It was almost noon and the snow finally stopped.

But the air is still filled with the cold and humid nature of the winter in the south, making Kaifeng's city covered with a layer of smoothies.

Wu Haogu and Mi Youren were squeezed into the narrow carriage, and the temperature emitted by the two older men was well preserved by bearskin mattresses and cotton curtains, so they did not feel cold.

The two of them chatted all the way, discussing how to make Duan Wang happy.

It's quite embarrassing to be said. A time traveler is still the greatest artist in human history, but now he is just thinking about flattering.

However, after living in the Song Dynasty for a while, Wu Haogu already knew that in order to do things, he had to coax the future officials.

Because under the gentle face of the Song Dynasty's official family, they had unparalleled centralization. Later, Zhu Xi once commented on the policy of governing local governments in the Song Dynasty: the military was collected, the wealth was collected, and the rewards and punishments were collected.

In fact, all kinds of "received" powers are usually not in the hands of the magistrates of the East and West governments (the Zhezong Dynasty was an exception), but are all concentrated in the hands of the government through an inefficient and mutually restrained bureaucratic system.

The gentleness of the official family is to some extent because no one can threaten supreme power. Therefore, "Seeing the Sea in Yalong Bay" is basically the most severe punishment for civil servants. Su Dongpo is now on Hainan Island. If Wu Haogu does not want to live in Yalong Bay for a long time in the future, it is very necessary to coax Song Huizong into place.

Mi Youren's flattery skills are no less than his skills in calligraphy and painting, and he gave Wu Haogu a lot of good advice along the way.

This apprentice is really right!

Before I knew it, the carriage had arrived at the place and stopped abruptly.

"Two members, we've arrived at the place."

The voice of the coachman came, interrupting the conversation between the two "flatterers" in the carriage.

Wu Haogu first came out of the carriage, was stirred by a gust of cold wind, and then rubbed his hands and looked around. He found that there was a long wall in front of him, and there were some buildings like halls and lofts inside the long wall.

"This is……"

"This is Jin Mingchi." Mi Youren's voice sounded.

"Jin Mingchi?" Wu Haogu remembered "Jin Mingchi's Mark" and Zhang Zeduan.

"This is the Royal Imperial Garden, and earlier it was the place where the navy was coached." Mi Youren said, "There is also a Qionglin Garden in the south, which is also the Royal Imperial Garden. It is the place where the Qionglin Banquet is given."

Qionglin Banquet is a good meal for the emperor to invite a new Jinshi to celebrate with commendation and encouragement. It was held in Qionglinyuan at the beginning, but later it was not necessarily a wine shop in Qionglinyuan, but the name of Qionglinbanquet was preserved.

"Jinmingchi, Qionglin Garden... What a good place!" Wu Haogu turned his head and looked west again. The tall and majestic west wall of Kaifeng Prefecture was in sight, and it didn't look too far.

"This area is of course a good place." Mi Youren smiled, "In addition to the two imperial gardens, there are villas of wealthy families in Kaifeng Prefecture, and some Taoist temples and temples, all of which are traded by wealthy families. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mo from Ji Daguan's family actually entered the temple here..."

"By the way," Wu Haogu asked the coachman, "Where is the temple?"

"It's all right after passing the woods in front."

The coachman pointed to a forest covered with some snow in front of him, "There is a small path in the forest, and it will be there after passing."

Mi Youren smiled and said, "Teacher, this is the case here...separate between trees and bamboo forests, without losing the wild and elegant style."

"Okay," Wu Haogu nodded, "Let's go."

The coachman also said, "Xiaodi tied the carriage and helped the two men carry the painting tools."

Wu Haogu said "I'm working hard" and walked towards the woods with Mi Youren. The woods looked quite close, but they were a little far away when walking.

"It's very empty here." Wu Haogu asked Mi Youren while walking.

"It's indeed empty," said Mi Youren, "This generation is like this in the west of Kaifeng Prefecture."

This place, in the words of later generations, is a high-end villa area.

"Kaifeng City is so crowded, didn't you think about building something here?"

Wu Haogu's keen "real estate developer thinking" immediately began to turn. He had long wanted to do real estate, but there was little room for development in Kaifeng Prefecture - there was not much land anymore. If you really want to make a lot of money, you had to make money outside the city.

"Build building?" Mi Youren smiled, "Teacher, how to build here?"

There must be a way!

Wu Haogu thought: This place is next to Kaifeng Prefecture City, and the surrounding environment is also good. The most important thing is that there are two palace courtyards, and they are also empty enough... They can be fully developed!

"Yuanhui," Wu Haogu suddenly asked when he walked into the bluestone forest path, "Is the land here expensive?"

"Expensive?" Mi Youren smiled, "Look at where to compare... it is much cheaper than in Kaifeng Prefecture."

Wu Haogu nodded and thought to himself: It seems that there is a chance. But this is a big project and cannot be done at the moment. Moreover... his joint-stock trading bank has not been officially established yet, so he cannot operate such a big project at all.

