After leaving Chongzheng Hall, Wu Haogu returned to the Hanlin Painting Academy, followed Liang Shicheng to complete various procedures, and obtained a studio that he had dedicated. Then Liang Shicheng explained the rules of the Painting Academy. There is no need to enter the palace to serve every day. However, it is necessary to ensure that at least one Painting Academy is in the Painting Academy during the day.

Therefore, the Attendant in the Painting Academy must take turns on duty, usually one Attendant is on duty for one consecutive tens of days, and then another person is changed. However, Wu Haogu is a new job and there is also a familiar process, so there is no need to participate in the rotation immediately.

In addition to painting according to the order, the daily work of waiting for the imperial edict also includes management, identification of the palace collection of paintings and teaching the students of the art academy.

The rated number of bachelors in the Academy of Painting is forty, divided into first-class ten, second-class ten, and third-class twenty. When a vacancies appear, those with excellent painting skills must be selected from the students to fill it.

However, there are few vacancies in the waiter. Because it is not easy for a waiter to advance to art and attendance, there are few opportunities to go to work. Therefore, a waiter often serves for decades!

However, the students of the Hanlin Academy of Painting are still "very valuable" and are a holy place for painting studies that young painters all over the world yearn for.

Because the large number of paintings collected by Hanlin Painting Academy may not be real, but they must be good! Even imitations are all fine works, and there are also collections of original works by many great palace painters. These works can be copied by students, and there will be waiters from the Painting Academy to guide students to learn painting.

Such an opportunity is rare outside the painting academy. Unless a young man like Mi Youren learns painting, folk painters will not see many original works of famous artists throughout their lives, and there is no chance to copy them at all.

Copying is the main method of learning painting today.

Therefore, entering the painting academy to learn painting is a shortcut for folk painters to improve their skills. Moreover, once they enter the painting academy, even if they are just a student, their value will increase sharply. A piece of painting can be sold at the cheapest price.

Therefore, the quota for those who enter the painting academy to study painting has always been asked to break the head and rob. The few quotas are usually contracted by painters' families and large merchants from the calligraphy and painting business of Kaifeng Prefecture... Of course, they have to give money to a few attendants!

If it weren't for Wu Haogu's painting skills before he was penetrated by the soul, his father Wu Chengzhi would have spent money to send him to the Painting Academy as a student.

Now, Wu Haogu became the most valuable assistant among the attendant, and naturally he would get three or four student places (Chen Youwen’s students were driven away) and sold them.

In addition to selling the quota for students from the painting academy, Wu Haogu can also accept students in the name of the direct chief of the Attendant, because the direct chief of the Attendant can take out his own copy (copying famous paintings) from the palace for students to copy, so he is also a recognized good teacher and can receive good students... or get a lot of tuition fees!

Another way to make money is to use the identity of the Chief of Attack of Hitzhao to give people a look. Wu Haogu used to cover up a picture of "Drunk Arhats" and teased both Liu Youfang and Wang Shi. Therefore, his eyesight (usually believed that if you can make a fake, you will be able to recognize the fake) is recognized. Now he has the identity of the Chief of Attack of Hitzhao and the first person in the painting, and has also accepted disciples like Mi Youren, so the price of asking him to take a picture is not low.

Kaifeng Prefecture's calligraphy and painting behavior prevents him from using his identity and fame to find fault. He must be filial to a large amount of money.

In addition, the Chief of Attendant is also qualified to evaluate paintings! Because the Chief of Attendant represents the court, the evaluation given is authoritative. Although it is not as good as Mi Fu, Wang Shi, and Li Gonglin, it can still make people willingly offer a large amount of filial piety.

Finally, Kaizhao's works were of high value in the Kaifeng Painting and calligraphy market... Of course, this wealth path was meaningless to Wu Haogu, because his current pens had reached a level comparable to Li Gonglin.

Among the living painters who do not have the Jinshi status, they are definitely the highest value!

In short, the fact that the waiter was the "major official" was definitely the most money-free shortage.

On the first day after Wu Haogu got this shortage, he received personal praise from the official Zhao Xu: the first person in the painting!

This value is even more amazing!

Zhao Xu was not just talking casually. He summoned Wu Haogu in Chongzheng Hall. At that time, a diner stood by the side of the hall. Therefore, Zhao Xu's words of praise for Wu Haogu were recorded on the spot and will be included in the "Records of Zhezong" in the future.

In the palace, the news spreads the fastest. Wu Haogu was praised by the officials and spread it immediately. When he saw Wu Haogu again, his attitude immediately became respectful and enthusiastic, as if he had had many years of friendship with Wu Haogu.

So when he dealt with these new friends one by one and came out of the palace, it was already the hour of the heavenly general. When Wu Haogu returned to his home, the sky had turned completely dark. After talking to his father and mother about the situation of meeting the emperor today, Wu Haogu, who felt exhausted, ate something and went to bed by himself.

