The morning was bright, and Kaifeng Mansion ushered in a new day.

After mortgaging the martial arts painting and lending 30,000 yuan, Wu Dalang was in a particularly happy mood. With this money, Wu Chengzhi, who had suffered in the Kaifeng Mansion prison for many days, could also regain his freedom, and Wanjiapu could also refund all of it. And after returning the eight-paper calligraphy and paintings sold to the palace and Wan Da officials, there will be more than 4,000 more.

The martial artist's calligraphy and painting official tooth card can also be pawned later - with this card, Wu Haogu can enter the Donghua Gate of the palace to contract by the Department of Affairs, so yesterday did not immediately pawn Pan Qiaolian.

In other words, just the proceeds from pawning the shop and the identity card, after the two lawsuits are settled, you can still pay an extra 14,500 yuan!

For ordinary people, this is a huge amount of money!

Moreover, the eight-paper calligraphy and paintings returned to the hand are also fine...... Whether it's true or not, thirty or forty thousand yuan is always worth it.

In addition, Wu Haogu still has a transfer worth 29,000 yuan in his hands, which is the proceeds from the sale of "Drunken Arhat" last time.

After adding up several sums of money, the money that can finally fall into your hands is as much as 70,000 or 80,000!

However, what made Wu Haogu most happy was not the amount of money, but the fact that "Eighty-Seven Immortal Pictures" had been settled.

As long as the first day of April can win Mi Youren in the Panjiayuan gambling battle, he will be able to get a copy of the "Eighty-Seven Immortals" from Mi Fu, so that he can make a fake painting to dedicate to Liu Youfang.

It would be better if you could get a silk book from Mi Fu's hands, and you can directly do it old. Anyway, Liu Youfang, Liu Ai's father and son's eyesight is not particularly thief, and most of them have to let Mi Fu palm. Unless the rice wants to supply the millet, it can't leak the soup.

At least for the time being......

As for the future, as long as you can hug Brother Zhao Ji's golden dinosaur leg along Brother Gao Yu's golden thigh, it will be stable for more than 20 years.

"Wu Daguan, there is Donghua Gate in front."

The voice of a fat old man named Pan An (not the one who looks like Pan An, he is the steward of the Pan family's slave, so he follows the master's surname Pan) sounded in Wu Haogu's ears.

The Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace Ouchi is almost here.

Wu Haogu hurriedly pulled the reins, and the donkey under his crotch was very docile and obedient, and immediately stood still.

He raised his head and looked forward, and what he saw was the vermilion city wall and the tall and majestic city gate tower.

There is the east gate where the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty stayed, called the Donghua Gate, and the Xihua Gate is far away, and in the middle of the east and west gates is a road that divides the palace into two. To the south of the road is where the officials and ministers of the court are located, and to the north is the harem of the inner court.

This Donghua Gate is located between the inner palace and the outer court, and is close to Maqian Street and Panlou Street, so it has become a passage for various daily necessities and offerings to enter the palace.

And the palace province, the inner service province, as well as the imperial medicine institute under the jurisdiction of the ** service province, the contract certificate department and the government office of the Guoxin Office, are all located in the Donghua Gate.

Wu Haogu's destination today is the contract basis in Donghua Gate.

"Steward Pan," Wu Haogu got off the donkey's back and arched his hand at the fat old man who was wearing a brocade robe and had a contented smile on his face, "I'm sorry to wait here for a while, and then I will go to see the nobleman of the contract with you." ”

Wu Haogu can enter the Donghua Gate with the calligraphy and painting official tooth body card, and stop at the Zuo Chengtian Xiang Fu Gate. However, Pan An, the steward of the Pan family, as well as the eight donkey carts that arrived with Pan An, as well as Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, who helped Wu Haogu escort the cart together, were not allowed to enter Donghua Gate.

"Go ahead, don't worry." Pan An also got off the back of the donkey, stretched his legs and feet and said to Wu Haogu, "The rules in the palace are big, you have to take your time, but fortunately, the little old man is slow and can always wait." ”

"Thank you."

Wu Haogu said to his two good brothers again, "Third brother, Xiaoyi, you are also guarding here." ”

"Da Lang, don't worry, nothing will happen."

"yes, it's going to be fine."

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are right, this is the gate of the palace, even if the elite of the forbidden army standing guard are all shelf, no one dares to commit murder and robbery here.

After some instructions, Wu Haogu strode towards Donghua Gate.

