Chapter 337: Good apprentice
Looking at the second lioness in the family riding away, Wu Haogu quietly exhaled, and now the two lionesses are not around!
And...... There are also a lot of warblers and swallows around, although there are no superb, but most of them are still relatively eye-catching. Oh, Yan Po'er is actually the best! It's just a little older.
Thinking of this, Wu Haogu immediately turned around and looked at Yan Po'er, who had just come out of an incense cart and was beckoning the girls of Yihong Courtyard to get out of the car.
This woman is still a mature woman, and at first glance she looks a little fat, but if you look closely, she is actually just right. The place that should not be fat is a little fat, and the place that should be fat is so fat that it can be seen through the clothes.
What a good woman who has lost fire!
When Wu Haogu was a little confused, Yan Po'er seemed to have discovered him, twisted his waist and shook his ***** fat and walked towards him, and when he arrived, Ying Ying made a blessing and said with a smile: "Great official, just have slaves here, please get off the horse and enter the official pavilion to rest." ”
Yan Po'er not only has a good figure that is very bad to use, but she also has very strong management skills - how can you open a brothel without management ability? She is not an ordinary prostitute, but a female capitalist who "holds hands with the industry"!
Knowing Yan Po'er's ability, Wu Haogu (actually Pan Qiaolian) contracted all the "corrupt activities" along the way to the North Mission...... Wu Haogu is a dirty official businessman! Of course, it is his job to engage in corruption, it is impossible for Zhang Shangying and Zhang Shuye to engage in corruption by themselves, they are all clean officials!
If Wu Haogu hadn't taken them to corruption, how boring would it be along the way? How boring is this official?
But Wu Haogu, the dirty official's own business ability is actually not very strong, he is only 21 years old, and in his previous life, he lived in a new China that has basically eliminated corruption, how do you know what the rotten life of a feudal bureaucrat should be like?
Fortunately, Yan Po'er knows that she has really become popular, and when she was young, she didn't know how many big people she had accompanied, but now that she is an old bustard, she often takes girls to accompany officials on trips, so she naturally knows how to be corrupt.
Therefore, before setting off with Wu Haogu, Yan Po'er hired dozens of carts, in addition to the female musicians with flowers and jade faces, she also brought a cook who specializes in Kaifeng dishes, and also brought various items and ingredients that could be used along the way. In addition, Wu Haogu also asked Lin Wancheng to bring a few guards from home, carrying a whole cart of Adu's belongings for the use of the mission on the road.
In short, this road of martial arts dirty officials inevitably has to spend tens of thousands of dollars!
Of course, as long as the matter of jointly building Jiehe Commercial City can be negotiated with Liao Guo, Wu Haogu's official dispatch of Jiehe City will be realized, and the expenses along the way will be nothing.
The city boss is a fat dispatch! With the current scale of foreign trade in the Northern Song Dynasty, all the city and ship companies only earn four or five hundred thousand yuan a year in commercial taxes (not counting the income from buying and fighting), so you can imagine how much the officials who are in charge of the city and the ship department have made?
Taking Wu Haogu as an example, Zhang Shangying was already very satisfied with the fact that he could pay 50,000 yuan a year to the Hebei East Road Transit Division. If you can get one or two hundred war horses through fighting and buying, then Wu Haogu is simply a model dirty official...... Of course, the money that should be spent, the money that should be sent, that is indispensable-don't want to be any Qingtian if you are an official of the city's ship, the Qingtian of the Song Dynasty is in the Yushitai, in Kaifeng Mansion, in places like Hanlin Academy, there are many people who are honest and honest in the local two envoys, governors, prefects, and counties, but it is impossible for the officials in charge of the city and the city to be clear, and whoever wants to be like a basin of clear water will lose their officials in a short time.
In short, the way of a good dirty official is to do a good job of corruption while doing a good job of dispatching.
Just when Wu Haogu was thinking about how to be a good dirty official of feudalism, the sound of carriages and horses came from his ears.
Who's coming?
Wu Haogu turned around and saw a very delicate and meticulous cart drawn by a horse slowly approaching. Then the small and beautiful car doesn't look like it's for a clean official, but it looks like it's for a small three-seater.
Whose junior?
Wu Haogu thought about it, it couldn't be Uncle Zhang's, I didn't hear that Uncle Zhang was afraid of his wife, it should be Zhang Shangying's. This old man married a rich woman, and was dragged by the rich woman to take refuge in my Buddha, thinking that he was a master who was afraid of the inside, and I don't know what his junior looks like?
Wu Haogu was thinking about it, and the carriage suddenly stopped more than ten steps away from him, and the front curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a girl with a smile like a flower came out of it, it was Du Wenyu, a good apprentice of Wu Haogu.
"Teacher!" Du Wenyu was dressed in a green robe, standing in front of Wu Haogu and beckoning to him happily.
Wu Haogu asked a little strangely, "Wenyu? Are you here to be a teacher? ”
In addition to Ximen Qing, the relatives and friends of the Wu family were all in the Wu family's mansion in Kaifeng Mansion to see off Wu Haogu, and Du Wenyu did not appear at that time. Wu Haogu thought that the little girl was lazy, but he didn't expect to get a car and run to Wuli Pavilion.
