Chapter 41: The Opportunity Is Coming

In the middle of the day, the east wind blew, and the dark clouds rolled in the sky, as if a rainstorm was coming.

Wu Chengzhi's mood at this time was the same as this weather, and he wanted to beat people violently.

Since this morning, he has been sitting in the study, staring at Wu Haogu's "Feng Erniang Photo", staring at Wu Haogu's "Feng Erniang Photo", staring intently and moving. But in the heart, there are bursts of storm.

Because...... He already saw that something was wrong!

His fame on Panlou Street is not wasted, how can you not see that all the brushwork of Wu Haogu's "Feng Erniang Photo Picture" is the same as "Drunken Arhat".

Moreover, the level of "Feng Erniang Photo" in terms of realism and photojournalism slightly exceeds that of "Drunken Arhat". With the brushwork learned in "Drunken Arhat", it is impossible to draw "Feng Erniang Photo" in any case, and it is possible to do the opposite......

Also, How long has it been since "Drunken Arhat" was published? Who can learn all the brushstrokes used in this painting in such a short period of time, and then integrate them and sublimate them?

In other words, "Feng Erniang Photo" and "Drunken Arhat" are very likely to be painted by one person!

And this person is his son Wu Haogu!

But...... How much level does Wu Haogu have in painting, how can Wu Chengzhi not know?

In Wu Haogu's impression, his eldest son Dingtian is a second-rate painter, and it is difficult to enter the elegant hall throughout his life. The calligraphy and painting official teeth on Panlou Street are probably the final height he can reach.

And now...... Wu Haogu is already a generation of painting saints!

What's going on?

Could it be that the ancestors blessed this kid Wu Haogu and suddenly opened his mind? Ancestors are also yes, why don't you talk about such a big thing?

Just when Wu Chengzhi was puzzled, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and it was Feng Erniang who came in.

Feng Erniang's face was sad, looking at her husband who was sitting still, and she looked very sad.

"Official...... Why did you sit for half a day? ”

She went to Kaifeng Mansion this morning to see her son Wu Haowen, and when she came back, she heard from Granny Wang that Wu Chengzhi had locked herself in the study.

"Oh," Wu Chengzhi replied, "look at the painting." ”

Feng Erniang frowned, "Looking at the painting for an afternoon?" ”

She moved the lotus step lightly, went to Wu Chengzhi's back, and glanced at the picture on the desk, "This one, isn't it painted by Da Lang?" It's really like, I didn't expect Dalang's painting skills to reach such a point. ”

"Don't say you didn't expect it," Wu Chengzhi smiled bitterly, "Even my father, who taught him to draw, didn't expect ......."

"It's always a good thing, isn't it?" Feng Erniang asked, "This kind of painting skill can be called the first person in the world." ”

"Yes, of course it's good." Wu Chengzhi nodded and shook his head again, "But he shouldn't use this painting skill to cheat people out of money." ”

"What's wrong?" Feng Erniang is a little strange, Wu Chengzhi himself has done a lot of fake paintings to cheat money.

Wu Chengzhi sighed, "Lady, you will go with me tomorrow to make peace and leave." ”

"And ...... And away? With Da Lang's painting skills, can't he ......?"

"It's hard to say," Wu Chengzhi sighed, "whether it's a blessing or a curse, I don't know...... My son will not listen to me now. can only let him go, just hoping not to be tired to Erlang.

By the way, how's Jiro? With such a big thing happening at home, does he still have the heart to study? ”

Feng Erniang also sighed when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say.

……

Wu Haogu wants to take a big gamble?

Moreover, there is a certainty of victory!

In this regard, the horse king was a little incredulous.

"Gao Dalang, is Wu Dalang's portrait famous on Panlou Street?"

"It's not very famous, but no one knew about his boundary painting platform before, and even now, few people know his skills." Gao Yu replied while hanging a freshly framed "Mulberry Family Tile Map" next to another "Sang Family Tile Map".

The old horse Wang Shu hugged his arms and looked at the two paintings in front of him, and finally there was a picture of seven or eight. He exhaled and said, "It took no less than thirty papers to get started...... If you want to get the essence of it, you have to spend ten years.

If his portrait portrait has the ability to paint the floor, it is undoubtedly the saint of painting in the world! ”

"The painter is just a painter," Gao Yu said with a smile on his face, "If there is no one to shelter, after tomorrow, his father and son will have no place to stand in Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Wang Xuan glanced at Gao Yu.

"You want me to take him in?"

Gao Yu smiled and said: "The horse, the living painting saint, is better than the dead "Eighty-Seven Immortals", right?" ”

"It's good," Wang Shu shook his head and said, "But I, Wang Xu, can only keep the dead "Eighty-Seven Immortals", but I can't keep the living painting saint." And I'm old, and I don't have a few decades to devote to painting.

