Just when Tan Weixin talked about the things that bothered her in Jingu Garden, something strange happened. The maid Sisi knocked on the door, then showed half of her little face, and reported softly with a depressed look on her face: "Your Highness, Luo Qin, the envoy of Chunnan Kingdom, asked for a visit."

Tan Weixin waved helplessly and said, "Let that guy wait in Junsitang." After Sisi left, Tan Weixin sighed at Ye Tao, "Oh, it's such a crow's mouth. When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. It's this guy, it's so tight to increase the allocation of flowers and trees. There's really no way. My father is also afraid of trouble, so he avoids giving an idea. I'm really annoyed to this person."

Ye Tao shrugged and said, "Why don't you let me go and have a look?"

Tan Weixin nodded helplessly and said, "You must have a name when dealing with the envoy... Don't laugh! Just be the proofreader of my princess's residence for the time being."

"Chasing Scholar? What position is coming?" Ye Tao was stunned for a moment.

"It's probably a position between secretary and teacher, God knows. Anyway, if you have a name, you have reason to speak on my behalf."

Ye Tao nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll go and vent your anger for you."

Luo Qin, the envoy of Chunnan Kingdom, did not look like a horticultural designer who directed the construction project of Jingu Garden, nor was he a commander of a construction team responsible for on-site command. Luo Qin was gentle and elegant, and was like a southern scholar. Since Luo Qin sent to Dongping Kingdom as Chunnan Kingdom, some spies have been sent to Chunnan Kingdom to investigate Luo Qin's affairs. Luo Qin was born in a poor family. Since he made his mark in the imperial examination in Chunnan Kingdom, Luo Qin has been promoted all the way.

The career was extremely smooth. Although the current quality was not very high, the people who had been dealing with the top power of Chunnan Kingdom. He was sent to Dongping Kingdom and could not have been a simple responsibility to direct the construction of Jingu Garden. He must have undertaken more complicated work. The small golden sachet worn by Luo Qin's waist - which was usually given to his close ministers by the Lord of Chunnan Kingdom - is enough to show his status in the system of ministers in Chunnan Kingdom.

After saluting Tan Weixin, Luo Qin said: "Your Highness, the princess, I have handed you the revision and request for the renovation of the flowerbed in the West Garden of Jinguyuan for you for a long time. The construction schedule of Jinguyuan is very urgent. Can this amount be transferred as soon as possible?"

As soon as Tan Weixin sat down, the maids Sisi and Qiaoer put down a set of tea and snacks in front of her. Tan Weixin drank a sip of warm tea, looked at Ye Tao standing beside her, and said to Luo Qin: "Mr. Luo, the pattern of this Jingu Garden was first sent by you. At that time, it took me almost half a month to review the construction and cost of the entire Jingu Garden. Since Jingu Garden was to let you Chunnan Kingdom take charge, although I felt the cost was high, I didn't say anything. The major affairs of my father are also the major affairs of the country. I can't say anything, and I can only support it with all my strength. However, although my Dongping Kingdom is rich, spending money also requires a charter. You said that you suddenly had a new idea and suddenly wanted to modify the entire Xiyuan, and then hand over a pattern of the modification plan and give a requisition. Could it be that I must give this money?"

Luo Qin felt nervous. He had never been able to meet Tan Weixin since he handed over the picture of modifying the Xiyuan. He would not have known Tan Weixin's absolute right to pay for these issues, especially in terms of internal currency allocation. He sent people to ask about this matter several times, and even asked to see the princess several times. Tan Weixin just found various reasons to shirk it. Now, when Tan Weixin met him like this and said these words, it was obviously preparing to have a conclusion on this matter.

Luo Qin was also prepared for this and said respectfully: "The marriage between the two countries is a major event for both Dongping and Chunnan Kingdom. The officials cannot argue in such a major event, but only do the work on their own heads to excel. Since the Jingu Garden is the responsibility of the Xiaguan, I really dare not work hard. Dongping and Chunnan are thousands of miles apart, and the weather and earth are too different. Many flower and forest officials, and many craftsmen who participated in the construction of the Jingu Garden, have learned in the near future that some seeds brought by Chunnan Kingdom are inactive, and many flowers and forests must be raised in Dongping. Cooperating with flowers of different appearances, the gardeners and the Xia redesigned the entire Xiyuan. Only such a Xiyuan is worthy of the importance of the marriage between the two countries. Please help His Royal Highness the Princess to fulfill it."

"Si Si, take the picture and set it aside." Tan Weixin ordered. The maid Si Si responded and quickly took the picture. The two guards put together two long tables in the middle of the Junsi Hall and arranged the whole set of pictures and all the copywriting. At this time, Tan Weixin faced Ye Tao, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Ye, please."

Luo Qin was stunned. He bowed to Ye Tao and asked, "Dare you ask if this person is..."

Tan Weixin replaced Ye Tao and replied: "This is the best gardener and architect in the younger generation of our country, and the proofreader who was invited by our mansion. This time, I will give you the money to Mr. Ye to decide whether to allocate the money."

Ye Tao smiled bitterly in his heart. Since he had to rely on him to attack Luo Qin, it seemed that this beam must be broken. Ye Tao carefully looked at the design patterns of the entire Jingu Garden, and then looked at the new design patterns of Xiyuan and the text descriptions of all the projects contained in it. After reading it, Ye Tao closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes and asked, "Mr. Luo, what do you think is the most important thing in building a garden?"

