After Li Xuan left the Political Song and Dance Ensemble's dormitory, he went straight to Yang Xin's house. However, he was not going to find his master. Instead, he was going to find Old Master Yang's son, Yang Ye, and give him the funds to repair the courtyard house.

After Li Xuan and Yang Ye sat down, Yang Ye said directly,"Yesterday, I went to the National Library and was very lucky to find the architectural drawings of your courtyard house. It was a complete set, so as long as the remaining funds are in place, we will start construction. However, I still need you to describe the main style. After all, although the courtyard house is very unique, some of the renovation facilities are still very outdated, so it needs to be modified. I think the interior decoration of the courtyard house should be modern Chinese style. What do you think?”

Li Xuan nodded when he heard this and said,"Yes, but the main room must be original and have modern facilities.”As the most important room in the courtyard house, the main room was also the largest room. Li Xuan wanted to build a comprehensive house that combined a study room, a lounge, and a living room. Therefore, the antique temperament inside was very suitable.

Yang Ye thought for a moment and then said," Okay, this is fine. The rest will be modern. But don't worry, I won't play with the western style. I'll play with the Chinese style. I definitely won't let your courtyard lose its taste."”

When Li Xuan heard this, he smiled and said,"Brother Yang, I know your ability. Alright, we'll go to the bank now and transfer the money to you."”After saying that, the two of them left the house and walked to the bank. Because the renovation of the courtyard house involved a lot of money, they could only use the bank to transfer money.

After arriving at the bank, Li Xuan directly showed his bank card. Then, the two of them were invited into the high-level VIP room by the bank staff. After nearly an hour, Li Xuan and Yang Ye left.

Then, the two of them went to the National Library and copied the architectural drawings of the courtyard house. On the way to the National Library, Li Xuan looked at the bill that had just been transferred. Although the balance on it was also in the hundreds of millions, it was not much. It was only 300 million. This was all Li Xuan had at the moment. Fortunately, the company he founded had a website and shares in some large enterprises. These would at least give him a profit of 100 million yuan a year, and it would continue to grow in the future. However, Li Xuan was thinking about making money in the future. Li Xuan thought to himself,'Let's wait. Now is not the time for them to take off.'”

After arriving at their destination, Li Xuan and Yang Ye went straight to the director's office of the National Library. They had already communicated there in advance, and the newly copied architectural drawings were also there. When Li Xuan received the blueprint, he looked at it.

Yang Ye looked at the blueprint and said,""Little Xuan, your courtyard house is a little special.”Li Xuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked,"How is it special?"

Yang Ye said," First of all, it's the size and specifications. Your courtyard house basically can't be considered a three-entry courtyard house. It can be considered a four-entry courtyard house. It's only because of the garden at the back that it became a three-entry courtyard house. However, the three-entry courtyard house is more than 2,600 square meters. This is a bit exaggerated. Now that he looked at the architectural blueprint, he understood that your courtyard house was not complete. Back then, a part of it must have been separated for some reason or rebuilt. As for when it happened, he had no way of verifying it.”

"Brother Yang, do you have any good suggestions?" Li Xuan asked at this time.”

Yang Ye thought for a moment and said,""How about this? There aren't many people in your house anyway. Even if you add in some nanny or future sister-in-law, it's enough. We'll renovate it according to the original appearance and add some corridors. As for the main house's courtyard and the back house's courtyard, big brother will think of a way. After all, these two courtyards are too big and empty.”

After Li Xuan heard Yang Ye's words, he nodded and said,"Alright, we'll do as you say." Although Li Xuan's courtyard house had three entrances, it did not have a back room. The back room was located in another smaller main room. There were two side rooms, two side rooms, and the side rooms. There were as many as 28 rooms in the entire courtyard house that could accommodate people, which was enough for Li Xuan to use.

At this moment, Yang Ye asked Li Xuan,"Do you have any suggestions for the back garden?”Li Xuan thought for a moment and said,"At present, the area of the back garden is already large enough, so just follow the existing area. However, you have to leave the bamboo forest inside for me. When the time comes, you have to plant it. It's best to leave a passage in the bamboo forest and then build a pavilion in the bamboo forest."”After Yang Ye heard Li Xuan's words, he nodded and said,"That's not a problem. I'll definitely do it properly for you.”

Li Xuan's back garden was more than 280 square meters. It was already considered very big, so it was enough for Li Xuan. After the two of them finished discussing, Yang Ye wrote down all of Li Xuan's suggestions in his notebook. Then, the two of them took the building blueprints and left. At the same time, Yang Ye was also excited. After all, Li Xuan's project was the biggest one this year. It was enough for Yang Ye to work for a year. Moreover, Yang Ye had told Li Xuan that the project funds were 80 million, but Li Xuan had transferred an additional 10 million to Yang Ye for his last emergency. This made Yang Ye very happy. After all, Yang Ye had never met such a generous employer like Li Xuan, other than repairing buildings funded by the state.

