"What's wrong?

Looking at Hong Yanwu's appearance, Wang Hanping almost jumped up in a hurry.

"What a good thing, boy, don't you really like these things? How foolish! I can tell you, it is a great creation to build this attic of your house, and to be able to use such golden silk nanmu. That's the remnants of Ming Yongle, so many emperors in the Qing Dynasty don't have this blessing......"

"What do you think? Are you afraid that the wood is really bad? I tell you, the wood of Nanmu is the most stable, no cracking, no deformation, extremely resistant to rot, don't look at the wind and rain soaked for so many years, but that's 'rotten skin'. The rotten one is a layer of skin on the outside, and the inside is good, and it is not easy to say that it is 'bad wood'. The scraps are all expensive......"

"What's the matter? Why don't I sign for you? I haven't seen it in my life, and I'm sure the wood is fine! You won't trust me, an old carpenter......."

Wang Hanping is a straight person, grabbing white sentence after sentence, and he didn't give Hong Yanwu any time to speak, and the more he spoke, the more anxious he became.

It was still Mr. Shan who was steady and saw something. I asked Hong Yanwu if he had any concerns.

Sure enough, Hong Yanwu's answer was really like this.

"Master Wang. Don't get excited, just rush at you as my eldest brother's master, I can't disbelieve you. It's not that I don't know how to do it, I know that this golden silk wood is the best wood in cork. Not only is it resistant to rot, but it is also fragrant on a cloudy day. But Mr. Shan's question is right, this is too big! I'm really a little worried......

"First, when I was a child, I heard my parents say that there are 'five towns' in the capital. I also heard our neighbor Uncle Bian say that the "Shenmu" of the "Shenmu Factory" is the incarnation of the golden dragon that is transported from the bottom of the river to the "Qingfeng Gate" by the shrimp soldiers and crabs. Even though it's all a legend, it's enough to show that this thing is extraordinary. In the folk, it has been passed down orally for hundreds of years, and it is not a divine object but also a divine object! To put it bluntly, no matter how good this thing is, it is the stuff of the entire people of Beijing. The common people of this capital must know who dares to swallow it by themselves, and they must not scold their ancestors behind their backs? In the future, whoever wants to chat at the wine table will arrange what happened to the Hong family in Nancheng, and my parents will have to turn against me! I can't scold my own family......

"Second, since this 'divine wood' is such a thing, it is no better than a few pieces of hardwood furniture and the peach tree of the Queen Mother of the West, it is a cultural relic among cultural relics, a treasure among treasures. I'll put my words here, don't look at the fact that no one takes this thing seriously now, and doesn't respect the history and culture of our nation. After that, just like people, there will always be a day when these objects will be 'set right'. At that time, even these pieces of furniture, this pair of peach trees, were priceless, and they were eye-catching. Not to mention this 'sacred tree' that symbolizes the tranquility of the eastern part of the capital. What should the state do if it wants to come to me for this? I don't want to pay for my own sin. How unjust am I to be held accountable for this......"

"Third, let's talk about the use of golden silk nanmu to make the palace itself, which is a royal style. In the whole world, there is a hall in Chengde Summer Resort that is purely Nanmu. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't have this score. So from the perspective of feng shui, we can't afford to get something like this into our house!

"Anyway, don't look at my young age, but I know a truth. It's too much! People, you can't take advantage of everything! You should have as much appetite as you want to eat, and I'm afraid that if I can't eat it, I'll spoil myself!"

Not to mention, Hong Yanwu does have his own reasons. From his point of view, this kind of worry is really necessary, and it is really impossible to find fault with him, and it must not be said that what he worries about will not happen.

Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping were both impressed. These two or three made them feel that Hong Yanwu had thought things through very well, and he could really be called long-term and unique. And to be able not to be confused by profits, this kind of knowledge of advance and retreat, understanding the depths and shallows, is not something that ordinary young people can do.

The problem is that it is imminent, and they have no other way to think of it. How is this good?

Mr. Shan frowned and thought hard.

Wang Hanping was so anxious that he clenched his fists and jumped vigorously.

