In the evening, Director Zhao said goodbye, Shen Ao personally sent him out, and said to him with a very grateful look: "Director Zhao's words made me realize that we will be closer and closer in the future, maybe we will have to rely on Director Zhao for help in many things in the future!" ”

Director Zhao held his hand and said with a very bold look: "I'm a very talkative person, especially for juniors like you, if there is anything to order." ”

After saying goodbye, Director Zhao ran to the pavilion to ponder with all his heart, no matter how you look at this Shen Ao, it makes people feel very simple, but this proves that this person must be a cunning person who is outside and round inside.

It's just that how did he win the trust of Guogong and make Guogong favor him?

Director Zhao thought about breaking his head, and he couldn't think of the crux of the problem. Now Shen Ao's momentum in the Inner Mansion is like Zhongtian, and the Duke and Mrs. are shielding him, making him, the head of the Inner Mansion, very discouraged.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that this main thing will not be able to continue, no, I can't just admit defeat like this, Shen Ao, Shen Ao, if I can't even clean you up, my life will be in vain.

After making up his mind, Chief Zhao began to sort it out, first of all, he had to get the words out from Shen Ao, what kind of means did he use to confuse Guogong, knowing the advantages of this kid, and then taking the next step.

"Okay, let's do it!" Director Zhao made up his mind, so he hurried to the dining room, which led directly to the underground wine cellar, only Director Zhao was equipped with a key, and there were countless wines in it.

Director Zhao instructed the cook: "Make a few side dishes and send them to Shen Shutong's house." ”

The cook didn't dare to ask more, and agreed as if to please.

Director Zhao returned to Shen Ao's residence, hugged the small wine jar and said loudly: "Shen Shutong, Shen Shutong ......"

Shen Ao pushed open the window and poked his head out: "Ah, it's Director Zhao again, did Director Zhao leave something behind?" ”

Director Zhao said with a smile: "It's rare to hide today, I have a jar of good bamboo leaf wine here, and I can drink a few cups with Shen Shutong today." ”

Shen Ao went downstairs and opened the door for Director Zhao, while saying, "Lord Zhao is too polite, I should have invited Director Zhao to drink." ”

"It's okay!" Director Zhao entered the house and said with a pleasant face: "I have a very close relationship with Shen Shutong, and if I don't look up and look down in the inner mansion in the future, I have long wanted to make friends with you." ”

Shen Ao hurriedly went to prepare the tables and chairs, took the wine jar of Director Zhao and said, "Director Zhao is bothered. ”

There are no wine glasses in the room, there are still dishes, and Shen Ao is not attached to any elegance, so he directly poured the wine with a blue and white bowl, and said in his mouth: "Shen Ao first respects Zhao's chief for a bowl." ”

Director Zhao drank, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and said, "Let's drink slowly, someone will send the wine and food later, we won't get drunk tonight." ”

Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "Shen Ao is very shallow, I'm afraid that I won't get drunk without two bowls, and at that time, I will ask Director Zhao to laugh." ”

Director Zhao smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so you can drink it boldly." ”

At this time, the wine was not pure, a bowl of wine was in the stomach, although Shen Ao said that his alcohol was shallow, in fact, there was no pressure at all, but it was Zhao who was in charge, and his face was already slightly red.

With a little drunkenness, the two of them put down the shelf, and Director Zhao chattered: "Shen Shutong, you seem to be very familiar with Chun'er these days?" He patted his chest and said with a smile: "If you have a heart, I will go and talk to my wife, so that you can be married forever, haha, don't forget me as a big matchmaker when the time comes." ”

Shen Ao scolded in his heart: "Chun'er and I still need you to be a matchmaker, and the dog takes the mouse." His face was slightly red, and he said a little arrogantly: "Master Zhao has a heart, this matter is not in a hurry, wait and talk." ”

At this time, a cook brought snacks, all of which were cooked beef, pork liver, chicken offal and other meats, Shen Ao tasted a bite of chicken offal, and immediately felt like scolding in his heart. Anyway, it's really the same person's life, his scholar's food is also eaten in the dining room, why is the dish called by Director Zhao and the taste he usually eats is different, dare to love these cooks are treated separately, and it takes a lot of effort for the prince, wife, and principal, and the next person to eat is fucking perfunctory?

