After breaking up with Huang Degong, Wu Zheng returned to Wuzhuang with the sandalwood box.

After entering Zhuangzi, Wu Zheng went directly to Zhou Simin's residence.

Just at the door, Wu Zheng was stopped.

is different from the past, today it is not Xiaoman who is stopping Wu Zheng, but Uncle Zheng.

"Uncle Zheng, what do you mean by this?" Wu Zheng asked with a slightly drunken glare.

"Master Wu, go back, Childe has already rested."

"It's just over time, how can there be a reason to go to bed so early?"

"Childe was unwell, so he lay down earlier."

Wu Zheng looked at Uncle Zheng, a little annoyed in his heart, just imagine coming in a hurry, eating a slap of closed door, and no one is in a bad mood.

"Annoyed Uncle Zheng to go in and report it, just say that I have something to find my brother-in-law."

"Lord Wu, let's come back tomorrow. It's night, after all...... Men and women should be treated differently. ”

Wu Zheng was annoyed, "Lao Zheng, Young Master Ben sees that you are a loyal person, so he respects you for three points." Don't go too far? Get out of the way. ”

Uncle Zheng has a dead face, but he won't let it.

Wu Zheng was furious and dragged Uncle Zheng away, "You are just a subordinate, even if Zhou Simin is a woman, then he and I are also brothers...... Brother and sister, it is not late at night, in front of you and Xiaoman, this young master came to see the righteous sister, where did the defense of men and women come from? If you dare to block it, don't blame Young Master Ben for turning his face and not recognizing people. ”

At this time, Zhou Simin's cold voice came from the room, "Wu Zheng, what do you want to do?" ”

Wu Zheng scolded as he walked: "First Xiaoman, then Uncle Zheng, three times and twice against me, you are good, you still call Brother in the morning, this is not a few hours, just one Wu Zheng, I want to ask, what do you want to ......do?" ”

When he entered the house, seeing Zhou Simin looking at him coldly, Wu Zheng swallowed some complaints.

In this world, there are people whose eyes can speak.

Of course, if you can read it.

Wu Zheng could understand it, so he swallowed his complaints.

"Sister-in-law, I'm just here to see you, by the way...... Uh, by the way, I got a good thing today and I want to show you it. ”

As he spoke, Wu Zheng put the wooden box on the table, and then pulled the lid open.

Zhou Simin squinted at it, "I've seen it." Can you go back? ”

Wu Zheng said embarrassedly: "The person who gave me the Jade Buddha said that this is a thing of the late Tang Dynasty, although the Wu family is considered a wealthy family, but they are not proficient in this kind of artifacts of the former dynasty." I thought that my sister was born in a famous family, and I wanted to have some insight into this jade Buddha, so I just wanted to ask, is this jade Buddha valuable? ”

When Zhou Simin heard this, he looked at the Jade Buddha again and said, "I am also a layman in appreciating antiquities, and I can't help you." ”

Wu Zheng was a little disappointed, "I originally thought that if it was valuable, I would sell it so that I could add some clothes and utensils to the people by the sea, but I saw that the weather was about to turn cold." That's it, let's rest and say goodbye. ”

With that, he reached for the wooden box and put it away.

"Wait." Zhou Simin said.

"What's the matter with my sister?"

"I don't know how to appreciate it, but there are people here who do."

Wu Zheng asked, "Who?" ”

Zhou Simin lowered his face and said, "Uncle Zheng." ”

"Uh......." Wu Zheng was embarrassed, looked at Uncle Zheng, and was speechless for a while.

Zhou Simin said: "Uncle Zheng, for the sake of his good intentions and for the sake of helping the poor people, let's help him take a look." ”

Uncle Zheng ignored Wu Zheng and bowed to Zhou Simin: "Yes." ”

Walking forward, Uncle Zheng took out the jade Buddha from the wooden box with both hands, and carefully looked at it a few times.

