An Yan smiled and said, "How can you see that this is a fake?" ”

Di San'er said: "Uncle An, don't pay attention to him, the stinky scholar will talk nonsense." ”

She wanted to continue, but Shen Ao glared at her, she was startled, so she didn't dare to say any more, and her body couldn't help leaning towards An Yan, seeking An Yan's protection.

Shen Ao smiled: "It's very simple. With that, Shen Ao picked up the wine vessel and said, "Mr. An, can you see the traces of old on this wine vessel?" ”

Oldness is an important joint in the forgery of antiquities, it can be said that the quality of a fake, in the end, it depends on whether the old is fine enough, the most common way is to use mud with fine sand, the fake is gently rubbed. In order to wipe off the scratches, it is also polished with cowhide glue dipped in oil. This method is used to make fakes lose their luster and pass off as antiquities. However, this is only the lowest method, at first glance it does look like an antiquity, but on closer inspection, you can finally find flaws. Because the ancient porcelain has been rubbed for a long time, although it shows the old color, after all, there are still difficult frictions and leaks with bright colors; The counterfeit products are all worn out and have no bright color.

An Yan shook her head and said, "Forgive the old man's clumsiness, and he didn't see any traces of oldness. ”

Shen Ao smiled and showed him the bottom of the wine vessel: "Sir, please look at this base, especially the subtleties of the four feet, if there are traces of friction." ”

An Yan looked at it, her face changed suddenly, and the four feet of the base clearly had scratches, but the strange thing was that this scratches were very ingenious, if you didn't look closely, it would be impossible to recognize them, An Yan couldn't help but say: "Is this wine vessel really a fake?" Why didn't Shen Gongzi say it earlier? ”

Shen Ao smiled: "If you just said it, will Mr. spend 1,500 yuan to buy a treasure?" He smiled and said: "Although this is a fake, but if I guess correctly, this wine vessel should be a forgery of the Jin people, although it is not a thing of the Han court, it can be regarded as an antiquity." ”

"Is it a Jin person's fake?" An Yan didn't dare to underestimate Shen Ao at this moment, and said, "Please ask Shen Gongzi to teach you." ”

Seeing Shen Ao's bullish appearance, and seeing An Yan worshipping him like a god, Di San'er was immediately very unhappy, and sat there sulking angrily.

Shen Ao said: "It's very simple, please look at this inscription sir." ”

An Yan looked at the inscription on the wine vessel, the three words of Jun Xingjiu were impressive, An Yan shook his head, and said: "Most of the wine vessels in the Han Dynasty will be engraved with this inscription, where does Shen Gongzi think the mistake is?" ”

Shen Ao reminded: "Look at this character, can there be such a font in the Han Dynasty?" These three characters are the small Kai created by Zhong Xuan at the end of the Han Dynasty, which is different from the regular script of the Han Dynasty, so the age of this wine vessel should be in the Three Kingdoms period. Xiaokai was created by Zhong Xuan, but he was not mature when he created, until later generations, only gradually perfected Xiaokai, Mr. look at this word, the structure of the glyph is reasonable, the pen is delicate, and the structure is changeable. It was only in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty that this style was formed. Immediately, he laughed: "Moreover, the style of this line of calligraphy happens to be the same as the penmanship of Wang Xizhi's Wang Youjun. It is rumored that Wang Youzhi is a good man and loves to drink, he taught people to make a lacquered wine utensil, and personally wrote an inscription for this wine utensil, which also makes sense. Mr. An, how is a wine vessel of Wang Xizhi compared to the wine vessel of the court in the Han Dynasty? ”

An Yan said: "The ink treasures and utensils left by Wang Youjun in the world are precious, and such wine utensils are unique. Although there are many royal things in the Han Palace, there are many wine utensils that have survived in the world, and this wine utensils are more precious. ”

Shen Ao nodded: "That's why the student said that this wine set is at least more than 30,000 yuan, and now, Wang Xizhi has a lot of admirers, and the price is higher, but I am afraid that there will be people who are willing to pay for it." ”

