Sun Zhang just came over to take a look at it casually, and originally didn't plan to really buy a coffin to go back, after all, he opened the largest coffin shop in the entire Ningchuan Mansion, so why do you need to go to a small shop outside to buy it, but the guys in this store really spare no effort to sell it, listening to him constantly praise his boss's craftsmanship and encourage him to make a mouthful, I don't know why, so I nodded.

Thinking that it was just a coffin, it used a lot of silver, and it happened that he was also a little interested in this coffin of Chu Ji: "Come on, then make a mouthful."

Gao Tongshan was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly continued to ask, finalizing other details: "What kind of wood does that boy want, do you have any ideas in your heart?"

"It's okay if you don't think about it for the time being, you tell the little one who this coffin is for, whether it is a man or a woman, how old you are, go back and ask my owner to choose a suitable one for you."

Sun Zhang lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "No need, please ask your boss to help me make a four-cornered longevity coffin made of green sandalwood, the background color is arbitrary, but the painted pictures on it, I want something different, just draw something that has never been painted."

Gao Tongshan was a little hesitant when he heard that this boy wanted green sandalwood, so he nodded and said, "Can the son wait here for a small moment, this green sandalwood is not ordinary wood, the small one needs to be given to the owner, and it can only be done with the approval."

Sun Zhang didn't expect that this guy who could speak well also knew some common sense, and heard that he wanted a four-cornered coffin of green sandalwood, and he knew that he couldn't agree to go back and ask the owner, so he said, "It's okay, tell the owner, as long as the things are satisfied, the price is negotiable."

Gao Tongshan gave Sun Zhang a salute and asked him to wait in the shop for a while, and then he ran to the West Courtyard: "Boss, I can't make up my mind about this matter, so you have to make up your mind."

Hearing this, Chu Yi put down the tools in his hand and said, "What's the matter, Master Gao, you just say it."

"Our shop came to a customer, looking at a rich man's son, I saw that he looked around and was not satisfied, so I told him that we can pick some good wood for him to order, but he said that he wanted a green sandalwood four-cornered coffin, and said that he wanted to draw a pattern that our family had never drawn, originally I thought the other party was a gentleman, but I didn't expect it to seem to be a knowledgeable person, should it not be to smash the field, the boss of this job we take or not?"

Xue Changlin on the side was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked out loud in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with this coffin?"

Xue Changshan patted his younger brother, and then said with some hatred: "Didn't Master tell us that a coffin made of a few whole pieces of wood is called a few corners, and the four corners are made of four whole woods, I can't remember this."

Of course he knows these things that the master has said, the four corners are made of four whole woods, and the six sides of the coffin are required to be complete planks, but because he knows, he doesn't understand why he hesitates, Xue Changlin is a little unconvinced: "Then Brother knows, why does Uncle Gao ask if this job can be accepted?"

"This ...... Master, what's wrong with that sandalwood?"

Chu Yi chuckled lightly and explained to the two apprentices: "Green sandalwood, and the red sandalwood I said before are both sandalwood, but this green sandalwood is more cold-resistant, and it is also available in the north of us, but it is not as much as pine and cypress."

"Master, that's because this tree is hard to find, isn't it?"

"If it's just green sandalwood, it's not so difficult, there will always be some mature wood on a mountain, but this guest wants four corners, then the requirements for the year of the wood are much higher, and it will indeed be not so easy to find, not to mention that green sandalwood is harder than other woods, and to make the whole wood of the four corners of the coffin, it is a big test of craftsmanship and tools."

After Xue Changshan listened to Chu Yi's explanation, he also had the same feeling as Gao Tongshan, I am afraid that this person is not here to smash the field, so he specially gave them a problem: "Master, then shall we still take this job?"

Chu Yi smiled and said to Gao Tongshan and the two apprentices: "Pick it up, although it is a little difficult, but it is not completely impossible to do it, your master still has a lot of beautiful drawings that have not been copied to the coffin, this time find her a more expensive wood to line her." Master Gao, you tell the guest, if he is not in a hurry, ask him to give an address, and we will send this coffin to his house when it is done, and pay a deposit first, and then talk about the rest."

"I know boss."

Gao Tongshan came out of the west courtyard and saw Sun Zhang, who was still waiting for him, first made a salute, and then said: "Childe, our boss took this job, but it may take a long time to do it, you give me an address, our owner said that it will be done and send it directly to you to the house, as for the price, you only need to pay a deposit of two taels of silver for the small one, and then talk about the rest, do you think it is feasible?"

Sun Zhang nodded, took out two taels of silver from the purse in his arms and handed them to the guy in front of him: "The deposit will be given to you, but I won't bother to send it to the house, I will send someone to see it from time to time, when it is done, I will send someone to pick it up myself."

Without waiting for Gao Tongshan to respond, he turned around and walked out of the shop and walked towards the carriage across the street.

