Xue Baochai chuckled lightly. What he said was really meaningful. Should he call Baoyu here or not?

After leaving the Cuicui Temple, Shi Xiangyun said: "Those tea utensils do have their origins. But who is still holding a bowl that was used by famous people eight hundred years ago to eat? It's nothing more than that. How can it be more elegant than others?"

"

Xue Baochai nodded and Shi Xiangyun said: "These words are too harsh."

Let’s not talk about the liveliness of the Jia family, just that Lin Yutong took the three paintings that the shopkeeper took back with 800 taels of silver and carefully appreciated them. To be honest, I really don’t understand these appreciations.

The shopkeeper said excitedly: "This is really a good deal. These are the works of famous artists in the previous dynasty, and you can't even buy them for three thousand taels of silver. Now they only cost a few hundred taels of silver."

"This is a business that earned more than two thousand taels of silver." Lin Yutong said with a smile.

"There are only 2,000 taels of silver. One painting costs 3,000 taels. Three paintings cost 9,000 taels. These three paintings are sold at the same time, and the price can still rise. Because these happen to be the works of this painter in different periods, and they are extremely valuable.

Representative." The shopkeeper said with spittle flying around.

"Ah!" Lin Yutong chuckled. It is estimated that Jia Mu only knew how to hide things, but did not know the value of some items inside. "This thing, in the eyes of a knowledgeable person, is worth thousands of gold. In the eyes of an ignorant person, this thing is worth thousands of gold."

In the eyes, it is also a painting. It is also a painting that is not bright even when it is hung. I guess people still think that it is pretty good that these few scraps of paper can sell so much."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "If the eldest and second masters of the Jia family were involved, it would be impossible for us to miss it. I'm confused. The whole family is on guard against each other, aren't we waiting for outsiders to take advantage of the loopholes?"

Lin Yutong shook his head and said with a smile: "Who says it's not the case? So, when the family is in harmony, everything will be prosperous. Disharmony in the family is not the root cause of the family's ruin."

But when Ping'er received eight hundred taels of silver, he felt at ease. He could still continue to fool around these days. He said to Wang Xifeng, "I only got eight hundred taels of silver for a few volumes of calligraphy and painting. It's quite fair. The second master used to do it."

I stole the paintings from the great master’s study, and each of them cost me two hundred taels of silver.”

Wang Xifeng felt happy because she could give out eight hundred taels, which proved that the object itself was much more than the eight hundred taels. For a moment, she wanted to just accept it herself. But reason still prevailed. This thing

You must not get involved with yourself, otherwise if the government finds out, it will be really bad. She stroked her belly and said: "Send it to your wife quickly, so that you won't be suspicious of you again. When you get this money in the future, you

Don't go back to my house, just send it over directly. It was taken from melon fields and plums, and the provincial wife misunderstood it and thought I took 10% of it."

Ping'er nodded in agreement and turned around to go out. Unexpectedly, he met Jia Lian face to face before he left the yard.

"It's been a long time now, and you're still running out. Her temper is getting wilder and wilder. Your grandma has a golden knot in her belly. I don't dare to let her take care of her. Now you don't plan to take care of me anymore, right?" Jia Lian groaned angrily.

, I don’t know where my life was unsatisfactory again.

Ping'er followed her resignedly, and the two returned to Ping'er's house. At this time, Ping'er said: "I must have drunk too much here."

"You drank too much, you hoof. Don't think that I don't know what you have in your arms. I'll bring you two hundred taels now. I'll use it." Jia Lian heard Wang'er say that Ping'er took a box from Yuanyang and knew this.

What the hell was going on? He hurried back in a hurry. Who would be willing to pay without scraping the money he passed?

"I only have eight hundred taels of silver, and I still need two hundred taels. My Lord, how do you tell me to pay my wife the debt?" Ping'er hid quickly, not daring to let Jia Lian succeed.

"You are not honest now. If you don't turn to your own man, who can you turn to? I don't believe that your master has no involvement at all." Jia Lian sneered at Ping'er.

"My second master's words are so chilling. Have you ever seen my second grandma go out of the yard these days? She still has a child in her belly. It would be more considerate of me not to say this, but to say this to hurt people's hearts." Ping'er

He swore: "If our master and servant use a penny of money, we will not die in peace."

"Come on, no, no, I dare to say anything." Seeing that Ping'er didn't seem to be lying, Jia Lian said, "You really need to give me two hundred taels. I saw a small shop in the east of the city. Although the shop was small, the prices were high.

