209, angry Yan Lide
Although Xiao Lin and the others couldn't understand what the hell Li Tai was drawing, they all knew the tragedy that happened in the Criminal Department this morning, and knew that Li Tai was not only not easy to mess with, but also acted without discipline and did not play cards according to common sense.
If they say something to offend him, it will be bad, and their family will be in danger, so they only pick up beautiful words to please Li Tai, isn't it strange that there are many people who are polite?
They don't offend him with a smile on their faces! And speaking of which, Li Tai is still young, just a child, not as old as their children, it should still be very easy to coax, plus several of them have no background except for Xiao Lin, they are just poor scholars, in case they tie up Li Tai, it will undoubtedly hug their thick thighs!
You must know that he is the most popular person in Chang'an now, he is not only the son of King Qin, but also has the blessing of the immortals, and has the immortal skills that can only be seen in legends.
As for Yan Lide, whose face became extremely ugly with their words, they completely ignored him, not only had they seen Yan Lide many times before, but they had also worked under him, so they had already understood his temper and knew that he was a humble gentleman, not only rarely spoke ill words, but also rarely punished others, so they were not afraid of him at all. Gentlemen can be deceived to say that it is Yan Lide, the Yan Shangshu they respect.
Thinking of the grand blueprint for the future, Xiao Lin and the others unconsciously approached Li Tai and tried their best to praise it.
Xiao Lin praised: "Your Highness, the one you painted is really good, Gu Kaizhi's resurrection is not as good as Your Highness!" ”
Although the other three felt that what Xiao Lin said was a bit exaggerated, they also said one after another: "That's right, Gu Kaizhi can't even compare to a finger of His Highness." ”
"That's right! If Gu Kaizhi hadn't died, he would have died of shame when he saw His Highness's paintings!"
"That's right! Maybe he will cry and shout and beg His Highness to take him as an apprentice!"
"Are you finished?" Seeing Xiao Lin and their servile faces bent to their knees, with a shameless face that they couldn't wait to lick the soles of Li Tai's boots, Yan Lide was so angry that his body trembled, and his lips trembled.
Although Yan Lide is usually a little pedantic, he is not stupid, after all, he is from a family, so he naturally understands Xiao Lin's wishful thinking, doesn't he want to pat himself on the back and curry favor with Li Tai?
He could have understood it, but when they insulted Gu Kaizhi with words, he couldn't bear it.
Who is Gu Kaizhi, who are you, can you compare with him? Even he himself didn't dare to compare with him, it's good for you to say Gu Kaizhi one by one, have you considered Gu Kaizhi's feelings?
Li Tai didn't think much about it when he heard Gu Kaizhi at first, he just thought it was the more well-known painter, so he didn't care too much, but then he heard Yan Lide's roar, and then saw his iron-blue face, he couldn't help but be a little unhappy, isn't it that your subordinates praised themselves and didn't praise you? Do you need this look?
However, Li Tai tilted his head and thought about it, Yan Lide was not like this kind of person, so he carefully recalled in his head who Gu Kaizhi was.
After thinking about it for a while, he remembered who he was, and then he understood why Yan Lide was so angry.
is because Gu Kaizhi is too famous and has too much status in the painting world, and before Wu Daozi came out, it can be said that he was the most influential person in painting, which is equivalent to the industry boss of later generations.
He not only has excellent painting skills, his painting lines are continuous and smooth, and he has the reputation of "spring silkworm spinning", but also has three painting theory books, "On Painting", "Wei Jin Shengliu Painting Praise" and "Painting Yuntai Mountain", creating the basic mode of figure painting, and putting forward painting theories such as "Conveying Spirits" that can influence thousands of years.
Of course, many people don't know just that, but as long as you mention a work, then everyone will definitely know, that is, "Luo Shen Futu", this painting is based on Cao Zhi's Luo Shen Fu, and the painting that was widely circulated in later generations was painted by Gu Kaizhi.
Presumably, Yan Lide should also be deeply influenced by Gu Kaizhi and have deep respect for him, so when he heard Xiao Lin's insulting words, he would be so angry regardless of his face.
Seeing Xiao Lin who was still talking and talking, Li Tai couldn't help but scold: "It's really no eyesight, the boss is angry like this and I don't know it, I deserve to be a petty official now." ”
But in order to appease Yan Lide's anger, Li Tai hurriedly scolded: "Enough! Don't talk about it!"
"......" Xiao Lin, who was still talking happily, couldn't help but look at him in amazement when they saw Li Tai suddenly interrupt them, and their eyes seemed to ask, what's wrong?
Li Tai snorted at them, motioning for them to look at Yan Lide, who was erupting like a volcano behind them.
Xiao Lin and the others turned their heads to look at Yan Lide, only to see him staring at them with a wooden face, his eyes were dark and faint, which made them feel creepy.
They had never seen Yan Lide like this, and they couldn't help but panic a little, will Yan Shangshu punish us? Although Li Tai is good, the county official is not as good as the current management! If you really offend Yan Lide, although you will not lose your official position, you will have to suffer in the future.
They couldn't help but examine themselves in their hearts, did they just exaggerate too much? That's not right! They are old grooms for many years, how can they overturn! Hum! It must be that he is cautious and jealous of our praise of King Wei!
I didn't expect that! Yan Lide usually looks like a gentleman, but he didn't expect it to be pretending, he is actually a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable!!
"Humph!" Yan Lide snorted coldly and ignored them, then crossed over to Li Tai and said, "King Wei plans to use this drawing to build?" ”
"Hmm!" Li Tai heard Yan Lide's unkind tone and hurriedly said. He didn't want to anger Yan Lide at this time and be Xiao Lin's scapegoat for the three of them.
Yan Lide was not polite at all, and directly said the biggest question: "What can be built with this design drawing alone?" ”
Yan Lide knew that those three bastards were now on Li Tai's side and wouldn't help him speak, and he wasn't good at words, let alone facing the four of them now, he couldn't argue with them at all, and he would only bring humiliation on himself if he barely argued with them about whether the drawing was good or not.
So although he was very angry, he didn't quarrel directly with them, but planned to speak with facts, in the end, Li Tai drew a design drawing, if he couldn't work according to the design drawing, no matter how beautiful the painting was, it would be useless at all, just flashy.
With his years of engineering experience and family history, he was very sure that Li Tai's so-called design drawings would not be understood, let alone constructed.
