Chapter 31: The storm rises again
The morning is bright and Kaifeng Prefecture ushered in a new day.
After lent 30,000 yuan of Wujia Painting Zhai, Wu Dalang was particularly happy. With this money, Wu Chengzhi, who had been suffering in the Kaifeng Prison for many days, could also regain his freedom, and the Wanjia Shop could also refund the entire amount. Moreover, after returning the eight-paper calligraphy and paintings sold to the palace and Wandaguan, he could still get more than 4,000 yuan.
The Wu family's calligraphy and painting official teeth card can also be entitled to 8,000 yuan later - with this body card, Wu Haogu can enter the Donghuamen in the palace to go to the contract and handle the contract by the official office, so yesterday did not immediately entitle to Pan Qiaolian.
In other words, the income from the Dianbao store and the card can be paid for 14,500 yuan after two lawsuits!
For ordinary people, this is a huge sum of money!
Moreover, the eight papers of calligraphy and painting that were returned to their hands are all excellent... Whether it is real or not, 30,000 or 40,000 yuan is always worth it.
In addition, Wu Haogu also had a 29,000-yuan gift in his hand, which was the proceeds from selling the "Drunk Arhat Picture" last time.
After adding up a few sums of money, the money that can be deposited in the hands is actually as much as 70,000 to 80,000 yuan!
However, what made Wu Haogu the most happy was not the money, but the fact that the "Eighty-Seven Immortals" had its place.
As long as he can defeat Mi Youren in the Panjiayuan gambling on the first day of April, he will be able to get a copy of "The Eighty-Seven Immortals" from Mi Fu, so that he can make another fake painting and present it to Liu Youfang.
It would be even better if I could get a silk book from Mi Fu. I could just put it in an old way and give it to me. Anyway, Liu Youfang and Liu Ai and his son's eyesight were not particularly thief, so they would probably have to let Mi Fu take a look. Unless Mi wants to give out Xiaomi, they would not be able to expel the soup.
At least nothing will happen for the time being...
As for the future, as long as you can hug Zhao Ji's golden dinosaur legs along Brother Gao Qiu's golden thighs, you will be safe for more than 20 years.
"The official of the Wuda University, there is Donghua Gate in front of it."
The voice of a fat old man named Pan's gold, silver, silk shop, who was named Pan'an (not the one who looked like Pan'an, was a slave from the Pan family, so he followed the master's surname Pan) sounded in Wu Haogu's ears.
Donghuamen in the palace is coming soon.
Wu Haogu quickly pulled the reins, and the donkey under his crotch was very gentle and obedient, and immediately stood still.
He raised his head and looked forward, and what caught his eye was the vermilion walls and the tall and majestic city gate tower.
There is the east gate where the Emperor of the Song Dynasty lived, called the Donghua Gate, which is far opposite to the Xihua Gate. There is a corridor between the east and west gates that divides the inner palace into two. To the south of the corridor is where the officials and court ministers discuss matters, and to the north is the inner court harem.
This Donghua Gate is located between the inner palace and the outer court, and is close to Maqian Street and Panlou Street, so it has become a passage for various daily necessities and offerings to enter the palace.
The provinces in the palace, the provincial and the provincial imperial pharmacy, and the imperial pharmacy court under the jurisdiction of the provincial government, were all located in Donghuamen based on the offices of the Ministry of Education and the office of the State Council.
Wu Haogu’s destination today is the contract dependent on Yousi within Donghuamen.
"Manager Pan," Wu Haogu got off the donkey's back and bowed to the fat old man wearing a brocade robe behind him and a contented smile, "I'll wait for a while and wait for me to meet the nobleman of the contract."
Wu Haogu can enter the Donghua Gate with calligraphy and painting official teeth and card, and end at the Tianxiang Fumen Gate at Zuocheng. However, Pan An, the manager of the Pan family, and eight donkey carts carrying silver jewels arrived with Pan An, as well as Guo Jing and Liu Wuji who helped Wu Haogu to escort the car together, were unable to enter the Donghua Gate.
"Go, don't worry." Pan An also got off the donkey's back and stretched his legs and said to Wu Haogu, "The rules in the palace are so big, so you have to take your time. Fortunately, the young man is slow and can always wait."
"Thank you."
Wu Haogu said to his two good brothers again, "Third brother, Xiao Yi, you are here too."
"Dalang, don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Yes, nothing will happen."
Guo Jing and Liu Wuji said it well. This is the gate of the palace. Even if the elite imperial guards standing guard are all pretentious people, no one dares to commit crimes and robbery here.
After giving some instructions, Wu Haogu strided towards Donghuamen.
...
The contract was based on the main hall of the Ministry of Justice, an advisor who was managing the document and running errands came in and bowed to Liu Youfang, who was holding a bowl of tea. The report was reported: "The deputy minister, Wu Haogu from Wu Family Painting Chai has arrived."
