Chapter 63: Lucky Stars? Scourge?
The drizzle was pouring down, and it came down again at some point.
When the feast in the upper temple was over and everyone dispersed, they found that the drizzle had sneaked into this afternoon, dispelling some of the heat and bringing a bit of poetry.
Wu Haogu left the north chamber of the city with Gao Yu, and Gao Yu also borrowed two umbrellas from the upper temple, and the two of them each played an umbrella and walked side by side on the long street of Kaifeng Mansion.
The soft and thin rain did not drive away many pedestrians, after entering the Anyuan Gate, the street in front of the horse is still as lively as a sunny day, but more pedestrians have paper umbrellas, and there are more umbrella vendors on the street.
"Brother," Wu Haogu asked as he walked, "It's inconvenient to speak, is it?" ”
Gao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "I knew you were going to ask...... This time, thanks to you, I'm tall and good, and I can see the day of my emergence. ”
It turned out that the mysterious young man Wu Haogu met in Wang Xu's mansion that day was Zhao Ji, the Duanwang who came to visit Weifu, the future official of the Great Song Dynasty, and the one who was called "gray" by later generations Song Huizong.
Even if there is no Wu Haogu's "Gao Yu Juju Tu", Gao Yu will also plunge into the arms of Duanwang Zhao Ji...... The two of them are destined to be destined! Therefore, Zhao Ji saw "Keju Picture", and saw Gao Yu's deity in Wang Xu, and immediately liked it. opened his mouth and asked Wang Shu for Gao Yu to go to the palace.
As for Wu Haogu, who painted "Keju Map", of course Zhao Ji also likes it, but Wu Haogu is not anyone's Hakka retainer, and Zhao Ji can't ask for it with a word.
Moreover, Zhao Ji didn't want to use force against Wu Haogu...... How useless is it to force people to come under their own door? With Zhao Ji's state of mind, how could he do such a thing?
"Is it Duanwang?" Of course, Wu Haogu knew who Gao Yu was destined for.
Gao Yu nodded and lowered his voice: "Don't be silent." ”
"Why?" At this time, Wu Haogu didn't quite understand.
Gao Yu smiled, "Da Lang, you are also a scholar and the first person in the painting, why don't you understand the artistic conception of intersecting in the market?" ”
Intersecting in the market?
Wu Haogu thought about it, as if Song Huizong was a "Qinglou Tianzi" who had nothing to do and loved to wander around the Kaifeng market...... This official family not only wants to enjoy the glory of the Son of Heaven, but also wants to feel the leisurely of a celebrity hermit.
This state of mind has long been commented on by historians of later generations, and Wu Haogu also knows it.
He nodded and said, "I see." ”
Gao Yu then said: "Before, my brother and I were a small official in Mr. Su's house and Wang Yuma's mansion, I didn't know what the palace looked like, but now I plunged into it, and I knew how deep the water was there.
Da Lang is capable, why bother to throw himself into this troubled water? So my brother became the master and instigated him to be your student under a pseudonym. ”
Gao Yu is sincerely planning for his friends. Because where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are struggles. Zhao Ji's palace is the same, although there is a group of harmony on the face, but the struggle below is much more cruel than that on Panlou Street!
The struggle on Panlou Street basically has a bottom line, but the palace is ...... Then there is no such thing as making money without killing people.
In order to climb up, who is not unscrupulous?
With Gao Yu's cunning and cunning, he can naturally deal with it easily, but Wu Haogu does not have this ability.
has been dating Wu Haogu for many days, and Gao Yu has long seen through Wu Haogu's personality. Not only is he arrogant, but he is also a little ill-planned. If he enters the Duanwang Gate, naturally no one on Panlou Street will dare to provoke him, but in the palace, no one will be detached by him. Zhun Bao can't even find him in the north!
Therefore, Gao Yu, a good friend, planned for Wu Haogu and found another way for him.
Be Zhao Ji's art teacher?
