Xu Wen returned to Xu's house.

A dark and stagnant atmosphere haunts me, and everything here seems to be covered with a dull hue, forever stagnant in some old time.

This kind of atmosphere, I don't know when Xu Wen is already very familiar.

They were now beside the overgrown pond, and the ball jumped out of his arms, paws fiddling with a small turtle by the pond.

The little turtle slowly shrunk its head and limbs into its shell, and the ball was still playing with pleasure.

Lian Tianqing's question still filled his mind, constantly echoing.

Restoration and production, which path are you going to choose?

If you choose to repair, you have to give up your whimsical ideas and strictly follow the original author's ideas.

Choosing to make, the most important thing is to change from "others" to "self", he wants to use his own aesthetics and preferences to drive others, build new handicrafts.

Xu Wen is still trapped in Xu's house, and Jing Cheng's request to him is to repair this place, and it stands to reason that he has no right to choose.

But Xu Wen still fell into deep thought.

Why does the restoration have to be done as it is, and even if the deficiencies in the original work are found, they must be strictly followed?

From the very beginning of reading the Treaty of Venice, Xu Wen realized that this was a universal guideline, and that this should be done "must".

When even Tianqing taught him like this, when he used his mobile phone to read the Treaty of Venice, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and he felt that it should be implemented as a matter of course.

But now, he suddenly had some doubts.

Suddenly I want to ask: Why?

Xu Wen slowly straightened up and looked at the Four Seasons Hall not far away.

The Four Seasons Hall didn't seem to change at any time, Xu Wen stepped on the weeds and walked over, his hand on the dilapidated window lattice.

It's a leaky window.

Leaky window, commonly known as flower wall head, leaky window, flower window, is a very typical and common transparent window in garden architecture.

——The model of the garden made by Liu Huzi, the flower window on the pavilion is also in the form of a leaky window.

The initial window leak was purely decorative and not closed, so it did not provide protection from the wind and rain. However, with the improvement of design and production ability, craftsmen began to paste translucent silk yarn on it, and even directly used transparent glass, which began to give it practical effects.

The most important feature of the window is the decoration of the leaky pattern, through which you can see the scenery outside the window.

At the beginning, Xu Wen was amazed by the leaf of the plantain in the Four Seasons Hall, and it was a leaky window that passed through.

The Four Seasons Hall was supposed to be the study of the Xu Mansion back then, and the leaky windows certainly couldn't just be used for decorative purposes. There used to be glass in the window, but now the glass has long been broken, and Xu Wen has not even a piece of glass left in his hand, only a little glass slag remains on the window lattice, which proves that this place was once blocked.

Not only the glass, but also the sash itself is broken.

After studying in the Banmen World for an extra year, Xu Wen's vision is very different from before.

The material of the window sash is elm, which is the most common material for doors and windows in the Jiangnan area, which is not too special.

But elm wood is not the same as elm, Xu Wen found that this window is made of old wood, at least fifty years old wood core wood, the texture is more fine, after so many years, there are almost no cracks, in this dilapidated four seasons hall is already a fairly intact part.

The window frame of this leaky window is rectangular and carved with figures, and a large area leaks in the middle. The ordinary carved window leak part is in a regular shape to highlight the scene behind the window, but this window is slightly different.

In the lower right corner, a figure scene is carved with an old man and a young man playing chess. Xu Wen glanced back, and the scenery directly opposite this leaky window was a coniferous pine. The combination of the two hatchbacks is a picture of Panasonic games.

Four o'clock hall, bamboo, pine, plum and banana, corresponding to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Every window, every scene, every season, changes a kaleidoscopic landscape.

Very ingenious.

It is said that the first appearance of the leaky window was in the Qin Dynasty, and the pattern of the flower window at that time was the simplest oblique network pattern. After the inheritance and development from generation to generation, this form is made on the garden wall, some are made on the house wall, the graphic pattern is ever-changing, octagonal, hexagonal, square, round, oval, flowers, animals, auspicious clouds, landscape...... Versatile and very flexible.

What kind of thinking did the top craftsman who made this leaky window have in his arms, and what have he seen and learned in his life?

Xu Wen's fingers brushed over the wood, and countless thoughts suddenly disappeared.

Finally, he patted the window frame and walked into the hall.

The shadow in the Four Seasons Hall was still the same, and the artifacts piled up inside cast a thick shadow, and it was impossible to see how precious these things were.

Xu Wen temporarily put away his extra thoughts and walked to the red sandalwood Baizi stepping bed.

Since you can't figure it out, then you don't want to, let's do something first.

He cleared everything in front of the bed, brought all kinds of tools and materials, and prepared to get to work.

Xu's house was in tatters everywhere, and every time he came back, he could only set up a shop in the small nest in the studio for one night, but now he planned to repair a bed for himself to sleep well.

In the whole apprenticeship test process, the precious wood of red sandalwood has never been involved, and even hardwood is relatively rare - the beech wood stepping bed during the county test is already the hardest one.

In fact, most apprentices rarely touch hardwoods throughout their studies, and rosewood never touches them. Of course, the heirs of the first and second level workshops had to be excluded from the college examination.

But Xu Wen is no stranger to this.

The old wood field has everything, and even the Azure disciples have taught it very comprehensively, and there is a kind of "red sandalwood skill" directly in the eighteen coincidences.

Xu Wen has now practiced Eighteen Qiao, and this bed is not too difficult for him.

The first step is to describe and count the current state of the bed, and draw all the drawings for the whole and the part.

The memories and physical examinations of the other world have been brought here in their entirety, and Xu Wen can still see and draw shapes, and the dimensions are as precise as a ruler.

He had always been very attentive as soon as he got into the working state, and it didn't take long for him to be completely immersed in the design of the bed itself, completely forgetting those chaotic thoughts.

After drawing up the plan, the next step is to disassemble the bed.

The light here is too dark to be repaired, and the dismantled bed can be moved to a temporary workshop outside.

The disassembled parts should be marked and placed in an orderly manner, and the missing or damaged parts should be marked out additionally, and the missing piece of the puzzle should be deduced from other existing graphic patterns, and drawn one to one.

The biggest difficulty in repairing this bed is actually this link.

Baizi is one of the more classic traditional Chinese patterns, as the name suggests, it is a pattern of 100 children playing or living. In the exquisite 100 children, these 100 children require each of them to have different demeanors and movements, but they must come from the same style.

According to statistics, eighty-two of the bed's hundred sons are complete, twelve are incomplete, and six are completely missing.

What is damaged should be repaired, and what is missing should be repainted, Xu Wen has been tested and knows what the key is in between.

Relatively speaking, this work is a little simpler than the last time Sun Boran replaced the bird, after all, the eighty-two children in front of them fully express the style and habits of the craftsmen, and the latter ones can just paint cats and tigers.

One after another, traditional children appear on the paper, laughing with balls, or sitting on the ground crying, each one comes to life, each as if it were the twin brothers of the original picture.

This craftsman is so fun and smart!

Xu Wen was completely immersed in it, and suddenly smiled at a child's smiling eyes.
