A silver pot engraved with pine, bamboo, plum and orchid patterns made a "sizzling" sound on the red mud stove, and white mist rose from the mouth of the pot. Heavy rain was falling outside the window, not the light rain in spring, but the common thunderstorm in midsummer in the south. The curtain-like rain dripped from the eaves and bamboo leaves, and the sound of rain suddenly dimmed.

Mi Youren skillfully splashed away the remaining tea, took out the dark green tea powder from the paper bag with a bamboo spoon, and threw it into four milky white tea bowls placed on the short table. Then he picked up the silver pot and poured in boiling water. His hands were extremely stable, and the mouth of the boiling water bowl flowed in was slightly shallow, and some white foam floated on the surface, but it did not overflow at all.

Mi Youren handed one of the porcelain bowls that ordered tea to Wu Haogu, and the other two to his father Mi Fu and Pan Qiaolian respectively.

Wu Haogu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then praised: "Brother Yuanhui's tea art is also amazing. I admire you, admire you."

He and Pan Qiaolian moved into the guest room of Mi Fu's Lianshui Army's yamen yesterday and became guests of the Mi father and son. Today, when the heavy rain fell, they were invited to go to the back garden of the yamen to enjoy tea and watch the rain with Pan Qiaolian.

It is true that Mi Fu's work is indeed a bit out of style. No wonder he was called "Midian" behind his back. Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian came to visit, and he could just meet him. He took them to drink tea and watch the rain in the back garden, which was a bit like a peer-to-people friendship. How did Mi Youren handle it?

Mi Fu tasted the tea and smiled and said, "He is just a mess but not a good one. He is not a good one. He is not a good one, but he is not a good one."

Wu Haogu looked at Mi Youren, "Brother Yuanhui can still ride a horse and shoot arrows?"

"How can I not?" Pan Qiaolian, who was standing beside her, smiled and said, "Don't Brother Dawu know what the Mi family is from?

However, his ability to ride and shoot is just like a good person, and he is incomparable to Lu Qian, a father and son of the Lin family."

By the way, the Mi family is also a general!

Moreover, Mi Youren will be the Minister of War of the Southern Song Dynasty in the future, so he will always be able to do it.

Wu Haogu laughed, "I forgot that Brother Yuanhui is the general's tiger."

"Ten ties are worse than one spirit," Mi Dian, who seemed to be a general, shook his head and said to Wu Hao Gu Dao, "My Mi family is just mixed but not serious, so it is difficult to reach the level of elegance... It is not as good as you Wu Chongdao."

Mi Fu's words were too modest. When Wu Haoguzheng didn't know how to talk to Mi Fu, who had a very high status in the history of calligraphy and painting, Mi Youren suddenly sighed and said, "Father, even if the child specializes in painting skills, he is afraid that he will not be able to reach the level of Wu Chongdao.

These days, my child has copied the "Sang Family Tile Zi Picture", "Twenty Methods of Painting Towers and Towers" and "Drunk Arhat Picture" every day. Although he has made great progress, he knows his shortcomings more and more. He is really much worse than Brother Chongdao."

Wu Haogu shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Yuanhui is so humble. If you use those drawing skills, it will be nothing more than a single one."

Mi Fu glanced at his son at this time.

Mi Youren suddenly stood up and said solemnly: "If you rely solemnly on copying, you will probably spend your whole life, and it will not be as good as Mr. Chongdao.

If you really want to make great progress in painting, you will be lucky enough to worship Mr. Chongdao as your teacher!"

What? What did he say?

Mi, Mi Youren wants to take his own teacher?

Wu Haogu was shocked when he heard this. This is Mi Youren! Mi Fu's son, a famous painter and fake master in the history of Chinese painting, actually wanted to become his master...

Also, did Mi Fu agree to this matter?

When Wu Haogu thought of this, he turned his head to look at Mi Fu. At this time, due to the heavy rain, the light in the house became dimmer. Mi Fu turned his back to the window, and his expression on his face was blurry, but he could still see a gentle smile.

"Chongdao, do you think your child Ren is still worthy of teaching?"

"Mr. Haiyue, are you kidding?"

Mi Fu looked serious, "It's a serious matter to learn from a master. No matter how serious I can't joke about this."

Mi Youren bowed again and said sincerely: "Mr. Chongdao's painting skills are the best in the world. Youren really admires him and is willing to accept the etiquette of his disciples."

Is Mi Youren really going to become a master? Is he going to be Mi Youren's art teacher?

That is a master of calligraphy and painting. He is known together with his father Mi Fu as the "Mi Family Landscape". Mi Youren, who has made outstanding contributions to "protecting" Chinese traditional culture!

