On Bianhe Street, in Pan Xiao'an and Pan Qiaolian's house, Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian both arrived.

When he went out in the morning, Pan Qiaolian walked with Duan King Zhao Ji. When he came back, Zhao Ji became Wu Dalang...

Standing at the door and looking at him, Mr. Pan, who was waiting for the girl to return home, suddenly felt like he was hit by a slap.

What's going on?

Why is Wu Dalang, this little brat, hooked up with his good sister again?

Where is His Highness Duan? Even if he doesn’t send Pan Qiaolian home in person, he should have sent Gao Qiu to take a trip! Why did he become Wu Dalang? Could it be... Did His Highness Duan learn about the relationship between Wu Dalang and Pan Qiaolian?

Is your uncle gone?

Thinking of this, Pan Xiao'an even had the idea of ​​drawing his sword to kill Wu Haogu. However, the thoughts were not enough, but the lover who cut off the girl's love in public was still not good.

Moreover, the competition for the throne of the queen is not so easy, and there are too many factors involved. For example, the meaning of the official family, the meaning of the Queen Mother Xiang, and the meaning of the prime minister... If the Queen Mother Xiang and the official family have a choice, it is not Pan Qiaolian's turn to be the queen, then Wu Haogu is also a good candidate for his brother-in-law.

"Dalang, 18, but you are waiting for you back."

Pan Xiao'an looked around and didn't see anyone who shouldn't have appeared. He quickly invited Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian into his house and brought them all the way to the inner hall.

"There are many troubles in the house, so you two... it's better to meet less in the future, so as not to let anyone gossip."

After sitting down in the inner hall, Pan Xiao'an said to Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian with a sincere look on his face.

"I understand," Pan Qiaolian didn't doubt her brother, but just smiled, "I will be careful in the future... Brother Dawu, you have to be careful in the future."

"That's good, that's good." Pan Xiao'an nodded repeatedly, his brows frowned slightly again. What's the point of being Wu Dalang? Is it so difficult to be careful of yourself?

Wu Haogu knew that Pan Qiaolian was still jealous of Madam Mo. Her words were to tell her to stay away from Madam Mo. Now he is the woman of Prince Duan Zhao Ji!

However, it was precisely because Madam Mo seemed to be returning to King Duan that Pan Qiaolian did not continue to be jealous... Besides, Wu Haogu just drew a painting for Madam Mo and did not do anything else.

Pan Qiaolian thought to herself: It shouldn't be done... But even if there is any reason, it doesn't matter. The woman fell into the hands of King Duan and would not spit it out again.

"I know, I know." Wu Haogu said with a wry smile, "I'll have to be busy for a while... There are too many people who have been to the painting house these days. I have collected more than 50,000 yuan in deposit alone, and I'm afraid I have to be busy for several months before I finish painting.

In addition, we have to prepare for the calligraphy and painting business... The guild halls outside the city and the fidelity painting vegetarian in the city must be built as soon as possible. The painting vegetarian should be opened before the end of the courtesan competition, so that the twenty paintings drawn by King Duan and I can be put in for people to observe for a while.

As long as you can make a sign, the following business will be easier to do.”

Wu Haogu slowly talked about his business plan, but in fact he couldn't talk about any plan, he was just a plan to cross the river by feeling the stones.

He is a good painter, but not a business management talent. He has no experience in creating and managing a business or company, and everything has to be explored.

Fortunately, he chose an industry that he was very familiar with and had high profits. Even if the management is extensive, the profits are still guaranteed.

If you enter some low-profit industries, such as opening a restaurant, with his business level, you will most likely lose all your money.

Pan Qiaolian was very interested in it. Obviously, she did not expect that she might become the queen, but was determined to be a free and easy boss lady.

Pan Xiao'an had no intention of listening to this at all. He focused on his sister. When he saw the girl's expression, he felt a little anxious.

He actually paid money from Duan Prince Duan’s Mansion and Liu Youfang these days. He knew that His Highness Duan was having a happy relationship with his own girl. Although he didn’t see any relationship between men and women, at least two people could talk and play together.

This is enough... After all, other competitors to the throne of Queen, His Highness Duan has never seen a portrait!

Pan Qiaolian has a great lead.

The business matters were almost over. Pan Xiao'an was about to hold a banquet at home to entertain Wu Hao. When the female envoy outside the door suddenly came to report, "The Wu family came and asked for a meeting outside the door."

Wu Haogu was stunned and quickly stood up.

He has been waiting for Xuanzhao in the palace these days. Now that the family is coming, is it the official in the palace that the empress dowager wants to draw pictures by himself?

After a while, someone walked into the door. It was Wu Haogu's younger brother Wu Haowen. He did not send Pan Qiaolian home with his brother, but instead returned to the courtyard of the First Tianshui Lane.

"Brother, go home soon."

"What's wrong? What happened at home?"

"There is someone from the palace. It is the Grand Official of Liang from the Hanlin Academy of Painting. It has an order to ask you to return home immediately."

The Grand Official of Liang was Liang Shicheng. He was originally a Hanlin Calligraphy Bureau. After Liu Ai went to the Western Army to work as a vocational officer, he was appointed as a vocational officer in the Picture Academy.

