Things are going well...

It's just counting.

Because Wu Haogu originally wanted to take the ladder to the sky by himself, and at most, he would bring Guo Jing and Liu Wuji two good friends. But unexpectedly, now there are a bunch of people surrounding Zhao Ji and flattering...

Moreover, Wu Haogu's flattery skills do not seem to be smart enough, at least not as good as Ji Yi and Ji Daguanren.

In addition... Pan Qiaolian, somehow, seemed very close to King Duan Zhao Ji.

Although it is impossible to see the relationship between the two of them, they are now the Song Dynasty, and this relationship seems to be not very good. Besides... Now is the critical moment when Prince Duan chooses a concubine, will Pan Qiaolian become Queen Pan, right?

"Eighteenth, I have gone to look for you several times these days. Your eleventh brother always stops me from seeing you..."

When they came out of Fengle Tower after drinking and eating, Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian walked behind everyone. Then, the two of them who had not seen each other for many days were finally able to say something.

When Pan Qiaolian heard Wu Haogu mention this, she frowned.

"I don't know who was chewing, saying that we elope... You know, there are so many troubles in the generals, and the Eleventh Brother is also for my own good."

After hearing this, Wu Haogu couldn't help but look at King Duan Zhao Ji who was surrounded by a bunch of people.

"Eighteen, why did you come to my house with him? He is..."

Pan Qiaolian didn't hear the jealousy from Wu Haogu's words, but said, "It's up to you to do this. The photo he drew for me in Panjiayuan last time became famous. He also knew it, so he asked someone to ask for it. He was not satisfied with copying, and he still had to draw a real person.

But now, he is going to find your Madam Mo!”

What is "your Mo Madam"?

Wu Haogu also heard the jealousy and quickly explained with a smile: "Isn't that for the competition with Zhao Xiaoyi... No, this matter is probably a game for Master Ji, right?"

Pan Qiaolian glanced at her lover and whispered: "I just realized that you... are someone else's ladder!"

That's right? Master Ji is following Zhao Ji and is chatting very enthusiastically! It seems that Zhao Ji and him have met too late!

If Zhao Ji ascended the throne and took power in the future, would Ji Yi not be so popular that he would be the successor of Cai Jing's old thief and become the fourth-generation head of the New Party of the Northern Song Dynasty... If the Northern Song Dynasty still has a future.

"Make a ladder, just make a ladder," Wu Haogu looked at the tall Zhao Ji and whispered to Pan Qiaolian, "Many friends and multiple roads, fewer enemies and less walls... I think Ji Yizhi is a character, and there will definitely be useful in the future."

Wu Haogu knew that he was not an official, and he did not intend to call the wind and rain in the officialdom, but this did not mean that he did not need friends in the officialdom.

Compared with Mi Youren, who is a nobleman and a northerner, Ji Yi, who is a southerner and a civilian, is the person who is qualified to enter the core of the new party.

Moreover, Mi Youren's knowledge (Confucianism) is definitely not as good as Ji Yi, and he may not be able to pass the Jinshi. If he fails to pass the Jinshi, it will not be easy to make a successful career in the future.

So it’s good to be able to make friends with Ji Yi! Maybe he can influence the results of Xuanhe’s Northern Expedition in the future.

Pan Qiaolian glanced at Wu Haogu and shook her head: "There may not be a person like you in Ji Yizhi's eyes... But we don't do big things, and he will always respect you in terms of face."

"What if you want to do big things?" Wu Haogu asked tentatively.

"Doing big things? What big things do you want to do?" Pan Qiaolian looked at Wu Haogu with a little vigilant. She didn't want Wu Haogu to do big things at all. Not only did she not want, it would be better for Wu Haogu to even think about it.

Because Pan Qiaolian, who was born in the general, was originally a figure wandering around the core of power in the Song Dynasty. He knew what those who could accomplish great things were like? What did they give? In the end... what did they get!

"Just say it," Wu Haogu smiled, "What can I do?"

He also knew Pan Qiaolian's thoughts, but the future historical process was so tragic that Wu Haogu couldn't help but struggle.

Pan Qiaolian nodded: "That's good...but if you really want to do big things, then you will have no friends and only accomplices in the future!

No matter how good the relationship is now, once you are in different camps in the future, you will be a mortal enemy! Even accomplices will fight to the death for the sake of their interests!"

She paused and smiled, "But if you want to do something big, you have to get a Jinshi first... can you pass?"

"I can't pass the exam!" Wu Haogu shook his head.

Can you be a Jinshi when doing big things?

Wu Haogu doesn't think so, and he also knows that if his big thing is not successful, no matter how good Ji Yi's flattery is, he will not be able to stop the Jurchen Iron Cavalry in the future!

...

Fengle Tower is on Maxing Street. When everyone comes out of Fengle Tower, heading south along Maxing Street, and reaches the intersection of Panlou Street and Maxing Street, they are about to break up.

Zhao Ji, Mi Youren and Ma Zhi left together, Guo Jing, Liu Wuji, Lin Wancheng and Lin Chong turned north and headed to the residence of Beixiang.