There are two supervisors in the contract, both of which are in charge of the contract, and are eunuchs who have entered the **Shishou Province. Among them, Liu Youfang, the deputy chief of the **Shishou Province, is the main one. He has to verify and purchase any valuable items before they can be stored.
"Call him to wait."
Liu Youfang gave an order, and the Absassin sang and turned his head away.
Chen Youwen, who stood beside Liu Youfang, placed seven scrolls respectfully on the desk.
"The deputy minister is going to return to the Wu Family Painting Seven Papers and calligraphy and paintings, and the small base has been prepared."
Liu Youfang put down the tea bowl, stretched out his very well-maintained right hand and picked up one of the scrolls and slowly unfolded it.
"Shaoshi Yang's "Daily Method of the Immortals"..." Liu Youfang sneered, "It's done just right, whose work is it?"
The "Daily Method of the Immortals" sent to the palace by Wu Chengzhi was originally a copybook, but it was written by famous scholars in the early Song Dynasty.
However, the book "The Life of Gods" that Liu Youfang held in his hand was just made and is a fake one among the fakes.
But it was done pretty well, and it was a bit real. It was always hundreds or thousands of knives to be sold at Panlou Street Market.
"It was made by Quaner Chen Bao."
Chen Youwen answered with a smile on his face, but his heart was bleeding and tears.
He paid for the money for the "Drunk Arhat Picture" that Liu Youfang, a Sujia Shop last time, and it was 50,000 yuan!
It was 20,000 more than the original plan, but Liu Youfang was unwilling to bear the extra 20,000 favors, so he gave Chen Youwen the seven-paper calligraphy and paintings that he had originally wanted to return to the Wu family and asked him to make seven fakes to fill in the numbers.
Of course, these seven fakes are not done casually. They must be able to explain their faces, not too slow. At the same time, they cannot be made too real, otherwise it will be too cheap for the martial arts.
Therefore, Chen Youwen and his two sons Chen Zhen and Chen Bao made seven imitations at a value of about a thousand silks.
"Did you know that Wu Haogu would come today?" Liu Youfang unfolded another scroll and asked Chen Youwen while looking.
"I know," Chen Youwen gritted his teeth, "Pan's gold and silver shop asked someone to send a message to Xiaodi last night, saying that he had escorted 50,000 yuan for the Wu family shop!"
"Haha," Liu Youfang smiled, "I will bet at most 25,000 yuan?"
"It's only 15,000 pieces too..." Chen Youwen said, "It must be Pan Qiaolian, the little girl from the Pan family, who did it badly. I heard that she had an affair with Wu Haogu."
"Affair?" Liu Youfang laughed, "The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, and the woman is still a small family, so why is it affair?"
If you first marry into your father and then marry into yourself, then Pan Qiaolian would marry Wu Haogu. It is all right in terms of etiquette and law, but the Pan family will definitely break up the couple.
"Miss Pan has helped this, you don't have to think too much." Liu Youfang continued, "If Wu Dalang was a student seed, the Pan family might marry the girl, but he was just a poor painter."
The difference between the Wu family and the Pan family is not completely insurmountable. As long as Wu Haogu can sing a name outside the Donghua Gate, he can carry a sedan chair and marry Pan Qiaolian through the family, and get a generous dowry.
This "only high study" was not just a talk in the Song Dynasty!
Unfortunately, Wu Haogu is not the material for reading.
"Xiaodi understands." Chen Youwen said respectfully, "Xiaodi is preparing to pay 60,000 yuan to buy the Wu Family Painting Zhai."
Liu Youfang nodded and said, "That's right... After all, the Wu family is a family friend of the fourth family in the West of Pan Family (Pan Xiao'an series). In the past twenty or thirty years, the fourth family in the West of Pan Family has been protecting the Wu family. After we have rectified the Wu family, we always have to give an explanation to the fourth family in the West of Pan Family."
"Xiao Di knows."
Liu Youfang asked again: "Can those who sold the "Drunk Arhat Picture" last time find it?"
"No," Chen Youwen replied, "There are no suspicious people in Jieshen Lane to exchange for large sums of exchanges."
"Oh, I understand." Liu Youfang waved his hand, "Just go and send these calligraphy and paintings to those surnamed Wu... How much should I ask the Wu family to get things done next?"
"Forty or fifty thousand pieces should be done." Chen Youwen smiled and said, "The Wu family has been in the calligraphy and painting business for several generations, and the family has a rich family... If the matter of "The Eighty-Seven Immortals" is 40,000 or fifty thousand pieces, it is also the grace of the deputy masters."
"Then let's do it according to 40,000... Do you know how to do it?"
"I know, I know." Chen Youwen said, "all are ready."
Chapter completed!
