"Do you want to borrow the "Yuan Yu French Style"?" Mi Youren thought about it and said, "This is not a problem, my father and Li Mingzhong have some friendship, don't say that it is "Yuan You French Style", even if it is editing a new version of the construction French style, it can also be borrowed. ”

The Li Mingzhong mentioned by Mi Youren is the famous architect Li Jie, who was born in a family of eunuchs, and his great-grandfather Li Weiyin, grandfather Li Danyu, father Li Nangong and younger brother Li Yi are all civil officials. His father, Li Nangong, has been an official for decades, and he is still alive today. His elder brother Li Wei was the former Shaanxi transfer judge, because his mother (Li Nangong's wife) died not long ago, and he was worried at home like his brother.

Ding Wei is very strange to put this matter in their family, a father who is almost eighty years old and has just been widowed goes to work every day to make money to support the family, and the two sons in their sixties stay at home all day to be filial sons - no matter how you look at it, it is a little twisted!

Shouldn't it be that the heartbroken father is raised at home, and the two old filial sons go out to work for the official family to make money to support the family?

However, it is also beneficial for the two old filial sons to stay at home, that is, it is convenient for Wu Haogu, Mi Youren and Zhao Xiaoyi to visit.

Because Li Nangong's house is also in the right side of Kaifeng Mansion, it is very close to the tea house of the Mi family - the two old men are also frequent visitors to "Yongcha", if you go to the wall full of big characters and look carefully, you can also find their poems.

Coming out of the teahouse, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren made an appointment with Zhao Ji and Pan Yi, and went to visit Li Nangong's mansion at noon the next day.

Because Li Nangong is an old birthday star, his two sons have not bought a house to live alone in Kaifeng Mansion when they are fifty or sixty years old - "father's separate residence" is unfilial piety, so the Li family in Kaifeng Mansion can only squeeze into one house. This has also dampened the demand for real estate in Kaifeng......

Wu Haogu and the others arrived outside Li's house when it was almost noon. It's not to rub rice, but to wait for Zhao Ji to go down. Zhao Ji is the king of Duan, and he still has the official title of Situ who doesn't know if he is Situ, although he has no real power, he still has to go to the court often...... I don't have to go every day, and I can't go every day, in short, it's a trouble.

After retiring from the court, Zhao Ji first returned to the palace, changed into civilian clothes, and then took a personal entourage, under the secret protection of Gao Yu and others, to the "Yongcha" teahouse of the Mi family.

Wu Haogu, Mi Youren and Pan Yi had already arrived, so they went to Li Nangong's mansion not far away. Pan Yi, Mi Youren and Wu Haogu all handed over the worship post, but Zhao Ji still called himself Zhao Xiaoyi, and did not hand over the name of King Duan.

Regarding the visit of Pan Yi, Mi Youren and Wu Haogu, the two brothers of the Li family were a little surprised.

"Ming Zhong, the Pan family is working on a large project during this time, Pan Zuowei should be looking for you to create something, right?"

Li Wei, the younger brother of the two filial sons of the Li family, said to his elder brother Li Jie while looking at Zhang Juanzi. The paper he read was written by Li Jie, and it was an essay for the exam.

Li Jie, who was worried at home, was not idle, and reviewed moral articles every day under the guidance of his younger brother Li Wei, preparing to participate in the imperial examination after the three-year filial piety period......

That's right, Li Jie, this official, is an unlucky "trick officer", because he was obsessed with miscellaneous studies when he was young, and his efforts in moral articles were insufficient, so he did not pass the Jinshi.

He was not only an architect, but also proficient in geography, history, paleography, music, and the Liubo (a board game), and in addition to Constructing the French Style, he also wrote many works such as the Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Continuation of the Catalogue of the Same Name, the Book of Horses, the Ancient Seal Sayings, the Pipa Classic, and the Liubo Classic.

When it comes to real talent and hard work, his younger brother Li Yu and father Li Nangong are actually much inferior to him. But Li Nangong and Li Wei are both Jinshi, and they are famous outside the Donghua Gate, and they are real heroes.

Although Li Jie is erudite and talented, he is missing a jinshi, so he has been stumbling in officialdom. And Jinshi has also become a knot in his old man's heart, and he is a lot older, and he still wants to take the exam. Therefore, while studying "Building the French Style", he is also studying moral articles, hoping to try his skills in the field after Ding Wei is over.

Although the 60s are a little late, it's better than nothing, right? And his parents are both long-lived, and his health is also very good, after he is admitted to the Jinshi, he should be able to serve the country for many years......

"Hurry up," Li Zhi instructed his family, "and invite them to meet in the study." ”

Even if Wu Haogu came here with a meal, the Li family brothers would not entertain them, because it was the period of Ding Wei.

You can't eat and drink, then you won't be filial.

After the family left, Li Jie picked up the greetings of Mi Youren and Wu Haogu, shook his head and said, "These two are both great talents, but it's a pity that they took the wrong path and spent too much energy on the trail. If you don't make achievements in the field of science in the future, you will have to waste your life after all. ”

Li Wei stroked his gray beard, looked at his brother, who had the same gray hair as himself and looked a little clear, and just sighed softly.

When it comes to talent, he knows that he is not as good as his brother...... There is no Jinshi who can still do Tong Zhilang (from the Liupin Dynasty Official) and will be a prisoner, and among the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the first few people.

