This article is the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" written by Wang Bo, a son of the Wang family.

It can be said that aside from the ideological connotation, the essays are gorgeous. Among all the essays from the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Dynasty, only Wang Bo's "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" and Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo" should be the best.

There is a painful story in the middle. For some reason, Wang Bo secretly hid Cao Da, the official slave who committed the crime. Later, he became stupid, afraid of leaking the news, so he killed him. But the matter was not done well and was soon discovered. Emperor Gaozong of Tang pardoned him for his death. However, his father was demoted to Vietnam as a county magistrate because of his inability to educate his children.

Xiao Wang felt relieved, so he went to visit. After passing Hongzhou, he happened to catch up with the newly built Tengwang Pavilion by the Governor Yan Boyu. On the Double Ninth Festival, a provincial and ministerial-level cadre built a loft, which was an amazing civil engineering project. Lord Yan summoned the literati together and called many beautiful prostitutes to sing and dance, and asked the literati to write articles to celebrate the matter. After the article was finished, he had to write the most important article, preface. Everyone said: "We can't write, only the noble son-in-law can write such an important article."

These literary elders are not confused. In this occasion, shouldn’t they let Lord Yan’s son-in-law Meng Shi show off?

But Wang Bo also happened to come over to watch the excitement. Master Yan didn't know, so he came to Wang Bo with the articles of these students and asked, "This guy seems to be a handsome young man. How about you write this preface?"

This is a polite word. Then Wang Bo is not polite. He picked up his pen and said to write. He made Master Yan's face so angry that he was like a pig's liver. But there was no way. This was a public occasion and he had to have a little demeanor. He had to sway his sleeves and ran into the inner room. He heard that Wang Bo wrote "The former county of Yuzhang, the new mansion of Hongdu", and the governor said: It was just a cliché. He also heard that "the stars divided into yizhen, and the earth was connected to Henglu", and he pondered without saying a word. When he heard that "the setting sun and the lone wild goose flew together, the autumn water together grew the same color", the governor had to admire him and said, "This true genius should be immortal!" The "Bor was happy to pick up the guest's mouth, and he immediately passed by, without adding any more texts, and the seat was full of shock."

Unfortunately, Xiao Wang wrote this article, not long after, he fell into the water and died of illness while continuing to Vietnam.

This time, the Wang family asked General Xiao Li to paint the grand event of the Tengwang Guests gathering at that time, mainly with the expressions of the guests of Tengwang Pavilion, plus the outdoor scenes of Tengwang Pavilion and Poyang Lake. This painting of General Xiao Li has been more than a month now and has not been completed.

However, Xue Ji's handwriting has been written long ago.

Moreover, in order to make this perhaps the most expensive screen in history, the Wang family also specially prepared high-quality red sandalwood and various jewelry and jade, and also hired a large number of craftsmen with superb skills, including lacquers, carpenters, and jade craftsmen.

Until now, the screen has not yet been scattered, which has caused a sensation in Luoyang City. This is also natural. Wang Bo's articles, the foundation of the Wang family, the paintings of General Li, and the calligraphy of Xue Ji are all orthodox existences that society believes today. Although Wang's paintings have become a little famous now, they are a wild path after all.

Hearing this, Wang Hua asked strangely: "Then there is one thing that boy doesn't understand. Why don't you ask someone to make lacquerware?"

Manager He said with a frown: "We want to do it too, but where can we ask the literary master to write articles, calligraphy and painting for us?"

Wang Hua heard his voice. Baolinzhai's backstage was very tough, otherwise he would not have carried the paint box to sway over the market that day and showed his might to Hanlinzhai. But it may also be an emerging force. As for which force it was, Manager He did not say, and Wang Hua would not ask. If he knew, it would be bad, so it would be better to be in the valley.

Maybe you can invite craftsmen with money, but whether it is articles or calligraphy, it requires everyone's work. If it is ordinary, it is easier to deal with. Now these elegant things are used as auxiliary elements of lacquerware or for public sale. This is under the inferior craftsman and merchant. As noble literati, they naturally cannot accept it. They also sell calligraphy, paintings, or even texts and poems, but they are not sold, they are asking for it.