Wu Hao Gu thought about it, this is good! Zhao Ji will be the emperor in more than a year, and he will be the emperor's art teacher by then! Although he teaches painting, but his reputation is there, so who would dare to bully?
Moreover, being an art teacher of Song Huizong is easier to exert influence than being a courtier of Song Huizong.
As for an official body, that's not a matter at all!
"It's still my brother who thinks thoughtfully." Wu Haogu said gratefully, "I just told King Duan to wait for two or three months to come back, isn't it...... Something disrespectful? ”
What he meant was actually to let Song Huizong come to apprentice earlier?
Gao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, you have to let King Duan know how capable you are first...... He now has a "Mulberry Family Wazi Picture", a "Drunken Arhat Picture" and a "Keju Picture", and if he has obtained a treasure, he will copy it at home all day long. When he comes and can't come out, he will know your ability, and then he will be happy and sincerely worship you as a master.
So you go to find Mi Fu, but you have to be careful on the road. ”
Gao Yu thought about it, and said: "The Lin family father and son and Lu Xiaoyi you found do have real skills, if you go all the way with Master Zhishen, you should be safe."
When you come back, Duanwang will intersect with each other. You don't want to show your bottom, you know? ”
Wu Haogu smiled: "I know, I know...... Always let him enjoy the fun of the market. ”
"Yes, yes, yes," Gao Yu said with a smile, "I just want this taste, Dalang, you just understand!" ”
……
On the bank of the Jinshui River, Duanwang's Mansion, in the West Study.
Just when Gao Yu and Wu Haogu were slowly walking on Maqian Street in the rain, Zhao Ji, that is, the tall boy that Wu Haogu met by chance outside Wang Xu's Baoning Cidi Gate a few days ago, was tasting a picture that had just been sent.
This is a "Pan Qiaolian Photo", but it is not a painting by Wu Haogu, but a work by Mi Youren.
"If there is no Wu Haogu, Xiaomi will be the first person to be involved with this painting." Zhao Ji looked at the beauty on the painting and suddenly smiled, "By the way, who is this Pan Qiaolian?" ”
His question was asked to an old eunuch with a white beard standing with a whisk on the side, and the old eunuch was Liu Youfang. This "Pan Qiaolian Photo" (actually a facsimile) was exchanged for Zhao Ji from Mi Youren with a piece of Su Dongpo's real pen and calligraphy.
"This Pan Qiaolian is a woman from the Pan family," Liu Youfang said softly, "She is the aunt of Pan Yi, the general of the Left Guard, but she is very young, only one year older than you, the king." ”
"Have you ever promised to be married?" Zhao Ji seemed to ask unintentionally.
However, a hint of happiness flashed on Liu Youfang's face. Duanwang Zhao Ji is not yet old enough to get married, so he is still an unmarried person, and there is no concubine on his side.
If he falls in love with Pan Qiaolian, then the Pan family's generals, including Pan Xiao'an and Pan Daguan, will not hesitate to send Pan Qiaolian into the palace...... This is no ordinary wealth!
"Xu once," Liu Youfang said, "It's a sect son, but he died before he got married." ”
"Oh." Zhao Ji responded, noncommittal.
Liu Youfang then said: "Actually, that Wu Haogu also drew a photo picture for Pan Qiaolian in Panjiayuan......
"Pan Jiayuan fights paintings?" Zhao Ji nodded and said, "I've heard of it." ”
"That "Pan Qiaolian Photo Picture" is applauded!" Liu Youfang looked at Zhao Ji and said.
"Where is that "Pan Qiaolian Photo"?" Zhao Ji really became interested.
Liu Youfang said: "It's in the hands of Pan Xiao'an, the general of the Pan family...... If the king wants to see it, the old slave can go for you. ”
"It's fine." Zhao Ji nodded.
Liu Youfang gave a salute and said with a smile: "Without further ado, the old slave will go to find Pan Xiao'an." ”
"Okay, go and get back."
"Okay, okay, old slave, let's go."
