The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yun Yanhui and Zheng Ling went to find a lot of suitable sinking woods and stones for landscaping. They also consulted Yu Hao in this regard and asked him for some help.

Yun Yanhui prepared five tanks. The first idea was the Crystal Palace, presenting a fantasy submarine crystal palace, and the building was really made with Yu Hao's help.

The fishes in this tank are as important as the water plants. In addition to the weird water plants and rocks, a group of brightly colored fish swimming around will definitely allow people to enter the scenery at once.

The second, third, and fourth are valleys, forests and gardens, respectively, and the fifth is a water and land view, which is half a water view and half a land view.

This kind of landscaping is very wonderful. There are mountains, trees, pavilions and bridges in the high land of the landscape, and water plants grow on the bottom of the water. Fishes swim around. The perspective is very unique.

These water plant tanks are all designed by Zheng Ling, and each of them is a big tank.

Big, just spectacular.

However, it took a lot of time. It took almost a month to select suitable landscaping items, and some fish had to be brought in specially.

However, these are all worthwhile.

Start by setting up the scenery and sprinkle soil. Some water plants can be planted directly, and some need to be sprinkled with seeds. When the grass grows slowly, be careful of algae crawling on the wall of the tank.

It is too troublesome to clean up every day, so they put some small fish or snails that eat algae in to balance the biosphere.

Different tanks put different creatures, and some tanks hardly need to be put.

In this process, Zheng Ling feels that his level has been greatly improved, and the art is connected.

Yun Yanhui also had a special sense of accomplishment. After he finished, he said to Yu Hao with emotion, no wonder you like architecture so much. If I set up such a small scene, I feel that I am so good. It is hard to imagine that after the construction of your design is completed , How satisfied you should be.

Yu Hao was stunned, then laughed loudly, "Brother Yan, you are such a wonderful person."

Yun Yanhui is a bit inexplicable.

Yu Hao felt with emotion, no matter how superb his skills, the world always regards him as a "craftsman" and despise him. However, Yun Yanhui's attitude towards him, from the very beginning, could feel that it was different from others. There is no slightest contempt, or even respect.

These few words today made Yu Hao even more aware that Yun Yanhui sincerely respected him.

For Yun Yanhui, who has a different social growth experience, it is quite natural. He doesn't feel it in his heart, so the opposite is a bit inexplicable.

…

While Yun Yanhui continued to refine the details of the aquatic tank, he and Zheng Ling also bought the house next to the farm, specifically buying sinking wood, stones, and aquatic plants, as well as placing glass tanks. It has been decided to start the business of the water plant together.

It took nearly three months for these five tanks to be set up. In May, Renzong hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain the officials. Yun Yanhui just reported that the aquarium was completed, and Renzong invited the officials to give a reward.

A dozen powerful servants moved out the water tanks covered with black cloth one by one. These tanks are very large and have two arms at every turn. They are heavy and heavy on the table.

After the black cloth was lifted, there were strange underwater worlds.

The crystal palace carved by corals stands tightly in the swaying water weeds. A group of finger-sized small fishes are dragging their tails to and from outside or inside the crystal palace. People feel in a daze that the Crystal Palace is glowing...

The vines are drooping, and the tangled roots are covered with green water plants, like towering trees, and weird mountains and rocks stand up. This is an unmanned valley.

The little yellow crab crawled over the sand and gravel under the water, followed a part of the tree roots extending into the bottom of the water and climbed up to the shore, crossing across a small bridge to the opposite bank...

…

For a long time, there was no sound in the huge palace, only breathing.

It can only be described as shock, this is the nature in the glass tank, the miniature world under the water, which makes everyone indulged in it.

"You Aiqing are busy with national affairs and have no time to appreciate thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. However, this method will allow everyone to not travel thousands of miles and enjoy the beautiful scenery." Renzong smiled and said authentically, and gave three of the tanks to the prime minister and imperial court on the spot. Director Shi Tai and several confidants of Bao Zheng.

When Renzong spoke like this, the scene boiled like a frying pan.

The ministers were full of praise for the aquarium, and only hated that they could not get one.

Indeed! After seeing these tanks, do anyone dare to claim that they have fish tanks at home? But nothing more than the container!

In the future, you will raise fish and tortoises, but are you embarrassed to use ordinary tanks to decorate water and pebbles to raise aquariums? Isn't it crude!

Renzong also told everyone very generously that these were made by the children of Zheng Zhiyuan's family. If you want, you can go to his place to make reservations-yes, it is the house that produces green turtles. Moreover, the design was completed by Hanlin waiting for Zheng Feibo.

Zheng Ling was a little dizzy.

It's nothing more than Yunyan's return. Now he is well-known in a small area, and he has won the favor of officials-is there any way he can invest in his small treasury to develop real estate?

But Zheng Ling, their family, has never been so praised.

After agreeing to Zheng Ling to enter the painting academy, Zheng Ling gave up on him, and followed him to pursue his ideals.

However, now, my colleagues praised the water plant tank to the sky, exaggerating philosophy, exaggerating elegance, not to mention that the officials are also very popular...Zheng Ling suddenly felt a very long face.

