Chapter 4 Guarantor
"The surname is Zhao, this paper painting is genuine! How to retreat? ”
The voice of the answer came through the closed door of the painting, and then Wu Haogu saw that the door of the painting was pushed open from the inside. A boy of sixteen or seventeen years of age, with a beautiful face and a somewhat thin and short appearance, appeared inside the door.
The boy was also dressed as a scholar, with a green leaf flower inserted in his sideburns, and he was looking at Wu Dalang angrily.
This boy was originally Wu Haogu's half-brother, named Haowen, only 16 years old this year, is a scholar who cultivates Confucianism, most of the time in Kaifeng Mansion School, not much to Panlou Street to help, naturally do not know the rules of Panlou Street.
Whether the calligraphy and paintings on Panlou Street are really true or not, it is not said by the buyers or sellers themselves, but must be identified by the officials of the Kaifeng Calligraphy and Painting Company or the edicts of the Hanlin Calligraphy and Art Bureau and the Hanlin Painting Institute.
Moreover, according to the rules, the authenticity of the calligraphy and paintings sold by the official tooth merchants cannot be judged by other calligraphy and painting officials, and the Hanlin edict must be applied.
"Zhao Daguan, which one of the edicts issued a document saying that the painting is a fake?" Wu Haogu frowned, and he actually understood what was going on in his heart.
"It's Chen Daguan, Hanlin Painting Institute is waiting for Zhao Zhi Chen Daguan!"
Although it is not an official (the Hanlin Academy of Painting is respected by the Imperial Academy, but the Imperial Court is only the status of an official), it is infinitely close to the post (the official is the way for the official to be transferred to the official), and it may be an official at any time.
And the people who can be the edict are all great experts in calligraphy and painting, not only outstanding painting skills, but also very good eyesight. In Kaifeng calligraphy and painting shop, to be edicted is the authority of the authority.
If the paintings and calligraphy sold by the samurai are fakes, then even if they are true, they are useless!
Zhao Tieniu said: "The palm eye document is here, you can read it yourself." ”
Zhao Tieniu took out another document and threw it in front of Wu Haogu. Wu Haogu didn't move, but Wu Haowen rushed out of the room, bent down to pick up the paperwork, and swept it with ten lines, his face suddenly became ugly.
"If Chen Beizhao issued a palm-eye document, then the martial artist would definitely sell it as a fake painting."
"Yes, how can the samurai painting shop do this kind of immoral business? A few days ago, it seems that the uterus also looked for his bag to return......"
There was a burst of discussion around, all of them were helping Zhao Tieniu to speak, Wu Haowen's face was extremely ugly, and a pair of eyes full of doubts stared at Zhao Tieniu.
Wu Haowen's face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Why didn't the Wan Daguan of the Wanjia shop come by himself?" I think there must be something strange about this! ”
Zhao Tieniu didn't care, and said with a hippie smile: "Wu Erlang, if you don't believe it, just go to the Wanjia shop on Mahang Street to find ten thousand officials and ask for clarification...... But after asking clearly, the 7,200 yuan is not a single child! ”
Wu Haogu sighed lightly, he knew that it was the same whether he asked or not!
The ten thousand officials of the Wanjia shop did not dare to disobey those big people who coveted the treasures of the martial arts, and Zhao Tieniu did not need to ask, he must have been instructed to come out and be a villain.
"I'll take the painting and see it." Wu Haogu said.
Zhao Tieniu smiled, and handed the scroll in his hand to Wu Haogu, Wu Haogu took the scroll and looked at it, there was a seal on it, and the seal was staked with the seal of "Hanlin Academy to be edicted to be directly displayed", half of the seal was staked on the seal, and the other half was staked on the scroll. In addition, at the splicing of the scroll and the seal, the words "fake" and "Chen Youwen" are also written on the line.
Wu Haogu knew that this was the rule of the calligraphy and painting shop to ask for the edict or the official tooth and palm, and the seller could only tear the seal and inspect the calligraphy and painting under the auspices of the Chinese people. If the painting and calligraphy is not the one sold, then the yamen will divide it.
"Since there is a seal of Chen Beizhao, let's do it according to the rules."
"Big Brother ......"
Hearing this, Wu Haowen almost jumped.
"Erlang," Wu Hao Guyi waved his hand, interrupting his younger brother's words, "The rules of the calligraphy and painting shop are like this!" ”
"But how can there be seven thousand two hundred cash in the family?"
The martial arts family has shops, real estate, and many high-quality paintings and calligraphy, but the cash on hand is not too much, otherwise there is no need to take the authentic works of the famous family to the Pan family's gold and silver silk silk in Jieshen Lane to mortgage and borrow.
Wu Haogu pretended to smile lightly and said, "It's just seven thousand two hundred, there will always be a way to raise it." ”
He threw his hand at Zhao Tieniu again, "Zhao Daguan, if you can trust my family, how about a grace period of two or three months?" ”
It is also the rule of the calligraphy and painting industry that the party who returns the painting should give the seller a grace period, and the big business of the painting and calligraphy store can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. No one would have such a large amount of cash in their backyard, so the seller must have time to raise money.
"One month at most," Zhao Tieniu looked at Wu Haogu and said word by word, "Just one month, no more!" ”
In fact, he didn't mean to get along with the martial arts, but he was also instructed by others to come out to find the bad luck of the martial arts. The one-month grace period was not something he could decide, but the man cared for.
