In the spring season, Kaifeng Prefecture has a humid and gentle climate and abundant rainfall, which is somewhat similar to the later Jiangnan.

It rained another night on March 20, and it stopped gradually at the fourth day of the next day. Wu Haogu walked out of Daxiangguo Temple and breathed the particularly fresh air after the rain, and the depression in his heart was cleaned up.

Today is the time to sing and sell the "original" of "Drunk Arhat Picture".

If you can sell it for a good price, the Wu family will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but if you can't sell it for a price...

Wu Haogu's eyebrows gradually frowned again.

Guo Jing also saw Wu Haogu’s thoughts, so he had to whisper, "Da Lang Mo You, but the copy was sold for 8,000 yuan five days ago. Why did you sell it for 16,000 yuan today? Then, we brothers will lend you all the money we deserve, and we will have 24,000 yuan. Are you still afraid that we won’t pay back the accounts of the palace and Wanjia Shop?"

"Yes, if it's not sold well, we'll lend you the one we deserve."

"Dalang, brothers, I will always help you overcome the difficulties in front of you."

After Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu also expressed their opinions one after another.

Obviously, they had already discussed it in advance and would help Wu Haogu overcome the difficulties no matter what. This is the good brother in trouble!

Wu Haogu did not make any mistakes, but bowed to the three of them and said, "Haogu has thanked me... This time it is just the beginning. This painting activity can continue in the future, and it will always make the brothers rich."

"Okay, one word is certain!"

“That’s what it should be.”

"Let's get rich together."

Guo, Liu and Fu also had a refreshing personality, and they all laughed and answered Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu nodded, "I won't say much, Haogu will go first, wait for you in the Wanjia Shop... Then, I will make a good match together!"

This game is different from the previous game. Wu Haogu did not pretend to be a servant, but wanted to go to the front station to serve as a tutor. After all, singing and selling calligraphy and paintings in Guishi had never happened in the past, so Wu Haogu was not sure, so he decided to take a step to sit in Wanjia Shop.

"Making a support" is a common hype method used in calligraphy and painting. In singing and selling activities, "providing" must be arranged to avoid the scene of singing and selling.

Since Wu Haogu was out of hand, he had to get on his horse and serve as a tutor.

The distance from Daxiangguo Temple to Guishizi on East Cross Street is not close. You have to walk east along Bianhe Street for several miles, turn to the second Tianshui Lane and walk north until you go to Maxing Street and then go north, go to Panlou Street and turn east, and walk for a while, which is the famous Guishizi on East Cross Street.

Because Wu Haogu went out too early, before dawn, there were no pedestrians on the street, as if he was the only one holding a lantern and hurriedly hurriedly carrying a lantern.

...

Jiesin Lane, in the three-story Pan family's gold, silver and silk shop, and in a daughter's boudoir, the lights were lit before dawn.

Pan Qiaolian was dressing up, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl brought a veil next to her and whispered: "Master Li is already waiting in the lobby. He said that if the Eighteenth Sister is too tired, he can handle it."

It turned out that Pan Qiaolian lived in the shop last night and got up early this morning, which was also thanks to Wu Haogu. However, she did not go to Wanjia Shop to buy paintings, but to provide "financial services" to several big buyers.

The amount of the transaction you want to do today is likely to reach tens of thousands of dollars!

Even if you use the date value of the hundred silks, you have to transfer hundreds or thousands of them, which is very inconvenient to trade. Therefore, several major customers who saved money in the Pan Family Store asked to send someone to take charge of the settlement.

This matter should have been from Pan Xiao'an, but unfortunately, because there was a warning from the west that Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia was ordering troops and was about to come at some time. So Pan Xiao'an received another military order to support the Japanese army on duty.

Pan Qiaolian had to "go on behalf of her brother" and got up early and took the manager to Wanjia Shop with her friend.

"Even the old man can get up early. How old am I? Why can't I get up? Xiaopinger, let's go."

Pan Qiaolian smiled faintly, then stood up and took the hat and walked out the door. Her female envoy, who called "Xiao Pinger", quickly carried a cloth bag that could be cross-body on one shoulder and followed her out.

