In the evening, Chief Zhao said goodbye, Chen Ao personally sent him out and said to him with gratitude: "Mr. Zhao's words have made me realize that we will get closer in the future. Maybe we will rely on Chief Zhao's help in many things in the future!"

Master Zhao held his hand and said generously: "I am a person who is easy to talk to, especially for juniors like you. Just give me some instructions."

After Yiyi said goodbye, Master Zhao ran to the pavilion with thoughts in thought. No matter how you look at this Chen Ao, it makes people feel very simple, but this further proves that this person must be a cunning person with a square outside and a round inside.

But how did he win the trust of the Duke and make him favor?

Master Zhao thought about it, but he could not think of the crux of the problem. Now Chen Ao's reputation in the inner palace is at its peak, and the Duke and his wife are all protecting him, making him, the head of the inner palace, very dirty.

If this continues, I am afraid that this is the main task. No, I can't just admit defeat. Chen Ao Chen Ao. If I can't even deal with you, my life will be in vain.

After making up his mind, Chief Zhao began to sort out the matter. First, he had to pull out the words from Chen Ao. What method did he use to confuse the Duke? Knowing the advantages of this kid, and then taking the next step.

"Okay, that's it!" Director Zhao thought of making up his mind, so he hurried to the kitchen. The kitchen directly leads to the wine cellar underground. Only Director Zhao has a key, and there are countless wines in it. Director Zhao greeted the chefs and then went down to bring a jar of wine.

Director Zhao ordered the chef: "Cook a few side dishes and send them to Chen Shutong's house."

The chef didn't dare to ask too much, and agreed to it as if he was pleased.

Master Zhao returned to Chen Ao's residence and hugged the small wine jar outside and whispered loudly: "Chen Shutong, Chen Shutong..."

Chen Ao opened the window and poked his head out: "Oh, it's Zhao again. Has Zhao left something behind?"

Master Zhao smiled and said, "It's rare to hide today. I have a jar of excellent bamboo leaf wine here. Today I have a few drinks with Chen Shutong."

Chen Aodong went downstairs and opened the door for Director Zhao, while saying, "Master Zhao is so polite. I should have invited Director Zhao to drink."

"It's okay!" Master Zhao entered the house and said with a smile: "Shen Shutong and I are very destined to be together. In the future, we will see you in the inner mansion. We have long wanted to make friends with you."

Chen Ao hurriedly went to prepare the tables and chairs, took the wine jar of Director Zhao and said, "Master Zhao is troublesome."

There was no wine glass in the room, and there were still some bowls and plates. Chen Ao did not obey any elegance. He directly poured the wine with a blue and white bowl and said, "Chen Ao first respects Zhao for a bowl."

Director Zhao drank, wiped off the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let's drink slowly, and someone will send you some wine and food later. We will never return tonight without getting drunk."

Chen Ao smiled bitterly and said, "Chen Ao is very light-hearted, I'm afraid he'll get drunk without two bowls. At that time, Master Zhao will laugh."

Master Zhao laughed and said, "There are no outsiders here, just drink boldly."

The wine was not pure at this time. After drinking a bowl of wine, Chen Ao said that he had a light alcohol tolerance and actually had no pressure at all. Instead, Zhao's face turned slightly red.

With a little drunkenness, the two of them put down their airs. Director Zhao said in a nagging manner: "Chen Shutong, you seem to be very familiar with Chun'er these days?" He patted his chest and laughed: "If you have the will, I will talk to your wife and let you be united forever. Haha, don't forget me, the big matchmaker."

Chen Ao cursed in his heart: "Chun'er and I still need you to be matchmakers, and the dog will take the rat." However, his face turned slightly red, and he said a little Haoran: "Master Zhao is interested, so I can't hurry up. Let's talk about it later."

