After they parted with Huang Degong, Wu Zheng returned to Wuzhuang with the sandalwood box.

After entering Zhuangzi, Wu Zheng went directly to Zhou Simin's residence.

Just at the door, Wu Zheng was stopped.

Unlike in the past, it is not Xiaoman who blocked Wu's fight today, but Uncle Zheng.

"Uncle Zheng, what do you mean?" Wu Zheng asked with a little drunken look.

"Sir Wu, come back, the young master has already rested."

"It's just passed the Xu hour, so how can I sleep so early?"

"Young Master was unwell and lay down earlier."

Wu Zheng looked at Uncle Zheng and felt a little annoyed. He thought of coming excitedly and being turned away. No one was in a bad mood.

"I bother Uncle Zheng to go in and report it, and I said I had something to ask for Yi brother."

"Mr. Wu, let's come again tomorrow. It's night, after all... there is a difference between men and women."

Wu Zheng was annoyed, "Old Zheng, I think you are a loyal and righteous person, so I respect you three times. Don't be too much? Get out of the way."

Uncle Zheng had a dead face, but he just refused to let him go.

Wu Zheng was furious and pulled Uncle Zheng away, "You are just a servant. Even if Zhou Simin is a woman, then I will be a sworn brother with me... Brother and sister, it was not late at night, and I came to see my sworn sister in front of you and Xiaoman. Where did the defense between men and women come from? If you dare to stop me, don't blame me for turning against others."

At this time, Zhou Simin's cold voice came from the room, "Wu Zheng, what do you want to do?"

Wu Zheng cursed as he walked, "First it was Xiaoman, then Uncle Zheng, who opposed me repeatedly. You are so good. He even called out to Big Brother at the beginning. In just a few hours, Wu Zheng was whispering. I want to ask, what do you want to do...?"

After entering the room, when he saw Zhou Simin looking at him coldly, Wu Zheng swallowed up his complaints.

In this world, some people's eyes can speak.

Of course, the premise is that you can understand it.

Wu Zheng could understand, so he swallowed his grudges.

"My sister, I'm here to see you, by the way... uh, by the way, I got a good thing today and I want to show you."

As he spoke, Wu Zheng put the wooden box on the table and then pulled the lid open.

Zhou Simin glanced at him, "I've seen it. Can you go back?"

Wu Zheng said awkwardly: "The person who gave me the Jade Buddha said it was a late Tang Dynasty item. Although the Wu family is considered a wealthy family, they are not proficient in this artifact of the previous dynasty. I thought that my sister came from a famous family and thought she had some knowledge of this Jade Buddha, just want to ask, is this Jade Buddha valuable?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Simin glanced at the Jade Buddha again and said, "I am also an amateur in appreciating antiquities and can't help you."

Wu Zheng was a little disappointed, "I originally thought that if it was valuable, I would sell it to the public to add some clothing and utensils to the people on the beach. It was getting colder. Forget it, let's take a rest and say goodbye."

After saying that, he reached out to put away the wooden box.

"Let's go." Zhou Simin said.

"What else does the pampered sister have?"

"Although I don't know how to appreciate it, someone here understands it."

Wu Zheng asked: "Who?"

Zhou Simin lowered his face and said, "Uncle Zheng."

"Uh..." Wu Zheng was embarrassed and looked at Uncle Zheng, speechless for a moment.

Zhou Simin said: "Uncle Zheng, for his good intentions and to help the poor people, let's take a look."

Uncle Zheng ignored Wu Zheng and bowed to Zhou Simin and said, "Yes."

After walking forward, Uncle Zheng took out the jade Buddha from the wooden box with both hands and looked at it carefully several times.

Then he spoke, "I am just a layman, but I have seen a lot of them before and heard of many jade artifacts. As far as I know, the jade artifacts of the Tang Dynasty were mostly mainly Khotan blue and white jade. In the middle and late periods, funeral jade disappeared, mainly Buddhist jade artifacts, practical jade vessels, and decorative jade. Buddhist jade artifacts are mostly Jade Buddha and Feitian jade. The carvings of this jade Buddha are all excellent. Although I dare not say that it is a thing of the late Tang Dynasty, it should be almost the same."

Wu Zheng was confused when he heard this, so he simply asked, "Uncle Zheng said clearly, is this jade Buddha valuable?"

"valuable."

"Uh... how much money can it be worth?"

"If you don't talk about anything else, just say that this piece of jade can be worth at least a thousand taels of silver."

Wu Zheng took a breath and a seventh-rank county magistrate gave him a thousand taels of silver at will.

It really happened that the Qing magistrate has been 100,000 silver.

"I didn't expect this dog official to take action so generously." Wu Zheng shook his head and sighed.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Simin heard it and asked coldly: "The dog official you mentioned is the magistrate of Huang County?"

"Yes, I invited him to drink in the evening, so he gave me this Jade Buddha, saying that he had been with me for more than ten years."

Zhou Sishi was furious and said, "You know that he was involved in important officials of the court and secretly communicated with the Qing Dynasty. He still had a banquet with him and accepted such a heavy gift. You...you..."

When Wu Zheng saw it, he hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, please listen to me first."

Wu Zheng discussed with Li Ruhai how to steal secret letters from the inner yamen, and told Zhou Simin one by one.

Zhou Simin's face suddenly became clear, "Even so, you shouldn't accept this gift. A gentleman is more important than righteousness. If you don't want to be with him, why should you accept him more gifts?"

Wu Zheng was stunned, "My dear sister, the jade used by the jade Buddha was not picked by him, right? This jade Buddha was not carved by him, right? This jade Buddha was just passed by his hand and entered my hand. It is said that those who have virtue live in it, while those who have no virtue lose it. Therefore, the jade Buddha came to my hand and proved that he had no virtue and I had virtue."

Zhou Simin was stunned by Wu Zheng's distortion.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter how you get it, as long as you use it for good deeds, it will be a good thing. I will go to Shining Street tomorrow to sell it to exchange for the people for winter."

After hearing what Wu Zheng said, Uncle Zheng sighed slightly.

When Wu Zheng heard this, he turned around and asked, "Does Uncle Zheng have something to say?"

Uncle Zheng said: "Such exquisite thing should be kept at home for being passed down to the world. I sold it... Alas, it's a pity."

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "No matter how good it is, it is just a dead thing. It cannot be eaten as food. Isn't it more worth it to solve the worries of winter for the people? Besides, even if you keep it, maybe when will the Qing army go south and be robbed. My dear sister, rest early, Wu Zheng said goodbye."

After saying that, Wu Zheng left happily.

Zhou Simin looked at Wu Zhengdi's back and sighed: "I really don't know whether he is true or false, loyal or traitor. I always feel that he is wrong, but when I think about it, I think it's right. Is there such a person in the world?"

Uncle Zheng nodded and said, "I am a little confused. I listen to his words and observe his actions. Sometimes I am open-minded and generous, sometimes I am insidious and vulgar. But often in this seemingly sinister and vulgar, people can't help but feel... I admire him. Uh... I have lost my words, I hope the young master will forgive me."

Zhou Simin waved casually and said, "Where is the crime?"

Xiaoman suddenly spoke, "I'm so tired when I heard you said it. It's actually very simple. He's just a casual person."

After hearing this, Zhou Simin looked at each other with Uncle Zheng and thought to himself, are you really casual?
