Chapter 94 Jiang Zixuan's Mind
Jiang Zixuan picked up the pipe and asked Di Caiwei, who was sitting across from the sofa, "Do you mind if I smoke a pipe?"

"Please feel free to do so." Di Caiwei smiled and said, "Our teacher often smokes in front of us and we have long been used to it."

Jiang Zixuan lit his pipe: "Teacher Luo Zhiyuan is a master of science in the world. Alas, it's a pity that his contribution to the world is easily ignored by everyone."

"On behalf of the teacher, I would like to thank Mr. Jiang for his praise. No wonder the teacher said that he must pay a visit to Mr. Jiang when he comes to Zhou. Sure enough, among so many art masters in Zhou, only Mr. Jiang didn't treat me like a barbarian."

Jiang Zixuan took a puff of cigarette: "Give the world time and let everyone slowly understand Qi State. I know how good Qi State is because I have been to Qi State. People's attitude towards you is not good because they don't understand Qi State. That's all. When Qi becomes more and more open and more and more people go to Qi, there will be no more talk of Yi and Di."

"I hope." Di Caiwei was very pessimistic about this point. The state affairs of the new king of Qi did not continue the enlightened policy of the previous king, but instead became more and more hostile to the eastern countries.

The teacher's health is getting worse day by day, and he is still being closely monitored. One day the teacher really goes west, and Qi Guo is likely to return to the old way.

These worries were naturally hidden in Di Caiwei's heart, she smiled and said: "It's a pity, I'm going back to China in two days, I can't buy Teacher Luo's new book that will be released next month, that is the best gift for the teacher .”

Jiang Zixuan held a pipe: "After you say that, I also hope to prepare a gift for Teacher Luo."

He thought for a while: "By the way, let me show you something."

Having said that, he found the picture he took from Mu Bai's sketchbook that day, and pushed the phone to Di Caiwei.

Di Caiwei saw that the painting in the picture was a hall in the clouds. The hall gave people a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes, but there was no classical taste at all.The geometric shape of the hall, as well as the sense of grandeur, give people an inexplicable sense of awe.It's a pity that this painting is too blurry, giving people a too ethereal feeling, and it would be perfect if it is reprocessed.

Jiang Zixuan signaled her to draw back, and the next few paintings gave Di Caiwei a refreshing feeling: "Is this an illustration for Teacher Jiang's new book?"

"Yes."

"It's so beautiful." Di Caiwei returned the phone to Jiang Zixuan reluctantly: "I wonder which master's work it is?"

"Mu Bai, you may not have heard of it."

"Mu Bai?" Di Caiwei thought of the "Gaze of Time and Space".

"This is just a sketch," Jiang Zixuan said, "I also just thought that although the book is too late to deliver, you can give Mr. Luo an original drawing of the illustration. But the original drawing has not been sent yet, so I just went to urge it."

Di Caiwei was stunned: "The sketches are so beautiful?" She paused and then said: "No need to bother, Teacher Jiang gave me a few pictures of the sketches, and I'm satisfied."

Jiang Zixuan smiled and said, "I have the same respect for Teacher Luo as you do. I'm very happy to be able to give him something."

"Thank you." Di Caiwei said this thank you very sincerely. Since she left Qi, she only heard scolding of Teacher Luo. Jiang Zixuan was the first foreign scholar to praise Teacher Luo.

She continued: "I remember that Teacher Mu Bai has a painting "Looking at Time"."

"Well, I've seen the original work, and it's even more shocking than the one in the album."

"Can you please ask Teacher Jiang to purchase this painting for me?" Di Caiwei then explained: "None of the artists in Zhou are willing to sell their works to me."

Jiang Zixuan emptied the ash from his pipe: "Mu Bai shouldn't be as boring as those so-called artists."

He looked at the wall clock on the wall, guessed that Mu Bai was in the studio at this time, so he found an umbrella: "It's not too late, let's go to Guofeng studio."

Jiang Zixuan wanted to catch Mu Bai off guard, so he went directly to the studio without calling.

Thinking of Mu Bai's surprised expression, the more Jiang Zixuan thought about it, the more interesting he became.

But Jiang Zixuan only knew the approximate location of the Guofeng studio, and it took him a long time to find it.

It's a pity that Mu Bai didn't show a surprised expression, so Jiang Zixuan was a little disappointed.

Mu Bai smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang is here to pick up the original painting. I thought you'd have to come in the next two days, but the last one hasn't been painted yet. I'll send it to you the day after tomorrow."

Di Caiwei, who was following Jiang Zixuan, was a little surprised at the simplicity of Mu Bai's studio. After going abroad, she visited several studios, all of which were single-family three- or four-story buildings. Once seen at the studio in the warehouse.

However, the creative atmosphere here is better than that of those studios. Everyone is either talking and laughing and discussing something, or they are writing hard to create, without the laziness and coping of those studios.

Jiang Zixuan introduced to Mu Bai: "This is..."

"I know you," Mu Bai said with a smile, "Di Caiwei, right? I've seen your literary battle with the bookstore owner."

When Liu Zhe and others heard this, they took a look together. That's right, isn't this the "Qi Country Businesswoman" who killed the world!

Immediately, some provocative, angry and other unfriendly eyes looked at Di Caiwei.

Seeing Mu Bai's normal expression, Di Caiwei smiled and reached out to shake Mu Bai's hand. As for the gazes of Liu Zhe and others, she has already become accustomed to them.

Mu Bai asked the two to sit down, and he asked Di Caiwei: "Isn't the transportation from Qi State to Zhou State inconvenient?"

"Yes," Di Caiwei said, "both Jin and Chu will intercept the eastbound Qi people."

I don't know who said "it should be like this", although the voice was not loud, Di Caiwei heard it, and her expression suddenly became uneasy.

Mu Bai said leisurely: "Art should not be divided into national boundaries. Only through continuous exchanges and learning can we create better artworks. The methods of Jin and Chu are too petty, no wonder they will decline year by year."

These words are pragmatic. Everyone knows that artistic creation should have more exchanges, and the decline of Jin and Chu is also well known.Although Liu Zhe and others were not convinced, they did not refute.

Jiang Zixuan glanced at Di Caiwei, his eyes seemed to say: Look, let me tell you, Mu Bai is not as boring as those mediocre people.

Di Caiwei also looked at the young man in front of her, who was obviously still a student, with admiration. She thought to herself, it would be great if people in the world were less prejudiced.

Mu Bai asked again: "I heard that the sea transportation between Zhou State and Qi State is also very developed?"

Di Caiwei replied: "That's right, the maritime trade between Qi State and Zhou, Qin, and Wu is frequent and more and more prosperous. Every year, each of Qi's three major shipyards launches hundreds of cargo ships, completely avoiding The roads of Jin and Chu are blocked."

Mu Bai joked: "The age of great navigation!"

Di Caiwei was taken aback, stared at Mu Bai for two or three seconds before saying: "Sorry, my teacher said the same thing." She paused and said: "This time I came here to give the teacher a gift. Here, I want to ask you for a painting."

Mu Baixin said, don't tell me your teacher's name is Columbus.
