Chapter 459: The Emperor Summons
Wu Zhi's eyes also became cold, this Zhu Mian is really powerful, Wu Zhi just arrived in Bianjing, he quietly gave Wu Zhi a dismount.
"Two villains who tend to be inflammatory!"
Wu Zhi snorted coldly, these two families will be rectified in the future!
"Big official, what's wrong?" Bai Shengshi saw Wu Zhi's face turned gloomy, and he immediately asked puzzled.
"It's nothing, you can send someone to watch the two families left and right in the future."
Wu Zhi naturally couldn't say anything about the ladies being humiliated by the two families, but now it's not good to deal with these two families immediately, so he can only stare at them first.
"Yes!"
…………
After Bai Shengshi retreated, Wu Zhi sighed slightly, "It seems that since the time I entered Bianjing City, I have stepped into this whirlpool!" He sneered.
In the evening, Murong Yanda wore a brocade robe outside the staff, and brought a family to Wuzhi to eat here as promised, Jin Lian made a big table of all kinds of good dishes, and the Murong Yanda family who ate directly was full of oil, Murong Yanda only had one wife, and a little girl under her knees, but she also inherited her father's genetics, and she had already eaten a little chubby girl at the age of seven or eight.
The family banquet of the Wu Zhi family is ...... compared to all the rich families of this era Needless to say, the dishes are less than all the rich in pomp and circumstance.
Whoever comes to Wu Zhi's house for dinner, Wu Zhi is like the later generations, a table of eight immortals, on which is full of wine and food, everyone eats and drinks.
But in the Song Dynasty, these are just ordinary people entertaining guests, the pomp of rich officials is much more extravagant, Wu Zhi has participated in some rich banquets in Qingzhou, the most common is to put two rows of more than a dozen square tables in the living room, and then each person has a table in front of him, regardless of whether he can finish eating or not, it must be complete.
This means that the same dish is eaten at a table of people at Wuzhi's house, while in other homes, there are as many people as you invite, and you have to make as many portions as you want for a dish.
Not only is the wine and food extravagant, but also the rich people must have singing, dancing and music to help them drink and eat, so every banquet must invite the famous prostitutes of the Qinglou to sing and dance, and when they drink to the end, the dancers and famous prostitutes will come forward to persuade them to drink, and the scene is not fragrant!
Wu Zhi's family has never engaged in these scenes, and it's not that he is stingy, but the ladies in the family don't allow it, and Wu Zhi is not used to being so extravagant.
He thinks it's good for everyone to sit around eating, drinking, and bragging.
However, it is said that the banquet scene of the dignitaries and nobles here in Bianjing is more extravagant and wasteful, and Wu Zhi has the opportunity to see what kind of extravagant and glamorous method it is?
————
Early the next morning, an uninvited guest came to Wu Zhi's house.
Li Yan.
He didn't have anything else to do when he came to Wuzhi, he just came to send Wuzhi a letter of Wusha official uniform, and then take Wu Zhi to the palace.
Naturally, Wu Zhi was not to be a eunuch, but His Majesty the Emperor was anxious to see Wu Zhi!
The crimson official uniform Wu Zhi is wearing a perfect fit, and he must have a wide wing black yarn on his head and shook it, which is quite like being an official.
"Dean Wu, please!"
Li Yan's face was eager, and Wu Zhi could see that he was not in a hurry, but for the emperor.
"Okay, there is Father-in-law Lao Li leading the way."
Looking at Li Yan in front of him, Wu Zhi smiled warmly and politely, but he knew in his heart that in order to make a promise to Zhou Shou, Li Yan had already entered his blacklist, except for Zhu Mian, Wu Zhi's first person to be yin was him......
"Dean Wu, before entering the palace, our family will first tell you about the rules of the palace and the situation of the Hanlin Painting Academy......
After getting into the carriage, Li Yan smiled at Wu Zhi, and the intention of wooing was obvious.
"Thank you Grandpa Li for your love." Wu Zhi smiled amiably.
