Painter

What would happen if I saw a very novel object and tried my best to grab it?

Bai Qian has been thinking about this question.

It's like during a banquet, when you see a plate of dishes you've never seen before, and taste it among the many chopsticks, what will happen afterwards?

The answer is simple.Novelty is always attractive, and curiosity cannot be fully satisfied on the first try.Therefore, no matter whether this dish is delicious or not, I will want to try it again and savor it carefully.If it is delicious, you will want to continue to taste it.If it tastes strange, I will want to study it further.

Bai Qian thought that what his package brought to the man in black, besides novelty, could only be eager to move.If they don't understand those items after research, they will be more excited and want to decrypt them.

The things are their own. If they want to understand those items, or want to get more new gadgets, the source is all in themselves.In this case, the initiative is transferred to their own hands.

After confirming this point, Bai Qian went to find Mu Qingjian again.The other party was still arrogant and defensive, and looked at Bai Qian with hostility in his eyes.Bai Qian didn't go around in circles, and immediately said clearly: "How about we come to cooperate?"

Mu Qingjian paused while drinking tea, and said with a sneer, "Why should I cooperate with you?"

Bai Qian said seriously: "Because the result will only benefit you. You can listen to it first, and it's not too late to make a decision later."

Mu Qingjian was noncommittal, put down the teacup, as if ready to listen.He was hostile towards Bai Qian because he always thought that this man came out of nowhere and had inexplicable doubts about him.Besides, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental to make people doubtful.Keeping him is also because of the mystery about him, so I want to observe him closely.

But according to Wan Zhu's report, Bai Qian lived in the mansion really peacefully, without the slightest trick.Mu Qingjian was a little confused.Now that he came to propose cooperation, Mu Qingjian only felt that he was going to take action and had to guard against it.

Bai Qian couldn't wait for his response, so he had to say it himself: "The person who snatched my package is the same as the person who burned your Zemu. I want to get the package back, but you have to find out the person who blackmailed your Mu family. So, aren't we in the same boat?"

Mu Qingjian sneered: "How do you know that I want to find out who is behind the scenes? If I don't want to cause more trouble, I just let it go?"

Bai Qian sighed and explained: "How could you not want to? With such a hidden danger, you and Mu Yueguan will be in danger at any time. In other words, even if you plan to ignore this matter, then... now Things, don't you care?"

Mu Qingjian's face changed slightly, and he asked angrily, "What's going on now!"

"The question of the ownership of Qiao Zeshan. The emperor thought of such an idea, and he must have the intention to replace you. Are you going to hand over the right to use Zemu to someone else?"

The design of the Emperor's Palace has not been going well, Bai Qian heard something from Mu Yueguan.After such a blunt proposal, Mu Qingjian's expression changed instantly, and the words circled around his lips for a few times, before finally asking hesitantly, "What's your plan?"

"I said I'll design it for you, do you believe it?" Seeing that Mu Qingjian's face became more angry, Bai Qian turned around and said, "I know you don't trust me, and it is impossible for me to participate in such an important matter." .Then change the way, you refuse to let me help you, but I can still start from the outside."

"what for?"

"Fanxi Palace is still designed by you, and I will destroy the remaining ones."

Mu Qingjian is the head of the family and shoulders heavy responsibilities. He should be more mature and restrained, but because of his personality, he is more casual and arrogant.Hearing Bai Qian's words, Mu Qingjian was startled at first, then cast a sideways glance at Bai Qian and said sarcastically, "You? A mere scumbag, how do you destroy the emperor's palace?"

"I have my own way. In short, I succeeded, and you benefited. Even if I failed, I just returned to the current scene, and you have nothing to lose."

Mu Qingjian stared at Bai Qian with a frown, carefully considered his words, and asked, "You don't make any money? How can I trust you if you just put in labor?"

Bai Qian shook his head: "Of course not. We are cooperation, you provide the help I need, and I will bring you benefits, mutual benefit and coexistence. What's more, if things go well, you will accept me a little bit, right?"

"Are you still trying to please me?"

"Not really, it's just a bonus. I just want to get my package back, and it's okay if I get a stable foothold along the way."

Mu Qingjian picked up the teacup but didn't drink it, and asked, "Then what help do you want?"

