Chapter 352: The First Incense

For Dai Qiuyan, the most difficult thing in painting murals is not the picture and the stories, characters and other factors to be presented in the picture, but at a relatively low angle, with people's glasses to observe the paintings on the vault, and this is different from the usual painting of those huge things, the mural also needs to have a very clear decoration. The positions of the arches involved in and around the entire dome should be highly uniform in content, form, and tone, but at the same time present different contents. After a long period of testing, Dai Qiuyan roughly understood the composition of this perspective. Then, in her mind, in her sketchbook, and on the vault, she began to work hard to get the current mural out little by little. In Dai Qiuyan's imagination, when the murals are all completed, what she sees when she stands below is the whole dynamic picture as if it is hanging down from the sky, as if those warriors who have ascended to heaven, pushing aside the clouds and looking down at everyone on the ground, telling their own stories......

However, such ideas are still in the drawing stage. Most of the main lines were completed, and each color block was marked with the colors, transition colors and transition methods that Dai Qiuyan needed to facilitate the use of large areas of coloring, and her many assistants could start working at the same time, greatly reducing the time required. There are some details that have been drawn, and there are some in each partition, on the one hand, Dai Qiuyan needs to test the actual effect, and also in order to define the style of different blocks.

Dai Qiuyan didn't know much about this kind of thing. It's not just about creating, it's more like managing an entire art department, so that everyone can fully understand their intentions and draw the work bit by bit. Although it was not completely completed by her alone, Dai Qiuyan was very serious in the details and never let go of any flaws.

After emptying the field, Ye Tao lay on the ground. His face is facing the center of the entire vault mural, and although part of the content is obscured by the work frame, he can still take most of the content into his eyes, and little by little he can appreciate the joy, sorrow, intensity, sorrow, and any possible emotions that Dai Qiuyan experienced when painting such a large work. Looking at such a work, which is not great at present, but can only be regarded as amazing, Ye Tao has a hunch: The name Dai Qiuyan, in this era, may be more exemplary than himself and admired by future generations.

Although Tan Xiaopei also looked at the murals, he was different from Ye Tao, he didn't have the ability to judge what the final result would look like after looking at the current sketches, and he went to inspect the Gangduo construction site after a little look. There are a variety of municipal facilities under construction that have never been attempted before. And Ye Tao gave a day off to the assistants and attendants who had spent a long time with Dai Qiuyan and basically without understanding the outside world, and he was waiting here for when Dai Qiuyan would wake up from his heavy fatigue.

Fortunately, the arrival of this moment did not really make Ye Tao wait too long. The faint aroma of the awakening incense that Ye Tao lit in the hall diffused throughout the space. Dai Qiuyan was already hovering on the edge of sleep and wakefulness, and immediately woke up with a slight snort. When the personal maid told her that Ye Tao was here, and now she was waiting for her alone in the hall, she couldn't care about anything. Putting on a loose blouse, he rushed out, walked all the way through the back porch, entered the main hall, ran into the hall, and then rubbed it over the ground that was all covered with white canvas in preparation for large-scale painting in the future, and then pounced on Ye Tao......

"You're here." She lay on Ye Tao's body and hid the joy on her face in Ye Tao's arms. "You know I typed the draft? What do you think of the mural now? ”

Ye Tao stroked Dai Qiuyan's head and said, "It's very good now." But how long will it take? ”

Dai Qiuyan turned over, pillowed Ye Tao's shoulders and lay on the ground side by side with him, looked at her achievements all over her eyes, and said with confidence: "I think, about two months." When it comes to fine drawing, these assistants are all good at it, and they are all people who have worked hard in this area for many years, and they are much better than me who is half-hearted. However, there is a lack of a few people who can stably mix the same color, and now it is too much of a headache to have several people work together every time, batch after batch, and calibration every time. The best thing to do is the awesome guys in Kassandra's workshop. Can you help me ask if they can lend me two or three people if they have people available? ”

Ye Tao agreed with a smile and said, "This is a trivial matter. His Majesty has come to Gondor now, and it is time to eat together in the evening. And the elder brother, let's go together. You can get out of it now and stare around all day, can you? ”

Dai Qiuyan smiled sweetly and said, "Didn't you give those assistants a holiday?" Of course, I can't do anything about it. …… I think it's hoping to give everyone a slightly longer vacation. A while ago, everyone was seriously thinking about how to make this mural better, and they have been isolated from the world. Now, it's all about things that can definitely be done with basic technology and experience, and I don't think there's any need to go on like this. Besides, I'm afraid everybody is going crazy. ”

"Okay, let's do what you want." Ye Tao agreed without any hesitation, Dai Qiuyan now has a fairly accurate and sensitive judgment on these questions.

