To deal with an artist, what is most needed is patience and confidence, and of course, a spirit of perseverance.
Otherwise, how can you get the works of art from those eccentric art masters for nothing?
I saw Cheng Chubi's eyes moving furtively along the way, and he laughed sinisterly from time to time.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Third brother, brother Chu Bi, are you thinking of causing trouble again?"
"No, no, no, brother, you guessed it wrong. Usually when Brother Chu Bi shows such an expression, someone will be in trouble."
Li Ke quickly recalled that he had not offended Brother Chu Bi during this period, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
After rolling his eyes for a long time, he suddenly thought of something and whispered into his brother's ear.
Li Chengqian's expression became extremely strange, and he looked at Li Ke suspiciously, and saw that Li Ke looked like he was about to swear to the sky and the earth.
In the end, he shook his head helplessly, braced himself and rode forward, walking side by side with Brother Chu Bi.
"Brother Chu Bi, I heard that you had dealings with Master Yan before?"
"Yes, when I made a sand table for His Majesty, His Majesty invited Master Yan to help. I have to say that Master Yan is really good at it."
"If I can see Master Yan today, hehehehe... I must have a good and affectionate relationship with him."
"???" Li Chengqian heard Cheng Chubi's malicious smile and looked up at the sky with a black line on his face.
Suddenly I felt a little bit regretful, I should read the almanac before going out today.
But, come on, if you can catch a ride with Brother Chu Bi, you can also get some works of art from Master Yan, who rarely paints for others.
Thinking about it, my beloved wife who loves calligraphy, painting and art works should also be very happy, which is very conducive to my beloved wife's psychological guidance in the late pregnancy.
As for Li Ke, he had already made up his mind, and he could only go with the flow anyway.
If Brother Chu Bi can get a good treasure from Master Yan, he will have a share in it.
The three young men, each with their own ulterior motives, surrounded by a group of guards, were getting closer and closer to the newly built manor.
At this moment, Yan Lide, the general and supervisor of the Tang Dynasty and the great craftsman who was sorting out the drawings, suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and his nostrils itched.
He turned his head in time and sneezed loudly to the side...
#####
Yan Lide found the one of the building in front of him among the drawings, picked up the drawing, compared it with the building in front of him, and observed it carefully and cautiously.
Check to see if there are any omissions or errors, and assign craftsmen to come forward from time to time to measure the height and width dimensions that need to be collected.
After feeling satisfied, Yan Lide would pick up his pen and sign on the drawing.
It's midsummer now. Fortunately, there are many towering ancient trees in this manor, and it's exceptionally cool under the shade of the trees.
Even so, Yan Lide, who had been busy for almost a morning, was already covered in stinking sweat, and he wished he could pick up a basin of water and pour it on him to cool himself down and feel refreshed.
As he continued to inspect the building, he saw a greeting coming from behind him.
Yan Lide turned around and saw the steward of the newly built imperial village running quickly towards this side.
"What happened?" Yan Lide couldn't help but feel worried. Could it be that there was a flaw in one of the buildings?
"Master Yan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness King Wu, and Cheng Taichang came to visit one after another. They said they came specially to find Master Yan. They still held the imperial edict from His Majesty."
When he heard the first two words, Yan Lide didn't think anything was wrong, but as soon as the words "Cheng Taichang" came out, Yan Lide felt something in his heart.
That bastard came here with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Wu, and even brought an edict from His Majesty. What does this mean?
Yan Lide, who was full of questions, could only hand over the architectural drawings to the officials aside for the time being, and quickly walked towards the entrance of the manor.
After a short while, Yan Lide saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, King Wu and Cheng Sanlang wandering around, pointing and walking slowly forward.
Seeing Master Yan hurrying to salute, Prince Li Chengqian quickly stepped forward to help Yan Lide.
"Yan Qing doesn't need to be polite. I'm here alone today. I just happen to have some free time to accompany Cheng Taichang here for a walk."
Cheng Chubi quickly came closer with an eager smile on his face and bowed respectfully to Yan Lide.
"I have seen Mr. Yan. I haven't seen him for many days. How is Mr. Yan?"
Looking at Cheng Chubi, the smile on Yan Lide's face gradually faded, but it was really hard to show off his expression in front of the Crown Prince and King Wu.
He could only chuckle lightly. "Thank you very much for your concern, Cheng Taichang. Everything is fine with me. I wonder why Cheng Taichang came here today?"
"Master Yan, this is my father's handwritten edict. Please take a look at it, Master Yan." King Wu Li Ke took out his father's handwriting from his arms and handed it to Yan Lide.
"..." Yan Lide stared blankly at the words on the edict, then glanced at Li Ke with a confused expression.
He glanced again at Cheng Chubi, who was standing in front of him, looking very proud of himself.
Yan Lide looked at the edict in disbelief and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty rewarded him with this manor?"
Li Chengqian, who was standing aside, nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, my father is impressed by Cheng Taichang's willingness to raise his own funds to establish a medical discipline to relieve the common people's worries about medical treatment."
"This imperial mansion, which is about to be built, was specially awarded to Cheng Taichang for the purpose of running a school."
#####
With His Highness the Crown Prince's evidence, Yan Lide naturally had no choice but to ask the steward to come over and explain to Cheng Chubi himself.
In a short time, Cheng Chubi said hello to the steward, saying that he would send someone over to take over the whole thing in two days.
After explaining the matter to the steward, Cheng Chubi turned around and saw Yan Lide wandering around the manor with the prince and King Wu, and he hurried over.
Yan Lide, who saw Cheng Chubi jumping over and introducing the architectural features of the imperial palace to the prince, glanced at this building that he had worked hard for almost a year with some reluctance.
"Since this imperial mansion has become Cheng Taichang's property, it is inconvenient for me to stay here longer..."
Cheng Chubi laughed and enthusiastically persuaded him to stay.
"Master Yan, since this place was built under your supervision, can you show us the world?"
"Yes, thank you Yan Qing, how about you take us for a walk?" Li Chengqian also said with a smile.
Yan Lide subconsciously wanted to refuse Cheng Chubi's invitation, but he really couldn't refuse the invitation from His Highness the Crown Prince.
He had no choice but to accept the order and led the three people to continue walking around the imperial villa, introducing the construction, furnishings and scenery of the imperial villa.