Du Wenyu jumped over, smiled at Wu Hao Gu Yanran, and said, "Teacher, the apprentice is here to serve the teacher." ”
Serve? As long as there is Yan Po'er...... As soon as Wu Haogu thought of this, he felt as if the atmosphere was wrong.
"Wenyu, are you going north with Weishi?" Wu Haogu asked with some uncertainty.
Du Wenyu said angrily: "Students want to accompany the teacher, the teacher will not dislike the students for being blunt, don't want the students to accompany them, right?" ”
Accompany yourself?
Wu Haogu secretly took a breath and said in his heart: This girl of the Du family is really, what a good apprentice! Much better behaved than her senior brother and junior brother. And she is also very talented, the progress of sketching is very fast, it seems that she must keep her by her side in the future and teach her carefully, so that in ten or eight years, she can become a generation of beautiful painters. In the future, I will be able to inherit my own mantle in art......
"Did you bring your painting tools?" Wu Haogu asked.
"Brought." Du Wenyu nodded.
"Good!" Wu Haogu smiled, "Then follow me!" ”
"Hmm." Du Wenyu glanced at Wu Haogu with shame and said in a low voice, "The apprentice will follow the teacher." ”
Old man Du's granddaughter is really well-behaved!
Wu Haogu looked at the delicate little girl and said with a smile: "Wenyu, your sketching is progressing very quickly, along the way, I want to teach you well, and let you see the method of body painting for the teacher." ”
"Body painting?" Du Wenyu asked puzzledly, "But the portrait?" ”
"It's not." Wu Haogu turned his head and glanced at Yan Po'er, who was explaining things to a group of warblers and Yanyan, and said in his heart: I have always wanted to find a body model, why did I forget her? She is the real unrestrained woman of the Song Dynasty!
……
"Zhongshu, what a big convoy ahead."
"Hehe, it should be Wu Dalang who arrived before us."
The ones who were talking were Zhang Shuye and Zhang Shangying, who came on horseback. Both of them were Qing officials, and when they were ordered to be half-off, they naturally followed the light car, each with seven or eight servants and a few carriages, and went out of the city to the reserved meeting place, and went to the official pavilion five miles outside the Jinyao Gate in the northwest of Kaifeng City.
Wu Haogu and a team of dozens of forbidden troops guarding Zhang Shangying and Zhang Shuye had already arrived there in advance and waited.
According to the mission's travel plan, after Zhang Shangying, Zhang Shuye, Wu Haogu and others met at Wuli Pavilion, they would first enjoy a lunch of singing and dancing in Wuli Pavilion, and then set off together, striving to arrive at the pavilion in Fengqiu County before dinner, where they would spend the night. The next day, he slowly went to Changyuan County, which was less than twenty miles away from Fengqiu City. On the third day, they will arrive in Huazhou on the Jingbei Road, and then spend the night in Weicheng before going to Baimajin, where several official ships arranged by Guoxin are already waiting, and after boarding the official ships, the mission will comfortably go to the Daimyo's Mansion......
Wu Haogu had already learned that Zhang Shangying and Zhang Shuye had arrived at this time, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to greet him with a miscellaneous military attache of the forbidden army surnamed Yang, as well as Yan Po'er, Lin Wancheng and others.
"Zhang Zhongshu, Zhang Xuanfeng, it's so ancient and polite." Wu Haogu smiled and sang a fat song.
Uncle Zhang turned over and dismounted very chicly, and arched his hand at Wu Haogu: "Chongdao, you came early." ”
Zhang Shangying carefully got off the horse with the support of a servant, and then smiled and said to Wu Haogu: "Da Lang, these carriages and horses are all yours?" ”
"Exactly." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The road to the north is very bitter and cold, and we may have to brave the snow to travel north, how can we not dress up in the color of grandeur?" ”
Zhang Shangying frowned and said, "Da Lang, we are doing things for the imperial court, how can we say that it is bitter and cold?" You are young, and you still have a lot of clothes on a trip, so how can you do great things? ”
Wu Haogu was not surprised at all when he heard this, because Yan Po'er had already told him that the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty had a high cliff and looked down on his "sycophants...... But you still have to shoot, people don't look down on it as an attitude problem, and whether you shoot or not is also an attitude problem!
Uncle Zhang is not as unkind as Zhang Shangying-his official is reincarnated and meritorious, although he is a civil official, but he is not as noble as Zhang Shangying. In the eyes of the real "heroes", he is just a martial artist with the title of civil official.
Therefore, he laughed and said: "Zhongshu, Wu Dongmen is a martial artist, which of the rampant officials of the Western Army is not as extravagant?" Even when they go into battle, they all bring with them all kinds of things to enjoy......"
"Huh!"
Before Uncle Zhang's words were over, Zhang Shangying suddenly saw an acquaintance beside Wu Haogu, "Aren't you Yan Xixi?" What, how to be with Wu Dalang? ”
Yan Xixi? She came along? Wu Haogu was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately remembered that Yan Po'er's original stage name was Yan Xixi! Zhang Shangying, the old Qing official, recognized Yan Po'er......
