At the intersection of East Crossroads, the business of the Su family tea shop has prospered a lot during this time.

The history of this tea shop is extremely long, almost not much different from Pan Lou. Being able to be part of the ghost market at the intersection of East Crossroads, the layout of this teahouse is naturally not far behind.

"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic characters. To the west of the base, humanity is: Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, how many heroes ...... at one time"

In the teahouse, Su Dongpo's "Nian Nujiao. Chibi Nostalgia", which is in line with the current situation of the northwest wind and smoke.

Before the time came, the teahouse was already full of guests. In addition to some official eunuchs' children gathering here, even the characters of the Panlou Street Calligraphy and Painting Company also come here to drink tea. Sujia Tea Workshop is a place of high consumption! After the recent singing and selling of "Drunken Arhat", it has reached a new level.

Not only are there female singers singing and playing, but also a variety of famous tea and pastries are supplied, and the fees are naturally rising.

Drinking a pot of tea here and listening to a little song always costs hundreds of dollars, so it is not a place for ordinary people to come.

And those guest officials who came to the teahouse were not actually for listening to music and tasting tea, but more for listening to the news.

There is a treasure in the ghost market, and there are any high-ranking officials and dignitaries who come to Beijing, where there is a good deedhouse with a lot of money, and where there will be a poetry gathering...... News like this can often be heard in the teahouses on East Cross Street. It is through this place that the players and merchants of the Panlou Street Calligraphy and Painting Store obtain all kinds of information. Sometimes, players and merchants can also make deals in the teahouse, and tens of thousands of transactions are made in the sound of silk and bamboo music.

It is precisely because of these many factors that the teahouse at the intersection of East Crossroads is particularly lively.

"Su Dalang, how can there be so many people in this building today?"

In the window seat of the teahouse, Gao Yu, who had just played a game with someone, grabbed Su Dalang and inquired curiously.

"Gao Dalang, you don't know yet, do you? Recently, there has been another great painter on our Panlou Street. ”

This Su Dalang turned out to be familiar with Gao Yu. Gao Yu can be a scribe of Su Dongpo and Wang Xu, can also write a good hand, has a certain foundation in poetry and songs, and can also make guns to help, so he is naturally a bit of a background.

In fact, he is also the "leftovers" of the forbidden army, and he is similar to Pan Xiao'an and Pan Daguan, but Pan Xiao'an has a father who can do business, and Gao Yu does not have a good father.

And the Su Dalang family, who has been brewing vinegar for generations, naturally has some background, and can be traded in the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion for more than a hundred years, is it possible without a background?

As early as more than 100 years ago, his family sent his daughter to the palace and became the concubine of Emperor Taizong. From the Zhenzong Dynasty onwards, the housewives of the Su family's old vinegar have all been county lords from the Zhao family's clan.

In addition to marrying with the Zhao family from generation to generation (in fact, it was "bought" with money), the Su family did not forget to "catch a son-in-law under the list", almost every generation of the head of the Su family has a son-in-law of Jinshi, and Su Dalang himself also has a brother-in-law who is an official in Yushitai.

When it comes to the backstage, the Su family who brews vinegar is much tougher than the samurai who sells paintings! And he himself can barely reach the Yanai circle of Kaifeng Mansion - his father married the county lord of the Zhao family, and he also got a nominal sesame official, so he is also a fat Yanei.

So Su Dalang and Gao Yu are people in the same circle, and the two have known each other for a long time.

Now hearing Su Dalang's question, Gao Yu suddenly smiled, "How come I don't know?" Nowadays, there are not many people who can be called calligraphy and painting on Panlou Street, and what has recently emerged is about the only Shao Dong Wu Haogu of the martial arts painting house. ”

When Su Dalang heard this, he immediately showed a look of astonishment, "Big brother is really psychic, and even Wu Haogu knows about it." ”

"Hehe, don't hide it from Brother Su, I not only know the ability of the martial artist, but also dedicated a 'boundary painting platform' from him to the master of the horse.

After the horse master and the millet officials looked at the painting, they were full of praise. ”

"No wonder, it turned out that the Xiaomi officials wanted to compete with him when they saw Wu Dalang's boundary painting."