...

In the northwest of Kaifeng inner city, on the Jinshui River, the golden and green towers, and the willows hanging by Baoning, the old prince-consor Wang Cheng, who is already fifty years old this year, rarely got up early. At this time, he was changing clothes under the servitude of a concubine who was yawning all over the sky. In his bedroom, there was a triangular easel, which was seventy or eighty-eight-eight-eight-similar to the easel made by Wu Haogu.

There are also drawing boards on the easel, and there are also raw and mature Xuanxuan on the board. On the rice paper, the drawing is made with charcoal strips. The content on the drawing is almost exactly the same as the "Sang Family Wazi Picture" given to Gao Qiu by Wu Haogu, and it is obviously a copy.

After his wife, Princess of Shu, died early, and several concubines were beaten by Emperor Shenzong of Song, and were beaten to soldiers. He was repeatedly deposed (although Wang Shi married the princess, his fate was a bit bumpy. He was first implicated by his friend Su Dongpo, and then demoted because his wife died early). Afterwards, calligraphy, painting, poetry and lyrics became his sustenance.

However, for a good painting, I have not seen it for many years since I got up so early.

Gao Qiu's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Prince Concubine, Xiaomi official has arrived."

The official Xiaomi official is Mi Youren. He and Wang Shu are flies at the age of the year and are also soulmates in the journey of calligraphy and painting. They made an appointment to go to Sujia Shop today to see the original "Drunk Arhat Picture".

Wang Shu yawned and asked, "Is the carriage ready?"

“It’s ready.”

"Then go." Wang Shi attacked the concubine who was serving beside him, who immediately helped him up and walked out the door together.

...

"Who is going?"

At this moment, not far from the son-in-law Wang Shi, Baoning's title was awarded to Liu Youfang, the deputy governor of the ** Provincial Department of Attendance. The old man with a young and handsome face was talking to Liu Ai from the Hanlin Academy of Painting.

"Dad, as the child knows, the people who went there are the son-in-law Wang Jinqing, the magistrate of the Duan Prince's Mansion Wu Gongqi (Wu Yuanyu), the Guangzhou defense envoy Zhao Danian (Zhao Lingrang), the Mi Youren from the Mi Xiangyang family, and the Beijing Institute of Pawns and Academic Affairs Office as the custody Cai Ju'an (Cai You) and the Censor-General Li Boshi, as well."

Liu Ai called this old man "Dad". It seems that this old man is Liu Youfang, the deputy governor of the ** Shishi Province, the Zhongwei Doctor, the Mizhou Defense Envoy, and the contract is in charge of Liu Youfang.

"Will you go to King Duan?" Liu Youfang asked.

"No." Liu Ai replied, "But King Duan said that no matter who gets the original, he will have to borrow him to watch it for a few days."

Liu Youfang nodded and said, "The King Duan is not suitable to go... The person who sells paintings is an observation of the Western Army. King Duan is the prince of the Song Dynasty, how can he go?"

When the prince and the border generals were in contact, and there were tens of thousands of financial transactions. Zhao Ji couldn't clean it even if he jumped into the Bian River, so he would definitely not go.

"Oh, by the way." Liu Ai said again, "I heard from someone that King Duan had a copy of a boundary painting from the prince-consort of the king a few days ago. I liked it very much and copied it in the palace every day, as if I was fascinated."

"Bijiehua?" Liu Youfang was stunned, "Duang Duan likes Shangjiehua again? Dalang, where is there a good Bijiehua platform?"

"The boy told Chen Youwen to go and search."

"Very good." Liu Youfang stood up, "It's almost time, so go... By the way, have you brought enough money?"

"No need to bring money," Liu Ai smiled. "The child asked the Pan family's gold, silver and silk shop to send someone to the store. Just withdraw the amount of money."

"Okay, that's great." When Liu Youfang walked out of the outside door, he suddenly saw a servant following Liu Ai holding two hats in his hand, so he said, "No need to wear a hat."

"No hat? Dad, that's the rule of Guishizi..."
