In the evening, the army called Meng Zitao, saying that he would stay in the capital for a few days before going back, so the next morning, Meng Zitao drove He Wanyi to Jinling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The car stopped in front of the villa that Meng Zitao bought in Jinling, and after He Wanyi got out of the car, her face showed surprise, and her eyes opened widely: "This is the villa you bought before?"

He Wanyi had heard about the size of the villa from Meng Zitao's mouth a long time ago, but she didn't expect that after being renovated, it would be so beautiful, and it looked like a garden outside.

Meng Zitao smiled, didn't say much, and directly took He Wanyi's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go first and have a look." ”

Sioux City Garden is a representative of southern architecture in our country, the garden is verdant, changing the scenery, beautiful, He Wanyi has always dreamed of one day to be able to live in such a place, if she can realize this dream, she feels that she will wake up with a smile when she dreams.

To say, Meng Zitao's villa in Lingshi has almost been able to realize her dream, but due to the small area and the limited level of decoration workers, she always feels a little worse taste, which makes her feel a little regretful in her heart, of course, this is harmless for her, after all, it is a blessing to be able to live in such an environment with her beloved.

He Wanyi didn't expect that her dream would come true, only to see that the renovated villa has become a typical Soviet-style garden villa, with a traditional gray-black roof, white powder walls, chestnut-colored beams and columns and decoration, gray-white pedestals, etc., making the whole building appear pure and harmonious, elegant and beautiful, respectively, a Jiangnan courtyard with pink walls and tiles.

Coupled with the well-designed artificial lake and the lakeside garden composed of buildings, pavilions, pavilions and corridors, it fully interprets the connotation of exquisite architecture, exquisite culture and exquisite life, which can be described as a real gilded place of "Wu Tou Yue Wei".

Looking at these beautiful and picturesque scenes, He Wanyi fell into a dream, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.

Meng Zitao smiled: "How is it, do you like it?"

He Wanyi nodded excitedly: "I like it so much, but how did you do it?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's all up to Aze to help, as well as those skilled craftsmen from the Xiangshan Gang." ”

The style of the renovated villa is different from that of the entire villa area, if there is no certain relationship, it is impossible for the property to be so renovated, fortunately, there is Shu Ze to help, otherwise it is not so easy to achieve what you want by relying on Meng Zitao alone.

He Wanyi asked with some curiosity: "What do you mean by the Xiangshan Gang?"

Mencius explained: "They are a collection of skilled craftsmen......

The so-called Xiangshan Gang craftsmen are actually a building group that integrates woodwork, water work, brick carving, wood carving, stone carving and other types of work.

In ancient times, in the beginning, wood carving was practiced by carpenters, and brick carving was carried out by plasterers. After the Qing Dynasty and Jia, the architectural carving style tended to be delicate and cumbersome, and the business demand increased, which promoted the professional development of wood carving and brick carving.

They skillfully combined the traditional architectural techniques of the Han nationality with the art of architecture, and created an important school in the history of Chinese architecture. Later, the house built in the model of the Xiangshan Gang was called Supai Architecture. The construction technique is known as the traditional building construction technique of the Xiangshan Gang. It is said that "the carpenters and craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River are all from Xiangshan".

For more than 600 years since the Ming Dynasty, the works of the craftsmen of the Xiangshan Gang have ranged from folk mansions, urban gardens, Taoist Buddhist temples to the emperor's palaces. It has also developed from domestic to foreign countries, and has built antique engineering projects abroad, such as Yi Yuan in Vancouver, Canada, Ming Xuan in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States, and Chaotian Palace in Melbourne, Australia.

Since ancient times, Xiangshan Gang craftsmen have not only been engaged in the clouds, according to legend, more than 5,000 people, but also skilled craftsmen emerge in an endless stream, occupying an important position in the history of Chinese architecture. It's just that in recent years (to 09 years), due to the low income of craftsmen, hard work, and the penetration of Western architectural culture, the Xiangshan Gang is also facing the embarrassing situation of lack of successors and loss of skills.

After listening to Meng Zitao's introduction, He Wanyi said: "Then it shouldn't be easy to ask them to help." ”

Meng Zitao said: "This is not necessarily, the main reason is that the master is more difficult to find, of course, we are here to ask the master to do it, but I didn't put much effort into it, it was all the people Aze helped to invite." ”

He Wanyi laughed: "You are at ease to be a shopkeeper." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "As the old saying goes, those who can work harder, and besides, we are also being guinea pigs, Aze told me two days ago that if it wasn't for too much trouble, he really wanted to redecorate his villa." ”

He Wanyi looked at the surrounding scenery and was very happy in her heart: "Anyway, we have to thank him." ”

Meng Zitao waved his hand: "They are all friends, there is no need to mobilize the people, I will find an antique he likes and give it to him when I go back." ”

Meng Zitao believes that a true friend is the kind of person who will do his best to help each other, will not feel that "he owes me a personal favor" and the like, and does not have to painstakingly maintain the relationship with each other, even if they have not seen each other for a long time, they will not feel strange.

