Shen Ao suddenly realized that he was indeed too great, smiled slightly, and said: "So, even if your aunt dislikes you again, Xiao Zhangzhang will go to find your uncle, your uncle has a good impression of you, if you can show a little bit of ability and impress him, I think the matter between you and your cousin will be done." ”

Lu Zhizhang nodded again and again, his cousin was right, and then hesitated again: "What should I show in front of my uncle?" I've heard that my uncle likes antiques, but I'm not proficient in them at all. ”

Shen Ao smiled happily in his heart, but said with a straight face: "If you talk about antiques with your uncle, it's not right; Antiques are just a hobby, not a business, you see, what will my uncle think of you when he sees you obsessed with antiques? You will definitely say that you are not doing your job; So, you have to start with poetry. ”

Lu Zhizhang suddenly realized: "My cousin is right, being able to do poetry is the right job, and only with literary talent can my uncle value it." ”

"Yes." Shen Ao encouraged him: "So you have to make a fuss about poetry, and let your uncle know that your son Lu is not only a young master from a famous family, but also a talented man, haha, how about being called Hongzhou genius Xiao Zhangzhang?" ”

Lu Zhizhang's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Talent? Cousin, I'm not a genius, I don't like reading since I was a child, let alone making poems, I have a headache when I see articles and poems. ”

Shen Ao sighed and said, "Isn't Xiao Zhangzhang any merit at all?" ”

Lu Zhizhang said: "Cousin, what can I do about this?" Hearing you say this, I don't have confidence in my heart. ”

Shen Ao said: "There is another way, it really doesn't work, let's fake." ”

"Fake?" When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he felt a little empty.

Shen Ao said: "It's not okay if you don't fake, it's better like this, you go and copy a few poems, and then go to see your uncle, and when the time comes, you blurt out, your uncle is usually busy with official business, or he is playing antiques, where will you suspect that this is not your poem?" ”

Lu Zhizhang said: "This doesn't seem to be good, if it is seen clearly by my uncle, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm just afraid ......"

Shen Ao said: "Don't you take risks? Xiao Zhangzhang, let me tell you the truth, I came from my aunt's side just now, and I listened to my aunt's tone, I didn't want to marry my cousin to you; If you don't fight against the water, I'm afraid that you will have to return to Hongzhou in gloom. ”

As soon as Lu Zhizhang heard this, his courage came, and he said, "I can't go back alone, I want to go back, and I have to take Miss Zhou back to get married." ”

"That's right, so you can only fake it, let your uncle value you, and then you propose to your uncle, as long as your uncle agrees, this matter cannot be changed." Shen Ao continued to say with a very kind smile.

Lu Zhizhang felt that it made sense, so he said: "But where to find poetry." ”

The poems that are too famous are not good, they are seen through at a glance, but they are not famous, and most of them are of poor quality, which makes Lu Zhizhang very embarrassed.

Shen Ao smiled slightly: "This is easy to say, you go and buy a book of elegant poems, and pick out a few poems from it; The poems included in the collection of elegant poems are all good, and most of them are new, so my uncle can't see it, Xiao Zhangzhang, you can grasp it yourself, what your cousin can teach has already been taught to you, and the rest depends on yourself. ”

With that, Shen Ao said goodbye to Lu Zhizhang.

That night, Shen Ao called Liu Wen over.

The young master is invited, how can Liu Wen not come, he came to see Shen Ao with a smile, Shen Ao talked to him about the old feelings, took out a book of poems from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Master Liu, there is something I need your help to do." ”

Director Liu looked flattered: "Don't say this, young master, if you have anything to say, just give an order." ”

Shen Ao said: "Usually my uncle picks up books and reads them in the study? ”

Director Liu said: "Usually, people buy books and put them on the desk, and Guogong reads them casually; Sometimes he thinks of a certain book and asks someone to pick it up. ”

Shen Ao nodded: "Then there is Director Lao Liu to help me put this book on my uncle's desk."

Liu Wen didn't know what to do, but he knew the truth of not asking what he shouldn't ask, so he took the poetry collection and said, "Young Master Cousin, this matter must be done." ”

………………………………

Lu Zhizhang really begged for a collection of elegant poems, read it carefully, and finally memorized a few poems.

A few days later, Guogong sent someone to ask him to go to the study to talk, Lu Zhizhang was a little nervous, and he went over hard.

"Master Lu, come, sit down." Zhou Zheng said with a smile, the day of the treasure appreciation conference is getting closer and closer, and his mood has been very good recently.

