Chapter 167 Charming and Bullying
"Ginger is really spicy!"
After hearing what Wu Haogu said, Mi Youren burst into laughter.
Where there are people, there are intrigues and intrigues, let alone the world of fame and fortune? One is a waiter and the other is a head of calligraphy and painting. The interests involved are hundreds of thousands or millions. How can the relevant parties be willing to give them to Wu Haogu?
Even the Mi family’s father and son gave Wu Haogu’s support, it was not unconditional.
Not only did Christie's benefit besides the father and son, but Mi Youren, the line between Duanwang Zhao Ji, made the Mi family's father and son profit.
Duan Zhao Ji was raised as a prince, and there was no one around him to be able to do it! Mi Youren is now one of the few talents he has to carry. If he can win a Jinshi in the future, it will be a matter of time before he can be ranked as the magistrate.
Even if you cannot win a Jinshi, you can still follow the route of military generals. With Mi Youren's general background and Zhao Ji's support, you will be the third yamen in fifteen years. Although you are not as noble as civil servants, your interests are still very generous.
Wu Haogu said annoyedly: "What are these two old guys? They dare to give me eye drops!"
"They are old seniors. They have been in the calligraphy and painting business for decades. Why can't they stumbling to you for the teacher?"
When Mi Youren said this, he was calm and calm, as if he was not in his heart. In fact, this kind of thing seemed normal in his opinion. Not to mention Du Yongde, Xia Guocheng and Wu Haogu had no friendship, but they would not fight in the Mi family's mansion. They still fought in chaos, but they maintained a harmonious atmosphere on the surface.
It’s Wu Haogu’s own family. Haha, they have not been in contact with the Baibo Wu family for so many years!
Moreover, the two brothers Wu Haowen and Wu Haogu are not very harmonious.
It is normal to go out and fight with others!
"What should I do?" Wu Haogu said, "Can I just let the two old guys tease me like this?"
Wu Haogu's ability is also a little bit of business acumen in calligraphy and painting, but he is still too young when it comes to fighting with people.
Mi Youren thought to himself: It’s a blessing that you accepted me as your disciple, otherwise you wouldn’t know if you would die of sin.
"Teacher, do you know that those two old guys are making a plan?"
"I know, they know that someone will be there to praise Zhao Xiaoyi. If Zhao Xiaoyi wins, I can take the lead in my calligraphy and painting career!"
"You, do you know?" Mi Youren shook his head with a wry smile.
"What? Isn't it right?"
"Of course it's wrong! Teacher, the way to be an official is to be charming the superiors and bullying the subordinates... All kindness comes from the superiors, so the superiors must coax them. As long as the superiors like you, they are not afraid that the subordinates will not be convinced. So the most important thing now is to coax His Highness Duan. As long as the king is happy, the students ask my father to come forward to settle the matter below."
Du Yongde and Xia Guocheng also argued with Wu Haogu, and they didn't dare to jump around again if Lao Mi wanted to stand up.
So for Wu Haogu, the thorns below don’t need to be considered at all. The Duan King above needs to be considered. Now Duan King Zhao Ji is playing hard.
Mi Youren continued, "So those two old guys are actually choosing you to fight against Duan Wang... There will definitely be someone who supports Duan Wang's field, and you are the boss of Christie's, so you can still make fakes during the battle. If you win Duan Wang by using fake methods, you will definitely not be able to hide the Duan Wang's purpose, and then it will be a fall. Duan Wang will look down on you and will not make close friends with you again in the future."
Wu Haogu was silent again!
The old guy named Xia is so sinister! He almost fell for a fool...
"Then how do I please King Duan? I will deliberately lose to him in the competition?"
"No need," Mi Youren smiled, "If King Duan wants to win you by relying on his power, he will not use Zhao Xiaoyi's name.
If you deliberately let him down, you will also tell him to look down on him.”
It's really hard to serve! It's not good to win, nor can you lose...
Wu Haogu thought to himself: Just because of this difficult situation, Zhao Ji deserves to be captured in Wuguo City!
Thinking of this, Wu Haogu frowned: "If it's so difficult to serve, what should I do?"
Mi Youren smiled: "Can the teacher play backgammon?"
"Can you get a little bit."
Backgammon, also known as holding spear, is a board game with a lot of luck. It was very popular in the Song Dynasty and almost everyone could play it a little.
However, it was lost in later generations because of Emperor Qianlong's ban!
Mi Youren said: "The most boring thing about playing Double Lu is knowing that your opponent will give in to you... It was a fight, is it interesting if you know the result?"
Why is it meaningless? You can win money! Wu Haoguxin said: Most people who play Double Continental will bet and bet, and this thing is a bit similar to the mahjong in later generations... But for Mi Youren and Zhao Ji, money is probably just a number, right?
In fact, money is almost turned into a number for Wu Haogu himself!
What he lacks now are the "small targets" that can be used to reverse the Jingkang national crisis, and there is absolutely no shortage of money to buy luxury houses and manors.
"How do you play?" Wu Haogu asked.
