As soon as I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw the butler Li Qian just returned to the mansion and got out of the car and called him.
"I have seen the young master, lady, I wonder where the young master is going?" Li Qian, who is as tall and powerful as his son Li Yuanfang, is as tall and powerful as his son. Although his temples are frosty, his eyes are still full of power. As expected, Li Qian is really a tiger father without a dog son. At least when the father and son stand out, they both have the attitude of becoming a top-level door god.
But his left hand was broken with his wrist. It was a pity that he would have been the one who would have charged on the battlefield.
"Do not be too polite to Mr. Li. Now my sister and I go out for a walk with the second son of Duke Tang to Luoshui. We have just come back." He walked up the steps and signaled Li Qian to walk with me. While heading towards the in-house, he asked about his uncle's shop.
Li Qian answered carefully and meticulously. It seemed that he was really a capable person who worked hard and worked hard.
"... Although the shop is in Taipei City, there are no unique objects after all, so the business is average. Why would the young master want to ask about this?" After Li Qian answered, he looked at me with a slightly distorted look.
"Well, in a few days, I will visit the Duke of Tang's Mansion. Unfortunately, I don't have the right gifts in my hand. So I want to ask you, in the store, are there any craftsmen who can make bamboo utensils or carpenters who can create small items such as jewelry boxes."
"There is such a craftsman in the shop, and he is also a servant in the uncle's mansion. If you want to see him, I will call you here now." Li Qian replied respectfully.
"That's great. Please call that person over now." After hearing this news, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. I really wanted to be sleepy and someone gave me a pillow, which would be better.
"Brother, what do you want to do as a gift? Is it really a jewelry box?" The girl who had been following my butt couldn't help but ask, "You sure you can give that thing to Li Erlang?"
I glanced at the girl. "You think that wise and intelligent brother is an ordinary person. Besides, do you think that guy Li Shimin will be in the mood to sit in front of the jewelry box I gave me and look in front of the mirror?"
"Uh... Please brother, don't say it so disgusting, okay?" Hearing my words, the poor girl's face turned pale, and stars appeared in her eyes. Well, that's dizzy. It seems that the girl with a very rich imagination can't stand an overly sissy fiancé.
"That's right, do you think I am the kind of low-level and interesting person? What I want to do for me is an elegant thing." I picked up the brush, took a clean white paper again, thought about it, and then started drawing things. Well, unfortunately, the brush is a very artistic writing tool, but it is really a bit of a time to use as a realistic writing tool. With the water grinding effort of this young master for more than ten years, he couldn't completely standardize this straight line. It looks like a centipede with legs missing.
Forget it, it's coming soon. I'll get some chicken pen to play when I have time. Now, I'll pick up a bamboo carbon next to the carbon basin in the room and take it over. Then I put the paper-pressed brass paperweight on the paper, and then followed the side and a nearly perfect straight line appeared.
"Brother, what are you going to draw?" The girl blinked her big watery eyes and looked confused.
"Didn't you just say it? I'm drawing a handful of elegant things for my brother. As long as the carpenter makes the shapes he's drawn for me, it will be able to make it in one or two hours."
"Really or not?" The girl stayed quietly beside me, watching me do something there, and soon, a detailed anatomical picture of the folding fan was formed under my boy's carbon pen...

"Young Master, it's not difficult to make such a small thing, but what are you going to use as a fan?" An old man, who was nearly 50 years old, came in with the butler Li Qian. After seeing the design drawings I handed him, he said with a look of surprise.
"I'm going to use the best silk as a fan, and in addition, that pendant... Well, can I get the small accessories made of agarwood? I'll use that thing as a fandant. What do you think?"
"Young Master, do you need the best silk on this fan?" Hearing my words, the old craftsman couldn't help but grin. "Young Master doesn't know that even the round fans in the palace need too much gauze to make them light, you..."
I shook my head and said seriously: "Because the folding fan I want to make is not just for cooling off. But as an elegant thing that can be carried with literati and scholars, I naturally have to do it well and make it very well. Do you understand?"
"I understand, since that's the case, how dare you ask the young master what kind of talent you need to use to make a fan bone?" The old craftsman said very well. Although his eyes were still a little confused, he couldn't understand how the fan-wind-wind-wind-sweeping-smoking things were related to those scholars who had always said Confucius and Mencius, but it did not prevent him from faithfully carrying out my orders.
"Use sandalwood as fan bones, preferably red sandalwood. Is there any red sandalwood in the store?" I thought about it and asked. "As for silk, use this." I just rummaged through the boxes and cabinets with my girl before I found a light yellow silk that was about five feet long with dark flowers.
"Young Master, this was given to the old master by His Majesty back then. Are you really sure you want to make that thing?" Li Qian was shocked when he saw me taking out this item.
I was also shocked when I heard this. No wonder I looked like this piece of material was the highest quality. I didn’t expect it to be given by the royal family. It would be good to let it use its remaining energy to give it a little bit of the characteristics of this era for the first new invention of my master’s journey through history. “Butler Li, if this piece of silk is not used, it will be decayed, and not to mention that there is only such a little left, it is not enough to make clothes.”
Hearing me say this, Li Qian nodded. "I wonder how many folding fans are going to make?"
"Just make one first, I have to see the effect. If possible, I will do it later." I thought about it and decided to be more cautious and not make the Great Leap Forward. If it is not popular, wouldn't this young master betray the raw materials?
"I understand, so I will urge them to do it now." After the loyal Li Qiang gave me a long gift, he took the old craftsman out, so he naturally had to make a fan bone first. At that time, I will check it and then determine whether to install the fan.
I have to admit the wisdom and skillful hands of these ancient people. By the afternoon of the next day, the sixteen fan bones had already appeared in front of me. Li Qian even rushed to the shop early in the morning and retrieved a pendant made of good agarwood.
Well, a vivid cicada was carved from a piece of agarwood about an inch long and less than one and a half centimeters wide, and it could be seen whether it was its wings or small claws. Well, I have the urge to take it as my existing one. If this thing is used in future generations, I can change it to a low-displacement sedan.
