Heart with glazed tiles

Chapter 37 Too many surprises

"Senior Brother Yuhai, is that you?" Chu Zhiwei had already approached, confirming his judgment to the man.

"It's... I, Zhiwei!" Pan Yuhai choked up, he hadn't heard Chu Zhiwei call him like that for a long time.

After Pan Yuhai finished speaking, Song Fanzhe and the others also surrounded him.

Everyone still remembers the time when Pan Yuhai eloped with his younger junior sister.But it's been so long that people almost forget the anger at that time.A familiar melody aroused their common and beautiful memories.It was theirs, the youth they could never get back.

Chu Liuli and Pan Rongxuan didn't step forward again. Although they hadn't experienced that kind of life, they felt the same for the feelings between their seniors and brothers.

Chu Liuli walked to Liu Yunshan's side and said sincerely, "Elder brother, do you know that you have made great contributions. The party you proposed to organize has solved my father's many years of knots."

Liu Yunshan was puzzled: "What does Master have in mind? Why don't I know!"

Chu Liuli pulled him aside and told him roughly the grievances between her father and Pan Yuhai.Liu Yunshan suddenly realized, he remembered that one time, he asked Chu Zhiwei how many brothers he had, but Chu Zhiwei didn't answer him, and his face was still displeased.Now it seems that it has something to do with Pan Yuhai.

Chu Zhiwei and his brothers have not seen each other for many years, and there are endless topics to talk about.He introduced several of his apprentices to his brothers and disciples.Looking at the younger generation, they are very relieved to think that there are successors to the skills handed down by the older generation.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Yunshan suggested that all the juniors sitting here talk about their experience and impressions of repairing ancient buildings over the years.Song Fanzhe and Chu Zhiwei all thought this idea was good.

Chu Zhiwei, Wu Yongzhao, Chu Liuli, and Chu Zhiwei's apprentices were all participating in the renovation project of the Forbidden City. Only Chu Jingkai followed the teacher to participate in the renovation of Prince Gong's Mansion.Therefore, everyone's eyes are focused on him, and they want to hear what he has gained in the past two years.

Chu Jingkai was a little embarrassed at first, but with the encouragement of his sister, he opened up the chatterbox.

Chu Jingkai looked around and said humbly: "The teachers all know that my sister Chu Liuli is following Teacher Wu to repair the colored paintings of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so let me talk about colored paintings. Before the repair project starts , several experts took us to conduct actual measurement and research on the historical old colored paintings on the inner eaves of Prince Kung’s Mansion. I was surprised to find that our Chinese colored paintings are such a broad and profound field, but it is a pity that the art of colored paintings has not been applied. Some of them have been paid attention to but are gradually declining. We can see that the existing old paintings on many buildings in the mansion still have obvious traces of overlapping layers. Different owners have more or less left their own histories in architectural decoration and paintings. Imprint. It can also be seen from the color paintings that Prince Kung’s Mansion has richer historical and cultural connotations than ordinary palaces. In the past, my understanding of color paintings was too macroscopic and conceptual.”

Chu Jingkai turned his gaze to Chu Liuli: "Liuli, you have written a paper on the colored paintings of Prince Gong's Mansion, so go ahead and talk about it."

Chu Liuli smiled, and took her brother's words and said, "I studied the colorful paintings of the palace more than two years ago, just like what my brother said, the colorful paintings of Prince Gong's mansion have richer historical and cultural connotations. For example, there are more than 20 kinds of color paintings in Xuanzi, and there are more than [-] kinds of them in Prince Kung’s Mansion. There are differences between the mid-Qing period, the mid-late Qing period, the late Qing period, and the Republic of China period. It is quite different from the burden-style Soviet paintings that are all over the streets today."

While Chu Jingkai and Chu Liuli were talking, Song Fanzhe nodded frequently, leaned into Chu Zhiwei's ear and said, "Junior Brother, you two children are really good. I really got your true biography!"

Hearing his most respected senior brother praise his two children, Chu Zhiwei said with rare humility: "Their siblings have been interested in this since they were young. Fortunately, they didn't disappoint me."

At the small dining table at the door, two waiters were cutting cakes and distributing them to those sitting there.

Guo Yajuan inserted a small piece of cake into her mouth, and the feeling of the entrance surprised her.Soft, fragrant, sweet but not greasy, completely in line with her taste.

Liu Yunshan looked at her and asked with a smile: "How is it, Mrs. Liuli? Is the cake made by Liuli delicious?"

"Is this cake made of Liuli?" Guo Yajuan couldn't believe that her daughter, who is not very good at cooking, can make cakes!
"That's right, Liuli made it. She said that it would be meaningful to make the cake for Master herself!" Liu Yunshan was very sure.

For a moment, Guo Yajuan was so moved that she almost shed tears. Her daughter has grown up and she has given them too many surprises.

The time to get together always passes quickly, and the party lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening.Just when everyone was about to leave, Liu Yunshan asked everyone to stop, and gave a big gift to his master Chu Zhiwei in front of everyone.His ancient architectural engineering company set up a branch in the capital, and he specially set up the "Chu Zhiwei official-style ancient architectural construction skills study studio" to meet the teacher's idea of ​​accepting apprentices and inheriting skills.

"Brother, this gift of yours is too generous!" Chu Jingkai didn't know how to praise Liu Yunshan for a while.

"Yes, senior brother, you see that my father is so happy that he can't speak." Chu Liuli looked at his father with a smile.

For Chu Zhiwei, there were too many happiness and surprises on this day.After more than 20 years, reuniting with his brothers and apprentices, and listening to Pan Yuhai's "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", he couldn't calm down.

He thought that the day had come to a perfect end, but he didn't want his apprentice to tell him another big news, that a studio named after him was established!

Under the attention of everyone, Chu Zhiwei, who was gradually recovering from his senses, walked towards the big apprentice Liu Yunshan, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and said in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, "Thank you." !"

He didn't dare to raise his head, for fear that his brothers and apprentices would see his tear-filled eyes.

This day, for all of them, will never be forgotten.

The next day, Zhang Yifeng was going back to Shanghai, and Chu Liuli went to the airport to see him off.Since being promoted to project manager, Zhang Yifeng is rarely in the capital.They have been living a life of getting together less and leaving more.

Although Chu Liuli supported him, she was still a little aggrieved.Zhang Yifeng seemed to be able to read minds, and lightly hugged her shoulders to comfort her: "Liuli, I promise, I will accompany you well after this project is over. No matter how big the project is, I don't care, unless it is Local in the capital!"

Hearing what he said, Chu Liuli felt embarrassed instead, and said softly: "You work hard outside, don't worry about me, I won't hold you back. Besides, the nature of your job is like this, you need to travel frequently. You It's for work, not for fun! Don't worry, I won't care!"

When Chu Liuli said "go out to play", Zhang Yifeng's expression was a little unnatural, but he quickly returned to normal.

The plane was about to take off, he said goodbye to Chu Liuli, turned around and walked towards the security checkpoint.

Chu Liuli's gaze followed him until he disappeared from her sight.
