Go to college with space

There was a new case in Qu Fan's team, and it took three days to tidy up the yard. The newly planted trees had already begun to sprout, and the yard would be full of greenery in a short time.

Taking the address given by Qu Fan, Mi Le found the house of the craftsman who made the furniture, which also lived in a courtyard. Mi Le walked in and saw a lot of wood in the yard, and three people were sawing wood in the middle of the yard.From Qu Fan's introduction, he knew that the master craftsmen here are traditional craftsmen and their ancestors were carpenters, which can be traced back to the Ming Taizu period.

They make furniture entirely by hand without using any mechanized things. Although the workshop is small, it is very famous in the capital.

"Men, what's the matter?" Seeing someone coming in, a 30-year-old master stopped the plane in his hand.

I heard the question, "I want to make furniture, can I do it?"

The master turned over the wood, "It's okay to make furniture, what kind of one is it? How big is it? We can do it, but the work is very tight now, so I'm afraid you will have to wait for a long time."

Mi Le was not surprised at all. They were originally slow in handcrafting, but it was fine if they could be finished. "I want to make seven sets of furniture in Ming and Qing styles. It doesn't matter if it takes longer."

The three people in the yard stopped what they were doing when they knocked him down. "Seven sets?"

"Yes, seven sets."

The master put down the plane in his hand, "You have to come with me to see my master."

Follow him to the side courtyard, where several masters are working, came to the west wing room, knocked on the door, after a while, saw a middle-aged man in his 40s frowning and opened the door .

"Master, this master wants to buy seven sets of Ming and Qing furniture."

The middle-aged man was a little surprised to see Mi Le, and pushed the glasses on his nose, "Hello, let's talk inside."

Most of the house is a workshop, only the north of the house has drum tables and stools.In the middle of the room is a large wooden table with woodworking tools and some papers in a mess.

After the two sat down, the middle-aged man arrived with two cups of tea, "I'm in charge of this place now. My surname is Li. What kind of furniture are you going to make?"

Mi Le took a sip of tea, "I want to make Ming and Qing style furniture and put them in the courtyard. There are seven rooms to be furnished. If possible, I hope Master Li can take a look. I don't know much about these. The rest of the family The house needs something too."

Master Li nodded, "If it's a courtyard house, you need to measure the size. Then we'll talk about the style after you have seen it. Do you make the material yourself or we will just make it together?"

"I have lumber myself."

Master Li said, "We are all handmade, and it takes a long time to make, but you can rest assured that the quality will be fine. The manual cost will be calculated according to the wood you provide." Although they have a lot of work, it is generally quite a big job to prepare materials by themselves. Yes, generally better materials are made by him and his younger brother, and the general materials are made by their apprentices.

Mi Le didn't care about the labor cost, as long as it was done well, he heard from Qu Fan that Li, the carpenter, was also named Li as his apprentice. It's a little far."

Master Li thought for a while, "Let's go now, first look at the material, then go to the courtyard to settle the job."

Mi Le took Master Li and his apprentice to the warehouse he rented. When he came here in the morning, he put the processed wood in the space first.Mi Le likes to carve. When he has nothing to do, he studies in the space. He is already very skilled in processing trees in the space to a level suitable for carving.

Anyway, it was a round, and he chose good materials, golden nanmu, red sandalwood, rosewood, red rosewood, and huanghuali.

Opening the warehouse door, the three of them saw that pieces of wood were stacked neatly in the warehouse.

At first, the warehouse was dark and it was hard to see what kind of wood it was. He went inside and turned on the light. When he came back, he saw the master and apprentice lying on the wood and watching carefully. The expression on their faces was like seeing a peerless beauty.

Master Li first took a general look, and then stayed in front of the red sandalwood, took out a tape measure to measure one by one, and looked carefully, "This is small-leaf red sandalwood, each of which is about [-] centimeters long, and the density is also large, with small brown eyes. , It’s an old material, and I can’t find such a good material now.” Master Li looked at it and muttered, and the apprentice over there said to Master Li in surprise, “Master, look at this huanghuali.”

