Yun Yanhui and Zheng Ling searched for a lot of suitable wood and stones for landscaping. They also asked Yu Hao for some help in this regard.
Yun Yanhui prepared five tanks. The first idea was the Crystal Palace, which presented an imaginary underwater crystal palace, and the building was really helped by Yu Hao.
The fish and water plants in this tank are equally important. In addition to the strange water plants and stones, a group of brightly colored fish swims around, which will definitely make people enter the scenery at once.
The second, third and fourth are canyons, forests and gardens respectively, and the fifth is water and land scenery, that is, half water scenery and half land scenery.
This kind of landscaping is very wonderful. There are mountains, trees, pavilions and bridges on the top of the land, and water plants grow on the bottom of the water. The fish swim around, and the perspective is very unique.
These water plant tanks were designed by Zheng Ling's drawings, and each of them was a large tank.
Big is magnificent.
However, it took a lot of time. It took almost a month to select suitable landscaping items, and some fish had to be specially salvaged.
However, these are all worth it.
Start from setting up the scenery, sprinkle soil, some water plants can be planted directly, and some need to be sprinkled with seeds. When the grass grows slowly, be careful that the tank walls are covered with algae.
It's too much trouble to clean up every day, so they put in some small fish or snails that eat algae to balance the biosphere.
Different tanks hold different creatures, and some tanks hardly need to be put in.
During this process, Zheng Ling felt that his level had been greatly improved, and his art was the same.
Yun Yanhui also had a great sense of accomplishment. After finishing, she said to Yu Hao with special emotion, "No wonder you like architecture so much. When I set up such a small scene, I felt like a fork. It's hard to imagine that after the building you designed is completed. , how satisfied you should be.
Yu Hao was stunned, and immediately laughed, "Brother Yan, you are such a wonderful person."
Yun Yan was a little puzzled.
Yu Hao felt in his heart that no matter how superb his skills were, the world always regarded him as a "craftsman" and despised him. However, Yun Yanhui's attitude towards him could be felt from the beginning, and it was different from others. There is no slightest contempt, it can even be called respect.
These few words today made Yu Hao realize that Yun Yanhui truly respected him.
But for Yun Yanhui, who has different social upbringing experiences, it is quite natural, and he doesn't think so in his heart, so it's a bit baffling.
…
Yun Yanhui continued to improve the details of the aquatic plant tank, and at the same time, he and Zheng Ling also bought the house next to the farm, specializing in the purchase of sinking wood, stones, aquatic plants and other objects, as well as placing glass tanks. It has been decided to start the business of aquatic plants together.
It took nearly three months to complete the five jars. On the May Day, Renzong held a banquet in the palace and entertained the ministers. Yun Yanhui just reported that the waterweed jar was completed, and Renzong invited the ministers to share it.
More than a dozen powerful servants brought out the water tanks covered with black cloth one by one. These tanks often have long arms and are extremely large. They are placed on the table and are heavy.
After opening the black cloth, it is a strange underwater world.
The crystal palace carved by coral stands tightly in the swaying water plants, and a group of finger-sized bright-colored fish drags their tails to shuttle outside or inside the crystal palace. In a trance, people feel that the Crystal Palace is glowing...
The vines are drooping, the tangled roots are covered with green water plants, like towering trees, and strange rocks stand up. This is an uninhabited valley.
The pale yellow crab climbed over the sand and gravel on the bottom of the water, climbed to the shore along the tree roots extending into a part of the bottom of the water, and walked across a small bridge to the other side...
…
For a long time, there was no sound in the huge palace, only breathing.
It can only be described as shocking, this is nature in a glass jar, a miniature world under the water, which makes everyone addicted to it.
"You Aiqings are busy with state affairs and don't have time to appreciate the rivers and mountains of thousands of miles, but this method allows everyone to travel thousands of miles and enjoy the beautiful scenery." Renzong said with a smile, and gave three of the tanks to the Prime Minister and the Royal Palace on the spot. Director Shi Tai and Bao Zheng also had several confidants.
When Renzong spoke like this, the scene boiled like a frying pan.
The ministers were full of praise for the water plant tank, but they only hated that they could not get one.
True! After seeing these tanks, does anyone dare to claim to have fish tanks at home? But it's just a container!
In the future, if you will raise fish and turtles, would you still be embarrassed to use an ordinary tank, decorate with water and pebbles to raise aquariums? Isn't it rude!
Renzong also told everyone very generously that these were all made by the children of Zheng Zhiyuan's family. If you want, you can go to him to make reservations - yes, it is the one that produces green turtles. Moreover, the design was completed by Zheng Feibo by the imperial edict.
Zheng Li was a little dizzy.
It’s enough for Yunyan to return. Now it is very famous in a small area, and has won the favor of officials. Is it possible to invest in his real estate development with a small treasury
But their family, Zheng Ling, has never been praised so much.
After agreeing to Zheng Ling's admission to the painting academy, Zheng Li gave up on him and went with him to pursue his ideals.
