Chapter 80 Folding Fan, Sparrow Card (Mahjong)

Li Xiaoyue once worked in a calligraphy and painting shop and knew how to make handmade folding fans.

However, in the past, the fan ribs were ready-made. Now she can only entrust a carpenter to polish the fan ribs with good wood and drill holes in the bottom to fix them.

Originally, Li Xiaoyue thought that the carpenters in the village were not skilled, but after learning about Li Xiaoyue's thoughts, Old Man Li criticized her, "Xiaoyue, don't underestimate Carpenter Sun in our village."

Li Xiaoyue was stunned, "Carpenter Sun, I saw the table you made for my house. It's very ordinary!"

Hearing this, Old Man Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That's because your family could only afford such things at the beginning, and the decorations in your house could only be worthy of a table."

Li Xiaoyue was stunned, looked around, and laughed dumbly, "Dad, you are right. My house and furnishings are indeed not worthy of good furniture."

"Dad, tell me, what is the origin of my uncle Sun? Over the years, he has been alone and has only accepted a few apprentices. He has been silently. Anyway, I am so old, and I have not spoken to him more than five times. .”

When Old Man Li heard this, he sighed and said, "They are also hard-working people. Their family was the carpenters of the palace of the former dynasty. Later, when Dayan was established, they became the carpenters of the palace of Dayan."

"That's right, it's just a matter of changing the master. He still has the skills and can do a good job, right?"

"If it could be so simple, there wouldn't be so many things later." Old Man Li sighed with a distant look, as if he was lost in memories, "Being involved in the palace struggle, a favored concubine had a wooden quilt on the table in her room. Soaked in tire-causing medicine, we finally checked and found the Sun family’s head.”

"The Sun family is very unjust. They don't know what's going on? It's obviously a table from three years ago. At that time, it was still in the previous dynasty. At that time, everyone was good and confused. Your uncle Sun's father was beaten five times. The top ten boards were gone on the spot.”

"The others were exiled in the northwest, and when they came here, your uncle Sun was the only one left. I was in the capital at that time, and Mr. Sun once gave me a shot. As we knew him, I took him over and settled in Lihua Village. ."

Li Xiaoyue was shocked, "Dad, didn't you say that the founding emperor was very wise?"

Old Man Li shook his head and sighed, as if thinking of those years, "No matter how wise a person is, the person who sits in that seat will inevitably have some ill-considered things. Especially after he just became the emperor, there is nothing to waste and nothing to do." There’s so much left to pay attention to.”

"Everyone will please him, and everyone will do the same as long as they can hide it from him. Slowly, they will only listen to what they want to hear and do what they want to do."

Although Li Xiaoyue has not experienced that period of time in person, she can imagine it.

"Dad, it's actually good that we are far away from the capital. At least we can eat beef and drink milk as much as we want here."

Old Man Li smiled heartily, "Yes, here, I can laugh loudly without worrying about anyone's eyes. It's not like when I farted in the capital, and someone would chirp behind me, as if they were studying it. Does fart smell bad or smell good?"

Hearing her father's unique description, Li Xiaoyue shook her head and laughed, "Since Uncle Sun is so good at his craftsmanship, I'll go find him."

"Go!" Old Man Li smiled, suddenly remembering a past incident, "Hey, your uncle Sun bought you a set of fine furniture, but you had to marry Liu Yunde at that time."

"Your Uncle Sun didn't like it, so he refused to give it to you. Even if he bought you the most ordinary table, he still charged you the most expensive money."

"This..." Li Xiaoyue was speechless. She was so blind that she tried her best to marry Liu Yunde!

However, that was all in the past!
No matter what, Li Xiaoyue will never look back.

When Li Xiaoyue handed the drawings to Carpenter Sun, Carpenter Sun, who had drooped eyes, indifferent eyes, and an expressionless face, his eyes lit up after he understood what the drawings were.

"Wonderful!" Carpenter Sun praised. He didn't speak for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse and low.

Li Xiaoyue smiled when she heard Carpenter Sun's compliment, "Uncle Sun, can you make it?" Carpenter Sun nodded happily, "It's not difficult, the difficult thing is to make it nice and delicate. Do you have the fan over there?"

"Yes, after you make the fan bone for me, I will just paste the fan on it."

At this time, Carpenter Sun raised his head and looked directly at Li Xiaoyue, "Bring them all here and I'll get them for you. You're too messy to do it well."

Li Xiaoyue thought about her craftsmanship. It was okay to fool outsiders, but it was really not elegant in front of real craftsmen. "Uncle Sun, do you know how to frame calligraphy and paintings?"

Carpenter Sun nodded, leaving no room for doubt, "My grandfather was once a master of painting and calligraphy mounting."

"That's it!" Li Xiaoyue stopped talking nonsense, "I'll go back and get you a fan first. By the way, Uncle Sun, you don't have good wood here, I'll go to the county to buy some."

Carpenter Sun didn't say much, but opened a door in the house and pointed, "Red sandalwood, white sandalwood, mahogany, agarwood, etc. In fact, I also have golden nanmu here, but ordinary people can't use it, so don't think about it."

Li Xiaoyue was surprised and nodded quickly, "Uncle Sun is great, thank you for your help."

Li Xiaoyue gave her paintings and copied poems to Sun Carpenter.

Carpenter Sun didn't care at first, but when he saw the content clearly, he was slightly startled, "Did you write this "Bamboo and Stone"?"

Li Xiaoyue quickly shook her head, shaking her head like a rattle. She did not have such talent.

"Uncle Sun, it's good that I can read. How can I write poetry? I saw it accidentally and recited it. I think it's good. It fits the situation well if I write it on a fan."

Sun Carpenter thought about it. Although Li Xiaoyue seemed smart now, before, her head was filled with paste and she was very confused. "Well, you really can't write it."

Li Xiaoyue scratched her head but was not angry. What Carpenter Sun said was the truth, "Uncle Sun, have you finished the Bird Card I asked you to make for me last time?"

Carpenter Sun pointed to a box over there, "In that box, it's already ready."

After Li Xiaoyue took it over, she found that it was made of rosewood. The patterns and words engraved on it were very neat, completely beyond her expectation.

"Uncle Sun, your craftsmanship is so good! How much does this pair cost?" Li Xiaoyue asked. She wanted to make two more pairs.

One pair is reserved for my own use, and the other pair is given to Old Man Li.

Carpenter Sun waved his hand, "No need, this thing of yours is interesting. I've already made a batch, and I'm just waiting for it to spread and make a fortune."

Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and she gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Sun, you have such good taste. By the way, if you don't have a shop in the county, you can sell it in my shop."

Carpenter Sun smiled and said, "I think so too. I will pay you rent when the time comes."

"Forget the rent, just give me two more pairs of bird cards." Li Xiaoyue took the opportunity to make a request, "I will give this to Mrs. Gongsun in a few days. I believe it will spread quickly in Lanshan County. Uncle Sun , if you take advantage of the trend and sell it, you will definitely make a profit."

"Your father also gave me this idea." Carpenter Sun smiled, "Come over and get the fans in three days. By the way, I will make the two fans you want for you. Will I be able to sell fans like this in the future? ?”