When he returned to Yang Ye's house, Li Xuan's master, Yang Xin, had already returned from outside. Li Xuan went forward and saw a brocade box in Old Master Yang's hand. He said,"Master, you went to Panjiayuan again?”Other than being an artist, Old Master Yang was also a collector. Moreover, he was an expert. Li Xuan had also learned a lot of knowledge from Old Master Yang. Now, Li Xuan had also collected a lot of cultural relics. He had used the knowledge he had learned from Old Master Yang to flexibly apply them.

When Old Master Yang heard Li Xuan's words, he smiled and said,"Yes, but there are too many fake goods in both Dazhalan and Panjiayuan. I haven't found any good ones after shopping for a day, and even if I was satisfied with them, they were all damaged.”After saying that, Old Master Yang opened the brocade box in his hand. Li Xuan went forward to take a look and found that there were a total of three things in the brocade box. There were two famille rose porcelain bowls and a broken blue and white porcelain vase. The two porcelain bowls were also damaged.

Old Master Yang said to Li Xuan,"Little Xuan, what do you think of these three things?"”Li Xuan knew that his master was testing him, so he went forward to take a look and said,"Master, you have good taste. These two porcelain bowls are from the Qing Dynasty. Although they are a little damaged, they are a pair and are still very valuable. The plum vase is from the Qianlong period, but only the circle is left, so its value is not high.”When Old Master Yang heard Li Xuan's words, he nodded in relief and said,"Not bad. It seems that you have already made great achievements in identifying cultural relics. This is for you.”After saying that, Old Master Yang gave the blue-and-white plum vase to Li Xuan. After Li Xuan took it, he said,"Thank you, Master."

In fact, Old Master Yang also collected a lot of porcelain rings. There were even many very precious ones. Back then, Li Xuan had even asked Old Master Yang why he wanted to collect so many broken porcelain rings. Old Master Yang said," Although these rings are not as valuable as the complete ones, they are not bad. Most importantly, these are all real. If someone sells them to a porcelain manufacturer, such as Jingdezhen, they will add a new bottle on top of the ring and then use a restoration technique to make it undetectable. This way, the ring and the signature are real, but the bottle is fake. It is also considered fake. However, because of the signature, many people will be fooled. "Therefore, by collecting these, we can avoid such things from happening. Moreover, we can also use these damaged feet to restore some of our lost technology.”

When Li Xuan heard Old Master Yang's words, he was also very touched. Later on, he slowly took the initiative to learn the identification of antiques and cultural relics from Old Master Yang. Then, Li Xuan discovered that these cold things actually had a huge charm. Later on, he became addicted to it.

Li Xuan put away the broken blue-and-white plum vase and personally cooked at Old Master Yang's place. He made some home-cooked dishes, including Old Master Yang's favorite stir-fried chicken with green peppers. That night, the master and disciple discussed some knowledge about painting and calligraphy. Elder Yang was most proud of painting and calligraphy in his life, and his calligraphy was unique. He was best at running script and cursive script, and his attainments in official script were also very high. As for painting, Old Master Yang had a title called the Master of Esthetics. He had created his own style based on the style of his teacher, Xu Beihong and Dong Xiwen. However, Li Xuan was a little different. Although he studied under Yang Xin, his painting enlightenment was not from Elder Yang. It was the eldest son of his language teacher when Li Xuan was in primary school. The other party was a junior college student who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. Therefore, Li Xuan's foundation during his enlightenment period was sketching like the West.、

This caused Li Xuan's style to be different from Old Yang's. Old Yang's painting style was freehand style, while Li Xuan's was completely different. It was super-realistic. However, not only did Old Yang not let Li Xuan change his style, but he also strongly supported Li Xuan to continue walking like this. One had to know that Old Yang's teacher, Xu Beihong, was a master who combined Western oil painting and Eastern painting styles into one. He could be considered to be the founder and the number one person in China. Elder Yang's other teacher, Dong Xiwen, was a famous oil painting master in modern times. His most famous masterpiece was a huge painting, the Founding Ceremony.

Therefore, Teacher Yang could be said to be very familiar with Western and Eastern paintings from these two figures. Li Xuan could be said to be like a sponge that was absorbing water from his master. Therefore, although Li Xuan studied under Old Master Yang, he was good at realistic fine brush painting and super-realistic oil painting. In the painting circle, Li Xuan and Yang Xin were very famous. First, Li Xuan's talent was very terrifying, and the style of the master and disciple was also very different.

As for calligraphy, Li Xuan was also unique. What he was good at was not running script, regular script, official script, or cursive script. Although Li Xuan had dabbled in all these scripts, it was not what he was best at. Instead, it was a font called the Edge Bamboo Style. This was created by Li Xuan himself. Moreover, the words Edge Bamboo Style were personally nominated by Old Master Yang. Moreover, Li Xuan was also very interested in a type of font, which was Xiao Zhuan.

The Sharp Bamboo Style was created on the basis of the Thin Gold Style of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. Its writing style was the same as the Thin Gold Style, but it was slightly stronger. Moreover, the strokes of the strokes made the Thin Gold Style look like a dagger, and the Sharp Bamboo Style look like a blade. The thin gold body of the press stroke was like a floating leaf, while the sharp bamboo body was like a mature bamboo leaf. Although the Sharp Bamboo Physique was slightly stronger than the Thin Gold Physique, it had a unique charm and style.
