Stylistic road

Lao Jin still has a bit of knowledge, and inevitably he loves to show off.

"Xiao Chen, did you know that this house has been empty for so long, and there is such a thick layer of ash on the ground. Why is there no grass growing in the place where the green bricks are paved? Although it is winter, there is no dead grass. Do you know why this is." Lao Jin began to show off his mystery.

"Yeah, why is that? The bricks in the community are covered with grass in the cracks. There is indeed no grass on this road. Only the garden grows. The brick walkways are not very long. There is no inside either." Chen Mingliang is indeed a little confused

"The grass in the community is cultural bricks. If there is no grass here, the ancients pay attention to building houses. They just think the grass grows in the yard and feel barren. They all fried the soil in an iron pot. The soil below is all It is mellow soil. Because there are no grass seeds, the paved yard will be so clean. There are only one or two, which are also floating outside. The structure of the soil is destroyed and it is not suitable for seed growth."

"Teached, taught." Sure enough, he was still learning.

"Then you open the door, let's enter the house and have a look"

Chen Mingliang took the key to open the door, and they looked at it from the backyard.

Open the door, I'll go, what are all these things inside, it's so hot-eyed.

The contents are some furniture and daily necessities that Mr. Song bought after receiving it. The grade is not high and the appearance is average.

"Xiao Chen, you see, the square beams and walls of this house are handled well, but the furniture is not good. Look at what these are all about. Look at the style of the Republic of China, but it is purely popular. Only the house does not have matching furniture. There is no soul. You still need to collect some furniture of Ming and Qing dynasty to fill in, so that you can be worthy of this exquisite courtyard.

"No, Lao Jin, there was originally furniture here, but not here, in the South House, it was destroyed by traitors before liberation."

"Then there is a story in this yard."

"Yes." Chen Mingliang then briefly explained the story of the courtyard he had heard from Teacher Song.

It was really twists and turns, witnessing the unyielding history at that time.

"Then go and see, what the old furniture was like, do you deserve such a vivid story?"

Chen Mingliang took out the key again to open the door of the south house, and the house was full of broken furniture.

Open this row of eight south rooms one by one.

The south house is not good, because the other side of the house is the street. There are no windows on that side. The windows and doors are to the north. The lighting is not good, the inside is dark and dark, and it is not open during the day.

No wonder this kind of house is really not a good place to live in.

The sun is shining today, and the lighting inside will be fine when the door is fully opened.

"Oh, this phoenix-tailed bed, oops, this dressing table, oops, this master chair, Lao Jin sighed while looking at it, oops, they are all good objects, what are they doing? Look at this eight immortal table, so strong, this leg, cut How many knives have been taken, this is still unbroken!"

"Oh, this screen is made of four sets. What are you doing? This engraver, your teacher will be envious when he comes. The furniture in the whole room is expensive. The material should be red sandalwood."

The south house is filled with the original homeowner’s full set of furniture, and even the daily necessities of the previous pots and pans.

"Look at this porcelain bowl, although it is for daily use, it is obviously from the Guangxu period, but unfortunately it is a folk kiln, but it is not bad. It can be sold for money now."

"Look at this kind of porcelain. This is an official kiln. Lao Jin pointed to one of the broken porcelain pieces. This is the foothold of a plum pattern vase. A Qingming vase, if it is intact, is worth a lot of money now."

"If all the things in your houses are intact, it is worth the money of the old nose, but it is better to take care of repairs. This is all history, a living history. Of course, it is also repaired. It's time to spend money from Old Nose."

After coming out of the courtyard, Lao Jin was still a little bit lost.

This is the decline of a dynasty. This yard has witnessed the rise and fall of that dynasty, just like its own family.

"Let your teacher, as well as my friend who has a lot of eagles, come and have a look. He is repairing ancient cultural relics, and they will like it here. Let your teacher mobilize some students from the Academy of Fine Arts to work together. Can save a lot of money."

"Go home, go home."

Chen Mingliang sent Lao Jin home, but he did not speak any more.

At the door of the house, the old man suddenly asked, "You said, is the heaven and earth open now?"

This topic jumped too much, almost flashing Chen Mingliang's waist.

Why, I want to drink tea again, can I have new tea now?

The next day, under the encouragement of Lao Jin, Chen Mingliang invited his master, Master Cao, and the friend who had seen the restoration of the cultural relics to go to Chen Mingliang's courtyard together.

The friend of Lao Jin's surname is Liu, and his job is to restore cultural relics.The nature of work is similar to that of the documentary "I repaired cultural relics in the Forbidden City", but it is not official, it is private, and whoever has good things or something wrong, ask him to repair it, repair the old as it is, and be at ease.

Mr. Cao is really interested in this courtyard. Although it is not the courtyard of the emperor's relatives, it also represents a historical period. In particular, the utensils are basically fully preserved. Although they are damaged, they are not missing.

Lao Liu also said that all can be repaired, but the cost is important.You have to buy some wood that corresponds to this furniture. You don’t have a lot of expensive furniture here, but the grade is okay. Most of them are rosewood mahogany. Where are there so many red sandalwood and huanghuali? It may take time and expense to sort out and screen one by one.

"Old Liu, you don't have to save money for him. Brother Chen doesn't need money."

"Yes, Mr. Liu, if you make bold repairs, I will bear the cost."

Teacher Cao Yong also spoke, "Bright, I can repair some furniture here. I just brought some graduate students. I want them to learn traditional carving art. I can bring a few students here."

"That's great! Master, I can't ask for it, you see how much I will pay for these brothers."

"You don't need to give money, just give them a chance to learn. Ordinarily, they have to pay back the tuition."

"That won't work, Master, there are hard work without credit." Chen Mingliang is not a stingy person who takes advantage.

"Old Cao, you can be optimistic about your students. Don't some people take the sheep and back the pigs. There are still a lot of good things from the previous dynasty. Just the broken porcelain, but there is not one piece. It is also a collection of pieces. Good thing." Lao Jin knew that Chen Mingliang was not good enough to speak, so he took the initiative to help Chen Mingliang to say.

"It's still up to you, I can still think about my apprentice."

"Not afraid of you, but your students."

Chen Mingliang paid the money, Mr. Liu and Teacher Cao, two groups of people, settled in Chen Mingliang’s courtyard just after the new year, and began vigorous restoration of cultural relics.
