anymore, you go back!"
The old gentleman said awkwardly: "But Mr. Feng has already taken away the painting!"
"Then I'll give it back to you!"
The old gentleman thought for a while, then sighed and said: "That's okay, then ask the old lady to return the ancient painting, and I will go back after taking the painting!"
The old lady pointed at the room: "See for yourself! Which one of your ancient paintings is it?"
Then Xiankan looked around the room and shook his head helplessly, "It doesn't belong to any of them."
At this time, everyone in the Feng family had already turned their attention to the fragments on the ground. The old lady was so angry that she didn't realize it, but they were aware of it. And the little girl who came in before finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said helplessly to
The old lady said: "The one you just tore into pieces is that ancient painting!"
"What did you say?" The old lady stared at a piece of shredded paper on the ground with wide eyes, feeling her head buzzing. "You said this is an ancient painting?"
The little girl nodded, "The master just sent someone back."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" The old lady got angry and swung out her scepter and hit the maid.
The little girl was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. At the same time, she also said: "I have said it! I have really said it!"
"Quia!" The old lady's heart trembled.
The old man from Qibaozhai also squatted down at this time, reached out to pick up the torn painting, picked up a few large pieces and carefully identified them, and then stood up and said to the old lady: "That's right.
This is exactly the ancient Qibao Zhai Zhendian painting that Master Feng spotted and sold, and the painter was Fan Zhongtian."
The old lady was uneducated and couldn't understand what the name Fan Zhongtian meant. But not everyone in the Feng family was uneducated, such as Feng Chenyu. Feng Jinyuan had trained her for many years in the name of Feng Ming, playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
It's not like he invited famous professors. How could she not have heard of the name Fan Zhongtian?
Then Chen Yu said in surprise: "But Fan Zhongtian, the master of painting four hundred years ago?"
The old man nodded, "Young lady is very discerning, that's right."
When the old lady heard the words four hundred years ago, her mind became even more confused. She only said that she didn't have a deep concept of ancient paintings. When she mentioned four hundred years ago, the first reaction in her mind was: Such an ancient painting,
How much is it worth?
"Four hundred years! I wonder how much money my father spent to buy this painting?" This question was asked by Feng Yuheng.
Just listen to the old gentleman answer: "The original price was 160,000 taels of silver, but since Mr. Zaifeng is the father of the young lady, we have underestimated the price by 40,000 taels, making a total of 120,000 taels. Your Excellency will take the painting back and order the old man to come."
Feng Mansion takes the money." As he said this, he took out a waist card and a note from his arms. Everyone recognized the waist card and it belonged to Feng Jinyuan. And the note was written by Feng Jinyuan.
The certificate I issued. Now, I can’t rely on it even if I want to.
The old lady regretted it too late, but the old man's words made her feel relieved again, and she quickly said to Feng Yuheng: "Fortunately, it's my own shop, otherwise it would really be a big joke."
Fendai said sourly: "No! The more than one hundred taels in the account can't even last a few days. How can we get 120,000."
But Feng Yuheng looked at the old lady with big puzzled eyes, full of doubts on her face: "Why did it become my own family's shop? Didn't grandma hear that someone else reported the name Qibao Zhai?"
The old lady was also confused, "Yes! It's Qibao Zhai."
"What does that have to do with the Feng family?"
Hearing her talk like this, the old lady was unhappy again, "Aheng, how many times does grandma have to tell you that you are the daughter of the Feng family, and your surname is Feng! And you are not married yet, so the shop in your hands counts.
There is no need to hand over the income to the public, but if something like this happens now, you can't just sit back and ignore it. What's more, the person who took the painting is your father, and your grandmother is the one who made the decision. This ancient painting should be regarded as yours and given to your father.
A congratulatory gift."
"Ha!" Feng Yuheng laughed immediately, and then she couldn't stop laughing, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
The old lady said angrily: "Stop laughing! This matter is settled!"
"Wait a minute!" Just when the old lady was about to get up, Feng Yuheng's laughter stopped abruptly, and her expression instantly turned gloomy. "Grandma, most elderly people are confused, Ah Heng doesn't
I'm arguing with you, but there is one thing I must remind you, Qibao Zhai belongs to my mother Yao's family, and has nothing to do with Ah Heng."
Mrs. An also followed and said, "Yes! Although the three shops outside are run by the second lady, they are actually the dowry given to Sister Yao by the Yao family."
The old lady was dumbfounded when she heard this. She had forgotten about this. Feng Yuheng had always been in charge of the shop. She naturally thought that the shop belonged to Feng Yuheng, but she did not expect that the land deed was in the name of the Yao family.
.
Feng Yuheng watched the old lady's expression change, and then spoke quietly: "My mother, Yao, took the imperial edict to reconcile with my father. She lives in the palace of a first-class official. How can I have the nerve to owe Heli a woman money?"
To take a step back, if a grown man marries a new wife, but has to go to his ex-wife’s shop to get it for free, do you think this behavior is worthy of praise? It will make him look good if word spreads about it."
