Chapter 314: Ancient Mansions in the Late Qing Dynasty?
After more than ten minutes, He Yun and Wang Su sent Lu Dong to the gate.
"Wang Su, He Yun, you should stay! We'll see you next time! ”
"Lu Dong, aren't you really going to eat dinner with me?" Looking at Lu Dong in front of him, Wang Su couldn't help but ask.
"No, I'm coming back this time, I only have a four-day vacation, and the time is relatively tight, so I can't stay long, otherwise I won't be able to catch the plane." Lu Dong shook his head and directly rejected Wang Su.
When he came back this time, he was already short of time, if it weren't for the house, he would have arrived at the airport at this moment.
"Oh well! I wish you a smooth journey, write to me when you have nothing to do, and of course, I will write to you often. Wang Su nodded and said, then waved his hand and watched Lu Dong turn around and leave.
After Lu Dong left, Wang Su turned his head to look at He Yun and asked, "He Yun, do you want to take the key to take a look at the courtyard next door?" ”
"No need, Brother Wang, didn't you say before that the layout of the courtyard next door is similar to yours?" He Yun thought about it, shook his head and said.
But Wang Su said: "I suggest you still take a look, although the courtyard next door is similar to mine, but the area is larger than mine, and the courtyard next door has not been inhabited for a long time." ”
"Haven't you lived in a long time?" He Yundao.
"Hmm...... It's been about two or three years, Lu Dong has been living with his parents for the past few years, his parents originally lived in the welfare house of the unit, as for this house because it is an ancestral house, so it is not often lived, so there may be some rooms in disrepair and need to be repaired before they can be occupied. ”
"Oh......? Then I'll check it out! As soon as he heard that some rooms might be in disrepair and needed to be repaired, He Yun immediately changed his mind.
He took the key and walked to the gate of the courtyard next door, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
At this time, when he saw that the locks on the door were a little rusty, he couldn't help but mutter.
After a while, he took a lot of effort to open the door.
After entering the courtyard, He Yun was immediately stunned by the wild grass in front of him.
"This ......"
In the courtyard, there is a lot of grass, and the glass of the houses on the left and right sides is also broken a lot, and many of the roof tiles in the main hall are broken, and it is estimated that the main hall is leaking rain.
Sure enough, when he opened the doors of all the rooms and looked at them one by one, he couldn't help but cry and laugh.
I seem to have been "pitted".
The courtyard house he bought is in disrepair, and it is clear that it has not been repaired.
"Ahem...... I may not have been in in a long time, this ...... It's a bit ...... After all, this is an ancestral home, and it has been many years. ”
At this time, Wang Su, who walked in with him, was also embarrassed, and he didn't expect this courtyard to be broken like this.
It's definitely not good to live in, and even repairing it takes a lot of money.
This made Wang Su secretly feel that he was a little sorry for He Yun.
"If I had known this was what it looked like, I would have ...... He Yun, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this courtyard to break into this way! ”
Seeing Wang Su's face full of guilt and embarrassment, He Yun smiled and shook his head and said, "It's okay, Brother Wang, I won't live here now anyway." ”
"And I've just seen it, although this courtyard is in disrepair, but it may be because of the ancestral house, whether it is the pillars or the beams in this courtyard, they are particularly firm, and there are even some places where the beams are carved and painted, as if it is the style of the late Qing Dynasty."
"I heard Lu Dong mention that this courtyard is said to have been built in the Xuantong period, when thousands of silver dollars were spent, and the pillars and beams were made of fine wood." Wang Su seemed to remember something, and said immediately.
"Isn't that seventy or eighty years old? This is a heritage building, right? He Yun whispered, then raised his head and looked at Wang Su again.
"Brother Wang, do you know if there are such craftsmen in the vicinity who can repair such an old house?"
"This ...... There doesn't seem to be a craftsman who repairs such an ancient house, but you don't live there, why do you ask this? Wang Su pondered for a moment and replied.
"I want to ask to see if I can repair the old and maintain the original style of this ancient house, especially those reliefs and colored carvings, if they can't be preserved, it would be a pity."
When He Yun's words fell, Wang Su suddenly seemed to think of something, and he immediately said: "When you say this, I think I think of a person, I think he should be able to help you!" ”
"Maybe you can ask Ma Weidu, he might be able to help you."
"Ma Weidu?" He Yun was stunned.
"That's right! It was him, in addition to his love of writing, he also liked to study traditional things, such as ceramics and wooden windows, and he also liked to collect these things, and he was sure to know such craftsmen. ”
"It's just...... He doesn't seem to be in Kyoto lately, I'm afraid you won't find him! At this time, Wang Su said again.
"Not in Kyoto? Okay, Brother Wang, if he comes back, please help me ask him. He Yun replied.
"Okay! I'll be sure to ask for you. ”
…………
When He Yun returned to Hunan Normal University, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon of the third day.
Fortunately, it happened to be a Sunday, and he didn't have a class.
So, when he returned to the rental house, he went straight to bed and fell asleep.
This night, he slept until seven o'clock the next morning.
When he woke up, his stomach was rumbling.
Half an hour later, the cafeteria of Hunan Normal University.
He Yun directly ate seven buns in one go, and then went to class with a bulging belly.
After class, Professor Liu called him.
"Xiaohe, I have an academic research project here, are you free now?"
"Uh...... Professor Liu, why did you find me? I remember that there are several seniors in our major, and they are all in the second and third years of graduate school, and I am only in the first year of graduate school, so ...... should you find them? ”
"They all have tasks, if you really don't have time, then forget it, I'll go find Li Ruihua and the two of them later, and ask them if they're free?" Professor Liu explained.
After saying this, Professor Liu let He Yun leave.
And He Yun couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief after leaving Professor Liu's office.
To be honest, it's not that he doesn't want to agree to Professor Liu, but he really doesn't have time.
After all, the script of "Love in Lakes and Mountains" alone is enough for him to write, not to mention, he is also creating his first fantasy "Wild Shenhailu" at the same time, how can he have time to continue to do Professor Liu's academic projects.
However, when it comes to the script of "Love in Lakes and Mountains", he is almost finished with the first draft of the script at this moment.
On the whole, this script still has many similarities with the original book, however, there are also many differences from the original book.
