Chapter 125: Pretend to be sick

As Chen Ao thought, Mrs. Shi loved orchids the most. In the garden of the Duke's Mansion, various varieties of orchids competed with each other and were charming. At this time, I heard the poem written by Chen Ao, and the sentence "The orchid is radiant and fragrant, with a deep and wide grace and a distant fragrance." Just tell the characteristics of orchids.

The following sentence, "It looks like an ancient gentleman in halal world, but he cannot hide his reputation in his door," compares orchids to people, and compares it to an ancient gentleman; giving people a beautiful image of a noble and elegant person. Isn't this the characteristic of orchids?

This poem is considered to be the best, but Chen Ao blurted out. From this, we can see Chen Ao’s talent and knowledge; in addition, this poem hits Mrs. Shi’s preferences, how could Mrs. Shi have any doubts about Chen Ao’s knowledge?

Mrs. Shi smiled and looked at Chen Ao's eyes, which naturally became a little different.

Chen Ao bowed and replied, "Orchid has always been a gentleman among flowers, so students naturally like it."

He just followed Mrs. Shi's words and said that he didn't know much about flowers. He was afraid that Mrs. Shi would continue to get involved in the problem of flowers. He smiled and continued: "It's a pity that although the students like the nobleness of orchids, they are ordinary people themselves. They can't escape the shackles of this world. They have too many distractions in their hearts, but they cannot calm down and taste the noble flowers."

Mrs. Shi nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, it's not just Mr. Chen, but me, aren't they also a person in the secular world? What kind of common things in the mansion should not be experienced and done by themselves. Although I like them, I can only take a short half of them every day to go to the flowerbed to take a look."

Chen Ao couldn't help but think in his heart: "As expected, Mrs. Shi must be a person with a strong personality. She is the big and small things in the county duke's palace. I'm afraid even the county duke can't interfere!" He said with a smile on his face: "Madam is too humble."

Mrs. Shi said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, your young man is really interesting, but I don't know if he has ever married?"

Who was there to visit? When he met someone, he asked for marriage. Mrs. Zhou smiled slightly and knew that Mrs. Shi had a very good impression of Chen Ao. Therefore, he took the liberty to ask this, and said truthfully: "I have never been married."

"That's great." Mrs. Shi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I recognize a few of these ladies from each family in Bianjing City. Take some time and I'll go and inquire for your young man to see if there is any suitable candidate."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Although Chen Ao is not young, he is still sensible in normal times. Sometimes he is a little more playful. If he can achieve a marriage and have a wife to take care of him, he may be able to calm down."

Chen Ao was speechless. When he read a poem, Mrs. Shi was thinking about her lifelong affairs. I am not mentally prepared! She is very pure!

But he didn't refuse. He was not so pretentious. Mrs. Shi was just talking now, so why should she jump out and object?

This era is a marriage arrangement era. What Chen Ao has to do is to do his best to be independent, but if he seeks life and death to oppose it, he will be sick!

Chen Ao stood aside with a smile and winked at Zhou Heng; the cousins ​​were still very tacit, and Zhou Heng hurriedly said, "Mom, my cousin and I only ate some morning tea, and we haven't eaten yet!"

At this time, Mrs. Zhou's face was radiant, Chen Ao was very committed and earned a lot of face for her. When she heard Zhou Heng say this, she hurriedly said: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Come on the kitchen and ask the chefs to get some food, so don't be hungry."

Chen Ao and Zhou Heng were overjoyed and said farewell in a hurry. Mrs. Shi called Chen Ao and said, "Young Master Chen, come, I have something to give to you."

Mrs. Shi smiled and took out two handkerchiefs from her sleeve. The handkerchief had the fragrance of orchids, which was white and soft, but there were a few beautiful orchids embroidered in the middle. Then she looked at Chen Ao and said, "This was embroidered by me when I have nothing to do. I will give it to you today. Just treat it as my gift for meeting. If I had time in the past, I would go to Wei County Duke's Mansion with my nephew Zhou Shi. Wei County Duke also wants to see you and talk to you."

Shampoo…

Chen Ao was a little depressed. This was the first time he had received such a gift. However, Mrs. Shi wanted to give it to him, so he had no reason to refuse. He quickly accepted it and said with a smile: "Mrs. Thank you."

They and Zhou Heng left the hall, went to find some food, and then went back to their rooms to go to bed.

The next morning, Chun'er came and shouted, got up proudly and confusedly, put on her clothes!

Chun'er is in a much better mood today and talks about yesterday's events in a nagging manner.

It turned out that the emperor went out in a secluded manner the day and night before, but he did not take a single guard. As a result, he arrived at the Emperor's eldest son's mansion and was alone when he left. The guards in the palace thought they had the guards of the Emperor's eldest son, but the guards in the Emperor's mansion thought that there were guards from the palace guards secretly. Later, they saw that the emperor had not returned to the palace, and after investigation, they all burst into cold sweats. No one knew the emperor's whereabouts!

Just as I was about to search everywhere, the emperor returned to the palace in time, the matter finally came to an end.