These words not only made everyone feel ashamed, but also made them feel ashamed. Even Han and Fendai were ashamed. They all rolled their eyes and looked at the old lady. Fendai simply said: "Shame on you."
The old lady's face turned red and white, and if there was a crack in the ground, she wanted to get in. She cursed Feng Jinyuan secretly, saying that she really gave birth to a shameless son, and it was not good to go shopping there.
, if you want to run to Qibaozhai, isn't this a slap in your face?
"Sigh." Feng Yuheng squatted on the ground, reached out and picked up a few fragments, and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid there are not three paintings by Fan Zhongtian in the entire Dashun. I heard that the other two are in the palace.
, I didn’t expect this painting to end up like this.”
She stood up and winked at the old man without leaving any trace. The old man understood and immediately said to the old lady: "Please pay the money first, old lady. I had originally planned to go to the county lord's mansion after noon today."
Paying bills to the employer."
"Yeah!" Xiangrong interjected, "Can you report it a few days later? It would be so...so embarrassing if this matter spread to Mrs. Yao's ears!"
Anshi also sighed: "No. Back then, the master carried Mrs. Yao into Feng Mansion in eight sedans. We all know what happened later that led to He Li. If this matter spreads over there today,
, Do you want the Feng family’s face anymore? Old lady, please think twice!”
How could the old lady not understand this? If the shop belonged to Feng Yuheng, she would still have to pay for it even if she turned against him today, but it happened to be owned by the Yao family. This was different.
But no matter how anxious I am, there is no money in the account, and this painting is not a small amount, a total of 120,000 taels!
The old lady frowned, but the old gentleman asked He Zhong again: "Housekeeper, Mr. Feng said that you can get money when you get to the house. What's going on?"
He Zhong spread his hands, but there was nothing he could do.
Fendai was originally dissatisfied with the good things in this house, but then she rolled her eyes and suggested: "Grandma, why don't you sell the gold and jade in this house!"
When the old lady thought about it, this was a real thing! So she said to He Zhong: "I heard that the furniture in this house cost more than 400,000 taels. Ask someone to clean it up and sell it all."
Before He Zhong could agree, Jin Zhen, who had been frowning, opened her mouth: "When I was waiting for Mrs. Shen before, I heard her say that these things were valuable when they were bought.
, but if you take it out and sell it, I'm afraid you won't even get half of the money back. Unless it's an antique, the more you sell it, the more money you'll make."
"Can't even sell half of it?" The old lady felt distressed again, but if she didn't sell these, how would she get together the 120,000 taels?
There was silence in the room for a long time. Finally, the old lady's eyes lit up and she turned her gaze to Chen Yu. Shen Yu felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he had to take the initiative to say: "My granddaughter really can't get so many together, Xiaoku
Most of the things in it were sent to my grandmother a few days ago. There are also some small items, but they are just some jewelry from my daughter's house and are not worth much. As for the banknotes, they were all given to my grandmother!"
The old lady went to see Xiangrong and Fendai again, and Xiangrong said aggrievedly: "My granddaughter gave all the monthly money to her grandmother."
Fendai rolled her eyes: "My monthly records are all posted for Aunt Han to replenish her health."
Several people blocked the old lady's mouth. Seeing that she was looking at An's side again, An's took the initiative and said: "The shop under my name is just a small business, and some of the savings are reserved for the third lady's makeup.
It’s not good for a master to marry a wife...” It’s not good to ask for a daughter’s dowry, right?
The old lady was even more humiliated by what she said, and silently stopped talking.
Feng Yuheng felt it was funny and reminded her: "Didn't my grandma get a lot of gifts these days? I heard that some people even give them direct banknotes."
When she reminded her like this, everyone stared at the old lady. Fendaihu said in a jittery tone: "Why does grandma only ask us for money? But she is reluctant to pay for her own money?"
The old lady's face turned red, and she felt so painful in her heart! She had endured half a life and finally got through with it. Someone finally gave her gifts, but she had to sell them off before they were warm in her hands?
Aunt Zhao persuaded her in a low voice: "Let's put this aside for now. Once the matter reaches the Yao family, it will not end well! Think about it, old lady, Yao family is also a person with a high rank!
"
The old lady was really helpless. She gritted her teeth and said simply: "Go and take out those banknotes. They are not enough... pick out valuable items and add some more."
Facts have proved that the old lady really has a lot of cash registers these days. Putting them together one by one in the small box, she has as much as 50,000 taels, but it is still a long way from 120,000 taels.
The old lady held the 50,000 taels of silver notes in her hand and discussed with the gentleman, "Can I owe the rest first, and then I can send it to you later when I have enough money?"
The old man shook his head repeatedly, "Please forgive me, madam, Qibao Zhai will never give credit. What's more, after noon, we still have to report the debt to the employer. Or should I go and discuss with the employer and say that Feng Mansion owes it?"
"Absolutely not." An said hurriedly: "Old lady, your face is important!"
The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Mother Zhao, go get my personal money——"
