Chapter 49 The old fox, it's not easy

Liu Youfang's old face turned red and white, because he knew that he would soon become a laughing stock in the calligraphy and painting business of Kaifeng Mansion.

Although he is a noble man, he is also an old senior in the calligraphy and painting business of Kaifeng Prefecture. He is a noble man who can play with Wang Shi, Su Dongpo, Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian, Li Gonglin. Since the reign of Emperor Shenzong, he has been in charge of calligraphy and painting in the palace. It can be said that he has been dealing with calligraphy and painting for most of his life.

Needless to say, Mi Fu and Wang Shu were the ones who were under the slightest eyesight. He had actually seen that the picture "The Eighty-Seven Immortals" hanging in Wanshou Temple was wrong, but he did not say it, but set up a plan to let Mi Fu and Wang Shu watch it together.

In addition to his good eyesight, he can also write and paint, and the ordinary calligraphers and painters on Panlou Street are far inferior to him.

He often joked with people: Even if he left the palace one day, he could find food in Kaifeng Prefecture with his eyesight and calligraphy and painting skills.

But now I actually left a big eye and spent 50,000 yuan to buy a fake painting!

Moreover, the person who made this painting was just an unknown child on Panlou Street. He now certainly saw that Wu Haogu's "Photo of Pan Qiaolian" and "Drunk Arhat Picture" were painted by one person.

If he doesn’t have this vision, he will be too frivolous!

Losing money is still a small problem. Those who can get to his position have nothing to do with money, but losing face is a big deal.

This time he really overturned the boat in the ditch. What kind of face does he have in the future say that his vision of identifying calligraphy and painting is the third in the world?

Without this "third in the world", how can he gain a foothold in the palace?

His status in the palace is actually not very stable. Just look at the people he is good at, Wang Shen, Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian and others are all old parties! Although he himself has a strong party, he is also a person who is good at the old party after all, so he is not trusted by the current officials.

The reason why he can still be in the position of the deputy minister of the provincial eunuch and the supervisor of the contract is nothing more than having a reputation for being proficient in calligraphy, painting and art. The officials need to use him to manage the collections in the palace.

If this reputation is destroyed, will the government still need him, a eunuch who is so close to the old party?

"I lost!"

Mi Youren sighed and brought Liu Youfang out of his thoughts. Liu Youfang turned his head and looked over, and saw Mi Youren handing the envelope to Wu Haogu with both hands.

"Brother Chongdao's painting skills are more than one step ahead of his current draw. He is the number one person in the world! He is willing to give up the disadvantage. This is a bet, and I hope to accept it with a smile."

After hearing this, Liu Youfang nodded gently, showing admiration.

Mi Fu really has a good son, but he won’t lose if he loses the gambling battle!

If you want to punish those who are surnamed Wu, you are afraid that there will be no chance in the future. Why should you be embarrassed in public now? And if you are embarrassed now, you can cure Wu Haogu?

Mi Youren is not inferior to others, and Wu Haogu certainly cannot be complacent, otherwise it will be despised.

Moreover, Wu Haogu also knew that Mi Youren was favored by Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou in the future. In the Southern Song Dynasty, he was appointed as the Minister of War and the direct scholar of Fuwen Pavilion.

If you are not from a Jinshi, you must not be a simple person to climb to such a high position. It is better not to offend such a person as much as possible.

Wu Haogu took the envelope with respect and handed it to Liu Wuji without taking a look. Then he took a folded Xuanxuan from Liu Wuji, and then handed it to Mi Youren, and smiled and said, "This is the "Twenty-Four Methods of Realm Painting Towers" painted by Haogu. It is a little experience that Haogu has studied Realm Painting for more than ten years. So he gave it to Brother Yuanhui to see it, so he doesn't refuse."

The so-called "Twenty-Four Methods of Painting Towers" is actually a fooling person. It uses the perspective techniques of later generations to draw twenty-four pavilions and pavilions. If Mi Youren copied it according to the copying, she could indeed make great gains in the path of painting, but she had to understand the true meaning of "Picture Perspective"... She had dozens of achievements in winter and heat, and she might be able to succeed.

Mi Youren is famous for his love of painting, and when he saw Wu Haogu gave him his experience in studying world painting, he became much more happy.

