Chapter Forty-Nine: Old Fox, It's Not Simple
Liu Youfang's old face turned red and white for a while, because he knew that he would soon become a laughing stock in the Kaifeng Mansion calligraphy and painting shop.
Although he is a nobleman, he is also an old-timer in the calligraphy and painting line of Kaifeng Mansion, and he is a nobleman who can play with Wang Xu, Su Dongpo, Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian, Li Gonglin, etc. Since the Shenzong Dynasty, he has been in charge of calligraphy and painting in the palace, and it can be said that he has been dealing with calligraphy and painting for most of his life.
Needless to say, Mi Fu and Wang Shu belong to his vicious eyesight. The "Eighty-Seven Immortals" hanging in the view of longevity actually saw that it was wrong, but he didn't say it, but set up a bureau to let Mi Fu and Wang Shu look at it together.
In addition to his good eyesight, he can also write and paint himself, and the level of ordinary calligraphers and painters on Panlou Street is far inferior to him.
He often jokes with people: even if he goes out of the palace one day, with his eyesight and calligraphy and painting skills, he can also find food in Kaifeng Mansion.
But now I actually took a big eye and spent 50,000 yuan (the money was finally from Chen Youwen) to buy a fake painting!
Moreover, the person who made this painting was just an unknown child on Panlou Street - of course he now saw that Wu Haogu's "Pan Qiaolian Photo" and "Drunken Arhat" were painted by one person.
If he doesn't have this eyesight, he will be too wasteful!
And losing money is still a small problem, people who can get to his position, money is nothing at all, but losing face is a big deal.
He really capsized in the ditch this time, and what face will he have in the future to say that his eyesight for distinguishing calligraphy and painting is the third in the world?
Without this "third in the world", how can he gain a foothold in the palace?
His position in the palace is actually not very stable. Just look at the characters he usually befriends with, Wang Xu, Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian and others all belong to the old party! Although he himself is not very partisan, after all, he is also a figure who is good friends with the old party, so he is not trusted by today's officials.
The reason why he can still occupy the position of deputy governor of Nei Province and the director of the contract is that he has a reputation for being proficient in calligraphy, painting and literary play, and the official family needs to use him to take care of the palace treasures.
If this reputation is broken, can the official family still use him, a eunuch who is so close to the old party?
"It's me who lost!"
Mi Youren sighed and brought Liu Youfang out of his thoughts, Liu Youfang turned his head to look over, and saw Mi Youren handing an envelope to Wu Haogu with both hands.
"Brother Chongdao's painting skills are more than one step higher than those below, and he is the first person in the world! In the lower willing to bow to the wind, this is a bet, and I hope to laugh at it. ”
Hearing these words, Liu Youfang bowed his head slightly, revealing appreciation.
Mi Fu really has a good son, lost the gambling but did not lose!
If you want to rectify the surname Wu, are you afraid that you won't have a chance in the future? Why be embarrassed in public now? And now that it's embarrassing, you can cure Wu Haogu?
Mi Youren does not lose people, and of course Wu Haogu can't get carried away, otherwise it will be despised.
Moreover, Wu Haogu also knew that Mi Youren would be favored by Gaozong Zhao Gou in the future, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, the official worshiped the squire of the military department and the straight bachelor of the Fuwen Pavilion.
is not a Jinshi background, and if he can climb to such a high position, he must not be a simple character. This kind of person, it is better not to offend as much as possible.
I saw Wu Haogu respectfully take the envelope with both hands, and handed it to Liu Wuji without looking at it, and then took a stack of folded Shuxuan from Liu Wuji, and sent it to Mi Youren, and said with a smile: "This is the "Twenty-four Methods of Boundary Painting and Tower" painted by Hao Gu, which is a little experience of Hao Gu who has studied world painting for more than ten years, so I will send it to Brother Yuan Hui to take a look, and I hope not to refuse." ”
The so-called "Twenty-four Methods of Boundary Painting Towers" is actually a foolish thing, that is, using the perspective techniques of later generations, to draw twenty-four kinds of pavilions and pavilions. If Mi Youren follows the copy, he can indeed gain a lot on the way to boundary painting, but he must understand the true meaning of "Painting Perspective...... There are dozens of cold and summer skills, maybe it can be successful.
Mi Youren is famous for his love of painting, and when he saw Wu Haogu give away his experience in studying world painting, he became a lot more angry.
And he also knows that with the ability of "martial arts photo", it is a matter of time before Wu Haogu is awarded the title of painting and becoming an official. Maybe he can really marry Pan Qiaolian, which is even more powerful.
