The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 53 The Secret Play
Lin Fangfeng's eyes lit up when he heard the word "valuable", and only heard Lin Zisu say: "This azure-glazed brush washer was produced by Ru Kiln in the previous dynasty. Looking at the whole Dayan, it is well preserved. Then there are hundreds of pieces, and selling it is enough to buy the land of our Canningbo Mansion. You are good, and you can take such a treasure to play with the crickets."

Huang was also shocked and angry. She secretly took out this thing from the storeroom at home. She thought it looked beautiful, so she gave it to her son. She didn't know that this brush washer was priceless.What's more, he didn't expect his ineffective son to use this pen to tease crickets in the study.

Being so ashamed in front of her niece, Huang hated her son for the first time in her life. She casually picked up a thick book on the table, slapped Lin Fangfeng on the head repeatedly, and shouted angrily, "Let you stay in the study." Work hard, let you work hard in the study, you have learned to play crickets in the study, tell me, did your brother push you!"

Huang was only focused on venting, but didn't notice a booklet flying out from the interlayer of the book. Lin Fangfeng didn't care to dodge it at this time, but just stared at the booklet, with a glimmer of despair in his eyes.

The pamphlet fell to the ground with a "clack", and a few pages were opened in the air, and it turned out to be a book of secret opera pictures.

Lve Ying's eyes were sharp, and she saw the contents of the booklet at the first time, hurriedly dragged Lin Zisu away, and said, "Miss, let's go back, don't stain your eyes."

Lin Zisu followed Lve Ying's gaze, and a layer of frost covered his face instantly, and said, "I really don't want to come to such a filthy place again, take that brush away!"

Several women stepped forward to take away the brush washer, but Lin Fangfeng hurriedly protected the brush washer, regardless of the cover-up scene, and shouted: "My general! You can't take my general away!" !"

Huang still didn't understand why her niece suddenly became furious when she was talking so well. She only remembered that Lin Zisu said that the lottery was priceless, so she made up her mind to keep the lottery in her hands no matter what.

Seeing that Lin Zisu was about to take it away by force, Mrs. Huang stepped forward to protect the brush washer, crying, "Eldest sister, why are you so unreasonable? This brush is still idle in the warehouse, let your brother use it for a few minutes?" What happened to the day? Your brother is a serious scholar, and when he is in high school, won't you, the aunt of the Lin family, follow suit?"

"A serious scholar? Second Aunt, you really put money on Second Brother's face. Just look at what he's doing!" Lin Zisu said, ignoring Mrs. Huang, turned around and left the study.

"What's wrong with fighting a cricket? I heard that those young masters in Beijing, which one can't..."

As Mrs. Huang said, she saw that everyone in the room was staring at the booklet on the floor with strange expressions, feeling puzzled.

After going closer to have a look, Mrs. Huang jumped up immediately, picked up a small stool and threw it at Lin Fangfeng, cursing angrily: "You are useless, why did my mother raise such a dirty bastard like you?" !"

Huang only cared about teaching Lin Fangfeng a lesson, and couldn't care less about other things. In the end, Lin Zisu took the brush back to the warehouse.

Lin Zisu got an errand with her mother, and when she returned to her yard, she felt relieved for a while, because the unhappiness accumulated by Xie Xi last night was swept away, so she made herself a pot of tea and sat in the room to sip it.

At noon, Hu Po delivered the food to the yard. Talking about the incident at Huaguang Courtyard, Hu Po laughed and said, "The second madam is going crazy, and punished the two young masters to kneel at the gate of the courtyard. Come here, the second young master was called into the house by the second lady, who said she wanted to punish him to close the door and think about his mistakes, but the third young master is still basking in the sun."

The aunt Huang was really pitiful. Lin Zisu felt a little sympathetic to Lin Banxia, ​​and said to Amber, "Go to Huaguang Courtyard to visit later, and bring some water and food to the third young master."

Amber worried: "Miss, if this servant does this, will the Second Madam be angry with you?"

Lin Zisu smiled and took a mouthful of vegetables, and said, "Is the second lady still angry? Anyway, she doesn't like anyone, and I'm not afraid of offending her."

"By the way, Madam Zhao sent a pawn ticket just now, saying that she found it from the book in the second young master's pen wash." Hu Po took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Zisu.

Lin Zisu put down the chopsticks in his hand, unfolded the piece of paper, and immediately felt a little ridiculous. This Lin Fangfeng actually mortgaged the "South Window" given to him by his father to the pawnshop.

This kind of strange book that the literati dreamed of would never be circulated in the market, but Lin Fangfeng treated it as a waste product, and only paid 50 taels of silver.

Lin Zisu collected the pawn ticket, ready to hand it over to her father when she saw her father.It suddenly occurred to her that Huang's mother and son are so stupid, so they wouldn't have any scruples, so she said solemnly to Hu Po, "I'll deliver food to the third young master later, let Lve Ying go there, you might suffer a disadvantage if you meet the second lady."

In the afternoon, Lin Zisu was bored, and remembered that the seven-wheel fan she saw in Luo's mansion was very exquisite, so she plunged into the small study and began to draw drawings.The design of the seven-wheel fan is very complicated, and Lin Zisu can't see it too clearly, so he can only restore it slowly from memory.

