Chang'an is good

Chapter 125 Not a Fuel-Efficient Lamp
"That painting was originally painted by a girl for Grandma Zhong," Xi'er said.

Chang Suian was taken aback: "Based on this, is that painting really painted by Ning Ning?"

Xi'er nodded.

Although Chang Kuo had thought about this possibility, he looked at his daughter in amazement at this moment: "Since that's the case...then it's just in the Dengtai Tower, why no one can see it?"

"Because I am really good at both kinds of handwriting, but I have never mentioned it to anyone before." Chang Suining could only say: "It is true that I copied Princess Chongyue's handwriting, and the painting in the building is an imitation of Her Royal Highness Princess Chongyue." the wind—"

He also said: "In addition, the painting they found was an old work from last year. Although it was only half a year ago, I have experienced a lot in the past six months, and I have forgotten many things in the past. My mind has changed, and the works I wrote are naturally different. In other words, because I always wanted to be close to the style of His Highness the Princess when I was painting, I was able to cross the sea."

On this point, Chang Kuo was relatively easy to fool, and he knew nothing about the art of calligraphy and painting. Hearing Chang Suining's explanation at this time, he suddenly nodded.

He breathed a sigh of relief fortunately: "Fortunately, Ningning has this previously unknown ability, otherwise today I really can't tell."

After a pause, he looked at his daughter again and said, "It can be regarded as the blessing of His Royal Highness the princess in the sky."

Chang Suining: "...I guess it's right."

She didn't linger on the topic of protecting herself, but asked: "But... who is that Granny Zhong?"

It's obvious that her brain is broken, and there is no burden to take advantage of it.

Xi'er replied: "Grandma Zhong was the old woman in charge of the girl's courtyard. She watched the girl grow up. She took care of the girl's daily life in the past. The girl has been very close to her since she was a child."

Chang Sui Ning understood.

There is no female mistress in the Chang family, so it is reasonable to think that there should be an older woman taking care of Ah Li.

She then asked, "Then where is Granny Zhong now?"

"Grandma Zhong passed away last winter."

Xi'er's tone was a bit sad, and she carefully watched the reaction of her own girl, for fear that the sad incident would be brought up, but at this moment, she had no choice but to continue talking——

"Grandma Zhong has been ill for a long time. Last year she took the initiative to go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate. The reason is that she didn't want the girl to look sad... The girl also went to the Zhuangzi later. Bai Guanshi and Mr. Lang invited the best in the city. The doctor is at Granny Zhong's side, but it's still..."

"Before Granny Zhong died, she said that she wanted to be buried back to her hometown in Bingzhou, so after Granny Zhong left, her son carried the coffin back to his hometown—"

"Before sealing the coffin, the girl personally put some things that Grandma Zhong used to use during her lifetime into the coffin, and that painting was painted by the girl for Granny Zhong's funeral."

Chang Kuo frowned: "Then it should be in Zhong's tomb...Why did it appear in the capital?"

"I know!" Chang Sui'an said firmly: "It must be Wu Lin's good deed!"

"Wu Lin?" Chang Suining thought for a while: "Grandma Zhong's son?"

Chang Suian nodded: "That's right, so Ningning still remembers him!"

Chang Suining: "..."

It's impossible to remember, it's just a random guess based on Xi'er's words just now.

Xi'er took over the words and said: "When this Wu Lin used to work in the mansion, he always liked to sneak, rape and play tricks. He relied on Granny Zhong to win the attention of girls, and often acted like a domineering... If Granny Zhong didn't control him, he would I don't know what it looks like."

"Before she died, Granny Zhong proposed to redeem Wu Lin's body and let him go back to his hometown, probably because she was afraid that something bad would happen to him after she died."

Chang Kuo also let out a "huh" and said, "This Mrs. Zhong is a smart person, but her son really can't support the wall."

Seeing that his daughter valued the Zhong family, he also thought about letting Guanshi Bai cultivate Wu Lin, but that kid is not good.

"Wu Lin's body deed was returned by Manager Bai. I didn't take any money for redemption, and I gave him another sum of money according to my sister's wishes. In addition to Granny Zhong's previous savings, he can get it back. The countryside of Bingzhou is supposed to be able to live comfortably!" Chang Suian said contemptuously, "How could I even open my aunt's coffin!"

It is impossible for an outsider to open the coffin to take the burial objects!
"Apart from stealing, raping and playing tricks, does he have any bad habits?" Chang Suining asked, "Such as gambling?"

"He doesn't gamble, but he..." Chang Suian paused in the middle of speaking, his face flushed suddenly.

Chang Suining said "Oh" knowingly: "That is indeed a hobby that consumes money, and I am afraid that he has already taken all the contents in the coffin."

