In two days, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all kinds of people in the Prayer Mansion are already busy with their feet not touching the ground. Hanging lanterns, preparing festive pastries, cleaning the courtyard, scrubbing furniture, there is always a lot to do.

Shen Ao and Wu San'er were assigned to scrub the furniture, and today Zhou Dashao went out early in the morning, and the two of them carried wooden barrels into Zhou Dashao's bedroom, one to wipe the floor, the other to wipe the tables and chairs, while pulling around.

Wu San'er is the most well-informed in the house, and tells Shen Ao the interesting stories in the house. Shen Ao was worried about the scholar in his heart, and asked, "Has the candidate for the scholar come out?" ”

Wu San'er said: "It's almost even, the head of the inner mansion recommended his distant nephew, and the lady said that he called to take a look, but I am afraid that there will be results in this one or two." I advise Brother Shen to be more down-to-earth, we are just a small guy in the house, and we can't compare to others. ”

Shen Ao was calculating in his heart, he must fight for this scholar.

Shen Ao is like this, either don't do it, or do your best. If you have made up your mind, you have to create conditions to complete it.

"San'er, you must be afraid that there will be no one to accompany you after I enter the inner mansion." Shen Aotian is an optimistic person, although he knows that it will be difficult to compete for this position, he is not worried at all.

Wu San'er said: "Who said that, I don't know how comfortable it is for me to live in a room alone when you leave." ”

"Really?" Shen Ao smiled, holding a rag and wiping the legs of the stool intentionally or unintentionally: "Staying alone in an empty room, this kind of widowhood is not pleasant." ”

Wu San'er also laughed.

At this time, a girl paced in and asked with a tiger face, "Who is the widow?" ”

This girl has a melon seed face, her skin is slightly plump, her nose is greasy, her eyebrows are big, and she is amiable. It was the Chun'er that Wu San'er said last night.

When Wu San'er saw Chun'er, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak anymore, and her hand holding the rag rubbed the floor vigorously. However, Shen Ao didn't have any fear at all, and said with a smile: "Of course it's not Miss Chun'er." ”

Chun'er said angrily, "How do you know my name?" ”

"It's over, it's goof." Shen Ao glanced at Wu San'er, and was thinking about whether to confess this guy, the last time Chun'er passed by from the outer mansion, it was this guy who pointed him out. Otherwise, a girl and a small girl, one in the inner house and one in the outer courtyard, how can she know the name of the family?

"Looks like I have to betray you." Shen Ao looked at Wu San'er with ill intentions, snickering in his heart, and was about to 'confess'.

Chun'er didn't have the mind to study exhaustively, and glanced at Shen Ao deeply: "You, follow me to the outer courtyard to move Madame's potted plants." ”

Shen Ao shook his head: "The main thing is to say, today he and I are only responsible for scrubbing, Miss Chun'er should find someone else." ”

"I just told you to go!" Chun'er stomped her feet, no one in the house dared to talk to her like this.

"Why did Miss Chun'er call me there? It's amazing, could it be that I have taken a fancy to my father...... Little guy? Shen Ao squinted his eyes and looked at Chun'er with ill will.

Shen Ao's method of staring at people was called electric eyes in later generations, and in this era, it can barely be called eyebrows and affection. Chun'er was looked at by Shen Ao unscrupulously, and suddenly lost her confidence, after all, it was her daughter's family, and no matter how fierce she was, she couldn't be fierce.

"Ahem...... Miss Chun'er, we can't do it. Shen Ao put down the rag and stood up straight, with a bit of a handsome boy's demeanor. His eyes stared at Chun'er, and he said as he approached her step by step.

"What, what can't be?" A trace of confusion crossed Chun'er's clear eyes?

"That...... That's it...... You know? ”

"Which? I don't understand. Chun'er suddenly found that the little girl opposite was so bold, in front of Madame's personal girl, she was suddenly pasted over, and she could almost smell the other party's breathing.

"What's that? What do you know that mean? When did a disciple come into the house? Should I call for help? It doesn't seem to be very good, this guy looks very likable, why is he wandering like this? ”

Chun'er found that her face was so hot that she had countless thoughts in her heart.

"Hey, I'll shout if you come over again."

Shen Ao took another step, and the boots had already touched Chun'er's embroidered shoes: "Doesn't Miss Chun'er understand it yet?" ”

"I don't understand!" Chun'er's voice was faint like a mosquito's groan.

Shen Ao smiled: "It's me and him......" His finger pointed at the stunned Wu San'er: "It's impossible...... It's impossible to move any potted plants with Miss Chun'er, Miss Chun'er understands now, right? ”

Dealing with this kind of little girl, Shen Ao didn't have his hands on it, and he caught Chun'er off guard all of a sudden.

