Rainy night, Pan Jiayuan, West Fourth Room.

The lights were faintly lit in the old mansion where few people lived, and Pan Xiao'an and Pan Qiaolian, brothers and sisters, moved from the manor outside Kaifeng Mansion to Pan's home during the day, and brought dozens of servants to clean the yard that had fallen into disrepair.

Because tomorrow there will be many people who can be regarded as the number one in Kaifeng Mansion to come to watch the gambling fight between Mi Youren and Wu Haogu.

Of course, at the same time, you will also have a glimpse of Pan Qiaolian's stunning appearance......

However, Pan Xiao'an doesn't care at all about tomorrow's competition that will shock the Kaifeng painting world, and he is now stunned by a "Beauty Picture" spread out in front of him.

The beauty on the picture is Feng Erniang!

The picture is Feng Erniang's old daughter who sent Granny Wang to Pan Xiao'an, the purpose of which is so that Wu Haowen can enter Taixue smoothly.

Entering Taixue is not like taking the imperial examination, a piece of paper is determined, and it needs to be fought for. But Wu Chengzhi's father is now in a pit, so Feng Erniang can only think of another way.

And Pan Xiao'an is the only person she can count on.

However, she did not dedicate Wu Zongyuan's "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" to Pan Xiao'an, but took the "Feng Erniang Photo Picture" painted by Wu Haogu for her and sent it......

Under the light, Feng Erniang on the picture seemed to come to life, and returned to the moment when she met Feng Erniang in Panlou twenty years ago.

"Ah, this is Feng Erniang, how can it be so similar? What if I saw the county lord's sister-in-law? ”

There was the sound of Pan Qiaolian shouting from behind, and Sister Pan Eighteen entered the study at some point and stood behind Pan Daguan.

"Eighteen, don't scare your eleventh brother...... Your sister-in-law won't say much when she sees this painting, it's just a painting. ”

The "county lord's sister-in-law" is naturally from the Zhao family, but it was not ushered in at a great price. It is natural for the Pan family to marry the Zhao family's royal family, and there is no need to "buy a marriage", and the county lord who married into the Pan family is not the kind of down-and-out daughter of the Zhao family. Correspondingly, the temper of this "county lord's sister-in-law" is also a bit big, and in the early years, Pan Xiao'an was not allowed to take concubines and raise family skills.

However, in recent years, with the birth of several children of Pan Xiao'an (all born to the county lord's sister-in-law) one after another, the county lord's sister-in-law has relaxed a lot towards Pan Xiao'an.

Pan Xiao'an looked at her sister and asked, "Eighteen, do you know who this painting came from?" ”

"Who?" Pan Qiaolian raised her eyebrows, "It won't be Brother Dawu, right?" ”

"That's him."

"Then tomorrow's competition, Brother Dawu will win."

"Winning is winning, but I'm afraid disaster will follow."

"Woe?"

Pan Xiao'an nodded, took out a copy of "Drunken Arhat" that Li Tang bought from Su's shop, and put it next to "Feng Erniang's Photo".

"How?" Pan Xiao'an asked, "Look at it, is it painted by one person?" ”

"Painted by one person?" Pan Qiaolian was stunned, "Brother Eleven, aren't you dazzled?" ”

"I didn't see it," Pan Xiao'an shook his head, "It was Li Xigu who saw it." ”

"Li Xigu?" Pan Qiaolian was stunned, ""The Drunken Arhat Diagram has always been in the hands of the martial arts?" ”

"Hehe," Pan Xiao'an sneered a few times, "Why isn't "Drunken Arhat" a fake made by Wu Dalang?" ”

"Ahh That painting can trap Liu Youfang and Chen Youwen for 50,000 yuan! ”

"And my family can't escape the suspicion of complicity!" Pan Xiao'an said coldly.

"Humph! So what? Pan Qiaolian raised her eyebrows, "My Pan family is still afraid of him, a husband and a philistine?" ”

Pan Xiao'an looked at her sister-in-law, shook her head, and sighed: "Fear is not afraid, but doing business pays attention to harmony and making money, and offends Liu Youfang and Chen Youwen for no reason, which is true." He showed this ability again, he showed it earlier, he got ahead early, and the martial arts family would not be in trouble.

