Chapter 2393

Feng Lin frowned at the potatoes and said, "this painting is dirty and can't be sold."

No money?

Tudou said happily, "give it to me. I have an inkstone here. How about we exchange it?"

Feng Lin said without hesitation, "No."

"Lin, come and polish the ink."

At this time, a man's voice came from inside. Feng Lin said, "Dad, here you are."

Tudou subconsciously stepped back. Feng Lin stared at him and said, "if you weren't in a hurry to catch up with the work and draw, you'd be beaten out today!"

Tudou put the painting behind his back and said, "when Lu sees injustice, no, Lu sees injustice and draws a knife to help. I'll witness it all the way today. If I want to file a lawsuit, I'm willing to testify."

Feng Lin eased his face and said, "well, you should go quickly so that the people of Taining Hou don't come to trouble."

The girl hurried into the gate, and then the gate closed.

"Young man, do you like ah Lin?"

The man on the side asked with a joking smile.

Tudou is regretting that he almost said his father's mantra. When he heard the speech, he quickly shook his head and said, "no, I'm here to ask for the painting."

Fearing that he was not persuasive enough, he opened the picture.

"Eh! It's polluted! I'm afraid the Feng family will have some trouble."

As soon as Tudou heard this, he asked, "I happened to pass by there at that time. I saw Feng Lin arguing with the people in Taining Hou's house. There said that the painting must be sent tomorrow at the latest."

The man looked at the painting, frowned and said, "this landscape painting is not good. It should be spiritual. If it is not good, others will not recognize it. At that time, we will have bad luck."

Although Tudou didn't study the painting, he knew more about the difficulty of the painting.

"Uncle, is there anyone in the Feng family who can help with this?"

The man shook his head and said, "it's difficult. Feng Xiang's fiancee, the boss of the Feng family, is a niece. Who's the father of the family? He's just an academic officer. Where can he speak in front of Taining Hou."

Tudou sighed in his heart and asked, "uncle, is this painting for decoration? Why do you see that the name and seal on it are wrong."

The man coughed and said, "well... Some noble people don't have time, so they ask someone to draw some paintings. Many people know this."

Borrow a name!

Tudou understood. He arched his hand to thank him and took the horse home.

……

During the Chinese new year, fangjiazhuang is peaceful everywhere. Many farmers go to the city together. Those who meet potatoes on the road salute one after another.

After arriving at Zhuangzi, only some old people and their children played in the field, which added some festive atmosphere.

Tudou entered the house in a trance and was picked up by Fang Xing for questioning.

"How's Zhang Mao of your uncle's family?"

Fang Xing was wearing a cotton padded jacket and his hand was still sleeved in his sleeve. He looked like an old man in the north.

Tudou said how he felt about his cousin. Fang woke up and said, "it will be him after the British government. It seems that he has not been spoiled. Your cousins can go everywhere in the future."

The potato said, "Dad, I'm much older."

Fang Xing said helplessly, "your mother has been muttering since the morning that her mother's family is such a child supporting the lintel. She's lonely and uncomfortable."

Uh!

Tudou understood as soon as he heard it. It was probably Zhang Shuhui who went to the British government, and then was moved by Wu's bitter water. He wanted to let his men and children help his mother's nephew in the future.

The potato said, "that mother asked the child to go to her uncle's house alone, which means that the younger generation should often walk around."

When Fang woke up and saw that he understood, he said, "although this matter is with some calculations, it is at least a relative. If you don't violate your own principles, your brother will take care of it."

If you don't understand this, you probably have to say that Fang Xing is bragging.

Does a count dare to look after a government?

But everyone knows that unless the next generation of emperors ignore or dislike the Fang family, the British government really needs to borrow from the Fang family.

The potato answered and left.

Back to his place, Tudou remembered that he hadn't seen his sister and brother just now.

"The eldest young master, the young lady, the second young master and the third young master have gone to the temple."

Worship Buddha!

Tudou understood and asked the servant to step down.

He took out the picture, thought for a long time, and went to find Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong had nothing to do during the Chinese New Year. He spent all day traveling or resting at home with his wife and children. It was very free and easy.

The yard is not big, but it is very exquisite, and there is even a small pool.

The two men looked at the motionless fish by the small pool. The potato kicked the edge of the pool.

Most of them were raised. They forgot to be afraid of people. The fish were still motionless, which made people wonder whether they were fake.

Huang Zhong saw that he meant something hard to say, so he smiled and said, "the young master is in trouble?"

Tudou nodded. "Mr. Huang, there are painters in the capital who paint for dignitaries and hang the names of dignitaries. What will happen if these things are exploded?"

Huang Zhong said without even thinking about it: "there's no result. It's common. As long as it's not an article, it's nothing."

If you steal other people's articles for yourself, whether you buy them or not, they will be despised and rejected by readers.

"What if you are not satisfied with the painting?" potato continued.

"It depends on whose house it is."

Huang Zhong thought it was a child's business, but Tudou was at a time when he didn't understand the outside world, so he explained it in detail.

"If you have a good reputation, you won't be too mean. At most, you just cut off contacts and change a painter. If you have a mean family, you can't tell. If you don't do well, you'll lose money, or you'll clean up the painter."

"There is another."

Huang Zhong drank some wine with Xie Jin at noon, a little tipsy.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "some painters are good at painting. Dignitaries will recruit, but the Hou door is as deep as the sea. How dare ordinary people go? So dignitaries can't help finding a wrong place to hold him down."

As Fang Xing's only staff, Huang Zhong sometimes works outside or expresses his position on behalf of the Fang family, so he has seen a lot of powerful means.

He felt that there was no way to do such a thing. Unless it caused human life, it would be difficult for Fang Xing to interfere.

As for the trouble of potatoes, he didn't think it was a big deal.

In his conjecture, Tudou should have met a painter, and then happened to meet the powerful bullying the painter, with some bad means.

Compassion!

Huang Zhong was naturally compassionate, so he gave Tudou an idea: "young master, it depends on who the other party is. This is not bullying soft and afraid of hard, but deciding what means to help according to the person's temperament."

He knew that Fang Xing wanted to temper his son, so he was not ready to take the initiative to ask the end of Tudou's hand. He was ready to ask the knife he went out with Tudou earlier.

But Tudou bowed his hands and said, "thank you, Mr. Huang. I'm leaving."

Huang Zhong was surprised. After the potatoes left, he went to find a knife.

They all lived in the front yard because there were many people. Fang woke up and later asked someone to transform it and widen and deepen the front yard.

Huang Zhong walked to the place where the servants lived. Looking at the row of small yards in front of him, he thought he would be relaxed and happy to play chess with people under the big tree in summer.

"No! I didn't find a woman!"

"Where's the smell of fat and powder? Is it a woman throwing herself into her arms?"

"No! It's a handkerchief, a falling handkerchief!"

"You go out with the young master. The young master certainly won't go to that place. It's just you. Where have you been?"

"I didn't go! Chun Mei."

"It must be our mother and son who have attracted your disgust."

"No, I'm wronged!"

"Sooner or later, there will be no place for us. We might as well go back to our mother's house earlier to make room for the new couple."

"Xiao Bao, shall we go to my grandfather?"

"I really didn't... Hey! OK, OK, I'll go out, I'll go out! Xiaobao, dad is sleeping outside tonight. If you miss Dad, tell your mother."

Huang Zhong listened to the quarrel between the couple outside. The gate of the courtyard opened and Xiao Dao came out dejected. He was about to turn around and talk, but the gate was closed by Chun Mei from the inside.
