Chapter 108: Master’s aunt

Early in the morning, Chen Ao and Zhou Heng went to take leave together. Today is the day of the treasure appraisal meeting. The Duke of the State had sent someone to say hello to the school, so Tang Yan just talked to Shen Ao and then made the leave.

Zhou Heng was very excited today. The eldest prince personally presided over the treasure appraisal meeting, and he was also preparing to participate in the competition as a contestant.

Many people paid attention to this game. After all, the appeal of the eldest prince is there, so the streets and alleys have already started to discuss.

However, there are not many treasure appraisers who dare to participate in the competition. If you want to participate, someone must first recommend it. For example, Zhou Zheng, the Duke of Qiguo, recommended Chen Ao. Zhou Heng is also a person who likes to join in the fun and is a little interested in antiques. When he was short of money, he always secretly sold some porcelain bottles from the mansion. If he didn't understand the price at all, wouldn't he suffer a big loss?

As Chen Ao was influenced by these days, his eyesight became stronger. This time, Zhou Heng had a thick face and mustered up the courage and decided to try his luck. He didn't even think about winning the top three, but the key was to participate.

In fact, Chen Ao understood that Zhou Heng was trying to please Zhou Zheng, and he didn't know what happened these days. Zhou Zheng always felt a little disliked when he saw him, and even smiled coldly.

Zhou Heng knew that the disaster was about to come sooner or later, and the strict discipline of his son, he was known to him in the entire Bianjing City.

Therefore, Zhou Heng thought that his father loved antiques, and he finally touched the edge of his appreciation these days. If he could show off his skills in the treasure appraisal meeting, he might win back his father's favor.

With this idea, he acted immediately, and took Chen Aowei to replenish his eyesight these days. Although it takes a long time to accumulate experience to appreciate this thing, after all, with such a good master, he can finally fool him with guessing.

Master Zhou was full of energy and thought that he could challenge the famous scholars, so he secretly went to find his father's friend Zeng Wen, who was full of uncle's words and was full of joy. His purpose was to hope that Zeng Wen could recommend him a place.

Since he was shameless, Zeng Wen did not make any sense not to sell this favor, so he simply took Zhou Heng's convenience.

Along the way, Master Zhou could not stop talking about the causes and consequences of this treasure appraisal conference. It turned out that the cause of the treasure appraisal conference was the sudden idea of ​​the eldest son Zhao Heng. In fact, behind this, there was also a little factor in competing for favor.

Although Zhao Heng is the eldest son of the emperor, the official family does not value it much. Until today, Zhao Hengkong has the reality of his eldest son, but has not yet been granted the position of crown prince.

The official family was a romantic emperor, who liked running scripts, painted paintings, and was also very good at appreciating. Among so many sons, only the third son of the emperor, Zhao Kai, inherited some of his abilities, so the official family's favorite is naturally Zhao Kai.

Because of this, if Zhao Heng, who had an awkward position, did not show any preference to attract the attention of the official family, the position of the crown prince would sooner or later be further away from him. He could not compare to the third son of the emperor when he tried his best. No matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain. In the end, Zhao Heng felt a little excited and decided to do some articles on appreciation.

Chen Ao listened and thought, "What does this have to do with me? As long as the eldest prince can afford the lottery, it will be done." But I don't know if Zhenzhen will go, but Zhou Ruo and Chun'er did not come, it is already very sad. By the way, there is also Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, you'd better not hit me today.

The two of them went to the residence of the eldest son Zhao Heng side by side, saying that it was the residence of the prince, but compared with the Duke's mansion, it seemed smaller in scale, and compared with the major royal mansions, it also seemed simple; there were seven or eight doormen at the door lined up, and several eunuchs in charge were wearing new robes to welcome guests.

Zhou Zheng's carriage was coming, Chen Ao, Zhou Heng met him. Zhou Zheng got out of the car and saw them, smiled slightly, and said to Chen Ao: "This time Chen Ao wants to take the lead for me, so that the people of Bian Jing can see how powerful my nephew is."

Then his eyes fell on Zhou Heng again. Seeing that he was coming, the fierceness in his eyes eased a lot. His father likes to collect antiques, and his son is a little interested, so he said to Zhou Heng: "Heng'er, I heard you also want to participate in treasure appraisal?"

When Zhou Heng saw Zhou Zheng, he was like a mouse and a cat. He said in fear: "Yes, father."

Chen Ao saw it and smiled in his heart: "It turns out that one thing is something that brings something. Young Master Zhou, who is not afraid of this world, is now obedient. It is really rare to see it." Chen Ao said to Zhou Zheng: "Uncle, although my cousin has just entered the industry, he has made great progress. This time he participated in treasure appraisal, it is not to show off his eyesight, but to find an opportunity to experience it."

Zhou Henghe nodded and smiled, "Let me go in and see if your great uncle has arrived."

When Chen Ao walked into the residence of the eldest son, he felt sorry for Zhao Heng when he saw him along the way. It seemed that Zhao Heng was really sad. He said that he was the crown prince, and he was also called unjust and could not enter the Eastern Palace. But if he was not the crown prince, according to the rules of the Song Dynasty, he should have been named Prince and Prince. Now he is not in the Eastern Palace or the Prince. He can only sit in this big mansion for the time being.

As soon as he was led into the main hall, many people had been waiting for a long time. Many who knew Zhou Zheng stood up and saluted Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng returned the salute one by one, and the scene seemed quite lively.

Chen Ao and Zhou Heng are juniors, so they naturally look at their eyes and noses and hearts, standing honestly beside Zhou Zheng, accompanying their smiling faces.

