Otherwise, over time, the other party will lose confidence.
Sure enough, when the two heard that they had received invitations to three wealthy families’ banquets, they immediately smiled and promised to arrive on time tomorrow.
Lin Yumei also chatted with Mrs. Ye for a few more words, asking what her husband was doing in the capital now, as there was no news at all.
If he had not been taken away with Third Brother Ye, Lin Yumei would have been so impatient that she would have wanted to go to the capital to look for him herself.
Mrs. Ye did not mention the building blocks, but only assured her: "They are both working in the Qin Mansion now. We met them in the capital a few days ago. Don't worry!
"Besides, that's the Qin Mansion. They won't treat them unfairly. This is a great opportunity to make some money before the New Year. How nice it would be to come back with a bulging wallet for the New Year?"
After hearing what Sister Ye said, Lin Yumei stopped worrying and took her hand, saying gratefully, "Ever since I met you at Mr. Jiang's house, my family seems to have changed for the better.
"Although you didn't say it, I know in my heart that my old Wang was able to work in the Qin Mansion because of the recommendation of my third brother. Otherwise, how would the people in the Qin Mansion know who he is?
"By the way, since you're here today, don't rush to leave. Have a meal at home before leaving!"
"No, no, we have a whole family to visit," said Mrs. Ye. "After the third brother and his family return from the capital, we can make an appointment to have dinner together."
"That's fine." Lin Yumei thought about it and agreed. There were several banquets to be prepared recently and everyone was very busy. Everyone wanted to make more money before the New Year to have a good year. There was really no need to rush.
At the Beijing General Art Director's side, Master Liu's work has reached the final stage.
Both of them looked a little haggard.
Master Liu is just worried about whether his work can be completed on time.
However, Ye Laosan was still worried about Young Master Qin making building blocks, and was even more anxious and angry than Master Liu.
Master Liu also knew what he was thinking and said, "Don't worry, as long as nothing goes wrong this time and you can get through these two days, I'll let you go back.
"Besides, do you think those apprentices I sent him were just there to eat for free? You wouldn't be any different."
Although he said that, Ye Lao San was still so anxious and angry that his voice became hoarse.
Fortunately, the two of them had developed some tacit understanding after these days of cooperation, and they completed the entire carving work of the ornament very smoothly in the next three days.
Looking at the nine-layer hollow wood carving on the table, Master Liu was almost crying with joy.
You have to know that before this, for this type of sculpture, no matter what material it was made of, seven layers was already the limit.
This year he decided to make a nine-layer hollow wooden ball. Not only was he unsure about it, but even in the Department of Construction, many people were not optimistic about it.
He has been busy with this matter for almost the entire second half of the year, but he has always been immersed in his own research, and each time he fails on the last three layers of carving.
Therefore, even though he used wood instead of ivory or jade, it still aroused doubts from many people in the Imperial Household Department.
Especially as the time was getting closer to the end of the year, Master Liu himself began to doubt whether he had the ability to complete this work.
Fortunately, by chance, he met Ye Laosan at this time. With the cooperation of the two, they finally completed the work on time.
After finishing his work with Master Liu, Ye Lao San was anxious to go back to the Qin family to make building block boxes.
"I'll go with you to take a look." Master Liu locked the finished wood carving in the cabinet. After finishing the work, he finally felt guilty and thought of the several apprentices he had sent to Linglong Pavilion.
The two of them came to Linglong Pavilion together. When the shopkeeper heard that it was Master Liu, the supervisor of the works, he hurried out to greet him with a smile on his face.
"What brings you here? Your humble shop is truly blessed!"
"Aren't those useless apprentices of mine still with you? As their master, I have to come and take a look, right?"
"Don't worry, we have taken good care of your several talented disciples."
The shopkeeper took the two of them to the backyard.
When Master Liu took a look, he found that, as expected, the silly apprentices were obviously fatter than before, and their faces were rounder.
When they saw the master coming, they all looked worried.
Although the food and accommodation in Linglong Pavilion are good, the only problem is that the work is too boring.
All they do every day is cut wood to size, sand the blocks, and help paint the blocks.
It's okay for one or two days, but doing this every day can easily suffocate a person.
Unfortunately, Brother Wang, who was in charge of painting, was very motivated, so in order not to embarrass the Chief Architect and their master, they had to work hard as well.
In less than ten days, more than a dozen sets of building blocks were made.
Hearing that Master Liu had come to Linglong Pavilion, Qin Hexuan quickly rushed over from home and took the opportunity to take a look at the progress of the building blocks.
After seeing Qin Hexuan, Master Liu kept thanking him for bringing Ye Lao San to him.
Qin Hexuan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, and deliberately said, "It's good that Third Uncle Ye can help. Fortunately, you don't spend a lot of time on that end, so it shouldn't delay Third Uncle Ye's research on how to make this building block box."
"What's there to research about a building block box?" Master Liu said directly, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly. I'll study it with you."
When Qin Hexuan heard Master Liu say this, he said, "Let's go inside and talk about this."
So the three of them went into the inner room together, and Qin Hexuan took out the building block box that Ye Lao San had made for Qingtian before and showed it to Master Liu.