"Well, a month is a month!" Wu Haogu arched his hand, "Then I also thanked Zhao Daguan." ”
"Wait," Zhao Tieniu stretched out his hand at this time, "Wu Dalang, it's not that I don't believe you, but now the martial family's family is clearly unsuccessful, and you can really get seven thousand two hundred taels in a month?" If your brother runs away, where will you go to find a certain family? ”
"And what are you going to do?"
"Hey, so be it. Here's an IOU, as long as you and your daddy in prison sign it, and after a month, if you can't pay it back, you will use your family's painting studio as collateral. If that's not enough, a certain family will also admit bad luck. ”
Wu Dalang sneered: "Zhao Tieniu, you can say it." The storefront in the Panlou Market, there are 30,000 taels on the market that can't be taken down, but you actually make 7,200 threads? My father and son won't sign this IOU. Even if you want to make a move, it won't be your turn to take over......"
"You ......"
Zhao Tieniu was a little annoyed.
But thinking that the martial arts family also has a friend who can't afford to offend, it's not easy to force people too much.
"It's okay if you don't sign it, then find a guarantor," Zhao Tieniu said. "If there is no one to guaranture, then don't blame Zhao for not being emotional......"
Sponsor?
Wu Haogu thought to himself, this is seven thousand two hundred! Naturally, it is not a problem when the martial arts are beautiful, but where is anyone who dares to come forward as a guarantee now?
When he was in a hurry, someone outside the crowd of onlookers suddenly shouted: "That bird, don't push people too much." ”
The crowd parted ways and made a way, Gao Yu, who was holding a painting, and Liu Wuji, who was carrying an easel, walked over.
"How about I take the guarantor?" Gao Yu handed the painting to Liu Wuji, and then patted his chest and said.
Zhao Tieniu is an old Jianghu, and when he glanced at Gao Yu, he knew that he was not a good person, so he immediately arched his hand: "Isn't it a big official with a big name?" ”
Gao Yu said: "The king of the horse stabbed the envoy Gao Yu, the little official in the house, and he may be a guarantor?" ”
Hearing Gao Yu's words, Zhao Tieniu and Wu Dalang's faces changed at the same time.
Gao Yu and Wu Dalang are not familiar with each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they met in Pingshui, so why should they protect Wu Haogu? And one guarantee is still 7,200?
This guarantor has done too strangely!
Wu Haogu looked at Gao Yu in surprise. Gao Yu seemed to have expected Wu Haogu's reaction and smiled at him.
"Since the tall officials have come forward as a guarantee, Xiaodi has no objections."
Zhao Tieniu heard Gao Yu report the name of the Horse King Thorn History, and his heart also jumped.
What kind of treasure did the samurai family get? Actually provoked so many big shots?
"If you can, then let me go right away. As for this deed of guarantee, tomorrow I will wait with Wu Dalang in Kaifeng County, and we will sign and draw a pledge in Kaifeng County (Kaifeng Prefecture has Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties in the city). ”
"A word is a certainty, Xiao Di will wait for the two masters in front of the Yamen of Kaifeng County tomorrow."
Zhao Tieniu arched his hand at Gao Yu, and then glanced at Wu Dalang with a complicated look, and then walked away with his idle men.
Wu Dalang didn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes in his previous life, but the memories of this life told him that the trouble of the martial arts family on Panlou Street was getting bigger and bigger now!
Of course, "Gao Taiwei" is not good, and Zhao Tieniu and Chen Youwen of the Hanlin Painting Institute may have predators behind them, plus a certain big mink in the palace (the eunuch's hat is called mink, so the big mink also refers to the big eunuch), they can all get together a table of mahjong.
"Thank you to the tall officials for their help, and Xiao Diwu Haowen is grateful."
Wu Dalang was still thinking about it, but his younger brother Wu Haowen opened his mouth to thank him first.
"Thank you, official." Wu Haogu also hurriedly surrendered his hand.
"Hehe, I can't see that scoundrel arrogant." Gao Yuhun waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "I just saw that Da Lang did a good job, I really like it, I am afraid that this kind of painting skill is the true inheritance of the Huang family's wealth, I don't know if I can paint a picture for the next?" ”
Wu Haogu hurriedly said: "Thank you to the tall officials for their love, and three days later, Xiao Di will send the scroll to the house." ”
Gao Yu smiled: "No need, I'll take it myself." ”
"Huang family wealth" is the five generations of the great Shu painter Huang Zhen created the style of painting, because the style is gorgeous, finely outlined, and the color is strong, which is very suitable for the rich atmosphere and decorative taste of the court, so it is loved by the Northern Song Dynasty royal family. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, it was the standard for the selection of the merits and disadvantages of the art academy, and for the martial arts brothers who aimed to enter the art academy to practice painting skills, the "Huang family wealth" was all they could capture.
However, the charcoal strip painting that Gao Yu saw was not "Huang Jiafu", but a hyper-realistic sketch of later generations, but it was not completed, so it was mistaken by Gao Yu for Gongbi chalk (powder refers to the manuscript, not necessarily chalk and clay powder). However, Wu Haogu can't take out his charcoal strip sketches to sell now, because the charcoal strip sketches cannot be maintained for a long time without the fixing liquid, and the fixing liquid needs to use alcohol, at least high-purity distilled liquor, which can take some effort......
So he can only use the ultra-realistic painting style on the brush, fortunately, he has practiced the brush in his previous life and this life, and his painting skills are also quite good, plus the skills of this life, it can also be called everyone's handwriting.
