Construction sites are no fun places to be, especially in blustery weather like this.

The land designated by the government is located in the suburbs. Chang Qin drove for two hours to get there. He parked the car outside the gate of the construction site and saw a black Passat parked on the side of the road ahead. With one white arm, the exposed half silhouette was concentrating on flipping through the documents in his hand. Chang Qin walked over in two or three steps and knocked on the car door.

The people in the car looked up at him, packed up the documents in their hands, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Why did you change the car? Where's the cool sports car from before?" Chang Qin asked.

"Sold." Xi Ling answered briefly, carrying a shoulder bag.

Selling the Porsche and buying a Passat, Chang Qin thought it was too much. What was even more puzzling was that he used to drive a Porsche and wore a nondescript outfit, but now that he changed to a Passat, his attire had improved by several levels.Today's Xi Ling no longer wears formal clothes, but casual jeans with a dark black T-shirt, simple and clean, and there will never be a third color.

Chang Qin intuitively felt that something must have happened to Xi Ling in the past few years, which caused his temperament to change so drastically. He was about to ask, when he caught a glimpse of the other party's stern face, he vaguely remembered the ten thousand year iceberg that accompanied him to see his father and uncle. face, and swallowed the words back into his mouth.

"I appreciate your approach very much." Seeing that Chang Qin was silent, Xi Ling spoke first.

"What?" Chang Qin asked in confusion.

"If you want to do a good job in architecture, you must first understand history, which is why I decided to take on this project." Xi Ling said calmly, looking into the distance.

"Architects should know a lot of history, as Master Vitruvius said." Chang Qin glanced at Xi Ling and continued, "Architects must be literate, have knowledge of drawing, master geometry, optics, arithmetic, philosophy, Medicine, astronomy, law, and history. For example, the ancients did not have loudspeakers, so they closed and placed bronze cylinders under the seats in the theater, and placed them in groups along the circular sections of the theater according to mathematical principles, so that the sound on the stage can be Accurate positioning in the entire theater will make the audience sound clearer and more pleasant. The wisdom of the predecessors is still worth learning even in today's technologically advanced world."

""Ten Books on Architecture"" Xi Ling replied, sensing the admiration in the other party's eyes, and added lightly, "This is a must-read book for every architect, so I naturally want to make up for it."

Chang Qin nodded, took out the original floor plan, outlined the preliminary plan with Xi Ling, and at the same time asked the other party what was illegal.

The wind was blowing, and there was no sheltered building for hundreds of miles. After a while, both of them were blown into shaggy hairs, and they were blinded by the wind and sand from time to time. The situation was miserable.

"That's roughly what it means." Chang Qin frowned and finished the plan in a few words.

Xi Ling nodded, but didn't intend to leave. "I want to take a look at the drainage system here." After finishing speaking, he walked to the depths.

Chang Qin had no choice but to follow closely behind. In fact, since the approval of this land, he has never been to the site. Before starting to design, going to the construction site is an indispensable thing. I really forgot that I needed to come over and explore these details on the spot.

Xi Ling didn't talk much, other than taking notes, he just took measurements everywhere. He was more skilled than Chang Qin, a professional architect. The jeans were full of mud, and the top was too dark to see that it was dirty. Chang Qin was miserable. He completely forgot that it had been raining for the past few days, and the construction site was full of mud puddles. His light-colored casual clothes turned gray in an instant.

"This..." Back at the gate of the construction site, Chang Qin flicked his shirt speechlessly, "How can I see people at night?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Ling turned around and asked, "Are you still entertaining at night?"

Chang Qin glanced at him, and said understandingly: "Don't worry, it's definitely not drinking. I won't touch alcohol for the past six months, and I'm almost going crazy from alcohol."

Xi Ling nodded and continued walking.

Seeing his serious face, Chang Qin didn't seem to believe his explanation, so he quickly added, "I'm going to see my master."

Xi Ling looked at him for a moment, "Oh, then I'll go back first." After speaking, he got into the car by himself.

what's the situation?The gene has mutated.Chang Qin thought dully.After watching the other party leave, he went straight home, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, bought some fresh fruit on the street, and went straight to Xu Yiran's house.

The teacher opened the door for Chang Qin, and seeing several bags of fruit in his hands, she couldn't help but scold him: "You came here as soon as you came, and what else do you bring, and the teacher will be unhappy if you see others like this."

"Just a little fruit is not a respect." Chang Qin smiled politely, "I heard that Master is not in good health. I have been busy these days and have no time to see him. I wonder if Master is better?"

"I had a fever a few days ago, but I'm much better now. I'm in the study. Come in." The teacher's wife greeted him cheerfully.

It's obvious that I'm sick, so what I said made me go home angrily.After secretly greeting Xiao Yu's eight generations of ancestors, Chang Qin put on a smiling face and bowed very gracefully: "Hello, Master."

