Looking at Zhou Zheng, Shen Ao couldn't guess his thoughts for a while, and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, my nephew has prepared a gift, please smile." ”

"Oh." Zhou Zheng said indifferently: "What kind of gift?" ”

Shen Ao took out the diamond-shaped round mirror he bought from Songzhufang, and said calmly: "The round mirror of the Jin Dynasty, if you are lucky, it is still a thing used by the palace in the palace, maybe Jia Nanfeng has used it!" ”

Jia Nanfeng? Zhou Zheng is interested, the treasures left by Jia Hou in the world are extraordinary, the collection value is extremely high, the historical popularity of this Jia Hou is not low, Jia Hou's father is called Jia Chong, is a famous minister in the Wei and Jin dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, because of the Sima family made great contributions to Wei, and was very favored by the Jin Emperor, after which Jia Nanfeng married Sima Zhen, this Sima Zhen is a famous fool emperor in history, after Sima Zhen became the emperor, the power of the court almost fell into the hands of Jia Nanfeng, this Jia Hou perversely, Soon after, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings was brewed, which directly led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Although the previous owner had a bad reputation, the antiquities wanted collection value and historical value, even if it was the utensils of the biggest villain in history, it was also an extraordinary treasure. Zhou Zhengping had only this hobby in his life, and hurriedly took the bronze mirror carefully, looked left and right, and muttered: "I'm afraid that it may not be, this bronze mirror has traces of polishing and aging, but it looks like a fake, not to mention that it does not conform to the system of the Jin Palace. ”

Shen Ao smiled and said: "Uncle, please take a good look, the traces of this polishing are not old-fashioned polishing, if they are old, they are generally wiped with cowhide glue dipped in oil after polishing, so that the entire mirror surface is smoother, but this diamond mirror is just a simple polishing." At that time, the Jin Palace was indeed popular with the Divine Beast Mirror, but my uncle should not forget that Jia Nanfeng married into the palace, and the ordinary use could not be something in the palace, but also a thing to marry. ”

If it is a dowry, then Empress Jia is naturally not a bronze mirror made in the palace, this reason makes sense, but Shen Ao said it so conclusively, the arguments are still not enough to convince people, and there are many doubts, Zhou Zheng asked with interest: "Then you can tell me why it is the royal thing of Empress Jia." ”

Shen Ao sat upright and said: "When I started to look at it, I had already guessed that it should be an antiquity in the Jin Dynasty, look at this style, it should be out of the utensils of the Gaomen family, at that time the Jin people had strict regulations on the system of the bronze mirror, such as this bronze mirror, the back is carved with a 'four-leaf Buddha statue bird and phoenix', it can be seen that the owner of this diamond mirror is at least three princes and nine qing, otherwise casting this kind of bronze mirror is contraband." ”

Shen Ao paused for a moment, and then continued: "Later, I looked at the traces of polishing, at first, I thought that this should be a fake, but after a closer look, I understood that this is not polishing and aging, because if it is old, why not polish the back of the copper mirror, why not wipe it with cowhide dipped in oil, but just polish the mirror?" With this clue, I began to recall the content of the Book of Jin......" Shen Ao smiled: "A bronze mirror, its owner polishes the mirror, if it is an ordinary person, it will definitely think that this person is crazy, polish the mirror, and the effect of the mirror will not be lost?" It wasn't until later that I understood. ”

Zhou Zheng was fascinated by this, and couldn't help nodding his head, thinking in his heart: Yes, it's really strange, polishing the mirror is like removing the base of the wine glass, and the effect of the wine glass is gone, is it still called a cup?

Shen Ao smiled: "Later, I thought of the Book of Jin, and the description of Empress Jia in the Book of Jin is that she is short in stature, black and blue, and extremely ugly. In addition, it was also recorded in the Tailin Guangji that Jia Houqi was extremely ugly, and he was the most taboo to look in the mirror, and he ordered all the mirrors in the palace to be smashed, or the mirror surface was polished with iron and stone, and all the beauties in the palace were expelled, and even more immediately executed. ”

"Uncle can imagine that at that time in the Jin Palace, all the bronze mirrors were smashed, but this bronze mirror, after all, is the dowry of Empress Jia, how can it be discarded at will, so Empress Jia has to ask someone to grind its mirror, so that the mirror loses its efficacy, and it will not hinder Empress Jia."

Zhou Zheng sighed: "I see, this Empress Jia's violence can only be glimpsed from this bronze mirror." ”

Shen Ao smiled, lifted the bronze mirror, and pointed at the handle of the mirror: "What does my uncle see on the handle of this mirror?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at it carefully: "It seems to be something like rouge." ”

Shen Ao said: "This is moon fat, it is a kind of rouge, because it is too gorgeous, and precious, so there are not many people who use it, this kind of rouge ordinary people dare not use, the effect is too obvious, too delicate, unless the appearance is too ugly, so that it can be used to cover up its original face, otherwise no one wants to use this rouge." ”

Zhou Zheng bowed his head, carefully put away the bronze mirror, and said, "I like this gift very much, thank you for your trouble." The tone has improved a lot, and there is less indifference in the color of Fang Cai.

