Chapter 32: Chaoyuan Immortal War Figure 1

依着武好古的盘算,宫里面退回的七纸书画也是要尽快变现的,那毕竟也是一笔不小的资本,可以用来应付刘有方,刘瑷和陈佑文等人的后招.

他估摸着,只要支撑过今后的几个月到一年,他就不怕刘有方这等人物的欺负了.

Over the past few days, Wu Haogu has finally realized some of the situation. The reason for causing disaster to his family is apparently because the original work of "The Eighty-Seven Immortals" may be in the Wu family, but the fundamental reason is that the Wu family is rich but not powerful, and has many treasures in their hands, which has become the fat meat coveted by all parties.

要最终度过这场难关,办法也只有寻求到可以庇护武家的有力的保护伞——这法子看上去有点政治不正确,但却是唯一靠谱的.要不然还能怎么着?

A bourgeois revolution? But Wu Haogu is not a bourgeoisie yet. He is just a businessman selling calligraphy and painting. A traditional businessman from the Northern Song Dynasty who lived in the old feudal society. Could it be that he still wants to fight to the end without fearing the powerful?

武好古可没有恁般不切实际的想法,他现在能想的,也就是怎么支撑过眼下的难关,然后用来自后世的画技笔法去攀附上那位“赵佶哥哥”.

有了“赵佶哥哥”做靠山,武好古才能在北宋末年的商场上大展一番拳脚.

有了足够的资本,或许有机会改变二十多年后的天倾之难了,即使不能改变,总可以独善其身……

而要达成攀附“赵佶哥哥”这个小目标,他现在就不能叫人撵出开封府.

因为只有留在开封,他才有可能顺着“高俅哥哥”去搭“赵佶哥哥”,要是让人撵出了开封府,那可就再见不着高俅和赵佶了.

To stay in Kaifeng Mansion safely, he must have enough funds to deal with the new "return wave", and at the same time, he must forge the "Eighty Seven Immortals Picture" as soon as possible and hand it over to Liu Youfang and Liu Ai, two pickled goods that killed thousands of swords.

However, what surprised Wu Haogu was that when he brought 18,000 taels of silver (the palace did not accept the instructor, only silver tang, copper coins and Huizi) into Donghuamen, arrived at the contract office of the Youwen, and then met Chen Youwen in a small ear room, he realized that it was not as easy as he thought to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture.

陈佑文一脸温和的笑容,对武好古道:“大郎,这七纸书画可验看过了?”

On the desk in front of him, there were a total of seven papers of calligraphy and paintings, including "The Life of the Gods", "The Sixteenth Day", "The Fan of Jiangnan Spring", "The Snow Scenery and Cold Forests", "The Travel of the Guanshan Mountains", "The Summer Mountains" and "The Heavenly Girl Scatters Flowers".

陈大待诏的手指轻轻叩击桌案,发出笃笃笃的声响.

脸上的笑容虽然温和,可是嘴角却微微翘起,透出一抹嘲讽之意.

Wu Haogu sat opposite him, but said nothing.

The seven-paper calligraphy and paintings placed in front of him were not something sent to the palace by the Wu family, but imitations. Although the seven-paper calligraphy and paintings sent to the palace by the Wu family were also imitations, the value gap between imitations and imitations is sometimes very different.

According to Wu Haogu's estimate, many of the calligraphy and paintings before the Northern Song Dynasty placed in the two Palace Museums in later generations had a considerable chance of being from Mi Fu, Mi Youren, Wang Shi and others. After all, these people like to "borrow the real and return the fake". I don't know how many high-quality fakes were created, and they were all hidden by people as treasures...

These treasures are still national treasures when they are passed down to the 21st century!

And the high-quality imitations in the 21st century are only worth thousands or tens of thousands, and no matter how much they are, they have to be deceived.

"Dalang, if there is anything wrong, you can go and talk to Deputy Director Liu. If nothing is wrong, sign the contract and you can go to Kaifeng Prefecture to pick up your father."

Chen Youwen's words mean: If you don't sign the contract, Wu Chengzhi will have to continue squatting in the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison.

As for going to Liu Youfangfen to talk, it is not something that can be explained clearly in a day or two. If it is delayed for a few months, it is not certain whether Wu Chengzhi can come out of the Kaifeng Prison alive.