Although he and Shu Ze have known each other for less than a year, he thinks that the friendship between him and Shu Ze has been able to reach this level, and in fact, it is exactly like this, the two are not brothers, but like brothers.

After visiting every angle of the villa, He Wanyi happily planned the functions of each area of the villa, but in the end, she frowned.

Meng Zitao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

He Wanyi said with some embarrassment: "I already like it completely, but I don't want to give up my life in Lingshi, what can I do?"

Meng Zitao laughed: "I thought it was something, in fact, now you are in the freshness period, and when you get used to it, it will be like that." Isn't it nice that we can live on both sides for a while, and now that the traffic is so developed, it's less than two hours to get here, and we can come here at any time, and we can keep it fresh?"

He Wanyi thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, just like the people who have been living on the side of the mountains yearn for life in the city, and the people in the city yearn for life in the mountains.

The young couple was planning their life after getting married in the near future, Shu Ze called and asked if they had arrived, and they heard that they were already in the villa, so they asked the two of them to go to him.

So, Meng Zitao and He Wanyi came to Shu Ze not far away, followed the maid into the living room, and saw Shu Ze and Sima Yuelan together, talking with a pair of middle-aged men in their forties and fifties.

Judging from the way the middle-aged man is dressed, he should be either rich or expensive, but the atmosphere seems to be a little tense, and the relationship is obviously not very good.

This made Meng Zitao a little puzzled, why did this pair of middle-aged men who did not deal with each other appear here, could it be that he asked Shu Ze to coordinate for them?

Seeing Meng Zitao and He Wanyi coming in, Shu Ze immediately got up and smiled and introduced it to everyone.

This pair of middle-aged men, one is named Feng Jiming, and the other is Zhong Yanuo, both of whom are the bosses of Ling City with a certain amount of wealth, Shu Ze has known them for two or three years, and their relationship is almost the same.

After greeting each other, Shu Ze said, "Boss Feng, Boss Zhong, do you think we should have dinner first?"

Zhong Yanuo said politely: "Shu Shao, no need, I have to catch the plane to Xiangjiang in a while, and when I come back from Xiangjiang, how about we sit together again?"

"Let's talk about it then"

Shu Ze smiled slightly, and then said, "Since Boss Zhong is going to catch a plane, then you two can take out your things." ”

Feng Jiming and Zhong Yanuo glanced at each other when they heard this, then they each took out a jade pendant from their pockets and put it on the coffee table in front of them.

"Shu Shao, I'm going to trouble you. Feng Jiming and Zhong Yanuo said continuously.

"It's not me who is in trouble, it's my brother. Shu Ze put the two jade artifacts in front of Meng Zitao, and then said: "He is my uncle's closed disciple, you can rest assured, he will not be mistaken." ”

Seeing Meng Zitao's face that was younger than Shu Ze, even if he had the name of Zheng Anzhi's closed disciple, Feng Jiming and Zhong Yanuo said that it didn't matter, but they were still a little uneasy in their hearts.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I said Aze, you always have to tell me what's going on, right?"

Shu Ze smiled: "Actually, it's very simple, you just need to identify the authenticity of these two jade pendants and estimate their value." ”

Meng Zitao nodded, and then said to Feng Jiming and Zhong Yanuo: "You two think I'm young and don't believe in my appraisal results, right?"

No matter how stupid Feng Jiming and Zhong Yanuo were, they would not show the distrust in their hearts in front of Shu Ze, and they all said that there was nothing to do.

Meng Zitao smiled slightly and didn't say much, and directly took out his ID and put it on the coffee table: "You can take a look at my ID, or you can check the authenticity." ”

In fact, if it wasn't for Shu Ze's errands, he wouldn't have bothered to take out his documents, and they wouldn't believe it.

Feng Jiming and Zhong Yanuo hurriedly waved their hands to express their trust to Meng Zitao, of course, they were very surprised when they saw the name of the certificate.

Meng Zitao didn't care whether they believed it or not, picked up Feng Jiming's jade pendant and looked at it.

This jade pendant is in the shape of a card, made of white jade, the jade quality is delicate and smooth, well-polished, shiny and bright, the jade plate is rectangular, the upper part is embossed with a cloud pattern, the main body is the traditional theme of "bangs playing golden toad", the fairy bangs leaned over to visit the three-legged toad incarnated by the dragon girl, this picture has the auspicious meaning of the blessed god to bring wealth. On the other side of the jade plaque, the four characters of "Bangs Play Toad" are written in the seal book of the head bird, and the carving is regular.

From the point of view of carving, this should be made by the palace office in the Qianlong period, which is a rare tool for playing.

Another jade plaque should be a familiar pit vessel, has been some years, the white jade surface is slightly yellowish, flat square, the front is carved with a dragon pattern of the lake stone, and the back is plain and without lines. The dragon lies on the lake stone, the demeanor is high-spirited and upright, fierce and fierce, there is a flame bead next to it, there are wave patterns under the stone, and there are Ganoderma lucidum as decorations before and after.

Judging from the shape and carving characteristics of the dragon, it is in line with the characteristics of jade in the Yuan Dynasty, but under the observation of the magnifying glass in the hand of Meng Zitao, some problems are still seen......
