Infrastructure masters in the red building

In the evening, Jia had dinner in his small courtyard.Mrs. Sun went out for a trip, and when she came back, she told Jia Fang with a smile that a small jar of kimchi for Jia Min had been sent. Jia Min replied, thank you for thinking about it, and rewarded Mrs. Sun with half a penny.

Jia Fang thought about it, and asked Sun to buy more materials and utensils after the market opened, and to pickle a few more jars of pickles.

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden flash in the sky, followed by spring thunder.Immediately, Sun clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name, saying: "Open your eyes, please don't go on like this again."

After Jia Fang asked, he found out that since last autumn, there has been less rain in the north, and the area around Gyeonggi is fine. I heard that there are droughts in farther states and counties, which may be mild or severe.The Holy Majesty once went to the altar to pray for rain in person.But the big households in central Beijing rely on deep wells for water and water, and a child of the government like Jia Fang is unaware of the drought in the distance.

Jia Fang comforted Sun: "Mother Sun, don't worry, it will definitely rain tonight."

Sure enough, there was a lot of rain at night, and the spring thunder followed one after another.Water droplets dripped from the eaves, knocking on the stone steps under the eaves, rustling, endlessly.

People say that "spring rain is as expensive as oil", and tonight in the capital, God is broadcasting it. Such precious spring rain falls on the ground as if it does not cost money-I don't know if it is because the royal family gave enough sacrifices during the sacrifice.

Jia Fang couldn't fall asleep when there was a little noise, and he slowly thought about the small courtyard that Jia Amnesty took him to see today.

He is engaged in architectural design, and knows the principle of safety first. No matter how beautiful the appearance of any building, no matter how delicate the structure is, if there is a problem with the load-bearing structure, no matter how good the house is, it will only be a dilapidated house.

That small courtyard was like this, the large powder screen wall and the paint that hadn't fallen off everywhere gave people an illusion of "okay".But when Jia Fang went in to look at it, he found that several load-bearing columns had been rotten from the inside to the outside. In addition, the roof was leaking, and the sky could be seen when he looked up. Jia Fang immediately decided that the house was definitely a dangerous house, and it might be prone to danger during renovation. , it is best to find someone to build scaffolding directly from the roof.

But judging from what Jia Amnesty meant, he still wanted to start the renovation immediately before Jia Daishan returned to Beijing, so that he could do enough "superficial work" to show his father.

It never occurred to Jia Fang to oppose his plan, and said that renovating the yard might threaten the safety of construction workers.The two brothers disagreed, so Jia Fang got into a fight with Jia She, saying that the main house in the yard would collapse tomorrow.

In order to win the gamble, Jia Amnesty specially put up a seal outside the courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter the courtyard until tomorrow night.

Jia Fang felt that it was safer to seal the yard so that no one would enter by mistake and no one would be injured.Thinking of this, he closed his eyes at ease, and when he got used to the sound of rain, he slowly fell asleep.

The next day, since greeting Mrs. Shi in Rongxi Hall early in the morning, Jia Amnesty has been walking around Jia Fang with a smile on his face.

At noon, the men from the Rong Mansion went to the Ning Mansion to have a banquet together, and Jia Fang still only had to hang around to make up for it.In such an occasion where the whole family was present, even Jia Amnesty didn't say a word, and just stuffed food into his mouth, but it was Jia Zheng, who said some polite and polite things, and the Jia family's children all said a word. Don't know what he's talking about.

After the banquet and returning to the Rong Mansion, Jia Amnesty clung to Jia Fang as usual, and said with a smile, "Third brother, it's not too late!"

Jia Fang smiled: "Brother, our agreement is until midnight."

But Jia She happily taught him a lesson: "You are a little baby, why don't you learn to 'speak straight'? According to me, you should hurry up and prepare the lottery you promised me yesterday."

Obviously, in the small courtyard behind Rongxi Hall, the main house was still there, and nothing happened.

Jia Fang laughed without saying a word, while Jia Amnesty patted his brother on the back again amidst the loud laughter, and invited him to sit in his study outside.The two passed by Rongxi Hall all the way, and they happened to be stopped by Jia Min's maid.The two brothers went together to the three side rooms on the left side of Rongxi Hall, where Jia Min was sitting and resting.

