Chen Ao played with the agate ring in his hand, and looked at the traces and colors on the ring, and knew it in his heart that the ring was extraordinary, at least a hundred years old. Look at this style, it should be an antique from the Tang Dynasty, and there was an open and open-minded craft. Before the Tang Dynasty, the ancients did not have the custom of wearing rings, so ring rings were not common, and the craftsmanship was stagnant for a considerable period of time. By the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere gradually opened up, and coupled with the fusion of customs in foreign lands, the ring gradually became an ornament. Because of this, many crafts gradually began to be improved. The agate ring in Chen Ao's hand was quite delicate, and the agate embedded on the ring was also very rare. I am afraid that it was brought by the Dashi merchant from the foreign land.

Through this information, Chen Ao vaguely guessed that this was most likely a treasure left by the palace or princes, and the value should be more than 500 jin. Chen Ao glanced at Eunuch Cao and thought to himself, where did Eunuch Cao get the ring? Soon he understood that Eunuch Cao was the deputy envoy of the Jiaofang, with little power, but it was not small. Those prostitutes who provided the officials with fun would some officials give some gifts, and these gifts often ended up in the hands of eunuchs of the Jiaofangsi.

No matter the official, singing girl or eunuch Cao, the ringer was not able to see the value of its cultural relics. It was just that the agate alone should be more than 100 stagnant. Eunuch Cao was so sexy, so he wore it on his hands to show off. If this dead eunuch knew that he was wearing an antique, he would be even more beat his chest and stamp his feet.

Chen Ao put away the agate ring and should not reveal its wealth. This is the most wise saying, and it is also the code of the art thief.

After coughing, Chen Ao smiled and said to Eunuch Cao, "I won't go to the Houya, I have something to do. Eunuch Cao and the magistrate will invite me for tea again." He said that, and walked to the woman and said, "Are you Mrs. Pan?"

Mrs. Pan lost her support. At this time, she looked at Chen Ao timidly, so scared that she didn't dare to speak, and nodded in fear.

Chen Ao sighed and said, "I didn't lie to Pan Ren. He was willing to exchange his own net worth for my house. I heard that the owner of Suiyashanfang is very good and is also Pan Ren's friend. Now Pan Ren is crazy and your life is gone. Go to Suiyashanfang every month and get some money to live there."

Pan Ren is responsible for his own fault, but his wife and children are not as bad as his wife and children. He can't teach his wife and children to starve to death!

Chen Ao has clear grudges. Although Mrs. Pan is going to cause trouble for him, if she doesn't have this official painting, she is afraid she has entered the class room now, but she still has sympathy. He thought to himself: "Let Wu Saner pay her ten coins every month to pay her ten coins, which is enough for her to live." Chen Ao's three views are still very positive. He is a thief, no better than those lower-ranking gentlemen. It is absolutely impossible for him to have no money, but it is not omnipotent. Taking money out to help those who should be helped is Chen Ao's principle. He can be shameless, insidious, and cheated, but one thing is that he cannot destroy his conscience and principles to do things, he can be worse for bad people, and he cannot be hard on innocent people, not to mention that this woman has her own reasons for now.

There is an old saying that there is also a way to steal. This is the code of conduct among thieves. Although it seems pedantic and ridiculous, it is a basic professional ethic of Chen Ao.

Mrs. Pan was slightly stunned. She thought Chen Ao would take the opportunity to take revenge, but she could hardly believe her ears. She didn't know whether to be grateful or resentful, but was silent.

Chen Ao had already raised his legs and left. When he arrived at the Yakou, he nodded at the Dutou of the Jingzhao Mansion, and said, "I wonder if the Dutou surname is noble?"

This head hurriedly said respectfully: "Don't let your surname be Zhang, Mr. Chen just call me Zhang Wannian." He felt very sad. Fortunately, there was no difficulty for Chen Ao just now, otherwise it would be certain that he would not be able to take advantage of it.

Chen Ao smiled at his head and said, "Please ask Zhang Dutou to have tea another day." He said that, and raised his legs and walked into the crowd outside the yamen.

People who watched the fun had already started. Since ancient times, they have not seen many bold people like Chen Ao, especially the most exciting part of the latter part. The appearance of Tongzong and Eunuch Cao made many people feel happy and cheered, but this enthusiasm comes and goes quickly. Soon, everyone scatters.

Chen Ao saw, Oh, Chen Ji is gone, this cheap teacher doesn't think he will come to join in the fun. His reputation is too great and annoying here, but it is too unfaithful to do so. He was taken away by the official, so he left with confidence?