"So that's ......" Chun'er sighed, and then felt that she was being teased by Shen Ao, and glared at Shen Ao angrily: "You are so angry, you dare not listen to my words, I will tell Madame." ”

"Hey, hey......" Shen Ao grabbed her: "You won't be so stingy, it's just a joke." ”

"Who's kidding you?" Chun'er blurted out, and found that her hand was actually held by Shen Ao. She was about to shake off as if she was electrocuted, but she couldn't break free, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears swirled in her eyes: "You bully me, you bully me, I want to tell Mrs. ......"

"It's really a child's surname, crying at every turn, and suing at every turn."

Shen Ao let go of her and said, "Okay, okay, I'll move with you." ”

Chun'er bit her lip and glared at him: "You are not a good person. ”

Shen Ao shrugged: "Look, as soon as you come in, you shout and point. Who is not a good person? We also have good self-esteem. ”

"Self-esteem? I've never heard this say from a young guy. Chun'er thought in her heart, in fact, a person like her who has a little girl's surname is not bad, but the lady loves and respects the people under her, and she always develops some arrogance. At this time, his heart softened, and he said in a soft tone: "Then can you please go and move potted plants for Madame?" ”

Shen Ao held his chin and thought seriously for a moment, and said, "Okay, then this ...... The little guy is reluctant to make it difficult. ”

Chun'er burst into tears and laughed: "You are really interesting." ”

Shen Ao had just put down the rag when a headless and brainless man let out a whining sound and rushed in madly.

"Chun'er is also there? Haha, it's just right, hurry, frame this painting for my son......" Zhou Heng took a picture scroll and said excitedly.

His eyes fell on Shen Ao: "You, immediately take my name post, go and invite people, tomorrow I will ask them to come to the house to drink in the morning, and several sons in the capital will be invited, and none of them are allowed to be pulled down." ”

Zhou Heng crossed his waist energetically: "I want to let the people in the whole capital know, let everyone come to appreciate the light, and let them see the famous painting given to me by the county lord of Qinghe." Haha, I, Zhou Heng, am suave and brilliant, and it is only a matter of time before I get the favor of the county lord of Qinghe. ”

Shen Ao's eyes suddenly fell out, it is said that the county lord of Qinghe is not only as beautiful as a flower, but also has a high attainment in poetry and painting, such a great beauty will look at Zhou Heng? Also send a famous painting?

Shen Ao went to pick up Zhou Heng's paintings, and said: "Childe, I am the best at framing the picture scroll, let me frame it for Childe." ”

While speaking, while unfolding the picture scroll on the table of the eight immortals, a picture was displayed in Zhou Heng's eyes, this painting is "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", only four sages are left in the picture, the faces, postures, and expressions of the four sages are different, and supplemented by waiters and utensils, enriching the characteristics of their surnames.

"Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest?" Shen Ao's eyes were green, and he stared at the mountain stone in the painting in a daze, outlining the outline with thin and soft lines, and perfectly rubbing out the texture of the mountain stone. And then there is the uninhibited attitude of the sage who sits or lies down. This work of the Tang Dynasty Sun Throne almost vividly portrays the demeanor and demeanor of the seven sages.

Only fragments of the Seven Sages remained, and there were only four sages left, but in later generations, this work had no price.

"Priceless." Shen Ao sighed in his heart.

Zhou Heng said proudly on the side: "It is the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, the county lord gave her to me, presumably because of the discerning torch, and regarded me as a sage." Haha......"

"TMD, something." Shen Ao cursed in his heart, and the gaze of the Seven Sages suddenly paused, and then he laughed.

"Childe, this picture is a fake."

"Fake?" Zhou Heng's eyes were about to fall, and then he scolded: "What do you know?" This is the county lord's intention, how can he be a lie......" Although he said this, he was still a little unconfident in his heart, and stretched his neck to look.

Shen Ao pointed to the waiter in the picture: "Childe, look, this picture is extremely cleverly forged. It's just that the waiter's pen line is a bit stiff, and there is a ...... here" Shen Ao pressed on the painting, and a trace of ink immediately appeared on his fingers: "The ink is not dry, it is obviously a new work." Look at this inscription again, although this person is good at forging famous paintings, but forging other people's handwriting is obviously a little rusty, the author of this painting, Sun Wei, is not informal, the inscription should be done in one go, but there are obvious traces of copying here. ”

Shen Ao took a deep breath: "Besides, this painting is rumored to be a thing in the palace, and it is collected by Jinshang, even if it is given to the county lord of Qinghe, how can the county lord of Qinghe give it away easily?" ”

Zhou Heng's face turned green, he didn't dare to believe Shen Ao's words, and he had to believe it, what this guy said was the Tao, and he showed such determination, it was difficult for Zhou Heng to believe it or not.

"You know how to draw, too?"