Di San'er saw Shen Ao's words that made An Yan impressed, and said: "We don't sell this wine utensils, you stinky scholar is full of copper smell, hmph, you don't look like a good person at first glance." ”

An Yan hurriedly said: "Little grandma, don't neglect your guests. At this time, An Yan looked at Shen Ao's eyes differently, and said to the guy: "Serve the best wine and entertain distinguished guests." ”

Shen Ao hurriedly shook his hand and said, "The student is already a little drunk, and he can't drink with Mr. anymore, so let's change it." After a while, it will be the final examination of the Guozijian, and the students will have to prepare their homework, sir, and they will take their leave. ”

An Yan said very regretfully: "I can't listen to Shen Gongzi's knowledge, An is really sorry, after the final test, An personally taught someone to invite Gongzi to drink, by the way, invite your classmates by the way." He instructed Xiao Er beside him: "In the future, Shen Gongzi will bring his friends to drink, and the wine money will be free." ”

De San'er pouted and snorted, "I'm going to sleep." With that, he walked away disgruntled.

Shen Ao said goodbye and went out, returned to Guozijian and fell asleep, and woke up the next day, without being distracted, and studying with peace of mind.

In half a month is the final examination, which is not the same as the final examination, which is a bit like the graduation examination, and only after the final examination can you be eligible for the imperial examination.

Once you enter the Guozijian, even if you have a fame, you can not go to the local examination, and you can participate in the imperial examination if you get the status of a child or a talent.

However, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you don't want to take the exam, the internal rules of the Guozijian are very strict, and it has long been clearly stipulated that only after the final examination can you participate in the imperial examination.

In addition, there is only one final examination, whether it is a student or a prison student, as long as you want, you can read here for a lifetime, but once you choose the final examination, then it is considered a completion, so this is why many talented people such as Cheng Hui of Taixue, Xu Wei and Cai Lun of Guozijian are still studying, with their knowledge, it is naturally easy to pass the final examination and pass the imperial examination, but there is only one chance for the final examination and the imperial examination, so most people are very cautious when making a choice, and would rather stay in school for an extra year, I won't rush to take the test.

On February 11, the final examination was released, to the effect that the students were asked to sign up, there were not many people who applied for the examination here in Guozijian, Wu Bi was the first to sign up, he was not young, while his father had not yet been promoted, he should take the imperial examination as soon as possible, and he could get some care on the way in the future. As for the others, most of them just shook their heads, the final examination was better, but after taking the final examination, it was considered a completion, and they could not come back to study in the future, once they lost in the imperial examination, it would be very bad.

Besides, there was also news from Taixue, saying that Cheng Hui, Xu Wei and others also applied for the exam this year, so many strong people have registered, and this year's imperial examination is only afraid that it will be more difficult, so it is better to wait for the next year.

For the sake of the final examination, Tang Yan personally called Shen Ao to Chongwen Pavilion, and now, Shen Ao is his future son-in-law, Tang Yan naturally cares about his future.

Whether to participate in the final examination or not is indeed a difficult matter to decide, but Shen Ao has already had an idea, and when Tang Yan asked, he said very firmly: "The student has made up his mind and intends to apply for the exam." ”

Tang Yan wanted to say something, but seeing that Shen Ao was very resolute, he didn't say anything more, but just encouraged him to take the test well, and sent a few more books.

Ignoring things outside the window, and only reading the books of sages and sages, this sentence is a portrayal of Shen Ao's now, he works hard, has his own tenacity, and after arranging his time reasonably, he will not return home even if he is on vacation, and he will study hard.

There are only more than 20 people in the entire Guozi Prison who have reported for the final examination, which is the least in previous years, and the prisoners heard that Cheng Hui and Xu Wei of Taixue, Shen Ao and Wu Bi of Guozi Prison have all registered, where do they dare to compete with these talents.

