Sending Lu Zhizhang away, Shen Ao smiled and said goodbye to Miss Zhou, and went back to rest, who knew that he met a few handmaids on the road, and the handmaidens who saw him in the past laughed at him, most of them were the topic of Hechun'er; Now he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and he smiled and called the young master to salute, and his charming eyes were very diligent.

The world is hot and cold, Shen Ao finally understands, although he was a scholar at that time in the past, he was a subordinate after all, so he had an affair with Chun'er, and everyone was watching jokes; But now it's different, their identities have changed, and most of these maids wish they had become Chun'er, and they have a personal relationship with this young master!

Shen Ao has been a human being for two lives, and he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, so he didn't think so, waved to them with a smile, and continued to move forward.

Raising his eyes and looking forward, he faced a boy who shook his fan and fanned over, Shen Ao thought to himself, isn't this kid Zhou Heng?

But if you look closely, it doesn't look like Zhou Heng is relatively obese, this person is slender; Closer, it turned out to be Zeng Sui'an, I don't know why this kid suddenly broke into this inner mansion today.

When Zeng Suian saw Shen Ao, he immediately smiled and said, "Shen Gongzi, haha, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been waiting for you in the Yaya Mountain House for so long, and I haven't seen you coming." ”

Shen Ao hurriedly went over and said with a wry smile: "Zeng Gongzi, I just entered the Guozijian to study, and I am too busy with my studies, so I haven't had time to go to the Yashan House again." ”

Zeng Suian said: "I've heard about you a long time ago, haha, Shen Gongzi is now the most well-known person in Bianjing City, and many people talk about you." ”

Shen Ao said very modestly and low-key: "It's a fluke, it's just a fluke, why did Zeng Gongzi come?" ”

Zeng Suian said: "My father has an old relationship with the Guogong, and he has just come back and is discussing the matter of the treasure appraisal meeting. ”

"Treasure Fair?" Shen Ao remembered that Zeng Suian's father also loved treasure appreciation, and that time Guogong was deceived by the prince Wang, and Zeng Suian's father was also there at that time. It seems that the friendship between the two families is not shallow, otherwise Zeng Sui'an would not have been able to enter the inner mansion at will; The inner house of this era is equivalent to a bedroom, and it is not just for people to come in.

Zeng Suian continued to smile and said: "This time, there will be a lot of famous people present in the treasure appraisal, and it is said that His Royal Highness the Great Prince will also come, and the heroes will gather, and this time they will compete for the highs and lows." ”

Shen Ao looked at Zeng Sui'an with interest and asked, "What kind of reputation will this treasure be for?" How to compare the test method, is there a color head? ”

Zeng Sui thought in his heart: "Shen Gongzi is really different, when others talk about the treasure appraisal meeting, who will ask the color head, he is good, his eyes are light when he talks about the color head." He looked at Shen Ao casually and said: "The method of the competition is very simple, everyone takes out an antique, each guesses its authenticity and origin, and if you can't guess it, you will be eliminated, and so on, and the last person left will be considered to have won." As for the color head......" He shook his fan and said with a smile: "The treasure appraisal meeting is presided over by the eldest prince, and the eldest prince has already released the rumors, if anyone can win the first place in the treasure appreciation, there will be a mysterious gift." ”

Khan, isn't that the same as not saying?

Shen Ao's face was disappointed, and he was thinking: "When the time comes, this mysterious gift should not be a rabbit and play everyone tricks." ”

Zeng Suian seemed to see Shen Ao's thoughts, and continued: "Most of these people who are willing to participate in the treasure appraisal meeting are treasure appreciation masters who are obsessed with it, and they are not there to run for the lottery. ”

Shen Ao smiled, and when he saw it, Zeng Sui'an was followed by a very cute curly-haired dog, and he didn't know where it came from, accompanied by Zeng Suian's feet, licking his heel very affectionately, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zeng Gongzi to be a dog lover, this dog is very cute." ”

When Shen Ao talked about dogs, Zeng Sui'an became energetic and said: "I call it a donkey, its surname is very good, and it doesn't bite; Does Shen Gongzi also love dogs? ”

"Love, love, but I'm different from Zeng Gongzi, I love dogs differently than you." Shen Ao remembered a certain advertising slogan in his mind evilly, if he loved it, he ate it; Haha, when I think about it like this, the gluttonous worms in my stomach will be drawn out, so hungry, this dog is good, fat, put it in the pot and stuffy, it must be very fresh.