This hard work, two hours passed, and when Lin Zisu finished her work, it was the setting sun that was burning like fire, burning the half of the western sky red.

Fei Cui had been waiting outside the study for a while, seeing Lin Zisu coming out of the study and cleaning her hands for her, she said with some concern: "Miss, just now the master went to the office, the second lady went to the outer study to complain to the master, master Let you go here."

Lin Zisu took the face towel handed over by Fei Cui, and said with a smile: "Then go, I'm curious, what will she say to father?"

After tidying up briefly, she took Jade and walked towards her father's study.Just as he walked to the gate of the outer courtyard, he saw Lin Wenjing wandering leisurely in the courtyard just after returning from school. Wang Qingsheng followed behind him with a bookcase on his back, with a helpless expression on his face.

Seeing his elder brother's face, Lin Zisu knew that it was time for him to rest again, so he walked up to him and said with a smile, "Brother, I drew a good thing today, and I will send the blueprint to you tomorrow."

Lin Wenjing heard what his sister said, and said happily: "You made a new blueprint? Let me see it!"

"Father called me, and I'll send someone to send it to you later." Lin Zisu pursed her lips and smiled. This brother is still as obsessed with Tiangong as ever!

"I'm idle right now, but I can't wait until tomorrow, Fei Cui, you lead Wang Qingsheng over there, and bring your lady's blueprint to Master Ben."

Seeing his brother's impatient look, Lin Zisu couldn't laugh or cry, so he let Fei Cui lead Wang Qingsheng to his study, and before chatting with his brother, he saw his father opened the door of the study, his face darkened. Said: "Elder sister, come in for me!"

Lin Wenjing didn't know what had happened yet, seeing his father's poor words, he mouthed to Lin Zisu to ask.Lin Zisu made a gesture to tell her brother to go to her mother first instead of waiting for her.

Seeing her brother turn around and go to the backyard, Lin Zisu entered his father's study.As soon as the door was closed, my father slapped the desk heavily, and angrily said: "You are an unfilial and unkind girl! Look at the good deeds you have done!"

The Huang family was angered by Lin Zisu today, and she wanted Lin Zisu to look good, so she had guarded the gate of the mansion since Shen Shi, for fear that Lin Zisu would take the lead and the villain would sue first.

Just now, Mrs. Huang blocked Lin Yuanzhi and cried out Lin Zisu's ten crimes. Lin Yuanzhi was shocked and angry when he heard it.

Although he knew Huang's temperament, he couldn't believe even half a sentence in ten sentences, but he always believed in the prosperity of family and all things. complain.

Lin Zisu calmed down, poured a cup of tea from the table, put it in front of her father, and said, "Father, calm down."

Lin Yuanzhi gave Lin Zisu a hard look, reluctantly took the tea, and said sadly: "Your mother has taught you for so many years, why haven't you made any progress? You are the eldest sister of our family, let alone set an example. Do you see how you treat your elders?"

Lin Zisu asked with a smile on her face, "Father, you have come home from the office today, and you haven't seen your mother yet, right?"

Lin Yuanzhi was still waiting for his daughter's explanation, but he didn't expect his daughter to ask such a question, he was slightly taken aback, and looked at Lin Zisu with some doubts.

Lin Zisu went on to say, "Mother was so angry by Second Aunt that she shed tears, do you know that?"

Lin Yuanzhi had just arrived at the mansion, and was blocked by Mrs. Huang at the door. He hadn't had time to see Mrs. Bi. Hearing what Lin Zisu said, he felt a little angry at Mrs. Huang in his heart.

She never expected that this Huang family would dare to provoke his eldest sister-in-law only a few days after returning to Beijing, and in turn came to sue herself.Hearing Lin Zisu's brief account of what happened, Lin Yuanzhi suppressed his anger and asked, "Is your mother okay?"

Lin Zisu didn't take his father's words, and said again: "Father, the azure-glazed brush washer that Zhang Shilang gave you was taken by the second brother to tease the crickets, so the second aunt didn't tell you."

Brush wash?Lin Yuanzhi thought for a long time before he was startled, the brush washer was sent along with Zhang Ruogu when he sent the transfer order that day.He was born in a humble family, so he didn't know much about porcelain.He didn't know the purpose of Zhang Ruogu's gift. Since he had accepted a gift from others, it would be inappropriate to return it intact, so he always wanted to find an opportunity to return a gift of comparable value to Zhang's family.

Hearing Lin Zisu say that Lin Fangfeng actually used that brush to amuse crickets, Lin Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and continued to listen to Lin Zisu.

"That's Ru porcelain. It was fired in the official kiln of the previous dynasty. I've seen that brush wash for many years. Father should return it when he has a chance. Our family doesn't have any comparable gifts."

Lin Zisu ignored his father's anger and continued: "Privately giving and receiving, this matter is big or small. Zhang Shilang is not related to our family, and if he is careless and is played by the imperial censor, father, this is a big deal." Have you thought about the consequences?"

Seeing her father's face getting more and more ugly, Lin Zisu sighed, and said in a low voice, "Father, there is a picture of a secret play in the second brother's study, did the second aunt tell you?"
