On Bianhe Street, in the house of Pan Xiao'an and Pan Daguan, Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian both came.

When she went out in the morning, Pan Qiaolian walked with Duanwang Zhao Ji, and when she came back, Zhao Ji became Wu Dalang......

Pan Daguan, who was standing at the door and looking at it, waiting for his sister to go home, suddenly felt like he had been beaten with a stick.

What's going on?

Why did Wu Dalang, a stinky boy, hook up with his good sister again?

Where is His Royal Highness King Duan? Even if he didn't personally send Pan Qiaolian home, he should have sent Gao Yu to go! How did you become Wu Dalang? Don't...... Could it be that His Royal Highness King Duan knows about Wu Dalang and Pan Qiaolian's affair?

Is there going to be no uncle in his country?

Thinking of this, Pan Xiao'an even had the mind to draw his sword and hack Wu Haogu to death. But the mind is the mind, and it is still not good to hack the girl's lover to death in public.

Moreover, the competition for the queen's throne is not as easy as this, and there are too many factors involved. For example, the meaning of the official family, the meaning of the Queen Mother, and the meaning of the Prime Minister...... If the Empress Dowager Xiang and the official family have a candidate in their hearts, and it is not Pan Qiaolian's turn to be the queen, then Wu Haogu is also a good choice for his sister.

"Dalang, eighteen, I'll wait for you to come back."

Pan Xiao'an looked around, but didn't see anyone who shouldn't have appeared, so he hurriedly invited Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian into his house, and brought them all the way into the inner hall.

"There are a lot of rights and wrongs in the mansion, you two...... In the future, it is better to see each other less, so as to save someone from chewing the root of the tongue. ”

After sitting down in the inner hall, Pan Xiao'an said to Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian with a sincere face.

"Got it," Pan Qiaolian didn't doubt her brother, but just smiled, "The slave will be careful in the future...... Brother Dawu, you have to be careful in the future. ”

"That's good, that's good." Pan Xiao'an nodded again and again, and her brows furrowed slightly. What is my sister called Wu Dalang to be careful? Is it hard to be careful with yourself?

Wu Haogu knew that Pan Qiaolian was still eating Mo Niangzi's vinegar, and her words were to tell herself to stay away from Mo Niangzi, who was now the woman of Duan Wang Zhao Ji!

However, it was precisely because Mo Niangzi seemed to be returning to the king that Pan Qiaolian did not continue to be jealous...... Besides, Wu Haogu just painted a picture for Mo Niangzi, and didn't do anything else.

Pan Qiaolian said in her heart: I shouldn't have done it...... But it doesn't matter if there is a bottom, that woman falls into the hands of King Duan and will not spit it out again.

"Got it, got it." Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "I'm going to have to be busy for a while...... These days, there are too many people who come to the painting house to order paintings, and the deposit alone has collected more than 50,000 yuan, and I am afraid that it will take several months to finish the painting.

In addition, I had to prepare for the painting and calligraphy firm...... The guild hall outside the city and the fidelity painting studio inside the city must be built as soon as possible. It's best to open before the end of the Oiran Dabi, so that you can put all the twenty paintings that Duanwang and I painted in for a while.

As long as you can make a sign, then the business below will be easy to do. ”

Wu Haogu slowly talked about his business plan, but in fact, it was not a plan, but some ideas to cross the river by feeling the stones.

He was a good painter, but not a business manager. I don't have much experience in how to set up and manage a business or company, so I have to figure it out.

Fortunately, he picked an industry that he was very familiar with and that was highly profitable. In this way, even if the management is more extensive, the profit is still guaranteed.

If he recklessly enters some low-profit industries, such as opening a restaurant, with his business level, most of them will lose all his money.

Pan Qiaolian was very interested when she listened, obviously she didn't think that she might become the queen's mother, but was wholeheartedly ready to be a carefree proprietress.

And Pan Xiao'an didn't have the heart to listen to this at all, his attention was on his sister, and when he saw his sister's expression, he was a little anxious.

These days, he has actually made money from Duanwangfu and Liu Youfang. I know that His Royal Highness King Duan and his sister get along quite happily. Although I don't see any love between men and women, at least two people can talk and play together.

That's already it...... After all, other contenders for the queen's throne, His Royal Highness King Duan has never even seen a portrait!

Pan Qiaolian's lead is still quite large.

The business matter was almost discussed, Pan Xiao'an was about to set up a banquet at home to entertain Wu Haogu, when the female envoy outside the door suddenly came to report, "There is a Wu family coming to ask to see outside the door." ”

Wu Haogu was stunned and hurriedly stood up.

He has been waiting for the announcement in the palace for the past few days, and now there are people at home, could it be that the official family in the palace and the queen mother want to draw pictures by themselves?

After a while, a person walked in from outside the door, it was Wu Haowen, the younger brother of Wu Haogu. He didn't send Pan Qiaolian home with his brother, but went back to the house in First Sweet Water Lane first.

"Big brother, hurry up and go home."

"What's wrong? What's going on at home? ”

"Someone from the palace has come, it's Liang Daguan of the Hanlin Painting Academy, and he has an order for you to return home immediately."