However, now, being praised by colleagues from left to right, exaggerating the water plant tank, exaggerating the philosophy, exaggerating the elegance, not to mention that the officials are also very popular... Zheng Li suddenly felt a very long face.
Especially when everyone gathered around and asked him to talk and open the back door for them.
- This is probably also the reason why the expectation value has dropped a lot.
Inexplicably moved, Zheng Hao decided to go back and praise Zheng Ling well, and it was not in vain for the whole family to take care of his business secretly.
Zheng Ling was not qualified to participate in this day's banquet. After Zheng Li returned home and ordered him to go, he was still a little nervous.
"Aon, why are you looking for a child?"
Zheng Xun also didn't go to today's banquet. He thought that there was a villain who satirized Zheng Ling in front of Zheng Li, so he followed him worriedly. At this time, he was surprised to see that his father, who had always been unsmiling, took Zheng Ling's hand with a smile and praised him.
Zheng Xun: "..."
After listening to the content, Zheng Xun felt numb.
Zheng Xun was really convinced by the younger cousin Yan Ge'er. Feibo followed Brother Yan, and even raising turtles can make such a big move. Some time ago, I heard that the green turtles and water tanks that were sent out as national gifts were also very popular. Now there is such a 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, fish, shrimp, snails, crabs, everything, and many people are choosing.
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 very different from the opening of Yusunhong. However, since the opening day, many dignitaries have come to patronize, and it has become the best sign.
The wind of water tank landscaping is blowing from the upper floor. Now it is the most fashionable thing in Bianjing. Because everyone has no experience, it is the best way to "enter the circle" to buy or ask for advice.
Those who love raising aquariums are the first to follow suit. But now, there are also some people who fall in love with raising aquatic plants. Those aquatic plants of different shapes, matched with sunken wood and stones, can simulate almost all the scenery on land.
This colleague of Zheng Xun, Ling Xu, is also a newcomer to the circle. He knows that Zheng Xun is the father of the boss of Shui Jingji, so I ask him to accompany him to go shopping.
Seeing the lively appearance of Shui Jing Ji outside, Ling Xu said with emotion, "This shop also supports a lot of people."
"Isn't it," Zheng Xun said with a smile, "They never drive them away, they just order these vendors to tidy up their stalls and clean them up."
The two entered the waterscape together. The most conspicuous thing here is a row of aquatic plants for display. Many people stopped in front of them to appreciate it, and some people were introducing them.
There are rows of shelves on both sides, on which are placed various shapes of glazed jars, sinking wood, stones, pocket pavilions, pavilions and other objects, all of which are used for landscaping and are beautifully made.
Coincidentally today, Yun Yanhui and Zheng Ling are both in the store, they are not there every day on weekdays, Zheng Ling is okay, Yun Yanhui is less frequent except when it first opened.
When the two saw Zheng Xun, they both came to greet him.
Zheng Xun introduced Ling Xu to them and explained Ling Xu's purpose.
Zheng Ling beckoned to call the shopkeeper and asked him to introduce Ling Xu.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Do you want to buy ready-made scenery, or do you choose a tank and decorate it yourself? And we also have a special master here, who can help you design drawings and provide a complete set of raw materials, which you can follow. There are different Themes, such as Suzhou-Hangzhou scenery, mountain forest canyons, grassland scenery, underwater world... ”
The shopkeeper was very eloquent, and walked with Ling Xu to introduce him.
Ling Xu didn't know that there were so many services, and suddenly fainted, and asked him in detail what the difference was.
"Nowadays, most people buy it back and make their own landscaping," the shopkeeper said. "Some don't even want to help with the design. It's very interesting to do it yourself. Not long ago, we had a customer who created his own landscaping. As for the scenery of his hometown, he did not find a suitable stone here, so he went to quarry wild rocks by himself..."
Ling Xu listened with a leisurely fascination, but did not expect such a way to play.
Yun Yanhui and the others stood and listened. Seeing Ling Xu fascinated, Yun Yanhui whispered, "In a few months, I plan to hold a waterscape seminar to gather the aquatic plants landscaping enthusiasts in Beijing. Exchanges and discussions, and showcases their own masterpieces.”
Since Zheng Li's attitude towards Zheng Ling has changed, Zheng Xun has naturally become a lot more amiable, and even the relationship with Yun Yanhui has eased a lot.
Zheng Xun and Yun Yan didn't see each other very much, and sometimes they were more sensitive and said, "I found out, why do you like this meeting or that meeting so much?"
Yunyan replied: "..."
Alas, there's no way, it's an old problem...
Conferences, small meetings, exhibitions and seminars are always constant.
"That's my style of doing things." Yun Yan changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, I also plan to invite landscape lovers from Liao to come to the conference."
Zheng Xun stroked his beard, "Well, this is a good thing, don't you want to communicate and discuss?"
Yun Yan replied: "Oh, no, just humiliate the aesthetics of the Liao people so that they will work harder to buy our tutorials..."
Zheng Xun & Zheng Ling: "..."
