The third grandfather called by Yan Lu is Yan Mingbing, the third brother of Yan Mingjiang, the head of the Yan family.

Yan Mingbing is an official in Fujian Province, and he is also a representative figure of the Yan family in the officialdom.

Yan Mingbing is a graduate of the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and has a deep study of architecture, such as the small villa where Yan Guangbei, the old man of the Yan family, lives, was designed by Yan Mingbing, and he personally supervised the construction.

Although this small courtyard is small, it is Yan Mingbing's proud work.

The charm of the building is not only solid and beautiful, but also the integration of too many things into the building, such as humanities, gardens, feng shui and so on.

Creating a majestic landscape in a large place is just as similar to designing a different landscape in a small place.

Just like this small courtyard, in the layout of the landscape, it is beautiful but not complicated, simple and substantial, one step at a time, Yan Mingbing has worked this courtyard.

But Yan Mingbing never mentioned to anyone the effort he spent on designing this small courtyard.

Just hearing Wu Ziyu's admiration, Yan Mingbing suddenly felt like he had met a bosom friend.

Yan Mingbing was born in a wealthy family and is talented in his own right, but he thinks very highly of himself, and idlers don't look down on him at all, but he has a different feeling for the young man in front of him.

"I got off the plane yesterday and came here last night. "Yan Mingbing is very kind.

Yan Mingbing also has a very good impression of the eldest brother's granddaughter, Yan Lu, who knows how to advance and retreat, knows etiquette, and most importantly, is not publicity.

"Third grandfather, by the way, is grandpa Tai up?" Yan Lu knew that grandpa Yan Guangbei had a habit of getting up early in the morning, but he was old and not in good spirits, and he always had to sleep at ninety o'clock in the morning.

"Not yet, just fell asleep, what's the matter? You're going to bring your boyfriend to show your grandfather?"

"Third grandfather, you, me, you are bad. Yan Lu didn't expect Yan Mingbing to make such a joke with herself, and she was out of ground for a while.

"Come, come, sit down first, I'll talk to him. "Yan Mingbing took the initiative to talk to a young man, and there are not many such times.

In this small courtyard, there is a semi-open conservatory, the indoor is very warm, you can enjoy the snow and see the scenery, make a pot of tea, and talk with three or two friends, which is very wonderful.

"Young man, you also have some research on architecture?"

"I don't dare to do research, but the use of layout, space, and structure in Chinese architecture is indeed beautiful, and it integrates art, garden, and feng shui, this kind of beautiful thing, and it is not a bad thing to know a little. ”

"Hehe, that's a good point, I also feel that Chinese architecture is indeed great, and it covers all aspects of life, by the way, you also studied architecture?

"I didn't study architecture, but I just had some experience in architecture, but in fact, this is not a experience, it can only be said to be a bypass. ”

"Oh, what do you think is the most important thing about architecture?"

Although Yan Mingbing feels that Wu Ziyu is very talented, but the young man speaks a little unconcernedly, I praise you for being very level, you should be humble and embarrassed, but what do you say about the bypass, doesn't this mean that I praise you, isn't it worth mentioning at all?

Yan Mingbing's question, although simple, but it is difficult to answer, if you talk about the elements of architecture, there are many, such as the use of space, the ingenuity of the layout, the compact structure, these are very important, even the landscape construction after the building, garden design, and the use of feng shui, can make a building produce the effect of one plus one is greater than two, and even has the effect of turning decay into magic, so if you want to say the most important point, it is really hard to say.

"In fact, architecture is a systematic project, and many aspects are indispensable, but if I want to say the most important thing, I summarize it in two words: yin and yang. ”

"Yin and Yang?" Yan Mingbing first heard this statement, and attributed the most important factor of architecture to Yin and Yang. At first glance, I feel that some donkey lips are not in the horse's mouth, but when I touch it carefully, the words yin and yang really tell the magic of architecture.

The layout has yin and yang, and the building must consider lighting, where there is light, it is naturally yang, and a good building needs to have water, where there is water, where there is back, it is naturally yin.

Architecture should also consider the use of space, grand space, small space has its own wonderful use, some places need large space, visual feeling bright, some places need small space, small space can also be small in the big, giving people a sense of security. This bright place is naturally yang, and the small place is naturally yin.

Structurally, there is also yin and yang, according to the explanation of "Zhou Yi", the singular number is yang, the double number is yin, some places of the building, there must be a singular number, and some places must need a double number, in a building, yin and yang must be balanced, so the singular number of things, even things must be stored zài.

Gardens, feng shui, these are not yin and yang.

Therefore, Wu Ziyu's yin and yang made Yan Mingbing nod his head, which felt very wonderful.

