Master of Rebirth

A few days later, Wang Yao, the eldest son of the Wang family, came back to visit relatives alone.Wang Qi was not surprised either. The third aunt Fang was the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, with a noble status. Although she liked the third uncle very much, she hated the Wang family's status as a merchant.The two have been married for so many years, and the number of times Fang condescended to come to the Wang family can be counted on one's fingers.

Although Mrs. Wang and Li are not easy to get along with, but they worship the high and trample the low. Not only dare not be angry or speak out to such a precious daughter-in-law, but also rush to curry favor. But it is all kinds of provocations.For this reason, the mother and the second aunt Zhu complained quite a bit, but there was nothing they could do.

The day when Wang Yao came back, the weather was fine, Mrs. Wang and Li sat on the top seat in the main hall, holding a son with one hand, crying and laughing happily.Others surrounded and accompanied them, saying some auspicious words from time to time to make the old lady happy, and the whole family was naturally happy.

Of course, the excitement in this room has nothing to do with Wang Qi, and after a symbolic meeting with the group, Wang Qi left the excitement to them, and slipped out for a stroll.

"Young master, the third master came back after a long time. Wouldn't it be too good if you weren't by my side?" Wang Sheng who came out together said a little worriedly.

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, grandma is busy talking about old times with third uncle and the others, will she think of me for a while? They probably have a lot to say about themselves, and I will get in the way when I'm there. We just need to hurry Just go back before lunch."

"The words are good, but I'm afraid that the old lady will pick on you afterwards and say that you don't know the general idea." Thinking of Wang Li's critical attitude towards Wang Qi, Wang Sheng was still a little worried.

Wang Qidao: "Even if I stay there, she will do everything possible to pick my faults, make me look bad in front of my third uncle, and make Wang Long and others laugh for nothing. If that's the case, why should I make myself uncomfortable?"

"That's true." Wang Sheng thought for a while, but still couldn't help saying: "But the third master came back after a long time, you should accompany him more. People like to listen to nice words, so you are at a disadvantage. You Seeing how sweet the second young master is, he can tell a flower, making the old lady and the third master so happy. If you can also win the favor of the third master, with the support of the third master, Jia Fugui and the others will restrain themselves of."

Wang Qi naturally understood what Wang Sheng meant.The third uncle has a high position and authority, and is the reliance of the Wang family outside.Wang Sheng wanted him to cultivate more relationships with his third uncle, and strive to gain his love, so that he could have someone who would make decisions for him in the future.

"When it comes to being glib, I'm naturally inferior to Wang Long. If I compare my weaknesses with his strengths, I may not be able to win." Wang Qi said with a smile: "Besides, even if I stay there, do you think Wang Long will be there for me?" Is there a chance to show your face in front of Third Uncle?"

When Wang Sheng thought about it, it was also the same reason. He felt extremely discouraged, but he stopped talking too much.

Seeing his dejected face, Wang Qi comforted him: "You don't have to worry, there are ways to please third uncle. Since your young master and I are not as good at talking as Wang Long, then we can only do things in a down-to-earth manner."

"Master has an idea?" Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at him expectantly.

Wang Qi just smiled and said nothing.

The two first went to Zhang's mansion to pay a visit, but unfortunately they still closed their doors to thank the guests.Not seeing Zhang Yunlin, Wang Qi felt worried.

In fact, Wang Sheng cared more about Zhang Yunlin's life and death than Wang Qi.Wang Qi has Zhang Yunlin's favor and often visits Zhang's mansion, which is a rare honor in Pingyao County.Wang Feng and Wang Long were jealous of Zhang Yunlin, and they only dared to run on Wang Qi in private, but they didn't dare to go too far publicly.

Seeing the situation in Zhang's house now, Wang Sheng also knew that Zhang Yunlin's health was not optimistic.Seeing his young master's serious face, Wang Sheng endured his disappointment and forced himself to comfort him, "Don't worry, young master. Good people live long, Master Zhang will be fine."

Knowing that this is a comforting sentence has no real effect at all.But Wang Sheng was kind after all, Wang Qi didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Let's go to Gubaozhai to have a look."