After a while, more and more people were coming. Fortunately, the hall was quite small, which allowed so many people. The servants carried tea cups and carried tea to the guests, or handed them sweat towels.

Zhou Heng said to Chen Ao mysteriously: "There are many experts here this time, so my cousin is careful; look at that person, Xianggong Liu, who is known as the golden eyes, don't underestimate him. My father once said that in this city of Bianjing, he has the best eyesight."

Chen Ao smiled slightly with interest and looked in the direction Zhou Heng pointed at. The bandit name Golden Eyes Liu Xianggong was very thin. He sat upright on the table and was whispering to someone. From time to time, he raised his eyes to look at the sky outside. Obviously, he couldn't wait to try his best.

Chen Ao snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Golden Eyes? I'll call him a cross-eye today." Chen Ao is the one who doesn't want others to take a bandit account to show off everywhere. A true stranger doesn't care about this false reputation at all. Mr. Liu has a strong sense of fame and fortune.

However... Chen Ao is not much better than the Golden Eyes. The eldest brother didn't say to the second brother, and while scolding the Golden Eyes for being too fame and fortune, Chen Ao thought to himself: "It's not right, what's the point of being a big fame and fortune? Doesn't this mean that he has a motivated spirit? Do you have to be a hermit to appear indifferent? Is this your own motivated spirit and let those pretenders be indifferent."

Zhou Heng laughed when he heard Chen Ao's arrogant words. He was careless for a moment and attracted a lot of gazes. With Zhou Zheng's cold eyes swept over, Zhou Heng immediately covered his mouth and did not dare to make any sound.

There is also a floor of attic above this hall. The small window in the wing room in the attic is set aside. You can see the whole picture of the hall without protruding your head. This room has prepared fruits and refreshments. The eldest prince Zhao Heng was standing aside carefully, on a chair of the Grand Master, while Zhao Ji was lazily closing his eyes to rest.

In front of Zhao Ji, Zhao Heng was so arrogant that he didn't dare to show off. Compared with many princes, Zhao Heng was not outstanding, and even his appearance was not as elegant and elegant as Zhao Ji. If it weren't for the identity of the eldest prince, I'm afraid Zhao Ji wouldn't even have much effort to talk to him.

The more this happened, Zhao Heng felt like walking on thin ice and did not dare to slack off at all. He poured tea for Zhao Ji and said with a smile: "Father, this time, all the treasure appraisers in Bianjing City have been invited. The father only needs to watch it on the wall, and there will be a good show to watch."

Zhao Ji opened his eyes and asked, "Why haven't Kai'er and Ziheng arrived yet?"

This sentence instantly made Zhao Heng's face froze, and then he returned to his timid appearance, and whispered: "The third brother and sister Ziheng are coming. With them accompanying his father to watch here, his father's heart will be more relaxed."

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to serve here, you can go down to preside over the appreciation meeting."

Zhao Heng hurriedly said, "It's still early, let them wait." He sent the poured tea to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji took it, took a sip, and suddenly raised his eyes: "You have improved your skills in making tea. Who did you learn this tea from?"

Just as Zhao Heng was about to answer, he heard a concierge sing loudly: "Your Highness, Princess Qinghe is here."

Zhao Ji smiled in a good mood, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Hurry up, go and pick them up."

Zhao Heng was also very surprised and said, "My son will go on now. I haven't seen the third emperor's brother for a long time. I really want to talk about my brotherly friendship with him." As he said that, he walked out of the wing room.

After a while, the third prince Zhao Kai and the Qinghe Princess Zhao Ziheng came in together, and the hall suddenly became quiet. A few people knew Zhao Kai and went to salute him in the past. Zhao Kai just smiled and responded with a smile. However, Zhao Ziheng beside him looked bitter and revenge. With a glance, he saw Chen Ao, pulling the third brother beside him to give him courage, walked to Chen Ao, and said angrily: "Tell me quickly, what kind of terrible method is your master's aunt?"

Originally, the two planned to turn into other identities, but Zhao Ziheng suddenly changed her mind. She wanted Chen Ao to know that she was here too!

The whole audience was in an uproar! Is the master's aunt scary? Many people couldn't figure it out, and their eyes looked at Chen Ao. Many people thought to themselves: "Has this person offended Princess Qinghe? If so, this person is probably over. Princess Qinghe is very favored by the official family. It is not fun to offend her."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "My master will lose blood when he sees his aunt. It takes three or five days to stop it. Do you think his aunt is scary?"

Zhao Ziheng was shocked and said, "There is such a thing! Does Mr. Chen's aunt know how to use magic?"

Chen Ao ignored her and looked at Zhao Kai and laughed: "Your Highness, please forgive Chen for being arrogant. I wonder if we have seen him where?"

Zhao Kai was about to answer with a smile, and glanced at Ziheng at her, and she glared at her. The friendly and polite words immediately swallowed them into her stomach. She pursed her lips and shook her head, meaning that he and Shen Ao had never seen each other before.

Zhao Ziheng snorted coldly and said, "Chen Ao, this time you are dead. If you are proficient in calligraphy and painting, you must not be good at treasure appraisal. I am here to see you make a fool of yourself, teach you to despise me, and ask me to run errands for you."

She was straightforward enough that those who listened to her were stunned. Chen Ao smiled and said, "How do you know that I'm not good at treasure appraisal?"

Zhao Ziheng said, "Don't pretend, this is what His Highness the Third Prince said. You should believe his words, right?"
