Chapter 45
Coming to the street, shopkeeper He asked strangely: "Wang Xiaolang, you have attracted His Majesty's attention now, why are you so careful?"

Wang Hua said: "This is not a place to talk, let's find a quiet place to talk."

"Okay, how about going to the old man's house."

"it is good."

The old man took Wang Hua to his residence.Wang Hua also saw several beautiful maidservants in his home.Nowadays, people in the Tang Dynasty have a very serious custom of taking concubines and raising maidservants. Wang Hua does not comment on this point.

A pretty little maid came over and poured tea for them.

Wang Huacai said: "Because the emperor said so, I acted in a low-key manner."

"Why?" He Chen didn't understand.

"He shopkeeper. Although being an official is better than my current way out. But do you still remember the few "Ma Shuo" I wrote?"

"Remember, what does this have to do with it?" He Chen had seen those two lacquered boxes, and because of these inscriptions, the value of these three lacquered boxes had been raised quite a bit, but what is the connection?Still do not understand.

"I once said that just like horses, Tubo horses have their uses, and Turkic horses have their uses. As long as they are used well, Yunnan horses are more useful than Tianshan BMWs. If they are not used well, they are Tianshan BMWs. There may not be a great use of Yunnan horses. If you can write articles, you can also make some exquisite utensils, but it is difficult for me to be an official. There is also a saying that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will urge it. Now the emperor gives What kind of bad consequences will there be for my kindness?"

What are the consequences?There must be jealousy among his peers, and some potential allies suppressed him because of the conflict with the Wang and Zheng families.

The truth is that it makes sense.But Lao He made him stunned.Brother, you are only 13 years old, you understand these principles, this is simply a genius.Moreover, since you understand these principles, you may not be unable to guard against them.But if you want to refute it, you can't tell.In addition, everyone has selfish intentions. It is good that Wang Hua does not enter the official career. He continues to make lacquer boxes and finds himself as soon as he comes to Luoyang. Baolin Zhai will be a big hit in the future.

Wang Hua said again: "But this time, I heard that the galloping horse lacquer box was also brought to the palace. I apologize to you for this matter."

After entering the palace, Wu Zetian would not covet such a small advantage.Xiangseng Huaiyi, also known as Feng Xiaobao in the folk, heard that the imperial doctor Shen Nanliao was favored by Wu Zetian, and burned the Mingtang to the ground with a fire.The fire lost billions.But Wu Zetian didn't blame him, and continued to let him supervise Mingtang.But because he was even more arrogant, he also taught thousands of Lishi monks at the White Horse Temple. The censor Zhou Ju suspected that he had conspiracy, asked him not to answer, and leaped away.It was only then that Wu Zetian launched a murderous plan, and the palace was banned from confinement to prevent accidents.Finally, she ordered her nephew to trap and kill Huaiyi.

At this time, under the governance of Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong, although Wu Zetian was cruel, she was not a faint king, and the country was on the rise.There is money in the treasury.But no matter how rich you are, at most you can give Shopkeeper He the original price.He also didn't have the guts to make Wu Zetian's money.Coupled with the deductions from officials and servants, returning to Baolinzhai will definitely make a loss.

Only then did He Chen laugh out loud.

Wang Hua's words just now were so clear and rational that he felt a little scary.These words finally made him settle down, he was still a boy after all.After he finished laughing, he said: "Wang Xiaolang, you don't know about this. Our store is different from Hanlinzhai Qizhenxuan. I didn't play any disgraceful role in your case last year. Even if the price later, everyone It was all negotiated calmly. Although it was handed over to the palace because the emperor liked it, it caused us a little financial loss. But there will be many people who accept our favor. This favor is very important, more important than money, understand?"

Wang Hua nodded upon hearing this.What kind of favor is human fat.

Guan Jian is the shopkeeper He thinks that there is no loss, and the next step will be easy.

But He Chen said again: "However, Mr. Xiao Lang's trip to Luoyang this time has created a trend."

"What trend?"

"It's lacquerware. Many workshops saw the exquisite lacquerware you made and imitated them one after another. Some customers also began to like to collect some exquisite imitation lacquerware."

