According to Wu Haogu's plan, in a few months at most, he will be able to marry Pan Qiaolian, Bai Fumei of the Great Song Dynasty, in a sedan chair.

Don't look at the gap between him and Pan Qiaolian, but as long as he gets an official status, the gap does not exist.

Although the Wuhao ancient family is a painting dealer on Panlou Street, strictly speaking, it is also a scholar business. His great-grandfather also served as a six-rank court official and married the granddaughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. Moreover, Luoyang Yimen Wu, who was born in Wuhao Gu, is also a big family in Xijing, and according to the "Clan Chronicles" of the Tang Dynasty, he is a scholar family. The Great Song Dynasty did not attach much importance to the scholars, so they did not compile the "Clan Chronicles", so the martial arts family handed down by the King of Taiyuan was also regarded as a scholar family in the Song Dynasty, and they were qualified to marry the women of the Zhao family as wives - most of the women of the Zhao family were married by merchants, but the old Zhao family was not cheap. The family has long established a rule that you must be from a scholar family to marry a woman from the Zhao family.

Therefore, Wu Haogu is even a female descendant of Zhao Kuangyin who is qualified to marry, not to mention Pan Mei's descendant Pan Qiaolian?

Therefore, the problem is not the family, but the official status, property and ...... House!

And all this, as if it were not a problem.

The official body came faster than expected, and without waiting for Duan Wang to be promoted, Tong Guan came to announce the summons. When I met the Queen Mother, I offered "Quit the True Face of Arhats", and a nine-grade sesame official couldn't get it in a blink of an eye?

As for property and houses, that's even less of a problem!

The last time he left Kaifeng Mansion, Wu Haogu had more than 30,000 yuan of goods and cash on hand. I walked around outside, and although I didn't make anything, I didn't lose any money. And Wu Chengzhi has collected a deposit of 50,000 yuan for his son these days...... At this time, Wu Haogu's cash in hand rushed to 80,000 yuan.

In addition, Wu Haogu also has a Mi Fu personally forged "eighty-seven immortals", to the market, 20,000 how can be sold.

In other words, as long as Wu Haogu wants to buy a house of 100,000 yuan, he can take it at any time, and he doesn't need a mortgage loan.

A man like him, who has officials, money, and a house, and is also the greatest artist in human history, is still afraid that he will not be able to marry Pan Qiaolian?

However, to Wu Haogu's surprise, when he rushed to Pan Xiao'an's mansion the day after returning to Kaifeng Mansion and wanted to see Pan Qiaolian, he was told that Pan Qiaolian was inconvenient to meet him now.

Pan Qiaolian's brother Pan Xiao'an looked embarrassed, and said to Wu Haogu: "Da Lang, I'm afraid this matter is a bit inappropriate, and it is not in line with etiquette." ”

His fingers tapped lightly on the coffee table, making a tuk-tuk sound.

Wu Haogu sat opposite, but he didn't say a word.

"Da Lang, do you know that people are terrible?

I know that you and the eighteenth pair are in love, but the Pan family is not a small family, but a big family, and there are no less than 1,000 Ding men in the clan alone. If there are many people, there will be more right and wrong and etiquette, and there will be no problems. A few days after you and Eighteen left Kaifeng Mansion last time, the word of elopement came out. It's not that I care about people's words, but I was born in the Pan family, and I have to abide by the rules and family laws of the Jiangmen, isn't this the truth? ”

That sounds very reasonable.

The runner is a concubine, and the parents and the country are cheap!

This is the words of the Book of Rites, and it is also one of the marriage rules followed by the family. Elopement is absolutely intolerable.

Of course, the definition of "Ben" in the Song Dynasty was not as strict as that in the later Ming and Qing dynasties. Meet and talk about life ideals or something, it's not a "run", as long as you don't talk about going to bed or saying goodbye to the young couple.

And Pan Qiaolian's previous behavior of leaving Kaifeng Mansion with Wu Haogu has actually stepped on the red line of elopement!

If this matter is done, Pan Xiao'an and Pan Qiaolian will have no face to see in the door of the Pan family's mansion. Therefore, Pan Xiao'an's current attitude is also understandable.

But Wu Haogu always felt that something was wrong.

"Brother Eleventh is reasonable, and Hao Gu also knows that the previous events may damage the reputation of Sister Eighteen.

But Hao Gu took the liberty to come today, just to see the eighteenth sister, and had no other intentions, and begged the eleventh brother to make it convenient.

And Hao Gu was summoned by the Queen Mother this time, and he was going to paint for the Queen Mother in the near future, and it was not a problem for an official body to think about it...... At that time, it will be possible to marry the eighteenth sister. ”

When Pan Xiao'an heard this, he just smiled noncommittally.

"Da Lang, in that case, why are you in a hurry?"

As he spoke, Pan Xiao'an stood up, walked around the desk and walked to Wu Haogu, "The matter of marriage, the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker." This is a rule left by our ancestors, and it is done all over the world. It's not like you and Eighteen haven't met each other and don't know the roots, so why is it necessary for you to meet now to provoke gossip?

In this way, if Da Lang really wants to see Eighteen, as long as it is not a private meeting, the Pan family will not stop it, how about it? ”

This is equivalent to not saying this, Pan Qiaolian and Wu Haogu met in public, how could the Pan family stop it? But the problem is that Pan Qiaolian has not appeared in the Pan family's gold and silver silk silk shop in Jieshen Lane now, and Wu Haogu can't contact her, so how do you know where she will appear?

