Wu Haogu sat in his calligraphy, as if he hadn't woken up from his busyness. He came through his soul, and it hasn't been a year yet, but he has made a great career. Behind this success, of course, is a busy Wu Haogu.

What kind of double holidays, what annual leave, what kind of case and one day off, all of them. That was really a dedication of his whole life and all his energy to the cause of feudalism in the Great Song Dynasty. is so busy that he doesn't even have time to fall in love and engage in a junior, since he returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he hasn't gone shopping with Pan Qiaolian, and now he has "wanted" Mo Niangzi, and he has no time to discuss with her about painting the human body, and he hasn't even held hands......

It seems that it is not easy to start a business, be an official, and shoot horses, and white gloves are not so easy.

Even if it's a big year, it's not peaceful...... The Chinese New Year is the most important day of the year!

It's really a shame to say that the face of the traverser, others have to save the country and the people once they cross over and do great things, at least they have to toss out a constitution that restricts the imperial power, and by the way, take a look at the old face of the traitor of the dynasty.

But Wu Haogu has been busy patting his ass these days...... The whole thing is a sycophant!

It's hard to celebrate the New Year, that is, the New Year's Eve and the Yuan Day can temporarily stay away from the sycophants - because when the various traitors and Qingtian of Kaifeng Mansion have to nourish their spirits on this day, because they have to get up in the early morning of the next day to attend the Yuan Ri Dynasty Meeting, to shoot the emperor and the queen mother's sycophants, usually have to shoot from the rooster to the ghost to go home to sleep. Therefore, from the second day of the first month of the first month, it is the time for the petty officials of Kaifeng Mansion to pat the big officials.

When Wu Haogu was thinking about continuing his sycophantic career, the footsteps sounded softly, and he saw his current right-hand men, Mi Youren, Su Dalang, Guo Jing, Liu Wuji, Zhang Xizai, Hua Manshan, Wei Sihai, Xie Shangbin, and Zhou Gao, the manager of the short and fat utility room who was not tall, and Huang Zhisheng Huang Duliu, who had jumped from the general as a supervisor, was tall and thin, and had a dignified Chinese face, all dressed neatly and walked in together. Only one Lin Wancheng, who was guarding the Christie's main store, and the alternate mannequin Mo Niangzi did not come.

Wu Haogu beckoned to the newcomer Huang Zhisheng: "Daren (Huang Zhisheng's trade name)...... You're here just in time, I've already drawn a sketch of the fairy view, so let's take a look......"

Painting the fairy view is a very important sycophant project, and it must be completed quickly!

The drawings and construction plan must be completed before Wu Haogu leaves Kaifeng Mansion for Liao, and the project must be completed when Wu Haogu returns. In this way, Wu Haogu and Zhao Ji can continue to study the scientific truth in the painting immortal temple......

Before he finished speaking, Guo Jing smiled and made a look, and everyone saluted together: "First I wish the staff (teacher) a safe year!" ”

Wu Haogu was stunned, and unconsciously smiled and returned the salute. For a while, I didn't know what to say. Mi Youren had already handed over a list with a smile: "Teacher, the student has drawn up a list, and the people on the list must go to worship." ”

What a student! Wu Haogu glanced at Mi Youren gratefully, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't know who to give a gift to, how many gifts to give. This is knowledge! It's a pity that Mi Youren will eventually be one of the eight thieves (I'm afraid it will be the nine thieves...... I should still find a kobold military advisor as soon as possible.

Su Dalang also smiled and handed over another list, "Dong Weng, this is the list of guests for the Yuan Day banquet, and the people on the list are sure to attend." In addition to their own people, they are all characters in the calligraphy and painting industry...... And I want to worship the artist under your tutelage. ”

These are all people who came to shoot Wu Haogu's ass...... Isn't it just to send it out for the sake of recycling?

In fact, Wu Haogu should have received the gift a long time ago, but he was too busy and didn't have the time to take care of it, so he delayed it until now...... A big official who doesn't even have a formal official body is so busy that he doesn't even have time to receive gifts, is there any reason for such an official not to be promoted?

"Okay, okay." Wu Haogu even said two good, but he didn't look at the list handed by Su Dalang - these people don't matter, it's just a small person. Those who know each other can give one of them the head of the calligraphy and painting line, and if they don't know each other, they will clean up when they come back from Liao!

What he opened was the list handed over by Mi Youren, and there was only one name on the list, which was Cai Jing!

Cai Jing is a traitor......

Isn't the traverser supposed to slap the traitor's ear scraper? How can you go and shoot the traitor's ass?

And Cai Jing is still the boss of the New Party, if he gets too close to him, is there a suspicion of "joining the party"?

Wu Haogu hesitated, "Master Cai, he ......"

"When Mr. Cai said that when he was in Fengle Building, it was equivalent to handing you the ladder." Mi Youren said, "If the teacher doesn't go up, what will Mr. Cai think?" ”

The "horse" has already exposed its ass to you, and if you don't shoot it twice, the "horse" will be angry - do you think Cai Jing's ass can be shot by a person? But the Privy Council has accepted the decree, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a deacon. There are not many people in the officialdom who want to pat him on the back and can't ......