Xu Yiran is only a dozen years older than his two apprentices, but because he entered the industry early, he likes to make kung fu tea and practice brush calligraphy when he has nothing to do, so he always gives people the illusion that he is old-fashioned. The work is extremely rigorous and meticulous. When Chang Qin and Xiao Yu were by his side, they were often scolded. But aside from work, Xu Yiran loved the two apprentices in private. Praise, his master also gained a lot of credit.

Seeing Chang Qin, Xu Yiran hurriedly beckoned him to sit across from him, and skillfully started making tea. Chang Qin was not polite, and chatted with the master while drinking.

"I forgot to congratulate you, the cultural village project has been officially in charge of you." Xu Yiran knew the purpose of Chang Qin's trip, and said straight to the point.

"Master approves, but apprentice feels ashamed." Chang Qin bowed his head and said humbly.

"You really should be ashamed." Xu Yiran never played cards according to common sense, and never said polite words on the stage. He has offended many people directly, but Chang Qin has long been aware of Master's temper. Hearing him say that now, he is not depressed, instead he straightened his back and listened to Master's teachings. "The old factory renovation project, everyone is praising you, almost praising you to the sky. I think you have completely forgotten your original intention of learning architecture."

"The disciples dare not, but still look to the master for instruction."

"Six elements of architecture, you can recite it again and I will listen to it."

"Architecture is composed of six elements." Chang Qin said calmly, "ordering, layout design, well-proportioned shapeliness, balanced symmetry, proper correctness and allocation. Master, I always remember what you told me when I first entered the industry That sentence is 'Don't build inexplicable houses, don't make inexplicable designs'."

Hearing Chang Qin finish reciting humbly and politely, Xu Yiran's attitude eased a lot. He sighed and poured a cup of tea for his apprentice: "The company just signed the cultural village project, and people kept coming to me. Everyone thought I must I am the main case designer of this project. I know that when I go out now, people are waiting to see my jokes. Although you are on the rise at this time, but you have abandoned your original intention and only designed for design. One day, you will also come to This is my step."

"Master." Chang Qin said sincerely, "As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. I will never forget your teachings. No matter how high or far I climb, I will always be your apprentice."

Xu Yiran carefully examined Chang Qin for a long time, and rarely showed a smile: "You and Xiao Yu are both my most proud disciples, and I really did not misunderstand you."

"Master, actually, I'm here today and I want to hear your opinion. After all, it's my first time designing an ancient building and I have no experience with it. I want to tell you the general idea in my heart, and I hope you can correct me." As he spoke, he took out the original drawing that he had discussed with Xi Ling in the afternoon, and began to draw carefully against the drawing.

Chang Qin knew in his heart that there was nothing wrong with Xu Yiran, he just had a great face, and the position of chief designer was pushed by him. The last thing he could not pass was the apprenticeship. If you don't take yourself seriously, you will really get angry.There are three thousand disciples of Confucius, among them there are many eminent ones, such as his disciple Zilu, who became famous outside the world, but he still bowed his knees when he returned to his teacher. Don't forget your shape, and never shirk when it's time for introspection.

After several humbly asking for advice, Xu Yiran obviously let go of his airs, insisted on keeping Chang Qin for dinner, and asked his wife to open a few bottles of beer.

Chang Qin: "..."

Seeing his bitter expression, Xu Yiran thought he was being polite to him, so he ordered his wife to prepare a few plates of side dishes, and told his disciples to eat with confidence.

Chang Qin really couldn't shirk it, and it's hard to say that he was drinking too much every day. Now when he smelled alcohol, he would feel like he was two big, so he could only pinch his nose and drink a few glasses with him.

This time, he controlled it properly, and he didn't get drunk, but Chang Qin was still a little shaky when he left Xu Yiran's house. He took out his mobile phone and called all the team members in turn, but no one could spare. Time to come and drive for him.

He put down his phone embarrassingly, gritted his teeth and vowed that everyone's bonuses will be withheld this month, and was about to find a substitute driver when he suddenly scratched a name: Xi Ling.

Chang Qin laughed a few times, remembering that he had sworn in the afternoon that he would never drink at night, and now he was leaning against the wall again, he could imagine that Lawyer Xi on the phone wanted to smash his flame-breathing appearance.wait!Why promise him?Chang Qin shook his head inexplicably, but tapped the call button with his finger.

Not long after, the other party picked up the phone, Chang Qin laughed twice, and said pleasantly, "Lawyer Xi, are you still asleep?"

"Is there something wrong?" Xi Ling said concisely as always.

"I just came out of Master's house, and after listening to some of his suggestions, I decided to invite you to participate in the design of the cultural village project with me."