……

In the main hall of the Department of Justice, a clerk who managed the clerk and ran errands walked in, saluted Liu Youfang, who was holding a bowl of tea, and reported: "The deputy capital knows, the martial arts of the martial arts painting house has arrived." ”

There are two supervisors in the contract department, both of whom are called the supervisor of the contract by the department, and they serve as eunuchs in the province who are in charge of the high grade. Among them, Liu Youfang, the deputy governor of the province, is the main one, and all the claims and purchases of valuable items must be inspected by him before they can be put into storage.

"Tell him to wait."

Liu Youfang commanded, and the priest sang a song and turned his head away.

And Chen Youwen, who was standing next to Liu Youfang, respectfully placed the seven scrolls on the bookcase.

"The deputy knows that he wants to return the seven pieces of calligraphy and painting to the martial arts, and the small bottom has been done."

Liu Youfang put down the tea bowl, stretched out his very well-maintained right hand to pick up one of the scrolls, and slowly unfolded it.

"Young Master Yang's "Immortal Living Method" ......" Liu Youfang sneered, "It's just right, whose handwriting is it?" ”

Wu Chengzhi's "Immortal Living Method" sent to the palace was originally a temporary book, but it was from the hands of famous artists in the early Song Dynasty.

And the book "Immortal Living Method" that Liu Youfang held in his hand had just been made, and it was a fake among fakes.

But it's not bad, it's a five-six-point truth. Take it to the Panlou market to sell, there are always hundreds or thousands of yuan.

"It was made by the dog Chen Bao."

Chen Youwen replied with a smile on his face, but he was bleeding and crying in his heart.

The money for the volume of "Drunken Arhat" that Liu Youfang photographed in Su's shop last time was paid by him, and it was 50,000 yuan!

There were 20,000 more than the original plan, but Liu Youfang was unwilling to bear an extra 20,000 favors, so he gave Chen Youwen the seven pieces of calligraphy and painting that were supposed to be returned to the martial arts, and asked him to make seven fakes to make up the number.

Of course, these seven fakes are not made casually, and they must be able to explain their faces, and they can't be too excessive. At the same time, you can't do it too seriously, otherwise it will be too cheap for the samurai.

Therefore, Chen Youwen and his two sons Chen Zhen and Chen Bao made seven imitations according to the value of about 1,000 yuan.

"Did you know that Wu Haogu was coming today?" Liu Youfang unfolded another picture scroll and asked Chen Youwen while looking at it.

"I know," Chen Youwen gritted his teeth, "The Pan family's gold and silver shop asked someone to give Xiao Di a message last night, saying that it was a bet of 50,000 yuan for the martial arts shop!" ”

"Haha," Liu Youfang smiled, "The old man has bet at most 25,000, right?" ”

"It's just 15,000 and that......'s more," Chen Youwen said, "It must be the little lady of the Pan family, Pi Pan Qiaolian, who made it bad, and I heard that she had an adulterous affair with Wu Haogu." ”

"Adultery?" Liu Youfang laughed, "The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, and the woman is still widowed, and she still talks about adultery?" ”

If you marry your father for the first time and marry yourself again, then Pan Qiaolian is going to marry Wu Haogu, and it is okay in terms of etiquette, but the Pan family will definitely beat the mandarin ducks.

"Little Lady Pan is here to help, you don't have to think about anything." Liu Youfang then said, "If Wu Dalang is a reading seed, the Pan family may marry the girl to him, but he is just an unpopular painter." ”

The difference between the martial arts family and the Pan family is not completely insurmountable, as long as Wu Haogu can roll his name outside the Donghua Gate, he can marry Pan Qiaolian in a sedan chair eight times, and he can also get a rich dowry.

This "only reading is high" in the Great Song Dynasty, but it's not just talking!

It's a pity that Wu Haogu is not the material for reading.

"Little Bottom understands." Chen Youwen said respectfully, "Xiaodi is going to pay 60,000 yuan to buy the martial arts painting house." ”

Liu Youfang nodded and said, "That's right...... After all, the martial family is the third or fourth generation of the Pan family's west four rooms (Pan Xiao'an's line), and in the past twenty or thirty years, it has always been the Pan family's west four rooms that have been protecting the Wu family. We have rectified the martial arts, and we must always give an explanation to the four rooms of the Pan family. ”

"Little Bottom knows."

Liu Youfang asked again: "Can you find the people who sold "Drunken Arhat" last time?" ”

"No," Chen Youwen replied, "there are no suspicious people over there in the Boundary Body Alley who have exchanged large sums of money. ”

"Oh, got it." Liu Youfang waved his hand, "Just go and send these pieces of calligraphy and paintings to the surnamed Wu...... Is the diagram to be returned to the samurai family ready? ”

"Ready."

"How many pieces of paper?"

"A piece of paper."

"A piece of paper? What is it? ”

"It's "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map"."