At this moment, a chef brought some wine and vegetables, all of which were cooked beef, pork liver, chicken and other meats. Chen Ao tasted the chicken and was about to curse. He was really different from his fate. The food he was a book boy was also eaten in the kitchen. Why did the dishes that Zhao ordered were different from the taste of his usual food? It turns out that these chefs treated them separately. They had worked hard to treat the Duke, Madam, and the people who were in charge, and the servants were all perfunctory to eat?

Well, it seems that you still have ideals in life, and you have no future in being a servant!

Chen Ao deeply realized the gap between them.

However, there is another thing that can be proved that these evil cooks really have no future. They stayed in the kitchen all day and didn't even ask about the news. Chen Shutong has now become a Duke and a big celebrity in front of his wife. They are still ignorant. It seems that these people have only been a chef for the rest of their lives. If they flatter the wrong way, someone will take revenge.

The two of them were drinking and chatting. After a few bowls of wine were already drunk, Chen Ao seemed to be exhausted and refused to drink any more. However, Zhao ordered the man to drink and said, "Chun Chen, after doing this bowl, we will give up, come, come, come, I will fill you up."

After drinking this bowl of wine, Director Zhao said again: "I am happy to drink today, and I will drink another bowl. You and I will fall into this situation at first sight. Do you even refuse to even give me a bowl of wine?"

Chen Ao had no choice but to continue drinking, his tongue had already begun to be knotted, and Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Master Zhao, you can't drink this wine anymore. If you drink it, you're afraid that you can't go back to the Duke tomorrow morning."

"Oh?" Chief Zhao pricked his ears: "I don't know what to say?"

Chen Ao showed a hint of vigilance and smiled foolishly, "I won't tell you."

Master Zhao was anxious and said, "Then let's drink again." As he said that, he wanted to pour wine for Chen Ao again.

Chen Ao quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, I said, I said it's not okay? I'll save you this wine." He burped and said mysteriously: "The Duke has taken a fancy to one of my paintings."

"Painting?" Zhao Zhushi suddenly felt that this painting was not simple. Who is the Duke of the Kingdom and has never seen any rare treasures. Where can ordinary paintings be seen in his eyes, he deliberately sneered: "The Duke of the Kingdom has many treasures, so he will not like your paintings."

Chen Ao was anxious and slapped the table and said, "Who... who said he was not favored? This is the handwriting of the official family, worth tens of thousands of yuan, and even if he has money, he can't buy it. Master Zhao, think about it, is the official family's painting good?"

"Of course it's excellent. It's said that the official family is the most powerful painter in my Song Dynasty in a century."

Chen Ao stood up, with a foothold on the stool, leaned down and went to see the affairs officer Zhao, and said drunk: "But is there any official paintings circulating in the market?"

Master Zhao thought for a while and said, "Who is the official family? His paintings are naturally collected in the palace and will definitely not flow out. Occasionally, some hand-copied and copied are all drawn by some nobles who saw the original works in the palace and went home."

Chen Ao said loudly: "That's it. There is only one official painting in the market, and this painting is in my hands."

Master Zhao was half-believing and half-doubted, and said in his heart: "How could he have official paintings? Isn't this possible?"

But all the signs forced him to believe it, otherwise how could the Duke of the State suddenly change his view of Chen Ao?

Chen Ao laughed loudly and said, "Master Zhao must not believe me. OK. If you don't believe me, go and inquire. Speaking of the lawsuit I encountered yesterday, it was drawn because of this."

"Oh?" Master Zhao raised his heart and asked deliberately: "I only heard that it has something to do with a father-in-law, and it is a father-in-law who wants to sue you."

Chen Ao sneered: "Actually, this painting was stolen by Eunuch Cao. He stole the painting and did not dare to make a statement, but I happened to be given to me... Haha..." He deliberately did not talk about the specific process, and asked Master Zhao to use his imagination. He continued: "Mr. Cao knew that I stole his painting, but he did not dare to ask me blatantly, so he had to report to the official, but said that I had defrauded his sister's money. Hehe... In fact, he was not drunk, and deliberately wanted to force me to hand over the painting with the government. This matter is too important. Master Zhao, you must not tell me."
