Monument Yangmen

Chapter 35 Two Foxes
"Shi Ke!"

Those two simple words aroused Yang Yansi's nerves.

Most of the famous painters in the Northern Song Dynasty became famous in the second year of Zhao Guangyi's succession to the throne.Before that, only one person dominated.

This person is Shi Ke.

Shi Ke has a weird personality. In order to recruit him, Zhao Kuangyin accepted an official in person, but he resigned from the official position, and now he is actually invited by Wang Qin.

"Wang Qin, He De, how can he invite this boss?"

Zhao Pu snorted when he heard the words, "Which onion is Wang Qin? Someone else really invited Shi Ke. As for who, I won't tell you."

Only a boss like Zhao Pu would treat a fourth-rank Taixue sacrificial wine as a green onion.

Yang Yansi was indeed very curious about the person who could invite Shi Ke, but Zhao Pu made it clear that he would keep his mouth shut, so he couldn't continue asking.

"Speaking of which, Wang Qin was lucky. There are not many talented painters in Guochao, and the famous one is Shi Ke. Shi Ke has lived in Sichuan for a long time, and he usually doesn't come out of the mountains. This time he was invited by Xiangguo Temple I came here to paint Buddha statues, so I was invited to come here. I even met Wang Qin!" Zhao Pu sighed.

If it were anyone else, Yang Yansi would win every battle with a sketch.

However, against Shi Ke, Yang Yansi did not have much confidence.

Shi Ke is now proficient in painting, and has reached the state of proficiency.In addition, Shi Ke is quite famous and has a large group of fans behind him.It is very difficult for Yang Yansi to defeat him.

"Old man, what do you think is my chance of winning against Shi Ke?"

Zhao Pu shook his head in disgust, "Just you? Are you worthy of being compared with Shi Ke? Even if Shi Ke leaves a blank sheet of paper, he is worth more than you."

"Then what should we do?" Yang Yansi worried.

Zhao Pu chuckled, "This old man has a way..."

Yang Yansi's eyes lit up, "What way?"

The old god Zhao Pu is here, "If this old man steps forward and guarantees you with his reputation for many years, maybe you still have a glimmer of hope for victory."

Yang Yansi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and talked about it.Zhao Pu still wants to seize the creative right of the sketch.

That's all!In order to win a game, the creation rights are given to him.

Before, although Yang Yansi agreed to Zhao Pu.But it's just a verbal agreement, and it can be completely torn up when necessary.

As an old Jianghu, Zhao Pu would never allow this kind of thing to happen.Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to settle the matter.

"As long as you can win, you can say anything."

Zhao Pu is like an old fox who has stolen a chicken, smiling cunningly.

"Even if you are on the road, the old man will not take your things in vain. I will show you a way to make money."

Yang Yansi was taken aback for a moment, and then blurted out, "Gambling? Someone already opened the market?"

"Smart boy!" Zhao Pu nodded and said, "There is such a person in Bianjing who personally set the odds. Your odds are [-] to [-]."

"Thirty for one?" Yang Yansi was dumbfounded.

This is how unconfident I am!
"Who made the handicap?"

Zhao Pu said indifferently: "You don't care who opened the handicap, you just say whether you want to bet or not?"

Yang Yansi resolutely said, "Gambling, why not bet, this is simply giving money away. Don't be a fool!"

For a moment, Yang Yansi's fighting spirit was high.

"I knew you were on the way, so I discussed with you."

Yang Yansi smiled and said: "You said, let's give Shi Ke some money and let him pretend to lose to me. Do you think he will agree?"

Zhao Pu said contemptuously: "Don't even think about it, Shi Ke's old house is just a stone in the latrine. You don't even want the official position bestowed by His Majesty, so you care about your little money?"

Yang Yansi also felt that he was a little whimsical.

But that's okay.

As the saying goes, a gamble does not necessarily lose.

The duel painting art itself is a gamble, and no one can be sure that he will win.

Although he does not have Shi Ke's exquisite painting skills, he has knowledge beyond Shi Ke's thousand years.

After deciding to participate in gambling, Yang Yansi began to raise funds.

Some people may think, why gamble for a little money!How good it is to make small inventions and do business, and get a lot of knowledge from later generations.

Yang Yansi actually didn't like this way.

In business, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to spread a large plate, and the relationship behind it has to be strong.In addition, many complicated relationships have to be handled well to balance various interests.

Based on Lao Yang's current position and his connections.

Yang Yansi felt that even if he made money, he would be harvested by others in the end.It is very likely that even his head was harvested.

This method of making money is also too exhausting.

If you really want to use money, it's better to lead the army to plunder directly.

In order to decorate and rebuild Changle Square, Yang Yansi basically spent more than half of the money in his hands, and now he keeps it in his hands, which is only about 1000 taels of gold.

Yang Yansi extended his claws to Ah Qi's body.

Although Ah Qi is a maidservant, every month She Saihua will order the accountant to give him a monthly bill.

Ah Qi basically saves and never spends.

"Ah Qi, the young master has something to discuss with you..."

Ah Qi was immersed in eating the delicious food brought back from the Zhao residence.

"Master, you said..."

Yang Yansi was a little embarrassed to beat a little girl for his own money.

"That...young master, I heard that you have some personal money..."

Halfway through Yang Yansi's words, he saw Ah Qi staring at him vigilantly.

"Master! Ah Qi has no money, all the money... all the money is used to buy delicious food."

For a moment, Yang Yansi felt that he might have made a very stupid mistake.

"The young master is joking with you! Don't be nervous, let's play!"

Ah Qi nodded suspiciously, then sneaked back to the small building cautiously, counted the dozens of money he had saved, and quietly changed another place to hide it.

Yang Yansi saw everything in his eyes and couldn't help sighing.

"Woman! Money is more important than life!"

Yang Yansi was worried about money, and when he was sighing, an unexpected person came to the door.

A dignified woman, surrounded by maids and servants, entered the other courtyard of Yang's Mansion.

Yang Yansi went to receive him, and was a little surprised when he saw the person.

"Cao family... Sister, why are you here?"

Looking at the woman with curtains in front of her eyes and her eyes like autumn water, Yang Yansi said.

Cao Lin took off the curtain and said with a charming smile, "Why can't I come, aren't you welcome?"

"How dare you!" Yang Yansi asked Cao Lin to sit down, and bowed to salute, "I haven't thanked Cao's elder sister for giving me advice before."

Cao Lin covered her mouth and smiled, "It's just a letter, not Qilang's thanks. Qilang, since noon yesterday, my sister has been getting callused after hearing your name. My sister is also curious, what kind of event did you do to let Bian Everyone in the capital misses you."

Yang Yansi shook his head and smiled, "What's the big deal, it's just winning a game of chess."

He did not believe that Cao Lin would not know the whole story.Therefore, Yang Yansi couldn't accept Cao Lin's compliments calmly.

"My sister came to visit today, why?"
