Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 20
As soon as these words came out, the hall became strangely quiet, and everyone looked at the painting with a strange look in their eyes.

A smile flashed in Su Jingning's eyes, the fifth prince was sent by heaven to help her!
At this time, the Seventh Prince was surprised and said: "Why would Fifth Brother think like this? Xi just can't bear the embarrassment between the two of them. As for Hua'er..."

He seemed to be smiling, and said very leniently: "If Ming Zhi and Miss San think there are any problems, you can speak up, don't be embarrassed."

Su Jingning couldn't help sneering in her heart, the Seventh Prince is really not a fuel-efficient lamp at such a young age.

He must have noticed that something was wrong, and seeing that it would be useless to cover it up, he simply pierced it himself, but it seemed frank.

Su Jingning raised her head and looked at someone standing above him, her eyes flickered slightly.

After laying the groundwork for so much, it's time for this son to act!

Sure enough, the next moment Shen Lingze answered the conversation with a smile.

"Why should Uncle Fifth and Uncle Seven bother about these insignificant matters? Ze has just said that this painting is indeed a masterpiece."

Just saying that it is a masterpiece but not mentioning the authenticity of the work, there is no such thing as 300 taels of silver here!

Sure enough, the Seventh Prince was silent for a few breaths and then sighed: "Ming Zhi's better to speak directly, there is no need to evade any more."

Shen Lingze looked forced and helpless when he heard the words.

He said: "Since Uncle Qi Huang said so, then Ze has no choice but to obey."

Then he turned to look at Kong Hanlin,
"Hanlin also sees that this painting is not the authentic work of Master Meng!"

Kong Hanlin touched his gray beard embarrassingly.

But it was because he noticed it, and he didn't dare to offend the Bo family, that's why he dragged Shen Lingze into the water.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Bo Sizheng said in disbelief: "How is it possible? I have checked with many famous experts, but I didn't find any problems!"

Shen Lingze was a little displeased when he heard the words: "Is Mr. Bo doubting my judgment?"

Bo Sizheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "Don't dare..."

Only then did Shen Lingze's expression soften a little.

Kong Hanlin said with a wry smile: "Young Master Bo, don't worry, it's because this painter is too skilled. If I hadn't studied Master Meng's works for a long time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to detect it."

Shen Lingze also nodded and said: "This painting is almost unreal, only a slight flaw in the hidden place, I am afraid it was left on purpose by the painter."

The expressions of all the people in the hall became subtle.

The Bo family has inherited the blood of literati for hundreds of years, and they have always claimed to be a scholarly family, but they did not expect that the painting dedicated to their ancestors was actually a fake!
It's a big shame this time!

If this matter gets out, I don't know how many people will secretly laugh at it!
All the members of the Bo family were embarrassed, and Bo Sizheng, who gave the painting, blushed to the point of bleeding.

"Zheng's eyesight is so shallow that he didn't see that it was a fake painting. I'm really ashamed..." Bo Sizheng opened his mouth with difficulty, shaking his lips.

Then Bo Fang also cupped his hands and said with a wry smile: "The children and grandchildren in the family are not good at learning, and they showed their eyes in front of you. I hope you will be tolerant!"

No matter what the people present were thinking, they were busy saying nothing.

At this time, the seventh prince also said with a smile:

"Why do uncle and nephew Zhengxian care so much? As the saying goes, the ruler is short, but the inch is long. Just like Xi is good at calligraphy but not good at poetry, although nephew Zhengxian has a little lack of vision, he must have other good strengths, so why belittle yourself? !"

"Your Highness is absolutely right, it's because my nephew is narrow-minded." Bo Sizheng clasped his fists gratefully upon hearing this.

Kong Hanlin also said: "Young Master Bo is not to blame for this matter, the imitation of this painting is so perfect that anyone who is negligent will recognize it as authentic!"

"Oh?" The fifth prince said sarcastic remarks again, "It seems that Miss Su is indeed very knowledgeable, and she is better than many of these people!"

Bo Sizheng's calm face immediately turned dark again...

Su Jingning said with a smile, "Your Highness the Fifth Highness is absurd. In fact, the level of the little girl is only rough. There is another reason why I can find that this painting is tricky."

Kong Hanlin couldn't help wondering: "How did Miss Su find out?"

Su Jingning said: "The seal at the bottom of this painting should have been imitated by Ding Bao, the master seal carver of this dynasty. Because the little girl is more familiar with master Ding Bao's seal cutting style, so I can recognize it by luck!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this reason was much easier to accept.

However, Shen Lingze raised his eyebrows looking at the figure looming from behind the screen.

Master Ding Bao's engraved seal is rarely circulated outside, why is she so familiar with a little girl?
The fifth prince here is still stalking: "Then you said that this painting is worthy of being a famous painting, is it nonsense?"

The words were full of malice.

Su Jingning replied calmly: "I personally think that the quality of a painting does not lie in its quality, but in its own meaning.

For example, this painting contains Mr. Bo's filial piety, so Mrs. Tai will cherish it no matter what its quality is.It is full of emotions, and my daughter thinks it is worthy of a famous painting. "

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall could not help showing obvious appreciation.

Although this young lady of the Su family was embarrassed, she was magnanimous and generous. Not only did she not hurt the Bo family, but she also helped cover it up everywhere, which is really rare.

Bo Sizheng immediately thanked him gratefully.

The Seventh Prince also praised: "Miss Su has a bright moon in her bosom, and she has been taught."

Su Jingning hurriedly replied modestly, "Don't dare".

Immediately afterwards, the gentle voice of the Seventh Prince resounded in the hall: "Father always values ​​filial piety. Xi thought that the descendants of the Bo family took the trouble to give presents today, and Madam Bo was happy to accept the gift, which is the word of filial piety. As Miss Su San said, friendship is priceless , is a good painting!"

The words are full and full of atmosphere.

Seeing this, the others agreed one after another, no matter what their selfish thoughts were, now that Emperor Wensi was brought out, no one would be foolish enough to make trouble.

After all, nothing happened during the next banquet, all the guests went home after finishing the banquet.

On the way back, Mrs. Su specially asked Su Jingning to take a carriage with her.

As soon as he got in the car, He closed his eyes and meditated without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, Su Jingning was heartbroken.

This is to leave her alone on purpose!

Others might feel apprehensive.

But Su Jingning wouldn't do that.

She asked Mr. He if he wanted some tea, and if he wanted some snacks, which made Mr. He very annoying.

When He opened her eyes in displeasure, Su Jingning was looking at her innocently.

"Grandma, do you dislike your granddaughter?"

He subconsciously said, "Why?"

"Then why are you ignoring your granddaughter?"

He couldn't help being suffocated, and after a few breaths, he said: "I didn't ignore you, but I was a little tired."

Su Jingning then smiled and patted her chest: "Oh, that's good, otherwise the granddaughter will think grandma is angry!"

When He heard the words, he said, "Then why do you think I'm angry?"