"Compare the world paintings?" Gao Yu shook his head again and again, "Then the Xiaomi official can't win...... If it is better than the landscape, maybe millet can still win against that Wuda. ”

Su Dalang said with a smile: "It's not a boundary painting, the ears and eyes of the eldest brother are really not as good as the younger brother." ”

"Isn't it better than boundary painting? What is that? ”

"Than a photo." Su Dalang said, "On the first day of April, I gambled on painting skills in Panjiayuan. ”

Gao Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Photo?" White portraits? ”

"I don't know if it's a white drawing, but it's definitely a photo." Su Dalang said with great certainty, "Gao Dalang, are you going to Panjiayuan on the first day of April?" ”

Gao Yu didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Brother Su, how did you know about Pan Yuan's fighting skills on the first day of April?" ”

Su Dalang laughed and touched the back of his head, "I also heard from others...... Big brother, although I am well-informed in this place, most of it is news that has no source. ”

The news without a source was deliberately released by someone, and the person who released the news was not someone else, it was Wu Haogu, who was going to fight with Mi Youren on the first day of April.

Of course, it was not Wu Haogu who went to the teahouse on East Cross Street to put the news on him, but his two good brothers Guo Jing and Liu Wuji did it.

Spreading false news is also one of the "daily businesses" of Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and other small private teeth on Panlou Street.

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are both rich people now, and small things like releasing news can be done easily. They spent a little money, hired dozens of small private people, and in two days they knew the news all over the street (Panlou Street).

Gao Yu thought about it for a while, and asked Su Dalang again: "Da Lang, have the big officials of the martial arts family been released from Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

"yes, it only came out a few days ago." Su Dalang replied.

"Is the samurai painting still open?" Gao Yu asked again.

"What's the bottom of the painting?" Su Dalang said, "Dudian has paved the Pan family's gold, silver, silk and silk...... It is estimated that it will not be redeemed, and it will not be long before it will be renamed Chenjia Huazhai. ”

"I see." Gao Yu nodded, thinking: No wonder I couldn't find him in Dailou Academy yesterday, I should have gone home.

Thinking of this, Gao Yu didn't drink tea anymore, picked up his "bow" (that is, the bow of Juju), said hello to Su Dalang, and went to the martial arts house in Sweet Water Lane.

……

Gao Yu didn't guess wrong, Wu Haogu was staying at home at this time, and he had just finished painting a "Feng Erniang Photo", on silk, coloring...... Oh, of course, it's not about drawing the human body.

In the painting, Feng Erniang is wearing a red straight-necked gown on her upper body, a bandeau and a belly wrap inside, and a skirt on her lower body, sitting in a rose chair in all directions. It looks as dignified as it looks, not at all like a kabuki background, but like a court woman.

This painting was asked by Wu Chengzhi to be painted, and it took two days to complete the coloring from the beginning of the draft.

"Like, it's too much...... Son, where did you learn this life-size portrait technique? ”

And the day before yesterday, when Wu Haogu was using charcoal strips to draft, Wu Chengzhi was completely stunned by his son's painting skills.

He originally thought that his son's painting skills were just mediocre, and it was impossible to win against Mi Youren. But I don't want my son's photo skills to be so high, if he is realistic, he has long been above the painting of Saint Wu Daozi!

Now that he sees the colored "Feng Erniang Photo Picture", he is a little suspicious that his son is possessed by the heavenly painting immortals.

"Of course, the child's drawing skills are taught by the father."

Wu Haogu replied as he carefully removed the familiar silk from the drawing board and gently spread it on Wu Chengzhi's desk.

"You can't teach it as a father......" Wu Chengzhi frowned and looked at his son, not feeling like a god, and then looked at the painting again.

Only then did he continue: "With this kind of painting skills, there is always a Hanlin edict." Portrait photography is the most difficult, and there are few masters in the Hanlin Painting Academy...... They're not as good as you!

Son, why don't you go and worship Liu Youfang's door. Liu Da Diao is in charge of calligraphy and painting in the palace, and there must be a few great talents under him. You're a great talent now! ”

Entering Liu Youfang's disciple means worshipping Liu Youfang as a teacher, and then entering the Hanlin Painting Academy as Liu Youfang's protégé.

In this way, not only can the bribe be less, but also the palace can be sheltered...... With the ability to take portraits of the ancients, as long as you draw a piece of paper for the Queen Mother's official family, you may be able to be favored.

"Worship that eggless pickle?" As soon as Wu Haogu heard Liu Youfang's name, he was not very angry, "Hmph, I will be able to rely on the prince in the near future and become the protégé of the eunuch?" ”

Although the protégé is more upscale than the doorman, the protégé of the eunuch is too lowly, how can he be worthy of Pan Qiaolian?

If he enters Liu Youfang's door, then who will save Pan Jinlian, no, to save Pan Qiaolian from the sea of suffering?