…………
The rules in the palace are nothing more than those, and Li Yan slightly mentioned Wu Zhi and cleared the door.
However, the situation of the Hanlin Painting Academy made Wu Zhi slightly surprised.
The reason why I am surprised is because the current vice president of the Hanlin Painting Academy is also a painter surnamed Wu!
This painter surnamed Wu is called Wu Hong, he is very big, his grandfather is known as the first painter of the Great Song Dynasty painter Wu Zongyuan, Wu Zongyuan's paintings are now the hot collection of Bianjing wealthy households, put in the future of any work, the auction is at least 100 million yuan!
Originally, after the former dean was transferred, it was Wu Hong who took the position, but he was cut off by Wu Zhi.
"It's a coincidence, the president and vice president of the Hanlin Painting Academy are all from their own families! Hehe! Li Yan said with a smile.
"Hehe......"
Wu Zhi will also smile in his heart, this person surnamed Wu in history, except for Wu Dalang, who has been ridiculed for eternity, the others are also a top talent!
For example, Wu Zetian......
When he arrived at the palace, Li Yan led Wu Zhi through countless porches, going around and around, and finally led Wu Zhi to the imperial garden.
Although it is autumn, the Imperial Garden is still full of flowers, all kinds of chrysanthemums are blooming, and the bald branches of pines and cypresses are dotted with them, so that people can walk into it and forget the gloom of late autumn.
The emperor's chariot and the palace maids and eunuchs were lining up at the entrance of the pavilion, facing a tall man in a red robe from a distance.
Wu Zhi Li Yan led to the pavilion, and looked at the man in front of him, the man's red robe was embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, a mutton fat white jade belt was tied around his waist, a gold crown was worn on his head, and two gold ropes hung down along his hair and temples, although he was facing away from Wu Zhi and others, Wu Zhi could still feel a transcendent momentum on the man's body.
It is a transcendent momentum, like the emperor's non-anger and self-authority, but it has a little more detachment from an artist and a bit of the fairy wind of a Taoist priest.
The future emperor's father-in-law is really who: the fairy fart - extraordinary!
Wu Zhi secretly arranged in his heart, and in this way, the nervousness in his heart was completely gone.
At this time, the emperor turned his back to the crowd, facing the drawing board, and looked seriously at a certain flower in the garden......
"Your Majesty......"
Li Yan stepped forward and whispered a few words to the emperor.
"Oh, Wu Zhi is here!"
After listening to Li Yan's report, the emperor did not turn around to formally meet Wu Zhi, but stopped his paintbrush, said a word, and tilted his neck to carefully look at his painting.
"Your Majesty."
Wu Zhi bowed and bowed, his eyes staring at the emperor.
At this time, the emperor was like a painter who was seriously creating, focusing on painting, but he was much less imperial and more approachable.
And what surprised Wu Zhi secretly was that the emperor was holding a pencil in his hand, and the shelf in front of him was also an easel for sketching, and Wu Zhi also saw from the gap between the emperor's shaking body that the drawing paper was actually a sketch drawing with a pencil "graffiti"!
"Come on, come on, Wu Zhi come here!"
The emperor quickly looked back at Wu Zhi, and immediately eagerly hooked his hand to Wu Zhi, and said, "Come and teach me how to draw sketches, I can't draw well!" ”
At the moment when the emperor turned around, Wu Zhi just glanced at the emperor's appearance, as if there was a layer of mist shrouded in the emperor's face, Wu Zhi didn't see it clearly, he only felt that the emperor's appearance should be good, and it felt very comfortable.
"Whoa!"
Since the emperor called, Wu Zhi naturally agreed and stepped forward, he was already familiar with sketching, and it was no problem to teach His Majesty the Emperor, who knew nothing about it.
Wu Zhi couldn't have imagined that when the emperor saw him, he hadn't seen the other party's appearance clearly, and the emperor was impatient to teach painting by himself, what a painting idiot!
But for Wu Zhi, the director of the academy......... His Majesty the Emperor is naturally as stupid as possible!