Chen Ao laughed and said, "Did the emperor go to the treasure appraisal meeting the day before yesterday? Why didn't I know, oh, he went there in a very small way."

As he said that, Chen Ao no longer paid attention to these trivial matters. What about the emperor has nothing to do with him!

At this time, Chen Ao remembered something, and then took out the Lampa given by Mrs. Shi and handed it to Chun'er and said, "Please give this fragrant pie to Chun'er. This is given by Mrs. Shi, and I, a big man, can't use it."

Chun'er's face was a little embarrassed and hesitated, and said, "Brother Shen, Chun'er can't use it either."

Chen Ao stuffed her and said with a stern face: "Please keep it away, don't lose it. I'll check it in a few days."

Chun'er grabbed Lampa and stopped refusing. She suddenly remembered her mission and said, "Brother Shen, Master is asking you to go, saying that he has something to tell you."

Chen Ao said oh, the man wanted to see him early in the morning, and I don’t know what’s wrong!

Chun'er said again: "Mr. Master came back last night and was quite distracted, as if he was full of worries. Brother Shen should pay attention when he saw Master. "

Chen Ao nodded and said, "Chun'er, have you worked hard in the mansion? I have an idea. You should go out first and go to Suiya Mountain House to help."

Chun'er shook her head and said, "I'm used to serving my wife, so it's great to stay here; Brother Shen, go and see the prince quickly, don't delay it."

Chen Ao nodded and hurried away.

In the study room, Zhou Zheng seemed a little dazed. Although he was holding a book in his hand, he was absent-minded and didn't read a single word.

Yesterday, the official family disappeared and the palace was in chaos. The eldest son was so scared that he was sweating. Later, after asking, he found out that the official family was going out with two people, but these two people had a great relationship with him, one was Chen Ao and the other was Zhou Heng.

Originally, the palace guards were going to go directly to the Duke's Mansion to find people. If the officials had not returned in time, Chen Ao and Zhou Heng would have been unable to get rid of their relationship.

Logically speaking, when the official family returned to the palace, everyone was relieved. Someone went to ask about the official family's movement, but the official family just smiled and said that the judge on duty today in Jingzhao Mansion was effective in doing things. Of course, this matter did not go deeper, but this sentence was only a very strong hint. Everyone thought to themselves that this judge was afraid he would rise to the top.

As for Chen Ao and Zhou Heng, the official family just laughed, but issued strict orders, and no one was allowed to tell Chen Ao about his identity.

This is surprising. I am not allowed to tell you. Is it a blessing or a disaster for Chen Ao?

This is what Zhou Zheng was worried about. Now it seems that the official family has a good impression of Chen Ao, but if Chen Ao is kept in the dark, maybe one day it will anger Tianyan, and something will be a big deal.

In a daze, Chen Ao came.

Zhou Zheng cheered up and asked Chen Ao to sit down without mentioning any of his thoughts. He just asked him why he was not studying in the Imperial College today.

Chen Ao had no choice but to say that he had been appraising treasure the day before yesterday, and was a little tired, so he took a few days off to come back to take a break.

Zhou Zheng then raised his face and said a few words to not slack off on studying. Later, he felt relieved, which meant that it would be a few days to rest.

Chen Ao found that his uncle was a little dazed today, and he suddenly interrupted his words many times, and he couldn't help but think: "Is it because my uncle has something to do? Maybe this matter is related to me?" Although he thought so, he didn't ask Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You have been in the limelight for this treasure appraisal. All the adults in each prefecture want to see you. If you have free time, I will take you to visit you."

Chen Ao nodded; at this moment, Liu Wen came to report with a famous post: "Mr. Tang Yantang is here."

Lord Tang?

Zhou Zheng stroked his beard and smiled bitterly: "I wonder what he is here to do?"

Although he and Tang Yan were polite when they met, they had no friendship in private.

The sudden visit of the Imperial College Supervisor was a little surprised.

Liu Wen said: "Mr. Tang heard that Master Cousin was sick, so he rushed over early this morning and said he was coming to check on Master Cousin's illness."

Liu Wen secretly glanced at Chen Ao, my god, this young master is so fierce that he looks like a patient. It seems that something is strange about this!

"Is sick?" Zhou Zheng looked at Chen Ao suspiciously.

Chen Ao had to smile bitterly and confess, "That's right. When he was on leave, he was afraid that Lord Tang would not refuse, so he had to find an excuse!"

My cousin is not good at doing things. Now Lord Tang is here to visit him. Now he is stupid. Chen Ao can only smile bitterly about this matter.

Zhou Zheng didn't mean to blame him today, so he just said oh, and did not look into it further. He was too worried and didn't have much attention to this.

Chen Ao looked at Zhou Zheng's face and said guiltily: "Or otherwise, I'll go back to my room now."

The implication is that it is time for my nephew to go back to his room to pretend to be sick, so that he should not be seen through by Lord Tang.

"Well, go." Zhou Zheng stood up and said to Liu Wen again: "Follow me to welcome guests."