Besides, Wu Haogu doesn't need us to save it now, this kind of painting skills ...... Are you still afraid that there will be no noble people to help you? How am I compared to them? In my family, only the fourth brother (Pan Xiaoyan) can accept him to get started.

I just don't know ......."

"Don't know what?" Pan Qiaolian was a little confused by his brother's words and asked.

"I just don't know what you're thinking about the two of you!" Pan Xiao'an looked at the girl and smiled, "You and him may not be out of luck!" ”

"Brother Eleven, do you mean ......" Pan Qiaolian was surprised, and her pretty face immediately turned red, like a ripe apple.

Pan Xiao'an shook his head and said in a low voice: "But if he enters the fourth brother's door, the two of you will have no chance!" ”

……

When the day was bright, Wu Haogu's two good brothers, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, drove a rented carriage to the "Feng Mansion" in the First Sweet Water Lane - that is, Wu Haogu's home, because yesterday Wu Chengzhi and Feng Erniang reconciled, and the house had been transferred to Erniang.

Wu Haogu got up early because there was a "big war" to fight today, and packed up his painting tools and easels.

And Wu Chengzhi and Feng Erniang, because they couldn't sleep all night last night, didn't fall asleep until dawn, so they haven't woken up yet. Wu Haowen lived in the school and worked hard. Granny Wang went out early and didn't know where to go?

So Wu Haogu went out alone with his painting tools and easels, got into the carriage driven by Guo Jing, and went to Panjiayuan.

Panjiayuan is located on the right side of Kaifeng Mansion, on the bank of the Jinshui River, from the Wujia to the past to take Panlou Street, and then pass through the front of the Imperial Palace. When the carriage arrived at Panlou Street, it was met by hundreds of officials, and the military patrol paved the road.

Wu Haogu took the opportunity to get out of the car to buy cooking cakes and buns, and had just bought food at a stall on the street, but heard someone calling his name.

"Wu Dalang, is it Wu Dalang?"

When Wu Haogu looked back, he saw a big fat man wearing a moon-white Confucian robe, wearing a Dongpo scarf on his head, and a red flower in his sideburns, beckoning to him.

"It's Su Dalang, right?"

Wu Haogu recognized the person as Su Lida Su Dalang, the owner of the Su family's shop.

Su Fatzi walked over like a gust of wind, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Wu, are you going to Panjiayuan?" ”

"Exactly." Wu Haogu asked, "Where are you going, Su Dalang?" ”

"It's also Pan Jiayuan," Su Fatzi laughed, "Go and see how you win Mi Youren, and I specially changed into a scholar's clothes, so as not to let the gate in." ”

"Da Lang, you are laughing," Wu Haogu of course knew the bottom of the old vinegar of the Su family in Kaifeng, and he pointed to the carriage he was riding, "If you don't dislike it, take Wu's carriage and go together." ”

"It's good, it's good, I can't ask for it." The fat man laughed, "Panjiayuan is very far away, and my fat man Su can't walk." ”

Wu Haogu nodded, he really needed a friend now, but there was no reason to push a character like Su Dalang who was about to become popular on Panlou Street.

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are also people who often walk around Panlou Street, and they have been to Su's shop a few times, and it is rare that Su Dalang has a good memory and can actually call them by name. And this fat man is still a self-cooked character, and he soon got along with Wu Haogu, Guo Jing, and Liu Wuji.

Along the way, Fat Su was bragging about how prosperous his Su family shop is now. Because of the success of the last singing and selling "Drunken Arhat", now Su's shop is like the top brand on East Cross Street.

And Su Fatzi wants to organize a few more singing sales, to see if he can bring his shop to the road of "singing and selling......

The meaning of his words Wu Haogu can understand, he wants to hire Wu Chengzhi and Wu Haogu to his own shop after the collapse of the martial arts shop.

For today's Wu Haogu, Su Fatzi's idea can be regarded as a send-off.

Although Wu Haogu wouldn't give Su Fat a palm, he was still very grateful to this fat man.

Several people talked all the way, and finally arrived at the main gate of Panjiayuan at nearly three o'clock in the morning.

As soon as Wu Haogu got out of the car, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl dressed as a female envoy waving to him, this girl was Pan Qiaolian's personal envoy bottle.
