When the waiter brought the tea and pancakes up, there were already a lot of people in the Su family shop. Almost all the tables in the lobby on the first floor were "rented", and various calligraphy, paintings and cultural relics were placed on each table. There were also many guests wearing curtains wandering around, stopping in front of each table from time to time, carefully observing every item placed on the table, and sometimes they would talk to the seller.

Chen Zhen, the eldest son of Chen Youwen, who was waiting for the Hanlin Academy, came over for a while and walked into the Su family shop wearing a big hat. He was in a very good mood these days. If it weren't for the thin gauze hanging from the brim of the hat, others would have seen his long and maroon donkey's face almost bursting with laughter.

Wujia Painting Zhai on Panlou Street will become his Chen Zhen and Chen Dalang's property in at most one month, and Wu Chengzhi's official tooth card will most likely belong to him!

This is the best future that a child of a calligraphy and painting family who is hard to have a good future in painting skills can find.

At the same time, Chen Zhen doesn't have to worry about becoming the second Wu Chengzhi in the future. Because his father Chen Youwen will soon be appointed as an official... Liu Ai, the big Diao Yan of the Hanlin Academy of Pictures, has already agreed, and the next person to serve in the Academy of Pictures is Chen Youwen!

Although the genius officials did not have any good future in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, they would probably just be appointed as a entrusted official and then continue to be sent to the emperor. However, having an official body is different from not having an official body! If Wu Chengzhi had a ninth rank official position, even the martial arts rank would not have fallen to this level now.

Moreover, Chen Youwen is only in his early forties this year, so it is possible to live for another 30 years if he is well maintained. By then, Chen Zhen's younger brother, Chen Bao, who has outstanding painting skills, would have been a presiding officer for the Hanlin Academy of Painting, and most of them would have been appointed as an official under the arrangement of the old man Chen Youwen...

Now is the most critical moment before Chen Youwen becomes an official. As long as the Chen family can find one or two treasures to offer, the matter of taking office is a foregone conclusion!

Therefore, Chen Dalang, who has always been reluctant to get up early, has always put on a stack of entries before dawn every day (tea entries were originally collected from the Jiang and Huai River certificates, but later developed into a kind of securities. In Kaifeng's calligraphy and painting transactions, the payment was a large-scale payment tool), and wandered around the tea shop at the East Cross Street.

However, after a month of wandering around, Chen Dalang did not find any good treasures that could attract attention. Today he had visited several tea shops and did not see any good things. However, he was not in a hurry. The most taboo thing in calligraphy, painting, literature and entertainment is the word "urgent". Taobao people should not be anxious, and any treasures who want to take action are also unhurried.

This matter must be patient and come slowly...

Chen Zhen walked into the Su family shop slowly and suddenly felt a little messy around. When he looked up, he found that there were obviously more people in this shop than other shops, and there were also people talking to each other in a low voice.

"A copy costs 300 pieces, which is not a very famous copy by a master. How much did they want?"

"That's right, there are more than one book, there are 20 books..."

"Then do you buy it?"

"Haha, let's talk about it..."

Chen Zhen heard this and immediately realized that something might have appeared!

I dare to ask for 300 copies alone! I am not copied by famous artists, and there are quite a few copies, with a total of 20 copies...

Where can I do this in Guishizi?

But the problem is that although everyone in the teahouse was talking and expressing dissatisfaction, no one turned around and left!

If it weren't for a good thing, the person would have left long ago.

"Brother, what treasure do you have?" Chen Zhen took out a few copper plates and stuffed them into the second-hand shop.

"A copy of the Painting Saint."

"What a good idea?" Chen Zhen was stunned, "Only copy?"

"It's said there is an original, but today I only brought the copy here, and I sold the copy first, and then came to sing and selling the original when all the experts met."

"There is still such a thing?" Chen Zhen was stunned again.

The transactions in Guishizi are all sneaky, so how can you sell them?

"Where is the copy?" Chen Zhen asked again.

“It’s right there.”

Chen Zhen looked in the direction of the guy's finger and saw a lot of people wearing hats squeezing in the corner of the teahouse. Everyone was holding an unfolded scroll in their hands. A few of them probably felt that the gauze could not be seen clearly through them, so they simply lifted it up. Chen Zhen recognized two of them, namely Li Tang, the palm-eyed mansion of the Pan family's gold, silver and silk shop, and Wu Yuanyu, the guru of the Duan Palace.