Wu Bi simply moved his quilt to Shen Ao's bedroom, carrying a book bag and Shen Ao to review his homework together, the two of them were also interesting, in addition to reading, they went to make a pot of tea or asked someone to buy a pot of wine, after sitting opposite each other, each came up with a question, taught each other to solve the problem, undertake the question, and whoever lost would be punished for tea or wine.

In fact, Wu Pen's level of scripture and righteousness is not bad compared with Shen Ao, Shen Ao's specialty lies in his brain, thinking is often different from ordinary people, and solving problems is often much faster than Wu Pen, and he is deeply rooted in Chen Ji's true biography, and he is very proficient in the way of filling in words. And Wu Pen's specialty lies in stability, he is a scholarly family, he has been reading since he was a child, and he is familiar with the four books and five classics and the scriptures and scriptures of the past dynasties, so sometimes Shen Ao has some strange questions, and he can also answer them fluently.

Seeing that the two of them were studying hard, the classmates did not dare to disturb them, but a few of them were close to them, and occasionally offered some food to treat them, and sometimes they would borrow and transcribe some sample texts to show them.

As the days passed, the weather was even hotter, the summer was gradually coming, the mosquitoes and acquaintances in the night disturbed people and couldn't sleep, Shen Ao lit the lamp, Wu Bi also turned over from the bed, it turned out that he was not asleep, Shen Ao smiled and said: "What, Brother Wu can't sleep?" ”

Wu Bi smiled bitterly: "The weather is hot and sultry, and there are many mosquitoes, which makes people upset. If you teach someone to enter the examination room at this time, I am afraid that the paper will be collected and it will be all nonsense. ”

Shen Ao picked the wick, the room was brighter, pushed the window and looked out, and saw the noise in the pergola by the lake in the distance: "Look, they didn't sleep either, it's too hot." One thing suddenly came to his mind, if he prepared anti-mosquito medicine and sold it in various tea shops, he was afraid that the business would be booming. Then there was a wry smile, not to mention that the production process of mosquito coils is troublesome, and this thing needs to be lit at night, and most of the houses at this time are wooden, and a lot of firewood and grass must be added. Shaking his head, he said, "Is there still tea in the house?" Let's have a cup of tea and read a book. ”

Wu Bi nodded, went to look for the tea can, and found that the tea can was empty, so he took the empty can and said: "I'll go to Wang Ming to ask for some tea, maybe they still have hot water." "Walked away with the tea can.

Shen Ao sat on the couch in a daze, alone in a daze.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and Shen Ao thought that Wu Bi was back, so he said, "Brother Wu, is the tea coming?" ”

"Shen Gongzi." The person who came was a Xu official, this Xu official was obviously awakened by someone, and he was a little sleepy-eyed, so he saluted Shen Ao and said: "Outside Jixian Gate, someone is looking for you, and it is too noisy outside, saying that there is something very important, and I must see you." ”

Someone came to look for him so late, Shen Ao was full of suspicions, he didn't know who it was, he got up and said, "I'm sorry for you." With that, he put on a coat and went out with the officials.

The official chattered along the way: "If you come to call someone in the middle of the night, if you don't come to find Shen Gongzi, I will ignore him." ”

These words are naturally a bit flattering, Shen Ao is like a mirror in his heart, he is the son-in-law of the wine lord, don't look at Tang Yan at home a little can't straighten his waist, but in this country, the eunuch is full of words.

When he arrived at Jixian Gate, he saw a person waiting for a long time with a lantern, Shen Ao asked the official to go back and rest first, walked over, and saw that this person was just a small guy pretending, so he asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Not far away, someone in the carriage of a carriage said, "It's me." ”

The voice of the person who spoke was crisp and familiar, and when the person came out of the carriage, Shen Ao saw the person's appearance clearly, and it turned out to be Di San'er.

In the middle of the night, Desan came to find out what she was doing.

Could it be ...... Is it to seek revenge?

Shen Ao glanced at Di San'er, but saw that this little girl was a little different today, not only was she arrogant, but her eyes were full of tears, her eyes were red and red, and she should have cried in the carriage.

What's going on? Ben Gongzi hasn't spanked her in the past few days.
