I don't know what means Wu used, but he got acquainted with Guo Jing and Liu Wuji in just a few days.

Moreover, this Wu Yong has also read poetry and books, practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not completely unfamiliar with calligraphy and painting. So he also pretended to be a calligraphy and painting merchant from Xuzhou, and came to Yingtianfu for the purpose of purchasing the works of some unknown calligraphers and painters.

But this is not the most seductive place, what makes Guo Jing and Liu Wuji most excited is that Wu Yong told them: There is a woman in Xuzhou who wants to sell a few of Su Dongpo's real calligraphy!

What a great thing!

Su Dongpo is the same as Mi Fu, Cai Jing, Huang Tingjian of the world's calligraphy and painting! And he is also recognized as the most talented of the four, so his calligraphy and paintings have always been quite expensive.

In addition, Su Dongpo has now been relegated to Danzhou. Danzhou is far away on Hainan Island, and it was a wild land in the Northern Song Dynasty, and degrading it was almost the same as a death sentence. Long distances, unsuitable water and soil, and all kinds of plagues and diseases are all life-threatening. Besides, Su Dongpo is 63 years old this year......

This time, most of them will die in Qiongya!

As soon as Su Dongpo died, his calligraphy and painting works would be out of the way, and they would be fried immediately.

So after hearing the news, Guo Jing immediately sent Liu Wuji to find Wu Haogu.

After Wu Haogu asked about the situation, he immediately called Lin Chong, followed Liu Wuji out of the post house, and in the private room of a restaurant not far from the post house, he saw Guo Jing and Wu Zhiwu Daguan (that is, Wu Yong) who were drinking and eating.

As soon as Wu Haogu entered the door, Guo Jing asked him: "Da Lang, have you ever heard of a horn trick named Ma Panpan?" ”

"Ma Panpan?" Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Is it Ma Panpan from Xuzhou?" ”

"That's her!" Wu Yong smiled, glanced at Lin Chong, who was following Wu Haogu, and arched his hand, "Under Wu Zhi, I don't know the name of this good man?" ”

"In Xia Lin Chong." Lin Chong also arched his hand and said the name, but did not mention the forbidden army.

In his opinion, it was a shame for a military attache to make a small amount of money as a bodyguard for a businessman.

If it weren't for the sake of buying a house and begging for a lady, he wouldn't have gone this way!

"Brother Lin, can you wait outside for a while?" Wu Haogu said politely to Lin Chong.

"Okay." Lin Chong took a breath, then arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the seat.

He is now a bodyguard, so naturally he can't listen to his employer when he talks about business, so he has to stand guard outside the door......

What a useless place for heroes!

Wu Haogu didn't have the heart to think about the "hero" at this time, he had been hooked by the bait thrown by Wu Yong.

Ma Panpan, who Guo Jing said just now, is also a celebrity in the calligraphy and painting industry. She was originally a horn trick, and she was originally the head of the upper hall in Xuzhou (the meaning of the famous trick), but it was not the current head of the upper hall, but more than ten years and nearly twenty years ago, when Su Dongpo knew Xuzhou, the head of the upper hall.

People in the calligraphy and painting shop and the scholar's circle know that this beautiful artist has been in love with Su Dongpo for two years (it is also possible to give Su Dongpo a guarantee), and she can also imitate Su Dongpo's words - in the eyes of laymen, she is a big talented woman.

However, from the perspective of an insider like Wu Haogu, she must have a real handwriting gift from Su Dongpo in her hand!

If you don't copy it according to the calligraphy, it's strange that you can imitate it!

"Is it Ma Panpan who wants to make a copy?"

There were rumors in the scholar's circle that after Su Dongpo went to Huzhou to be an official, Ma Panpan died not long after because of a similar illness.

But Wu Haogu knew that this was nonsense, she and Su Dongpo really had a deep relationship, and they went to Huzhou together, what kind of lovesickness did they have? And a "heaven and earth" lady can actually hurt lovesickness, which is also disrespectful, right?

According to the rumors in the calligraphy and painting shop, this Ma Panpan is actually living in seclusion in Xuzhou City. Because from time to time there are high imitations of Su Dongpo's calligraphy works, from Xuzhou to Kaifeng Mansion.

Wu Yong said with a smile: "It's this Ma Panpan who wants to make a copy." He paused, "But she wants more than just money...... Otherwise, I would have smashed the pot and sold the iron and bought it. ”

Wu Haogu nodded, this explanation is reasonable.

Su Dongpo's calligraphy is a treasure with no market, and the prospect of appreciation is bright, so a fool won't take it immediately.

