The princess hurried over to pick up the scroll, pulled her daughter to apologize to Yan Liben, but the child did not lie, and said whatever he saw, and insisted on pointing at the scroll and saying it was ugly, which was not as good as his father's painting.

This aroused Yan Liben's curiosity, "The prince consort is also proficient in calligraphy and painting?"

Du Shaoqing shook his head and thought to himself, where can I paint?

"Dad, you have painted Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf for me, as well as Snow White, Cats and Mouses... so many cute kids, so beautiful," Xiao Xuanxuan said afterwards.

Yan Liben smiled, not understanding what to be modest about this?

"Since the child has said it, why don't the prince-consort show his skills? I have had this big preference in my life, that is, painting. When I meet an expert, I must learn something."

Du Shaoqing was almost crying. I was drawing simple cartoon characters. Can I compare with Chinese painting masters like Yan Liben?

Who knew that the princess also urged her to never see her husband's paintings like, so Du Shaoqing could only bite the bullet and say give it a try, so she found a piece of charcoal and drew a sketch of Xiao Xuanxuan.

The princess and daughter were both shocked. It was too similar. She was about to catch up with the real person. Xiao Xuanxuan was moved and hugged Du Shaoqing and kissed her.

Yan Liben sighed, "The portrait of the prince consort is good at painting, and charcoal painting is probably the only one in the world. It is different from the traditional ink painting pursuit of vividness. Your pure appearance is actually very different, and it is amazing and admirable!"

"Although I also like the beautiful portraits my father painted for me, the good-looking pictures I mentioned are not this. The gray wolf painted by Dad is the best. I also have a pair of puppets..." Xiao Xuanxuan held up her portrait and showed off to Yan Liben.

Du Shaoqing smiled bitterly and said, "It's just another thing called simple drawing, which is played by children."

As he said that, he drew two more cartoon figure paintings. Seeing this animal's adult figure, it was full of childlike fun. Yan Liben was very eye-opening and did not mention anything that would do the official duties of the junior supervisor. He pulled Du Shaoqing to talk about painting.

If the princess hadn't said she was in a hurry to find someone, I'm afraid this illegitimate painting fan would have been able to chat with Du Shaoqing for three days.

In Yonghefang west of Chang'an City, Du Shaoqing came to a simple courtyard alone. This is the architectural master introduced by Yan Liben, named Yuwenzhe. His grandfather was the famous Yuwen Kai. During the pre-Sui Emperor Wen, Yuwen Kai was responsible for building the capital Daxing City, which is now Chang'an City.

This powerful grandson is probably not inferior to that of Yan Liben’s brothers, and they are all architectural families.

Du Shaoqing visited the door with a gift, and the door was opened by a young boy in his twenties.

"Is your father at home? My name is Du Shaoqing, and I came to find Senior Yuwenzhe by someone." Du Shaoqing asked.

The other party was stunned for a moment, looked at Du Shaoqing, and said jokingly: "Du Shaoqing? You should be Doctor Du from Chang'an, who introduced you to me?"

"Uh, that's right, it's just my fault, I'm taking the blame! I'm going to introduce the young supervisor Yan Liben."

Who would have thought that this young boy suddenly burst into laughter, "You're afraid you were cheated by a guy named Yan. Did he ask you to come and find someone and didn't tell you the age of that person?"

How did you say this? Du Shaoqing was puzzled, and then looked at the child's strange expression. Du Shaoqing suddenly realized, "You, you can't be Yuwenzhe, are you?"

"Hahahaha, that's right, it's this senior!" The boy inside could not stand up straight after laughing.

Du Shaoqing felt speechless. Yan Liben wasn't trying to cheat me on purpose, right? He asked me to find a kid? No matter how he looked like a funny guy.

"Sorry, maybe I found the wrong person. What I was looking for is an architect who is no less than Yan Liben. It seems that you are not, so I have disturbed you!" Du Shaoqing did not enter the door and bowed to his goodbye.

Who knew that the boy in the door shouted: "I am no less than Yan Liben's architect, no, I am better than him."

Du Shaoqing turned around and gave a questioning look, but the other party mocked: "You, Du Shaoqing, in his early twenties, surpassed Sun Zhenren's medical skills, and I, Yuwenzhe, were not allowed to understand the unique skills of the family at the age of 25?"

This... Du Shaoqing was stunned. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. So he judged people by his appearance?

When Yuwenzhe saw Du Shaoqing figured it out, he turned his head and said, "Come in and say, I really want to know what that guy Yan Liben asked you to do with me? Let me tell you first, I will not deal with the Yan family, so you'd better not say the wrong thing."

Du Shaoqing entered the door with a wry smile, thinking that everything is there. Could it be that Yan Liben introduced me to an enemy?

After hearing Du Shaoqing's intention, Yuwenzhe thought for a moment and asked a question: "You said you want me to lead your construction team, how many people do you have? How large is the project? I don't like small buildings one by one, unless it is a large-scale project like Tai Chi Palace and Daming Palace."

Du Shaoqing wondered: "You are not famous at a young age, so where did you get such a big breath? Could it be that you can still have the ability to build a country's capital?"

Yuwenzhe said proudly: "Grandfather can, why can't I? Do you know why I don't deal with the Yan family? It's because I don't like their behavior of competing for the power of the emperor.

My grandfather built the entire Chang'an City, planned all places, above and below, water supply and sewage, drought and flood prevention, etc., not for the emperor's reward, but for the benefit of all the people living in the city. I am determined to surpass my grandfather."

Du Shaofei nodded, a little admiring, but he said in confusion: "You are talking so much, isn't it a bit far away? Can you take over my project?"

Yuwenzhe was choked and said angrily: "Yan Liben is not as good as me as the young supervisor. His brother Yan Lide tied with me. If I can't do it, he will introduce you to me. Fortunately, you are still the number one talented man. You are so stupid, so you should give way."

After chatting for so long, Du Shaoqing probably knew what this kid was, so he explained: "I have tens of thousands of laborers under my command, but unfortunately there is no leader in the group.

The project I want to do is to start the reconstruction of Changle Home and renovate the living conditions in Chang'an City. The city's housing planning is very chaotic now. If it is not renovated and rebuilt, once the population of the city increases sharply in the future, it may not be able to manage it."

Yuwenzhe's eyes lit up, thinking that if this thing was really done, it would not be a small project. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I've taken this task. In fact, after living in Chang'an for so many years, I have long disliked the complex buildings inside this city."
