Chapter 50 Pan Daguan's troubles

After nightfall, a sudden light rain dispelled some heat that gathered in the afternoon.

After the rain, the air in Panjiayuan was very fresh, filled with a sweet fragrance. The rain tickled down the broken eaves and fell on the bluestone aisle, and then splashed Mercury. A little further away, ancient trees, strange rocks, and pools were all shrouded under the raindrops, as if covered with a layer of gauze.

"Dalang, the rain is so heavy, don't go back, so let's take a night off in the West Fourth Room."

It was still in that pavilion, on the second floor, where Pan Qiaolian was just photographed, and now there was a table of banquets. A shabu shabu was placed in the middle, and the shabu was filled with various kinds of meat slices (beef, mutton, rabbit meat), vegetables, cut sashimi (sashimi), a large plate of Dongpo pork, and a few plates of sauce. It was steaming and had a bit of the taste of hot pot in later generations.

Six people who were eating were Pan Xiao'an, Pan Qiaolian, Li Tang, Wu Haogu, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji.

This was the second meal Wu Haogu and others had in Panjiayuan. After the gambling battle at noon, Pan Xiao'an was the host and had a banquet in Panjiayuan. There were also family singing and dancing to cheer them up. It lasted until the end of the day before it dispersed. I was so happy.

At the banquet, Wu Haogu also had a chat with Liu Youfang and Mi Youren, as if he had really let go of his past grudges.

After the banquet, Wu Haogu drew a "Cuju Photo" for Gao Qiu, which was also a fine-cut photo, but it was not finished. Just after the lines were drawn, it was night and it started to rain.

After sending Gao Qiu away, Mr. Pan kept Wu Haogu and others for dinner, and asked them to stay in the Pan family.

"Then you'd rather be respectful than obedience." Wu Haogu did not reject the kindness of Grand Official Pan, and he also wanted to spend more time with Pan Qiaolian.

Even if it is not in the same room, it is good to be in the same yard.

"Da Lang," Pan Xiao'an looked at Pan Qiaolian with a happy expression on her face and sighed, "What are your plans in the future?"

"I originally planned to leave Kaifeng Prefecture to avoid it for a year and a half, and wait until Gao Laozi climbs onto King Duan and come back..."

Wu Haogu told the official Pan all his plans. He was now planning to marry Pan Qiaolian as his wife. Official Pan was his eldest brother-in-law, not an outsider.

"Can Gao Shiyan climb to King Duan?" asked Mr. Pan.

"Shi Yan" is the font size of Gao Qiu. Mr. Pan made a wide range of friends and had some friendships with Gao Qiu, so he called his font size.

"Yes." Wu Haogu smiled, "Brother Gao said that King Duan was good at Cuju, calligraphy and painting. The "Cuju Photo Picture" I drew for Brother Gao would definitely help him become a disciple of the Duan Palace."

"If this is the case... it would be a way to survive." Pan Xiao'an nodded slightly.

"But now it seems that there is no need to leave Tokyo." Wu Haogu took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "It seems that he has made up his past grudges with Liu Da Diao Wang today... It seems that he had misunderstood him before."

"Relieve the past grievances?" Pan Xiao'an snorted, "If you agree to enter the Hanlin Academy today, you can relieve the past grievances."

"Enter the Picture Academy?" Wu Haogu shook his head, "Isn't this falling into his hands?"

"So what if it falls into his hands?" Pan Xiao'an said, "As long as you can use it for him, he can tolerate you... Tens of thousands of dollars are not a big deal for him. Is there anything I don't feel satisfied with if I can buy a painter like you?"

Anything else to say?

After thinking about it, Wu Haogu still felt that he was at a disadvantage with Liu Youfang, a noble man... Following Gao Qiu's ladder, he was 70% to 80% sure that he could directly climb to Song Huizong.

Song Huizong was the emperor, and Liu Youfang was just a eunuch. Moreover, Huizong was still young and could protect himself for at least twenty-six or seven years, but Liu Youfang seemed to be desperate.

And... if you can't get to the Emperor Huizong of Song, you can't marry Pan Qiaolian, a beautiful lady. Without Pan Jinlian, oh, it's Pan Qiaolian, how can you live by Wu Dalang?

