Divine Light Warrior

To be honest, the old prince was a little partial to Li Kaiyang because of his skills in this young man. I was still a little surprised. They had a lot of craftsmen here, but compared to Li Kaiyang, they all had their own strengths. Lao Wang also wanted to learn from each other's strengths and let him stay and serve the palace.

Although this is a palace, he does make a living by paying tribute to the palace and making chairs and benches, although he can receive a large number of rewards from the emperor every year. However, craftsman skills are still required, and you will be punished if things are not made well. Over the years, their palace's craftsmanship has become famous. His status also became higher and higher. On the peninsula, all state officials were under his control, which made Lao Wang understand in his heart that if he hadn't gained the emperor's favor by supplying these high-quality tables and chairs, this prince would I'm afraid his status is not guaranteed, especially the new arrival here. His momentum is a bit aggressive. Why did the old prince hold a banquet this time and invite all the officials on the island? He just wanted to win over people and isolate the newcomer. This mansion is a bit ungrateful and always finds fault with the old prince. Giving him little shoes to wear made the old prince very unhappy. This time he received an order from the emperor to quickly transport the dragon bed to the palace. The dragon bed was made very well, but the old prince was still a little worried because this kind of wood was afraid of being too moist. If the moisture was heavy, After. Some spots will form on the surface of the dragon bed, although these spots are harmless. But he was afraid that the emperor would be dissatisfied at the critical moment.

The old prince left Li Kaiyang behind. I also wanted him to give more valuable opinions from different angles. Although I never said these words to Li Kaiyang, I just praised him for his good craftsmanship and then discussed letting him stay. Li Kaiyang wanted to leave, thinking it would be a big disaster, but Unexpectedly, he was appreciated by the old prince. Tell me, isn't this drama reversed? He didn't know what the boy's purpose was. It seemed that there was no risk. Of course, as he said, someone reported him. They, the stool was lost, it was these craftsmen who caused it. Lao Wang Yeye didn't care about this, and the risk was not as big as imagined. It was resolved easily. So it was safe and stayed in the palace. The old king wouldn't let him go and respected him. What else was he afraid of?

So he and Xiaolan were entertained by distinguished guests, and the two of them were arranged in a very nice house. What Lao Wang also asked him to do was to follow these craftsmen and maintain this dragon bed every day until it was shipped. Li Kaiyang thought that there was nothing I could do, so I could just go through the motions. These craftsmen hold a meeting every day to discuss how to protect this bed. Some people say that the doors and windows of the warehouse where this dragon bed is stored should be opened to allow ventilation. This will avoid moisture accumulation, causing corrosion on the surface, and forming Lots of little spots.

Li Kaiyang wondered if the wood was also oxidized? He didn't take it seriously. He thought that the more closed it was, the better it might be for the wood. However, others spoke softly and no one would listen to what they said. So he just thought about it in his mind and didn't dare to tell everyone in person. Everyone just followed the leader. Open all the windows around the dragon bed.

How about it? after a few days. Li Kaiyang suddenly saw that there seemed to be many small mosquitoes lying on the bed. He didn't know what the phenomenon was, so he asked an old master. The old master didn't pay attention at first, but when he took a closer look, he was so frightened that he jumped up. He pointed at the fly on it and said, "It means that the wood is moldy." It has gone bad. We must report the situation quickly. He and this old man were divided into a group. They are on duty every two days and patrol here. In fact, Li Kaiyang is not in the mood now. He is anxious to see if there are any white turtles. Kezi, if you don't, just leave here quickly, even if you leave without saying goodbye, it doesn't matter. But now he wants to leave but can't. The reason is very simple. These people are both his companions and people monitoring him. This is troublesome.

How is this going? Li Kaiyang really remembered what the boy said again. He said that they tricked people from outside into coming inside just to frame the blame on others. Could it be that the old prince had bad intentions after all? But look at these people, they have nothing to eat or drink. They live in the same place as themselves, and even as a guest of honor, they receive much more preferential treatment than them. It doesn't seem like they are deliberately making things difficult and putting the blame on themselves.