Then he said: "The old slave is just a layman, but he has seen and heard a lot of jade before. According to the old slave's knowledge, the jade of the Tang Dynasty was mainly made of Khotanese green and white jade, and in the middle and late periods, the funeral jade was extinct, and the Buddhist jade, practical jade utensils, and ornamental jade were the mainstays. Buddhist jade is mainly based on jade Buddha and flying jade. This jade Buddha material, carving is superior, although I dare not say that it must be a thing of the late Tang Dynasty, but it should be eight or nine not far from ten. ”

Wu Zheng was in a fog when he heard this, so he simply asked, "Uncle Zheng said clearly, is this Jade Buddha worth anything?" ”

"Worth the money."

"Uh...... How much silver is it worth? ”

"If nothing else, let's just say that this piece of jade is worth at least a thousand taels of silver."

Wu Zheng took a breath of cool air, and a seven-grade county order was a thousand taels of silver as soon as he gave it away.

really responded to a sentence, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

"I didn't expect this dog official to be really generous." Wu Zheng shook his head and said with emotion.

I didn't want Zhou Simin to hear it, so I asked in a cold voice: "The dog official you said in your mouth, but what about the Huang County Order?" ”

"Yes, I invited him to eat and drink in the evening, and he gave me this jade Buddha, saying that he had been with him for more than ten years."

Zhou Sishi said angrily: "You know that he colluded with important officials of the imperial court, secretly communicated with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and feasted with him, and received such a heavy gift from him, ...... You....... ”

Wu Zheng looked at it and hurriedly said, "Sister Yi, don't be anxious, listen to me first." ”

Wu Zheng discussed with Li Ruhai how to steal secret letters from the internal office, and told Zhou Simin one by one.

Zhou Simin's face turned pale, "Even so, you shouldn't accept this gift from him." A gentleman is more important than righteousness, and since you don't want to be in the same stream with him, why should you accept heavy gifts from him? ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, "Sister Yi, the jade used by this jade Buddha was not picked by him, right?" This jade Buddha wasn't carved by him, right? This jade Buddha just passed through his hand and came into my hand. It is said that those who are virtuous live in it, and those who are not virtuous are lost. Therefore, the Jade Buddha came to my hands, which just proves that he has no virtue and I am virtuous. ”

Zhou Simin was stunned by Wu Zheng's crooked arguments.

Wu Zheng said with a smile, "Righteous sister, don't worry, no matter how you get it, as long as you use it for good deeds, it's a good thing." Tomorrow I will go to Shining Street and sell it in exchange for winter for the people. ”

Hearing Wu Zheng say this, Uncle Zheng sighed slightly.

When Wu Zheng heard this, he turned around and asked, "Uncle Zheng doesn't have something to say?" ”

Uncle Zheng said: "Such a beautiful thing should be kept at home as a heirloom, and it was sold...... Hey, that's a pity. ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said: "No matter how good it is, it's just a dead thing, it can't be eaten as food, isn't it more worth it to solve the worries of those people for the winter?" Besides, in the world now, even if you keep it, maybe when the Qing army will go south and be robbed. Righteous sister, rest early, Wu Zheng said goodbye. ”

After speaking, Wu Zhengle walked away.

Zhou Simin looked at Wu Zhengdi's back and sighed: "I really don't know if he is true or false, whether he is loyal or traitorous, I always feel that what he said is wrong, but when I think about it, I feel right." Is there such a person in the world? ”

Uncle Zheng nodded and said: "The slave is also a little confused, listening to his words and watching his deeds, sometimes open-minded, sometimes insidious and vulgar, but often in this seemingly insidious and vulgar, people can't help but feel ...... Admiration. Belch...... The slave lost his words, and hoped that the son would forgive his sins. ”

Zhou Simin waved his hand casually and said, "What's the crime?" ”

Xiao Man suddenly spoke: "I'm really tired to hear you guys, it's actually very simple, he is a casual person." ”

Zhou Simin looked at Uncle Zheng when he heard this, and said in his heart, is it really casual?