"Well said, well said, yin and yang, yes, it is yin and yang. ”

Yan Mingbing worked in the Construction Bureau and the Design Institute when he was young, and he started from the lowest level of the Construction Bureau until he reached the provincial and ministerial level, and he made great contributions step by step in the field he was in charge of. In the past, he designed a building, then he planned a street, and finally, he planned an entire city, and now, his vision has already jumped out of a city and a place, and has turned to face the whole province, and even the whole country.

The power of his family is the fuel of his success, but his own talent is also indispensable.

In the process of this step-by-step, Yan Mingbing can be said to be familiar with architecture, whether it is vision or design, he feels that he has already surpassed the building itself.

Even with Yan Mingbing's insight, he still didn't expect that architecture could be summed up in the words yin and yang. As small as a house, as big as a country, there must be yin and yang, architecture is yin and yang, planning is yin and yang, and even the whole country is not yin and yang!

From the words yin and yang, Yan Mingbing thought a lot, in terms of employing people, there are upright doers, flattering villains, strong-willed, and swaying walls. At the national level, some policies need to be implemented effectively, while others need to be transitioned. Even the relationship between countries is rigid and soft, it should be tough and tough, and it should be soft and soft.

Yan Lu poured tea for the two of them next to him, Yan Lu also has some attainments in tea art, but Yan Mingbing really doesn't have time to appreciate his granddaughter's tea art, he thinks about a lot of things, far away.

Chatting from the building, Yan Mingbing found that Wu Ziyu, a young man, although he was not very old, had a furrow in his chest. Whether it is talking and doing things, or knowledge reserves, they are far beyond today's young people, and even Yan Mingbing feels that Wu Ziyu knows more than he knows in many aspects, and has his own unique indirect knowledge of some extremely unpopular things, such as history and feng shui.

"Ziyu, I call you that, no problem, right?" After getting Wu Ziyu to put in the shaking of his head, Yan Mingbing continued, "If it weren't for the fact that I knew that you were only in your twenties, I would have suspected that I was talking to and chatting with the experts of the two academies, oh, no, even the experts of the two academies are only one aspect of talent, but you, I feel that you are simply an all-rounder, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a genius." ”

Yan Mingbing actually has a very high vision, but he is not stingy with Wu Ziyu's praise.

"Third brother, who do you say is a genius?" As he was talking, Yan Mingjun and the eldest brother Yan Mingjun pushed open the door and asked.

When Yan Mingjun and Yan Mingjun heard that the third brother had returned, they also rushed to Yuquan Mountain to see Yan Mingbing.

The current Yan Mingbing is the hope of the Yan family in the political arena, although he is the youngest of the three brothers of the Yan family, but he has a very high status in the Yan family.

"Hey, eldest brother, second brother, come, let me introduce you to the genius I just mentioned, that is, he, Wu Ziyu, if you come an hour late, I will almost have to have a relationship with him. ”

General Yan Mingjun and Yan Mingjun were surprised when they heard that the third brother had such high requirements for Wu Ziyu, especially since this person was still called Wu Ziyu.

Yan Mingjun and Yan Mingjun are not the first time they have heard the name Wu Ziyu, the previous Malaysia Airlines lost the passenger plane, Yan Lu disappeared with Wu Ziyu, according to Yan Lu, it was he who saved himself. Later, after coming back, Yan Lu mentioned Wu Ziyu again, saying that she wanted the family to help find it, but the family didn't take it seriously.

Later, Yan Mingjiang and Yan Mingjun both saw that Yan Lu's feelings for Wu Ziyu were a little wrong, and they wanted Yan Lu to marry the Ye family, so they had listed Wu Ziyu as one of the Ye family's undesirable people.

Now Wu Ziyu has such a high evaluation in Yan Mingbing's mouth, which makes the two of them look at each other a little. In fact, when Yan Mingjun first entered the door and saw Yan Lu there, he had already guessed who this young man was.

"Third brother, our Yan family is not a family that casually relates to others. Yan Mingjun was very unhappy with his brother's words.

Yan Mingbing was stunned, he didn't expect his second brother to say this, what he just said was not an exaggeration, this young man does have wisdom and talent that ordinary people do not have.

"By the way, third brother, you come back this time, our three brothers have a good reunion, you haven't been back for a year. Yan Mingjiang saw that the third brother's face was a little bad, and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Okay, in the evening, I'm going back tomorrow, there are too many things in the province, hey, in the officialdom, I can't help myself. ”

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Zhang to prepare the dishes early. ”

Yan Ming sat down the three brothers, Wu Ziyu did not sit down, he did not dare to sit, but he did not want to sit, sitting and chatting with people who had a common language was a happy thing in life, and sitting with those who were unwilling to bend and flatter was pure sin.

A cultivator should have a clear mind and not be stuck in external things.

This truth was also realized by Wu Ziyu after he got out of officialdom.

Yan Lu has always been by her side, of course she saw the hostility of her grandfather and second grandfather towards Wu Ziyu. Yan Lu stood up, "Grandpa, second grandpa, third grandpa, I'll go see grandpa!"
