Chapter 510 Foolish Man (33)
"This is the famous Zhao Chao in Kyoto, Painter Zhao."
Zhao Chao nodded.
Mr. Wang had heard some rumors about Zhao Chao before he came here. He heard that although he was extremely talented, he had the temperament of a child. When he saw him today, the rumors turned out to be true.
I don’t know why the prince would recommend such a young painter with mental problems.
The same goes for the Emperor, who spared the world-famous court painter in the palace and had to make him come all the way to such a remote place to pick him up.
However, as His Majesty's most capable confidant, he must not neglect the master's instructions no matter how small they are.
"I came to your mansion this time on the order of my master to invite Mr. Zhao to go to Kyoto and paint some paintings."
When Zhao Chao heard this, he thought, this is not okay!
It would take many, many days to go to Beijing. Tomorrow was New Year's Day, and he and Jiang Tang would go to the lake to enjoy the lanterns together.
"No...well..."
Zhao Chao's mouth was blocked by Mrs. Zhao in time, and Jiang Tang smiled.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir, you have come all the way here, but it is already getting late today. If you don't mind, can you rest at home for one night? Zhao Chao will set off with you to Kyoto tomorrow?"
Mr. Wang nodded, that was his original intention.
I'll be on my way tomorrow, and I'll have more than enough time to get to the Imperial City before the Chinese New Year.
"That's okay, but I'll trouble you a few more."
Mr. Zhao shook his head repeatedly and smiled: "No trouble, no trouble, I will prepare a room for you. You must be tired after traveling all day, so why not drink some hot wine to go away the cold."

Although Mr. Zhao has never seen such a big official, he understands that all he needs to do is support him. Although he is a slave in front of the emperor, he is an old Buddha in front of common people like them, and he must be well served.
On one side, Mr. Zhao accompanied Mr. Wang to eat, drink and chat, while on the other side, Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Chao to the Nuan Pavilion next door.
"You go pack your underwear yourself, and I'll go to the store to prepare some decent robes for you."
Zhao Chao stared blankly at his mother, who was so anxious that in his dictionary, there was no such idea that the emperor was the most noble person in the world.
So he couldn't relate to it. As a person involved, he was as leisurely as a gentleman at this moment, and he still had to drag Jiang Tang to continue making lanterns.
"I won't braid the lanterns for now. Even if I braid them, you won't be able to see them."
Zhao Chao frowned dissatisfied.
"I don't want to go to Kyoto, Jiang Tang, I want to go see the lanterns with you."
Jiang Tang rubbed his head.
"Let's go to Kyoto to watch the lanterns."
Zhao Chao opened his beautiful eyes and asked curiously.
"Do the lanterns in Kyoto also have tigers and rabbits?"
"What are tigers and rabbits? There are also dragon and phoenix lanterns more than ten feet long. Kyoto is much more lively than the county town."
Zhao Chao's eyes lit up, "Then let's take our parents to see it together!"
Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao definitely can't go. The shop at home is the busiest during the Chinese New Year and festivals, so they definitely can't leave it alone.
"Zhao Chao, my parents can't go. And we have to remember that the main purpose of our trip is to paint, and the second is to watch the lanterns and eat delicious food. I saw the man sitting tall, wearing a yellow His robe has a dragon pattern printed on it. That’s the emperor. When you see him, you have to kneel down and salute, you know?”
Jiang Tang didn't want to see Zhao Chao beheaded for contradicting the emperor on his first day at the palace.
So you still need to know the process.
Zhao Chao hugged Jiang Tang's arm and hummed.
"I know what an emperor is."
"If you know, when you are painting for him, remember two things: talk less and do more, and do whatever you are told."