"What does she want?"

"Draw!" Wu Yong looked at Wu Haogu, "A painting that can help her adopted daughter become famous in Kaifeng Mansion." ”

This is the ...... It's a bit weird!

Of course, Wu Haogu has a way to help Ma Panpan's adopted daughter (there are many women who change careers to be bustards after retiring) to become famous in Kaifeng Mansion...... As long as her adopted daughter is beautiful enough.

However, this condition seems to be tailor-made for Wu Haogu, which is too coincidental, right?

The experience of this life calligraphy and painting antique shop tells Wu Haogu: no coincidence is not a game!

All scams are coincidental pieces.

But what is the other side plotting?

Cheating money?

He is not a very good "good thing", and he is also the number one person in the Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting Shop, where is it so easy to deceive? If you can really blind yourself, then this letter is also seven or eight points true.

Could it be that this Ma Panpan knew his reputation and specially sent Wu Zhi Wu to find it?

If so, you can go to Xuzhou, if you can get a paper of Su Dongpo's real pen copy, and wait for Lao Su to hang up, the price will have to rise several times!

Moreover, Su Dongpo can't live for long, he seems to have died of illness on the way back from the north in the first year of the founding of the Yasukuni Dynasty. From now, that is, two or three years.

Wu Haogu thought about it, but he was still not sure.

Guo Jing on the side was moved, and said to Wu Haogu: "Dalang, it's just Xuzhou, it's also a way, and it doesn't hurt to run a trip." ”

His words were right. If Wu Yong wanted Wu Haogu to go to Yunzhou, not to mention Su Dongpo's words, he would not go even if it was Wang Xizhi's words.

But Xuzhou is a big city, but it is not a place where there is no king's law, as long as you are careful, it should be fine.

However, Wu Haogu still wants to test Wu Zhi (Wu Yong).

"Wu Daguan, Liu Xiaoyi told me, you want to buy some unpopular calligraphy and paintings, right?"

"Exactly." Wu Yong said with a smile, "Xuzhou is not as good as Kaifeng Mansion, things are too good but not easy to sell, just worse." ”

"So, when will Wu Daguan see the goods?" Wu Haogu asked, "How do you settle the bill?" ”

After listening to Wu Haogu's question, Wu Yong was also a little embarrassed. He is only a rough reader of calligraphy and painting, not really knowledgeable. If you go to the post house to see calligraphy and painting, it is easy to goof.

In addition, Wu Haogu obviously had to come up with some money before he believed that he was a real calligraphy and painting merchant.

If you can't come up with the money, and you don't know much about calligraphy and painting, I'm afraid this game will be broken.

However, this problem is still difficult for Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong, he smiled and said: "The business in the lower part is small, and the place in Xuzhou is also poor, and there are not so many references, even the calligraphy and painting shop also uses silver collar to settle the bill." However, when I was walking down, I didn't have enough silver collar with me, so I had to go back to Xuzhou......"

That's right, it's not a nationwide banknote. Moreover, the trading of Xuzhou calligraphy and painting shop is definitely not as good as that of Kaifeng calligraphy and painting shop, which is mainly based on low-cost calligraphy and painting, and it is enough to use silver collars.

And the silver collar is inconvenient to carry, and no one can go out with tens of thousands of taels of silver without anything.

"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Hao Gu said, "I also want to stay in Yingtianfu, why don't you last for ten days." ”

"It's a deal."

Wu Yong was afraid that if he said too much, he would lose it, so he left the restaurant under the pretext of making an appointment with someone, returned to his residence, and went to report to Song Jiang.

"Strategist, this surnamed Wu is going to test us."

Song Jiang's black face wrinkled slightly, "We still have a lot of copper coins and silver collars in our hands, but do you know calligraphy and painting?" ”

"Brother, I don't know much about calligraphy and painting," Wu Yong said, "but I know where anyone understands calligraphy and painting."

There is also a calligraphy and painting shop here in Yingtianfu, as well as a few of my friends. ”

Although Song Jiang's gang of heroes do business-free business, they still can't do without the help of businessmen, because the things they robbed need to be stolen, and there are many calligraphy, paintings, and literary toys.

Therefore, Wu Yong recognized a few tooth people in the calligraphy and painting shop, and some of them were working in Yingtianfu.

"Then let's find it quickly," Song Jiang said, "Take another hundred and ten big silver collars, and you will always have to play the play seriously." ”

"Brother, rest assured, there will be no mistakes or omissions in the safekeeping."