Well, it seems that you still have to have ideals to be a person, and there is no future for being a person!

Shen Ao is deeply aware of the gap between them.

However, there is another point that can prove that these evil cooks really have no future, and they don't even inquire about the news in the dining room all day long, Shen Shutong has now become a big celebrity in front of the prince and his wife, they are still ignorant, it seems that these people have been a cook all their lives, and if they make a mistake, someone will retaliate.

The two of them chatted while drinking, and after a few bowls of wine, Shen Ao seemed a little exhausted and refused to drink again. Director Zhao blindly persuaded him to drink, and said: "Shen Shutong, let's stop after this bowl, come, come, come, I'll fill it for you." ”

When the bowl of wine was drunk, Director Zhao said again: "I am happy to drink today, and I will drink another bowl, you and I will see each other at first sight, don't you even want to appreciate the bowl of wine?" ”

Shen Ao had no choice but to continue drinking, his tongue had already begun to knot, and he said: "Master Zhao, this wine can no longer be drunk, and if you drink it again, I am afraid that I will not be able to reply to Guogong tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh?" Director Zhao pricked up his ears: "I don't know what to say?" ”

Shen Ao showed a hint of vigilance, and smiled stupidly: "I won't tell you." ”

Master Zhao was in a hurry, so he said, "Then drink again." As he spoke, he was going to pour wine for Shen Ao again.

Shen Ao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, I said, I said it's not okay?" and the wine shall be spared. He burped and said mysteriously, "Guogong has taken a fancy to one of my paintings." ”

"Painting?" Director Zhao suddenly felt that this painting must not be simple, what kind of person is Guogong, what rare treasures have not been seen, where can ordinary paintings get into his eyes, so he deliberately sneered: "There are many treasures in Guogong's collection, where will I see your paintings." ”

Shen Ao was anxious, patted the table and said, "Who...... Who says it's not worth it? This is the handwriting of the official, worth 10,000 gold, even if you have money, you can't buy it. Director Zhao, think about it, is the official's painting good? ”

"Naturally, it is excellent, and it is rumored that the official family is the most powerful painter in the past hundred years of my Great Song Dynasty."

Shen Ao stood up, rested on the stool with one foot, bent down to look at Director Zhao condescendingly, and said drunkly: "But are there any paintings of the official family in the market?" ”

Director Zhao thought for a while and said, "Who is the official family?" His paintings are naturally collected in the palace, and they will never flow out, and occasionally some hand-copied copies are also painted by some dignitaries and nobles who have seen the real works in the palace and returned home. ”

Shen Ao said loudly: "That's it, there is only one official painting in the market, and this painting is in my hand." ”

Director Zhao was skeptical, and said in his heart: "How can he have official paintings, this is impossible, right?" ”

But all kinds of signs made him have to believe it, otherwise how could Guogong suddenly change his opinion of Shen Ao?

Shen Ao laughed and said: "Director Zhao must not believe my words, okay, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire, speaking of which, the lawsuit I encountered yesterday was still drawn because of this." ”

"Oh?" Director Zhao's heart was raised, and he deliberately asked: "I only heard that it is related to a father-in-law, and it is a father-in-law who wants to sue you." ”

Shen Ao sneered: "Actually, this painting was stolen by Father-in-law Cao, he stole the painting and didn't dare to make a noise, but it happened to be given to me by me...... Haha......" He deliberately didn't say the specific process, let Director Zhao use his imagination, and continued: "Grandpa Cao knew that I stole his paintings, but he didn't dare to ask me blatantly, so he had to report to the official, but he said that I had defrauded his sister of his money, hehe...... In fact, he was a drunkard who didn't mean to drink, and deliberately wanted to use the government to force me to teach me to hand over the painting. This matter is too much to do, Chief Zhao, don't say it. ”

Director Zhao hurriedly said: "Don't say it, don't say it, if you say it, you're going to lose your head." He suddenly understood why Shen Ao was flickering in front of him, it turned out to be this reason. Connecting with the changes between Guogong and him, I am afraid that the truth of the matter is really related to the paintings of the official family.