Wu is beautiful, Wu is beautiful, Ji Yi, Su Dalang and Pan Qiaolian walked east along Panlou Street. The weather is very good today, with clear sky and no wind. I feel very warm when walking on the street. Therefore, Panlou Street is crowded with people, and all kinds of food stalls are set up, with fragrance and shouting endlessly.

This scene reminded Wu Haogu of the city where he lived and worked in later generations, and also of the disaster of the sky more than 20 years later.

So you have to do something big, but you can't help Pan Qiaolian's thoughts.

"Brother Yizhi, you are such a good method!"

Now Wu Haogu and Ji Yi are walking side by side.

Ji Yi smiled bitterly when she heard this and said to Wu Haogu: "Since you have entered the officialdom, you have to work hard and use some tricks.

In fact, you are more comfortable. You are a romantic and talented man and have a lot of money to use. You can travel around the world and be free and free, even if the prime minister is not as happy as you."

"Prime Minister?" Wu Haogu smiled, "So is Brother Yizhi who has met Mr. Zhang?"

"It's just a few encounters." Ji Yi smiled.

He really can curry favor with the high-ranking officials!

Wu Haogu thought: In history, he was not implicated by Zhang Dun. After Song Huizong ascended the throne, he faded out of the officialdom and finally died in the long river of history, right? If that were true, he would have helped him a lot.

"It seems that Brother Yizhi will be able to make a fortune in the future. I will have to make you a good friend."

Ji Yi laughed like a response: "Chongdao, you and I are now making friends... By the way, where is that Ma Zhi from? I don't think he looks like a businessman."

"Not like a businessman?" Wu Haogu had known for a long time that Ji Yi would ask Ma Zhi, so he was not surprised. "Who do you think he is?"

Ji Yi frowned slightly, "He looks like a Goryeo."

"Like a Goryeo?" Wu Haogu was stunned. How could Ma Zhi look like a Goryeo stick?

"Yin Guan, the chief clerk of the Goryeo Privy Council who lived in the Tongwenguan these days, has a very similar temperament to him."

The Goryeo minister mentioned by Ji Yi does have a similar background to Ma Zhi. He was born in the family of heroes of Goryeo and was the legitimate son of the Poping Yin family. Although he was a civil servant from the top scorer, Goryeo's imperial examination was mainly for his father.

Therefore, Yin Guan did not receive the imperial examination education, but like Ma Zhi, he would be willing to do civil and military affairs, and would lead troops to fight - it was different from the way the civil servants of the Song Dynasty planned the rear. They had to command the troops in front of the battlefield, and the soldiers were sometimes trained by themselves.

"What kind of temperament is Yin Guan?" Wu Haogu asked.

"It's not like a civil servant or a military general. It seems to have both strengths."

"Yun Wen and Wu," Wu was so funny. "Aren't many famous generals in ancient times like this?"

Ji Yi thought about it, nodded, frowned and said, "Yes, that's it... But how could he be such a temperament as a businessman?"

Wu Haogu said: "He is not a businessman... He lives in the Mi Mansion now. How about I ask him out to meet you alone after a few days?"

Ji Yi obviously discovered the value of Ma Zhi! What Ma Zhi said at today's banquet will definitely attract his attention.

"That's thank you." Ji Yi smiled and bowed. "Let's leave today. When the courtesans of each building are selected, please go to Lianhua Temple to draw."

"Okay," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "A word is certain."

After saying this, Ji Yi greeted Wu Haowen again, said a few words of encouragement, and then left, quickly walked towards the mansion on Rendian Street.

He has gained a lot today, and there are still many things to arrange for the rest, but he will be busy for a while.

...

"You have worshipped Wu Haogu as your teacher? Yuanhui, your family is both great at calligraphy and painting!"

"King, Wu Haogu's ability in painting pictures is much better than mine. You can't accept it."

"I'm so much stronger? Why don't the Lone King know?"

"King, my family has some painting booklets and sample pictures written by teachers. I will send them to you tomorrow. You will know after reading them."

"Then his painting is better than the Lone King..."

"This is not like painting a picture, realism and freehand painting, each with its own strengths. My master's ability is in reality. Without Master's teachings, with his stupidity, he would never have reached 30% of his master's life."

"He is really so awesome?"

"Really, my master's paintings are so powerful."

When it was almost dusk, Mi Youren, a good student of Wu Haogu, had personally sent Duan Zhao Ji back to the palace. He also followed Zhao Ji into the study and saw a lot of "Pan Qiaolian pictures" drawn by Zhao Ji. And he could see that Zhao Ji did not master the fur of Wu Haogu's ancient human body paintings, and basically followed the "Wu Family" path.

Although I have mastered the painting method of Pan Qiaolian's face and hands by copying "Photo of Pan Qiaolian", and combined with the "Wu Family" belt as the wind, I can also draw good portraits, but I will definitely not be able to draw the Mo Niang who wears very little clothes.
