Shen Ao played with the agate ring in his hand, carefully looked at the traces and color on the ring, and knew in his heart, this ring is extraordinary, at least more than a hundred years of history, look at this way, it should be an antiquity of the Tang Dynasty, there is an open and open-minded process, before the Tang Dynasty, the ancients did not have the custom of wearing rings, so the ring ring is not common, and the process hesitates for a considerable period of time. In the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere gradually opened up, coupled with the integration of exotic customs, the ring gradually became an ornament, and because of this, many crafts gradually began to improve. The agate ring in Shen Ao's hand is quite fine, and the agate set in the ring is also very rare, but I am afraid that it was brought by a big food merchant from a foreign land.

Through this information, Shen Ao faintly guessed that this was most likely a treasure left by the court or prince, and its value should be more than five hundred yuan. Shen Ao glanced at Grandpa Cao, and thought to himself, where did Grandpa Cao get this ring? Soon he understood that Gonggong Cao was the deputy envoy of the Jiaofang, and his power was not great, but the oil and water were not small. Those official records were for the officials to have fun, and some officials would give some gifts, and these gifts often ended up in the hands of the eunuchs of the Jiaofang Division.

Whether it is the official, the song or the father-in-law Cao, this ring has not seen its cultural relics value, but this agate alone should be more than 100 times, and the father-in-law Cao scratches the bag, so he wears it on his hand to show off. If this dead eunuch knew that he was still wearing an antique, he was afraid that he would beat his chest even more.

Shen Ao put away the agate ring, and the wealth should not be exposed, this is the most reasonable statement, and it is also the code of art thieves.

Coughing, Shen Ao smiled and said to Gong Cao: "Hou Ya won't go, I still have something to do, change to Gong Cao and Lord Tongju to invite me to tea again." Then he walked up to the woman and said, "You are Mrs. Pan?" ”

Mrs. Pan had no support, and at this time she looked at Shen Ao with a cower, too frightened to speak, and nodded in fright.

Shen Ao sighed and said: "I didn't lie to Pan Ren, he was willing to exchange his net worth for my house, I heard that the owner of the Iya Mountain House is very good, and he is also a friend of Pan Ren, now Pan Ren is crazy, your life is gone, go to the Guya Mountain House every month, and get some money there." ”

Pan Ren is to blame for hurting the heavens and harming himself, but the disaster is not as good as his wife and children, so he can't teach his wives and children to starve to death!

Shen Ao's grievances are clear, although Mrs. Pan wants to trouble him, if she doesn't have this official painting, she is afraid that she has entered the class room now, but she still can't help but sympathize. He thought to himself: "Let Wu San'er pay her ten yuan every month, which is enough for her to survive." "Shen Ao's three views are still very positive, he is a thief, no better than those ninth-rate Liang Shang gentlemen, no money is absolutely impossible for him, but he is not omnipotent. Taking money out to help the people who should be helped is Shen Ao's principle, he can be shameless, he can be insidious, he can be cheating, but there is one thing, he can't destroy his conscience and principles to do things, he can be worse for bad people, and he can't be hard-hearted for innocent people, not to mention that this woman has her own reasons for falling to now.

There is an old saying, called thieves also have a way, this is the code between thieves, although it seems pedantic and ridiculous, it is Shen Ao's basic professional ethics.

Mrs. Pan was slightly stunned, thinking that Shen Ao would take the opportunity to take revenge, she almost couldn't believe her ears, and she didn't know whether to be grateful or resentful, so she was silent.

Shen Ao had already raised his legs and left, and when he arrived at Yakou, he nodded at the capital of the Jingzhao Mansion, and said, "I don't know the surname of the capital?" ”

This head hurriedly said respectfully: "Don't have your surname Zhang, Shen Gongzi can call me Zhang Wannian." He sighed in his heart, but fortunately, he didn't embarrass Shen Ao, otherwise it would be certain that he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

Shen Ao bowed his head at him and said with a smile: "Let's invite Zhang Dutou to drink tea." As he spoke, he raised his legs and walked into the crowd outside the ya.

Seeing the lively people have already made a fuss, they have not seen many bold people like Shen Ao since ancient times, especially the latter section is the most exciting, the general judgment and Cao Gonggong's deflated appearance made many people feel happy and applauded, but this enthusiasm came and went quickly, and after a while, everyone dispersed.

Shen Ao took a look, oh, Chen Ji is gone, this cheap teacher will not come to join in this fun, his reputation is too big, it is an eyesore here, but it is too unrighteous to do so, he was taken by the official, so he left with peace of mind?