"Of course I played like a real one!" Mi Youren said, "When someone praises him, that's his business. You just pretend that you don't know and compare with him seriously. Even if you lose, you have to be able to afford to lose and let go. You have to make him feel that you are a person who can play with him so that this friend can make friends.
As for the title of the first person in the painting and calligraphy, it doesn’t matter. King Duan will not care, nor will the official family care. As long as they both value you, you will give the title of the first person to Du Yongde, who is also your lackey... Then it depends on whether he is tactful or sensible."
"He's so bad, I want to use him?"
"It's only useful if it's bad!" Mi Youren said, "Li Xi is a bad guy. Is it useful if he is a bad guy? My master (Wu Chengzhi) is also a bad guy. Is it useful if he is a bad guy? You are unwilling to give Christie's shopkeeper to him.
Moreover, there are people on Panlou Street that need to be evil, otherwise how can you be a good person? There are only good people and no evil people, and the head of the show is fake, and no one takes it seriously.
This must be charming, and someone needs to bully him..."
Mi Youren really has a good idea!
In terms of painting skills, he is a student of Wu Haogu. In terms of flattery, being an official, and bullying the superiors and beating the subordinates... Wu Haogu didn't even have any money to get him!
...
"Little Liu Ergou, pay homage to the official of Wu Da!"
As soon as he sent Mi Youren out of the door, a lackey behind the door was brought by Liu Wuji and Guo Jing.
The one who came was Liu Ergou, a relative who might not be able to beat Liu Wuji, was the one who was a gangster on Panlou Street.
"Ergou" is actually not his name, and he is not good at Ergou. The reason why he is called "Ergou" is because he and Zhao Tieniu once followed the same gangster and were called two evil dogs on Panlou Street. Zhao Tieniu is a big dog, and he is Ergou.
However, when the evil dog arrived in front of Wu Haogu, he was as obedient as a pug. When he entered the Wu family mansion, his tall figure shrank, and he bowed all the way down. When he arrived in front of Wu Haogu, he bowed deeply.
"Brother Guo San, Liu Xiaoyi, you all sit down, sit down."
Wu Haogu met Liu Ergou in the main hall, and did not look at Liu Ergou standing under the hall, but just greeted Guo Jing and Liu Wuji politely.
Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are now decent, wearing exquisite Taoist robes, sticking to whisks, and growing beards. It seems that they are ready to be a master.
In the past month, these two people spent most of their time at home (Yihongyuan), reading books and reading Taoist books.
To revive the gods and conquer Zhao Ji, there must be material in his stomach. Otherwise, he would have to reveal his feelings as he speaks. Zhao Ji was not interested in the two martial arts warlocks.
Liu Ergou has been suffering these days, a bit like the days before the imperial examinations were released... Now Zhao Tieniu has gone to Liangshan, and he is the leader of the gangsters on Panlou Street. But in the end, who can become the boss of this "Yuanshui Street" has to be the leader of Wu Haogu, the calligraphy and painting industry (actually not yet).
If Wu Haogu supports others, his status will be in jeopardy.
And Wu Haogu didn't see him for a month!
Although Wu Haogu has a lot of things to do during this period,... setting up a big brother for Panlou Street is also an important matter, right?
The backends of calligraphy, painting, art and art shops and Eagle shops on Panlou Street are very tough, and they are not something that the big brothers in the martial arts world can bully them, but those snack stalls are all called on to "manage" them... After a year, the fees alone can be put in their pockets are more than 10,000 yuan!
Although Liu Ergou didn't take the money alone, it was still a big deal. If it was in the hands of someone else, he would not close his eyes even if he died.
"Dalang, this is Liu Ergou, it's my cousin."
Liu Wuji spoke, "Ergou, raise your head and let the high-ranking official take a good look."
"Here."
Liu Ergou then straightened his back and looked straight at Wu Haogu who was sitting on the chair. After taking a look, he felt a terrifying aura - this was the Wu Da official who defeated Liangshan Kou and forced Zhao Tieniu to Liangshan - he quickly lowered his head again.
Wu Haogu had known Liu Ergou for a long time. In his impression, this was a very fierce man. He had a fat body, a fat face, and was rushing to speak. He always looked for people to fight for wrestling (wrestling). He had never been beaten to death, but he was a few of them.
Originally, Wu Haogu was still very afraid of Liu Ergou in his heart.
But now, Wu Haogu felt that he was not worth mentioning at all... Compared with the fierce people outside Kaifeng Prefecture, it was nothing compared to the big figures in Kaifeng Prefecture, it was just a lackey.
"Okay." Wu Haogu waved his hand, "I've seen it... just do it like that, go and watch Panlou Street, just follow the old rules.
In addition, do you recognize those who dig graves and get gold outside Kaifeng Prefecture?”
"Recognize a few..."
Wu Haogu's problem surprised Liu Ergou. Although there have always been "ming utensils" (burial objects) in the calligraphy, painting and arts business, everyone is taboo about this and only does not talk about it.
