Shen Dinghai saw the name written on Yu Feiyan's resume, looked at his hometown and graduation school, and looked at Yu Feiyan with some surprise, sighing that the world is so small.

Yu Feiyan on the other side was also surprised to see Shen Dinghai, as a person who studies architecture and likes ancient architecture, he naturally knows the leading garden master in China, but he didn't expect to meet him in a foreign country.

"Do you know me?" asked Yu Feiyan cautiously.

"Of course!" Shen Dinghai put Yu Feiyan's resume on the desk and looked at Yu Feiyan with a smile.

"The top students of Yuqing Institute of Engineering, defeated tens of thousands of architectural teachers and students around the world in the design of Staten public toilets, and won the second prize.

I've seen your work, I'm also one of the judges, and I'm recommending you and your teacher's work, so you say I don't know about you?"

Yu Feiyan won the second prize not easily.

The authority of modern architecture is in the hands of European and American countries, and they have always looked down on the architecture of the rabbit country, so Yu Feiyan and Zhang Shiwei's strong rabbit country style is naturally not favored by these people, even if the design is good, they will not admit your excellence, so Yu Feiyan and Zhang Shiwei's works were brushed down without accident.

After Shen Dinghai knew about this, he definitely didn't agree, this was purely bullying, so he took the works of Yu Feiyan and Zhang Shiwei to find John to comment on himself.

After John looked at the works of the two and compared the works of others, he personally pointed out the results of Zhang Shiwei first place and Yu Feiyan's second place.

So it was not easy for Yu Feiyan to win the second prize!

Shen Dinghai can be regarded as changing Yu Feiyan's fate.

If she hadn't won the award, Yu Feiyan would not have come to MIT, and perhaps she is now working as an intern at a small firm after graduation.

"Thank you!"

Yu Feiyan heard Shen Dinghai's words and hurriedly bowed. She didn't know how difficult it was for her to win the award, but she simply thanked Shen Dinghai for his recognition of her work.

"No, I don't. ”

Shen Dinghai waved his hand, he didn't want to tell Yu Feiyan about the Qu Committee in the selection, forget about this kind of thing, why do you say it, do you want to ask for a return? Shen Dinghai helped Yu Feiyan and Zhang Shiwei never thought about reciprocating, he just did what a rabbit country should do.

"I'm going to punish you well, though. Shen Dinghai suddenly pretended to be serious and looked at Yu Feiyan. "Do you know how difficult it was for the Taihu Stone that you stole to come by?

137 Taihu Lake stones, each one is selected by my master, for this more than 100 Taihu stones, my master's 90-year-old old every day up and down the mountain back and forth, it took a whole year, from thousands of Taihu stones to pick out these 137 Taihu stones, now stolen by you, he has to choose from the new one. ”

Every pavilion, rockery, garden, and what stones are placed are all exquisite, and they must be matched to play the role of the finishing touch, just like what style matches what furniture.

Chen Zhou spent a whole year soaking in the pile of stones for the sake of these 137 stones, and in his words, he remembered the shape and texture of every stone he saw this year. It can be seen how much effort he put into choosing these Taihu Lake stones.

"I'm sorry Shen Lao!"

After hearing Shen Dinghai's words and knowing that these stones were selected by Chen Zhou for a year, a sense of guilt rose in her heart.

"No!" Shen Dinghai waved his hand. "My master didn't blame you, his old man said that in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. The Taihu Stone King used it, the nobles used it, the common people used it, and the students also used it. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has also made a lot of contributions to mankind, and these Taihu stones are not considered pearls and dust in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, just look for a batch.

However, although my master and his old man are generous to others, although they don't pursue it, as a disciple, I can't bear to see him work so hard, so I want to punish you well. ”

"I am willing to accept any punishment you want. Yu Feiyan felt that it was better to be punished, otherwise she would not be happy.

"That's it! These Taihu stones are all selected by my master, a total of 137, I will punish you to copy the drawings designed by my master for Meiling Manor 137 times, no less, copy badly, re-copy, there is no time limit. ”

Shen Dinghai's punishment was very heavy, although he did not beat or scold, but Meiling Manor was a building complex, involving houses, pavilions, rockeries, and gardens...... There are many, a whole stack of design artwork, and I want to copy it more than 100 times, hehe...... Don't even think about it for five or six years.

"Okay Shen Lao, I must be not bad. Yu Feiyan knew that this punishment was very heavy, but since the gentleman promised to accept the punishment, even if the punishment was very heavy, he would grit his teeth and complete it.

But many years later, when Yu Feiyan looks back on today, she is still grateful to Shen Dinghai in her heart, if it were not for Shen Dinghai's "punishment" today, she would not have become a world-class architectural master.

Meiling Manor is the integration of what Chen Zhou has learned in his life, and every step and scene contains his comprehension and wisdom of architecture, life, nature, heaven and earth, so the drawings of Meiling Manor are treasures and peerless secrets for those who study architecture.

Shen Dinghai asked Yu Feiyan to copy Chen Zhou's design drawings in order to lay a solid foundation for Yu Feiyan's architecture in this way, and at the same time comprehend the wisdom of the ancients and the thoughts of the masters.

Maybe Yu Feiyan won't be able to comprehend it for a while, it doesn't matter, the ancients said: Read a book a hundred times and see its meaning.

I don't understand it once I copy it, and I ...... it twice. Three times...... After four times, the copyist will involuntarily think about why such a pavilion is built here, and why a rockery is built there...... As the number of copies increases, the more problems there will be, and after the copying reaches a certain level, you will slowly understand why you want to build a pavilion here, why you want to build a rockery there, and you will also understand the master's thoughts at that time.

And the person who copied also absorbed the accumulation of the master's life in the process of copying over and over again.

So Shen Dinghai is not punishing Yu Feiyan, but cultivating Yu Feiyan.

And Shen Dinghai's purpose of cultivating Yu Feiyan is very simple, the rabbit country is not as good as Europe and the United States in the field of modern architecture, if you can meet a good seedling and cultivate it carefully, maybe you can cultivate a world-class architect for the rabbit country, so that the world's top architecture circle also has the figure of the rabbit country.

After being willing to accept the punishment, Yu Feiyan left Meiling Manor with a bunch of copies of drawings, but the job was still found, Shen Dinghai handed over some less important construction to her, and asked her to come to Meiling Manor every day after school to supervise the project, a month's salary is not much, 2000 US dollars, but enough for her living expenses.
