At this moment, based on analysis, Chen Ao had already gained some preliminary understanding of the Duke of the State. The Duke of the State is conservative, harsh in treating others, and pursues perfection. He also has a kind of cleanliness in politics. This cleanliness can be seen from his words and deeds, and from the fact that the Duke of the State takes in Chen Ji.

Who is Chen Ji? Qingliu completely offended not only the powerful ministers, but even the officials were scolded by him. Taking in such a person would take certain political risks, but the Duke did it.

Then Chen Ao is sure that Chen Ji and Duke have the same personality or political views. The difference is that Chen Ji did it in a practical way, doing something that Duke wants to do but dare not do.

How should such a person deal with it? Chen Ao has many thoughts in his mind.

Zhou Zheng said in a deep voice: "I heard that someone sued you for fraud?"

Chen Ao nodded: "Yes."

He already had an idea that this matter could not be hidden. Instead of doing so, it would be better to say it out loud.

Chen Ao is betting on his judgment. If Zhou Zheng has such a personality, he will be able to escape unstoppably. If his analysis is wrong, the result will be different.

He believes in his professional judgment, so he is full of confidence.

He sighed and said, "Mr. Master already knows?" So he started with Miss Zhou and talked about how Pan Ren colluded with the Jiaofangsi and abused the law, how he set up a plan with Miss Zhou, and how he cheated Pan Ren's money.

Chen Ao was still careful. He deliberately placed Miss Zhou in a very important position. In this way, even if Zhou Zheng wanted to cure Chen Ao's sins and sue Chen Ao, he had to destroy his relatives for justice.

How did you get informed by Gong Gong Cao after taking money? How did you get out of trouble? Chen Ao's eloquence is very good and speaks beautifully, and flows through the flowing water without leaking water.

Zhou Zheng frowned at first, but later when he heard Pan Ren was deceived, Eunuch Cao was defeated, and his eyebrows couldn't help but stretch. After Chen Ao finished speaking, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but look at Chen Ao for a few more times. He could not have imagined that a little book boy did so many things that ordinary people wanted to do but did not dare to do. He remembered that he kept silent on many occasions for the sake of his family and was self-protection. He felt a lot in his heart.

Compared with Chen Ao, Zhou Zheng felt that he was a little bitchy.

He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You are too cruel." Although this sentence means reproaching, its tone softens, just like parents teaching their children a lesson. The stick is hung high but falls gently.

Chen Ao knew in his heart that he had bet right, so he hurriedly said: "As a scholar, if I do this, I may cause trouble for the Duke's Mansion. Please punish me."

Chen Ao first admits his mistakes humbly. His attitude is very important. Only with a good attitude can people feel good. Then he changed the subject and said: "It's just that the Duke beat Chen Ao to death, Chen Ao will not regret it. Chen Ao has read some books and knows what is the principle of doing something and not doing something." This sentence tells Zhou Zheng that he did nothing wrong.

Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly, but it was difficult for a moment to make a decision. He recognized what Chen Ao did, but he did not agree with the consequences of his actions. How should we deal with this book boy? If we ignore him, we are afraid that something will happen in the future. But if we punish him, we will feel a little unbearable.

Chen Ao said carelessly: "Chen Ao knows that although some things are right, they are wrong when they are done. Just like my teacher, Xianggong Chen, he is obviously not wrong, but in fact he is wrong."

Zhou Zheng exclaimed: "Are you Xianggong Chen's disciple?"

Chen Ao laughed in his heart. Chen Ji, the master, recognized him well. He said, "Yes, thanks to Mr., I will come to the school and listen to the teacher's admonitions at all times."

Zhou Zheng sighed and said in his heart: "So that's it. This person is a disciple of Mr. Chen. Yes, Mr. Chen Ji is not humane, but this book boy is a little sleek, but he is somewhat in harmony in nature and has a kind of paranoidness."

His face calmed down a little, and he raised his hand to Chen Aoxue: "Sit."

An ordinary slave naturally has no qualifications to sit. Chen Ao knew in his heart that he was benefiting from Chen Ji's favor, so this cheap master was not wrong. As his disciple, his status and status suddenly improved.

He sat down generously and said, "Thank you, Duke."

At this time, Zhou Zheng deliberately did not mention what Chen Ao did outside, but instead regarded Chen Ao as a junior and asked where Chen Ao was confused.

Chen Ao had a long time ago, and had told his wife before that the family was just the same thing. What I fear most was the inconsistency between lying. If he had a set of words in front of his wife and changed his style in front of the Duke, one day the in-laws talked about himself, wow, and found a flaw, it would be miserable.

Zhou Zheng sighed and said, "Since that's the case, you must work harder and spend your time on learning. As a book boy, you will have a lot of free time and you can find some books to read. You can also listen to the teachings in the Taixue School. When your knowledge improves in the future, you will redeem yourself and gain fame. Don't insult yourself."

Chen Ao quickly thanked him for his gratitude. Zhou Zheng asked him about his recent situation in the mansion. Chen Ao naturally said yes and said, "Mrs. Take good care of me very much, and the young master is also very good to me."

Zhou Zheng nodded and twisted his beard and said, "How is Mr. Chen's health recently? He is busy with official business these days, so he rarely goes to see him."

Chen Ao naturally said good things. Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "If you want to study in the future, you can come to this study. I have a lot of books and a lot of classics. Don't let Xianggong Chen down."

He said this as not pursuing Chen Ao. He had some concern in his words, which was considered to have recognized Chen Ao.

Chen Ao nodded and thanked, glanced at him and landed on the ring on the tail finger of the Duke of the Kingdom. This ring was very simple. Although it was just a short conversation with Chen Ao, Chen Ao had seen the Duke of the Kingdom several times to caress the ring. What does this mean?

First, it can be said that the Duke of China attaches great importance to this ring and shows weakness and treasures. Secondly, it can be inferred that this ring should have been worn on the Duke of China for many years, so that the Duke of China has developed the habit of stroking the ring.

Looking at the study room again, there were many antiques in it, including exquisite vases and antique pen holders. Even the inkstone seemed very difficult.

One thing is confirmed. The Duke likes antiques very much, but he is afraid he is still a collector. Although the house is inconspicuous, if these objects are placed in later generations, I am afraid that a porcelain bottle will be worth at least eight digits.

The art of conversation lies in meeting what he likes. Although the Duke's attitude towards Chen Ao has improved, the two are still very unfamiliar. This unfamiliarity has both age gaps and status differences.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Master, I don't know where this ring comes from..." He said halfway through his words, and said, "Master, forgive me. Chen Ao is a little interested in antiques, so he asked something that shouldn't be asked..."

Zhou Zheng looked as if he was not blamed, but his eyes lit up: "What? Do you know antiques too?"

Chen Ao not only knows antiques, but also makes fake antiques with hundreds of them. If he says he doesn't understand, I'm afraid that few people in the world will understand them. He smiled modestly: "I understand a little bit, and I am interested in some antiques on weekdays, so I have learned some identification techniques."