In Pingyao County, Wang Qi had only one friend, Dong Jue.Seeing that he was going to Gubaozhai, Wang Sheng also agreed very much.The two walked towards Gubaozhai.

"Why are you so disobedient, child? I told you not to run around. Why are you running around? Do you also want to become a drowned ghost in the well?" Not far away, a mother grabbed her child and couldn't help it. Scolding, causing passers-by to look sideways.

Looking at the woman who taught her son a lesson, Wang Sheng said, "Because of the drowning of the child a few days ago, these mothers are also trembling."

"Naturally, a mother should care about her children." Thinking of her mother, Wang Qi felt sore.Since his parents passed away, no one in this world loves him anymore.

The two walked along the street, and it would be New Year's Eve in a few days, and besides the bustling crowd, there were also many government servants on duty.They walked through the street in batches, as if they were on patrol.

"For Chinese New Year, why are there so many yamen servants on the street? Could it be to prevent children from falling into the well?" Looking at the waves of officials, Wang Qi asked curiously.

In the morning, Wang Sheng had just heard the gossip from the mansion, and knew some of the reasons, so he quickly explained to Wang Qi in a low voice: "Our grandfather has no such good intentions. I heard that the Li family in the east of the city was robbed last night, and a lot of property was lost. Grandpa was furious, and ordered the patrol room to catch the thief as soon as possible. In my opinion, if we don't catch the thief, our grandpa will not have a good time this year."

The old man of the Li family was originally an official in the capital, and he helped his family buy real estate in his hometown during his lifetime.After Mrs. Li passed away, the Li family's nephews were unworthy, so they moved back to Pingyao County.Although he is no longer an official, he is still considered one of the leading households in Pingyao County.

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Li Dahu is the relative of the county magistrate. If he really lost a large amount of property, even if it was for his own daughter, the county magistrate must solve the case immediately."

"That's not true." Wang Sheng said, "I heard that from this morning onwards, the gates of the city have been guarded by yamen guards. Everyone who leaves the city has to check their bags one by one, lest the thief steal their belongings out of the city."

Recalling the last life, it seems that such a thing happened.But at that time, Wang Qi was always thinking about Zhang Yunlin's condition, and had no time to pay attention to other things, and he didn't know if the thieves caught him in the end.

A gust of wind blew, and Wang Qi couldn't help shivering.

Wang Qi is afraid of the cold, which is a sequela from her previous life.When he was selling paintings on the street, he was maliciously punished by Jia Fugui and fell into the frozen river in the twelfth lunar month.Biting ice water and knife-cutting wind became his lingering nightmare.Since then, Wang Qi has suffered from problems, both physically and psychologically.As long as you enter the twelfth lunar month, you can't help shivering when you hear the wind and see ice, no matter how warm you wear it, it's useless.

Seeing that Wang Qi's complexion was not good, Wang Sheng was afraid that he would get a cold, so he hurriedly said: "Master, let's go quickly. It's too cold, you are not in good health, if you catch the cold, the old lady will complain again."

It sounds to others that the grandmother is worried about her grandson's health, but Wang Qi knows what Wang Sheng means.Wang Lishi would not worry about his health, but instead would blame him for being ill during the Chinese New Year, adding to the bad luck.

The wind became more and more bitter, and Wang Qi didn't want to make things difficult for herself, so she had to put the matter of the robbers behind her, wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, and led Wang Sheng towards Gubaozhai.

Although this place is not far from Gubaozhai, there are too many people on the street, and there are government servants who come and go to check.The two walked all the way, and it took a little time.

"Brother Wushuang, business is booming." Seeing Dong Jue, Wang Qi smiled and said hello.

Dong Jue hastily cupped his hands in return: "Brother Qiongju is here, hurry up, please come inside."

After ordering Wang Sheng to wait outside, Wang Qi followed Dong Jue into the private room inside.

