Chapter 150: It's all sycophants (monthly pass over 400 plus more)
"You, you ......"
Mi Youren saw Zhao Ji at this time, of course he knew Duan Wang Zhao Ji, the father and son of the Mi family were the top existences in the calligraphy and painting circle of Kaifeng Mansion, and they were at the same level as the horse Wang Xu, and they were the top relatives, how could they not know Zhao Ji?
However, he was still startled by Zhao Ji who suddenly appeared in front of him, and raised his hand to stutter at Zhao Ji for a while...... Maybe he wasn't surprised at all, Wu Hao Guxin said: Just pretending to be surprised.
"Yuan Hui," Zhao Ji was afraid that the other party would call out his name, so he hurriedly interjected, "I'm Zhao Xiaoyi, don't you remember?" β
"Zhao Xiaoyi? You are Zhao Xiaoyi, a scholar in Kaifeng Mansion!? β
Before Zhao Ji's words fell, Ji Yi and Mi Youren exclaimed at the same time.
Both of them had the same expressions when they saw a big star, so they almost went up to ask for an autograph and a peace...... However, Wu Haogu didn't believe that these two would not know that Zhao Xiaoyi was Duan Wang Zhao Ji.
They're all well-informed!
It seems that you still have to have some acting skills to be an official.
Zhao Ji didn't know that he had met two "good actors", and he was proud in his heart. Especially the impression of Ji Yi is a little better. Because Ji Yi's facial expressions are particularly "cute", he vividly interprets complex expressions such as adoration, fascination and admiration.
What a good officer! Zhao Ji also recognized Ji Yi and thought: In the future, if the heavens fulfill people's wishes, they will be promoted......
By the way, Zhao Ji and Ji Yi had seen each other from a distance before, so it was "normal" that they couldn't recognize each other.
"It turned out to be Brother Xiaoyi, in Kaifeng Su Dalang, your painting is too good, I really like it in Xia, I must ask for a paper today, as for the pen, you make a price, and you will never bargain under it......"
Su Dalang had already come up with a stack of crosses at this time, and his fat face was full of respect, this facial expression was not much worse than Ji Yi.
Another good guy! I don't know if there is an official body? If not, it would be a pity, how could Da Song let such a good person be a civilian...... Zhao Ji looked at the thick stack of intersections, and didn't plan to take it, but he was so proud in his heart! also glanced at Wu Haogu triumphantly, as if to say: See? The market has already given an evaluation!
Another sycophant!
Wu Haogu thought to himself: Can't you have a little backbone? To be a man, you must have a backbone and be upright! How can I make such a friend?
Thinking of this, he asked Ji Yi with a straight face: "Brother Yizhi, Mo Niangzi didn't come?" β
"Mo Niang?" Ji Yi was stunned, "No...... Hasn't she always been in the Lotus Nunnery in the southwest of Jinmingchi in the west of the city? β
The beauty turned out to be in the Lotus Temple!
Zhao Ji immediately remained silent and wrote down the address...... He didn't plan to bring it up again, as the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he couldn't be too frivolous.
After planning to stop, Zhao Ji set his eyes on the two people who had not yet shown anything in the private room, Ma Zhi and Zhang Xizai.
Zhang Xizai was okay, he didn't know the situation, so he put out a Wishing you prosperity, harmless to people and animals. Zhao Ji didn't pay much attention to it, and then he was attracted by the majestic Ma Zhi.
Ma Zhi was also looking at him, glaring, looking very surprised. Of course, he didn't know that Zhao Xiaoyi was Duan Wang Zhao Ji - a popular candidate for the next Great Song Dynasty! And he didn't know about "Kaifeng cloth scholar Zhao Xiaoyi" or something.
In the past few days, he has met with Tong Guan almost every day to talk about the military and politics of the Northern Dynasties, how can he be in the mood to pay attention to such trivial things as literati fighting paintings?
However, looking at the attitude of Ji Yi, Su Dalang, Wu Haogu and others towards this Zhao Xiaoyi, you can guess that this person's identity must be unusual.
"What is this strong man called?" Zhao Ji looked at Ma Zhi and called him a "strong man".
"In Xiamazhi, Hebei people." Ma Zhi saw that Zhao Ji was held by the stars like the moon, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he got up and saluted. However, he did not reveal his true identity, only said that he was Hebei Ma Zhi.
"People from Hebei," Zhao Ji suddenly thought of the increasingly tense relationship between the Liao and Song dynasties, so he asked again, "Where is Hebei?" β
"Hebei East Road, Cheongju."
Qingzhou is the area of Qingxian in Hebei Province in the future, and it is now a very small and narrow state, with the boundary river (that is, the Haihe River) near the Song-Liao border in the north, Cangzhou in the south and east, and Xin'an Army, Bazhou and Hejian Fu in the west.
Because the Yellow River flowed north from Qingzhou to Liao, Qingzhou, which was not particularly strategically prominent, suddenly became a place of great concern to the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
Once there is a police in Cheongju, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be in great trouble.
"Cheongju is stable?" Zhao Ji asked, "Can the north be stable?" β
"Anwen," Ma Zhi said, "Although the northward flow of the Yellow River has harmed Cangzhou and Hejian Province, it is good for Qingzhou. β
"Okay?" Zhao Ji was a little puzzled.
Ma Zhi said with a smile: "Qingzhou has now become the key point of the Song-Liao trade, and the goods transported from the north of the Yellow River to the south have to pass through Qingzhou.
