Cry for Song

Chapter 302 Skillful group of butterflies

There is an old saying: I'm not afraid of the mute talking, but I'm afraid of the deaf. If Wang side didn't see that the door of Li Jie's house was half open, and the people inside seemed to hear a voice outside the door. They were looking up and looked up. I guess they had laughed a lot. Wang side was looking at each other's eyes with the people inside, and the man also saw him and Shen Kuo. He quickly stood up from the stone bench in the yard and walked in the direction of the courtyard door,

"Mr. Shen, why are you here? Please come in." Li Jie opened the door of the courtyard and let Shen Kuo and Wang into the yard,

The yard of ordinary people's homes is naturally not like the garden of bureaucrats and nobles. Standing in the courtyard, you can have a panoramic view of the whole house. According to the current words, a small courtyard is 60 or 70 square meters. There is a main room at the south gate, and there are huts on the east and west sides of the courtyard. There is a ginkgo tree and a tree in the middle of the yard. There is a small table next, and there are paper, pens and inkstones on the table. Just now, Li Jie was sitting here and didn't know what he was writing and painting. There was a small shed on the east wall of the yard, in which some wood was piled up.

Shen Kuo pointed to the king and said, "Ming Zhong, this is my brother. He just like the set of Yanji you made. Isn't he ready to get married? I also want to make a set as usual."

Li Jie hurriedly arched his hand to the king: "I am Li Jie, the character Mingzhong, may I ask this little brother's surname Gao?"

"Oh, I'm Wang Kuo." After Wang said, Shen Kuo gave him a white look. It's okay for this guy to hide his name. Why do he still use his own name?

"Prince Wang, please sit down." With that, he shouted to the room, "Grandma, guests are coming. Send me some water."

Wang Bian and Shen Kuo sat down at the small table under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard. He smiled and said to Shen Kuo, "I don't know if you are coming, sir. The room is too messy. Please sit down first."

Shen Kuo looked around. There were only two stools at the small table, so he said, "Don't stand. There are no stools left. Sit down and talk together."

"Yes, I'll go back to the house and get it." Li Jie said and turned to the main room,

Shen Kuo looked at his back and said to the king, "Look at this man. His former grandfather Li Weiyin, his grandfather Li Dunyu, and his father Li Nangong have all been officials in the court. His brother Li Yu is also an official of the court. Although the official position is not big, his family should be good. Only this person doesn't like to be an official but loves to be a craftsman."

Wang listened to Shen Kuo and laughed, "This is nothing. Even the emperor doesn't love the country and loves to be a carpenter." He said and thought of Zhu Youxiao. Although Master Zhu was the emperor of the apocalypse, he only loved carpenter's work. After saying that, he immediately thought that how did the people of the Song Dynasty know about the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Youxiao was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which was hundreds of years from now.

Fortunately, Li Jie came out of the room at this time. He held a round stool in his hand, followed by a twenty-six-seven woman, holding a tea tray in her hand, and put the tea tray on the table with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Shen is coming. Please drink tea quickly."

Wang Pianming just heard Li Jie calling grandma. Why did a girl come out? He didn't have a problem with hallucinations. He was still slightly stunned and heard Li Jie say, "Grandma, wash some more fruit and give it to you and this prince."

Li Jie is very enthusiastic. Wang looked at him in his thirties, with a medium stature and a slightly red face. How could he call a woman younger than him grandma? "This is obviously a girl's house. How can Brother Li call her grandma?"

The woman smiled as soon as she heard it, and even Shen Kuo laughed. Li Jie was stunned and then said, "The prince is not from Yangzhou at a glance, and his accent is not the same. This grandma is the common name of our Yangzhou people who call her wife." Ancient name)

"Then what do you Yangzhou people call your father's mother?" Wang Bian drank tea and asked, although the quality of this tea is much worse than that of Wang Bian's usual, this morning, Wang Bian first went to the government office and came to Li Jie's residence. He joked with Shen Kuo all the way for a long time, and he was more or less thirsty. On the contrary, he felt that the tea was very delicious.

Seeing that Wang drank a cup of tea in one breath, Li Jie added to Wang's cup: "We call our father's mother grandmother. Is it different from you?"

"Same, same." Wang said quickly, thinking that it would be the same, otherwise the daughter-in-law would call her grandmother. This generation is not a little high,

Li Jie then said, "The prince likes that Yanji. I might as well go to the house another day to approve the size, but I don't know when the prince will get married."

Wang wanted to think that he didn't have a house in Yangzhou and asked him to go anywhere. He glanced at the roof of Li Jie's house and suddenly found a strange thing: "Brother Li, don't worry about the size. It's good to see that Yanji in Brother Shen's house, but I want to make some changes."

"I don't know what the prince wants to make." After Li Jie finished asking, he saw that Wang didn't answer. He just stared at his house and roof,

The king was stunned not because of anything else, but because there were three kinds of private houses in the Song Dynasty, one was the huts where the rural people lived; the second was the half-mud and half-brick earthen houses of the people in the state city, and some of the richer homes would lay some tiles on the roof; and the other was the pavilions and gardens as the king usually lived. Lin's architecturally luxurious house, Li Jie's yard is in Yangzhou, which can be regarded as a middle and lower residents at most, but the house is particularly neat. His house seems to be made of bricks, and the roof is also very special.

