"Don't go! Don't go! I won't go to ......."

Gao Yu met a "Pan Xiaolang" who was furious at Pan Daguan's house. He was politely invited in by Pan Xiao'an, but was almost kicked out by Pan Qiaolian.

"Eighteen, that's His Royal Highness King Duan......"

Pan Xiao'an persuaded him on the side, but Pan Qiaolian didn't appreciate it at all, snorted with a pretty face, and said, "What does he have to do with King Duan and slave?" The slave has already promised the Zhao family, is it possible that there will be a second time? Besides, the slave already has a big martial brother...... What about Brother Dawu? Why hasn't he come to look for slaves? No one came, not even a letter! ”

Hearing Pan Qiaolian's words, Gao Yu thought to himself: It seems that Pan Xiao'an has cut off the contact between Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian...... He wants to be the uncle of the country.

But this is not wishful thinking, after all, for King Duan, the concubine has to be found from the Jiangmen Xungui, and Pan Qiaolian is at least familiar, a little stronger than anyone else who has never seen it, right? So as long as Duanwang Zhao Ji thinks it's okay, most of the Queen Mother Xiang won't "beat the mandarin ducks", after all, the Queen Mother and the Pan family are both famous fellow villagers, Pan Qiaolian may really have a chance to be the queen!

Pan Xiao'an smiled and said, "Eighteen, Wu Dalang is busy now...... His father bought and sold dozens of paintings for him a few days ago, and he collected 50,000 yuan for the deposit alone.

How can you tell him to have time to find you? You're playful again, and it's a whole day to stick to him, when will those paintings be finished?

In addition, there is something to find him in the palace, and he can become an official at any time after the matter is done. ”

was said by her brother, Pan Qiaolian was in a slightly better mood.

"No, the slave is going to find Brother Dawu tomorrow!" She said, "Duanwang's side...... I'll talk about that later. ”

What does it mean to say it later?

Gao Yu glanced at Pan Xiao'an with some embarrassment.

"Eighteen, that's ...... Isn't that right? ”

"What's wrong?" Pan Qiaolian said, "It's just snowing, it's so cold, how can you ride a horse?" It's better to wait for the weather to be warmer the day after tomorrow, and then go horseback riding in Panjiayuan. ”

That's a reason too.

Actually, Zhao Ji didn't really want to find Pan Qiaolian to ride a horse, but just found a reason to ask her to be a model.

Why do you keep looking for her?

Because Zhao Ji can only paint Pan Qiaolian and Lu Zhishen, as well as the monks of the Roast Pig Academy...... Where is the human body so easy to draw? Without tens of thousands of sketches to lay the foundation, and without reading the textbook "Painting Human Body Structure" in later generations, it is impossible for Zhao Ji to master the complex human body painting skills in such a short time.

It was only through repeated copying that he mastered the basic body characteristics of Pan Qiaolian, Gao Yu, Lu Zhishen and the monks of the Roast Pig Academy, and he could only draw them with specific movements and gestures.

Now Lu Zhishen has gone to Wutai Mountain, a monk of the Roast Pig Academy...... Zhao Ji didn't know that there was such a person, so Zhao Ji only had two available models, Gao Yu and Pan Qiaolian.

And "shirtless Gao Yu" Zhao Ji is a little unappetizing in painting, so I want to find a more eye-catching Pan Qiaolian to adjust it.

As for the relationship between men and women, it can't be said that there is no at all, but he still prefers the graceful Sister Chunlan. But just as Gao Yu thought, if the Queen Mother now asks him to choose one of the noble daughters of the Jiangmen as his wife, the winner of the jackpot must be Pan Qiaolian!

"Okay then," Gao Yu said with a smile, "It's really too cold tomorrow, so it's better to make an appointment in Panjiayuan the day after tomorrow." ”

Hearing Gao Yu say this, Pan Xiao'an had no choice but to agree.

"No, if the slave doesn't go alone, he has to call Brother Dawu." Pan Qiaolian immediately had to enter the foot.

Pan Xiao'an's face changed slightly, now King Duan seems to be a little fond of his sister, if he calls Shangwu Haogu at this time, what will His Royal Highness King Duan think?

"Uh...... All right! ”

I was very reluctant in my heart, but I still agreed.

He knows his sister's temper, but he can't screw her face to face, it's best to agree verbally, as if he is bad from the bottom.

"I'll send someone to find Wu Haogu immediately." Pan Xiao'an said, "Eighteen, is this good? ”

"Let the vial go with you." Pan Qiaolian said.

"Okay, that's it!"

Seeing Pan Xiao'an agree, Gao Yu was also relieved. As long as His Royal Highness Duanwang knows that Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian have gotten together, most of them will put Pan Qiaolian into a separate book in their hearts.

But what happened next was beyond Gao Yu's expectations...... Wu Haogu is not in the city of Kaifeng Mansion, and he will not return to the city tonight.

He's going to spend the night in the Lotus Nunnery of the Mo Lady!

Because his painting of "Ink Lady Dance" is a very detailed work, and it is still an "eight-foot folio" painting.

THE SO-CALLED "EIGHT-FOOT FOLIO" IS ONE OF THE LARGER OF THE COMMON SIZES IN CHINESE PAINTING, WHICH IS ALMOST 248CM×61CM WHEN CONVERTED INTO THE METRIC SIZE OF LATER GENERATIONS.