However, it is unimaginable how difficult it is for the civil and senior court officials who are in charge of their real posts without jinshi to live in the officialdom.

In officialdom, you can't hold your head up!

Sighing again, Li Wei looked at his brother with some sympathy and shook his head, "Ming Zhong, your article is still a little hot." Look at this paragraph......"

"Really?" Li Jie stretched out his neck and watched his younger brother pointing at his article, his brows furrowing more and more.

His article is not badly written, but he can't get to the point where he must be a jinshi, so he can only try his luck, and Li Jie's luck in the field has never been very good.

And after all, he is old, and his thinking is not as good as when he was young, although his writing skills are more sophisticated, but the things he writes have become smooth and without edges and corners, there is no big mistake, and it can't be applauded...... This is a good article, but it can't impress the examiner.

Such articles can be used to write official documents and write Wang Yan, but they cannot be used for imperial examinations.

When Li Jiezheng frowned, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a servant of the Li Mansion pushed open the door, and with a cool breeze, Zhao Ji, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren walked in turn.

"End...... End ......"

Li Jie's ears suddenly sounded the voice of his younger brother Li Yi full of surprise, and then he heard a commotion, it turned out that Li Yi stood up from the chair and knocked the chair to the ground.

What's going on?

Li Jie turned his head to look at the door, and saw a very familiar young man standing there with his hands behind his back.

Who is this man......

"In Xiakaifeng Zhao Xiaoyi, I have seen two Li officials."

Zhao Ji opened his mouth, naturally he would not say that he was the king of Duan.

It is taboo for King Duan to see ministers privately - he can go to see pro-noble officials like Wang Xu, Pan Xiaoyan, and Pan Yi, and it is no problem to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble together, but the old man of Yushi should only not see it, which is the practice of the Song Dynasty.

But civil officials at the level of courtiers...... That's a different story!

However, Er Li is now worried, and it belongs to a vague area. If Er Li's father was at home, Zhao Ji would not enter the door anyway.

Of course, Zhao Ji still reported a fake name, which is not bad for Er Li.

"Ah, it turns out that you are Zhao Xiaoyi......" Li Jie suddenly remembered that another painter named Zhao Xiaoyi was challenging the first person in the painting, Wu Haogu, but he didn't expect it to be Duan Wang Zhao Ji!

"Wu Haogu has seen two Li officials."

"The younger generation Mi Youren has seen two Li officials."

Wu Haogu and Mi Youren both saluted respectfully.

"You are Wu Chongdao?" Li Jie looked at Wu Haogu again, "I've seen a copy of your painting...... Well drawn! ”

"Mr. has won the prize." Wu Haogu bowed again, then straightened up and looked at the sixty-year-old man in front of him with a little dark skin and a pair of goldfish eyes.

"Mr. is ......"

"Old man Li Jie."

It turned out that he was Li Jie! Wu Haogu has not read "Constructing the French Style", but he knows that there is this book, and he also knows the status of this book in the history of ancient Chinese architecture.

This person is the first person in the history of ancient Chinese architecture!

"It turned out to be Mr. Ming Zhong, who has been admired for a long time."

Li Jie, who has always been younger and has a somewhat mean face, said, "This is my brother Li Zhifu." ”

"I've seen Mr. Jifu."

Li Wei's official reputation is not good, and he has always been known for being mean. If Wu Haogu met him alone, I am afraid that he would not even look at him.

But today's situation is different, Wu Haogu came with King Duan......

"Sit, sit down." Li Yu smiled all over his face, stretched out his hand and pointed to a few rose chairs in the room, and invited Zhao Ji, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren to sit down.

Then he instructed his family to prepare the best "Miyun Dragon" tea. It seems that it is not the three juniors who came, but the old man of his generation, Li Nangong.

"Mr. Ming Zhong," it was Zhao Ji who spoke, he had actually known Li Yu and Li Jie for a long time, but he had never called them "sir", and today was an exception. "I heard you're editing a new version of the construction method?"

It turned out to be for "Building French Style"!

Li Wei glanced at his brother, his eyes full of envy.

King Duan is likely to be an official in the future......

"Exactly." Li Jie replied stunned.

"Maybe a borrowed look?" Zhao Ji asked.

"The old man hasn't finished writing yet...... Li Jie's reply, "and there are still a lot of sample drawings missing." ”

"Missing a mockup?" Zhao Ji smiled, "That's right, Mi Xiaoyi, Wu Dalang and I are all good at boundary painting, so I'll help you draw." ”

What the?

Do you call Mi Youren "Xiao Yi", and Guan Wu Haogu is called "Da Lang"?

The two old brothers of the Li family were taken aback in their hearts - Mi Youren is about to soar now...... If he can get a jinshi, there is a chance that he will be a ruler in the future! In the future, you must be polite when you see Mi Fu.

And that martial arts are good for ancient ...... I don't know how his article is either? But even if you can't get into the jinshi, there will always be a court official who can do it in the future.

Hearing Zhao Ji call himself "Da Lang", and said that he wanted to draw illustrations for Li Jie together, Wu Haogu was also a surprise in his heart.

Although the wishful thinking of accepting Zhao Ji as a disciple has failed, the purpose of being friends with Zhao Ji seems to be achievable.

Let's draw women together, draw illustrations together, design and draw fairies together, and by the way, make a lot of money together......