"Don't mind...... Don't you really want to? Then we have to watch the 'Shenmu' finish playing? Isn't this also a sin! Hey, I said, if you think about it again, you buy it, and we will keep it a secret for you?"

Hong Yanwu saw that they were really embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Master Wang, Mr. Shan, don't worry. Well, I'm out of ...... money."

"Huh?" Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping couldn't help but widen their eyes together.

This is another one that I didn't expect at all! Why did you just say no, and this is going to be again?

Hong Yanwu hurriedly explained. "Two, I don't want wood because I want this money, but because I respect the two of you. You see, what are you so anxious about? To put it mildly, you are saving the country's property. At worst, you are saving the historical treasures of the nation. To put it mildly, you want to save the hearts and minds of the people in the capital. It's not your responsibility to do this, and it's not good for you personally, and you can do it voluntarily. This is called impatience for justice and righteousness! I admire, I am moved, and I cannot help but respect it! In addition, there is a difference. Mr. Shan helped me repair my ancestral house, and I worked so hard every day, I didn't want a child. Master Wang helped our family do the fine work, and I didn't take a penny in front of my eldest brother. One of you is a great expert in the museum, and the other is a seventh-level craftsman. This makes me feel even more sorry. That's right, let's cover it up. If you want to save this piece of wood, I am willing to pay to help you!"

Well, as soon as these words were said, the two old gentlemen really turned their worries into joy.

Mr. Shan praised, "You are really not stingy." Precious ......"

Wang Hanping also praised. "Good boy, he is the master of our capital, and fighting for righteousness and squandering wealth is a ...... in his bones"

didn't expect Hong Yanwu to have a later story. "Two. It's all going to happen, but I have two more conditions, and you have to promise me. One is that I only contribute money and don't contribute to this matter, and everything has to be done by the two of you. The second is that you have to keep this matter secret for me, the tree is big, and the fat pig is looking for slaughter. I'm afraid ......"

This amused Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping, and they really couldn't help laughing.

One said, "Are you really afraid to be famous for doing good deeds? It's like doing bad things ...... being so sneaky."

The other said, "Hmph, you're a weird kid! You're quite righteous! Say you're responsible. But you're so cowardly! Why don't you look like your eldest brother at all? It's all evil......"

It's all evil! Hong Yanwu himself admits this!

Because although he tried his best not to get involved, he never expected that in the end, he really couldn't do it if he didn't want to.

It turned out that Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping rushed to the musical instrument factory with the money to negotiate the conditions. Three-quarters of the "sacred tree" has already been opened.

The leader of the musical instrument factory didn't know if he was angry, but he was still a resolute character, and he actually gave instructions immediately after he went back. Let the workers under him transport the wood into the workshop one by one to open the material.

Although the workers have a nonchalant and wasteful attitude of operation. The plates that can be opened are still enough to make forty writing desks.

So when Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping saw those materials again, they really wanted to cry without tears!

With these boards, anyone who has never seen it can imagine how big that 'sacred tree' was at the beginning!

But fortunately, a quarter of the logs were left untouched, and it was not time to paint the piano!

So Wang Hanping and Mr. Shan still took the money to buy all the golden silk nanmu. I didn't even leave any scraps, and I pulled them all away in a desperate attempt to find someone and a car.

After that, they came to Hong Yanwu again.

I took him to see the material that was in the open air, and then told him what was going on. Then they persuaded him together. None of them had the ability to find a place with better conditions and keep these things intact.

What they mean is that the matter has come to this point, and the only feasible way now to leave something for the people of the capital is to use these woods in the attic in the courtyard of the Hongjiahua Hall.

Otherwise, sooner or later, these things will all be finished, and then they will be nothing.

Of course, they knew what Hong Yanwu was worried about, so the two of them also specially gave him a copy of the supporting materials.

It writes down why you buy these materials, how you buy these materials, who negotiates, who pays, where to find the car, and who to hand over. Both of them also signed and drew the pledge.

That means that the responsibility is theirs, and Hong Yanwu is unaware and has nothing to do with him.