It's not expensive. You can almost buy it with money. Your grandma is pregnant with her. If this is a son, our expenses will not be greater. I can't calculate it. Anyway, the thing passed through your hands. I know the owner of the pawn shop.

Say hello and you won’t reveal your secrets. What are you afraid of? You only said six hundred taels. If the wife doesn’t believe it, just tell them to just go to the pawn shop and ask. The wife knows how to put it in her pocket, why are you so stupid and don’t know how to put it in your own house?

They are just like your master, a pair of stupid roe deer."

Ping'er really couldn't refute these words. After pondering for a long time, he took out two hundred taels and handed it over, "The person who agreed to buy the shop, you want me to know which of your sweethearts this money will be given to. This matter doesn't count between us.

over."

Jia Lian stretched out his hand, took the banknote over and said, "What a shame! Don't worry about my business from now on."

"You heartless..." Before he could finish his sentence, Jia Lian had already opened the curtain and walked out. An angry Ping'er cried in the room before going to the main room and telling Wang Xifeng.

"Who let us meet such a man?" Wang Xifeng looked very calm, "You don't have to reply to me, it's troublesome. You can just give me more advice." He looked like he was letting go.

Ping'er finally realized what the problem was. This grandma's attitude towards the second master was obviously wrong. She was a little frightened.

Yes! She was finally scared. Something was really wrong with grandma. Since she became an aunt, grandma has really treated herself and the second master differently.

She suppressed the panic in her heart and wanted to explain something. But Wang Xifeng urged: "Go and send the money quickly. After a while, the eldest lady may hear the letter and come to ask for the money. Let me see what happens to you. If you don't have any money,

It's okay to say that, but you can't give me the money in your hand, which is unreasonable. If there is a real trouble, you will be wronged."

Ping'er didn't care about anything else and hurried away.

When Zhou Rui's family saw the six hundred taels of silver, they didn't believe it at first. They said with a half-smile, "It's just this little money."

Ping'er was not a good person, and said: "I usually pawn things in my sister-in-law's shop, and all the calligraphy and paintings cost two hundred taels. This is a price that everyone knows. Doesn't my sister-in-law know about other prices?"

Zhou Rui's family choked, these words can kill people. There are not many masters in this family who have never pawned things. Two hundred taels is considered a high price. Whatever I say now is not like admitting that I know that my son-in-law is cheating people.

Okay? Who in this house is reasonable? If you go back and find fault with yourself and ask yourself to make up the money, it won't be a big loss. Therefore, even though you know that the amount given by Ping'er is wrong, you can't have an attack. Not only can't you have an attack,

They had to cover it up in front of their wife. She forced herself to smile and said, "I thought the market could get better, didn't I?"

Ping'er stopped running, made a clear explanation, and turned around to go back.

Zhou Rui's family felt secretly resentful, but they still had to give the money to his wife and send her back to the house.

"Is the number right?" Mrs. Wang asked.

"It's not a big deal. If you are greedy, it's only thirty-fifty taels of silver. I guess it's for the second mistress. On the surface, it's right." The Zhou Rui family gritted their teeth and said, "These antiques, whoever encounters them, then...

It's worth a thousand pieces of gold, but if you have bad luck and meet the wrong person, it won't be worth the price." She told Mrs. Wang the business experience she had heard from Leng Zixing in the past.

Mrs. Wang then gave up. She collected the money and said, "Let me pay you the monthly payment tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, the next day, another thing happened to Jia's family. It was Jia's mother who caught a cold due to the wind in the garden. Wang Xifeng prepared a lot of things and sent Grandma Liu away first. Hearing that the old lady was sick, she had to step out.

I went out of the yard and greeted the old lady. As soon as I entered the house, I heard Jia Mu say, "Now the children and grandchildren are here, but Min'er is missing. I just sent someone to call Uncle Lin, and also called Daiyu. I haven't seen him for some days."

I'm so worried."

Wang Xifeng sighed inwardly, they are all sick, and they are obviously really sick. Otherwise, Yuanyang would not go to such a big fight. Everyone is sick, and they are still thinking about what the Lin family is doing. Only their son is always in bed.

I have never seen a son-in-law serve his mother-in-law. He is getting more and more stupid as he gets older. This is the case in ordinary people's homes, not to mention Uncle Lin's current status. Why should I satisfy your request?
