Chapter 384: Winter Solstice (10)

Soon, the three old friends were talking together, and a large group of people rushed over, all of whom came to pay New Year's greetings to Chen Fei. And this surprised Chen Fei, because why are so many people giving themselves New Year's greetings, this is too abnormal, right? Because looking at this look, every official above the fifth grade, and even many of them are higher than their official positions. Even the six servants have it, which really makes Chen Fei a little baffled.

"Chen Langzhong, a little meaning, not a respect! I'm only a few years older than Chen Langzhong, if Chen Langzhong doesn't mind, then call me the old Yan for the rest of my life! The official, surnamed Yan, said.

Of course, Chen Fei didn't dare to underestimate this guy, this guy was a young craftsman, responsible for building palace buildings and various imperial tombs for the emperor, in short, it was the department responsible for building and manufacturing tools for the emperor, which was equivalent to a construction company and manufacturing workshop opened by the emperor himself, specializing in building various buildings for himself and producing various items for royal use.

Originally, Chen Fei didn't care too much about this general as a young craftsman, because the real power of the general as a supervisor is relatively small, mainly in engineering and construction, although he is a little higher than Chen Fei, but the real power is a little worse than himself. Because Chen Fei's military department is a government agency, and they, the general supervisor, are an administrative agency. Government agencies are responsible for decision-making, and administrative agencies are responsible for implementation, which means that the real power is much smaller. But when Chen Fei heard this guy's name, he immediately felt happy.

"Brother Yan, I've heard about it a long time ago, you are a descendant of the emperor! The grandson of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Yan family is also a famous engineering family, after the famous family! Chen Fei said.

And the one surnamed Yan immediately said: "Hehe, do some civil engineering cheap business, you can't be famous!" ”

Although this Yan Liben was very humble, his mouth was full of pride. Because the Yan family after Yan Li himself is the most famous civil engineering construction family in Datang, their family is proficient in civil engineering construction. There are also various talents such as calligraphy and painting. In the words of later generations, it is a famous family of engineers.

What's more, Chen Fei knew that Yan Liben would be a great painter in the future when he was in middle school, and he and his brother Yan Lide were both famous engineers in the Tang Dynasty, and later Yan Lide became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. This Yan Liben is even more remarkable, and later became the prime minister during the Tang Gaozong period. Now Yan Liben is only a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old person, and he has become a young craftsman, and his future is very good. However, he was born in a famous civil engineering construction family, and his maternal grandfather was the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was even more famous.

From the Sui Dynasty to the construction of the Grand Canal in Chang'an, various palaces were built. are inseparable from their family. Therefore, their family has become the leader of all the builders in the world, and their status is very high in the hearts of many craftsmen. Chen Fei was also sighing, he learned a technique, and he was really able to prosper the family. Although the craftsman is known as a cheap industry, but it has reached the point of the Yan family, which is equivalent to being able to make the family prosperous.

"Brother Yan, since you are here, then don't take anything! If you take something, you look down on me! If it goes out. What does that make people think? Chen Fei said.

Yan Liben was immediately surprised: "The first time you visited, why were you embarrassed to come empty-handed?" ”

Chen Fei immediately said, "If Brother Yan is willing, just give me a few pieces of scratch paper that Brother Yan drawn." ”

"You want my scratch paper? No, no, how can this work? If Brother Chen likes my paintings. Then I'll draw a few paintings for Brother Chen another day, which is a little bit of my heart. Anyway, it's just a few paintings, it's not worth much! Yan Liben said.

Yan Liben came to visit for a while, and then Chen Fei received a visit from several people again. They are all officials above the fourth grade, and they are really amazing. And after Chen Fei finished a busy day, he finally took the picture sent by Yan Liben and smirked.

"Chen Fei. Why are you giggling at these paintings? Princess Wanchun asked.

Chen Fei immediately said, "Princess, do you know? We made a fortune today! With these paintings, even if our family declines in the future, as long as these paintings are sold, you can get a lot of wealth! ”

"Really? Isn't it just the picture drawn by that petty official? What's worth it? Princess Wanchun asked.

Chen Fei immediately said: "You can't say that, this Yan Liben Danqing is very skilled, and he will inevitably become a great painter in the future." Even, maybe it may not be worse than Gu Kaizhi's Zhang Seng Xuan! What's even more rare is that he has more political talent than Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Shengqiu, and maybe he can become the prime minister of a country, which can add a lot of added value to his paintings. So, with these paintings, it's worth a lot of money from now on. ”

"Are you so sure?" Princess Wanchun asked.

Chen Fei immediately said; "We won't lose anyway, even if he doesn't make it, we will at most receive a few fewer gifts."

Princess Wanchun thinks about it, anyway, there are really enough gifts in the past few days, all kinds of guys who don't know each other come to give gifts, and there are enough gifts. This has been a good opportunity to give gifts since ancient times, after all, if you usually give gifts, there is a suspicion of bribery, but now at this time, you will not say anything. So if you don't take advantage of this time to send it quickly, then I'm afraid there will be no chance at another time.

"Princess, why are so many people visiting today? Even the six squires have come! Chen Fei said.

Princess Wanchun immediately said: "Actually, it's very simple, it's not that Princess Changle came yesterday, and Wang Shizhong also came, so they all mistakenly thought that the emperor sent Princess Changle to pay you a New Year's greeting, and they also thought that Wang Shizhong looked at you differently, so what if they didn't come over quickly?" ”

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" Chen Fei complained.

Because of the arrival of Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, they thought that Li Shimin sent Princess Changle to pay New Year's greetings to them. How did they know that this was just that the princess had been in the palace for a long time and wanted to come out to have fun. And that Wang Jue actually wanted to come to see Li Wanrou, Li Jiancheng's daughter, mainly not to visit herself. But those guys all misunderstood, and the misunderstanding was to visit themselves, so they all hurried over to befriend Chen Fei, after all, everyone thought that Chen Fei might soar into the sky, otherwise Li Shimin HIA would send a princess to visit? And the quasi-prime minister of the king will come to visit in person? This shows that Chen Fei has a bright future! (To be continued......)