Mi Youren continued: "If the teacher only wants to do a good job in calligraphy and painting at the moment, it doesn't matter if he doesn't make friends with Master Cai. But if the teacher is interested in running the school...... Bachelor Cai is a must to befriend. ”

Wu Haogu is not a simple painting study, he is the first person in the painting, and he does not have to worry about having no disciples to run a painting school. But to run a "university" and a Six Arts Academy, Wu Haogu is neither a Hongru nor a Jinshi, even if he gets a backdoor Jinshi, Qingliu Shilin may not be convinced......

So there must be the support of a civilian boss like Cai Jing!

As for those decent civil officials who have left their names in history...... They are either the old party hated by Emperor Zhezong, or they simply pretend to be high-ranking and do not look down on Wu Haogu at all.

"Moreover," Mi Youren's words were not finished, "when the teacher returns to Liao, most of them will be appointed as an ordination, and with the teacher's status in the painting world, if the ordination is an ordination, most of them will be the editors of the Privy Council's Editorial Department." And Master Cai is in charge of the Privy Council Editorial Department with Du Chengzhi. ”

O Privy Council! It was a yamen with military merits...... As soon as Cai Jing's hand loosened, it would be much easier for Wu Haogu to become an official.

In addition, if Cai Jing is covering Wu Haogu, there will be no problem for Wu Haogu to pass the lock hall test in the future...... Song Huizong wants to help cheat, and Wu Haogu has to pass the lock hall test in advance with his own book. You can't let Song Huizong order Wu Haogu to be exempted from the test, right? This one is too ugly.

"That's right!" Wu Haogu thought for a while, and then asked, "What about others?" Why is there only one Bachelor Cai? ”

"Someone else can make a post and send a gift, and the student will prepare it for the teacher." Mi Youren said with a smile, "The backers in the officialdom are not numbered, and one effective backer is enough." If there are too many figures of the New Party, it is inevitable that people will be labeled as pawns of the New Party. ”

Joining the party is not the same thing as "joining the party...... Moreover, the new party and the old party are not just anyone's members. Wu Haogu is not an official now, and even if he is awarded an official, he is just a trick official who does not enter the clear stream, and he is not qualified to "join the party", at most he is a pawn. This doesn't make much sense, so Wu Haogu is still respectful of the old and new parties, and it is only Cai Jing who is stammering.

"Jian Shangshu doesn't need to make a pawn over there?"

Jian Xuchen is the top boss of Wu Haogu's mission to Liao, and the boss's sycophants should be filmed, so Wu Haogu is ready to bring a generous gift to visit after the Yuan Dynasty.

"Not necessarily." Mi Youren shook his head and said, "He is a famous cool official, and his enemies are all over the officialdom, so he doesn't dare to accept generous gifts from others for fear of being caught." Even if the teacher falls in love with this person, sooner or later he will be implicated by him, but Mr. Cai is a good person and a good official. ”

Although Cai Jing was ranked among the "Six Thieves" in later generations, he seemed to be a big villain, but at the moment he is a well-known good man and good official. The ability to do things is recognized, the sycophant kung fu is first-class, and the relationship with all parties is good, and the friends are all over the old and new parties. If there is anything bad about him, except that he is a little corrupt, he has no principles, and he is a good official who works hard to be an official.

"Okay," Wu Haogu laughed, "Then I will only worship the immortal Master Cai." By the way, what kind of gift do you want to give? ”

Mi Youren didn't list the name of the gift on the list, so Wu Dalang asked.

"There's no hurry," Mi Youren said with a smile, "Let's see how much the teacher can receive in the next two days...... Mr. Cai loves calligraphy, if you can get a piece of the deceased Ming Dynasty or the five generations of famous writers, and then transfer it to Bachelor Cai. ”

The authentic calligraphy of famous artists has always been the favorite gift of the Northern Song Dynasty bureaucrats, and their high price is also related to this. Although the ancient Wuhao family has been engaged in calligraphy and painting for generations, it has always been mainly painting, and most of the calligraphy books in their hands are imitations or works of second- and third-rate calligraphers. It would be a bit rude to give it to a calligrapher like Cai Jing.

Fortunately, Wu Haogu is not only unable to enter and exit now, he is also qualified to receive the filial piety of the major merchants of the calligraphy and painting industry - this is actually a special industry, bribing officials, being officials and accepting bribes, and then taking out a part of the bribes and sending them up...... It's still a virtuous circle!

"Okay," Wu Haogu smiled, his eyes swept around the room, "I'm also very busy, I can't do it at the head of calligraphy and painting, it depends on who is more sensible." ”

As he spoke, Wu Haogu stood up, walked to the bookshelf and took out a red lacquered box and placed it on the bookcase. The red envelopes are filled with personal friends, ranging from ten to hundreds, and the names are written on the red envelopes. are all Christie's shopkeepers, stewards, and associates, and Guo Jing and Liu Wuji also have their own.

"The big guy has been fortunate these days," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Our Christie's line is also very prosperous, these red envelopes are a little heart, and after the New Year, Christie's will also have another dividend for everyone." Come on one by one, Mi Yuanhui, this is for you......"
