Miss Xun Mo?

Did Zhao Ji take a fancy to Madam Mo?

Did he come to me for pimping?

The greatest artist in human history has now become a pimp...

Wu Haogu's cheeks twitched a few times, and finally accepted the cruel reality. He, the greatest artist in human history, is still not as good as a Persian dancer in Zhao Ji's eyes!

But... just pimp, pimp. Anyway, history books will not record such things. Maybe Da Vinci did this kind of thing.

"So it's Brother Zhao," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Have you seen "The Dance Picture of Mo Niangzi"?"

"I've seen it," Zhao Ji smiled, "It's a good painting...well, I haven't copied it yet, I want to meet Mo Niangzi today."

Zhao Ji spent most of his day painting the pink version of "Pan Qiaolian Riding Horse Picture", so he didn't have time to copy "Mo Niangzi Dance Picture", so he didn't understand how superb the human painting skills used in this picture were.

Before, Pan Qiaolian painted by Zhao Ji was wearing many clothes, but in fact she just painted her face and hands, and then added a Wu family-like clothes.

"Wu Family Style" is very popular in the Northern Song Dynasty painting world. People who have practiced painting skills have practiced it repeatedly, and Zhao Ji is very good at it. Therefore, as long as you master the characteristics of Pan Qiaolian's face and hands by copying Wu Haogu's paintings, it will not be difficult to draw Pan Qiaolian.

But "Mo Niang Dance Picture" is different, it is the real human body!

Without the foundation of tens of thousands of sketches and systematic training, there will be ghosts if you can master them!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu showed a bright smile, "Brother Zhao wants to see Madam Mo, right? OK... It happens that a certain family is about to go to Fengle Tower to have a banquet, and Madam Mo's owner Ji Yizhi is also coming. He may bring Madam Mo with him, so you might as well go with him."

"Ji Yi has gone too?" Zhao Ji frowned, "Who else?"

Ji Yi is a civil servant, and not a relative and noble official, Zhao Ji is a prince... It is always not good for civil servants to make friends with princes. Although Ji Yi is just a sesame official, there is no guarantee that there are people behind him. If Ji Yi is behind him, Empress Dowager Xiang will definitely be unhappy when she knows it. If he is behind him, then the emperor's brother will be angry again.

Nowadays, it is not easy to be the prince of the Song Dynasty!

"No one," Wu Haogu smiled, "It's just a few friends and no officials."

"Brother Xiao Yi," Pan Qiaolian reminded, "You are my cousin, why can't you behave like Master Ji?"

"Oh." Zhao Ji thought about it, he was not using the status of a prince, he was just a common scholar!

"Okay, then go and have a look." Zhao Ji nodded with a smile.

Wu Haogu did not go out with Zhao Ji immediately, but introduced his brother to Zhao Ji.

"Brother Zhao, he is my younger brother Wu Haowen, whose courtesy name is Chongwen. He is now a student of Kaifeng Prefecture and will soon be admitted to the Imperial Academy."

Wu Haowen also dressed up carefully today, wearing a blue long gown, a sachet tied around his waist, and a plum blossom in his temples, making him look particularly handsome.

Zhao Ji glanced at him and smiled and said, "No, great, very good, it would be even better if he could have a roll call outside Donghua Gate."

Wu Haowen was a little stunned. What's the origin of this Zhao Xiaoyi? Why did he speak like this? He sounded like a high-ranking official... But he seemed to be younger than him. Could he be a despicable child of a powerful man?

However, Wu Haowen is a well-read poetry and literature, and he still has to talk about etiquette, so he politely said: "What the husband said is very true. Haowen has been determined to sing the name outside Donghua Gate since he was a child."

After listening to his younger brother's words, Wu Haogu thought to himself: You have to take the Jinshi faster, otherwise the imperial examination will be suspended by the great god in front of you... If you want to take the Jinshi again, you will have to go to Liao or Goryeo to take the imperial examination.

"It's getting late..." Wu Haogu looked at Pan Qiaolian again, his face still not very good-looking. Could it be that he knew that Ximen Qing was a woman?

This girl is good at everything, but she is a little jealous. It seems that she will not agree to take a concubine and support her family...

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, 18, let's go."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Zhao Ji said, and couldn't help but look at Feng Erniang again.

It's really good, he's a good woman, but unfortunately he's a good family...

...

When Wu Haogu and others went out, Ji Yi, Ji Daguanren, Mi Youren, Su Dalang, Ma Zhi, and Zhang Xizai had already arrived at Fengle Tower. However, Madam Mo did not come with him... Madam Mo was not a professional family guru, and he only came out to do it once a while.

Moreover, when Wu Haogu treats guests, how can you ask the guests to bring their own drinks?

As for the lady who was accompanying the drink, Zhang Xizai had already applauded, and was the lady of Fenglelou. Fenglelou was originally a big restaurant that also took the erotic route.

Except for the doorbed on the ground floor of Fengle Building, there are no ladies to call. In the corridor of the private hall above, there are girls accompanying banquets waiting for the call at any time, commonly known as "Dinghua Card". However, only "Cartoon" is called at any time, and there are no "Cartoon". If the guests want the Casteon of Fengle Building to accompany the drink, they must make reservations in advance, and it is not certain whether they can be invited.

Moreover, even if ordinary guests invite a courtesan, they will just go to the courtroom to serve a glass of wine.