Although Chu Yi has been in the West Courtyard for most of the day since the coffin shop was reopened, he has not been busy making coffins, and most of the time he is teaching two apprentices, so the next day after taking over this work, Chu Yi took his apprentices to the two mountains around the county to look for eligible green sandalwood.

Just like Chu Yi said, if you want to find a green sandalwood tree, go to the slope of the mountain to the sunny side or in the mountain stream, you can always find it, but if you want the year to be long enough, the tree body is thick enough to cut out the whole board, but it really takes a lot of effort, fortunately, Huang Tian paid off, and after five or six days of searching on the mountain, Chu Yi still found four green sandalwood that met the needs.

The next thing is to do a good job of marking, contact the workers at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain to cut trees, because the wood is precious, this time Chu Yi is with two apprentices, followed by the whole process of logging, four round thick trunks cut off the branches, and were directly sent to the west courtyard of the Chu family.

For the sake of these four pieces of wood, Chu Yi also made some modifications to the awning of Shen Luzhu before, and then put the four pieces of wood below to dry in the shade naturally, and then checked the progress of the shade drying from time to time, and did some simple trimming treatment along the way.

The process of waiting and making is long, seeing that the Winter Clothes Festival is over, Shen Luzhu gave the two guys in the family a three-day vacation in turn, and his family also rested for a few days, in late October, the green sandalwood four-cornered coffin was finally formed, just waiting for the paint to be colored, and finally Shen Luzhu painted on it.

Regarding the background color of the coffin, the little couple studied for a long time, and finally decided to keep the original yellow-brown color of the green sandalwood, and brush a layer of wood oil on it after polishing and polishing, and the whole coffin was glowing with a faint sandalwood fragrance, which was very different.

As early as the beginning, when he knew that Chu Yi had taken over this job, Shen Luzhu would think about what to draw on this coffin in order to look special, so that the guest would feel satisfied when he saw the finished product.

After thinking about it, I always felt that the original drawings in my hand were mostly similar in type and composition, and they didn't seem to be special enough, especially after seeing the preliminarily formed green sandalwood four-corner coffin, I felt that there was nothing that could match it.

Before going to bed that night, Shen Luzhu was telling Zhengzheng a bedtime story, about the picture books she specially sold to Zhengzheng, which were all fables or idiom stories, this time about lying on the ice and begging for carp.

Reading and reading Shen Luzhu suddenly thought of something, once he had an idea, the ideas kept coming, the more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and as soon as he confirmed that he was already asleep, he immediately got up and got up from the quilt.

Noticing the movements of his wife beside him, Chu Yi also got up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Chu Yi, I just had a good idea, I know what to draw on that coffin!"

Chu Yi smiled when he heard this, "Ah Zhu, do you want to start writing now?"

Shen Luzhu was stunned when he heard this, he was so excited that he forgot that it was already night at this time, so he laughed twice and lay back again: "I forgot that it was so late."

Chu Yi smiled and helped his wife re-cover the quilt and said, "Is Azhu sleepy? If you're not sleepy, would you like to talk to me?"

Shen Luzhu was naturally not sleepy, turned over and hugged Chu Yi's waist, found a comfortable position in his arms, thought for a while and asked, "Chu Yi, do you know the story of the twenty-four filial pieties?"

Shen Luzhu shook his head when he saw Chu Yi, and asked again, "Do you know that lying on the ice and begging for carp, strangling the tiger to save your father?"

Chu Yi smiled

"Didn't you just tell Zhengzheng?"

Shen Luzhu felt that she was a little stupid today, and she was a little happy, but Chu Yi's answer confirmed the guess in her heart.

Daqian is not any dynasty that Shen Luzhu knew in his previous life, but many customs and traditions, and even the knowledge system are similar to the ancient times of her previous country.

About this twenty-four filial piety picture, or Shen Luzhu saw in the last life on the Internet in a news mentions, it is said that a village graffiti on the wall facing the street in the village, painted the story of the twenty-four filial piety, to promote filial piety to the villagers, at that time she also deliberately searched for a certain Du Niang, about the story of twenty-four filial piety.

The guest who ordered the coffin said that he wanted something special, he had not painted it, since it was a coffin, and the scenery burial was also a way for people to show their filial piety, so why not talk about the twenty-four filial piety pictures on the coffin?

She can use the method of comic books to draw the stories of filial sons and grandsons well-known to these great cadres on the coffin, which should be absolutely special.

Shen Luzhu carefully said his thoughts to Chu Yi: "Just like the illustrations in picture books, let's choose a few household names and draw them on that coffin, what do you think of Chu Yi?"

Who is Chu Yi, the spoiled wife madman naturally will not deny his wife's idea, and he also thinks this idea is good, so he stretched out his hand to hug his wife tighter, and boasted: "My Azhu is really amazing!"

Shen Luzhu said with a smile: "It's not that my father-in-law's coffin is too good, I don't think of a good idea, how can I deserve it!"
