"No trouble, no trouble." "Please wait a moment, Mister," Yuchi Jingde said heartily.”
Under Li Chen's gaze, he quickly strode out of the Li Mansion with Cheng Yaojin.
"Daddy, where did the two bearded grandpas go?”Yaya quietly leaned against Li Chen's chest and asked seriously.
"They went to make scissors for Yaya. They'll be here soon.”Li Chen replied gently.
"Scissors?" "Didn't Daddy say that I can't touch tools like scissors?" Yaya asked curiously.”
"Those are ordinary scissors. You'll know when you see daddy's scissors later.”As Li Chen spoke, he thought of instructing the servants to make the Charred Willow Brush and stood up.
"Daddy, where are you going? Bring Yaya along." Yaya tugged at the corner of Li Chen's clothes. Li Chen smiled and bent down to carry her.
In the kitchen of the Li Residence, the servant was sweating profusely in front of the stove. On the table beside him were more than ten barbecued brushes.
Seeing Li Chen walk over, the servant wiped his sweat and hurriedly said,""These are all roasted according to Old Master's instructions. Old Master, take a look.”
Li Chen nodded and smiled." Well done. Go have some tea."”
"Ah?" The servant was stunned. It was not until Li Chen gave him another signal that he left the kitchen timidly.
"The willow branch is quenched into charcoal, and charcoal can leave black marks on paper and the ground. The burnt willow brush made from this tender willow branch is really an excellent material for painting.”Li Chen took the willow branch from the servant and continued to roast it.
Yaya nodded her head in a half-understanding manner. She picked up a tender willow branch from the table at the side and imitated Li Chen's actions. She placed it in the stove and roasted it.
"No matter if it's water or fire, you can't approach it alone. You have to have your father by your side, understand?”Li Chen thought about it and realized that Yaya was right beside him, so it shouldn't be a problem.
"Yaya knows." Yaya nodded obediently.
It was now early autumn, and the heat of midsummer had yet to dissipate. In this kitchen with a relatively high temperature, Li Chen and Yaya were sweating profusely.
At this time, all the tender willow branches were roasted.
"Yaya, let Su Wan take you to bathe and change your clothes.”As Li Chen spoke, he called for the maid. Yaya was unwillingly taken away by the maid.
An hour later, Li Chen, who had changed his clothes, had already " processed " dozens of scorched willow pens. The processed scorched willow pens were like chopsticks, and the refill was wrapped in a bamboo tube.
This way, the speed of sketching would be much faster.
After taking a bath and changing her clothes, she ran straight into Li Chen's arms.
"Dad, are these all made by willow branches?”Yaya picked up a burnt willow pen and asked curiously.
"Come, let daddy teach you how to sketch." Li Chen gently held Yaya's hand and asked gently,"
"What does Yaya like the most?"
"Yaya likes cherries." Yaya said without thinking.
" Haha!" Li Chen laughed and sent a servant girl to bring a plate of cherries. He placed the cherries in front of the paper and began to sketch together with Yaya.
Princess Jin Yang and Princess Lan Ling quietly walked over. They watched the cherry on the sketch slowly take shape and could not help but be envious.
"Sir, Sister Yaya has finished learning. Can I draw too?”Princess Jin Yang asked carefully.
"Teacher, sister Si Zi has finished learning, I also want to learn.”Princess Lan Ling also whispered.
"Father, why don't you let the two sisters learn first?”Yaya blinked her big eyes and asked.
In fact, she knew that she was not learning how to draw. It was clearly her father holding her hand. It was clearly her father drawing.
"Yaya, are you not interested in painting with the Charcoal Willow Brush?”Li Chen, who was observant, could tell that Yaya was absent-minded at the beginning.
"Daddy, drawing isn't fun at all.”Yaya muttered softly, feeling extremely wronged. On the other hand, she was worried that her father would be angry.
Li Chen laughed. It was just drawing. He wouldn't force his child to go to an interest class like modern parents.
Whether it was reading or writing, it was a game for those who really liked it.
As the saying goes, a melon that is forced is not sweet. If Yaya had to learn, she might be able to learn well. However, there was no competition in the Great Tang like in the modern era, so there was no need for that.
"It's okay. Daddy will teach you whatever you think is fun.”Li Chen said as he let go of his hand. Yaya grabbed a burnt willow pen and retreated to the side.
Drawing isn't fun? Why did he need a paintbrush?
Just as Li Chen was about to teach Princess Jin Yang and Princess Lan Ling how to sketch, the servant guarding the door walked over quickly and said,"Old Master, there is a distinguished guest coming. He should be arriving at the courtyard at about this time.”
"Got it. You can go down first." Li Chen waved his hand.
After the servant left, Li Chen picked up the cherries on the stone table and smiled."It should be your bearded grandpa. Come, Yaya, Si Zi, Shu 'er, eat this first. I'll teach you how to sketch later.”
However, he was wrong this time.
They were not Cheng Yaojin or Yuchi Jingde, but three men in green robes. The leader was Gao Shilian, who had accompanied Li Er to send Li Chen off after the Qujiang Poetry Meet last night.
What kind of person is Gao Shilian?
Empress Zhangsun and Zhangsun Wuji's uncle even personally betrothed Empress Zhangsun to Li Er. They followed Li Er for many years and assisted Li Er in launching the Xuanwumen Rebellion, trying their best to send Li Er to the throne.
In the 12th year of Zhenguan, he was granted the title of Duke Shen and the official position was the prime minister of the dynasty.
"Mr. Li Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you.”Gao Shilian cupped his hands and said.
"State Duke Shen's words are too serious. My humble abode is naturally honored by the presence of the three sirs.”Li Chen greeted.
"Sir, sir." At this moment, Gao Shi Lian Zheng was about to introduce the other two to Li Chen when a muffled voice sounded. The three of them frowned at the same time.
It was Yuchi Jingde who had not arrived and his voice came first,""These are all tools that I just forged. Take a look and see if you're satisfied. If you're not satisfied…"
Sorry, I had something to do today and was late. I'll try to update earlier tomorrow.）