Shen Ao smiled slightly: "I know a little bit about it." The mouth is modest, but the heart is more horizontal than Zhou Heng, and he can't wait to say to Zhou Heng: "There are not 1,000 but 800 famous paintings forged by Lao Tzu, only the microscope of later generations can see the flaws, and the identification of famous paintings is not the same as playing?" ”

Zhou Heng frowned: "Since it's a fake, why didn't the county lord of Qinghe tell this son?" What does this mean? Could it be that you want to take the school-based exam? ”

Shen Ao said: "I'm afraid that Qinghe County will embarrass the son." ”

"Childe, do you think that with Childe's person, will you invite someone to see this painting?"

Zhou Heng nodded: "My son has a wide range of friends, so naturally there will be many friends who will come to appreciate it together." ”

"That's it, there are more people who see it, and everyone knows that the county lord gave Gongzi a famous painting. But there will always be a time, someone will see the flaw, right? ”

Zhou Heng thought for a while and said, "There is nothing wrong. ”

Shen Ao continued: "Everyone knows about this matter, but once it is found out that this is a fake painting, what will others say? ”

Zhou Heng's face turned blue: "There will definitely be many people who will see me laughing." said that this son has no eyesight, and he can't even distinguish a fake painting. ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that there are more than these, people's words are terrifying, maybe some people will say that the toad wants to eat swan meat." ”

"Who dares to say?" Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Quick, put this painting away, don't let people mention this matter." ”

Fang Cai is still excited, but now Zhou Heng is like a defeated rooster. I was secretly glad in my heart, fortunately, fortunately, this fake painting was discovered in time, otherwise I really had to invite someone to see it, but I was afraid that the entire Bianjing City would laugh at my son in a few days.

"The county lord sent Ben Gongzi a fake painting, is it really humiliating to me? Wow...... No, I can't swallow that, what's your name? Zhou Heng looked at Shen Ao seriously this time, and only felt that this little guy was a little familiar, but in his opinion, most of the people were the same.

"My name is Shen Ao."

Zhou Heng clenched his fists and said, "Shen Ao? Come with me, go to the county lord, I will go and question her, what is her intention? ”

Shen Ao hurriedly stopped: "Childe can't go." ”

"Why?" Zhou Hengfei is used to being domineering, where can he stand this anger, the nameless fire in his stomach is about to attack.

Shen Ao said: "Even if the son goes, it will be useless, I have an idea." ”

"Childe, you think, the county lord thinks Childe is a grass ...... Bao, deliberately humiliating the son with a fake painting, why don't we also forge a picture of the Seven Sages and give it back to her, first, to tell her that her tricks have been uncovered by us, and second, to let her see our means. ”

"Fake the Seven Sages?" Zhou Heng shouted in surprise: "Although this son has some talent, he can only copy ducks, chickens and whatnot, and the Seven Sages are not good at it." ”

"nm bales." Shen Ao resisted the urge to kick him to death.

"I have a little bit of experience in making ancient paintings." Shen Ao rolled his eyes with a ghostly heart, and Mao recommended himself.

"Oh? Will you? Zhou Henghu glanced at Shen Ao suspiciously.

Shen Ao said: "It's not that I'm bragging, the level of copying is at least higher than this painting." ”

"That's good, God help me. Shen Ao, right, now you don't have to do chores, give me a copy of the Seven Sages immediately, and after the matter is completed, my son will be rewarded, haha......" Zhou Heng turned his anger into joy, took out a paper fan from his waist, and shook it in a very chic manner.

"Dare to underestimate this son, hehe, let you open your eyes when the time comes." Zhou Heng thought of giving back a picture of the Seven Sages to the county lord of Qinghe, and he laughed heartily again.

Shen Ao pursed his lips: "If you want to paint, I'm afraid it's not so easy, for example, this Seven Sages Diagram is made by Sun Wei in the Tang Dynasty, and these Seven Sages Diagram is made of Shu paper in the Tang Dynasty, painted with Hui ink, but these two things are expensive......

Zhou Heng shook the paper fan and interrupted Shen Ao and said, "It's not a problem, it's not a problem, my son will buy it." ”

Shen Ao said again: "And to make a fake painting, it takes a lot of time, and a few people are needed, so it's better to ask Miss Xiang'er and Wu San'er to be my assistants." ”

Zhou Heng said: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem, I'll go and tell my mother about Xiang'er." ”

Shen Aotu saw the dagger and smiled slightly: "I heard that Gongzi needs a scholar?" What does Childe think of me? ”

Zhou Heng said angrily: "You are a subordinate, this son can afford you, where do you come from so much nonsense?" ”

Shen Ao laughed and said, "Childe, it's not easy to choose a good scholar. For example, a scholar can draw some pictures for his son, copy some calligraphy or something. Childe doesn't just want a little follower, does he? ”

Zhou Heng's paper fan paused, tilted his head and thought for a while: "Okay, as long as the painting is copied, I will go and tell my mother that I will let you be my scholar." ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Shen Ao stretched out his palm.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Heng was stunned.

"High fives for vows."

"Haha, interesting! It's not a problem, it's not a problem, I'll give you a high-five. Zhou Hengda smiled and stretched out his palm.
