At the intersection of East Cross Street, the Sujia Tea House's business has flourished a lot during this period.

The history of this teahouse is extremely long and almost not much different from Panlou. As part of Guishizi, the layout of this teahouse is naturally not much different.

"The river goes east, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes. To the west of the old building, the humanity is: Zhou Lang's red cliff in the Three Kingdoms. The rocks penetrate the sky, the waves slam the shore, and thousands of snow are rolled up. The country is like a painting, and there are so many heroes at the moment..."

In the teahouse, Su Dongpo's "Nian Nujiao. Nostalgia for the Red Cliff", which is in line with the current situation of wind and smoke rising in the northwest.

Before the time of his life, there were endless guests in the teahouse. In addition to some of the children of officials gathered here, people from the calligraphy and painting business in Panlou Street also came here to drink tea. The Su Family Teahouse was a place with high consumption! After singing and selling "Drunk Arhat Picture", he even reached a higher level.

Not only did female actors sing and playing music, but also provided various famous tea and pastries, and the charges naturally increased.

It costs hundreds of dollars to drink a pot of tea and listen to a small song here, so it is not a place for ordinary people to come.

The guests who visited the teahouse were actually not to listen to music and drink tea, but to find out more about the news.

There was even a treasure in Guishi. Some senior officials came to Beijing, where was a wealthy good dealer, and where would there be a gathering of poetry... Such news can often be heard in the teahouses of East Cross Street. Players and merchants of the calligraphy and painting business in Panlou Street also obtain various information through this. Sometimes, players and merchants can also reach transactions in the teahouse, and the transactions of tens of thousands of thousands were made with the sound of silk and bamboo music.

It is precisely because of the joint effect of these many factors that the teahouse at the East Crossroads is particularly lively.

"Su Dalang, why are there so many people in this building today?"

In the seat by the window of the teahouse, Gao Qiu, who had just played Cuju with someone, grabbed Su Dalang and asked curiously.

"Gao Dalang, you don't know yet, right? Another big painter has recently appeared on Panlou Street."

Su Dalang was also familiar with Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu was able to become a clerk of Su Dongpo and Wang Sheng, and could write good characters, have a certain level of poetry, songs, and can also use guns to help him, so he naturally has a certain background.

He is actually the "scrap" of the Imperial Army Generals, which is similar to the official Pan Xiao'an and Pan Daren. However, Pan Xiao'an has a father who is good at doing business, and Gao Qiu has not had a good father.

The Su Dalang family, who has made vinegar for generations, naturally had some background. Can it be established in Kaifeng Prefecture for more than 100 years? Is it possible that there is no background?

His family sent their daughter to the palace more than a hundred years ago and became the concubine of Emperor Taizong. Since the Zhenzong Dynasty, the jealous housewives of the Su family have all been welcomed by the county lords from the Zhao family's royal family.

In addition to marrying the Zhao family's royal family from generation to generation (actually they were "buyed" by money), the Su family did not forget to "catch the son-in-law under the list". Almost every generation of the head of the Su family had a son-in-law of Jinshi, and Su Dalang himself also had a brother-in-law who was an official in the Censorate.

When it comes to the backstage, the Su family that makes vinegar is much stronger than the Wu family who sells paintings! And he himself can barely reach the yamen circle in Kaifeng Prefecture - his father married the county lord of the Zhao family and also came to a nominal sesame official, so he is also a fat yamen.

So Su Dalang and Gao Qiu are people in the same circle, and they met very early.

Now that he heard Su Dalang's question, Gao Qiu smiled, "Why don't I know? There are not many people who can call calligraphy and painting on Panlou Street. Recently, only Wujia Painting Zhai's young master Wu Haohao, is here."

When Su Dalang heard this, he immediately showed a sneering look, "Brother is indeed psychic, and even Wu Hao Gu is known."

"Haha, let's not hide it from Brother Su, I not only know the skills of the Wu family Dalang, but also presented a "Battle Painting Tower" written by him to the prince-consort.

It seems that the prince-in-law and the official Xiaomi said that after the painting, they all praised it."

"No wonder, it turns out that Xiaomi officials wanted to compete with Wu Dalang's boundary painting."

"Compare the fighting world painting?" Gao Qiu shook his head repeatedly, "That Xiaomi official can't win... If it's compared to landscapes, maybe Xiaomi can beat the Wuhan University."

Su Dalang smiled and said, "It's not that I compare to the realm painting. My brother's ears and eyes are indeed not as good as my brother."