After thinking about it, Luo Qin said, "I think the most important thing about this garden construction is to create scenery through things. Whether it is buildings, bamboo, stone, flowers and trees, they are all pearls and jades in the hands of the gardener. Decorating these pearls and jades in the natural scenery, making the natural scenery more beautiful and delicate while being suitable for recreation, so that people can live in it and enjoy it and forget to return is the true meaning of garden construction."

Ye Tao smiled and said, "Mr. Luo is indeed very good at creating garden scenery, but... Does Master Luo want to please him a little?"

Luo Qin was stunned and said, "Please make a fuss, how do you say this?"

"These flowers and trees are combined in this way. When the king and Princess Bailian got married, the scenery was indeed very beautiful. But what happened? Did Lord Luo really not know the growth patterns of these flowers and trees, or did it intentionally? The growth patterns of these flowers and trees from different types from east, west, south, and north of Dongping Country have huge differences. The Xiyuan is mainly flower gardens. After these flowers and trees are planted everywhere, after a few years, the differences in growth are revealed, this way... is it a bit embarrassing, right?" Ye Tao said mercilessly.

Luo Qin's face turned pale. What Ye Tao said was a serious accusation. This accusation that he would do anything to please both parties and for his future promotion. He ignored the matters in the future and turned the entire Jinguyuan into his Luo Qin's face and political achievements project. Luo Qin said coldly: "Young Master Ye, you can't say this nonsense."

Ye Tao snorted coldly. At a young age, he actually looked down on the powerful. He bowed to Tan Weixin and said, "Your Highness is also asked to prepare a painting plan."

Tan Weixin was lying on the table reading a book and nodded slightly. Sisi and Qiaoer immediately took out the exquisite pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the room and placed it on another table. Ye Tao walked to the edge of the drawing table, picked up the pen, and without hesitation, drew 6 sketches on one piece of paper, and wrote the "first year" correctly on the edge. Then he drew a sketch of the second piece of paper, but it was a sketch of the same 6 locations, and wrote the "third year" on the edge. After that, Ye Tao quickly drew sketches of the fifth and tenth year based on the general plant growth laws. Although it was a sketch, Ye Tao had fully demonstrated his pen strength in these sketches. In terms of form, these were just sketches drawn based on imagination, but the outlines of forests and flowers in these sketches were extremely old, with soft and firm lines, and very styled.

But Luo Qin's face became paler. Ye Tao's sketches and these words were like a huge hammer hitting his chest, making him speechless. After all, he was just an official in charge of organizational work, and he had nothing to do with these gardening matters. He just operated these things based on the ideas of the old gardeners. Ye Tao's sketches would never be aimless. Ye Tao had designed several courtyards, and even designed gardens for the Dancui Garden in Yicheng. He was very familiar with these plants that often appear in the garden. As a native of Dongping, this aspect is much more advantageous than Luo Qin and those gardeners from Chunnan Kingdom.

Seeing that Luo Qin's expression was not right, Tan Weixin smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, you are taking the blame. Mr. Ye has just entered my mansion and is afraid he is a little anxious to show it. Should Lord Luo go back and rethink it, and then send the pattern of the Western Garden again? Take some time to think carefully, and I think it is still time to go."

He seemed to criticize Ye Tao and found a way out for Luo Qin, but in fact he hit Luo Qin again. Luo Qin bowed deeply and retreated silently.

The maid Sisi looked at Ye Tao curiously. Ye Tao's move was very high-profile, and it was very difficult for the talented man who was only 14 years old and the princess to be the same age as the princess. Luo Qin is now a little famous among those literati in Danyang's social circle.

"Well... I did a pretty job. Luo Qin shouldn't bother me for a long time." Tan Wei said happily. How Ye Tao hit Luo Qin was not what she cared about. Anyway, she just wanted to reduce the trouble and cost.

"What should I do in the future? Will I have trouble in the future if I offend him like this?" Ye Tao's tone was not panicked at all.

Tan Weixin glanced at Ye Tao and said, "Are you afraid of such a person? Apart from being a favorite, such a person is nothing. Besides, you are from Dongping, whether it is true or false, you are carrying this princess mansion proofreader. Do you think anyone dares to provoke you?"

Ye Tao took a look at the patterns spread out on the table, then looked at his own sketches, and said, "Actually, the design of this Xiyuan is still very interesting. If I hadn't used these kinds of trees in the yard of the old master of Qi's family this time, I would have been afraid that I would have made a fool of myself."

Tan Weixin said: "So...and what? The matter in Danyang is over this time? Are you going to go back to Yicheng now?"

Ye Tao thought about it and said, "It should be true. I will come back before the completion of Yi Zhan Building next year. The factory and hydraulic facilities of Ye's workshop have begun to be built and installed. The engineering process of Yi Zhan Building is still going smoothly now. I was worried that such a complex project, wood and other aspects are too high. I didn't expect you to use the wood from the royal family to build the palace. I have also seen the construction plan of that hall, so it should be fine. I have to go back and study how to make the clock. After all, that thing is very profitable."

Tan Weixin felt a little reluctant in her tone, but what she said was not like: "Well, see you again in those few months. When I come to Danyang again, I should be able to stay."
