Luo Xingchen stood in front of the scroll and carefully looked at the scene depicted on it.

I couldn't help but marvel.

In terms of experience, he has seen enough different types of buildings.

The most splendid thing is the imperial palace of Daqi.

As for the delicacy, ingenuity and beauty of the gardens, I am afraid that there are not many gardens in the world that can surpass the New Peacock Villa.

At least among the gardens he has seen, there is almost no one that can beat it.

"Which architect drew this picture?"

The masters of architecture in this era were often also masters of painting.

The architecture in this scroll has certainly reached its pinnacle, and the scroll itself is also an extremely rare work of art.

Luo Xingchen noticed that there was no signature on the scroll, and he could not identify which contemporary famous artist it was.

"This is the work of Master Tang Yu." Xian Yuqin did not sell it, but told the origin very honestly.

"Is it Master Tang Yu, who is a master of poetry, calligraphy and painting? He can actually design garden buildings?" Luo Xingchen's eyes flashed with astonishment.

He had indeed heard of Master Tang Yu.

Tang Yu was born in the Tang family, a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. He was a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River. He was free and uninhibited by nature. It is said that the fireworks women often went crazy for one of his poems.

But most of the rumors are about his various romantic anecdotes, but I have never heard that he can design buildings.

"That's him. A year ago, Master Tang Yu came to Peacock Villa and sat down with the owner for several days. After that, he drew a picture for the owner and also gave him a design drawing with detailed details.

The construction methods and material geometry are all clearly written."

Fresher than poultry.

"Master Tang Yu, are you still at Peacock Villa?" Luo Xingchen asked, he was also very curious about Master Tang Yu.

A while ago, when he was preparing his plan to go to Jiangnan in the future, he had already planned to visit Tang Yu when he went to Jiangnan.

Judging from age, Tang Yu is currently in his early forties, which is his most mature years.

But time is not forgiving, and it is better to see her as early as possible to avoid regrets in the future.

"He left a long time ago and returned to Jiangnan last year." Xian Yuqin shook his head.

"It's a pity, it would have been better if I didn't leave." Luo Xingchen felt a little regretful.

"Luo Xingchen, do you want to see Master Tang Yu?" Xian Yuqin suddenly looked at Luo Xingchen and asked.

"Yes, I really want to meet him. I believe many people would like to see him." Luo Xingchen said.

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Xian Yuqin said seriously.

"Why are you disappointed? Could it be that Master Tang Yu has gained a false reputation?" Luo Xingchen asked doubtfully.

"That's not true, it's just that he is... very strange." Xian Yuqin hesitated for a moment, feeling quite unsure of where to start.

"What kind of weird trick?"

"Let me tell you something. One evening, Master Tang Yu was sitting on a wicker chair and looking at the bamboo forest in the distance. He was half-squinting his eyes, as if he was asleep. Suddenly, he jumped up suddenly.

Cry loudly and shake your tears with your fingers, like this..."

Xian Yuqin imitated Master Tang Yu's movements, smeared his eyes with his fingers and flicked them away.

"This is really weird." Zhu Suiliang was stunned.

"Is he always like this?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"Yes, this was commonplace. Then, one day, he suddenly left without saying goodbye." Xian Yuqin blinked his eyes.

"He's gone, has your new Peacock Villa been built yet?" Luo Xingchen said.

"According to what Master Tang Yu said, it will take at least four to five years to build the new Peacock Villa. But it has not been completed yet..."

Xian Yuqin said: "The main reason is the lack of money. The owner of the village said that we need to raise money this time. Without money, we can't build the new Peacock Villa."

"Can't you? Your Peacock Villa should be very rich. There is no way you are short of money." Luo Xingchen asked doubtfully.

Peacock Villa not only has a respected status in the world, but they are also large landowners nearby, and a lot of land is controlled by the Xianyu family of Peacock Villa.

"Master Tang Yu said that the new Peacock Villa will cost around 20 million taels of silver. Our Peacock Villa really doesn't have that much money." Xian Yuqin was a little embarrassed.

"Twenty million taels... Daqi's annual treasury income is only tens of millions. Twenty million is really scary."

By now, Luo Xingchen found that he had underestimated the cost of the new Peacock Villa.

This kind of garden is no less expensive than the royal garden.

If you want to build a royal garden, it will take decades of repairs.

The Royal Garden Ningyuan Pavilion is located on the outskirts of the city. It has been repaired by several generations of emperors. It is estimated that it cost tens of millions of taels of silver to complete, and it also requires a huge maintenance fee every year.

Even the royal family can't maintain many gardens, let alone a private person like the owner of Peacock Villa.

Luo Xingchen's heart suddenly moved.

Why does the owner of Peacock Villa appreciate his mother?

Maybe this is the answer.

After all, starting from scratch and becoming a truly wealthy man as a woman are enough to make the owner of Peacock Villa respect him who is in urgent need of a large amount of money.

"Does the village owner have a place to raise money?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"The owner of the Chalcedony Sect has promised our village owner that as long as he can drive away Dong Wenjun this time, he will help the village owner raise money." Xian Yuqin pursed his lips and said.

"It turns out that the owner of the village is here for this purpose."

Luo Xingchen originally thought that the owner of Peacock Villa came here because of his friendship with the owner of the Chalcedony Sect, but now he discovered that in the end, it was still for money.

Loving money is not a bad thing.

The scary thing is the kind of person who wants nothing but accepts death.

Since the owner of Peacock Villa has a need, the next step will be easy.

"Luo Xingchen, I'm full and I have to say goodbye now."

Xian Yuqin stood up.

The parrot finally stopped squawking and now squatted on Xian Yuqin's shoulders, looking as if he was a general returning from victory.

"Miss Qin, go back and say hello to the owner of the village for me." Luo Xingchen said with a smile.

"I will definitely do it, parrot, let's go."

Xian Yuqin said hello and walked away with the parrot.

Luo Xingchen glanced at the table where she had been...

Good guy!

All the fruit pastries placed above were cleared away.

It turns out that Xian Yuqin is a foodie, and her appearance of being thin and frail is actually just an illusion.

"Brothers, the Chalcedony Sect is going to bleed a lot this time. The owner of the Peacock Villa has come as requested. The Chalcedony Sect has not provided enough money, so I'm afraid he won't be able to satisfy him... It will cost more than two thousand to build the new Peacock Villa.

Ten thousand taels, this is still a conservative estimate. If it is decorated with various rare items, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., more than 20 million taels may not be enough."

Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.

Zhu Suiliang wiped his eyes. To be honest, he felt a little unreal when hearing such a big number.
