Chapter 21 Lu Ban Ruler
Seeing that I had a calm face, Li Chengze said in a trembling voice: "Little brother, now is not the time to be reckless, something will happen, or... Go to your master, right? ”
To be honest, I really don't know the bottom, mainly because it's the first time to make up this kind of thing, but my master's character, I know very well, since he said that he can't come, he will definitely not come, so he said: "I'll try one last time." ”
After saying this, I picked up the toolbox and turned out the Luban ruler from it, which is also known as the class ruler, the door ruler, and the figure-eight ruler, which is the most traditional building ruler in China, which is used to control the size of furniture and houses, and control the size through the Luban ruler to avoid the resonance band of this generation, so as to achieve the effect of breaking the evil fortune.
And this Luban ruler in my hand, is the senior brother's, the material is the best golden silk nanmu, there is a very light aroma, about 1.44 feet long, (45.6 cm in centimeters), 0.24 feet wide, 0.09 feet thick, eight words engraved on the front, wealth, illness, separation, righteousness, officials, robbery, harm, this, under each word, there are four small characters respectively, a total of 32 words, used to distinguish the auspicious.
These thirty-two characters are distinguished by color, usually according to a rule of one white, two black, three green, four bi, five yellow, six white, seven red, eight white, and nine purple, and the unit of each big character is subject to the size of the folk, one inch, six inches, and eight inches are auspicious.
To put it in layman's terms, the size of the doors and windows should fall on one inch, six inches, and eight inches, so that it is a good door and a good window.
Of course, this is the most conventional Luban ruler, and later the Luban ruler was improved, and on the basis of these thirty-two words, the feng shui theory was added, and the size of the word and the word changed slightly, but the change was not big, because of this, the Luban ruler also has a new name, feng shui ruler.
Don't look at this small ruler, if you really want to explain it, you can't finish it in three days and three nights, and the things contained in it can be said to be the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom in China, from carpentry to feng shui.
To get back to the point, I took the Luban ruler, and did not dare to hesitate, first found a stool, stood on it and measured the size of the window head and the wall, the ruler is very good, in an inch position, the big word on this is 'Cai', the small word 'Liuhe', which means harmony and happiness, and Liuhe represents the four directions of heaven and earth, for auspiciousness.
I measured the rulers of the other places of the window, and they were all very good, either on one inch or on six or eight inches, and from this size, this window was auspicious, and there was no harm.
This makes my face more and more ugly, no root water and Lu Ban ruler have not been tested for a reason, but this new house has a strange sound of rubbing mahjong, that can only show a problem, the carpenter who does his hands and feet is better than me, this is also a helpless thing, I am a rookie who has just entered the industry, and the other party is a master.
At that moment, I smiled at Li Chengze embarrassedly and said, "I guess I don't have that ability." ”
His face relaxed, "Little brother, or... It's up to you to invite your master, you can rest assured, the red envelope is indispensable to you. ”
I thought about it, and in the current situation, even if I tried again, I guess I wouldn't be able to try it for a reason, and I didn't refuse his proposal, so I said that I would go to the master, considering that the place where the master lived was a little far away from this village, then Li Chengze offered to drive me over.
I didn't refuse, so he drove straight to the master's village.
When I arrived at the village where the master was, the time was already half past nine in the evening, and Li Chengze said that he was afraid of the master's scolding and did not dare to enter the village, so I had no choice but to enter the village alone.
When I found the master, he was sitting on the edge of the table of eight immortals, eating noodles, and when he saw me come in, he just glanced at me, did not speak, and continued to eat noodles with his head down.
I walked over, first knelt in front of him and kowtowed three times, then stood up and shouted respectfully, "Master." ”
He hummed softly, and then he was gone.
I smiled awkwardly, the master is like this, his temperament is cold, and he rarely deals with people, but I still said cheekily, "Master, I am in trouble, the owner wants to ask you to go over and help take a look, and the price is up to you." ”
He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said nonchalantly, "What?" Do you think being a teacher is like a person who is short of money? ”
I shook my head vigorously and quickly said, "No." ”
In fact, I have always thought that the master is very short of money, otherwise, he would not still live in a mud house at a large age, and the clothes on his body are even more tattered, I once asked my brother this question, and my brother said that the master is a miser, and there is a lot of money in the passbook, but he is not willing to spend it.
The master listened to my words, didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat the noodles, I wanted to speak, but when I saw that the master's face was wrong, I didn't dare to speak, so I had to stay on the side, watching his old man finish eating the noodles, and then watching his old man finish drinking the noodle soup, and finally watching his old man pick up a few noodles that fell on the table, put them in his mouth, and ate them.
"Master, that noodle is dirty!" I hurriedly walked over to stop him.
He glared at me and said lightly, "The noodles are not dirty, but your eyes are dirty." ”
I didn't understand what he meant, and I was about to speak, when I heard the master say, "What you see is not necessarily what you see, it is very likely that others want you to see, just like if you want to see whether this noodle is really dirty, don't use your eyes, your heart, your heart to feel the source of this noodle, to feel how this noodle is made, otherwise, you can only stay on the surface of things in this life, and it is difficult to become a big thing." ”
After that, the master scooped up the crutches, slowly got up, picked up the empty bowl, limped towards the kitchen, and saw that the posture was going to wash the dishes, I hurriedly leaned over, took the empty bowl from his old man's hand, and said, "Master, I'll help you wash it." ”
This time, he did not refuse me, but stared at me meaningfully for a while, stopped talking, and turned and walked towards the coffee table.
When I washed the dishes and came out, he had already made a pot of tea, and while sipping tea, he stared at the position of the door, as if he was looking at something.
I didn't dare to disturb him, so I stood next to him until he called me, "Chuanzi." ”
I hummed and hurriedly said, "Master." ”
"Why did you study art?" He asked me.
I thought about it, and I didn't hide it, so I told him the truth, "My family has no money for me to study, so I study art for money." ”
He nodded, "Yes, for money, it's a very philistine reason, but it's very realistic, so why do you think the master would learn art?" ”
I really don't know this, and I'm not in the mood to ask in detail, mainly because my mind has always remembered the affairs of Li Chengze's family, so I said a few words, and I didn't say why, I saw that the master's face sank, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly said I'm sorry.
