The two exchanged pleasantries.
The topic gradually turned to Yuchi Yiseng.
"I wonder if Master Cui has ever heard of this Yuchi Yiseng?"
After hearing this, Cui Yu thought for a moment.
"I remember there really was a painter named Yuchi in Chang'an City.
I heard that he is an excellent painter, but I don't know much about him.
But I can help you find out."
Zhuang Zhou expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you so much!"
"Brother Zhuang, you're too polite. It's just a small favor!"
Afterwards, Cui Yu sent people to inquire about Yuchi Yiseng's whereabouts.
Had two cups of tea.
Cui Yu then asked someone to replace the wine and food.
The two drank and chatted.
Soon, news about Yuchi Yiseng came.
Recently, Yuchi Yiseng has been creating a large mural in Caotang Temple outside the city.
It will probably take another ten days or so to complete.
Zhuang Zhou asked about the location of Caotang Temple.
It is about thirty miles away from the west gate of Chang'an City.
This is a bit troublesome!
Thirty miles is a lot in this era.
But now Zhuang Zhou actually found this person.
Naturally, I was a little excited.
After thinking about it, he decided to go to Caotang Temple to find out in person.
See if you can get this Yuchi Yiseng to copy a painting for you.
But when Zhuang Zhou expressed his thoughts.
Cui Yu was very puzzled:
"Brother Zhuang, it's almost night, why don't you go there early tomorrow morning?"
In fact, Zhuang Zhou had already thought about it.
According to modern calculations, today is already Thursday.
I have to go back tomorrow to hold the opening ceremony.
Then in the afternoon I will go to Uncle Cheng to pick up my suit and meet Meng Xuan.
Do some explanation work.
But if I want to bring back a Chinese painting, I want Meng Xuan's uncle to evaluate its quality.
That leaves only one day left.
So Zhuang Zhou thought that if he could find Yuchi Yiseng tonight, he would decide with him to make a painting for him.
He will take the painting and return to the modern era by tomorrow night at the latest.
As for spending a little more money, Zhuang Zhou is willing to accept it.
Because as long as I get Yuchi Yiseng's painting, I will take it back to have Uncle Meng Xuan confirm the quality.
If it has collection value.
After that, antique shops can start selling calligraphy and paintings.
However, Zhuang Zhou couldn't tell Cui Yu about these thoughts.
"Master Cui, I really want to ask this person to paint a picture for me, and I can't wait a moment."
Zhuang Zhou seemed very anxious.
He repeatedly emphasized that he would go out of town to meet this person tonight.
Cui Yu was moved by Zhuang Zhou's actions.
He immediately stated:
"Alright! Since Master Zhuang values this man so much, I, Cui, would also like to go and see what he is really capable of. I will go with you."
Cui Yu was also the best at making friends with literati and poets.
A person who is highly regarded for his poetry talent like Zhuang Zhou must be someone with some real skills!
"Why don't you go there on my iron donkey?"
"OK!"
Cui Yu readily agreed and said with a smile:
"I've heard that an iron donkey appeared in Kyoto. Come to think of it, I really want to try it!"
