Master and disciple, oh, there should be Little Lan 'er, the three of them fiddled around in the side hall of the West Courtyard for the entire morning. Finally, all the buildings of the academy were built and assembled. Now, the only thing missing was the coloring of the buildings and the creation of the exterior scenery.
Even so, these bare buildings without coloring already made Iron Egg and Lan 'er gasp in amazement. They had never seen such a building with such a different style before.
The two children surrounded the platform and stared at it for a long time. Their faces were full of amazement and laughter. The two of them could not believe that they had just built such a magnificent building.
"Brother ~! Is your academy going to look like this in the future ~? "
Lan 'er smiled and ran to the side. She pulled Li Zexuan's arm and pointed at the sand table.
"Yes ~! The buildings of the academy are more or less like this, but after completion, it will only be more beautiful than this. Moreover, the academy will have rockery, lakeside, woods, grass, and sports fields. After the whole thing is completed, it will be ten times better than this ~! "
"Wow ~! Brother ~! Lan 'er also wants to go to the academy, Lan' er also wants to go to the academy ~! "
Lan 'er's cute little eyes lit up like the stars in the sky. She pulled Li Zexuan's arm and said excitedly.
Iron Egg listened to Li Zexuan's description of the future of the academy and could not help but be immersed in it.
Previously, when Li Zexuan wanted to build his own academy, he had to follow him to Yanhuang College because of his identity as a disciple. But now, he had begun to yearn for Yanhuang College from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey ~! Lan 'er, don't be like when you went to the Imperial College. Three days fishing, two days drying the net, and in the end, you'll be drying the net every day ~! "
Li Zexuan laughed unhappily.
"Hmph ~! Lan 'er won't do that this time ~! By the way, Brother, what is that sports field? "
Lan 'er put her two little arms on her waist and said proudly.
"Sports field ~! The sports field is a place specially for students to play games and exercise their bodies ~! Yanhuang College's students can't only know how to study. They must strike a balance between work and rest. As the saying goes, people who know how to play are better at studying ~! "
"Wow ~! Is that true? Lan 'er really knows how to play ~! It seems that if I study seriously, my grades will definitely be better than Iron Egg's! "
Lan-er raised her small face and said with confidence that came out of nowhere.
Iron Egg was speechless. Wasn't this an innocent bystander?
…
After lunch, Li Zexuan hugged his wife and slept soundly. Then, he started to work again. First, he painted the building model that he had made in the morning. Although the ancient paint was not as smooth and natural as the modern paint, it was still acceptable.
As for the two little guys, Li Zexuan didn't let them come over in the afternoon. He let Iron Egg come over in the morning, mainly to let Iron Egg learn how to read the drawings. In fact, they couldn't help much. In terms of work efficiency, Li Zexuan was more efficient when he worked alone.
Relying on the building model in his mind, he quickly painted several buildings with the corresponding paint, such as the patterns on the walls, the roof tiles, the windows, and so on. These were all parts that needed to be painted.
After an hour, Li Zexuan looked at the lifelike modern buildings in front of him and couldn't help but be in a trance. After traveling for so long, this was the first time he had seen such a modern building ~!
Although the ancient era was not bad, he had lived in the modern era for more than 20 years after all! He couldn't help but miss it!
Although he couldn't go back, what he was doing now was equivalent to bringing a modern thing back to the Tang Dynasty. It was more or less a kind of spiritual sustenance!
The next step was to create the landscape and various supporting facilities.
Li Zexuan followed the layout of Yanhuang College. He used green suede paper as the grass and stuck it in the green area. He soaked a large sponge in green paint and let it dry. He cut the sponge into strips and stuck them in the small bush area as the green belt.
For the water in the pond and lake, he used corrugated smooth cardboard and sprayed it with lake blue paint. He cut it into the shape of a river or lake and placed it in the corresponding position. He then used gray adhesive paper to make the cement road.
As for the tree, it was relatively simple to make. Li Zexuan twisted copper wire into the shape of a tree trunk and sprayed it with paint. Ordinary sponges were soaked in paint. Different types of trees were soaked in different colors of paint. Then, he dried the dyed sponges and crushed them. He soaked the tree trunk and branches in glutinous rice paste and stuck the crushed sponges to make the tree.
The willow tree could be twisted into a tree trunk and branches with thin enameled wire. Then, he stuck green wool on the branches. For the pine tree, he cut the thick fishing line into thin segments and used a clamp to hold it. Then, he twisted the two enameled wires and loosened the clamp to make it into the shape of a pine tree. He trimmed it and stuck the green wool on it.
There was one material that was more commonly used, and that was sponges.
Was there such a thing as sponges in the ancient era? The answer was yes.
Sponges were a general term for poriferous animals. They were one of the most primitive multicellular animals and originated 600 million years ago.
According to records, the ancient Greeks, ancient Romans, and ancient working people in China had long known and collected sponges. Sponges had fine mesh, strong elasticity, and good water absorption. At first, they were mainly used for bathing, scrubbing, washing dishes, and so on. Later, they showed more and more extensive uses in crafts, medicine, and daily life, such as making paint brushes, using them as liners for helmets and other cushions, burning them to ashes to cure foot pain, and so on.
Although the principle of making these small objects was not complicated, there were a lot of them. It was really time-consuming to make them. Li Zexuan worked until the sky was dark before he finished all the landscape and supporting facilities of Yanhuang College.
Looking at the small but complete sandbox of the Academy in front of him, the teaching building, the library, the auditorium, the dormitory, the canteen, the laboratory building, and other modern buildings were scattered in every corner of the Academy in picturesque disorder. The pavilions, the rockery, the lake, and the lush trees complemented each other. Li Zexuan's heart was bursting with a sense of accomplishment. Wasn't this a miniature version of a modern university?
Beautiful!
Really beautiful!
The layout of the college was specially designed by Li Zexuan according to the yin and yang and five elements of Taoism. Just looking at the sandbox made people feel very comfortable.
"Husband, is this your Yanhuang College?"
While Li Zexuan stood in front of the sandbox in a daze, Han Yuxi quietly came behind him. Seeing the garden that was very different from the current architectural style, Han Yuxi was amazed and then asked softly.
"Yes! However, this is not my academy alone. This is our family's academy ~! Wife, do you like it? "
Li Zexuan came back to his senses, put his arm around his wife's shoulder, and said softly.
Our family's academy!
Hearing this, Han Yuxi felt a trace of sweetness in her heart. She quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I like it! Husband, your college looks so magnificent! "
