"Xiaolang, why did you bring me to Tianshui Lane? Wu Dalang seems to live here, right?"

At the intersection where Yulin Lane and the First Tianshui Lane intersected, Zhao Ji stopped and asked Pan Qiaolian beside him in confusion: "Is that Madam Mo a genius Wu Dalang?"

Zhao Ji wore a Dongpo scarf on his head, a long green printed satin gown, a sachet with a strange fragrance hanging around his waist, and pink wintersweet flowers were inserted in his ears. He looked at Pan Qiaolian with a smile and asked, with an envious look in his eyebrows.

Pan Qiaolian's dress is no different from Zhao Ji.

The moon-white satin gown was accompanied by a wool cloth cloak produced in Liao Kingdom on the outside. A leather belt was tied around her waist, and a short sword was hung on the leather belt, which was in line with her current identity as a young master of the general.

Today, Zhao Ji took a leave and did not go to court. He went to Pan Xiao'an's mansion to look for Pan Qiaolian early in the morning. Pan Xiao'an naturally would not stop him, so he immediately asked Pan Qiaolian to dress up as a man and accompany Zhao Ji out. In order to cover up, he asked the girl to bring a sword and pretend to be Zhao Ji's bodyguard.

Of course, Zhao Ji could not really let Pan Qiaolian protect him. Just a dozen steps away from him and Pan Qiaolian, the guards of more than a dozen Duan Prince's Mansion led by Gao Qiu were tightly guarding.

"That woman is not Wu Dalang's family... The Wu family is just a small family, how can we raise a family? That Madam Mo is the family of Ji Yizhi, a friend of Wu Dalang."

"who?"

Zhao Ji frowned and asked in confusion.

"It is the new Confucius Officer Kong Mu who entered the Tongwenguan, and the general Shilang Jiluo."

"It turned out to be him."

Zhao Ji then remembered the green-robed official who often went to work with Cai You in the wind and snow. He had seen this person from afar and had never spoken to him. He did not expect that this sesame mung bean official would have such a bright color at home.

"He is from a wealthy family?" Zhao Ji asked.

Pan Qiaolian smiled slightly, "His family is a wealthy man in Jiangnan. I heard that he is also doing business at sea. Perhaps this Madam Mo was brought from the West by his fleet."

"Oh." Zhao Ji nodded and said softly: "This Ji Yi is really a good person to be entrusted with.

No, since Madam Mo is from the Ji family, how could you bring me to the Wu family to find Wu Dalang?"

Pan Qiaolian had known that Zhao Ji would have such a question for a long time, and immediately said with a smile: "If you don't go to find Wu Dalang, how can you find Madam Mo? You can't just ask Ji Yi for it, right? It's not nice to spread this matter.

Ji Yi was born as a Tai student and was said to be the first talented man in the Shangshe family. He will definitely be admitted to the Jinshi in the future. How could he openly make friends with the prince?"

A civil servant who was a magistrate from a tyrant sent a woman to make friends with the prince... If this matter was to be spread, Ji Yi would immediately become the object of despised by the noble civil servants of the Song Dynasty. If Ji Yi's official position was a little older, let alone sending a woman to the prince, even if she met the prince in private, she would be impeached by the censor.

So even if you have to do this, you can't do it directly, you have to go around in a circle.

For example, if you give Mo Madam to the talented man Wu Haogu, it is okay to make friends with talented man from Wu Haogu. It is nothing to be allowed to transfer from Wu Haogu to King Duan. Even if Wu Haogu became a civil servant, he was not a clear examination. He was originally a "art officer" who accompanied the king to have fun. So it was nothing to give beauties to the prince, and the censor would not impeach a painting person...

"You're still thoughtful," Zhao Ji smiled and said with a slutty smile. "Then let's go to the Wu family."

"Yes," Pan Qiaolian smiled, "I'll lead the way."

As the two of them spoke, they walked into the First Sweet Water Alley.

...

When Pan Qiaolian and Zhao Ji went to Wuhaogu's house, the two brothers Wuhaowen were about to go out. They were going to Fenglelou for dinner. The meal at Fenglelou was decided when Wuhaogu returned to Kaifeng Prefecture.

While he was busy painting for Mo Niangzi, Zhang Xizai ordered a banquet for him and sent invitations. There were many people invited. In addition to Guo Jing, Liu Wuji, Mi Youren, Ma Zhi, Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong, and Lu Qian who returned to Kaifeng Prefecture with Wu Haogu, they also invited Ji Yi and Su Dalang. Wu Haogu called his brother Wu Haowen, and there were eleven people in total.

The banquet was set at noon, and the two brothers had already put on their clothes for the guests and spoke in the study.

"Second brother, Mi Yuanhui and Ji Yizhi will come today, you have to get closer to them."

Wu Haogu and his younger brother Wu Haowen have never been very close, but the relationship between the two brothers seems to have improved a lot recently. Since Wu Haogu returned, they have often talked together.

Most of the topics they discussed were not common things, but focused on how to climb up!

Now that Wu Haowen is fully confident in entering the Taixue School, the next key is to enter the Taixue School. You can only avoid the trial of the outer room when you enter the Taixue School, and you can avoid the trial of the inner room when you enter the inner room - that is, you have obtained a pass to become an official. However, among the 2,000 Taixue School students, only 300 can enter the inner room, and the competition is fierce, you can imagine how fierce the competition is.

