As soon as Shen Ao's words fell, Cai Lun's face immediately fell, sneered, and said, "What? Brother Shen also knows antiques? The words are ridiculed and disdainful, the Cai family's antique treasures are countless, Cai Lun is a little interested in appreciating treasures, with these treasures to practice, his eyesight is still very unique, a distant relative of the Guogong Mansion, dare to question his judgment?

In front of everyone, Cai Lun was very unhappy.

Shen Ao smiled slightly and said, "I understand a little, this jade has a good color, it does look like a gambling stone, why don't you look at its texture anymore." ”

The so-called gambling stone, in ancient times, was called jade, is a kind of jade, refers to the jadeite in the mining, there is a layer of weathered skin wrapped, can not know the quality of the inside, must be cut to know the quality; Most jadeite has skin, the thickness of the skin mainly depends on the degree of weathering, the high degree of weathering is thick, a piece of jadeite raw material skin is colored, the surface is very good, when cutting the first knife to see the green, but maybe the second knife when the green is gone, this is also a common thing.

This piece of jade is very similar to the gambling stone, and even if an insider sees it, he can guess that there is at least a piece of high-quality jade in it. It's just that Shen Ao has handled a lot of jade, and he can see the fame at a glance.

Cai Lun picked up the jade in his hand and took a closer look, there was nothing special, in fact, in this era without a microscope, small texture differences are not paid attention to by ordinary people, but Shen Ao is different, not that he has finer eyes than a microscope, but in the past, he has carefully compared the color and texture of many jade objects in various optical instruments, and now with the naked eye, he can still see a little difference.

Depending on the texture, there will be a slight change in the color and color of the whole body, and this change can be easily identified if you notice it carefully.

The prisoners on one side were also interested, and Shen Ao walked over and said, "I heard that there was a people in the north, called the Qiang people, who began to learn the customs of the Han people hundreds of years ago. For example, the jade cicada is admired in life and contained in death. The Qiang people are far away in the north of Xinjiang, and their lives are hard, so naturally there are no exquisite jade objects for burial. Therefore, they replaced it with a kind of jade, which is very similar to jade, which can be buried without carving, which is very convenient, very practical, and inexpensive. ”

When Cai Lun heard it, it was actually a jade cicada, and remembered that it was something that a dead man had in his mouth, and immediately shivered; Fortunately, his acting skills are good, and he still looks chic, pinching the jade and saying: "How can you see that this is the Qiang jade cicada?" ”

Shen Ao laughed: "It's very easy, you bite it, if the material of this jade is soft, it will naturally be a Qiang jade cicada, if the material is very hard and brittle, it is a gambling stone." ”

Cai Lun's face suddenly changed, take a bite? Biting your mother, maybe it was taken out of the mouth of a dead man!

But...... He insisted that this was a gambling stone, if he didn't dare to bite it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face, which was equivalent to admitting that this was a jade cicada, wow, what should I do.

His face was cloudy, the prisoners all looked at him, he couldn't put his face down, to bite or not to bite? That's a problem!

As soon as his fan was closed, he laughed instead, and casually threw the jade to the stall owner who sold antiques: "This jade doesn't matter how much the market value is, and this son can't look down on it, so I'll reward you." Saying that, he calmly opened his fan, still personable.

Even if there is only one chance that he is a jade cicada, Cai Lun will never take the risk of trying. It's just that this time, his smile was a little stiff, and when Shen Ao said this, his demeanor suddenly dimmed.

"This distant relative of the Prayer Mansion, hmph, there is always a saying to teach him to know how powerful this son is." Thinking like this in his heart, Cai Lun took a deep breath, laughed again, grabbed Shen Ao's hand and said, "Brother Shen is very knowledgeable, he even knows all this, haha." ”

Acting on the spot is what Shen Ao is best at, and he also said sincerely: "Compared to Cai Gongzi, it is far behind." The two men walked side by side, leaving the rest of the prisoners behind.

When he arrived at the gate of the Confucian Temple, there were a few merchants blocking the way, Cai Lun shook his fan and sneered: "These peddlers and pawns are really annoying, and the front of the saint is full of profit-seekers." ”

Shen Ao thought to himself: "Your grandfather's father is much greedy, and there are mountains of gold and silver at home, of course he doesn't seek profits!" What to drag? He said, "Yes, yes!" Perfunctory, he walked into the Confucian Temple.

In fact, the Confucian Temple of the Song Dynasty was not as magnificent as that built by later generations, but had more of the atmosphere of the market.

In the temple of Confucius, there are statues of Confucius, under which are Mencius and other disciples, one by one the statues are lifelike, displayed in turn, showing a very respectful appearance, serving the holy teacher in the main hall.

As soon as Cai Lun's eyes fell, he saw a statue in the bottom corner, and sneered: "Sima Junshi also deserves to enjoy cold pork, it's really weird." "It's very rude.

Shen Ao went to see the statue, and then looked at the inscription under it, and understood in his heart, it turned out that this person was Sima Guang, Sima Guang is also a generation of powerful ministers, brilliant writing, after the death of this person, someone carried him into the Confucian Temple, which shows that his reputation is still very high.

Cai Lun disdains Sima Guang, what is the reason? Shen Ao thought about it in his heart, and he understood that Cai Lun's grandfather's father Cai Jing used to be Wang Anshi's right-hand man to change the law, and when Wang Anshi was demoted and Sima Guang took the position, Cai Jing was unlucky, he was so badly cleaned by Sima Guang, so miserable, as a grandson, Cai Lun's sentence of scratching can be regarded as revenge for Cai Jing's old immortality.

