Chu Liuli subconsciously wanted to hold her, but after thinking about it, she retracted her hand.

"Xiao Liuli, you are waiting for me here, waiting for me to come over with Senior Brother Feng!" Before coming to the basketball hall, Yuan Xiaohui deliberately dressed up. Fair skin, bright eyes, and a fiery figure. In Chu Liuli's opinion, her best friend is both youthful and energetic, and has a bit of the charm of a mature woman, and she looks very charming.

Staring at Yuan Xiaohui's back, she cheered for her in her heart.

Although she also secretly likes Zhang Yifeng, at this moment, she really hopes that Yuan Xiaohui can confess successfully, otherwise, in front of everyone's eyes, she will be a big loser.

Ten minutes later, Yuan Xiaohui came back with a calm face, and there was no Zhang Yifeng by her side. Obviously, the results she was expecting did not happen.

Chu Liuli hurriedly greeted her, wanting to comfort her. However, Yuan Xiaohui was neither sad nor depressed, but complained angrily: "This Zhang Yifeng is too annoying, he actually said that she has someone she likes!" I think he's just lying to me, I've never heard of any girl he's with! ”

Seeing her like this, Chu Liuli was much relieved, and deliberately teased her: "You're right, I haven't seen any girl Senior Brother Feng with." Is there a possibility that he likes ......"

Halfway through speaking, she glanced at Yuan Xiaohui, her eyes flickering and mischievous.

"Impossible, how can Zhang Yifeng like men?" Yuan Xiaohui was in a hurry to refute, not realizing how loud her voice was.

People passing by looked at them, and Chu Liuli hurriedly pulled her aside.

With a girlfriend like Yuan Xiaohui, Chu Liuli is very worry-free. That kind of situation where little girls cry and cry and need comfort basically doesn't happen to them.

Yuan Xiaohui was not discouraged by Zhang Yifeng's refusal, in her opinion, the reason why Zhang Yifeng rejected her was because he didn't know her well and hadn't seen the shining points in her.

The two came out of school and took a taxi home.

As soon as Chu Liuli entered the house, he heard a burst of laughter. My mother was cooking in the kitchen, and my father and brother were chatting in the study.

"Dad, brother, what are you talking about?" Chu Liuli changed into slippers and entered the study before she had time to take off her coat.

Seeing that his sister was back, Chu Jingkai turned around and said with a smile: "I was telling my dad that my master was going to take me to participate in the renovation of the palace. Dad said that this is a good thing, a good opportunity to learn and exercise. ”

"Brother, you're amazing! So soon to be an apprentice! It seems that Mr. Feng values you very much! Chu Liuli looked envious.

"That's right, Master is very good to me! Except for my father, it was Mr. Feng who taught me the most. It is indeed a good opportunity to participate in the renovation project of the palace. In what we do, practice is important. Chu Jingkai said sincerely.

Seeing that his father was happy, Chu Liuli took the opportunity to hand him the paper that had been corrected, and flattered: "Dad, the results of my labor in the past ten days, ask for advice!" ”

Chu Zhiwei took the paper with a smile: "You girl, you're quite good at finding the time!" ”

He flipped through a few pages and nodded repeatedly, but also made a few suggestions for revision. After reading it, he handed the paper to Chu Jingkai and asked him to make some suggestions.

With the guidance of his father and brother, Chu Liuli is much more down-to-earth. After dinner, she went to the study to pick up the lights and fight at night. When the paper is revised, she can submit it.

Chu Liuli likes ancient buildings, and in her opinion, color paintings are the gorgeous "coat" of ancient buildings. Since the first time she walked into Prince Gong's Mansion, she was fascinated by the colorful paintings under the roof. The relics of Qing Dynasty color paintings in Prince Gong's Mansion have a large time span and rich types, including three categories: Hexi color paintings, spindle color paintings, and Soviet-style color paintings, totaling ten sub-categories. Chu Liuli not only consulted a large number of materials, but also carefully observed every place in the palace where there were colorful paintings.