Later, Li Kaiyang couldn't help but ask the man who was on duty with him. He asked, "Master, how many years have you been working here? The old man liked to smoke dry cigarettes. He picked up the pipe and took a puff in his mouth. Then he blew out a smoke ring and said, "I have been working here for more than ten years. I used to do carpentry at home. Later, when they heard that I was good at my craftsmanship, they recruited me into the palace. I have been doing very well here for more than ten years. "

Li Kaiyang proved through the simplicity of this man's speech that he had no bad intentions. Although he meant to monitor him when he was with him every day, he had no intention of framing him.

He said bluntly, "I heard a junior officer say that no one who comes here will end up good. I mean temporary recruits like me. Do you have any intentions towards me?"

The old man looked at it with wide eyes, and then said with a sneer, "This has happened before. After they lost the tables, chairs and benches, they found someone to top up the tank. But you are definitely not in that situation. The old prince is serious. After taking a fancy to your craftsmanship, mainly because of the light coming out of your hands, I directly flattened the kick head. This is something we can't do. Of course, we also realize that you may not be as good as us in carving craftsmanship. , but with this, I can use you when making drastic changes.”

Li Kaiyang said, "Then why are you still monitoring me? It seems that every move I make is inseparable from your discernment."

The old man said: "It also means that I am afraid that you will change your mind and run away. The prince specifically asked us to hold you a little longer and not let you run away at the critical moment, because Grandpa Wang said that we all have families here. He is the only one who doesn’t have you, and he doesn’t want to detain you, so he just wants us to keep an eye on you.”

After hearing these explanations, Li Kaiyang's heart dropped. Then the old man told him that the increase in mosquitoes on the dragon bed was not a good sign. Li Kaiyang himself did not actually take any risks. Good or bad, then It can only be the old prince's own business. However, out of consideration for his friends, he still suggested closing the doors and windows. What he said makes sense. This is an island. The humidity on the island is relatively high, so it is easier to keep the doors and windows open. , let the dragon bed get damp, the old man and he had similar views, so the two people reported this view to a supervisor who managed their gang.

The man shook his head after hearing this. He pointed at this and said to the old man, "What have you been thinking about all day? We always open the windows to ventilate and disperse moisture. You made a stuffy jar today. If this bed is because of your inexplicable thoughts, , who will bear the responsibility if something goes wrong? I do not bear this responsibility. If you dare to do it, you can do it."

Once Li Kaiyang heard him speak like this, who would dare to insist on his own opinion? He immediately advised the old man not to do this. It's better to follow their ideas. The old man also had a stubborn temper, and he refused to listen to Li Kaiyang's advice. You must act according to your own opinions. So he would close the doors and windows when he was on duty, and let others do whatever they liked while on duty.

Li Kaiyang thought, we alone cannot play a decisive role in the past few days. Everyone must abide by a rule.

There were really dark spots on that bed. The problem suddenly became huge, and someone immediately informed the old prince. The old prince came over to check it out in person. He clapped his hands and said, "Oh, after the emperor sees this, how can we do business?" The person in charge of carpentry said. "This is all done by Lao Liangtou. He took the new one with him. He had to close the windows tightly to ensure that the bed would not collapse and become moldy. That's okay."

Others added insult to injury and put the blame on them. Over time, Lao Liangtou and Li Kaiyang became the culprits. No one defended them, and the situation they had worked so hard to maintain was broken by some ignorant people.

Li Kaiyang was the most unconvinced. He stood up and said to the old prince, "Your Majesty, I think what they did was wrong. They were the ones who caused the dark spots. The old prince took a look at Li Kaiyang. In fact, he quite trusted him. Li Kaiyang, stroking his beard, said, "Anyway, no matter whose fault it is, the mistake has caused us to have no way to explain it to the higher ups. I don't want to blame any of you. Everyone has worked hard. I just want who of you to take it." Find a way to remove these dark spots. "

Someone said: "Wipe it with a soft cloth."