Chang Suian's expression was inexplicably panicked... Does my sister understand now? !

Chang Kuo coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Someone must have gone to Bingzhou to find him on purpose, to inquire about Ningning's private affairs—"

Chang Suining asked Xi'er, "Does he know about my dealings with Zhou Ding?"

Xi'er nodded, and her face was not very good-looking: "Grandma Zhong once told the servant girl to be more careful, don't let the girl be deceived by Zhou Ding... When the servant girl left, he saw him hiding behind the wall After that, it seems to be eavesdropping."

"That's him!" Chang Kuo patted the coffee table: "This is a money-seeking thing!"

As he said that, he called Guan Shi to come forward: "...let someone secretly go to Bingzhou to arrest the person, even if Wu Lin got into the mouse hole, dig three feet into the ground and arrest him!"

The white manager should go down.

"It doesn't sound like a smart person. I guess I can't get any useful clues from him." Chang Suining said: "But such reckless betrayers should be found out as soon as possible—— "

Otherwise, I don't know how many things about the master's family will be leaked.

Chang Suian couldn't help but said: "This kind of person is a disaster wherever he goes, he shouldn't be let back to his hometown in the first place!"

Chang Suining also agrees with this sentence, but it is meaningless to say it now: "It's just a long memory."

Chang Kuo then asked: "Tonight's matter of Xie Shi...does Ning Ning have doubts?"

Chang Suining nodded, and said bluntly, "Mrs. Mrs. Chang."

Chang Kuo didn't look surprised when he heard the words, and obviously already had some guesses, so he said in a deep voice, "This is to seek revenge for her son."

Although he was angry, his mind was still clear: "It's just that she didn't do it herself, so it's impossible for Xie to confess to her. If there is no direct evidence from Wu Lin... I'm afraid I won't be able to move for the time being." her."

Chang Suining took the warm tea from Xi'er, and said casually, "Just settle this matter first, don't worry about the rest."

Seeing the girl going to drink tea calmly, Chang Kuo was silent for a while, but asked, "Ning Ning thinks Dad is useless?"

Chang Suining looked up at him: "Why did Father say that?"

Chang Kuo's tone was a little dull: "My daughter was bullied, and I know who did it, but the father can't call the door to vent my anger on my daughter..."

"If this is useless, wouldn't the Ming family of Duke Ying's mansion be even more useless?" Chang Suining said a little amusedly: "I hit Ming Jin, but they also didn't dare to hit the door to vent their anger, so they could only secretly Do some hands and feet? And the hands and feet are messed up, according to this, they should be more suffocated."

Chang Suining put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The mother clan who is a saint is so restrained, and Dad has no evidence in hand, so he can't call the door at will. It's not shameful."

"On the contrary, wouldn't it be because of Father's status and prestige that they can be so restrained and dare not touch me in the open? If it weren't for Father's presence, how could I fight against Mingjin when I fought against him?" Is that easy?"

Hearing what she said, Chang Kuo couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and felt a little relieved.

He is not that kind of brainless person, nor is it the first day he has been caught in the vortex of the capital's powerful and powerful, and he understands that not everything can be done as he wants-but no matter how capable parents are on weekdays, if they see their children being wronged, If you can't get justice back immediately, you will always feel frustrated.

Parents always think that they should be omnipotent in front of their children.

Chang Suining can empathize with this feeling.

Although she has never been a parent, she doesn't want to see people around her being bullied—this may be her original intention when she first put on Ah Xiao's robe when she was a child.

"But Ningning, don't worry, Father will find a chance to get it back for you sooner or later!" Chang Kuo promised.

Chang Suining felt that he hadn't suffered a loss tonight, and even though Chang didn't show up and couldn't catch him, Xie, who was jumping in front, couldn't escape.

The weight of this matter is nothing more than a trivial matter to her, but she likes to calculate clearly no matter whether it is a big vendetta or a small one.If you don't get revenge, you won't eat well, and you have to grind your teeth and think about it in your dreams.

And what she is most concerned about now is who was the one who bought Yuzhuan to poison her in the previous life——

Thinking of this, Chang Sui Ning said, "Besides this, I have another matter to discuss with Father."

Chang Kuo didn't like it very much: "What are you talking about!"

The feeling of not being able to vent her anger on the child immediately is really painful, and now he wished that his daughter would ask him a hundred demands immediately!

So this is not called asking, this is called filial piety!
"I would like to borrow a few people from Dad. They need to be skilled, and they don't often show up in front of people." Chang Suining made up a reason nearby: "With them following secretly, we can also be wary of the Ming family."

After Chang Kuo was taken aback, he smiled comfortably: "This proposal is good! Dad agrees!"