After hearing this, Wang Hua also understood.The technical issue of lacquerware is not the main issue, but the process technology.There was no shortage of excellent craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, and some craftsmen even surpassed him in craftsmanship.His lacquerware is beautifully made, and many techniques are pioneers, which also stimulate people's appreciation level from the senses.

But as long as this precedent is set, it will be easier to imitate.Batches of exquisite lacquerware came out one after another, coupled with the impact of his case, it will inevitably set off a wave.

When Shopkeeper He said this, he felt a little lost in his eyes.He went on.

But no matter how various workshops piled up with huge sums of capital, there is a little less.That is the humanistic atmosphere that Wang Hua refers to.No one writes articles for them, with inscriptions.Therefore, in terms of value, these lacquer wares are still inferior to Wang Hua's three lacquer boxes.Even the lacquer dowry that Wang Hua sold to the King of Linzi became more valuable because it left behind a fresh little poem.

But things didn't end there.Seeing this trend, several major families began to act.Their family originally had a lot of property and had many excellent disciples. Under the order of the head of the family, they had to condescend to Qu Gui and write compositions and paintings by themselves.This has brought the lacquerware industry to a whole new level.

Especially the Taiyuan Wang family, this time the shot is even more luxurious, making a screen.Not to mention the exquisite production, especially to make this lacquer screen reach its peak, even surpassing Wang Hua's lacquer box.He also invited Li Zhaodao to paint and Xue Ji to write.

After hearing these two people, Wang Hua was finally moved.

Li Zhaodao, the son of General Li Sixun and the grandson of Li Xiaobin, the Tang clan.However, Li Sixun's painting style is exquisite and rigorous, especially the landscape paintings, which are resplendent with gold and jade, and are often recommended as the first.It is the ancestor of the Northern School of Chinese landscape painting.He also has a younger brother who is also good at painting Danqing. His name is Li Sihui. Li Sihui also has a son who is famous-Li Linfu. Li Linfu and Tang Xuanzong happen to be distant cousins ​​of the same generation.

Li Zhaodao is the son of Li Sixun.These few people, including Li Linfu, are good at Danqing.But Li Sixun and his son are the most famous.Li Sixun's brushstrokes are powerful, while Li Zhaodao's are full of changes. Some people say that his brushstrokes are better than his father's.Known as General Xiao Li.Although he is less than 30 years old this year, he is already famous all over the world.

But what makes Wang Hua feel strange is that the Li family and his son are distinguished, how can they paint for the Wang family?
There is another reason for this.At this time, Li Zhaodao happened to be the Cangcao in Taiyuan, because the Wang family in Taiyuan had a strict family style, and it was rare for the Wang family to ask for it this time.So reluctantly, agreed.

As for Xue Ji, the background is more complicated.He himself is from Fenyin, not far from Taiyuan.His grandfather was Xue Daoheng, a famous writer, and his father, Xue Yuanchao, was a Zhongshu Ling and Zuo Shuzi in the Tang Dynasty, and a doctor of Jiajin Ziguanglu.His maternal grandfather was Wei Zheng, a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty.The Wei family is also related by marriage to these ten families with seven surnames.I don't know which relationship the Taiyuan Wang family used this time to ask him to write.

He was originally a calligrapher under Chu Suiliang, and he is also a famous calligrapher and painter in the Tang Dynasty.It was later Tang Ruizong Li Dan's son and daughter in-laws. His son married Tang Xuanzong's half-sister Princess Xianyuan.

Afraid that he might not understand, He Chen even explained the complicated relationship.The more Wang Hua listened, the more powerless he felt, and his head hurt.

What is a network, this is called a network!

Perhaps it is a good thing for Wu Zetian to suppress the wealthy family.Wang Hua even thought of this in his heart now.

It's a pity that the ultimate goal of her suppression is not to give everyone a fair chance, but to ensure her own dominance.Therefore, the suppression was not thorough, and finally in the middle Tang Dynasty, these aristocratic families fought back even more fiercely.This is the tragedy.

As for the selected articles, it is even more remarkable.