Lu Zhizhang hurriedly said politely and sat down.

Zhou Zheng glanced at Lu Zhizhang, his mood was very complicated, he still liked this nephew; But I don't know why, Mrs.'s impression of him has been getting worse and worse recently, he saw Lu Gongzi's thoughts, the nephew wanted to mention Ruo'er's family affairs to him, and the two families formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin, but now there is a mistake in this matter.

Zhou Zheng was full of joy, the Lu family was a prestigious family, and Lu Gongzi couldn't find anything wrong; However, when he mentioned to his wife at this time, at first she only said to take a slow look, and then later, she didn't even have room to slow down, so she categorically refused.

Zhou Zheng was a little embarrassed at both ends.

As usual, he asked Lu Zhizhang about his food and lodging, and Lu Zhizhang said: "With my uncle taking care of him, my little nephew lives here very well, and there is nothing unaccustomed." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and stroked his beard and jaw, and said, "Then stay a little longer, anyway, Hongzhou is fine, you can live here." ”

Lu Zhizhang was a little hesitant, he was too anxious, it was not a way to live like this, if Miss Zhou's matter was not resolved, his heart would always hover and not be able to let go.

Zhou Zheng asked again: "It is said that the nephew usually closes himself in the house, but is he studying?" ”

He asked like this, and Lu Zhizhang hurriedly said: "Yes, I usually read some books to pass some time." ”

Zhou Zheng was interested, the younger generation, it would be excellent to be able to calm down and read, don't be like your own unsuccessful son, so he continued to ask with interest: "What kind of books are you reading?" Presumably Lu Gongzi's knowledge is not bad! ”

Lu Zhizhang's forehead is already oozing cold sweat, looking at his uncle's meaning, he will definitely go to the bottom of the question, this question, sooner or later, will show his feet, if he lets his uncle know that he doesn't learn and can't do anything, it won't be good; Then he said: "It's just to read some Tang poems, which makes my uncle laugh." ”

Zhou Zheng said: "Does Lu Gongzi also love poetry?" Great, so Lu Gongzi must have written a poem, you might as well read it out for me. ”

Here, Uncle is going to take care of him!

Lu Zhizhang pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, on the one hand, because he finally had a chance to perform, and on the other hand, he was afraid of being seen through by Zhou Zheng.

Lu Zhizhang pondered for a moment, plucked up the courage to stand up, and said, "Then please ask my uncle to correct me." He said slowly: "I can read this poem now, I got it by chance during the Mid-Autumn Festival, uncle, don't laugh." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and thought to himself, he couldn't imagine that this nephew still had the ability to compose poetry, so it seemed that he had underestimated him in the past; If he really wrote poems, it would be great, take his poems and tell his wife, even if the lady has a bad impression of him, seeing that he is knowledgeable and has a good family background, there may be room for maneuver in the matter of proposing.

Lu Zhizhang muttered: "Ten rounds of frost shadows turn to the court, and this night is a lonely corner. It may not be that Su'e has no resentment, the jade toad is cold and the osmanthus is lonely ......" After reading it, he looked at Zhou Zhengdao nervously: "Uncle, this poem is about a traveler who has wandered in a foreign country, ten years have passed, but he has not returned to his hometown, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the traveler is facing the corner alone, thinking that Chang'e may not be without melancholy and resentment......"

Zhou Zheng stroked his palms and said: "Okay, good poetry......"

Lu Zhizhang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this level has passed, this poem is his plagiarism of Zeng Sui'an's works in the collection of elegant poems.

Zhou Zheng continued: "Lu Gongzi is a great talent, study hard, and he will be very productive in the future." ”

Lu Zhizhang was overjoyed in his heart, his uncle rarely praised him, great, my cousin was right, it seems that there is still hope for marrying my cousin.

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea, a trace of elusive light flashed in his indifferent eyes, and he casually said a few words to Lu Zhizhang, and Lu Zhizhang left.

When Lu Zhizhang left, Zhou Zheng's face gradually changed, he picked up a book of poems on the table with a playful face, flipped through it casually, stopped on a page, and muttered: "Ten rounds of frost and shadow turn to the court, and this night is alone...... Lu Gongzi, Lu Gongzi, can you deceive people, but can you deceive the sky? ”

He put down the book of poems, sighed with a sad face, and muttered again: "It seems that this Lu Gongzi, I'm afraid it's not simple, the Lu family is such a good tutor, could it be that the children taught are like this?" ”