At that time, everyone will have to work together in the bookstore of the art academy, so it is better to get married than to have a grudge.
At that moment, he smiled and took the stack of familiar Xuan handed over by Wu Haogu, arched his hand and said: "Brother Chongdao's 'martial family photo', Youren also admires it tightly, and he will definitely come to the door to ask for advice another day." ”
Wu Haogu laughed and said, "What do you and my brother talk about? It's just a matter of exchanging ideas. ”
"Da Lang is really good, but our family has lost sight."
Liu Youfang's soft voice also sounded as if it were the occasion, and then looked at his old face, where was there still a trace of unhappiness?
He is an old fox who has been in the palace for decades, and his skill in changing his face is much higher than his attainments in calligraphy and painting.
At this time, Liu Youfang is like an old grandfather who cares for his younger generations, all of whom are kind and pleasant, how can he be a little overwhelmed?
But the more this is the case, the more Wu Haogu has no bottom in his heart.
But on the scene, he can't scold Liu Youfang anymore, he doesn't want to get a bad reputation for being arrogant.
So he also gave a respectful salute and said: "The kid has offended a lot before, and I hope that the deputy will know Haihan, the gamble between the kid and Chen Zhizhao is just a joke, and it shouldn't really be ......."
When Liu Youfang heard this, he waved his hand generously and said, "You don't have to, it's just 30,000 yuan...... spent these 30,000 yuan (not he spent it, it was his lackeys who spent it), and recognized you as a genius, it's worth it, it's worth it!
Da Lang, the master has already taken up his post, and the painting academy is empty and waiting for the edict, so you might as well come and do this edict. ”
"Shisheng" is Chen Youwen's word, which means "Shifa Painting Saint". Hearing Liu Youfang's words, his heart tightened.
Although he is now an official, he has no intention of giving up the position of waiting for Zhaozhi.
Because he is a trick officer, he usually can't get a good position, that is, he goes out for a walk in the name of "clothes messenger" (that is, sending things to the front-line troops), and the scenery is different.
If it is an ordinary edict, it is still rare, but he doesn't care about this edict at all. Not to mention abandoning a pending position...... Without the edict, the edict is naturally gone, and without the edict, his status in the Panlou market is gone.
"The big official (the big official is the honorific title of the eunuch) is wrong to love the underneath, and the temperament is sloppy below, and he should not wait for the edict."
Wu Haogu didn't dare to be Lao Shizi to be the edict, and when he was the edict, he was pinched in his hand by Liu Youfang, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not settle accounts in the future.
And when he became an edict, he was detained in Kaifeng Mansion, and he couldn't go anywhere, and he had to stay up for at least ten years if he wanted to be an official. And now it is the first year of Yuanfu, and in the spring of the following year, the emperor of Zhezong died, and Duan Wang Zhao Ji ascended the throne.
As long as you can follow Gao Yu to climb up to Zhao Ji, as long as you have more than a year to have an official body, and then marry Pan Qiaolian, you will do some big business in Kaifeng Mansion, and you can also find a way out for the great disaster more than 20 years later...... What a wishful thinking?
Wu Haogu's refusal made Chen Youwen angry, but at the same time made Liu Youfang a little embarrassed.
Liu Youfang knows that words like sloppiness are all lies, but in fact, he just doesn't look down on himself as a lieutenant!
In fact, Wu Hao Gu Ruokena bowed his head, and Liu Youfang would be an adult regardless of the villain. How much is tens of thousands of dollars?
Liu Youfang has been in charge of Kaifeng Calligraphy and Painting for decades, and his family property has long been several million (besides, he didn't lose money)...... Money is just a number, and it is the most important thing to get the favor of the official family and the queen mother. If Wu Hao Guken takes refuge, he can go to paint for the nobles in the palace, and with his portraits, he is afraid that he will not be able to coax the official family and the queen mother to be happy?
As long as the official family and the queen mother are happy, it is also a drizzle to let Liu Youfang take 50,000 yuan out.
But Wu Haogu doesn't know how to lift!
I hated it in my heart, but my face was still extremely gentle, Liu Youfang smiled: "If you don't have to wait for the edict, you can still be a title, and you wait for some time, our family will recommend you to paint for the Queen Mother, with your painting skills, the title will definitely be rewarded." ”
Wu Haogu hurriedly saluted when he heard this, and said respectfully: "Then Haogu will thank you for the promotion." ”
Being fooled by him like this, Wu Haogu was also a little embarrassed. He was a painter in his past and present lives, and he had never dealt with old foxes like Liu Youfang, let alone read through his mind.