This person will be ranked among the six thieves in the future, and is also known as Su Dongpo's illegitimate son. He also passed the Jinshi as a senior official, but he is a big bull!

When Wu Haogu was inspecting and making friends with Liang Shicheng, Pan Xiao'an was already laughing and congratulating him.

"Congratulations to Dalang, it seems that you will no longer be a commoner in a few days."

Pan Qiaolian was even more happy and said with a smile: "Brother Dawu, I finally waited, go back soon... If you get the title of painting, please ask Zhang Erlang (Zhang Xizai) to report it."

"Okay, OK," Wu Haogu took a breath, bowed to the official Pan, and smiled, "Brother Eleven, Haogu will say goodbye first."

...

Liang Shicheng is also an acquaintance of Wu Chengzhi, a father and son of Wu Haogu, because the main business of Wu Family Painting Zhai is actually calligraphy and painting - not only paintings, but also calligraphy works. Liang Shicheng was in charge of the Hanlin Calligraphy Bureau before, who was responsible for the collection, production and management of calligraphy works in the palace. He also bought goods from the Wu Family, and he also had a copy of the last return incident.

However, at that time he was ordered and did not make any progress, so he could not make a grudge with the Wu family.

When Wu Haogu followed his younger brother Wu Haowen to his house in the First Tianshui Lane, he was wearing a green official robe and a white face. Liang Shicheng, who looked gentle and gentle, was drinking tea and talking with Wu Chengzhi in the hall.

"Dalang, come and pay homage to Daguan Liang."

Seeing his son coming in, Wu Chengzhi waved his hand and called Wu Dalang forward.

"Meet Official Liang."

Wu Haogu went forward to bow, not a big bow, but just bowed and bent down - this is the standard etiquette of the common people in the Song Dynasty to meet officials, kowtows, etc.... That is the ceremony that only be performed when pleading guilty and begging.

"No need to be polite, just accept the order first."

Liang Shicheng smiled all over his face, looked very polite, and his voice was extremely gentle, without the appearance of a "traitorous minister".

As he spoke, Liang Shicheng stood up and took out a jute imperial edict. The "Wang Yan" of the Song Dynasty, which is the so-called imperial edict among the people, is divided into: system, edict, edict, edict, edict, edict, edict, edict, edict, edict, edict, etc., each representing different concepts.

Among them, edicts and edicts refer to ordinary documents accepted by officials, which are generally written on jute paper. Among them, officials with a title of five or above are called edicts, and edicts below are called edicts.

In addition, unlike later generations imagined that there was no need to kneel down and worship the great ceremony in the Song Dynasty. Kneel down and worship the great ceremony was quite grand in the Song Dynasty. It was not the later Qing Dynasty, where officials and people were half short at any time.

In the Song Dynasty, only "Xuanma" had to kneel down and receive a book (not an imperial edict and an imperial edict), while "Xuanma" means "Xuanma" to read and write a book on white hemp paper. According to the Song Dynasty ritual system, since the concubine, the crown prince, princess, prime minister, privy minister, and military governor were also surrendered to the system, and the white hemp paper was written!

So Wu Haogu is not qualified to kneel down!

In addition, the bookmaking process during the "Xuanma" was drafted by the Hanlin Bachelor. The imperial edict was "Haici", which was a ready-made sentence. It can be used by writing the name, and everyone is the same.

Today, Liang Shicheng brought the imperial edict to Wu Haogu, which is a "Hai Ci", which is an imperial edict to be the direct commander of the Hanlin Academy of Painting!

That's right, it's not about painting, but about the direct commander of the Attendant, which is the assignment Chen Youwen served before. The Attendant is a brief title, and the official title is the Direct Commander of the Attendant.

Wu Haogu was a little stunned now.

Because the direct chief of the imperial edict is only a high-ranking official, not an official, and it is not as easy as obtaining an official, it is not as easy as painting and entitlement. According to regulations, it is necessary to have no mistakes for ten years before you can become an official.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this is not good at dispatch.

In fact, all the people in Kaifeng Prefecture's calligraphy and painting business (except Wu Haogu) are willing to be the first to be a regular student but not a single person in the painting.

Because the title of painting is a short name and has no real power. The Chief of the Waizhao is the number three figure in the Hanlin Painting Academy, with two officials above it. And it is the head of the calligraphy and painting business of Kaifeng Prefecture. All the merchants in the calligraphy and painting business have to flatter the head of the calligraphy and painting business. Otherwise, not only the business in the palace cannot be done, the Chief of the Waizhao can also use the position of the head of the calligraphy and painting business to rectify the merchants, such as issuing unfavorable appraisal documents, such as buying the collections of the merchants, etc.

Anyone who wants to have this assignment can do nothing to paint a pure ten thousand pieces of input a year (after removing the filial piety to the top).

However, this assignment is not easy to obtain. It is a sure thing for a master of painting. Generally, he has to work in the Hanlin Academy for many years and have to put out a large amount of money to pay filial piety to make up for this shortage.

Wu Haogu first did not enter the Hanlin Academy of Painting; second, he did not have filial piety and had a bond with Liu Youfang, so why did he get so fat?

This matter...isn't it that Liu Youfang is doing something bad again, right?