Liang Daguan is Liang Shicheng, who was originally appointed as the official of the Hanlin Calligraphy and Art Bureau, and after Liu Ai went to the Western Army as a horseman, he was appointed as the official of the Painting Academy.

This person will be ranked among the six thieves in the future, and he is also known as the illegitimate son of Su Dongpo, and he also won the Jinshi as a lieutenant, but he is a big bull!

When Wu Haogu was inspecting to make friends with Liang Shicheng, Pan Xiao'an was already laughing and saying hello to him.

"Congratulations, Dalang, it seems that in a few days, you will no longer be clothy."

Pan Qiaolian was even more overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Brother Dawu, it's finally here, let's go back quickly...... If you get the painting title, you will call Zhang Erlang (Zhang Xizai) to report it. ”

"Okay, okay," Wu Haogu took a breath, arched his hand at Pan Daguanren, and said with a smile, "Eleventh brother, then Haogu will leave first." ”

……

Liang Shicheng is also an acquaintance of Wu Chengzhi and Wu Haogu's father and son, because the main business of the martial arts painting studio is actually calligraphy and painting - not only paintings, but also calligraphy works. And Liang Shicheng was in charge of the Hanlin Calligraphy Bureau before, and was responsible for the collection, production and management of calligraphy works in the palace, and he also purchased goods from the samurai, and he also had a share of the last return turmoil.

However, at that time, he was acting on orders, and he didn't come out much, so he couldn't talk about a grudge with the samurai.

When Wu Haogu followed his younger brother Wu Haowen and hurriedly returned to the house in the first sweetwater lane, Liang Shicheng, who was wearing a green official robe, had a white face and bearded, and looked polite, was drinking tea and talking with Wu Chengyi in the hall.

"Da Lang, come and meet Liang Daguan."

Seeing his son come in, Wu Chengzhi hurriedly beckoned Wu Dalang to step forward.

"I've seen Liang Daguan."

Wu Haogu stepped forward and saluted, not kowtowing, but just arching his hand and bending down - this is the standard etiquette of the Song Dynasty commoners and officials, kowtow or something...... It is a salutation that is only done when you confess your sins and plead.

"Don't be polite, let's take the order first."

Liang Shicheng smiled all over his face, looking very polite, and his voice was extremely gentle, without the appearance of a "big traitor".

As he spoke, Liang Shicheng stood up and took out a jute edict. The "Wang Yan" of the Song Dynasty, that is, the so-called holy decree of the people, is divided into: system, edict, edict, edict, decree, book, edict, decree, etc., each representing a different concept.

Among them, the edict and the edict refer to the ordinary documents that officials accept gifts, which are generally written on jute paper. Among them, officials who bestow more than five grades are called edicts, and those below five grades are called edicts.

In addition, contrary to what later generations imagined, there was no need to bow down to receive the edict in the Song Dynasty. The bowing ceremony was quite grand in the Song Dynasty, not in the later Qing Dynasty, and the officials and people were half short at every turn.

In the Song Dynasty, only "Xuan Ma" needed to kneel to receive the book (not the edict), and the meaning of "Xuan Ma" read the book written on white linen paper. According to the etiquette system of the Song Dynasty, since the concubine, the crown prince, the prince, the princess, the prime minister, the privy council, and the festival degree envoy and the system, with white linen paper book!

So Wu Haogu is not qualified to kneel!

In addition, the books made at the time of "Xuanma" were drafted by the Hanlin scholars themselves. The edict is a "sea word", that is, a ready-made precept, which can be used by writing a name, and everyone is the same.

And today, Liang Shicheng brought an edict to Wu Haogu, which is a "sea word", and the content is that Wu Haogu is to be edicted to be the chief of the Hanlin Painting Academy!

That's right, it's not the painting that is called, but the edict that is straight, which is the dispatch that Chen Youwen served as before. Waiting for the edict is an abbreviation, and the official title is to be edicted straight.

Wu Haogu was a little dumbfounded at this time.

Because the edict is only a big official, not an official, and it is not as easy to get an official as a painting, according to the regulations, you must have no fault for ten years before you can become an official.

Of course, that's not to say it's bad.

In fact, all the people in the Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting Company (except for Wu Haogu) are willing to wait for the edict to be straight and long, rather than to do painting.

Because the purpose of painting is an empty name, without any real power. And the chief of the edict is the number three person in the Hanlin Painting Academy, and the two officials are above. And it is also the head of the Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting Company, and all the merchants in the calligraphy and painting store have to wait for the edict to grow. Otherwise, not only did the business in the palace not have to be done, but the chief of the edict could also use the position of the head of the calligraphy and painting line to rectify the merchants, such as issuing unfavorable appraisal documents, such as buying the treasures of the merchants, and so on.

Whoever wants to have this dispatch does not have to paint if he has a pure income of 10,000 yuan a year (after removing the filial piety to the upper peak).

However, this dispatch is not easy to obtain, the painting master is certain, and generally has to work in the Hanlin Painting Academy for many years to improve his qualifications, and he has to take out a large amount of filial piety to make up for this shortage.

Wu Hao Guyi never entered the Hanlin Painting Academy; The second didn't pay filial piety, and he also married Liu Youfang, why did he get such a fat shortage as Zhao Zhichang?

This is the ...... It can't be Liu Youfang again, right?

This old guy is endless!