Mr. Shan also advised, "We are all so familiar with each other, what kind of people each other are, we should have a little spectrum in our hearts." We believe in you, and now it's up to you to trust us. We will not harm you. As for what feng shui issues you are still worried about, there is no need at all. Although I haven't studied it deeply, I can tell you that when this piece of wood comes into your house, it will only be good and not harmful. Because in the past, whether it was a monument or engraved on the wall, the high-ranking families paid attention to making a 'Taishan stone dare to be' in front of the door. What's that? That's the town. In order to suppress the evil ghosts and keep the house safe. You are a 'Shenmu', the entire east of the capital can be protected, and if your family house has it, it will really be stable......"

Wang Hanping also patted his chest, "You can rest assured." Both of us old men are tight-mouthed. We're in the stomach and won't talk about it. I promise I won't tell even my apprentice. If you don't believe it, I'll swear a poisonous oath to your face! I don't know if you believe it or not, but I do. Seriously, I think I'm going to have to find you in the end. In fact, God wants you to save this piece of wood, you have to agree, you will definitely accumulate merit......"

In this way, it is really difficult to refuse, and Hong Yanwu can only nod his head in response.

This is that he was really moved by the thoughts of these two people, and secondly, there have been too many unbelievable things that have happened to him, but he should be grateful to God. For example, rebirth, such as "Frustrating the Tiger Dragon".

He inevitably had a fear of the will of heaven, and felt that many things had their own destiny. Therefore, I kind of believe that maybe this wood should be his hand.

As for Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping, seeing that the goal was achieved, they were finally down-to-earth, and the two of them smiled.

Mr. Shan said excitedly. "I'll go back to 'hot sample' immediately, with such golden silk nanmu, I have to make a good style for your attic, so as not to treat these good materials badly." ”

(Note: hot sample, ancient construction dialect, meaning to make a three-dimensional model)

Wang Hanping even rolled up his arms and sleeves. "Boy. Just look at it. This time, I'll show you what I'm capable of. I won't talk about the fine work, I think the materials that come out of this are rich enough, and I'll make you a golden silk nanmu shelf bed when I go back. Well, even if my old man thanked you......"

What else can Hong Yanwu say? Naturally, he will not be disappointed anymore, and he can only thank him repeatedly.

If you want to say that things are really evil, despite the legend of "Shenmu", no one in the capital in this year takes it seriously. Even Hong Yanwu himself didn't really believe that that thing had any divine power.

But the day after Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping took all the golden silk nanmu away, the wood room of the musical instrument factory caught fire.

Although it was discovered in time and extinguished, only a few cubic meters of wood were burned. Later, it was also found that the fire was caused by workers in the workshop throwing cigarette butts at will. But this incident really made many old workers in the musical instrument factory start to worry.

Because of this habit of littering cigarette butts, everyone has always had it. Moreover, in terms of fire protection measures in the musical instrument factory, the security department has always been very lax.

However, in the more than 30 years since the establishment of the factory, the musical instrument factory has never had a single fire or work injury. The factory has always had a kind of good fortune that borders on miracles.

But how is it that as soon as the wood is gone, the factory is on fire? Could it be that good luck just disappeared out of thin air?

Then the old workers who have some insight naturally think carefully about the causes and consequences, and they think of those old-fashioned legends, and they can't help but associate the cause of the fire with the loss of the blessing of the "sacred tree".

Sure enough, twenty years later, the musical instrument factory has become indistinguishable from other factories, and must also rely on strict rules and regulations to avoid work-related injuries and fire accidents.

At this time, an old worker who had never had an accident at work confessed to other workers. said that in the years when there were frequent accidents after the "Shenmu" was transported away, the reason why he was able to do nothing wrong. It was because when he was cutting materials for "Shenmu", he hid a piece of scraps. He carries it to work every day. That's what works wonders.

Anyway, no matter whether others believe it or not, the factory leaders in this period believe it.

So the old workers kept a piece of scraps for making a writing desk, and it was put into the exhibition room as a treasure by the musical instrument factory.

Such a rotation of fate can really be called an indescribable revelation.

How can people toss and turn, always self-denying, and always taking regret medicine?

I am afraid that most of the regrets in the world stem from this.