"I know that Brother Qiongju is obsessed with cleanliness. Unfortunately, there have been many customers in the past two days. The cups in the store have been used, and the servants are too busy to wash them. Most of them are lazy and save trouble. They barely make a rinse and then take it to make tea, so I I won’t serve you any more tea, anyway, you won’t stain your mouth when the tea is brewed, so it’s not enough to waste my good tea.” The two of them are very familiar with each other, and Dong Jue said calmly without being polite.

Hearing this, Wang Qi couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he did have a cleanliness habit in his last life.But since he was kicked out of the house, he has lived a poor life, and he has not paid so much attention to it.Now that she is reborn, it is not easy to change all her cleanliness all at once, anyway, she did not come here today to drink tea.

Wang Qi took advantage of the situation and said: "Brother Wushuang understands me, so there is no need to be so polite between you and me. I see people coming and going in Gubaozhai, which is much more lively than Zhenbao Pavilion opposite. In terms of momentum, Zhenbao Pavilion still can't beat Gubaozhai."

Dong Jue waved his hands again and again, "Isn't it the New Year's Eve, it's time to give gifts. Although Zhenbao Pavilion is stronger than me in terms of financial resources and strength, it suffers because it is a new store, and its reputation and reputation are not as good as our Gubaozhai."

Wang Qi can understand.If you send out a counterfeit as a gift, not only will you not be able to curry favor with others, but it will also be very boring, and more seriously, it will miss your future prospects, so everyone is very cautious.Although Gubaozhai opened in the county, it is a time-honored brand for many years. In the early years, it sold several rare and rare paintings, and its reputation is very famous.Not to mention Pingyao County, but many officials in the county come here to pick out calligraphy and painting antiques.

"However, Zhenbao Pavilion has adults from the county as the backstage. They are rich and powerful. I heard that they have already received a lot of valuable calligraphy and paintings. My place is just looking lively, but those high-ranking adults have already gone. Treasure Pavilion. If they come out with something good this year, it will be hard to say next year." Dong Jue said worriedly: "Brother Qiongju, those calligraphy and paintings you sent are also in my It's been here for so long, you really don't plan to sell it to me?"

Before, Wang Qi sent four calligraphy and paintings for Dong Jue to help keep.Listening to what Dong Jue said now, it seems that he has already checked the authenticity of those paintings for him.

Wang Qi understood: "Why, don't you suspect that my paintings and calligraphy are fakes?"

Dong Jue smiled embarrassingly, and said: "Brother, I can't see gold and jade, and I blamed Brother Qiongju. At that time, you gave me the four calligraphy and paintings, and let me keep them for you temporarily. Even if I want to destroy My head, I never imagined that you could take out four authentic calligraphy and paintings of ancient people in one go."

"Why do you believe it now?" Wang Qi asked with a smile.

Dong Jue didn't hold back, and said frankly: "It's not my elder brother. He is a dog. He has a very good nose. There is no good thing that can smell it. To tell you the truth, you sent the things within a few days. My elder brother found out. He straightened his eyes when he saw it, and immediately invited a master to come over to appraise it, and it turned out that they were all authentic works. My elder brother asked you to buy those calligraphy and paintings at the time, if I didn’t know that you didn’t want to make public, Stop it desperately, I am afraid he has already knocked down the door of your house."

"Brother Dong really has better vision than you." Wang Qi half-jokingly said.

Ignoring Wang Qi's ridicule, Dong Jue leaned forward and said, "Brother Qiongju, others don't understand you, but I don't understand you? You don't like socializing, and you don't go outside the door all day long. Even Pingyao County seldom goes out, where did I find these authentic calligraphy and paintings?"

"It's just luck." Wang Qi lowered her head and smiled.

"Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu Tu" and "Nvshi Zhen Tu", Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Sunny Post", and Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Post", any one of these four is a rare masterpiece. My eldest brother and I have been in the antique calligraphy and painting industry for so many years, how come we haven't met your luck?" Dong Jue naturally didn't believe it.

Looking at Dong Jue's "hungry for knowledge" face, Wang Qi smiled slightly.Of course, he was fortunate enough to get these four calligraphy and paintings not because of luck, but because of his experience in the previous life.