By the way, then Wu Dalang also said that he wanted to take a picture for you? ”

"Yes, he's going to draw a Keju Picture."

"Draw a "Keju Picture"?"

Wang Shu thought for a while, "If you really draw well, it's an opportunity." ”

"Is it Wu Dalang's chance?" Gao Yu asked.

"It's also your tall man's." Wang Xuan glanced at his retinue, "There is only one chance, you should take advantage of it." ”

Gao Yu didn't know that Wang Shu wanted to give himself and Wu Dalang a chance, but he instinctively felt that if he seized this opportunity, he could change his fate.

Thinking of this, Gao Yu hurriedly shook it to the ground, "The horse is kind, Gao Yu has no teeth and never forgets." ”

When Wang Shu heard this, he immediately smiled, "That's it." Gao Dalang, go to prepare a car for the old man, the old man is going to Zhen'an Fang to meet an old friend, I heard that she recently got a baby, very beautiful! ”

"Whoa."

……

At this time, in Chen Youwen's mansion, several famous figures who are now in Kaifeng's calligraphy, painting and literature are gathered together in his mansion.

Mi Youren was also among them. Although he was a prisoner of the country, and was born in a family of lords, he belonged to a promising scholar. But he also knows that the capital he really has to live in is calligraphy and painting.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the early years, most of the time the lords and nobles were rich and noble. It is not difficult to get an official, but it is very difficult to become big, unless you can take the Jinshi exam with your ability.

If you go through the back door of the Guozijian to become an official, then you will think about places such as the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to even know a government and a state. Most of them are just being an idle official in Beijing, or going out of Beijing to be a county magistrate.

However, Mi Youren was not very interested in being an official in the outside world, and it was his ideal to be an official in charge of calligraphy and painting in Kaifeng Mansion (the Hanlin Calligraphy Bureau and the Painting Academy were jointly managed by civil officials and officials). Not only is it easy, but the oil and water are not bad.

And if you want to sit in this kind of position, you have to have a good relationship with the edicts of the painting academy and the academy, as well as the leading figures on Panlou Street.

Therefore, among the people who congratulated Chen Youwen on his appointment as an official today, Mi Youren was there.

Chen Youwen's job in the Panlou market is a big event, the banquet was placed in the Wang Tower, one of the four towers of the Wang Tower was chartered, a flowing water banquet was placed, and a popular singer was invited to perform.

But it's not time to eat yet, so it's just a few characters with heads and faces gathered in Chen Youwen's house, a little fruit, a few pots of tea, and chatting about things. And Chen Daguan, who wore a green uniform, looked complacent.

He is no longer an official, but a real official!

Although he really paid his blood for this official, this money is worth it. Because how big an official is, how much wealth can be made...... Now Chen Youwen not only has an official, but also has the dispatch to be sent by the edict in his hands, and he has both officials and powers.

Are you still afraid that you won't be able to get this money back?

However, Chen Youwen, who finally put on the official robe as he wished, always felt a little unhappy in his heart, that is, Wu Chengzhi's son Wu Haogu, who was not very useful, somehow increased his ability!

actually has a handful of boundary paintings that can make Wang Shu and Mi Youren look sideways...... And what made him even more uneasy was that he Chen Youwen Chen Da was edicted, and the giants on Panlou Street didn't know anything about Wu Haogu's skills. If it hadn't been for Mi Youren, who came to congratulate him, he would still be kept in the dark.

Could it be that this martial arts is hidden in the depths?

But why did he do it? What are the benefits?

Also, he used words to provoke Mi Youren to gamble in Panjiayuan, obviously wanting to be famous!

At the moment when this samurai family has become a dish, he shows his true ability to seek fame...... It is clear that he is unwilling to be blackmailed by the robbery of the calligraphy and painting industry.

This...... It's not in order!

"Yuan Hui, what did you bet with him?" Chen Youwen gently put down the tea bowl and asked Mi Youren in a low voice.

Mi Youren's eyes swept around, and he said with a smile: "You should be able to guess it...... Why is the samurai in trouble now? ”

Chen Youwen pressed his forehead, "I was confused, I didn't expect it." He smiled, "In this way, Wu Dalang is suddenly ill and rushed to the doctor, right?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Mi Youren just shook his head, "If it's a landscape, he should be inferior to me, and if it's a boundary painting, I'm not as good as him." But do you ...... a portrait Their martial arts family has inherited the Wu family. ”

"His Wu family is not as good as you......" Chen Youwen said halfway, and suddenly shook his head, "Unless he didn't show his true skills in the past!" ”

"What does it mean to not show your true skills in the past?"

Chen Youwen rolled his eyes and said lightly: "I just want to find an opportunity to make a splash!" ”

"A blockbuster opportunity?" Mi Youren frowned, "Wouldn't that treat me as a stepping stone?" ”
