Chen Ao suddenly realized that he was really great, and smiled slightly and said, "So, even if my aunt dislikes you anymore, Xiao Zhangzhang will go and find her uncle. Uncle has a good impression of you. If you can show such a little ability and make him look at him with admiration, I will be fine with your cousin."

Lu Zhizhang nodded repeatedly, his cousin was right, and then he started to wander: "What should I show in front of my uncle? I heard that my uncle likes antiques, but I am not proficient in antiques at all."

Chen Ao smiled happily in his heart, but said with a stern face: "If you talk to your uncle about antiques, it would be wrong; antiques are just hobbies, not their own career. Look, what will your uncle think of you when you look at you burying on antiques intoxicated manner? You will definitely say that you are not a good 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. Only with literary talent can my uncle value it."

"Yes." Chen Ao encouraged him: "So you have to make a fuss about poetry and let your uncle know that you, Mr. Lu, is not only a young master from a famous family, but also a talented man. Haha, what about the talented man Xiao Zhangzhang of Hongzhou?"

Lu Zhizhang's face turned red and he whispered, "Talented man? Cousin, I'm not a talented man. I haven't liked reading since I was a child. Let alone writing poetry, I have a headache when I see articles and poems."

Chen Ao sighed and said, "Does Xiao Zhangzhang have no advantages at all?"

Lu Zhizhang said: "Cousin, what should I do? After hearing what you said, I feel even less confident."

Chen Ao said: "There is another way. If it really doesn't work, let's just pretend."

"Fake it?" Lu Zhizhang felt a little guilty when he heard this.

Chen Ao said, "It's not okay to not make fake things. Why don't you do this? You can copy a few poems and see your uncle again. Then you blurt out. Uncle is usually busy with official business, or just playing with antiques, how could he suspect that this is not your poem?"

Lu Zhizhang said: "It seems not good. If my uncle sees it clearly, I am afraid... I am afraid..."

Chen Ao said, "Can you not take the risk? Xiao Zhangzhang, tell you the truth. I came from my aunt just now. Judging from my aunt's tone, I was unwilling to marry my cousin to you. If you don't fight against the enemy, I'm afraid you will be able to return to Hongzhou in disgrace."

When Lu Zhizhang heard this, his courage came and said, "I can't go back alone. I have to go back, and I have to take Miss Zhou back to get married."

"That's right, so I can only make a false statement and let my uncle value you. Then you propose marriage to my uncle. As long as my uncle agrees, this matter will not be changed." Chen Ao continued to say with a very kind smile.

Lu Zhizhang thought it made sense, so he said, "But where to go to find poetry."

Poems that are too famous are not good and can be seen through at first sight, but those who are not famous are mostly of poor quality, which makes Lu Zhizhang embarrassed.

Chen Ao smiled slightly: "It's easy to say. Go and buy a collection of Sui Essays and pick out a few poems from it. The poems included in Sui Essays are good, and most of them are new products. I guarantee that my uncle can't see it. Xiao Zhangzhang, you can grasp it yourself. My cousin has taught you everything I can, and the rest depends on you."

As he said that, Chen Ao said goodbye to Lu Zhizhang.

That night, Chen Ao called Liu Wen.

The young master of the cousin invited him, but Liu Wen had no reason not to come. He came over to see Chen Ao with a smile. Chen Ao told him about his old love, took out a collection of poems from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Master Liu, I need some help to do something."

Master Liu looked flattered: "Young Master Chou should not say this. If you have anything to say, just give me a command."

Chen Ao said: "Does my uncle usually pick up books to read in the study?"

Master Liu said: "Usually, the servants bought books and put them on the desk. The Duke of the State reads it casually. Sometimes he also remembers a certain book and asks people to pick it up."

Chen Ao nodded: "Then it's time for Director Liu to help me put this book on my uncle's desk."

Liu Wen didn't understand the truth, but knew the reason why he didn't ask what he shouldn't ask. He took the collection of poems and said, "Young Master, this matter must be done."

………………………………

Lu Zhizhang really asked to subscribe to a collection of profound poems. He studied hard and finally memorized a few poems.

A few days later, the Duke of the State sent someone to ask him to speak in the study. Lu Zhizhang was a little nervous and went there with a bit of anger.

"Young Master Lu, come and sit down." Zhou Zheng said with a smile. The days of the treasure appraisal conference are getting closer and closer, and he is in a good mood recently.