If Wu Haogu signed the return contract for the reason, he would confirm that the seven-paper calligraphy and painting he received was the calligraphy and paintings sent to the palace that day.

Then calligraphy and paintings worth at least 20,000 or 20,000 pieces will become something worth only a few thousand pieces. Wu Haogu lost 20,000 yuan in one fell swoop...

Wu Haogu was naturally unhappy when he lost a lot of money for no reason, but the situation was like this, and he had to swallow his anger for the time being.

"Calligraphy and painting are natural, so I signed the contract for good ancient times.

As for the original painting, after my father was released from prison, my father and son would go to his hometown in Xidu to find something. Before my father and son returned to Beijing, I would like to ask him to go straight to the imperial edict and give him a great thank you in the future."

As he spoke, Wu Haogu brought up his brush and signed the three contracts that Chen Youwen received. The finance and business management of the Song Dynasty were relatively standardized, at least in terms of system. The contract signed by Wu Haogu was in triplicate, and he kept one by himself, one by the contract by the Shi, and one by the True Waiting Library that received the refund from the Wu family (the True Waiting Library is not under the jurisdiction of the Escort Province or the Nei Escort Province, but is managed by the Taifu Temple).

When Chen Youwen heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.

If the Wu family really had the "Eighty-Seven Immortals Picture", how could it be that Wu Chengzhi, who inherited Wu Zongyuan's calligraphy and painting mantra, was in the hands of Wu Haogu, but in the hands of the children of the country bumpkins who were farming and studying and passing on their families in Luoyang?

Moreover, who doesn’t know in the calligraphy and painting industry in Kaifeng Prefecture? The branch of the Baibo Wu family in Luoyang and the branch of the Wu family in Kaifeng who had a mixed calligraphy and painting industry in Kaifeng had a long time ago because of the separation?

The Baibo Wu family in Luoyang was a "Yimen" that did not separate their families for several generations and lived together (Yimen is a large family organization form developed under the imperial examination system, with its characteristic being that it is relatively equal to the family). The Wu family in Kaifeng is just a business with a small individual and wealthy family... There is no common language on both sides.

Chen Youwen, who came from the Chen branch of Yimen, knew this clearly. Yimen, which is not divided into families, is used to compete in the imperial examinations, because the "big pot rice" of the family can allow more children from the tribe to receive a good education, thereby improving the "winning rate" of the imperial examinations.

But the merchant’s family cannot do this. They do not separate the property rights and do not understand the property rights. They must be dumped when they eat big pot rice together.

"It's the right to do it, this is the contractual reason." Wu Haogu took out several ten-face value transfers, sandwiched them together with the two contractual reasons, and handed them to Chen Youwen with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Chen Youwen took two contract reasons, but took out the intercourse that was sandwiched in it, and sneered coldly: "Dalang, you forgot something."

"this……"

Wu Haogu's face suddenly changed. His life's memories of businessmen told him: It is not a problem for merchants to give money to officials, but it is a problem for them to not be given out!

Chen Youwen smiled gently, then took out a scroll from somewhere like a magic trick, and spread it in front of Wu Haogu.

"This is..." Wu Haogu knew that something was wrong, but after reading this painting, he was still stunned.

Because this is a Wu family-like plain painting, Wu Haogu recognized it at a glance, and it turned out to be "The Immortal Battle Picture of Chaoyuan"... It is a famous masterpiece passed down from later generations by Wu Zongyuan!

And it's the original!

"The Chaoyuan Immortals' Ball Picture" is a copy of "The Eighty-Seven Gods' Picture" and is also a mural.

However, this copy is originally very different from the "Eighty Seven Gods and Immortals". The "Chingyuan Immortals' Battle Picture" is much larger than the "Eighty Seven Gods and Immortals' Picture", and the names of gods are written above each portrait of gods.

Because this "Chung Yuan Immortal Ball Picture" is a mural copy of Zhaoying Palace in Yuqing, it was kept by Wu Zongyuan and later passed on to his descendants. When Wu Chengzhi was young, he was sold to the palace for 40,000 yuan.

"Daizhaozhi, what are you going to do?" Wu Haogu's voice trembled a little.

"This painting is not true...you can do it."

Wu Haogu was silent for a moment, "Where is the document?"

Chen Youwen looked at Wu Haogu with contempt and threw a printed appraisal document to Wu Haogu.
