Chapter 54 The first line of painting and calligraphy
Just as Wu Dalang and Pan Qiaolian were planning their future calligraphy and painting business, Chen Youwen picked up a scroll in the Chen family's calligraphy and painting camp on Yulin Street and fell heavily on the bluestone floor.
"It's really too much!"
Chen Youwen, who had been smiling outside for most of the day, was furious when he returned to his shop and cursed: "The person surnamed Liu is not a person. He has been a cattle and a horse for them for so many years, but he turned his back on his face if he missed a little...
The surname Wu is not something. Why should I hide it if I have the ability? A certain family is not a jealous person who is jealous of talented people. I just let the family know about it. Is it still afraid that a certain family will harm Wu Dalang?
Now, I know that the entire calligraphy and painting business is that my jealousy, my father and son surnamed Chen, can harm Wu!
Well, even the Attendant was lost. I have to go to the Western Army to endure hardships in a few days. I don’t know if I can come back alive!”
No wonder Chen Youwen is like this.
After changing souls, Wu Haogu did indeed break the rules of calligraphy and painting. From the very beginning, he did not regard Chen Youwen as the leader of the calligraphy and painting industry in Kaifeng Prefecture!
Moreover, after "cuffed" Gao Qiu and Taiwei Gao, Wu Haogu only had "Brother Gao Qiu" and "Brother Zhao Ji" in his eyes and mind. Where can Chen Youwen, the little shrimp?
Even Liu Youfang and Liu Da Diaoyan didn't care much about it.
Of course, Wu Haogu did this without any reason. Even if he could hold the golden dinosaur leg of the future emperor, who would curry favor with an old eunuch?
This is a loss of money!
However, Wu Haogu's natural choice made Chen Youwen fall from the clouds overnight.
How can Chen Youwen not be upset?
"Dad, it's like this. Even if you get angry, it's useless."
Aside, there was a young man with a long donkey face dressed in a literati, who was Chen Youwen's eldest son Chen Zhen.
But seeing the murderous aura floating in his eyes, he immediately smiled coldly: "The child surnamed Wu is a treasure alive. If he unfortunately dies, no matter how capable he is, it will be useless.
The calligraphy and painting business in Kaifeng Prefecture is still the territory of my father!”
"oh?"
Chen Youwen hurriedly turned around and looked, "How do I want to act?"
In fact, Chen Youwen had long been determined to kill, but he didn't know how to take action. After all, he was also a pen holder, not a knife handle.
"What do dad thinks is the bet for Wu Haogu and Mi Youren to fight?"
Chen Youwen thought for a while, "I only know that Mi Youren gave him an envelope, but I don't know what it contains?"
"I guessed that the things in the envelope must be related to the "Eighty-Seven Immortals Pictures".
Chen Youwen asked: "Mi Youren knows where the original "The Eighty-Seven Immortals Picture" is?"
"I don't know, but he must know where the copy of "The Eighty-Seven Immortals" is?"
"Mi Xiangyang?"
"Yes!" Chen Zhen gritted his teeth, "The envelope must be a letter written to Mi Xiangyang... Wu Haogu would probably take the letter to Lianshui Army to find Mi Xiangyang."
"Can you?" Chen Youwen shook his head, "Now he himself is more valuable than the "Eighty Seven Immortals Picture"!"
Which of the original works of Wu Haogu or "The Eighty-Seven Immortals" is more valuable? It depends on who it is.
For relatives who want to paint beautiful pictures of Wu Haogu, of course, Wu Haogu is a living person, who is valuable.
Therefore, after all these characters knew about Wu Haogu's ability, there were more people who were willing to sell personal favors and protect the Wu family.
"Even if it is not for the sake of the "Eighty-Seven Immortals", Wu Haogu has to go to the Lianshui Army." Chen Zhen analyzed, "Because Mi Xiangyang and Wang's prince consort are the real leaders in calligraphy and painting business in the world!"
There was a saying of "single" in all walks of life in the Song Dynasty, and calligraphy and painting are no exception. Among the calligraphy and painting business in Kaifeng Prefecture, Liu Youfang, Liu Ai and Chen Youwen are recognized as "single", but Mi Fu and Wang Shi were the first to "single" in the calligraphy and painting business in the Song Dynasty!
As long as they pass by the eyes and determine that the calligraphy and paintings that are authentic will be fake and real.
If they determine it as false, even if it is true, it will become false.