Soon, Shen Ao's psychology was balanced, and Chen Ji, the painting of the official family, had also seen it, and he knew that he had brought the painting of the official family, and he must also know that he could save the day, and he didn't have to come to join in the excitement. Hey, this cheap teacher seems to be very scheming.

However, Zeng Sui'an didn't leave, and greeted Shen Ao with a smile: "Shen Gongzi is in danger, so it's good to be fine." ”

Zeng Suian's character is good, and Shen Ao said with some gratitude: "It made Zeng Gongzi bother." ”

After a lot of polite words, Zeng Sui'an agreed that Shen Ao would go to the Ya Mountain House for a small gathering in a few days, and then he said goodbye and left. Shen Ao was alone, walking on the street, occasionally a few familiar people greeted him, most of them knew Shen Ao, but Shen Ao didn't know them. Speaking of which, it's really a bit too much, first it's a poetry meeting, and then a lawsuit, all of which are shining, this firefly beetle is really difficult to do, it's too eye-catching.

…………………………

Shen Ao couldn't hide the news that he was taken by the official, and he had already left in the Qiguo Mansion, and his wife had just taken a lunch break and took a nap, teaching Zhou Ruo to sit in the pavilion in the back garden, and heard a few girls with broken mouths say what Shen Shutong had happened to the east window. Chun'er, who was standing behind her lady, changed her face and almost fainted, since she deceived Pan Ren that time, Chun'er has been worried, for fear that someone will trouble Shen Ao, but the more she worries, the more she comes, she is a person who can't hide her thoughts, her face is suddenly as pale as paper, holding on to the pavilion pillar, panting heavily.

Zhou Ruo frowned slightly, but he was silent, and he was a little anxious in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was worried about Shen Ao or something, he always felt that he couldn't spit out or swallow a breath in his chest. In front of her mother, she didn't have the slightest color, and she still had a smile on her face, but her beautiful eyes flashed a trace of worry.

Madame called the two girls with a tiger face and said, "What did you just say about Shen Shutong?" ”

The two girls didn't dare to hide it, and told the ups and downs of the foreign mansion, in fact, they didn't know much, they only knew that Shen Ao was escorted to Jingzhao Mansion by the official, and as for the rest, they didn't know anything.

Madame had a cold face and said to Zhou Ruo: "Shen Ao, this kid has always been good, how could he get into trouble with an official." ”

She asked, but she was a little skeptical, and she didn't quite believe the girls' words. Zhou Ruo said: "Mother, maybe someone wronged him. ”

"Yes, Shen Ao is a good boy, he will never do anything to bend the law, he is from the public government, he can't teach him to be bullied." Mrs. changed her kind face at this moment, and faintly, she was unusually calm and decisive, and instructed Chun'er: "Chun'er, you go to the master's study and teach the master, this matter needs to be brought forward by the master, I don't believe it, who is so bold and doesn't take the mansion in his eyes." Xiang'er, you go to find ...... Zhao" Mrs. originally wanted to call Zhao as the director, but suddenly she paused and changed her words: "Call Liu Wen of the Foreign Mansion, let him go to Jingzhao Mansion immediately to listen to the news, don't delay." ”

Chun'er and Xiang'er responded and left.

Zhou Ruo was determined in his heart, as long as his mother came forward, Shen Ao didn't have to worry about it, so he smiled and said: "Mother, this Shen Ao is really, he always has to make some trouble, but he is very good to his mother, a few days ago I saw him painting Buddha statues, saying that they were going to be hung in the incense hall." His paintings are very good. This is called suppressing first and then promoting, first saying that it is not inconsequential, and then praising it, so as not to make her mother suspicious and hide her thoughts, Miss Zhou's scheming is also very deep.

Madame exhaled, frowned, and said: "I like this kid very much, but now when he encounters this kind of thing, I always can't let go of it in my heart, hey......" sighed, and regained his kind eyebrows, faintly, a little melancholy rose between the eyebrows.

After a short time, Chun'er came back and said, "Madam, the master is not in the study. ”

Mrs. sighed and said, "Ping said that the master has eaten and read there all the books, why is he not here today?" She pondered for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, and said, "Then go find Heng'er, let him take his father's name to Jingzhao Mansion, and see what Jingzhao Mansion has to say." ”

Chun'er hesitated and said: "In the morning, the master also looked for the young master, saying that he was going to take the school exam, and the young master came back at noon and heard the rumors, saying that he was going to meet friends, but he has not seen anyone so far." ”

Zhou Heng is a slippery head, as soon as he heard that Zhou Zheng was looking for him, and when he heard that he was going to take the school examination, he had already slipped away, and he would never dare to come back.

Madame couldn't make up her mind at this time, so she had to say, "Then wait for Liu Wen to come back and see if there is any news." ”