Pan Xiao'an seemed to see Wu Haogu's idea, but shook his head and said, "Although the official family is weak, he is only in his twenties after all, and this King Duan Xiaoyao still has to do it.

A Xiaoyao King is not much better than a deputy master. How many princes in this dynasty can control the power?

Moreover, how often can you join Duan Wang? Six months or one year?"

Wu Haogu naturally thought about the problem of Mr. Pan. Emperor Zhezong had more than a year to live, and then Zhao Ji's world would be in charge. Gao Qiu did not have his own help and would soon climb to the high branch of King Duan.

At most, I would wander outside until the beginning of the third year of Yuanfu, and then return to Kaifeng Mansion with glory. Pan Qiaolian could get married in a blink of an eye. Why should I hold a castrated man's stinky foot?

"The Yuanfu will be back at the beginning of the third year at the latest," Wu Haogu said to the official Pan with a smile. "But now it seems that there is no need to go out..."

"Don't go out?" Mr. Pan looked at Wu Haogu, who was already a little drunk, "Dalang, since you don't follow Deputy Director Liu, you still want to be stable in Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"Can't you be safe?" Wu Haogu shook his head, a little puzzled.

In fact, he also knew that it was not safe to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture, but staying in Kaifeng Prefecture would allow you to meet Pan Qiaolian often!

Official Pan sneer smiled, "I thought you suddenly became smart, but I didn't want to be a fool." He shook his head and said, "As a person, you must always remember to be on guard against others!"

Besides, what you offended this time was not an ordinary person, but a big sable. Although the intern ministers of this dynasty were restrained and not as arrogant as the Han and Tang Dynasties, you did not have a single official, and you were not an "official censor" who had entered the Imperial Academy. Do you really think he can't touch you?

In my opinion, Dalang, it’s better for you to leave Beijing earlier. You have to bring more guards to prevent accidents.”

"Dalang, I see that Master Pan is right," Guo Jing obviously agreed with Pan Xiao'an's opinion. He said, "I have found three men who can serve as guards to fight. They are all heroes from the Western Army and can always protect you to Haizhou."

"It's still Brother Guo." Mr. Pan nodded repeatedly, "It's good to go to Haizhou to avoid it for a while. I have a semicolon there, a gold, silver and silk shop, and a farm. Then you can go there and have a look after it."

The main business of the Pan family’s gold, silver, silk and silk shop is the certificate of redeemable salt and tea obtained from Kaifeng Prefecture after merchants paid food and grass to the border army.

However, the grain merchants who obtained the transfer were all grain merchants, and they would not sell salt or tea, so they would sell them in Kaifeng Prefecture to gold, silver and silk shops. The transfer shops had semicolons in cities with goods and salt fields. The transfer shops purchased in Kaifeng Prefecture would be transported there to sell them to salt merchants and tea merchants.

In addition, the gold, silver and silk transfer shop will also carry out "flying money", that is, remittance business, between these cities and Kaifeng Prefectures. Wu Haogu only needs to open the "flying money" in the Pan family's gold, silver and silk transfer shop in Kaifeng Prefecture to "flying money" to Haizhou, which is very convenient. Through the "flying money system" of the Pan family's gold, silver and silk transfer shop, Wu Haogu can also maintain communication with Pan Qiaolian.

For his own girl, Mr. Pan still thought very carefully.

"Eleventh Brother," Pan Qiaolian was thinking about Wu Haogu. She frowned and asked, "If it is true as you said, and husband Liu is not that easy to meet, then he can't find Dalang. Will he find the bad luck of Wu Daguanren and Wu Erlang?"

"Yes, most of them," Mr. Pan looked at Wu Haogu, "I have to let Wu Xiangdao find a place to avoid him. Dalang, have you made any arrangements?"

"You can go to Daxiangguo Temple to avoid it for a while." Wu Hao said, "I have a friendship with the monk Shaozhuyuan in Daxiangguo Temple. I can let my father rely on it. As long as I don't leave Daxiangguo Temple, I should be safe."

"Have you ever had a friendship with the Roasted Pig Garden?" Pan Daren suddenly said, "By the way, your drunken arhat looks a bit like the Roasted Pig Garden. Didn't it be drawn according to him?

Wu Haogu smiled, "It's better for Brother Eleven to have good eyesight."

Official Pan nodded, "If he had protected him, even the Imperial City Department would not be able to find your father."