Shen Ao just laughed, but saw a few plain-clothed bachelors coming over on the other side, and one of the handsome and extraordinary bachelors sneered: "If Mr. Junshi is not qualified to enjoy the Zongmiao, isn't it Brother Tai who is worthy of it?" ”

It's here to provoke, it seems that Cai Lun has met Sima Guang's fans.

Shen Ao smiled and quietly took a step back, this kind of thing, he will never participate, if you brothers want to Bian Cai Gongzi, Shen Ao welcomes it, maybe he will have to shout a few times.

Cai Lun glanced at these people and sneered: "It turned out to be a student, what a coincidence......"

It happened that Zhou Heng and the other prisoners chased after him, and the two teams of people got together and suddenly became tense.

"Oh, it turned out to be a Tai student, by the way, they do have a sachet tied around their waists, this sachet is very strange, it seems to be made according to ink paintings, could it be that this is the sign of the Tai student?"

The other party smiled slightly: "Brother Tai is right, we are indeed studying in Taixue, and in the next Cheng Hui, I don't know what to call the son?" ”

Cheng Hui? Everyone was stunned, except for Shen Ao, everyone knew that this Cheng Hui was the first guy in the Taixue year-end exam, some time ago, there were many rumors, saying that when the official family presided over the Taixue ceremony, he also personally met him and said a lot of words of encouragement, many people speculated that this kid would soar sooner or later, even if he entered the cabinet, it was not unexpected.

Cai Lun was not surprised at all, and said not to be outdone: "Contemptible Cai Lun." ”

Cai Lun is also one of the best figures in the country, ranking third in the final examination last year, coupled with a prominent family background, the limelight is naturally not weaker than Cheng Hui.

Cheng Hui was about to speak, but a student behind him laughed and said, "Cai Lun? I haven't heard of it, but I heard that there is a person named Wu Bi in Guozijian whose articles are passable, but I don't know if he came? ”

A trace of murder flashed in Cai Lun's eyes in an instant, this is too rude for the student, praising Wu Bi in front of him Cai Lun, is to admit that the best thing for Guozijian to make a fuss is Wu Bi and not him Cai Gongzi. This is a deliberate provocation. He sneered: "I don't know who Brother Tai is? ”

This person is very unruly, but his appearance is not outstanding, with a pockmarked face, a wine trough nose, and a pair of narrow eyes glanced at Cai Lun coldly: "Cai Gongzi can call me Xu Wei." ”

"Xu Wei?" Shen Ao seems to have some impression of this name, and he should be the most outstanding among the students, no wonder he dares to mock Cai Lun to his face.

Cai Lun laughed: "It turned out to be Brother Xu, very good, very good." He stood with his hands in his hands and said gracefully: "Brother Xu said such things, is he deceiving no one in our country?" ”

Cai Lun did inherit the family style, but his scheming was still very deep, and he deliberately led the contradictions to Taixue and Guozijian. The prison students and the Tai students are enemies, and when Cai Lun said this, one of the prison students suddenly said: "These country woodcutters are also worthy of being compared with us?" Cai Gongzi, let's go, talking to them is simply insulting our identity. ”

That Cheng Hui just smiled, looked very honest, and said casually: "In this way, the sons of the Guozijian are not even as good as the woodcutters in the countryside, hey, it's really worrying, if the children of the official eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty can only play tricks, it is really a matter of mountains and rivers." No wonder the officials have repeatedly mentioned Taixue, and in the future, it is better to let us rural woodcutters come. ”

This sentence hit the sore feet of the prisoner, and suddenly Zhou Heng scolded a few times.

Cheng Hui smiled lazily, ignored them, and said to his companions: "Bring pen and ink." ”

Suddenly, someone asked about the pen and ink, Cheng Hui smiled, spread the paper on the ground, picked up the pen and wrote, the wrist moved lightly, and after a while, he stood up horizontally, only to see the paper written: "Li Du's poems have been passed down by ten thousand mouths, and they are no longer fresh." ”

Cheng Hui smiled at Xu Wei and said, "Brother Xu is itchy, you will make up for the second half of the syncope." ”

Xu Wei laughed: "Great." He took the pen, squatted down to take the next sentence, and the effort was completed in a moment, and he said: "There are talented people in the country, and they have led the way for hundreds of years." ”

As he spoke, these two people took a group of Tai students away, and Xu Wei threw down a sentence and said, "Please also ask Cai Gongzi and all the prisoners to give advice." ”

Cai Lun picked up the paper on the ground, his face was slightly pale, this poem is not profound, but it is better than smoothness, and he can make such a happy poem in a short time, which shows the high literary brilliance of these two people. Then I thought, if it were up to me, would I be able to do it in such a short time? Thinking about it, cold sweat flowed out. It seems that the students are really not easy to deal with.

You must know that Cai Lun's great-grandfather was a great expert in calligraphy, and he was very good at calligraphy, but when he saw the calligraphy of these two people, he felt a little discouraged and cold. I thought to myself: "Taixue is one of the four great talents, Cheng Zhu Deng Xu is really powerful." ”

At this time, Cai Lun's surname was greatly reduced, and where could he still raise his spirit, so he said tastelessly: "I'm going back to the school, you can do it yourself." The rest of the inmates read this poem, ashamed and ashamed, and said: "Let's go back to study, the preliminary exam is coming, and we can't let Taixue ride on our heads." ”

Zhou Heng pulled Shen Ao and whispered: "Cousin, it seems that this first test is not optimistic, I am afraid that I will be gone." ”

Shen Ao smiled and thought to himself: "It seems that the few opponents I met today are very strong, and the students are really powerful, okay, find a chance to compete with them." However, this Cai Lun also has to be careful of the embankment, this person is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