Because the length of the scroll exceeds 2 meters in later generations, it is enough to draw a life-size ink lady on it.

The reason why I want to paint such a big ink lady is mainly because this painting should be hung in the middle floor of Fengle Building for people to visit and evaluate, if it is too small, people who watch from a distance will not be able to see it.

However, if the painting is too large, it will take a lot of time, and Wu Haogu has wasted a lot of time to let Mo Niangzi pose in various shapes, so this painting will not be finished tonight no matter what.

……

It was getting dark, and the paintings in the Lotus Nunnery came to an end.

Mo Niangzi asked her female envoy to prepare a banquet, and entertained Wu Haogu and Mi Youren in the nunnery.

At the dinner table, Wu Haogu suddenly asked what was the Persian song that Mo Niangzi sang during the daytime dance today? The song sounds very sad at first, as if it is about a heartbreaking past.

"That's the Book of the King," Mo Niangzi said, "it's a poem from Persia, the hometown of the slave ancestors, and the opening paragraph is sung in Chinese like this......"

As she spoke, she began to sing again: "We are closely related to Persia, and we are willing to fight to the death for Persia." In order to defend the king, his children and grandchildren, and to protect his wife and children, everyone is willing to give his life and never give up his motherland to others. Warrior, if you give your life with honor, it is better than a man who endures humiliation and stoops to do ......"

"This is the ......" Wu Haogu does not know the history of Iran, and does not know the background in which this poem in the "Book of Kings" was born.

This poem first appeared before the fall of Persia, about the early years of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth, and it is about the deeds of Persian warriors who resisted the enemy of Great Eclipse. Later, this poem was included in the Book of Kings by the poets of Samanid Persia, who had been revived for a time. ”

I see, it's a poem against the Arabs and perhaps the Celestial Religion......

Wu Haogu glanced at the Mo Niangzi whose ancestors had escaped from Persia, and sighed in his heart. Her ancestors fled from Persia to Middle-earth, presumably with some status and worth, and were not willing to be slaves to the country. And he also passed on the poems in the "Book of Kings" to future generations, probably hoping that they would one day liberate the Persian motherland, right?

It's a pity that the sky always doesn't go according to people's expectations, and Persia has not really recovered until the 21st century...... Ancient Persia no longer exists!

Compared with the Persians, China, which has died in the world, is relatively lucky.

Thinking of the common fate of the Persian and Chinese people and the different endings, Wu Haogu's mood was a little depressed.

Although Huaxia finally came out of the shadow of the two worlds, it lost too much because of these two heavenly tilts.

If these two heavenly tilts, especially the first Great Song Dynasty tilt, do not happen, what kind of development and progress China will become, it is really hard to comment!

"Mo Niangzi," Mi Youren suddenly asked at this time, "When did your ancestors come to China?" ”

"My ancestors first came to China in the middle of the Tang Dynasty and settled in Guangzhou." Mo Niangzi frowned and said, "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, I heard that Persia was revived and returned to my homeland again, but it's a pity that I ...... Time has passed, and this Persia is no longer another Persia. Therefore, in the fifth generation, the family moved to China and North Korea. ”

The revival of Persia referred to by Mo Niangzi refers to the rise of the Samanid Dynasty, which was related to the Sassanid Empire by blood, but this dynasty only restored the territory of the Persians, not the beliefs and ideas of the Persians...... So after living in China for more than 100 years, the Mohists (Manichaeans), who had retained their traditional Persian culture and religion, could not find a sense of belonging there, so they went into exile again and returned to China.

"China and Persia are thousands of miles apart, so it's very convenient for you to come and go." Mi Youren asked again.

"My ancestors were maritime merchants," Mo Niangzi said, "how is it inconvenient?" ”

"Maritime?" Wu Haogu looked at Mo Niangzi, "Then how do you ...... How did you become the Ji family's housekeeper? Was it a shipwreck at home? ”

Mo Niangzi shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I am not afraid of shipwrecks...... The maritime merchants did not have only one boat, but my family was a real Persian, and their religion was different from theirs, so they rejected it, and slowly they couldn't do it anymore. ”

Maritime merchants have high risks and high returns, and a few ships go out and one ship comes back to make money, so maritime merchants have the ability to resist risks.

But the problem is that the Mo Niangzi family is an authentic Persian and a Manichaean "elect family", and it is often more difficult to trade on the sea controlled by the Tianfang Sect than the Ji family, a Han maritime merchant.

Therefore, the Mo family's maritime merchants gradually declined, and they became economically dependent on the Ji family. However, it has not reached the point where she wants her daughter to be a housekeeper, and the identity of Mo Niangzi's housekeeper is actually a cover.

"Religion of faith?" Wu Haogu suddenly thought of "Persian Mingjiao" and asked, "What kind of religion does your family believe?" ”

"It's Zoroastrianism." Mo Niangzi recited a Persian word, which means Zoroastrianism. She's not stupid enough to tell people she's a Manichaean — Manichaeism is a bit out of control right now, and she doesn't know when it's going to cause chaos.

Wu Haogu couldn't understand Persian, but he was sure that the words were not "Mani", so he didn't think about "Persian Mingjiao" anymore. After all, "Persian Mingjiao" is only one of Mr. Jin Yong's.

In the history of the Song Dynasty, the real "Manichaeism" (Mingjiao) uprising was launched by the Han Fang La, and it seems to have nothing to do with the Persians.