Moreover, he also knew that with the ability of "Wu Family Photographer", it was a matter of time before Wu Haogu was awarded the title of painting and becoming an official. Maybe he could really marry Pan Qiaolian, which would be even more powerful.

At that time, everyone will have to work together at the Painting Academy Bookstore, so it is better to make a relationship than to make grudges.

He smiled and took the stack of familiar prose handed over by Wu Haogu, bowed and said, "Brother Chongdao's 'Wu Family Photo', Youren admired him very much, and he would definitely come to ask for advice another day."

Wu Haogu laughed and said, "You and my brothers are asking for advice? They are just talking about exchanges."

"Dalang is really good at it, but our family has misunderstood."

Liu Youfang's soft voice also sounded like a situation. When he saw that there was no trace of unhappiness on his old face?

He is an old fox who has been struggling in the palace for decades, and his face-changing skills are much higher than his attainments in calligraphy and painting.

At this time, Liu Youfang was like an old man who cared for his younger generation. He was all kind and kind. How could he use his power to suppress others?

But the more this happens, the more Wu Haogu feels unsure.

However, he could no longer argue with Liu Youfang in the scene, and he didn't want to be a notorious person who was arrogant.

So he also gave a respectful salute and said, "I offended you so much before. I hope the deputy minister Haihan. The bet between the boy and Mr. Chen is just a joke, and I can't really take it..."

Liu Youfang waved his hand generously when he heard this, "No need, it's just 30,000 yuan... After spending these 30,000 yuan (not his spending, but his lackey), he recognized you as a genius, worth it!

Dalang, the Master of Shi has already taken office, and the painting academy has lost a post-order. Why don’t you come and be this post-order?"

"Shi Sheng" is the word "Shi Sheng" by Chen Youwen, which means "Shi Shi Zhi Zhu Sheng". When he heard Liu Youfang's words, his heart tightened.

Although he has become an official now, he has no intention of giving up the position of Attorney Zhi.

Because he is a wise official, he usually cannot get a good position, that is, he goes out for a walk in the name of "sending clothes" (that is, giving things to front-line troops), and the scenery is full of glory.

If it was an ordinary attendant, he would not care about it at all. Not to mention giving up his post as an attendant... Without an attendant, there would naturally be no attendant. Without an attendant, his position in the Panlou Street Market would be gone.

"The high-ranking official (the high-ranking official is the honorary title of eunuchs) is wrongly given, and he is rough and should not be allowed to wait for the imperial edict."

Wu Haogu did not dare to be a waiter. After becoming a waiter, Liu Youfang held it in his hand, and it was difficult to guarantee that the future would not be settled.

Moreover, he was detained in Kaifeng Prefecture as a servant and could not go anywhere. If he wanted to be an official, he had to survive for at least ten years. Now it is the first year of Yuanfu, and the spring of the following year, the emperor of Zhezong passed away and Duan Zhao Ji ascended the throne.

As long as you can follow Gao Qiu and become an official in more than a year, you will marry Pan Qiaolian and do some big business in Kaifeng Prefecture, and you can also find a way out for the disaster in more than 20 years... What a good wishful plan?

Wu Haogu's refusal made Chen Youwen vent his anger, but at the same time it made Liu Youfang feel a little embarrassed.

Liu Youfang knew that words like being rough and sloppy are all lies, but in fact they just look down on him as a middle-aged official!

In fact, Wu Haoguruo and Kenshou bowed to him, Liu Youfang would be able to live without any silence. What is the point of a tens of thousands of dollars?

Liu Youfang has been in charge of Kaifeng's calligraphy and painting business for decades, and his family's property has long been several million (besides, money is not his loss). Money is just a number. If you can get the official family, the queen mother's favor is the most important thing. If Wu Haogu is willing to surrender, you can paint for the nobles in the palace. With his unique photo skills, you are afraid that you can't coax the official family. If the queen mother is happy?

As long as the official family is happy, the empress dowager will be happy and let Liu Youfang take out 50,000 and get out.

But Wu Haogu is not aware of eloquence!

He felt extremely hatred, but his face was still extremely gentle. Liu Youfang smiled and said, "If you don't have to wait for the imperial edict, you can also be a decree. Please wait a while before our family recommends you to paint for the empress dowager. With your painting skills, you will definitely be rewarded."

Wu Haogu hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Then Haogu will thank the deputy minister for raising him."