Master Li walked over. The diameter of this huanghuali tree is 69 cm. I thought it was yellower. After all, the sea yellow is a protected tree species, and such a large piece of material is basically extinct.It is not the case when I look closely now, the oil is sufficient, the density is high, and the color is red and purple, which is completely the characteristic of sea yellow. Sea yellow is even denser.

"Are you from Hainan?" Master Li turned his head and asked Mi Le.

He watched anxiously from the side, afraid that the tree would be too different from the reality, "I don't know, it was left by my grandfather." Things that cannot be explained can only be placed on the grandfather.

Master Li knew that there was nothing to ask, but he almost confirmed it. After all, this tree is better than Haihuang, and it should be the best among Haihuang.

Master Li and his apprentice circled around the materials in the warehouse several times, admiring non-stop. Mi Le looked at his watch and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. "Master Li, do you think we should go to the courtyard?" He said like Is it because the aura in the space is so strong that these plants grow well? The space has evolved in the past two days, and the trees have become much thicker, just like the small-leaved red sandalwood. It was originally less than five centimeters, but after changes, most of them grew to ten or twenty centimeters , otherwise it will not work this time.

Master Li pushed down his glasses, "It's quite unexpected to see these materials. It's the first time I've come across such good materials in the furniture I've been making for so many years. If you're not in a hurry, I want my master to take a look. He The old man hasn't done anything for a few years, and the materials in this warehouse are still worth his hands."

As soon as Mi Le heard it, "Master Li, don't bother with you, just call me Mi Le. To be honest, I wanted to find Mr. Li at first, but I heard that he hadn't done it for a few years, so I gave up on it." Yes, it's the same when I want to find you, now it's my wish to let the old man see me."

Master Li showed the first smile when he saw him, "That's it, my master went outside to collect materials today, come back tomorrow, how about we have a look tomorrow?"

Nodded, he has all the time now, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Okay, what's your phone number?" Master Li's apprentice called over there, and Mi Le called, "This is my phone number, call tomorrow Bar."

Master Li nodded, "Then let's contact tomorrow, let's go."

When I got home, there was no one in the yard. Aunt Lin Shulin went to the hospital, but Ah Fu was at home, but since he came back, he got along well with the wolf dog in the front yard. He was tired of being together all day, and he simply ate something. Came to the study.

The study is the side room of the main room in the front yard, which is divided into two rooms by a floor-to-ceiling cover. When entering the door, a tea table is placed beside the west gable wall, two armchairs are placed on both sides, a bookcase is placed on the north side, and a table-shaped table is placed on the right hand side of the door. The fish tank is covered with a floor-to-ceiling cover, and there is a desk with several books next to the window in the back room.A large desk and armchairs are placed against the east wall, and an arhat bed is placed against the floor covering on the north.

Mi Le went into the study room and found a book. The study room was still quite hot. After Mi Le came back, Uncle Lin heated up the boiler for fear that he, who was used to the southern winter, would freeze.Leaning on Luohan's bed, reading professional books, I haven't read much during the Chinese New Year, and I'm afraid it will be difficult when the school starts.

Time passed unknowingly, and Mi Le, who was immersed in the book, was disturbed by the barking of the dog. After a while, he heard Ah Fu barking at the door, and walked out. Ah Fu was pushing the door hard, but the door It is opened outwards.

Seeing him come out, Ah Fu counted on him to pounce on him, Mi Le held up its belly and was careful not to let him stand on his little feet on the dirt, and walked to the door, two wolf dogs stood at the gate and stared at the outside.

When I walked out, it turned out that someone was here.There is a copper lion head on the gate of the courtyard, with a copper ring in its mouth. Usually, when someone comes, the sound of gold and copper is very easy to distinguish. Sometimes the gate of the courtyard is simply opened, and no one will come in even if there is no one in the front yard. The wolfdog is very dedicated.

Open the door, "Qi Mufei?" What a surprise.

In the square hall, tea was poured, "Are you looking for Qu Fan? He may not come here."

Qi Mufei took a sip of tea, "I'm not here to look for him, I'm here to look for you."

"Looking for me?" There was no intersection between them.