Bai Qian paused, then uttered softly: "Fame. I have ideas in my mind, and I can hand them all over to you and run by the Mu family. But I want my reputation to spread and let others know that your ideas all come from Ning Baiqian."

Mu Qingjian was full of disbelief, and questioned, "This is the only one?"

Bai Qian added: "Of course, I need some people who can protect me. Huaiyuan's people are aggressive, and they will fight hand-to-hand with knives at every turn, and the head will be broken and bloody. I can't do it. Other than that There are no other requirements. If it goes well, when I get the package, I will be able to find out who is behind it."

Mu Qingjian lowered his eyebrows, took a sip of warm tea, and secretly weighed the pros and cons.

Bai Qian quietly waited for his response, not worried.If this matter is really started, even if the mastermind behind the scenes is not caught and the palace is not destroyed, the Mu family can still get Bai Qian's idea.In other words, no matter what the outcome is, the Mu family will be the beneficiaries.

Sure enough, Mu Qingjian raised his head and put down the teacup.The cup holder collided with the wooden table, and Mu Qingjian said, "Deal."

When Bai Qian first arrived in this world, it was the transition from summer to autumn, and now it's October, and the sky is already very cold.Inexplicably, after such a long time of confused days, it seems that I finally found a way in the fog. Whether it is right or wrong, there is a way forward.Bai Qian was really excited.

The entourage for the trip was simple, only Wan Zhu and two chauffeurs were brought along, but the chariots and horses were luxurious and high-profile.It was about half a meter wide, and the vermilion carriages were painted with golden lacquer on the doors and windows. When the sun shone down, it was extremely dazzling.The two tall horses pulling the cart are also extremely strong, and the sound of horseshoes stepping on the stone slab can be felt from a long distance.

Bai Qian chose for half noon, and just came out of Mu's mansion in such an incomparable way, wandered around the inner city, and then left the city gate.Everywhere he passed along the way, he could hear the discussions of passers-by on the street. Although Bai Qian felt ashamed, he was satisfied with the effect.

Bai Qian really experienced the inconvenience of traveling in ancient times.Although this carriage was made by Mu Qingjian and is already the top means of transportation in this era, it cannot be compared with modern leather seats.No matter how strong a horse is, it cannot drive a car.Coupled with the rugged road, Bai Qian bumped with the carriage for a few days, and when he finally arrived in Lifeng Town, there was no pain in his body.

Wan Zhu helped him out of the car, seeing his pale face, he was very worried.Bai Qian waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing serious about him: "It's still not completely okay to be acclimatized, and I feel like throwing up after being bumped all the way. It's okay, just get me a glass of boiling water."

The two servants, the tall and strong one is called "Pei Shan", and the thin one is called "Pei Jiang", they are both taciturn.After hearing Bai Qian's words, Pei Jiang turned around without saying a word and entered a shop, which was the inn where they planned to stay overnight.Pei Shan took off his bridle, bent over and was busy working without speaking.

Lifeng Town is a small town around Fanxi, belonging to the Mu family.The place is not big, but because it is a transportation hub, it is also very lively and prosperous.Even so, traveling outside is not as convenient as staying in Mu's residence.For Bai Qian, the biggest obstacle is the threshold.No matter how strong Wan Zhu is, she is still a woman, and it is not easy for her to let the other party hug her and walk around calmly.Bai Qian had no choice but to support his crutches, slowly moved in, and then sat on the wheelchair with Wan Zhudi's support.

It's just that during the movements, I felt the heat around my waist, as if being held by a strong hand.Bai Qian clutched his side abdomen, the silk brushed between his fingers, it was empty, nothing.

It's my own illusion.After realizing it, Bai Qian couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face.

Peijiang had ordered hot tea long ago, and placed two plates of pastries on the rough wooden table soaked in oil.Bai Qian only drank two sips of tea to suppress the nausea in his chest, and suddenly heard a loud noise coming from far and near.

A man with a big belly dressed in green brocade satin was surrounded in the middle, and the people around were chatting about something.The people around seemed to be in awe of him, even though they surrounded the city, they still left a large blank space in front of him, not getting close to him.Bai Qian only saw the big belly holding his head up, his face flushed, and he looked proud.