Lu Zhizhang quickly said politely and bowed to sit down.

Zhou Zheng looked at Lu Zhizhang and felt very complicated. He still liked this nephew. But for some reason, his wife's impression of him has become worse and worse recently. He saw Mr. Lu's thoughts. The nephew wanted to mention Ruoer's marriage to him. The two families formed a favor between Qin and Jin, but now there are mistakes.

Zhou Zheng was full of joy. The Lu family was a prominent family, and Mr. Lu could not find any fault. However, when he mentioned this to his wife, the wife at first said to look slowly, and then later, she had no room for slowness and refused.

Zhou Zheng was quite embarrassed when he was sandwiched between the two ends.

As usual, he first asked about Lu Zhizhang's food and accommodation. Lu Zhizhang said: "With my uncle's care, my nephew lives here very well, and there is nothing he doesn't want to get used to."

Zhou Zheng smiled and stroked his beard and jaw, and said, "Then let's live for a little longer. Anyway, Hongzhou is fine, so you can live well."

Lu Zhizhang was quite hesitant. He was too impatient. It was not a solution to live like this. If Miss Zhou’s affairs were not resolved, his heart was always hovering and unable to let go.

Zhou Zheng asked again: "It is said that my nephew stayed in the mansion and stayed in the house, but was he studying?"

When he asked this, Lu Zhizhang hurriedly said, "Yes, I usually read some books and spend some time."

Zhou Zheng was in high spirits. It would be great to be able to calm down and study later. Don’t be like his incompetent son. Then he continued to ask with interest: “What kind of book are you reading? I believe Mr. Lu’s knowledge is not bad either!”

Cold sweat had already oozed from Lu Zhizhang's forehead. Judging from his uncle's meaning, he would definitely go deeper and ask. This question would sooner or later reveal his strength. If he let his uncle know that he was ignorant of his skills, it would be bad. Then he said, "It's just to read some Tang poems, which will make his uncle laugh."

Zhou Zheng said, "Does Mr. Lu also love poetry? It's great. Mr. Lu must have written poetry, so why not read it out and listen to it for me."

Here, my uncle is going to take care of him!

Lu Zhizhang was sweating in his palms, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad. On the one hand, he finally had the opportunity to display it, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Zhou Zheng would see through it.

Lu Zhizhang pondered for a moment, plucked up the courage to stand up, and said, "Then please ask my uncle to correct me." As he said, he slowly said, "I am reading this poem now. I got it by my wonderful hand during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Don't laugh at me."

Zhou Zheng smiled and thought to himself that this nephew still had the ability to write poetry. In this way, he had underestimated him in the past. If he really wrote poetry, it would be great. He used his poem to tell his wife that even if the wife had a bad impression of him, she would have room for madness to see that he was knowledgeable and had a good family background.

Lu Zhizhang murmured: "Ten wheels of frost shadows turn into the courtyard, and this evening, the person is alone in the corner. Su E may not be without regrets, the jade toad is cold and osmanthus is lonely..." After reading it, he looked at Zhou Zheng nervously and said: "Uncle, this poem is about a traveler wandering in a foreign land. Ten years have passed, but he has not returned home. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the passenger faces the corner alone, thinking that Chang'e may not be without melancholy and resentment..."

Zhou Zheng stroked his hands and said, "Okay, good poem..."

Lu Zhizhang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this level had passed. This poem was a work by him plagiarized by Zeng Sui'an's collection of Essays.

Zhou Zheng continued: "Young Master Lu is a talented person. If you study hard, you will be very successful in the future."

Lu Zhizhang felt happy. Uncle rarely praised him, "It's great, my cousin said it very well. It seems that there is still hope for marrying a cousin."

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea, and a trace of unpredictable light flashed in his faint eyes. After saying a few words to Lu Zhizhang, Lu Zhizhang said goodbye.

When Lu Zhizhang left, Zhou Zheng's expression gradually changed. He picked up a poem book on the table with a playful look, flipped it around, stopped on a page, and murmured: "Ten rounds of frost shadows turn to the wuwu in the evening, and the people are alone in the corner... Master Lu, Mr. Lu, can you bully others, but can you bully the sky?"

He put down the poem book, sighed with a sad face, and murmured: "It seems that this young master Lu is not simple. Could it be that the children taught by the Lu family are like this?"
