Sangong Jiuqing was almost crazy, in the crazy bidding in the studio, Wei Juan and Zhiundoubt's family background was slightly thin but could not compete with the meritorious Liehou family, and when he passed five thousand gold, he was immediately defeated and retreated, and in turn Cao Shi was stunned when it was his turn.

He really didn't expect that these old foxes had been cheating him, just now he accidentally promised to paint for them for free, and he would lose a lot of amazing fortune invisibly, and now he forced several people to try to bid for the paintings.

Of course, the painting to buy is not a portrait of the father and son of the heavenly family, but a portrait painted for them by Cao Shi himself, but there is no mortal who does not want to be famous for the eternity and let his children and grandchildren look up to the sky, especially those who feel good about themselves want to draw themselves on paper.

The bidding soared until 8,500 gold before it slowly stopped, and the winner was the silent servant An Guohou Wang Pifang, who was also an old qualification from the meritorious liehou, and his ancestor Wang Ling was the oldest among the meritorious heroes from abundant background, and Liu Bang had to call him his brother before the beginning.

"Pingyang Hou, I want to ask you to draw a portrait of my ancestor, can you mention a few more lines?"

Cao Shi secretly said that this was indeed the case, so he spread his hand with a smile: "The ancestor of Anguo is Wang Ling, and I haven't seen how to make paintings?" ”

Wang Pifang was also anxious, and compared the height and appearance of the ancestor Wang Ling left and right, and Cao Shi drew a few sketches according to his description and compared the appearance, until Wang Pifang saw one of them and nodded again and again.

An Guohou was very anxious to get the painting, and hurried home to prepare gold after agreeing on the approximate time, 8,500 gold almost occupied 30% of the savings of An Linghou's family, in order to leave something memorable for the ancestor Wang's tomb, Wang Pifang was also very brave and bloody to fight.

The news of Cao Shishan's painting was really not hidden, and there were many rumors circulating in the two cities of Chang'an after only five days, some people believed and some people did not believe it, until the prince Liu Che took out the long-known portrait of the father and son of the heavenly family at a certain court meeting, and ordered Cao Shi to dedicate the picture to give a thousand gold, which completely started the name of Cao Shishan's painting.

"This is the two thousand catties of gold sent by An Guohou as a deposit, this is the one thousand gold given by the prince today, the gentleman only used ten days to get so much money, the concubine is really happy!" Princess Yangxin stared at Huang Cancan's gold, her big eyes flashing with water, just like the legendary dragon that goes crazy when she sees a shining object, perhaps the woman and the dragon are extremely similar in some way.

Cao Shi spread his hands and looked helpless, although he liked painting very much, but after all, he didn't want to be a professional painter, it took ten days and half a month to paint a painting, and it took a month to a few months to paint a larger size.

Rare is expensive, painting is currently Cao Shi's monopoly, of course, the rarer the heirloom works, the more valuable they are, a few days of impatience to produce a painting is not responsible for the quality of the work, but also not responsible for the good reputation of his own golden signboard, he would rather use his spare time to paint a longer cycle, take out the work more exquisite and perfect, sell a high price and can win a good reputation, fame and fortune, the world will not say that he is greedy for money.

"Xijun is also very good, he has made a name for himself in the circle of ladies in Chang'an, I heard that there is an endless stream of people who come to your fat powder shop to buy gouache every day, but I am afraid that it is a big deal to make money every day." Cao Shi said with a smile.

Princess Yangxin looked very good, and said with a smile: "The gentleman's praise is really good, every time the concubine hears the gentleman's words, her body is fluttering like on the clouds, although she does not earn as much as the gentleman, but the concubine has accumulated no less than five hundred gold in the past few months." ”

"Oh, that's a lot of sincerity, women's cosmetics are not big, the most profitable is to make beautiful clothes to wear, a few days ago I contacted Uncle Chen to let the caravan in the south get more good raw silk from Huaishang, and I plan to get a few brocade workshops in the Zhuangzi under the Hou Mansion, when the time comes, you will design and I will draw pictures, and make some beautiful clothes to sell in Chang'an."