First of all, the roof of Li Jie's house is a tile roof, and then the design of this roof, which seems to be no different from that of ordinary people's homes, but if you look carefully, it is different. There is nothing wrong with the tile roof. Shen Kugang also said that Li Jiezu was an official, and it is normal for the family to be richer.

Shen Kuo sat next to the king and stabbed the king with his hand: "Hey, brother, Mingzhong asked you what you want to change. Don't always look at the roof of others."

Wang looked at Shen Kuo and Li Jie. He smiled and said, "Brother Shen, see if this roof is different from others."

Shen Kuo raised his neck and looked left and right for a long time: "It seems a little different, but I can't say it. You talk about it."

Listening to Shen Kuo's question, Li Jie lowered his head and smiled. His husband couldn't say it. Could he bring this young man in his early twenties to see the door? He didn't believe it.

Wang saw Li Jie smiling and said nothing. He said to Shen Kuo, "The roof of a common house is called a hard mountain top, that is, a hard mountain roof. The gables on both sides of the house are flush or slightly higher than the roof. The roof is divided into two slopes with the middle horizontal ridge as the boundary. The left and right gables are either flush with the roof, or higher than the roof. The higher gable is called the wind volcanic wall. Its main function is to prevent the fire from spreading along the house when the fire occurs.

Hearing Wang's words, Li Jie couldn't help nodding. Unexpectedly, the young man could really say something and said, "What's the difference between the prince looking at my roof and the ordinary roof?"

"Brother Li, your roof is slightly higher than the hard top of the mountain. This kind of roof, five ridges and two slopes, and the gables on both sides are recessed into the roof of the palace, so that the end of the peb on the top extends out of the wall and nailed to the wind board. Its characteristic is that the eaves are overhanging outside the gable, and there are a positive ridge and four hanging ridges on the roof, also known as picking or going out of the mountain. This kind of roof was in the Tang Dynasty It hasn't been used for important buildings before. Hanging on the top of the mountain is conducive to rain protection. Am I right? After saying that, Wang looked at Li Jie with a smile,

Li Jie patted his thigh: "Oh, that's right, Mr. Shen, your brother is quite knowledge of architecture."

Shen Kuo curled his lips, a little proud of the king, and a little unconvinced: "Brother, when did you study the art of construction again?"

The king smiled and said, "Where, this method of roof construction flowed into the Japanese slave country after the Tang Dynasty..." He almost said that he attacked the Japanese slave country,

On the contrary, Shen Kuo rushed and said, "Yes, yes, you must have seen it when you went to Korea and the Japanese slaves."

Li Jie frowned and looked at the side of the king. At this time, he began to doubt the true identity of the side of the king in his heart. Does the classy prince in front of him want me to let me work with the king of Zhennan? He thought for a moment and asked, "This prince just said that he would change Yanji. Can you teach him how to change it?"

The king didn't say anything to Shen Kuo about changing Yanji. Shen Kuo snorted, "My brother, I want to make a difficult problem for Mingzhong. If you can't change it, you will lose face in front of my brother."

"Haha, what Brother Shen is talking about. It's better. I don't say how to change it. I also design a kind of furniture similar to Yanji, but I don't use the combination of Yanji. If I design it right, then let your students call me sir, how about it?" Wang said with a smile,

Shen Kuo pulled his sleeve and asked the king to lean over. He whispered in the king's ear, "You stinky boy, are you here to recruit talents or to kick the restaurant?"

"I'll move again when I kick it." Wang came back with a smile and whispered,

Li Jie didn't hear what they said clearly, but he heard Wang Zong also say that he also wanted to design a kind of furniture that can be combined at will like Yanji, but he didn't use the size combination of Yanji. He was curious and said cheerfully, "There must be my teacher for three people. My Yanji is also Huang Bourne's learning, but if you can do something by yourself. It's different. It doesn't matter if I call you sir.

The king smiled slightly. He had played the jigsaw puzzle when he was a child. He had some ideas in his heart when he had seen this Yanji. Referring to his invincible engine, he naturally found that the jigsaw puzzle originated from the butterfly picture of Geshan in the Ming Dynasty, and the Geshan of the Ming Dynasty was inspired by Yanji in the Butterfly Score.

Wang was not in a hurry. He asked Li Jie to cut a piece of paper into a seven-foot square, and then fold it in half as children learns origami. He folds it in half, folds the folded paper in half and then opens it, and then folds it diagonally. Then, spread the whole paper completely, thinking in his heart that according to Geshan's "Butterfly" A few clefs, cut the paper with a knife along the folding line, and as a result, thirteen samples of triangular, trapezoidal and rectangular tables of varying sizes were cut out,

These small table samples, in the hands of the king, spelled out dozens of placement methods in a short time, directly fooling Shen Kuo and Li Jie,

Li Jie didn't come to his senses for a long time. He looked at those desktop samples of different shapes and asked, "Sir, does your family have a name?"

"Yes, this is called a butterfly. Look, does this triangular, trapezoidal and rectangular table look like butterfly wings." The king thought while drawing, looking at the two people's straight eyes and salivating, I was David Copperfield of the Song Dynasty,
