Chapter 86: Famous Duke and Marquis

Xiao Zhizhong was excited: "Mr. Chen, are you really saying this? You didn't lie to us?"

Chen Wanrong’s help to Wu Daozi was not known, and Xiao Zhizhong didn’t even know that Wu Daozi was standing next to him and was joking with Wang Han.

"Yes!" Dou Huaizhen hurriedly agreed.

"Mr. Dou, Lord Xiao, this matter is absolutely true! If you don't believe it and Wu Daozi doesn't paint, you can let you deal with it!" In order to make them believe it, Chen Wanrong said this firmly.

Chen Wanrong said just one sentence to Wu Daozi. Wu Daozi had no choice but to help Chen Wanrong solve the problem. Not to mention painting a painting, it would be fine to draw ten or eight.

"Okay, let's go to Jianglou now!" Dou Huaizhen was extremely excited: "I have heard that Wu Daozi is a talented artist who spent ten thousand yuan to win over him, but no one dares to fight until now. Unexpectedly, I can see you today, lucky, lucky!"

Xiao Zhizhong's excitement was not inferior to him: "Mr. Dou, you don't know that Wu Daozi's paintings are now sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver. It is hard to find tens of thousands of gold. That is the supreme glory of the painter, great talent, great talent! Many people want to see him but cannot get them. If they can meet each other today, they will comfort their lives!"

Chen Wanrong glanced at Wu Daozi and was talking to Wang Han with great enthusiasm. Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong didn't know you in person!

After this matter was decided, Chen Wanrong felt relieved. If Chen Wanrong originally wanted to not even Wu Daozi to make them moved, he would have to force Shen Que.

Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong have the highest rank, and are the generals of Princess Taiping, and are obviously the leaders of the court officials. Once they agree, this matter will be much easier. Chen Wanrong clasped his fists and said, "Dear sirs: Let's go to the small gathering of Wangjiang Tower."

"Mr. Chen, we are here to see the perfume, not to drink wine." Someone among the ministers immediately objected.

"First read the perfume. When can't you drink alcohol?"

"We'll have fun and don't go home until we get drunk!"

This reaction was expected by Chen Wanrong and smiled and said, "My dear sirs: There is another thing I haven't told you. A big thing will happen in Wangjiang Tower soon and a good story. If you don't go and see it, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"I dare to ask Lord Chen, what's going on?" An official asked curiously.

This question was exactly what these officials thought, and they all agreed in unison.

Chen Wanrong pretended to be mysterious and said, "You have to go and see it yourself. I just want to say one thing. If you miss today, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Lord Dou, Lord Xiao, do you think so?"

"That's right!" Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong hurriedly spoke.

"Let's go and have a look." The ministers responded with a loud bang. Shen Que sent troops to guard the ministers and set off towards Wangjiang Tower.

Chen Wanrong came to Princess Jinxian. Before she could speak, Princess Jinxian spoke first: "Stop talking, we won't go with you. We're here."

Follow Chen Wanrong to Wangjiang Tower, there must be a lot of constraints, so how can I be free here? There are many ministers who know them, and they cannot speak and do whatever they want. Here, except Zheng Qing and Qing'e, who knows that they are princesses? The degree of freedom is one of the heavens and the other is the earth, which is completely different.

Chen Wanrong invited her in accordance with etiquette. She didn't go, and Chen Wanrong stopped persuading her and smiled and said, "Be careful, don't let the sky leak."

Princess Yuzhen's eyes widened: "Dare you tell us?"

No matter what, Princess Jinxian could not have imagined that Chen Wanrong had the ability to joke, and burst into laughter: "You are really, you don't even care about speaking."

Chen Wanrong said he accused him of his crime, and quickly walked over, pulled Wu Daozi and Wang Han into the car, and then he went to Wangjiang Tower. After sitting down, Chen Wanrong clasped his fists at Wu Daozi and said, "Brother Wu, I have to ask you for help today."

Wu Daozi smiled and said, "Brother Chen, just say it if you have something to do, and I will do my best."

Wang Han was straightforward and patted Chen Wanrong on his shoulder: "Brother Chen, what kind of friendship do we have? What else can we say about helping or not? Just say it if you have something to do."

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Then I'll have a blessing for Brother Wu. Brother Wu, I'm just happy about the matter of launching perfume, and it's too loud."

"What's wrong with this? The bigger the momentum, the better! Many people want to ask for this momentum but can't get it. You're better, but you think it's too big, and there's no such reason in the world!" Wang Han didn't care at all.

Chen Wanrong continued: "If you only have a little bit of momentum, it will be fine. The problem is that I shouldn't invite those officials to come. When they come, the scenery will be glorious and trouble will come. You all know that the Crescent Sect is very rampant now. If the Crescent Sect takes advantage of this opportunity today and is not conducive to officials, it will collapse."

Wu Daozi and Wang Han suddenly realized and nodded in agreement: "Brother Chen said that we were just concerned about happiness and did not expect this. Brother Chen was still careful about it."