Seeing that person, the innkeeper ran out in a hurry, stopped them outside the door and yelled: "Master Six! If you get a rare thing, you will take everyone outside to have a look. Let's start business here. It can't fit so many people!"

Master Six raised his chin a little more, and said disdainfully: "I came here to add credit to you, you don't know what to do! Do you know what I got! This is a new one from the Mu family's Qizhuang!"

With that said, Master Six turned around and left with a group of people.The shopkeeper stretched his neck and took a look, hurriedly explained a few words to the servant, and followed him.Hearing that he was from the Mu Mansion, Bai Qian thought for a while, turned his wheelchair and came to the door.

Master Six was still surrounded in the middle, but Bai Qian took advantage of the high terrain to see the situation below clearly.It turned out that it wasn't that everyone kept a distance from the Sixth Master, but that the Sixth Master brought a big thing to separate him from everyone.

A smile flashed between Bai Qian's eyebrows, he rubbed his cold hands, and fixedly looked at the Sixth Master surrounded by him and the simple bicycle.

After he and Mu Qingjian reached an agreement on cooperation, he told Mu Qingjian many products of modern society, and this bicycle was one of them.It's just that in just a few days, Mu Qingjian was able to change the original wooden cart into the current iron one, and made deletions and modifications to make it more flexible.

If he hadn't been born as the eldest son of Mu, perhaps he would have had more energy to devote himself to the profession of "painter".

Bai Qian felt sorry for himself, and turned around to ask Wan Zhu: "In addition to being able to draw wooden utensils, this Zemu can also draw iron objects?"

Wan Zhu nodded: "Naturally. The cooking pots at home are all drawn by Zemu. It's just that there is one more process than conventional wooden utensils, which is more troublesome."

Bai Qian wanted to ask again, but the fat body of the Sixth Master over there was like juggling, he shook the car a few times, and turned over with a "plop".

Bai Qian is not a person who likes to read jokes, but Master Six's posture is so funny that he couldn't help but smile.The sixth master over there squatted down amidst the laughter of the crowd, with a sad face on his face.

Bai Qian asked for his own crutches, supported himself down the steps, and walked to the periphery of the crowd.Everyone was still studying the chain, but Wan Zhu raised his voice and opened the way.Bai Qian walked up to Master Six, only to realize that the chain had fallen off.

Bai Qian bent down to look at the chain, and said, "Turn the car upside down."

The Sixth Master's face was full of flesh, and he didn't look contemptuously when he squinted at people, on the contrary he was very fierce.Seeing that Bai Qianwen was weak and still holding on to his crutches, he immediately said fiercely: "Master, why should I listen to you!"

Master Six was still stubborn, Bai Qian made a show, Pei Jiang had already started to turn the car over.Bai Qian said: "The chain is too loose, take off three pieces."

The surrounding discussions were all broken, and the sixth master still wanted to speak, Bai Qian said to Wan Zhu: "Tell Mu Qingjian that the size of the chain must be strict, if it is too short, it will not work, if it is too long, it will fall off easily."

Master Six was stunned, and asked, "Master...Master Mu? Do you know Master Mu?"

Bai Qian thought for a while, and then instructed: "There are still some details. I was afraid that he could not draw well, so I didn't tell him. You can draw it for me later, and give it to him together."

The Sixth Master here was completely stunned, Bai Qian seemed to just care about him, and answered his previous question: "Yes, I am honored to know the Lord of Fanxi City, Mu Qingjian."

Bai Qian intentionally showed off in front of people, but this behavior was really rude, which made him very uncomfortable.Then I thought about the purpose of my trip, which was to be as high-profile as possible, so I could only endure it.

Hearing what he said, Mr. Six pointed to the bicycle on the ground: "Then this..."

"I designed it."

Master Six's eyes widened, and the flesh on his face trembled: "Then you are Ning Baiqian! How could that be! How could it be that you are not good at walking!"

Bai Qian's face was full of helplessness, and there was some regret, as if he was discussing other people's affairs: "Designing such a car even if the road is bad? But it is indeed me, the upstart of Fanxi Mu Mansion, Ning Baiqian."