Li Tang must have come to wander around. He doesn't have much money and can't afford good things at all. He rarely makes a move in Guishi on weekdays. Even if he buys things that cost dozens of to two or three hundred. And Pan Xiao'an and Pan Qiaolian, the brothers and sisters behind him will not spend a lot of money on calligraphy, painting and art, so Li Tang is not afraid that others will know their identity.

Wu Yuanyu, the magistrate of the Duan Prince's Mansion, was also from the Imperial Army General. He had a military official, but he was a master of calligraphy and painting. However, he did not come to "Taobao" for him, but helped Duan Prince Zhao Ji see things.

In Kaifeng Prefecture, who else dares to provoke His Highness Duan? So he is not afraid of showing his true face.

Chen Zhen leaned over, squeezed to Wu Yuanyu, and laughed in a low voice: "Master Wu, how good is he getting?"

Wu Yuanyu is a middle-aged man with a broad mind and fat body. He looks happy and looks like a rich man. He is also famous for his good temper and lacks airs in the calligraphy and painting industry. When he heard someone asks, he smiled and replied: "I don't know if the thing is good, but this painting is indeed good! Come and see..."

As he spoke, Wu Yuanyu brought the unfolded scroll to Chen Zhen, "The body part of the drunken arhat in this painting is truly lifelike. The facial features, hair, hair, head, limbs, palms, chest and abdomen are all similar to each other, and all of them are true. And this kind of brushwork for painting people is something I have never seen in my life.

As for the belt of the Arhat, it is a typical Wu Dian Dangfeng. Whether it is the original work of the painting saint depends on the original."

Chen Zhen is also an expert in calligraphy and painting. Without listening to Wu Yuanyu's introduction, he can see the wonderfulness of the "Drunk Arhat Picture". Not to mention the "Wu Daidangfeng" who is not true or false, the body of this Arhat alone uses the brilliant brushwork that Chen Zhen, who was born in a family of calligraphy and painting, had never seen before.

At this time, Wu Yuanyu had already put away the scroll, and walked to Guo Jing and the table where Liu Wuji was, and handed over forty ten-desired tea leaves to Wu Dalang who was standing behind Guo Jing.

Tea transfer is similar to a bond secured by tea. When it acts as a large-scale transaction currency in Kaifeng City, it is necessary to discount the face value.

Usually, the intersection of ten denominations is between the seven to eight denominations of Kaifeng Prefecture, so the actual value of forty ten denominations is about three hundred denominations.

Wu Haogu has tested the interrogation (if you do calligraphy and painting activities, it is not possible to know the authenticity of the certificate), and after confirming that it is true, it will be put away.

Wu Yuanyu bowed to Liu Wuji and said, "Master, when did you sing and sell?"

"Sing and selling in five days, and it's still in the Sujia Shop."

"Okay," Wu Yuanyu nodded, "I will come and support you at that time."

"Then I will definitely wait for the big boss." Liu Wuji stood up, bowed to Wu Yuanyu in a decent manner, and then watched the other party leave.

At this time, Guo Jing suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha, the little yamen I observed is really amazing. The copy can sell 300 pieces!"

"Third brother," Liu Wuji said sternly, "Why can't you control a single mouth?"

"Oh... I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore." Guo Jing was scolded, but he didn't really shut up, but immediately started yelling, "It's getting late, you have read the copy. If you want to buy it, then take the money. If you don't want to buy it, return the scroll."

It turned out that Wu Yuanyu was the first to buy it. He had seen a lot of people before, but the price of 300 brisk was indeed a little ruthless, so no one paid it yet.

However, seeing Wu Yuanyu, a master of calligraphy and painting, paying money happily, Wu Haogu and his friends were relieved of their original hearts.

Because they know that followers will appear soon!

"purchase!"

Sure enough, as soon as Guo Jing finished speaking, there was a second buyer. It turned out that he was Wu Chengzhi's old friend, Li Tang from the Pan family's gold, silver and silk shop.

Although he didn't have much money, he could still get three hundred pieces.

"I bought it too!"

“Born!”

"purchase……"

Wu Yuanyu and Li Tang are not only experts in calligraphy, painting, and literature, but also painters themselves. The copy they like must be good.

So everyone holding the scroll in his hand stopped hesitating and took out their handings and certificates.
Chapter completed!