Let's set a small goal first.

"Yuanhui, can we open the Calligraphy and Painting Association here?"

"Carriage and Painting?" Mi Youren looked around, "It's a little bit off...but it's not bad. It's better to build a smaller one in the city to receive goods."

Jinmingchi and Qionglin Garden are all villas of wealthy families in Kaifeng Prefecture, so it is appropriate to build a calligraphy and painting club here. However, there must be a semicolon in the city to receive goods, and the "game" should also be built in the city.

"You are still thoughtful." Wu Haogu nodded.

At this time, the master and the disciple had already passed the woods and their eyes became clear. Here was a large ridge of fields, about thirty or forty acres. Beside the ridges, leaning against another forest was a small temple called Lotus Temple.

The bamboo path leads to the secluded place, and the Zen room has deep flowers and trees.

This temple is different from the Daxiangguo Temple and the Faqi Temple, which are full of pavilions and pavilions. It takes a small and exquisite route. The pavilions, pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, pillars and eaves in the Lotus Temple, and even the rockery stones decorated in the garden exude a carefully polished line beauty.

After seeing these small and exquisite buildings, Wu Haogu knew that this was a private temple. There are two types of private temples. One is a temple built by the sage temple to deceive the incense money of good men and believers; the other is a temple built by the rich and noble families because their families wanted to convert to my Buddha.

The Lotus Temple should be in the latter case, but it was not built by Ji Yi for Niang Mo, but he bought it from a wealthy family. Because after entering the temple, Wu Haogu found that the building of this temple was full of vicissitudes and oldness, and it was at least an old house that had been more than a hundred years old.

However, Ji Yi's willingness to buy this temple for Mo Niangzi also shows that she is not an ordinary family guru.

When Wu Haogu and Mi Youren arrived, the gate of the temple was open and no one stopped them, so they entered without invitation. No nun was found inside, only an elderly female envoy was cleaning the courtyard.

Mi Youren asked the female envoy: "Is Madam Mo here?"

"Miss Mo is in the attic of the Sutra, you can go by yourself."

Although the temple is small, it is full of internal organs. A Sutra Pavilion was built in the backyard. It is also a small and very exquisite building. It looks newer than other buildings in the temple. It is obviously just repaired.

The Sutra Pavilion is just a name, and there is no Sutra Pavilion, but a delicate beauty hidden. The two-story pavilion is arranged into a residence. The first floor is a hall for meeting guests and dining and a practice room; the second floor is the beauty's boudoir and bedroom, and a quiet room with the portrait of Mingzun hanging.

When Wu Haogu and Mi Youren arrived, Madam Mo had just finished practicing, and her body was covered in fragrance and sweat. Her jade hands were each holding a bright sword.

Oh, she is not a female swordsman, but is practicing sword dancing. Her good figure is hard-won. Not only do she have to control her diet, but she also has to practice dancing diligently every day...even if there will never be an audience.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Madam Mo put away the sword, took a scarf and smeared her sweat while leaving the practice room. She also asked casually: "Grandma Liu, have the guests arrived?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wu Haogu and Mi Youren dressed in Confucian scholars walking into the door. Wu Haogu also saw Madam Mo. She was wearing a bright red narrow-sleeved short jacket, a high-waisted long skirt, and a black silk scarf tied around her waist. Not only did she look graceful and elegant, but she also completely highlighted her graceful and plump figure.

Unlike when I saw it in Haizhou that day, Mo Madam today did not wear makeup and met Wu Haogu without makeup. Naturally, she was less gorgeous, but she had a color like a housewife... Even if she didn't apply makeup, she was still a stunning beauty!

Madam Mo spoke, her voice still sounded as good as ever, crisp and sweet, like the sound of heaven: "Nu Nu has seen Wu Junwai and Mi Junwai."

Wu Haogu looked at the beauty in front of him and was a little stunned, but Mi Youren spoke first: "Miss Mo, my teacher and I have been allowed by Master Ji. I came here to take a photo and ask you to be like... Master Ji told you?"

"I've already sent someone to tell you," Mo's wife glanced at Wu Haogu who was looking at her, and smiled sweetly, "The military officer can draw whatever he wants."

Is it okay to draw the human body?

This seductive idea passed through Wu Haogu's mind... This is art, and it can be exhibited in places like the Forbidden City, the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Museum in the future!

However, in the Song Dynasty, it was still a bit shocking, especially when Madam Mo was still a family trick of others.

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu gave up his unrealistic ideas and smiled gently: "Then thank you Madam Mo."

He glanced at the sweaty Madam Mo and asked again: "Madam Mo just finished practicing?"

Madam Mo smiled: "I practiced dancing, I used to do kung chees in the past, and I can't use it now."

"I didn't expect that Madam Mo could still sing and dance." Wu Haogu smiled and said, "This is so good. Today I will draw a picture of "Madam Mo's Dance Picture"... I always want everyone in the world to know how high Madam Mo's dancing skills are.

By the way, Madam Mo, what kind of dance is your kindest dance?"