Moreover, the calligraphy and paintings forged by Mi Fu and Wang Shi can generally be bought and sold as genuine works on the market. By the way, many calligraphy and paintings forged in the two Palace Museums in later generations are highly likely to be forged by them!
If Wu Haogu just wanted to be a free and easy painting title, there was no need to rush to curry favor with Mi Fu and Wang Shen.
But if Wu Haogu is a little ambitious and wants to become the leader of the calligraphy and painting business of Kaifeng Prefecture, he must be supported by two big bosses, Mi Fu and Wang Shi.
Now Wang Shi is obviously very close to Wu Haogu, while Mi Fu may have some grudges from Mi Youren and Wu Haogu, but it is not a knot that cannot be solved. As long as Wu Haogu presents his photo skills, Mi Fu will definitely become a friend of his age.
At that time, Wu Haogu had the blessing of Wang Shi and Mi Fu, and had a group of Kaifeng powerful people, he could replace Liu Youfang, Liu Ai and Chen Youwen in one fell swoop...
That's a day when you can make money even if you lie down!
"If this is true, it will be convenient!" Chen Youwen rubbed his palms and said to his son, "Dalang, go and book a pleasure boat, and then make an appointment with Zhao Tieniu."
...
In the afternoon, the rain stopped. Taking advantage of the refreshing after the rain, Wu Haogu left Pan Qiaolian and returned to his house in the First Tianshui Lane under the escort of two Pan family servants.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard good news from his joyful father Wu Chengzhi.
"What? Is it possible that my family's difficulties have been passed?"
Wu Chengzhi exhaled and smiled and said to his son: "Dalang, it seems that this struggle has been successful... The disaster has probably passed. Today, Liu Gongfeng and Chen Jiangshi came to the door in person, got the reason for returning the "Churchure Immortal Badge Picture", and returned the authentic works of the seven papers of calligraphy and painting to his father.
In addition, Wanda official from Wanjia Shop also sent a manager to the door, and gave him a generous gift and admitted his mistake, and did not return the picture of "The Protector of the Dharma and the Good Gods".
"this……"
Wu Haogu showed hesitation.
According to Pan Xiao'an's prediction last night, Liu Youfang was not that easy to talk to, and the old guy must be holding back his tricks.
But now Liu Ai untied the noose tied to the Wu family's neck and asked Chen Youwen to return the seven-paper calligraphy and painting that he had originally eaten.
This is clearly a need to reconcile.
"Dalang, have you been a disciple of Deputy Duzhi Liu?" Feng Erniang, who was accompanying Wu Chengzhi, also asked with a happy face and smiled.
"No." Wu Haogu thought for a while, "but I gave two paintings to Brother Gao."
Feng Erniang asked: "That's the disciple of the prince-consort?"
"It can't be considered as an entry-level student, right?" Wu Haogu shook his head.
After entering the school, he acted as a disciple and a minor official, just like Gao Qiu following Su Dongpo and Wang Sheng.
Although the Song Dynasty was no longer a family society, the legacy of a family still existed. The status of the disciples and minor officials was similar to that of the retainers, and they still had a certain dependence relationship and could not change jobs casually.
In history, Gao Qiu was recommended to Wang Shi by Su Dongpo, and later he was favored by Duan Zhao Ji and asked Wang Shi from Wang Shi, not because he took the initiative to change his family.
If Wu Haogu is now involved in Wang Shi or Liu Youfang's subordinates, then whether he can change his family and join Duan Wang Zhao Ji in the future will be no longer in his own hands.
In addition, Wu Haogu has now made a private life with Pan Qiaolian, which also determines that he cannot vote for Wang Shu or Liu Youfang.
Pan Qiaolian is not Pan Jinlian, she is the daughter of the Pan family generals! How could she marry the Wang family generals or Liu Youfang’s Hakka minister? Not only will the head of the Pan family not agree to this matter, but even Wang Shi and Liu Youfang will not agree to it.
So the only one who can be voted by Wu Haogu now is Duan Wang Zhao Ji!
Zhao Ji's retainers will be "old people from Qiandi" in the future, and their identities will be completely different. Most of the Pan family members will happily marry Pan Qiaolian.
However, Zhao Ji's status is too high, as if he is not as "lucky" as the legendary one (he is only 16 years old this year and is still young). The ancient capital of Wuhao has made everyone know about Kaifeng's calligraphy and painting world, and there is no sign of Zhao Ji's brother.
Obviously, it will take a while to climb this tall branch.