Naturally, after learning about what happened in these days later, Dai Qiuyan resented Ye Tao for a while, but now Ye Tao's okay is the most important thing. Dai Qiuyan also knew very well that if she knew these things when she was painting, she would definitely not have the current work progress, and the opening of Lingyan Pavilion would be postponed indefinitely.

Although Lingyan Pavilion was only a half-finished product, Tan Xiaopei still made a little preparation, unveiled the curtain on the statue of the god of war, temporarily disassembled and dismantled the work frame, and then let the statue of the god of war be enshrined with incense for the first time. After that, Lingyan Pavilion and the entire summit of the mountain continued to be sealed, and after ten days, the large-scale painting work began again. When Tan Xiaopei was about to go to Ye Tao's villa to see his grandson, good news and bad news came one after another.

The good news is that Suo Yong has already transported the treasures they have brought out one after another back to Dongping, and these treasures are now piled up in batches in Sufeng City and Iron City, and the inventory is being carried out, and the sacrifice to protect this treasure is not small. And the bad news is that Dongping obtained the secret file of the former dynasty, I don't know what's going on, the news leaked, and in the circle of courtiers in Danyang, there began to be some weird rumors; And Nie Rui, who has been urging the sorting out of the secret files recently, reported a very terrible situation: the influence of the Miao descendants of the previous dynasty may be more far-reaching than everyone imagined, and these secret files involve many families all over the Middle-earth Continent, and some names that no one expected appeared in the secret files. If it was a long time ago, then it would be okay but the chen family left this secret file to leave a way out for themselves obviously very carefully and carefully the most recent information was five years ago. And some of the names mentioned in these materials make people really tremble.

Most of the Chen family's various businesses in various places are still running healthily. While a large percentage of them make limited profits, there are very few businesses that don't make money at all. After the Chen family was exterminated by the power of the Daoming Sect, leaving only Chen Kai alone, the Chen family's leadership of this large number of industries was interrupted, although Chen Kai's position in Yunzhou, the news was still relatively widespread, but Chen Kai himself did not reveal that he wanted to take over the affairs of these industries, and he did not even mention a word, completely under Ye Tao's disposal. On the one hand, Chen Kai felt that he was really not interested in those things, and it was far less challenging than the work he was doing now, and on the other hand, it was also because Chen Kai wanted to completely draw a line with the previous Chen family and establish a new image of the Chen family by himself. However, such a combination of the two sides, coupled with the fact that many things have been interfering with Ye Tao and Chen Kai, the time has dragged on until many shopkeepers have begun to fight on their own, and some people have even begun to form gangs and factions, and there is a tendency to break away from Confucius. The Intelligence Bureau was able to keenly capture the current situation by constantly sending people to understand and monitor these businesses while interpreting the materials.

What's even more troublesome is that although Zhuo Xianchen took over the guards of Tan Weiya stationed in Dongping in Chunnan, fully demonstrating his strictness and seriousness in Zhijun, as well as his tough hand in dealing with other issues, the situation has become even worse. The reason is that Concubine Lian and Tan Weiya, who can finally stay in Chunnan for a long time, do not support them very much, and this kind of army stationed in a foreign country cannot be maintained by the master who guards them, which makes Zhuo Xianchen very depressed. But Zhuo Xianchen should not have the original intention, as always, strong and steady, unmoved. Recently, while training in the guards, there was a conflict with a small family in Chunnan. And this point was grabbed by Concubine Lian, who insisted that Zhuo Xianchen was not good and that was wrong, and strongly demanded that he be replaced. There were even some families who, under the pampering and connivance of some people, began to gather clan soldiers to surround the guards, but fortunately, Duke Yan took action and connected the entire guards and Zhuo Xianchen and others to a manor of the Song family. Now, Concubine Lian is increasingly showing her disagreement with Dongping and her ambition for power, which makes Tan Xiaopei very dissatisfied, but there is nothing she can do to change the situation for the time being.
