"Sister, have you ever seen the original painting of the Heavenly King Delivering a Child?" Tai Jingwan didn't expect that Jiang Jinyue could actually identify the value of the painting.
"I haven't seen it." Jiang Jinyue shook her head.
"Jiang, since you have never seen the original, how can you tell the real thing from the fake? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense." Gu Huaizhi had a cold face and was very unhappy. Why did Jiang Jinyue turn her arm away at the critical moment?
"But, husband, what's written here is the picture of the King of Heaven bestowing a child?" Jiang Jinyue said innocently.
[I was saying, how could a beautiful sister be so easy on these ungrateful bastards? Turns out, there is a back-up plan. Haha, this is a great fight! 】
"What did you say?" Gu Huaizhi didn't care about anything else and quickly picked up the painting on the ground. He saw that it was written on it: Wu Qiuzi's "The Heavenly King Grants a Child"!
Regardless of what is painted on the painting, just these few words alone cannot be the authentic version.
Tai Jingwan on the side was also stunned. Wow, where did Coral find such a fake?
If there wasn't a play to be performed and she had to drink it down, Tai Jingwan would have wanted to stay and laugh a few more times.
"Hmph, it seems that your Gu family is the one who specializes in forging paintings to cheat people? If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, I will go to Shuntian Prefecture to beat the drum!" Niu San raised his head and said angrily.
...
...
"Madam, could it be that you remembered this painting wrongly? It's not the Heavenly King Delivering a Child by Master Wu Daozi at all?" Gu Huai was stunned. He didn't know what went wrong. Why did it suddenly become this painting by Wu Daozi seeking a child?
He clearly remembered that what was contained in the rosewood painting box at that time was the authentic "Heavenly King Delivering a Child" by Wu Daozi.
However, the most urgent thing he wanted to do was to put the blame on the Tai family.
He firmly believed that this painting must be in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Maybe I took the wrong inkstone?
Thinking of this, Gu Huaizhi frowned and looked at Yanshu.
However, Yanshu was just a book boy. He had no idea what a master was. In his opinion, there was no difference between Wu Daozi and Wu Qiuzi.
"What does my husband mean?" Tai Jingwan looked at Gu Huaizhi with a hurt expression.
I thought to myself, he changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
Do you want the Tai family to take the blame?
That depends on whether her father is willing or not.
"Well, your Tai family said that they gave you a dowry of ten miles of red makeup. I think it's all fake, right? You didn't think that our mansion is easy to fool, so you deliberately made some fake things to fool our Mansion of Xuanping Marquis?" Gu Nianshu on the side was not calm anymore.
When she thought that all of Tai Jingwan's things in her warehouse were fake, Gu Nianshu felt disgusted.
"Sister Nianshu, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. My Tai family would never do such a thing to seek fame and reputation. Please don't accuse us wrongly." Tai Jingwan looked at Gu Nianshu with a cold face, feeling very contemptuous in her heart. Is her sister-in-law afraid that her reputation will be too good?
Do you always want to jump out and blame her?
She is a girl from the Tai family. What right does an uneducated sister-in-law from the declining Xuanping Marquis Mansion have to boss her around?
"Since your Tai family dares to do such a thing, are you still afraid of what I say?" Gu Nianshu thought that what she said was reasonable and was unwilling to give in.
"Enough, you have nothing to do here, go back!" Gu Huaizhi was already a little overwhelmed, and his little sister was still holding him back.
Even if the painting was really given by the Tai family, they must have their reasons. Besides, this painting was not given by the Gu family. If the Gu family has a problem, they should solve it themselves behind closed doors.
"Master, tell me, is the young lady of the Gu family stupid?" Mingli was watching with great interest from the side and couldn't help but talk to Wei Houyuan.
"Hmph, you can't tell right from wrong, you're indeed a fool." Wei Xiuyuan looked at Gu Nianshu who was still threatening at the gate of Marquis Xuanping's mansion with sarcasm, and thought to himself, I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as this.
"Master, fortunately, you don't like her." Mingli said to himself again.
Wei Houyuan cast a cold look at Mingli and wondered in his heart whether he had been giving Mingli too much favor recently.
"Go and spread the word about what Miss Gu did." Wei Xiuyuan kicked Mingli lightly and ordered.
"Okay." Mingli went to spread the rumors happily.
"My husband, who is our Tai family? Why would you fake my dowry? Why would sister Nianshu humiliate our Tai family like this?" Tai Jingwan looked at Gu Huaizhi as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Don't blame me, Madam. Nianshu is young and ignorant. Don't bother with her." Gu Huaizhi sighed and comforted Tai Jingwan.
"Who are you, Mr. Gu San? Someone has sued you for fraud." At this time, several yamen runners came over with cold faces.
"Sir, he is Mr. Gu San. He cheated me out of one hundred thousand taels of gold." Niu San quickly pointed at Gu Mingzhi lying on the ground and accused him.
"What's going on?" asked the bailiff with a frown.
"Sir, this is all a misunderstanding. I am the Marquis of Xuanping. This man acted rashly in front of our Marquis of Xuanping's mansion and tore up my wife's ancient painting that was her dowry. Please help the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion." Gu Huaizhi hurried forward and bowed to Guan Lairen.
"Sir, he is making a false accusation. That is not an ancient painting at all." Upon hearing what Gu Huaizhi said, Niu San hurriedly shouted to several yamen runners.
"Sir, this man is a scoundrel. My wife is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. How could there be fakes in her dowry?" At this moment, Gu Huaizhi wished he could immediately prove Niu San's guilt.
"Nonsense, it's obvious that what you took out is a broken painting. What ancient painting? Stop fooling me. I have never heard of Wu Qiuzi, let alone any "Heavenly King Grants a Child"! " Niu San scolded Gu Huaizhi.
"Okay, stop yelling here, all of you come with us to the yamen! Lord Xuanping, please come with us to the yamen too!" At this time, the yamen runners were impartial to everyone.
After all, Niu San is a veteran, but he does a lot of sneaky things on weekdays, but I have never heard of him framing any dignitaries.
As for the Marquis Xuanping, they had also heard of him. Didn't he marry the legitimate daughter of the Huangshang family as his concubine some time ago? So why was he having a dispute with Niu San today?
"Carry him away!" the bailiff ordered the people behind him.
"I guess this must be Miss Tai. Please come with us." The bailiff was obviously much more respectful to Tai Jingwan than to Gu Huaizhi.
Amber on the side nodded to Tai Jingwan.
"Thank you, sir." Tai Jingyao nodded and took the hat handed to him by Amber.
"Sister, I'll go with you." Jiang Jinyue said worriedly.
"Sister..." Tai Jingwan wanted to say a few words of refusal, but seeing Jiang Jinyue's eager eyes, she didn't say anything more.
Several people followed the yamen runners to Shuntian Prefecture.
"Sister, did you know from the beginning that the painting was fake?" Jiang Jinyue walked up to Tai Jingwan and asked in a low voice.