"Not compared to the boundary painting? How about the bottom?"

"Compare photo albums." Su Dalang said, "On the first day of April, he gambled on painting skills in Panjiayuan."

Gao Qiu was stunned and asked, "Photograph? A plain portrait?"

"I don't know if it's a simple description, but it must be a photo." Su Dalang said very surely, "Gao Dalang, do you have to go to Panjiayuan to see it on the first day of April?"

Gao Qiu did not answer, but asked back: "Brother Su, how did you know Pan Yuan's fighting skills on the first day of April?"

Su Dalang laughed and touched the back of his head, "I've heard people too...Brother, although the news in my place is well-informed, it's mostly news that has no source."

The news that was not from the source was originally released by someone on purpose, and the person who released the news was not someone else, but Wu Haogu, who was about to compete with Mi Youren on the first day of April.

Of course, it was not Wu Haogu who went to the teahouse on East Cross Street to send news, but his two good brothers Guo Jing and Liu Wuji.

Spreading fake news is also one of the "daily business" of Panlou Street little private teeth like Guo Jing and Liu Wuji.

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are rich now, so they can do small things like sending news. They spent some small money and hired dozens of private teeth. In two days, they learned about the news all over the street (Panlou Street).

Gao Qiu thought about it and asked Su Dalang again: "Dalang, have the great officials of the Wu family released from Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"Yes, I came out a few days ago." Su Dalang replied.

"Is the Wu Family Painting Chai still open?" Gao Qiu asked again.

"Is it still open to the Painting Zhai?" Su Dalang said, "Du Dian gave the Pan family gold, silver and silk shop... I guess I can't redeem it anymore. It will be changed to the Chen Family Painting Zhai in a short time."

"So that's it." Gao Qiu nodded and thought to himself: No wonder he couldn't find him yesterday when he went to Dailou Academy. He should have gone home.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiu stopped drinking tea, picked up his "ju" (the Ju of Cuju), greeted Su Dalang, and went to the Wujia House in Tianshui Lane.

...

Gao Qiu was right. Wu Haogu was staying at home now and had just finished painting a picture of "Photo of Feng Erniang", silk, color... Oh, of course, it's not about drawing human bodies.

In the painting, Feng Erniang is wearing a red straight-collared robe with a strapless belly, and a skirt on her lower body. She sits steadily in a rose chair. She looks more dignified as she is. She doesn't look like a genius at all, but rather like a court wife.

This painting was painted by Wu Chengzhi. It took him two days to finish the color design from the draft.

"It's so similar... Yes, where did you learn the ability to have a photo portrait?"

When Wu Haogu used charcoal strips to make a draft the day before yesterday, Wu Chengzhi was completely shocked by his son's painting skills.

He originally thought that his son's painting skills were just mediocre and could not beat Mi Youren. However, he didn't expect that his son's photo skills were so high. If he was based on realistic theory, he had long been above the painting saint Wu Daozi!

Now that he saw the colored "Photo of Feng Erniang", he was a little suspicious that his son was possessed by the painting immortal in the sky.

"Of course my father taught me how to draw."

While answering, Wu Haogu carefully took off the cooked silk from the drawing board and gently spread it on Wu Chengzhi's desk.

"I can't teach you a father..." Wu Chengzhi frowned and looked at his son, feeling that he didn't look like a god, and then looked at the painting again.

Then he continued: "With such painting skills, there is always a Hanlin Attendant. Portrait photo is the most difficult, even the Hanlin Academy has few masters... They are not as good as you!

Son, why don’t you join Liu Youfang’s disciple. Liu Da Diao is in charge of calligraphy and painting in the palace, and he must have a few great talents under his command. Now you are a great talent!"

The meaning of joining Liu Youfang's disciple is to become a disciple of Liu Youfang, and then joining the Hanlin Academy of Painting as his disciple of Liu Youfang.

This not only can you give less bribes, but you can also get protection from the palace... With the ability to use martial arts and good ancient portraits, you can just draw a piece of paper for the empress dowager's official family, and you may be favored.

"Go to worship the eggless pickled product?" Wu Haogu was not angry when he heard Liu Youfang's name. "Hmph, I will rely on the prince soon and become a disciple of the eunuch?"

Although the disciple is higher-end than the disciple, the eunuch's disciple is too low-key. How can he be worthy of Pan Qiaolian?

If he joins Liu Youfang's disciple, who will save Pan Jinlian? No, is it to save Pan Qiaolian from the sea of ​​suffering?