Chen Wanrong didn't dare to receive their compliments and said, "Brother Wu, Brother Wang, you have been awarded. I thought about this floor after Lord Shen arrived. I had no thoughts and no thoughts. I wanted to invite the officials to Wangjiang Tower for a drink. One was to do my best to do the host, and the other was to be in Wangjiang Tower, it was much more difficult for the Crescent Moon Sect to do. After all, Lord Shen brought the army and only needed to surround Wangjiang Tower and not be allowed to enter and exit, the Crescent Moon Sect had no choice."

"Good idea!" Wu Daozi praised.

Chen Wanrong frowned and said embarrassedly: "Just now, Lord Dou and Lord Xiao talked about this, and they didn't want to go. I had to lie that Brother Wu was going to paint in Wangjiang Tower, and they agreed to go."

Wang Han smiled heartily and said, "Brother Wu, you are ready to show off your skills. These are hundreds of officials. If you paint in front of them, you will definitely be famous. Brother Wu, the opportunity is rare, you have to seize it."

Chen Wanrong was just thinking about it temporarily, but he hadn't thought of this yet. After Wang Hanyi's reminder, this was an excellent opportunity for Wu Daozi to boost his fame.

Wang Han slapped Chen Wanrong on the shoulder: "Brother Chen, you have found a good opportunity for Brother Wu." He patted Wu Daozi twice on his knee: "Brother Wu, there are not many great painters from all ages and today, so don't miss it!"

Wu Daozi clasped his fists at Chen Wanrong: "Brother Chen, thank you for your fulfillment! Don't worry about this, I will definitely not disappoint you."

As a painter, few people have ever done such things as painting in front of all officials. No matter how precious this opportunity is, it is not an exaggeration to praise it. Wu Daozi was energetic and decided to show his skills.

Originally an emergency measure, it actually became a good opportunity for Wu Daozi. Chen Wanrong was both an accident and happy for Wu Daozi.

When Chen Wanrong arrived at Wangjiang Tower, he saw that outside the Wangjiang Tower was under high alert and the army surrounded Wangjiang. Although there was no explicit prohibition on entering and leaving, there were few guests. There were also people who were not afraid of officers and soldiers, but there were not many such people, let alone such a large formation, and there were not many diners.

"Is the noise too much?" Chen Wanrong muttered.

Wang Han teased: "Brother Chen, you are just saying that the noise is too big now. Is it a bit late? It's all you! Now, Manager Zhou's business today will be greatly affected."

Chen Wanrong didn't care about this: "It's nothing, I'll give you the shortcomings."

Wu Daozi shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, I'm afraid that Manager Zhou will not be happy yet, so how could he ask for your money? Think about it, there are so many restaurants in Chang'an, which restaurant has received so many officials at once? Not to mention, there are several prime ministers, what a glory it is! It's a grand event!"

As Wu Daozi said, Zhou Sheng was so happy that he was almost jumping up. The smile on his face was layered layer after layer, and he was busy directing his servants and maids to serve the officials.

Chen Wanrong and the other two got out of the car. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they discovered Zhou Sheng and greeted him with a smile: "I have met three people! Oh, Mr. Wu, you are here too! What wind blows you? It's so great, so great! No wonder the magpies chirped today, it turns out that there are distinguished guests coming!" His hands kept touching his face, which was hot.

Wu Daozi and Wangjiang Tower have a very short relationship, and Wu Daozi is famous here. The "Gathering and Drinking Picture" painted by Wu Daozi in Wangjiang Tower is still hung in Wangjiang Tower for people to watch, and has become the signature of Wangjiang Tower. The reputation of Wangjiang Tower has a great relationship with Wu Daozi. When Zhou Sheng suddenly saw Wu Daozi, he would not be happy.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I'm sorry to you today." Chen Wanrong said politely.

Zhou Sheng smiled and opened his mouth to close his mouth: "Mr. Chen, you are so serious! This is my honor. You distinguished guests, you can't even invite them, so there is no trouble. Hurry up, please go upstairs!" Lead the way in the head.

As soon as he went up the second floor, he saw many soldiers standing, guarding them very strictly. Except for officials and maids, they were not allowed to enter. Shen Qi made great efforts, which was a bit disturbing to the public.

Shen Qi came up and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, today is the first time Shen Qi is doing this. It's a sin!"

There was nothing I could do about that. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mr. Shen doesn't have to blame himself. This is because of me. If you want to say something wrong, it's because of me." This is to suggest that Shen Que, if an official is published, Chen Wanrong will take responsibility.

Chen Wanrong is a celebrity in front of Ruizong. I believe that no one will have eyes and participate in Chen Wanrong. Of course, this possibility is not without it.

"Mr. Chen is too careful. I don't mean that. I just feel a little uncomfortable." Shen Qi shook his head.

Zhou Sheng led Chen Wanrong to the largest room, and saw Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong sitting inside. Both of them and Shen Que were prime ministers of the current dynasty, so naturally they wanted the best room and Chen Wanrong was with him.

Everyone had seen the ceremony and sat down. Chen Wanrong asked, "Shopkeeper Zhou, have you all arranged it?"