Some people object to using it up, "wiping it with a soft cloth will destroy the gloss of the furniture surface, which will make it even more ugly."

Li Kaiyang recalled that when he was a child, Uncle Qi San always put the furniture in the drying room to dry it in order to speed up the sale when he was making furniture. He thought that there must be no such conditions here. If he could create a similar environment to the drying room, It’s not certain whether the conditions in the drying room can remove these dark spots, but this is an idea after all, and I can’t say whether it will work, so he boldly proposed, “I want to give it a try. I wonder if you dare to let me take this risk?" Everyone stared at him to see what kind of strange move he would make. Li Kaiyang said, "I want to dry it in the drying room, maybe Those black spots will fall off automatically. This statement is so unexpected. How could such a precious ebony dragon bed be allowed to be dried in a drying room? In fact, it is not that they have no knowledge of drying rooms. Drying rooms are still available in some food-making workshops, but drying this furniture is something they have never experienced. They dry it naturally, whether in the sun or in a drying room.

When Lao Wang heard what he said, he warned him, "You must be sure. You can't damage this dragon bed any further. Now that it has black spots, we can barely communicate. If the dragon bed is completely destroyed, then But it was so precious that people worked hard to carve it for four to five years.

When Li Yangyang said this, he was a little scared. Of course, he was not absolutely sure. He only dared to say this based on impulse and a little knowledge. If the old prince wanted him to give it a try, he would He thought, it would be fine if I made a mistake anyway, the worst I could do is open the Qiankun instrument cabinet and run away. Whoever wants to receive this punishment will receive this punishment. After gaining this courage, he said confidently, "I can give it a try." I can’t guarantee [-]% success, but you have to give me confidence.”

The old prince asked him to tell him his plans and ideas. He said that he would place a dragon bed in the middle of a house and light a dozen braziers around it. I think it will be effective within three to five days.

Sure enough, Lao Wang agreed and did as he said.

Where can I find the most suitable house? There are plenty of houses in the prince's mansion, but it took me a long time to find a suitable house. Li Kaiyang was worried. He just had ideas and no facilities, so he walked around the palace. One day he walked to a small garden and heard the gentle sound of the piano. He followed the sound of the piano. The sound was gentle and sweet. Like mountains and flowing water. He walked into the pavilion and saw that the pavilion was closed, had windows and doors, and was surrounded by window paper. He suddenly had an idea. This is a good natural place. It would be great if the dragon bed was placed in the middle and surrounded by braziers. So he walked in to see what was going on inside. After walking in , the sight in front of him shocked him, a fairy-looking woman was sitting on a futon, with a lyre in front of her playing music, and a little maid sitting next to him, who was beating the surroundings for her. Mosquito, after Li Kaiyang just walked in, they didn't notice anyone coming, and they were still playing their own music engrossed in it. The little maid saw his shadow and then turned back alertly and asked: "Who are you? What are you doing?" Came here?"

At this time, the young lady playing the piano turned around. She was very surprised when she saw Li Kaiyang. She didn’t know what kind of person he was here. Li Kaiyang quickly explained to them, “Miss, don’t panic, I am I am a new carpenter in the palace. I want to find a room to dry the dragon bed that our palace pays tribute to. I happened to come here. I think this is a good place. I wonder if I can borrow it. .”

The young lady looked at him in shock, and the maid spoke. "Bold, do you know where this place is? This is the residence of the lady in our mansion. Why did you come just when you asked, and the guard didn't stop you?"

Li Kaiyang suddenly realized that he saw that the young lady's dress was really different. She was wearing brocade and a phoenix hairpin. This is not the appearance of a ladylike princess. He quickly lowered his head and saluted, apologizing again and again. "I'm really sorry, Miss. I didn't mean to offend. I really can't find a more suitable house. When I get back, I will report it to the old prince and adopt his opinion. It would be best if I don't have to live here with you. I'll try not to It will disturb the lady."