Moreover, the competition here is not just a matter of whether there is real ability!

"Brother, I know that both of them are among the best and will surely make a fortune in the future."

Wu Haogu nodded. Mi Youren has done a good job in history. However, Ji Yi has never heard of it... But judging from his current behavior, I think he will have the opportunity to stand out.

There must be many characters in history who were buried because they had no chance, and their butterfly effect will definitely give many people the opportunity to rise.

"In addition," Wu Haogu said to his younger brother, "After entering the Imperial College, there must be a lot of places to spend money. Don't save money, the family has money now.

There must be many talents among students, but some people may be poor. You have to find a way to help them more. You can ask them to write and sell them to their own shops... There will always be a price that satisfies them."

The Taixue does not admit children of officials of the eighth rank or above, so there are no second generations of high-ranking officials. Those who can enter the Taixue are either rich or really talented.

The rich are disdainful to sell their words, while the wealthy are very likely to make a name for Donghuamen in the future. Therefore, it is always good to make more friends. As for low-level officials such as doctoral students, academic records, library books, and chef officials in the Imperial Academy, they should make more friends.

Therefore, it is always good to spend more money.

When Wu Haogu wanted to give a few more words, the door of the Wu family's house was snapped.

"Cannon, tent, tent..."

"Who?"

The response was Feng Erniang. Wu Chengzhi went to see the shop, and Wang Po went to buy vegetables. In addition to the Wu brothers, Feng Erniang was the one in the family.

When the gate of the yard was knocked, she was sewing clothes for Wu Haowen in the hall. When she heard the sound, she responded.

"It's me, Pan Shiba."

This is Pan Qiaolian's voice. Of course, Feng Erniang could hear that she often went to the Pan family's gold, silver and silk store, and was familiar with the Pan family's siblings.

"Here, come here." She didn't think much about it, and immediately put down her clothes and needles and threads, quickly walked into the yard to open the door for the visitors.

As soon as the door opened, Pan Qiaolian didn't see her, but saw a tall and handsome boy, with a pair of erotic and very vivid eyes looking at her.

Feng Erniang frowned slightly and whispered: "Who is this little boy? How did you knock on my door?"

What Feng Erniang saw was Duan King Zhao Ji, the future Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji followed Pan Qiaolian out, who wanted to hunt for beauty - in fact, Pan Qiaolian was also a gorgeous person, but Zhao Ji liked mature women and was not very interested in the little girl Pan Qiaolian. Mo Madam was in his twenties and was a plump Western woman, which was exactly his taste.

Feng Erniang, who appeared in front of him now, is still charming and plump, and her figure is extremely charming and plump. Although she cannot be compared with Mo Niangzi, she is still a top-quality mature woman!

I don’t know who she is from Wu Haogu? Zhao Ji thought to himself: It’s probably her mother or a little girl? Looking at the Wu family’s portal, it’s not something that can support her family.

When Zhao Ji thought of this, he asked, "You, uh, this lady, Zhao... Zhao Xiaoyi is Pan Xiaolang's friend."

Who is Pan Xiaolang?

Feng Erniang was in a daze. Pan Qiaolian had already turned from behind Zhao Ji's tall body. She saw Feng Erniang's face was shy, but she didn't see Zhao Ji's lustful eyes, so she was a little strange.

"Er Niang, I am Pan Xiaolang, can't I recognize it?"

Feng Erniang smiled awkwardly, looked at Zhao Ji again, and found that the lustful look just now had disappeared. She changed into a serious expression and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Pan Qiaolian pointed at Zhao Ji again and said, "Er Niang, this Zhao Xiaoyi is my cousin and is also proficient in calligraphy and painting.

Brother Xiao Yi, this is Feng Erniang, and he is the mistress here."

Feng Erniang also reacted and shouted: "It turns out it's Zhao Xiaoyi. Come in quickly, please come in quickly... Dalang, Pan Shiba is here."

Wu Haogu, who was talking to his younger brother, heard Pan Shiba coming and immediately stood up from the chair. But he hadn't seen Pan Qiaolian for a long time!

"Brother, let me go with you." Wu Haowen also stood up.

He was not familiar with Pan Qiaolian, but he saw that he would soon become his sister-in-law, and he was a rich sister-in-law, so he always had to go and have some fun.

"Okay, go together."

As Wu Haogu spoke, he had already walked out of the study room and arrived in the hall. The first time he saw was not Pan Shibajie who made him think about day and night, but a handsome young man who looked familiar... He was not very small, but a very big person.

Just as Wu Haogu was searching for this big young man in his mind, Pan Qiaolian, who seemed to have a layer of frost on his face, had already appeared in front of him.

"Eighteenth Sister..." Wu Haogu looked at his "fiancee" and suddenly felt guilty.

He seems a little unsophisticated!

I was close to Sister Ximen on Hebei Road...

"You are here," Wu Haogu squeezed out a little smile and suddenly noticed Zhao Ji again, "What is this man?"

Without waiting for Pan Qiaolian to introduce her, Zhao Ji spoke up: "I am Zhao Xiaoyi!"

Wu Haogu took a breath and looked at Zhao Ji with a burning look, "Zhao Xiaoyi? Are you Zhao Xiaoyi, a scholar in Kaifeng's cloth clothes?"

Zhao Ji didn't know that the other party had already seen through Zhao Yi's identity, and he thought that Wu Haogu was surprised by his outstanding painting skills.