Qi Mufei hesitated, but said, "I hope you can visit my grandma."

What is the relationship between your grandma and me? Mi Le was about to ask this sentence when he suddenly thought of the old lady she met at the school gate last year. Her surname was Qi. Mi Le's beautiful face suddenly froze. Swallowed it back again.

Qi Mufei saw the change in his face, "You know, Auntie should have told you. My grandma is your grandma. Grandma suddenly fell ill a few years ago. It was found to be cancer. After all, she might be so old. She misses you very much, and there are photos of you on the bedside, I hope you can go and see her, so that she can go for the operation without regret. "

Mi Le clenched his fists and frowned, "My mother never mentioned it, and I only vaguely knew about it from my parents' conversations. I don't understand the situation. I have to ask my mother about this matter before I can decide." "I don't know what happened back then, because of this, his mother didn't return to Yanjing for so many years.

Qi Mufei was a little anxious, "It's not that I want to disturb you, I just want you to go to the hospital, even if it's only for 5 minutes, and let grandma see you. Isn't that okay?"

Sighing, he calmed down a little, "I'm sorry." Anyway, he had to tell his mother about it, if he went to see it secretly, then it would be the mother who would be hurt.

Qi Mufei was very disappointed, "Well, you are thinking about it."

Maybe it's not without a twist, it's all up to the mother.

The two were a little silent. After sitting for a while, Qi Mufei said goodbye and went to the house. Mi Le was sent outside. Qi Mufei, who walked out of the courtyard, waved to Mi Le, thinking in his heart that Mi Le was still his younger brother according to blood relationship. It's just that he didn't know if he would have a chance to hear him call brother.

After Qi Mufei left, Mi Le has been hesitating whether to make a call, thinking about asking Qu Fan to give him an idea, but Qu Fan hasn't come back very late, and he doesn't have the mind to read, so he just leans on the kang, looking at outside the window.

When Qu Fan came back, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night. As soon as he walked through the vertical flower door, he saw the light in the main room was on. When he walked in, he saw that the window screen was lifted, revealing Mi Le's sleeping face.

When he entered the room, he took off his clothes first, and waited for the cold air on his body to dissipate before stepping forward to pick up Mi Le and put him on the bed.

"Well, you're back, have you eaten yet?" Mi Le woke up as soon as he hugged her, and she was still awake with something on her mind.

Seeing him wake up, he put it down again, sat beside him and "eat." He lowered his head and grabbed the bright red lips, caressing them carefully.

Wrapping his arms around him, he was close to him, like a poppy that you can't get rid of after dipping it in. You are even more eager to absorb the warmth from your lover, cuddling each other, and you can feel the throbbing in your heart through the touch of the skin.I will clearly feel that this man is mine and he loves me.Wanting to give more, wanting to carve an imprint deep in his soul.

After the passion, the two lay on the kang, Mi Le lay on Qu Fan's body, and told Qu Fan that Qi Mufei had come over in the afternoon.

"Grandma Qi Mufei is actually your grandmother? Then his father is your uncle." Qu Fan was a little hesitant to turn the corner.

Mi Le patted Qu Fan's chest, and there was a crisp 'pa' sound, "He and my mother seem to be half-brothers. I don't know the details. I was wondering if I should ask my mother. Waiting for you to come back and help me as a staff officer."

He stroked his soft hair, "I think you should ask, maybe your uncles and aunts didn't tell you before because you were young, but now that you are an adult, you should let you know. Besides, blood is thicker than water, how can they say so?" Mother and daughter, all the grievances have disappeared after so many years, not to mention, your mother should still want to reconcile, otherwise why would you come to Yanjing to study. He should know that there will be encounters in Yanjing. "

Mi Le pressed against his chest, "Do you still remember, when you picked me up from school last year, there was an old lady next to me, that was my grandmother, my mother looked very much like her, I think she Come see me at school."

Qu Fan also remembered, "No wonder the old man looked familiar to me at the time, and you look like your grandma. You can call tomorrow and you will know the result."

Nodded, "Well, you've been tired all day, go to sleep." In fact, the answer is already in my heart, and I just need Qu Fan's support.