Without a considerable friendship, it is impossible to invite everyone to help.

Then the existence of this lacquerware will make Hanlinzhai famous. Moreover, choosing lacquerware is also a challenge to Baolinzhai last time regardless of the face of the Wang family. The most terrifying thing is that with the involvement of several other people, if Baolinzhai does not respond, he will fall into a disadvantage, which will ultimately affect the overall sales.

Manager He suddenly raised his head and said, "But, they also have one shortcoming."

"What are the shortcomings?" Wang Hua asked curiously. If Xue Ji was definitely above him in terms of calligraphy, and as for how much he was, it was hard to say. In terms of painting skills, General Li would also be above him. Wang Bo's "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" is also the pinnacle of ancient Chinese literature. Not to mention how luxurious the production is based on the Wang family's property.

"In fact, no matter how exquisite they make, they still cannot be separated from your framework."

The first one who makes suggestions is genius, the second one who makes the same suggestions is mediocre, and the third one is fool.

"So, Lao Qiao wants to ask for your help."

"It's okay to help, but," Wang Hua pondered.

This time, the Wang family made this lacquerware and made such a big noise. It not only challenged Baolinzhai, but also challenged itself. It would not send people to assassinate him anymore, but it would completely suppress himself on the lacquerware and deprive him of the reputation he gained. Wang Hua was a little angry. He agreed immediately. But although the Wang family followed his own learning style, according to the Wang family's momentum, their connections, and financial resources, this screen would be the pinnacle of a lacquerware. Dongshi's imitation makes people laugh, but just like singing, his cover singing skills will also be better than the original singer. He has only one person, and it is not easy to defeat this screen.

Manager He misunderstood Wang Hua's meaning, and he said, "Don't worry, as for the reward, it's easy to say."

Although it is not a battle of life and death, it is also a battle of face. Moreover, he also saw the wisdom of this young man. Although he doesn't want to be an official now, he has a lot of internal news and His Majesty did not give up on him. Maybe he will make a fortune that day, and investing now is also a good thing.

"Shopkeeper He, you misunderstood. When we met for the first time, I said, "I should take what I should take, and I will not deduct what I should get." But the other sentence is that it is not what I gain, and I will not ask for it. People die for money, birds die for food, and the most terrible thing about people is their greed. I will not be so greedy. Just be content."

"That's it, that's it." Manager He was solemnly respected. It was not surprising that an adult said this, or he thought it was hypocritical. But Wang Hua was a young man, so it would be rare to say this.

Wang Hua thought for a while and said, "The paintings of General Xiao Li and the words Xue Jiwu (subscribed to Zhijiwu) are no match for him."

Manager He wanted to praise a few words, but he didn't say anything. Although this young man was very amazing, he would surpass Li Zhaodao and Xue Ji's calligraphy and paintings in time, but it was still a little bit different now. This is a fact and cannot be denied. Therefore, the corners of his mouth moved and his expression was a little depressed.

Wang Hua also said: "But as Manager He said, they learned my production method and could not innovate. And my only advantage is better here. No matter how profound their background is, they can't do this."

Although these crafts are easy to imitate once they are made, they are very simple, but it took so many years to invent them from scratch? Wang Hua made several lacquerware, which contained many wisdoms of future generations, but did not fully show all the lacquer methods of future generations. It was Wang Hua who wanted to surpass the Wang family's lacquerware, although it was difficult, but it was not impossible.

Wang Hua said again: "But this lacquerware requires a lot of things. Among them is the cost. You know, although I made some money last year, this money is not enough to make the next lacquerware."

After hearing his words, Manager He was not worried but happy and immediately burst into laughter.

How much money did Wang Hua earn from three lacquerware last year? It was no less than one million yuan. So much money was not enough for the cost, so you can imagine how luxurious this lacquerware is.