Shen Ao smiled and said, "It's good if my uncle likes it." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Did your aunt tell you about those things?" ”

Those things naturally refer to marriage, and Shen Ao said, "I said it." ”

Zhou Zheng sighed: "I knew she couldn't hide things in front of you, so don't worry!" Master Longtu Pavilion, I have already told him that he is willing to sell the house to me, and in a few days I will ask someone to repair it, and it will be Ruo'er's dowry. He thought for a moment and shouted to the outsiders: "Go and call Liu Wenlai." ”

After a while, Liu Wen came, and Zhou Zheng said to him: "Liu Wen, how many years have you been with me?" ”

Liu Wendao: "Grandpa, it's been thirty years. ”

"Thirty years ......" Zhou Zheng seemed to be reminiscing, and then said with a smile: "There are several thirty years of life, you have worked hard for my Zhou family for so long, and now there is something to teach you to do." ”

Liu Wendao: "Please ask my grandfather to command." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "When Shen Ao moves to live in the new house, you can go to him to do the main thing, you have a good relationship with Shen Ao, there is no one who can use him in front of him, and this family can't take care of it." ”

When Shen Ao heard this, he understood Zhou Zheng's intentions, not only to give the house but also to the people, this dowry was heavy enough. However, this matter is not a good thing for Liu Wen, Liu Wen is the head of the public mansion, and among the main things in the world, except for the eunuchs in the palace, he is the best mixed, and he is asked to go to Shen Ao to do things, although it is also a main matter, but the effect is greatly reduced.

Shen Ao hurriedly said: "Uncle Lao has to worry about it, but Chief Liu has always done a good job in the public mansion, so there is no need for it." ”

Liu Wen said: "Grandpa commanded, the little one is naturally willing, and he can serve the young master, Liu Wen has no complaints." ”

Shen Ao said with a straight face: "I don't like Director Liu's style of acting, if you really want to find a master, you can ask Liu Sheng to try." ”

Liu Sheng is Liu Wen's son, who was assigned to take care of the porter, and he is almost in his thirties, and he is quite loyal.

Seeing Shen Ao say this, Liu Wen understood what Shen Ao meant, the young master deliberately wanted to promote Liu Sheng, his heart was full of gratitude, and he moved his mouth, but he didn't speak.

Zhou Zheng thought for a while: "Okay, then call Liu Sheng, if he has any neglect, you tell me, and I will deal with him personally." ”

Shen Ao agreed to come down, and Zhou Zheng accompanied him and said some words, nothing more than some marriage matters, seeing that it was not early, Zhou Zheng looked at the sky outside the window and said: "I'm afraid that Mrs. is already almost full, let's go to the banquet together and have a reunion dinner!" ”

The group arrived at the restaurant in the back garden, the wine and dishes were really ready, and there were all kinds of cakes pinched into rabbits and chickens, which was quite interesting.

Shen Ao leaned over, looked at this face, ahhh ”

When Zhou Ruogang saw Shen Ao, he felt a little uncomfortable, it was nothing before, but since he saw the stars that night, he had a lot of strange things, and when he saw Shen Ao barking indiscriminately, his face finally calmed down, a little less shy, and said angrily: "This is a puppy." ”

"Huh?" Shen Ao scratched his head in shock: "Yes, it's a puppy, this puppy is lifelike and pinched well, so this noodle must be a pig?" Shen Ao pointed to the other side.

Zhou Ruo was angry: "This is a swallow." ”

Khan, the swallow's body can be so swollen, did the swallows of the Great Song Dynasty grow up eating Zhengda feed? Shen Ao was immediately silenced, he didn't dare to identify the pigs, dogs and rabbits anymore, he couldn't afford to hurt them!

Zhou Zheng and his wife were just laughing on the side, and after a while, Mrs. said, "Why hasn't Heng'er come yet, call someone to ask." ”

Zhou Zheng was very happy, and said: "The more the palace is at this time, the more it will not stop, Heng'er is only afraid that he will be sent to the street to patrol the night, don't worry, wait." Zhou Heng was able to work in the front of the palace with peace of mind, which made Zhou Zheng finally feel a little comforted, but he didn't blame him for being late.

Mrs. was a little resentful: "No matter how busy you are, you always have to have a reunion dinner." ”

Shen Ao went over to talk to his wife, and waited for more than an hour, before Zhou Heng, who was dressed in military uniform, stepped over, his face showed some tiredness, and he was very energetic when he walked, and called his father and mother, and said: "Today, everyone in the front division of the palace is on duty, and I still came back from half an hour's leave, and I will drink two sips of water and wine and leave." As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows at Shen Ao and asked Shen Ao to help him say a few words.

Shen Ao just smiled, but Zhou Zheng smiled: "It's okay, let's take a seat quickly, don't delay Heng'er's time." ”

Everyone sat down, each drank a few glasses of wine, Zhou Heng toasted a circle of wine, and took out the gifts he had just bought on the street and gave them to Zhou Zheng, Mrs., Shen Ao, and Zhou Ruo, and then hurriedly said to Zhou Zheng and Mrs. Zhou: "The child has said goodbye." With that, he left in a hurry.

Seeing a hint of heartache flashing in Madame's eyes, Shen Ao hurriedly said, "Do you think that your cousin is more sensible?" ”

This sentence aroused many people's thoughts, Zhou Zheng nodded his head, and his wife agreed with it in her heart, but she deliberately said with a straight face: "It's still like that, I don't care about my family at all, hey......"