Seeing Jia Amnesty and Jia Fang enter the room, Jia Min put down the things in his hands, got up and bowed to the two, and said to Jia Fang, "Thank you, third brother, for thinking about it, the... kimchi that Sun Mama sent yesterday is a It's delicious." The little girl was serious in her work, since she accepted the gift from Jia Fang, she wanted to thank Jia Fang herself.

Jia Fang shook his hand: "It's a trivial matter, if my sister likes it, I'll ask Grandma to send it later."

Jia Min immediately smiled, and then sat back down.Jia Fang felt that when she smiled innocently, she looked more like a girl in her teens than when she was straight-faced and straight-backed.

Jia Amnesty caught a glimpse of the thing on Jia Min's hand, picked it up, fiddled with it twice and asked, "What is this?"

Jia Min sighed, and said: "It was a gift from the lady of the Wang family in the Du Taiwei's government office. The sister of the Wang family also said that it is up to me to solve this Luban lock."

Jia Fang listened: "Luban lock?" He looked at the things in Jia She's hand, said "yes", and said: "24 Luban locks. This is indeed a bit embarrassing!"

Luban lock is an ancient educational toy, which originated from the mortise and tenon structure of Chinese wooden structures, so it is named after "Luban", the ancestor of carpentry.This kind of toy relies on the interlocking of parts (also called "posts") to make all the parts come together into a whole and fit perfectly.

But the problem is that the common Luban lock toy is six-post.The young lady of the Wang family gave a 24-post Luban lock to a girl in her teens as soon as she came up.

Jia Fang suddenly felt that the other party was a little bullying Jia Min.

Jia Amnesty probably felt the same way, so he handed the Luban lock to Jia Fang and said, "Quick, help our eldest sister remove this lock."

As soon as Jia Fang took it, he opened it naturally.The 24-pillar Luban lock is easy for him, an expert who has studied the mortise and tenon structure, and Jia Fang can remove it even with his eyes closed.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, this Luban lock has become 24 thin wooden strips scattered on the table.

"You—" Jia Min was taken aback, and stood up again holding the table.She couldn't figure out why the Luban lock that she couldn't take apart after tossing for a long time, here Jia Fang took it apart completely, and the movement was so fast that she didn't even see it clearly.

Who knew that Jia Fang misunderstood his sister's meaning, seeing Jia Min so surprised, he thought she was not happy about the Luban lock being removed, so he quickly comforted him: "It's okay, third brother will help you put it back."

I saw Jia Fang's ten fingers flying like flying, and the small wooden strips scattered on the table instantly merged into one again, becoming a complete Luban lock again.

He took it apart happily and fought with ease, while others were only at a loss.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Min were stunned at the same time.After a long while, Jia Min asked, "Third brother, you... how do you do it, teach me!"

Jia Amnesty laughed from the sidelines: "My good brother, it's clear that the little girl from the Wang family brought this thing out on purpose, trying to overwhelm our little girl, but she happened to meet such an expert as my brother..."

Before Jia She could finish his sentence, the three brothers and sisters of the Jia family suddenly jumped up and looked at each other with ashen faces.

"Did the ground move?" Jia Amnesty asked nervously.Just now the three of them felt clearly that the ground under their feet seemed to move, and there was a roar like thunder coming from Rongxi Hall.

But the roar disappeared quickly, and the earth returned to calm.On the contrary, the Rongguo Mansion courtyard became noisy, and people were asking questions everywhere, obviously everyone felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Jia She suddenly turned his head to Jia Fang and asked, "Could it be..."

Before he could finish talking, there was a boy outside who called Jia She loudly, Jia She was afraid of alarming his mother, so he hurried to let someone in.

That young man was the one Jia She had let him guard outside the courtyard behind the Rongxi Hall. At this moment, he ran in with a pale face and said to Jia She out of breath, "It's collapsed...it's collapsed..."

"The courtyard that the Lord ordered to watch... just now, the whole main house collapsed." The boy struggled to speak clearly.

Jia Amnesty opened his eyes wide and turned to stare at Jia Fang.

Jia Fang was a little scared by his stare.

Then Jia Amnesty slapped Jia Fang on the shoulder again, and he said loudly:

"Brother, from now on, I will only call you Jia Banxian!"