Zhou Sheng nodded quickly and said, "Mr. Chen, please don't worry, this matter will fall on me, so I won't make any mistakes."

"That's good!" Chen Wanrong nodded and stopped talking. Zhou Sheng sued him for guilt and left.

While savoring the fragrant tea, Dou Huaizhen commented: "I just watched Wu Daozi's "Gathering and Drinking Picture". The techniques and lines are all unique! Unexpectedly, I was so talented that I could compare to Gu Kaizhi! But it was a pity that I didn't see the painting that day."

Gu Kaizhi is famous in history, and Dou Huaizhen now compares Wu Daozi with him, and has a very high evaluation.

Xiao Zhizhong agreed with this comment: "Wu Daozi's talent that Gu Kaizhi has never met in a century is not inferior to him. However, Wu Daozi is in his prime, and I see that his painting skills have not yet been achieved. In less than ten years, Wu Daozi can go hand in hand with Gu Kaizhi."

Gu Kaizhi is a rare great painter in Chinese history. However, Wu Daozi became a saint and was respected as the "saint of painting for hundreds of generations". He is even more skillful than Gu Kaizhi. Of course, only Chen Wanrong knew about future developments, and no one else knew about others, even Wu Daozi himself could not have imagined them.

It is rare for Xiao Zhizhong to evaluate this.

Chen Que put the teacup on his face, laughed out loud, pointed at Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong, with a look of teasing.

Dou Huaizhen was confused and looked at Chen Que in shock: "Master Shen, why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at the two of you, Mr. Ye. I only like the fake dragon, but I was at a loss when I saw the real dragon." Chen Que still couldn't laugh.

Dou Xiao and the other two spoke Wu Daozi, and kept talking Wu Daozi, admiring her, but Wu Daozi was sitting in front of them, holding a teacup and drinking tea, but they didn't know. This fact was too funny and made people laugh, and Chen Wanrong couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Shen, are you saying that Wu Daozi is here?" Dou Xiao and the others were extremely talented after all, and they could guess it with a slight change of thought.

Chen Que replied very simply: "Yes!" He pointed at Wu Daozi: "This is it!"

"Is he Wu Daozi?" Dou Xiao and the others stared at Wu Daozi together, unable to believe it. In Zhengjiadian, they had seen Wu Daozi. Apart from Wu Daozi's handsome appearance and unique temperament, there was nothing surprising. It would be difficult for them to believe that this is Wu Daozi. You can't blame them!

Chen Wanrong didn't want to make it clear so early, but now that things have come to this, he had to confirm: "Two sirs, they are Brother Wu!"

"Wu Daozi has met two lords!" Wu Daozi could no longer pretend, so he had to greet him.

Dou Xiao and the others stood up, their eyes wider than those of cows. They ignored etiquette and stared at Wu Daozi: "You are Wu Daozi? Have you seen Mr. Wu!" They bowed their fists and bowed with great respect, not much worse than Princess Taiping.

The two of them were too big to move. When they stood up, they knocked over the teacup. The tea dripped on the ground, making a slight tick.

Since they met the two, they saw that they respected Princess Taiping so much. Chen Wanrong secretly sighed, "It is not false to see the common man proud of the Duke and the Duke!"

Wu Daozi replied: "Wu Daozi is rude, please forgive me, both of you!"

"Mr. Wu, please sit quickly, please sit quickly!" Dou Xiao and the other two said in unison, with a happy look on their faces, even more excited than ten thousand taels of gold.

Wu Daozi asked for it and sat down. Dou Xiao and the others also sat down to calm their excitement, and smiled so hard that there was only a small gap left in their eyes: "Mr. Chen, you have hidden us so hard! You have caused us to suffer!"

Xiao Zhizhong was in a very good mood and teased: "I really don't know Mount Tai when I talk about Mr. Wu in front of him! I'm ashamed, ashamed! Fortunately, we didn't say bad things about Mr. Wu!"

As soon as the words came to an end, Chen Wanrong and the others smiled happily.

Dou Huaizhen patted her forehead and said with some insight: "No wonder Lord Chen is full of confidence and said that Mr. Wu is going to paint in Wangjiang Tower. It turns out that you have a good relationship."

Xiao Zhizhong also understood: "I have heard that Mr. Wu and Lord Chen have a good relationship, so I should have thought of this a long time ago."

"Mr. Wu, please give me the ink treasure!" Dou Xiao and the other two seemed to be in a sympathetic manner and condemned the ink treasure in unison.

Wu Daozi smiled and said, "Wu Daozi dares not obey his orders when he meets love."

Dou Xiao and the other two were overjoyed and thanked each other in unison. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Sir, you just watched Brother Wu's "Gathering and Drinking Picture". Do you still remember the poem above?"

"Of course!" Dou Huaizhen nodded and praised: "What a good poem! A glass of grapes and wine, and the pipa is urging you to drink. Don't laugh at me when you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from wars in ancient times! A masterpiece of eternal songs!" He tapped his hands and asked: "I wonder if this Mr. Wang Han is here?"
