Chapter 26 Creative Mansion

Du Ruhui took the drawings of the house handed over to him by Bai Fan and looked at them carefully. He saw that this drawing was very different from the construction drawings commonly seen in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was obvious that this drawing was more distinctive. Not to mention the paintings in it, it was easier to see at a glance. Just saying that the dimensions of each building were marked in detail. Such detailed details would definitely make the construction progress faster!

"Brother Bai is really amazing. He actually takes a different approach without any restrictions. This way of drawing can obviously greatly reduce deviations and errors during the construction process. Even if I don't understand creation, I can understand this picture with this picture! Du admires it!

The other thing is the style of the courtyard, which seems to be different from the usual ones. Can Brother Bai solve my doubts? I often feel curious when I see new things!" Du Ruhui asked.

"This is very simple! Although Fan is not a serious architecture background, simple engineering drawings are still fine! Lord Du has won the award!

My yard is original, called the 'Siheyuan', but it's even more expanded! Look at it, there are three main halls, for guests, on both sides are wing rooms, behind is kitchen, behind the yard is back house, and there are also study rooms, ancestral halls, storage rooms, small cellars, etc., which have different functions! Especially the study room, it must be large, but I love reading and writing!

In a word, my house is not mainly about beauty, but about practicality first! Bai Fan proudly introduced it to Du Ruhui!

Because Du Ruhui could praise himself, he didn't expect Du Ruhui to have more problems.

"This sounds very practical! However, Brother Bai is now a person with a title. Although he is only a county baron now, he will definitely achieve great success in the future. This house is a bit too small! How can you settle your servant, maid, butler and others in the future?"

Ga! Bai Fan is stuck!

Yes! I am no longer a civilian now, and I have transformed myself into a noble and a landlord! Although I am just the lowest-level noble, should I still live a lonely life?

However, I am a good young man under the Red Banner. One thing I pursue is self-reliance. How can I get used to the clothes I serve others to reach out and eat? Thinking about this kind of life, I feel terrible!

As he thought about it, Bai Fan tried hard to shake his head, no!

"This! Anyone who has no relatives in his family is alive, so he is the only one for the time being. The house is too big and it will be a waste! I have learned the sage's scriptures since I was a child and pursued the principle of self-reliance. I am very unaccustomed to the service of others, so I don't need this servant, maid, etc."

This! Self-reliance?

Well, such a self-reliant person, Du Ruhui secretly praised in his heart! Looking at this young man who is about the same age as his child, thinking about the incompetent children in his family, it is really a matter of death, and a child is more than a child! His son is simply a rice worm in front of others!

"Well, I admire Brother Bai's true self for being rich and not forgetting his true intentions! I should say goodbye after this today!"

After saying goodbye to Du Ruhui, the remaining brothers discussed the matter of snow salt. After Li Chunfeng cleared all kinds of traces, Bai Fan finally calmed down! He couldn't help but sigh that although he was poor a few days ago, he only considered eating and drinking every day. Now he doesn't have to worry about food and drinking, but he already has a camp, so he can't help himself! It's really not easy to deal with things, so he cherishes it!

In the next few days, Bai Fan has been acting as a good teacher, bringing his four disciples with him every day and giving him careful guidance!

Among them, Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Huan were only ten years old, so Bai Fan only taught the Three Character Classic to enlighten the two!

However, Cheng Huaimo had already recited the 99 multiplication table. Although his qualifications were not as high as Changsun, he was not as stupid as he was. He was just a martial arts and flirting with literature!

Changsun Chong was a little tragic. He originally became a disciple to defeat his master in order to learn how to calculate numbers, but now it is better that his master is partial and only teaches his eldest disciple Cheng Huaimo, but he asks his two disciples to recite the Three-character Sutra with his two children?

Bai Fan’s explanation is: You are arrogant by nature and need to be polished! When will your senior brother’s calculation level exceed you? Your arrogance should be smoothed out. Then it will naturally be the time for you to learn how to calculate!

Changsun Chong was speechless, is this also a reason? Are you sure you are not making excuses for your bias?

Bai Fan did have his own little plan. Since he agreed to Cheng Huaimo, he would make him count more than Changsun Chong within a month, of course he had to do it! But unexpectedly, Changsun Chong also became a disciple, so he could only teach him counting later. After all, it is not necessary to fulfill Cheng Huaimo’s wish first!

Cheng Huaimo also has his own dark-hearted nature. At first, he was complacent and happy to give advice to his master. But later, when he saw Changsun Chong's impatient appearance, he had a good idea. He must not learn too quickly and defeat him too early. How could he feel satisfied and relieved when he watches him restless every day?

Bai Fan saw all this and silently observed Changsun Chong in his heart. It was your misfortune to meet the bad guy from the Cheng family!

On that day, Bai Fan was teaching his disciples to read and practice books in the study room opened for him by Laojun Temple, but an old man came from outside. The man had gray hair, thin face, elegant appearance, and his three long beards were nearly half white. He had a good complexion. Although he was not young, his face was rosy and wrinkles!

The old man came to Laojun Temple today to find Bai Fan to exchange calligraphy, but heard Bai Fan telling the story of Meng Mu's three relocation to his disciples. He was curious and finished the class!

Then when Bai Fan finished class, he clapped and laughed into the study, "I have heard that Mr. Bai is a talented person, but today I am really extraordinary! A three-character classic for learning to learn literacy is so interesting. The students listen to it with relish. Even after listening, I will remember the sentence: Meng Mu chose a neighbor; if the son does not learn, he will stop expressing it!

If the Master of the World teaches children that they can be as unique as Mr. Bai, then it will be no longer a problem for children to learn to read! Admiration! Admiration!"

Bai Fan had noticed someone outside the door, but he didn't expect that he was an old man he didn't know, "The father-in-law praised him. Fan just explained the meaning of the scriptures in a tone that was interesting to the child, and it was nothing!

I dare to ask my father-in-law Gao’s name, why did he visit?”

Seeing Bai Fan bow respectfully, the old man smiled and nodded. This boy was quite polite! So he also replied with a tribute: "I Yu Shinan, I once saw Brother Bai's calligraphy masterpiece in the Qin Palace. It is really so clever. I'm here to visit today!

I have loved calligraphy all my life. When I see good works, it is like seeing peerless treasures. Brother Bai’s calligraphy has become a family of its own, and there is no other way around the world. I believe that calligraphy is not inferior to others, but I cannot write Brother Bai’s proud book! So today I came here to ask Brother Bai for a calligraphy treasure!”

Bai Fan knew in his heart that it was Yu Shinan, a great calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty! This master was not only a great scholar, but also a great scholar. It was his calligraphy skills that kept him famous for all ages!

It seems that I have been benefiting from Yan Zhenqing today. If I hadn’t written a Yan style book, it would be difficult for me to see such a senior expert!

But this old man should be nearly seventy years old, why do he still look so energetic? Well! I will definitely ask him how he takes care of himself in a while! Well, it’s really unreliable. People come to exchange their calligraphy experience, but you want to discuss beauty care with others? Are you not afraid of being beaten to death by the old man with a crutch?