Wu Haogu never expected Mi Fu to call Mi Youren to be his teacher... Apprenticeship and teaching painting skills cannot be completely equivalent. Just teaching painting skills, both parties can also make friends with each other. But if they become teachers, it would be "a teacher for one day and a father for life."

In the future, if Wu Haogu meets an opponent like Liu Youfang again, Mi Youren, a disciple, must run around to help Teacher Wu solve the problem.

As for Wu Haogu who wanted to be the first calligraphy and painting business in Kaifeng Prefecture, the Mi family father and son would definitely support him without reservation.

Of course, if Wu Haogu officially accepts Mi Youren as his disciple, he cannot use "Twenty-Four Methods of Painting Towers" to fool things.

I still need to teach you some real skills!

But then again, Mi Youren's natural posture is definitely high. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the brushwork he learned from the "Drunk Arhat Picture" used in Pan Jinlian's gambling battle, he can be called a painting genius.

If you really accept such an apprentice, then the skills that Wu Haogu brought in his previous life will finally be passed down in the Song Dynasty.

As for the master starving to death by the disciples of the church, Wu Haogu was not worried at all, because he was about to become the art teacher of Song Huizong... By the way! If Mi Youren also became his own student, wouldn't he be Song Huizong's senior brother?

Could it be that the Mi family father and son got some inside information from Wang Shen?

This is really a good plan! Not only can you learn masterful painting skills, but you can also use this to bring your relationship with Duan Wang closer.

Wu Haogu turned his head and thought for a while, and finally understood some key points. However, no matter how the Mi family father and son plot, they could not push others out.

Otherwise, not only will I not be able to do the first calligraphy and painting, but I will also offend a family member for no reason.

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu stood up and bowed to Mi Fu: "Since Mr. Haiyue (Mi Fu's name is Haiyue Foreign Historian) and Yuan Hui both admire Wu's painting skills well, then Wu will definitely teach him all his strength."

Mi Fu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for a child to admire Taoism as his teacher. It seems that he will sooner or later surpass the old man in his painting journey.

By the way, I knew Chongdao was coming, and had already prepared a small gift, which was a ritual for a child to meet his teacher. Brother Yin went to take the book "The Eighty-Seven Immortals" copied by his father."

"The Eighty-Seven Immortals" was a bet by Mi Youren to lose to Wu Haogu in Panjiayuan, which is not considered "rituals to meet the teacher". However, when Mi Youren took this famous "author of painting" in later generations and spread it on the tea case, Wu Haogu understood why Mi Fu said "rituals of the teacher".

Because this is a "original work" of Mi Fu's version, the silk surface shows a yellow-brown color, which is natural and simple, giving people a sense of vicissitudes, without any traces of manual production. The characters on the silk surface are vigorous and rhythmic, bright and vital, and there is no trace of copying at all.

Only Mi Fu and Wang Shu can achieve this picture today. If Wu Hao has been imitating it from ancient times, it would be 70% or 80% of its skills.

"How about it?" Mi Fu smiled, "Can my skills still attract attention?"

Wu Haogu praised: "Okay, it's so great... I can't tell that it was copied by later generations. It's clearly the original work of the Painting Saint."

Mi Fu shook his head, stroked his beard and said, "This picture I made is similar to the painting made by your ancestors, and it is still worse than the personal writing of the painting saint.

However, except for me, Wang’s Madam and Li Longmian, there will be no fourth person in the world who has the ability to see that this painting is not the original one.”

Wang Shi is a big player in calligraphy and painting like Mi Fu, and his eyesight is naturally fierce. Li Longmian, Li Gonglin, like Wu Zongyuan, used his lifelong experience to learn from Wu Daozi, and had already learned the essence of the painting saint. Even if Mi Fu personally made a fake, he would not have deceived him.

Mi Fu then said, "But Wang's concubine and Li Longmian are my close friends. They saw that this painting was made by me and would not be pointed out.

Therefore, this "Eighty-Seven Immortals" is a personal handwriting for the painting of the holy man... If I am not at ease, I will write inscriptions and seals."

The inscription and seal are used to directly endorse this "Eighty-Seven Immortals Picture". Chinese calligraphy and painting collections emphasize inheritance and order, and Mi Fu's inscription and seal are a kind of inheritance.

If the Song Huizong's Shuanglong Seal and Wu Haogu's own Seal will be added in the future, and this painting will undoubtedly be the original work that can be placed in the Palace Museum. Even if the original work of Wu Daozi's "The Eighty-Seven Immortals" appears at the same time, it will be regarded as a imitation.

Wu Haogu bowed, "Thank you Mr. Haiyue for your fulfillment."

Mi Fu smiled and said, "A small matter is a matter.

How about the child's apprenticeship ceremony when Chongdao returns to Kaifeng Prefecture before handling it?"