Where did Zeng Suian think that Shen Ao's way of loving dogs was so special, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took Shen Ao's hand and said his experience; After a while, Liu Wen hurriedly came over and said in surprise: "Young Master Cousin and Zeng Gongzi are here, this is great, the old man asked the little one to invite the two of them over." ”

Zeng Suian smiled: "It must be the Guogong who taught Shen Gongzi to discuss the treasure apprecial, I just heard from Guogong and my father that Shen Gongzi is not only good at poetry, but also has a lot of experience in appreciating treasures, isn't it?" ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly: "Let Zeng Gongzi smile." ”

When the two of them arrived at the study, they went in, and sure enough, they saw Zhou Zheng sitting with a middle-aged official, talking; This middle-aged official is very thin, but he has a half-face beard mixed with roughness.

Shen Ao thought very wickedly in his heart: "Is Zeng Suian really the son of this person?" It's not like ah, it's ......."

This thought was quickly interrupted again, Shen Ao's three views were very positive, such a shameless thing even felt sinful to think about, it seemed that he had learned badly after crossing over.

Zhou Zheng saw Shen Ao coming in, and beckoned to Shen Ao: "Shen Ao, you come, haha, come to see Zeng Shibo." ”

Shen Ao obediently went over and saluted the middle-aged official, and said, "Uncle Zeng is good." ”

Zeng Sui'an's father's name is Zeng Wen, who is in a high position in the imperial history, and when he saw Shen Ao, he was full of admiration, and thought to himself: "This person is Shen Ao who is famous in the capital, this person is so outstanding in the country, and he has been favored by the prince, and he will be a figure that cannot be underestimated in the future." Thinking of this, he paid a little more attention to Shen Ao, and hurriedly said: "The nephew is exempt, you don't need to be polite, you and Sui An are friends, and you will be closer and closer in the future, and I have time to come to our mansion, I have a lot of good things there." ”

Speaking of good things, Zeng Wen's eyebrows suddenly danced, and he continued: "It is said that my nephew also knows how to identify things, which is great, I happen to have something here, please take a look." ”

Shen Ao knew that he was going to take the school exam, so he said with a smile: "Shibo's things are naturally priceless, so let the little nephew open his eyes." ”

Zeng Wen took off a bag from his waist, opened it carefully, took out a small seal, and said, "Come and see." ”

Shen Ao took the seal, and felt a slippery feeling between his fingers, the touch was very comfortable, and if he looked closely, this impression was not made of jade, but like an ivory carving, and the so-called ivory carving was a seal carved from ivory.

The traces of ivory carving are very fine, and Shen Ao can already conclude that this should be a product of the Qin and Han dynasties.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, due to a large number of hunts and a cold climate, rhinoceros and elephants in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins were no longer able to survive in the wild, and their distribution range quickly decreased to the southwest. Due to the increasing shortage of raw materials, the number of works decreased to the point that it became a means for the dignitaries of the time to show off their wealth. In this way, the maintenance and development of the tooth and bone carving industry in the Qin and Han dynasties, its way has also changed from "local materials" to "going out to find materials, Seiko carving", which is in sharp contrast with the self-sufficient Fenghua in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Looking at the bottom of the seal, the words used on it looked very peculiar, Shen Ao pondered silently, looking at the strokes of the words, which were very different from the Chinese characters of the Qin period, so he was also interested and looked at it seriously.

The script of the Qin period is mainly divided into two parts, one is the traditional Yellow River valley region, and although the scripts of Qin, Zhao, Wei, Qi and other countries are different, they are not the same; However, in the Chu State further south, because it was far away from the Central Plains civilization, it also had its own script on the basis of Chinese characters, which Shen Ao had seen in a certain document, and many of the features of the text of this seal were very similar to the Chu script.

Looking at the texture of the ivory carving, it seems that the tiger is faintly visible in the texture, the tiger, the Chu State, and the ivory carving, these three clues are connected, and Shen Ao suddenly remembered a treasure.

The tiger is not something that ordinary people can carve on, only generals, military attachés such as Sima are allowed to enjoy such specifications, and the ivory carving is very precious, and it is impossible for ordinary people to wear it. However, this ivory carving is very large, not like a private seal, because it is very inconvenient to carry a private seal, so the only possibility is the official seal.

Shen Ao smiled and said, "The Tiger Talisman of the Pre-Qin Chu Kingdom is indeed very exquisite, extraordinary, but I don't know where Shibo got it, such treasures, I'm afraid there are not many in the world." ”

A connoisseur will know if there is one.

After listening to Shen Ao's words, Zeng Wen kneaded his beard and laughed, and said, "If you are terrible, the old man is convinced, and the nephew's eyesight is too poisonous." ”

Today the tiger is too unlucky, to see a friend, and a friend home, on the road riding an electric car directly into the ditch, the steel ring is directly crooked, two people covered in blood crawled out of the ditch, holding the electric car to walk seven or eight miles to home, so miserable. After I came back, I wiped some red potion codewords, and now it's fine, and it's okay to update, but I'm really embarrassed to have an accident on an electric car.