Although he didn't have much effort to do or travel much today, in Chongzheng Hall, he had to sketch in front of the emperor and sketch the emperor's dictation. It was really hurting his spirit. When Wu Haogu slept in bed, he hoped that he could get used to this life of living with the king every day as soon as possible.

...

The next morning, Wu Haogu had a rare early morning. He had to go to the Hanlin Academy again today. Yesterday, he only completed various procedures for joining the company, and had not officially joined the Hanlin Academy, a palace office that combines art, military and intelligence functions.

So today I will meet with Liang Shicheng and another activist, as well as the civil servants and men of the Hanlin Academy who are nominally in charge of the Hanlin Academy of Painting. If I have time, I will go to Fengle Building to hold a banquet for colleagues from the Hanlin Academy of Painting, contact my relationships, and talk about participating in the attendance shift and leading students.

"Dalang, after you went to bed last night, Su Dalang from the Su family shop came here. When I saw you sleeping deeply, I didn't ask you to get up."

Wu Haogu had just finished washing up and had not had breakfast yet, his father Wu Chengzhi told him the news of Su Dalang's visit last night.

Wu Haogu looked at the sky. It was just bright and it was a little early to enter the palace. He said to his father: "Dad, let's go to the Su family shop together."

"Okay," Wu Chengzhi nodded, "Su Dalang has invested a huge amount of 50,000 yuan in the business bank, so he should treat him as the God of Wealth for offering."

Wu Haogu nodded. In fact, he had a good impression of Su Dalang, and he wanted to have a deep relationship with him, and wanted to invite him to participate in the business. Especially now, Wu Haogu has got a job as a direct attendant, so he cannot devote all his energy to the business. He must find a shopkeeper who knows some calligraphy and painting and business, and Su Dalang seems to be a good candidate.

Put on a wool cloak, Wu Haogu didn't eat breakfast, so he went out with his father and headed straight to Panlou Street. The calligraphy, painting, cultural and entertainment morning market on Panlou Street has ended, and it has become a food street again, with stalls selling breakfast everywhere.

Wu Chengzhi bought two newly released big meat buns and gave them one to Wu Haogu. The two of them ate and walked. When the buns were finished, the father and son also arrived at Su Dalang's teahouse.

"Brother Chongdao!"

Just as I was about to enter, someone suddenly called Wu Haogu's font size.

Looking at the sound, I saw a fat face popping out of a window on the second floor of the Su Family Teahouse. It was Sudali Su Dalang.

"Brother Wu Shiwang, Brother Chongdao, are you here to have tea?"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "It's Xun Dalang."

"Please, please."

Su Dalang spoke, his head shrank back.

When the Wu family father and son entered the teahouse, they saw Su Dalang running down like a gust of wind, not looking like a big fat man at all.

"Brother Wu Shiwang, Brother Chongdao, please come upstairs."

Su Dalang sang a fat look and politely invited the father and son to a private room on the second floor.

The private room is not large in size, but the decoration is very elegant, with some Jiangnan charm. The private room is not an ordinary table and chair, but a few short-legged tea tables and cushions. You need to sit down and taste tea, which is very romantic.

Although the Wu family father and son were businessmen, they were elegant and naturally understood the etiquette of kneeling and sat down straight. Su Dalang was casual and sat cross-legged behind a tea case opposite the Wu family father and son.

The teahouse guy immediately brought the aromatic tea. Although it was not ordered with expensive dragon and phoenix tea cakes, it was definitely the best among the tea.

"Brother Chongdao, I'll say goodbye to you first."

As soon as the guy left, Su Dalang smiled and said, "The Attendant of the Painting Academy and the first person in the painting... they are all chosen by Yukou!"

This Su Dalang's news is indeed well-versed!

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "I am so frightened by the official's wrong love."

Su Dalang smiled, "How wise is the official family today? How could he be wrong with you? I see, Brother Chongdao will be entrusted with an important task soon."

"Highly responsibilities?" Wu Haogu was stunned. He was actually mentally prepared for "heavy responsibilities", otherwise why did Zhao Xu value himself so much?

This official is not an artist emperor... But what surprised him was that Su Dalang actually knew about it.

Su Dalang looked at Wu Haogu, "Brother Chongdao should know."

Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "You know if you don't want Dalang."

"Why don't you know?" Su Dalang smiled, "I have been appointed as the teacher of Mr. Du, a painting academy."

Du Lao Shuzhao was famous as Yongde, and he was a veteran of the painting academy. He was born into a family of calligraphy and painting in Kaifeng Prefecture. He was promoted to Shuzhao in the third year of Yuanyou. He has been able to survive for ten years this year. In theory, he can take up his post. Before Wu Haogu became Shuzhao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao Zhishao before Wu Haogu became the Shuzhao Zhishao Zhishao!

However, this old Du Shuzhao's painting skills are actually not very good. His ability lies mainly in his eyesight. His level of identifying painting works is second only to those of Mi Fu, Wang Shi, and Liu Youfang.