Princess Yangxin smiled coquettishly: "The gentleman is so good, why didn't the concubine think of it!" It's still a gentleman. ”

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and it is appropriate to describe Fan Itguang, but before leaving, the Son of Heaven met with the princes of Chang'an, including him, and announced on the spot the country of the provincial princes, and lifted the ban on the princes who were not allowed to enter Chang'an for 35 years, and also specially allowed those who sat on the throne to reinstate the princes.

Fan Itguang was the first batch of reinstated liehous, and the case of being falsely accused by the Sheren was also turned over by the Tingwei Mansion for retrial, falsely accusing his Houfu Sheren of the crime of framing the liehous, and was sentenced to the capital punishment of abandoning the city to set an example, and the insults and grievances he had suffered in the past few years were completely washed away, and he could finally raise his eyebrows and restore his respect for the liehous.

The subordinate officials of Taichang Mansion told Fan Taguang that he planned to officially announce the reinstatement of the Marquis of Wuyang after the end of the ancestral spirit sacrifice in August this year, and the number of household registrations of the Marquis of Wuyang at the time of the exemption of the food yi was divided into the past according to the standard of 10,330 households, and the number of princes sealed by Emperor Gao after more than 60 years doubled the population, and there were as many as 30,000 or 40,000, and Fan Taguang was also a marquis of 10,000 households.

"At the beginning, without the integrity of the marquis, there would not be a day when my Fan family returned to Chang'an, if there was no generous statement between the prince and the king, there would not be the glory of my Fan and its return to the marquis, the prince treated my Fan family with the great grace of recreation, and I would never dare to forget it in this life!" Fan It was very elated and excited.

Cao Shi smiled slightly and said: "The scholar has done a lot of things for me and the Hou Mansion, taught me to pick up people and things, and handled the complicated interpersonal relationships in Chang'an for me, and resisted the unprovoked harassment of the Dou family and the Chen family for me. ”

"It's not the same, the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, it is natural for a certain prince to try his best to do things, the prince not only took me and my family but also took us back to Chang'an, and today I mentioned that my Fan family found the lost liehou, if I forget such a great kindness, I am afraid that the Taigong (Fan Xu) in the spirit of heaven will also be angry."

Fan Taguang is more pure than the old liehous, that is, he thanked Cao Shi and Cao Shi for reinstating the princes in a hurry before the Son of Heaven, so that many guilty or innocent and wronged princes could get a precious opportunity to turn over.

The treatment given by the Son of Heaven is very high, as long as it does not involve rebellion, great disrespect and other great rebellious crimes, the princes who have lost their marquis during the fifteen years of the Son of Heaven's reign can be reinstated.

For the loss of the marquis is a great favor that can not be refused, almost overnight, Cao Shi became a pivotal figure in the circle of the princes of Beijing, this is not only the opinion of the marquis, but also the unanimous attitude of the marquis, only he dared to propose the reinstatement of the dethroned marquis in front of the emperor, indicating that Cao Shi's courage and skills are extraordinary.

"I'm not a person who wants to repay the favor, don't mention the words of kindness and the like, I'm thinking that in the future, our two families will always form a good alliance, how about advancing and retreating together?"

Fan It was overjoyed: "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”

The two of them smiled tacitly, the basic things up and down the Pingyang Hou Mansion couldn't bypass Fan Itguang, so he had a lot of important information about the Hou Mansion in his hands, even if this was far from touching the core secrets of the Hou Mansion, but seeing that it was difficult to protect himself from being found by others, it was impossible for Cao Shi to ignore the danger, and chose to form an alliance to slowly digest the information he had in his possession.

Any information has a certain timeliness, and at the end of Qin a few decades ago, the secrets of Daqin's lack of troops and major generals in Guanzhong were completely meaningless at the moment, so he chose to wait for a few years, so that the information that Fan Itguang grasped gradually lost its timeliness, and unconsciously became completely useless redundant information, which was the safest and least harmful way.

The three of them became tigers, Cao Shi intended to win him over as an important helper of the Beijing Division, and Fan Itguang also intended to get closer, the two sides were willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, and the mutually beneficial relationship was absolutely sure to make money and not lose money.

Princess Yangxin is busy handling the gadgets in the Jingshi, in her eyes doing business is an interesting gadget, every day watching the growing income on the ledger will be very satisfying, and the complaints that shouting that the days are boring have disappeared, and she is very energetic all day long, and at first glance she is busier than her husband.