So Wu Haogu didn't ask Zhang Xizai to order the courtesans, but just ordered ten flower cards. They are now drinking tea with a few people who have arrived.

Mi Youren took this opportunity to talk about business matters to Ji Daren and Su Dalang.

"... To be honest, my teacher's business mind is not inferior to painting at all. The calligraphy and painting club, the calligraphy and painting hangout, the calligraphy and painting hangout and appraisal are all small profits, and they are sure to make a profit, and they are all elegant things.

Tingyang has already calculated that if we first build a guild hall near Qionglinyuan in Jinmingchi outside the West City, a fidelity calligraphy and painting vegetarian on Panlou Street, plus some reserves, the capital required is at most 300,000 yuan. The first year mainly develops layout, does not consider making money, and can show off your skills in the second year and make a profit in three years."

300,000 yuan investment, you can make sure you make a profit without losing money, and you can make a profit in three years... This is something that must be used for future generations as illegal fundraising or pyramid schemes.

But the person who said this now is Mi Youren!

"History of Painting" and "History of Books" were compiled by him and his father, and most of the fakes he created had been built into the Palace Museum and was regarded as national treasures!

In history, he also took charge of painting - equivalent to the dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in the Song Dynasty!

Now he talks about business in calligraphy and painting with others. If anyone doesn’t believe him, his mind must be in trouble.

Mi Youren continued: "Now two-thirds of the share capital have been subscribed, and there is still a 100,000 yuan shortfall. Dalang and Yizhi brother, are you interested in subscribing?"

In fact, Wu Haogu's joint stock trading bank has not absorbed 200,000 yuan of stock capital at all, but calculated the capital of actual acquisition (actually confiscated, only someone subscribed) into shares worth two yuan. In other words, at most, it can only receive 100,000 yuan of stock capital.

Among them, Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian were preparing to take out 75,000 yuan and take 50% of the shares of the joint stock trading company. Mi Youren subscribed to 8,000 yuan for his father, and persuaded his son-in-law Wang Shen to subscribe to 7,000 yuan. The remaining 10,000 yuan of the capital will be subscribed by Ximen Qing, Zhang Xizai, Hua Manshan, Ma Zhi, Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and others, and there will be 4,000 yuan for Gao Qiu to advance funds.

However, Ji Yi and Su Dalang must actually invest 100,000 yuan in shares. In this way, Wu Haogu's joint stock trading company can gain a huge amount of capital of 200,000 yuan from the beginning. It can also be ranked among the calligraphy, painting, and cultural relics stores in Kaifeng Prefecture.

According to Wu Haogu's plan, there are currently three main investments in this capital. One is to buy a larger shop on Panlou Street to transform it into a "Fidelity Painting Zhai", which specializes in "contemporary calligraphers and painters", especially the unfamous "contemporary calligraphers and painters".

The second is to invest in the construction of the Calligraphy and Painting Hall, which will be located in the area of ​​Jinmingchi and Qionglinyuan on the west side of Kaifeng Prefecture. The main business of the Calligraphy and Painting Hall is to appraise, auction, acquisition and make friends with calligraphy and painting - it is a member-based art salon.

The third is to serve as working capital and provide financial support for the development of subsequent business.

"Okay! I'll give you 50,000 yuan, and I have 50,000 brothers from Immortals to come out. How about it?"

Su Dalang had long discussed the business of calligraphy and painting and calligraphy with Wu Haogu, and he also knew a little, so he immediately subscribed to 50,000 yuan.

"Yes, I'll pay 50,000." Ji Yi agreed without hesitation.

The 50,000 yuan is not a particularly large amount for the Ji family, and the investment in front of him is definitely worth it... Not to mention the three-year return - Ji Yi does not value the return of more than 10,000 yuan a year - the additional benefits that can be brought by becoming an important shareholder of the calligraphy and painting business is enough to make him pay.

What is an additional benefit?

It is convenient to manipulate the singing and selling activities of calligraphy and painting companies... Calligraphy and painting, especially the transactions of contemporary scholars and officials' calligraphy and painting, have always been full of tricks.

Accepting bribes is a violation of the law. Even if you don’t behead or go to jail, it’s not easy to see the sea in Yalong Bay. But writing a few words to sing and selling, selling for tens of thousands of thousands is this legal?

Even if the Censorate knows, he cannot impeach it.

It is natural for literati to sell words. Even Emperor Zhenzong of this dynasty once said: There is a golden house in the book... I will impeach this to make things difficult for scholars all over the world.

In addition, it is common to give bribes to calligraphy and paintings, but it is hard to say how much the calligraphy and paintings are worth. If you can go from an authoritative singing and selling store and raise the price, it would be a small amount of money to give a big gift.

With such great benefits, Ji Yi, Ji Daguan, is so active, how could he not understand?

The big business of 100,000 yuan was negotiated in less than a stick of incense, which made Mi Youren feel that he has the talent for doing business. Just as he was about to say a few words of congratulations on his fortune, the voice of a welcoming waiter came from outside the door.

"Celebrity, this is the first room of Zhonger 2 days."

The middle of "Zhong Er Tian Yi" refers to the middle of Fengle Building, the second refers to the second floor, and Tian Yi is the name of the private room - the number one in Tian Zi! It is also the best private room on this floor.