Mansion East Road, Duofuxuan and Le Dao Hall. The front yard Duofuxuan is the first group of complete quadrangle courtyards in the second palace gate of East Road, which is composed of the main house and the ear room, the platform, the east and west wings and other houses. The Le Dao Hall in the backyard is the last private courtyard in the East Road building, and the Fenghe Xi color painting in the hall has the characteristics of painting in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The building of the West Road of the Mansion is more elegant, and the main buildings are the West Second Mansion Gate, the Baoguang Room and the Xijin Zhai. There are painted paintings under the eaves of the building corridor of the Baoguang room, the beams in the house are well preserved in the late Qing Dynasty paintings, the pattern is the burden type Song Jin, this is the best preserved color painting content in the house, all of them are painted by high-level color painting craftsmen at that time, and the golden patterns are all made of real gold.

With the study of the color painting of Prince Gong's mansion, Chu Liuli felt more and more that the color painting of ancient buildings was a broad and profound field, and lamented that such a perfect skill had not received enough attention. At that moment, she came up with an idea that she wanted to use words and brushes to show the beauty and value of ancient architectural paintings, so she had this paper entitled "A Study of Ancient Architectural Paintings in Prince Gong's Mansion".

Before going to bed, Guo Yajuan brought her daughter a glass of milk and told her to go to bed early. Chu Liuli agreed to take the cup, kissed her mother on the face, and pushed her to the bedroom door.

Back in the study, Chu Liuli stretched her body and proofread the paper while drinking milk. She suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a book in her father's bookcase, which was dedicated to writing ancient architectural paintings, so she opened the bookcase to find it. In the middle of the two books at the bottom of the bookcase, she found a wooden box, took it out and put it under the light to take a closer look, and couldn't help but marvel at the delicate and ingenious carving of the wooden box. She sniffed it gently, and the wooden box exuded a faint aroma, as if it was made of sandalwood.

She had never seen this before, and she wondered what was here. It's just that the wooden box is locked, and she can't open it at all.

Chu Liuli was thinking about how to open the wooden box when footsteps came from outside the door. Chu Liuli raised his head in response, and Chu Zhiwei had already pushed the door in.

"Liuli, why don't you sleep so late?" The light in the study was very strong, and Chu Zhiwei asked with a slight squint.

"I'll change the paper and go to sleep, Dad, you can sleep first." Chu Liuli responded.

While the two were talking, Chu Zhiwei noticed the wooden box on the table, "You kid, why did you take this out?" He seemed to cherish the contents of the wooden box, and he didn't say anything to Chu Liuli, and left with the wooden box in his hand.

His move made Chu Liuli even more curious. She even began to make up for it, where her father's private money was there, or a love letter to her first love.

But no, he remembered that his mother had said that she and his father were each other's first love. Moreover, they had some twists and turns when they were together.

Chu Zhiwei and Guo Yajuan were childhood sweethearts and grew up together, but the Chu family was in the middle of the road, Chu Zhiwei did not go to college, and learned carpenter skills from the old craftsmen in the capital. Chu Zhiwei and Guo Yajuan have always had a good relationship, but the Guo family didn't want to marry their college-going daughter to a little carpenter, so they arranged a family affair for Guo Yajuan. Guo Yajuan escaped marriage and married Chu Zhiwei behind her parents' back. Therefore, the Chu and Guo families have not been in contact for a long time. It wasn't until Chu Jingkai was born that the two old men of the Guo family saw their grandson and accepted Chu Zhiwei.

From childhood to adulthood, his father was very strict with their two children, but he was very fond of their mother Guo Yajuan. No matter how busy he is, he rarely asks his wife to cook, and he does most of the housework. Chu Jingkai and Chu Liuli caused trouble and let their father criticize them, and they would ask their mother for help together. They didn't know it when they were young, but later they understood their father's feelings for their mother. As the saying goes, it is to hold it in your hand for fear of falling, and to hold it in your mouth for fear of melting.

Therefore, Chu Liuli quickly denied the reverie just now, with his father's feelings for his mother, it is impossible to hide private money, let alone have contact with other women behind his mother's back, so what is in the wooden box?