I don't even know this, how can Wu Haogu meet her? Pan Xiao'an probably wouldn't be kind enough to help ventilate the news, right?

And Wu Haogu is not a fool, will he not be able to see through Pan Xiao'an's thoughts?

Pan Qiaolian may not have much interest in being the wife of Duan Wang Zhao Ji, but Pan Xiao'an definitely wants to be the uncle of the country. Because of the Great Song Dynasty, all the queen's father or brother-in-law at least had an official position above the history of assassination. Although this official position is empty, it can still bring huge benefits to Pan Xiao'an.

Not to mention anything else, but the shadow supplement quota brought by a thorn history can make all of Pan Xiaoan's sons officials!

If you count the amount of shadow supplements that the queen or the queen mother (Pan Qiaolian) can bring to the Pan family, Pan Xiao'an's son-in-law and grandson don't have to worry.

As for the gray interests brought by the queen and the queen mother, there are even more to count.

So now the noble generals of the Mankaifeng Mansion are fighting for this position for their daughters, how can Pan Xiao'an be indifferent to this?

He didn't beat Wu Haogu out of the door now, probably because he felt that although Pan Qiaolian took the lead, he didn't necessarily have full confidence, so he still had to keep Wu Haogu's spare tire, right?

"Since Brother Eleventh says something, then Hao Gu can only obey orders."

Wu Haogu took a deep breath, stood up and hugged Pan Xiao'an, "Haogu still has mundane affairs, so don't bother, say goodbye!" ”

"Then I'll send it to you." Pan Xiao'an still looked like a happy and happy person, and got up with a smile to send him off.

"Da Lang," Pan Xiao'an said as he walked outside, "no matter when, the parents' orders are always to be spoken...... After you go back, get an official position as soon as possible, and leave the rest to your father. ”

What do you mean?

Wu Haogu was a little confused when he heard this. Did Pan Daguan want to let him go through "formal channels" to marry Pan Qiaolian?

It turned out that Pan Daguan was wrongly blamed? Wu Haogu thought to himself: Maybe the "ancients" are like this, right? However, it is better to get the official affairs done quickly, and then ask my father to find a matchmaker to propose to the Pan family, saving you a lot of dreams at night.

……

"Gao Yu, Liu Daguan, you all take a look, how is the Lone King's "Bishamen Heavenly Map" coming?"

Duanwang's Mansion, inside Pinyi Xuan.

Duanwang Zhao Ji has just finished a "Bishamen Heavenly Map", and he has spread it on the desk to compare it with the original painting of Wu Haogu. Standing next to him were Gao Yu and Liu Youfang, both of whom admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

This prince is really a genius in painting!

"Pro" is not "G", and I don't know how much more difficult it is. In such a short period of time, Wu Haogu's paintings can be brought to such an extent, and it may be difficult to find a second person in the world, right?

Gao Yu was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, but Liu Youfang shook his head and commented: "King, although your paper "Bishamen Tiantu" is not exactly the same as the original painting, it has fulfilled the essence of the original painting, and there has been a breakthrough.

The Bishamen sky on the original painting should be painted according to the real person, and the realistic kung fu is home, but the artistic conception is insufficient. In the old slave's opinion, it is not as good as the "Drunken Arhat Picture". However, the painting by the king makes up for the shortcomings of the original painting. The expression of Bishamentian on the picture is more exaggerated, his body shape is more powerful, and his clothes are angry, showing the might of the Dharma Protector God of War. ”

Although it is only a small change, it is the finishing touch of the picture, so that Zhao Jilin's "Bishamen Tiantu" surpasses the original painting in terms of artistry.

After listening to Liu Youfang's comments, Zhao Ji smiled proudly and said to Liu Youfang: "Liu Daguan, when King Gu copies another "Bishamen Heavenly Map", you will take both paintings to Fengle Building and hang them. ”

"The old slave knows."

As he spoke, Zhao Ji picked up the brush and inscribed the inscription of "Zhao Xiaoyi, a scholar in cloth" on the "Bishamen Tiantu" that had just been completed.

I have made a breakthrough on the basis of the painting, and then I will hang the copy and the copy (the copy is basically the same) to Fengle Building, a place where the scholars and celebrities of Kaifeng Mansion gather, to show off, this is an invitation!

If Wu Haogu didn't dare to fight, then his false reputation as "the first person in the painting" would have to be handed over, and his paintings would naturally not be as valuable as they are now.

"King, that Wu Dalang is just a cloth cloth, how dare he compete with you?" Gao Yu said with a smile.

Of course, I don't want Wu Haogu and Zhao Ji to fight and paint - Zhao Ji is not Mi Youren, the latter is just a prisoner of the country, Zhao Ji is the king, and he has to be an official......

Wu Haogu will naturally lose face if he loses, and he will lose his false reputation as "the first person in the painting", if he wins...... It's hard to say whether Zhao Ji will do anything!

Zhao Ji looked back at Gao Yu and nodded with a smile: "What you reminded is that you can't let him know my true identity." His tone suddenly sank, "You know?" ”

Gao Yu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly replied: "I know, I know." ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "If that martial arts is good at this, it would be good, but it is still not worthy of the name of the first person in the painting." If he really wants to win the Lone King, he still has to show some real skills! ”