Especially when everyone gathered around and asked him to talk, open the back door for them or something.

—This may also be due to a lot of lower expectations.

Inexplicably moved, Zheng Ling decided to go back and praised Zheng Ling. It was not in vain that the whole family secretly took care of his business.

Zheng Ling was not qualified to participate in this day's banquet. When Zheng Ling returned home and ordered him to pass, he was still a little nervous.

"Aweng, why are you looking for a child?"

Zheng Xun also didn't go to today's banquet. He wondered if a villain had satirized Zheng Ling in front of Zheng Ling, so he followed worriedly. At this time, he was surprised to see that his unsmiling father, holding Zheng Ling's hand with a smile, praised him.

Zheng Xun: "..."

After listening to the content, Zheng Xun was numb.

Zheng Xun really convinced the little cousin of Ge Yan. Feibo followed Ge'er, and even raised turtles to raise such a big move. Some time ago, I heard that the green turtles and water tanks given out as national gifts are also very popular. Now there is another wave in China.

—

Zheng Xun took his colleague Ling Xu to the green turtle farm. Next to this farm, there is now a store called "Water Scenery".

Outside Shui Jing Ji, there are many stalls selling aquariums, including fish, shrimps, snails, and crabs. There are also many people who are choosing them.

Shui Jing Ji opened in a low-key manner about half a month after the May Festival banquet, and there was not even an opening ceremony, which is quite different from the opening of Yu Sun Hong. However, since the opening day, many dignitaries have come to patronize, and they have become the best signs.

The wind of water tank landscaping started from the upper level. Now it is the most fashionable thing in Bianjing. Because everyone is inexperienced, buying or asking for advice from Shuijingji has become the best way to "enter the circle".

Those who love raising aquariums are the first to follow suit. But now, there are also some people who fall in love with aquatic plants. Those plants of various shapes, combined with driftwood and stones, can simulate almost all the scenery on land.

This colleague of Zheng Xun, Ling Xu, is also a newcomer. He knows that Zheng Xun is the father of the boss of Shui Jingji, so he asked him to go shopping with him.

Seeing the lively scene outside Shui Jingji, Ling Xu said with emotion: "This shop also feeds a lot of people."

"Isn't it," Zheng Xun said with a smile, "They never drive them away, they just order the vendors to tidy their stalls and clean them up."

The two entered the Water View Ji together. The most conspicuous thing in it was the row of water plant tanks for display. Many people stopped to admire it, and others were introducing them.

On both sides are rows of shelves, on which are placed various forms of glass jars, sinking wood, stones, pocket pavilions, etc., which are all used for landscaping and are beautifully made.

It's a coincidence today that Yun Yanhui and Zheng Ling are both in the store. They are not there every day on weekdays. Zheng Ling is okay. Yun Yanhui has fewer visits except for the first time it opened.

When the two saw Zheng Xun, they all came forward to meet him.

Zheng Xun introduced Ling Xu to them and explained Ling Xu's intention.

Zheng Ling beckoned to the shopkeeper and asked him to introduce Ling Xu.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Does Lang Jun want to buy ready-made scenery, or pick up the tank and decorate it back to build? And we also have a dedicated master here who can help you design the drawings and provide a complete set of raw materials. You can follow them. There are different. Themes, such as the scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, mountains and valleys, prairie scenery, underwater world..."

The shopkeeper's lips were very slippery, and he led Ling Xu to introduce him as he walked.

Ling Xu didn't know that there were so many services, so he fainted and asked him in detail what the difference was.

"Nowadays, most people buy back and make their own scenery," said the shopkeeper. "Some of them don't even help with design. They do it by themselves, which is very interesting. Not long ago, we had a customer who made our own As for the scenery of his hometown, he did not find a suitable stone here, but he went to quarry wild stones by himself..."

Ling Xu sounded leisurely and fascinated, but he didn't expect to have such a gameplay.

Yun Yan returned to them and stood and listened. Seeing that Ling Xu was fascinated, Yun Yan whispered back: "In the next few months, I plan to hold a waterscape seminar to gather aquatic plants landscaping enthusiasts in Beijing. Exchange and discuss, and show their respective proud masterpieces."

Since Zheng Li's attitude towards Zheng Ling has changed, Zheng Xun has naturally followed a lot of kindness, and even his relationship with Yun Yanhui has eased a lot.

Zheng Xun and Yun Yan didn't meet much in the meeting, sometimes they were more sensitive, and said, "I found out, why do you particularly like to hold this meeting and that meeting?"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Hey, no way, old problems...

Small meetings of the general assembly, exhibition seminars, are always continuous.

"This is my working style." Yun Yan turned away from the subject, "Speaking of which, I also plan to invite landscaping enthusiasts from Liao to participate in the conference."

Zheng Xun touched his beard, "Well, this is a good thing, don't you want to discuss it."

Yun Yan replied: "Oh, no, just humiliate the Liao people's aesthetics, so that they can work harder to buy our tutorials..."

Zheng Xun & Zheng Ling: "..."
