Delicate Flower

Chapter 40: Uncover

Before he knew it, the light in the room dimmed, and Yu Tang realized that the sun was already westward.

She got up, rubbed her a little sore eyes, and went out to recruit a small servant to ask: "Did Master Yu and Master Yu come back?"

"No!" Xiao Si replied, and Yu Tang saw Tong Er's shopkeeper walking in.

He is very similar to Tong Da's shopkeeper, not his facial features, but his temperament. They all give people a very kind and talkative feeling.

The owner of the inn manages the bills on the counter.

He asked the owner of the inn: "Is the lady boss here? How is Miss Yu's family? I have been thinking about coming to ask, but the business is too busy today and I can't get away."

There is a difference between men and women.

The owner of the inn was too embarrassed to visit Yu Tang, and said, "Should be okay? I heard the little second in the store say that Miss Yu's family went out and bought some things back-I can go shopping, it's probably better." But he didn't know the specifics, he didn't know. After saying this, he asked the lady boss to come out again.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Okay, okay! It's just that I'm not very energetic. However, anyone who doesn't eat this day will lose energy!"

"That's good." The shopkeeper Tong Er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The third master of our family already knows that I have used his famous post to ask Miss Yu for the doctor. When the time comes, the third master will ask about the situation of the Yu family. , I also know how to answer!" Then he asked Yu Wen and Yu Yuanlai again, knowing that the two of them had left the house early in the morning and had not returned. He said: "Then I will not visit Miss Yu, Yu Master and Master Yu come back, you can help me tell them, I will visit them tomorrow."

The boss and the proprietress replied repeatedly and sent the shopkeeper Tong Er out.

Yu Tang was too embarrassed to go out to say hello, and turned back to his room.

When he was holding the lantern, Yu Wen came back first.

He looked tired, his smile was a little reluctant when the boss greeted him, he hurriedly spoke to the boss and went back to the room.

When Yu Tang heard the movement, he went to his father's house.

"Sit down!" The tiredness in Yu Wen's eyes seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. He stroked his forehead and said, "If you don't come to me, I'm going to see you too. How are you today? Do you still have a stomachache? What did you do in the inn by yourself when we were away?"

Yu Tang answered one by one, and then poured a cup of hot tea for his father. Then he sat next to his father and said, "Did you encounter something?"

Yu Wen nodded, holding the tea cup but not drinking tea, but staring at Yu Tang blankly, his eyes deep and solemn.

Yu Tang's heart slammed.

According to their previous plan, in order not to attract attention, her father went to investigate Lu Xin’s affairs to see if Lu Xin’s death was strange, while Yu Yuan went to the master surnamed Qian to see if he could help. The "Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture" reveals another layer. Now Yu Yuan hasn't come back, I don't know how the master surnamed Qian will reply to Yu Yuan, Yu Wen is definitely not good news here.

She held her breath and waited for her father to figure out how to tell her about it.

Yu Wen was silent for a long time before he said: "Atang, you are right! Your uncle Lu's death, I'm afraid it really complied with your guess!"

With this kind of information, Yu Tang's heart became more at ease. She said: "Could it be that Uncle Lu was killed by someone?"

"I don't know if it was killed by someone, but he shouldn't have died like this." Yu Wen told Yu Tang in detail about what he found. "Before your father Lu died, you still owed the inn room. Qian and the wine money from a small restaurant in the alley, and he just got in touch with the newly appointed Yushi Yushi. I heard from the owner of the inn that he has been recommended by the Yushi Yushi and he will go to the capital in two days. The Imperial College has gone to study..."

Yu Tang frowned and said, "Could it be Lu Xiu who brags?"

"Whether it's bragging or not, it's true that he is going to the capital." Yu Wen said, "He also found several acquaintances to collect money, and wanted to settle the money for accommodation and wine. The inn is good to say, the owner of the small restaurant listens. He said that he was leaving, fearing that he would not give him money and sneak away, and kept sending his son to follow you Uncle Lu. The owner of the small restaurant said that that night his son saw your Uncle Lu go back to the inn to rest, and he was afraid of you. My uncle was called out to play in the middle of the night, and the small restaurant owner’s son waited until the second watch was played, and he couldn't keep it going before he went back.

"Who knows early the next morning, but found that your Uncle Lu drowned in the Taohua River not far from the inn.

"I also asked the innkeeper, and the innkeeper vowed to say that he did not find your Uncle Lu out."

Yu Tang shuddered.

Yu Wen also looked sad.

Both felt that the situation was not good, and neither dared to continue the investigation, nor did they dare to just pretend to be confused and wait until disaster strikes.

For a while, both father and daughter had no idea.

Yu Wen had to comfort herself: "Maybe we are thinking too complicated, and we will talk about it when A Yuan comes back."

Those who do business like Master Qian are usually very scared of their faces. Today, Yu Yuan passed by and didn't take the painting over. Instead, he invited a very good friend of Master Qian to be an intermediary, and tried to ask Master Qian to help.

As for success or failure, there are still two things to say.

Seeing that his father was a little frustrated, Yu Tang had to say, "Daddy, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I asked the lady boss to order the food. The fish was fried in the store today, and I smelled the fragrance while sitting in the house."

This inn can include meals or a la carte.

Yu Wen and the others don't know how things will be done. Without meals, they can only order.

"Let's wait for A Yuan to come back!" Yu Wen said faintly, and Yu Yuan came back.

He was very energetic and happily said, "Uncle, Master Qian asked us to go there early tomorrow morning. Only after seeing the painting can we be sure of faith."

This is also good news.

Yu Wen cheered up, but Yu Yuan still saw the clue.

Yu Wen didn't hide it from him, and told Yu Yuan what had happened.

Yu Yuan looked serious and said: "Then we have to be more careful tomorrow."

Yu Wen sighed and said: "Let's eat! Do your best and obey the destiny. I'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

Yu Tang hurriedly ordered dinner.

After dinner, I was originally scheduled to go to Xiaohe Yujie Night Market, but everyone was not in the mood, and they went back to their rooms early.

Yu Tang continued to make head flowers until he heard the three watch drums before falling asleep.

When she got up the next day, when she heard Yu Wen talking to the shopkeeper, Yu Yuan had already gone out with the painting.

However, he came back early this time.

I came back before lunch and left the painting with Master Qian.

With bright eyes, he lowered his voice and Yu Wen and Yu Tang said: "Master Qian has seen the painting and said that this painting can have at least three layers uncovered, and he asked us how many layers should be uncovered. I think I will trouble him once, too. If you're not polite, let him be able to uncover how many layers, but it will cost five taels of silver more than before, and you won't be able to get the painting until tomorrow afternoon."

Since Yu Wen learned about Lu Xin yesterday, he was in a low mood. Hearing this, he simply responded with a "OK" and directly took the silver to Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan took the silver and went out again.