As he said that, he called Guanshi Bai: "Old Bai, bring everyone here!"

Chang Suining: "?"

Are there any candidates?

Chang Kuo smiled without saying a word.

He admits he was prepared.

Not to mention anything else, just relying on his daughter's preference to fight with others, as a father, can he think of adding a few more people?

Manager Bai quickly brought over a group of well-dressed people, a group of ten people, who could tell from a glance that they were well-trained.

Chang Kuo looked at them: "From now on, you will be responsible for the safety of the girl. If the girl has an order, you don't need to ask others for instructions, just follow it with all your heart."

All ten people responded together and bowed to Chang Suining.

The leader said humanely: "The subordinate's name is Chang Ren, but the girl has orders, just send them."

Chang Suining: ...What a sharp name.

She nodded: "I will be able to thank you all in the future."

After letting Chang Ren and others retreat, Chang Kuo talked to his daughter for a while, and then left the study with his two children.

"How do Ningning plan to deal with the two little beggars brought back today?" Chang Kuo asked casually.

"I want to keep them in the mansion for a period of time, and observe their aptitude and character before making arrangements. What do you think, Father?"

Chang Kuo nodded: "Okay, then I will leave it to Chu Xing, and I will practice it first."

It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, a mule or a horse, once you enter the mansion, you have to practice first.

Chang Sui Ning nodded in agreement.

Physical fitness comes first.

"Father." She called out suddenly.

Chang Kuo turned his head to look at his daughter who was walking beside him, and smiled kindly: "What's wrong?"

Chang Suining also turned to look at him, with a serious smile in his eyes: "Thank you, Father."

No matter what happened today, or what happened in the past, whether it was Li Shang, Ah Li, or Chang Suining at this time—she should thank Lao Chang.

Lao Chang seems rough and reckless, but in fact he is soft and delicate in heart.

He is a good subordinate and a good father.

Chang Kuo smiled and tapped her on the head: "Why are you thanking Father, what a stupid thing to say!"

Chang Suining looked up and smiled at him: "In the future, I will be filial to Father."

She had already made preparations to provide for Lao Chang in the old age. After all, Lao Chang once threatened that she would not marry a wife, and marrying a daughter-in-law would be troublesome.

But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would come back with a little brat in his arms...

Chang Kuo burst out laughing when he heard the words, and said happily: "Okay! If nothing else, we Ning Ning can support Dad by selling paintings alone!"

"My sister can sell 4000 taels for a single painting!" Chang Suian made a rough calculation and felt shocked: "It's no problem to support how many fathers!"

Chang Suining also nodded modestly.

Although 4000 taels is something to grab, but it is also feasible to use it to support a family.

If one day is really unlucky, then sell calligraphy and paintings, and raise my father, such a life should be good.

She smiled and looked towards the sky ahead, the summer nights were short, and the sky would be bright soon.

Many things happened that night, and this night seemed to be extremely short, and many people did not close their eyes.

In Ying Guogong's mansion, Ming Jin woke up from a dream and dreamed that Chang Suining was being severely taught by others, and asked about going to the Tailou. Showing off, he cursed and cursed angrily, and smashed things all over the room with a black face.

Mrs. Ying Guogong's wife, Chang Shi, is sitting in a chair at this time, and there is a man and a woman kneeling in front of her, all dressed as servants.

The man kowtowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "...that man claimed to have seen the paintings made by Mrs. Chang's family with his own eyes. He couldn't tell the truth about the cause and effect, but who would have thought that he actually coaxed the villain!"

The man's face repeated: "This man is full of lies, it is really hateful, please allow the villain to go to Bingzhou..."

Before he finished speaking, Chang's sneered: "Absurd, are you going to Bingzhou to throw yourself into the trap?"

The man's expression changed: "Ma'am..."

Chang's expression was extremely cold: "Take them all down."

"lady!"

"Madam, please forgive me!"

As the person was dragged down, the begging for mercy quickly disappeared.

After a moment of silence in the room, the lady next to Chang's asked in a low voice: "Ma'am, what about Mrs. Xie...do you want the servant girl to send someone over there?"

"What are you going to do." Chang closed her eyes and pressed her tired eyebrows: "What should be said and what should not be said, do you still need me to remind her?"

"Yes." The mother-in-law thought about it: "From this point of view, this lady of the Chang family is not the reckless person who can only do things..."

Chang's sneered: "Yes, but I underestimated her."

She had finished listening to the details of what happened in the Dengtai Tower, and after careful thought, she could see that the cause of the failure was not only in the painting, but also in the Chang Niang.

"It's not a fuel-efficient lamp." Her voice was slow and cold: "It seems that I have to think about it next time."