As for the north side...... A certain family is a businessman, and he doesn't know much about the situation. I know that the north is now in trouble, and I can't pull out their palace tent army at all, but some Jingzhou soldiers are talking nonsense. β
"Troubled in the north?" Zhao Ji asked with interest, "What's the trouble?" β
"Divination." Ma Zhidao, "It's those nomadic people on the Mobei grassland, now it's called Blocking, there are four parts in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the North Blockade was reversed seven years ago, and the Khitans have been fighting with them until now, and they haven't been pacified." β
"And that kind of thing?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised.
In this era, the news was blocked, and he, the prince, did not know much about the affairs on the grassland - of course, this was also caused by the neglect of intelligence work by the Great Song Dynasty.
Historically, the Northern Blockade and the Khitan fought for more than ten years, and there was no historical material of the Song Dynasty secretly communicating with the North. And the Song-Jin alliance was completely run by Ma Zhi, a Han man of the Liao State, if it weren't for him, the Great Song Dynasty would probably not know about the Liao-Jin War until the Jurchens swept Yanyun.
"It's true." Ma Zhidao.
He was also a little surprised by the "ignorance of Liao" in the Great Song Dynasty. On the one hand, the Great Song Dynasty had a serious phobia of Liao, and at the same time, it did not know Liao, and it seems that it did not send a large number of fine works to spy on Liao...... If the Great Song Dynasty really wants to restore Yan Pingliao in the future, it must do more detailed work, and it is best to set up a yamen dedicated to spying on foreign intelligence!
Zhao Ji's thinking was not as far-reaching as Ma Zhi, he only knew that this time Da Song could finally raise his eyebrows!
At least I can raise my eyebrows in the northwest once, and it would be nice if I could take advantage of the situation to destroy the western thief......
Just when Zhao Ji was a little confused, Xiao Er's voice sounded outside the door again: "Three guest officers, please ...... here The first private room on the second day of the middle school arrived. β
This time it was Wu Haogu's two brothers Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, as well as the veteran Han Lin Wancheng and his son Lin Chong. Lu Qian and Lu Xiaoyi didn't come, he was entangled in military affairs today, and he couldn't go away.
The father and son of the Lin family are wearing green cloth shirts, which have been washed and are a little white, and the whole body looks very simple, only Lin Chong inserts a plum blossom on his sideburns, which makes him look young and energetic.
The two fathers and sons still looked a little worried, and they were still worried about Lin Chong's wife. Although with the loan provided by Wu Haogu, the small house is finally settled.
But Carpenter Zhang, the head of Zhang Jiaotou who doesn't know any martial arts, still doesn't look down on Lin Chong...... The old man disliked Lin Chong's lack of ability, and was afraid that his daughter would suffer with him.
And when Lin Chong was walking outside to protect Wu Haogu, Yu Baihua, the "embroidered at home" who was known as the first needle of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, had already asked the matchmaker to propose to Zhang Jiaotou, and wanted to marry Zhang Xiaoniang to fill the house!
"Embroidered Yu" can be amazing, the ancestor is the Wei Fu Ya Army silver spear filial piety festival of the fierce general, in the "Zhao Zaili slaughter army" after the refuge in Shi Jingjiao, and later after the Jin, the Han Dynasty, the Zhou and the Great Song Dynasty, although did not get any high-ranking officials, but also the founding era of the Great Song Dynasty generals.
And after the world is peaceful, Yu Jiake is even more remarkable, on the one hand, he has been a small military minister in the forbidden army for generations, and occasionally there are a few small military attachΓ©s of eight or nine grades; On the one hand, he also opened an embroidery workshop and ran a family business!
This ability of "embroidering at home", what can Lin Wancheng and Lin Chong's father and son compare?
Archery ...... It's long outdated!
Zhao Ji was not very interested in Lin Wancheng's father and son, but was attracted by Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, two Taoist priests. Taoism is the state religion of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the ancestors of the Zhao family are also worshiped as the Tianzun of Taoism, that is, Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth. Therefore, the people of the Zhao family, including Zhao Ji, all believe in Taoism, and Zhao Ji likes to be close to Taoist priests.
And Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, the two fake Taoist priests who are mixed in the rivers and lakes, are really a bit of Taoist, and when they saw Zhao Ji who was surrounded by everyone, they immediately knew that this was not an ordinary person.
As for who it is, I don't dare to guess.
The line of fortune-telling is also broad and profound, but Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are only entry-level levels, and they can't really see through numerology. You can only rely on the four words of "watching", "listening", "speaking" and "acting" to mix up a little money.
The so-called look is not to look at the appearance, but to look at the person's expression, demeanor, clothing, shots, etc. Through these, we can figure out each other's minds and guess each other's status.
Listening, in fact, is the same as watching, it is also through observation and analysis, and the approximate identity and inner thoughts of the other party are inferred.
As for speaking and acting, they are all based on watching and listening. Only when you see it right and listen to it correctly can you say that it is a good performance.
And today, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji can see at a glance that Zhao Ji is not simple. Not only is he surrounded by the stars holding the moon, but his temperament and demeanor are elegant and extraordinary, and he is obviously used to being held without a little twist.
In addition, they also saw Gao Yu and several guards of Duanwang's Mansion in the corridor just now...... So you don't need to listen, you can see clearly just by looking.
And after seeing it clearly, it is "speaking" and "acting".
However, it is not easy to say and act well, and if you are not careful, you will say the wrong thing and act badly......
Fortunately, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji both have a bit of experience in the rivers and lakes, and they know that the key to "speaking" is not to talk too much, and the key to "acting" is not to play too much.
They are gods, not actors.
So the two glanced at each other, and then stepped forward to Zhao Ji together, saluted at the same time, respectfully, and fell to the ground......