Soon, Chen Ao's psychology became balanced. Chen Ji also saw the paintings of the official family. He knew that he had brought the paintings of the official family, and he knew that he could get rid of danger and did not have to join in the fun. Alas, this cheap teacher seemed to be very scheming.

Zeng Sui'an did not leave, and came over and said to Chen Ao with a smile: "Young Master Chen is in danger, so it's okay if you are safe."

Zeng Sui'an has a good character, Chen Ao said gratefully: "It's just that Mr. Zeng has troubled you."

He said a lot of polite words. Zeng Sui'an agreed that Chen Ao would go to Sui Yashan House for a few days, and then he said goodbye. Chen Ao was alone and walked on the street. Occao occasionally greeted him. Most of them knew Chen Ao, but Chen Ao didn't know them. Speaking of which, it was a bit too much today. First, there was a poetry meeting, and then a lawsuit. Everything was shining. It was really hard not to do this firefly and scarab. It was so eye-catching.

…………………………

The news that Chen Ao was taken by the official could not be hidden, and it spread like wildfire in the Duke Qiguo Mansion. The wife had just had a lunch break and taught Zhou Ruo to sit in the pavilion in the back garden. Then she heard a few girls with broken mouths saying something about Chen Shutong's story. Chun'er, who was standing behind her, changed her face and almost fainted. Since she deceived Pan Ren that time, Chun'er has been nervous, afraid that someone would cause trouble for Chen Ao. Unexpectedly, the more worried she was, the more she would be. She was a person who could not hide her worries, and her face suddenly turned pale as paper. She held the Tingzhu and gasped.

Zhou Ruo frowned slightly, but remained silent. He felt a little anxious. He didn't know whether he was worried about Chen Ao or something, but he always felt that he could not spit it out in his chest and could not swallow it. In front of her mother, she had no strange looks at all, and there was still a smile on her face, but her beautiful eyes flashed a little worried.

The lady called the two girls with a tiger face and said, "What happened to Chen Shutong just now?"

The two girls dared not hide it and told them about the ups and downs of the foreign palace. In fact, they didn't know much, only they knew that Chen Ao was taken to Jingzhao Mansion by an official, and they didn't know anything else.

The lady said to Zhou Ruo with a cold face: "This child Chen Ao has always been fine, how could he get involved in the official rank?"

She asked this, but she was a little skeptical and didn't believe the girls. Zhou Ruo said: "Mother, maybe someone wronged him or not."

"Yes, Chen Ao is a good child and will never do anything wrong. He is a member of the Duke's Mansion and cannot teach him to be bullied." The lady changed her past kindness at this moment. She was extremely calm and decisive. She ordered Chun'er to say, "Chun'er, you go to the master's study and teach the master. I don't believe it. Who has such a courage to not take the Duke's Mansion seriously? Xiang'er, go and find Zhao..." The lady originally wanted to call Zhao, but suddenly she paused and changed her mouth: "Call Liu Wen from the outside mansion, let him go to Jingzhao Mansion to find out the news immediately, and don't delay."

Chun'er and Xiang'er answered their orders and all left.

Zhou Ruo was very calm. As long as his mother came forward, Chen Ao would not have to worry. He smiled and said, "Mother, this Chen Ao is really true. There will always be something wrong in three or two days, but he is very nice to his mother. A few days ago, I saw him painting a Buddha statue and said he wanted to hang it in the incense hall. His paintings are very good." This is called suppressing first and then raising him. First, say something irrelevant, and then praise it. It will not make the mother suspicious and conceal her thoughts. Miss Zhou is also very scheming.

The lady exhaled and frowned, "I like this child on weekdays. Today, when he encounters such a thing, I can't let it go. Alas..." She sighed and regained her kind eyebrows. A little bit of worry appeared between the eyebrows.

Not long after, Chun'er came back to report and said, "Madam, the master is not in the study."

The lady exclaimed and said, "The master always reads books after using food, but why is he not here today?" She pondered for a moment, and felt something was wrong, so she said, "Then go and find out about Heng'er, and ask him to go to Jingzhao Mansion with his father's name and see what the Jingzhao Mansion says."

Chun'er wandered and said, "In the morning, the master also looked for the young master and said he was going to take the exam. The young master came back at noon and heard the wind and said he was going to make friends, but he has not seen anyone yet."

Zhou Heng was so sloppy. When he heard that Zhou Zheng was looking for him, he heard that he was going to take the school exam and he had already escaped. He would never dare to come back at this moment.
