Chapter 27: Grievances
After Zhang Yifeng came back, Chu Liuli enjoyed the beautiful days of being picked up after work every day.
Her painting group is making preliminary preparations for the repair of color paintings such as mounting the base paper and tying the scores...... Although Chu Liuli is very tired every day, she feels very fulfilled and enjoys it. For her, being able to do the work she loves is both tiring and happy.
After months of hard work, the Taihe Hall completed the main spine and closed the dragon, and the treasure box was placed back in the "Dragon Gate". This marks the completion of nearly sixty percent of the 100-year overhaul project of Jinluan Palace.
The "dragon gate" is the location in the center of the main ridge, and the process of putting the treasure box into the main ridge is called "closing the dragon". The main buildings in the Forbidden City have treasure crates, which are commonly known as "town things". The kisses at both ends of the main ridge of the Taihe Hall have also been installed. There are more than 40,000 fan tiles and more than 100,000 bottom tiles in the Taihe Palace, each tile is numbered when it is removed and wiped, and each tile is "numbered" when installed.
After the Taihe Hall is closed, the repair of the heavy roof of the main hall is nearing completion, and lightning protection facilities will be installed. The focus of the overhaul shifted to paint painting. With sufficient preparatory work in the early stage, the construction of the color painting group is in full swing.
On this day, Chu Liuli went to the scaffold with a bowl in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. When he stood firm, he reacted, and he was in a hurry for a while, and he didn't follow the master's request. She thought to herself, it's not too late to make bowls when she waits.
After making up his mind, Chu Liuli waved his brush and started. After this period of experience, she has no fear of climbing to the top. For her, painting on scaffolding is no different from what she used to do in the office.
Wu Yongzhao had just been called to a meeting, and he came out of the conference room to see how the apprentices were doing.
Walking to the front of the main hall, Wu Yongzhao saw Chu Liuli at a glance, and when he got closer, he couldn't help but be angry, his always obedient disciple actually went to work on the scaffold without knocking it off.
However, although he was angry, he thought that talking to her suddenly would startle her, Wu Yongzhao resisted the urge to teach people a lesson, and waited for her to come down under the scaffolding.
When she was working, Chu Liuli was very engaged and focused, and when she finished partly coloring and was about to come down to load the paint, she found that her master was standing next to her.
"Master, when did you come?" Chu Liuli asked.
Wu Yongzhao didn't answer, he kept staring at Chu Liuli until she landed and stood firmly, and then said sharply: "Chu Liuli, do you know what you did wrong just now?" ”
His voice was loud, and he didn't mean to suppress it in the slightest.
Chu Liuli was taken aback, and instantly understood what the master said, the master repeatedly told them to pay attention to safety, but she was negligent for a while, and she didn't miss it, and she didn't think so.
"Master, I didn't remember to fall down until I went up, and I want to ...... when I come down again."
"You can do whatever you want? In case of danger, it's too late for anything! ”
Wu Yongzhao's voice became louder, causing the apprentices who were working nearby to quickly get off the scaffolding. Although their master was strict, he rarely got so angry, and the object of his anger was still their little sister who had always been serious and sensible.
Chu Liuli knew that she had done something wrong, but she felt that the master would not say anything about her in front of her brothers and sisters because of such a trivial matter. She couldn't hold her face for a moment, put the bowl and paintbrush aside, and ran away.
Wu Yongzhao looked at the direction she left, and swallowed what she wanted to say after all.
"I'll go find my junior sister, you persuade Master, don't make him too angry!" Wu Yongzhao's eldest apprentice, Bai Ruoyun, said to his junior disciples.
Wu Yongzhao only accepted two female apprentices, one is Chu Liuli, and the other is Bai Ruoyun, among several apprentices, she is the oldest, she treats her younger brothers and sisters well, and her younger brothers and sisters also respect her.
Several juniors and disciples agreed to go to Wu Yongzhao, and Bai Ruoyun went to chase Chu Liuli.
Chu Liuli ran very fast, but fortunately, Bai Ruoyun's physical strength has always been good, and the distance between them is getting closer and closer.
"Ruri, wait for me!" Bai Ruoyun called Chu Liuli while running.
Hearing the voice of her senior sister, Chu Liuli slowed down and gradually stopped. But she didn't dare to turn around, for fear that her tearful eyes would be seen by Bai Ruoyun.
"You little girl, you run so fast, if it weren't for my physical strength, I would have to make you tired and vomit blood!" Bai Ruoyun gasped, and as he spoke, he had already walked up to Chu Liuli.
"What, wronged? Still crying? ”
Chu Liuli couldn't hold back, and two clear and crystal tears slipped from her eyes uncontrollably, and they happened to be seen by Bai Ruoyun who had just come over.
"Isn't it just that it didn't fall? Master, as for saying that about me? Chu Liuli was very aggrieved.
"Ruri, you think it's a trivial matter that you didn't hit the shot. Do you remember what Master said that when we do color painting repairs, we inevitably have to climb ladders and climb high, which is dangerous, so our smart predecessors invented the bowl drop. With a paintbrush and paint hanging on your left wrist, and a railing or other object with your left hand, you can draw with your right hand. That's why Master is so angry, just worried about you, afraid that you are in danger. Bai Ruoyun's words, although the tone was gentle, were loud.
In her warm voice, Chu Liuli gradually calmed down. Yes, she was right, Master was just worried about her, afraid that she would be in danger. It's just that his tone made her unacceptable, and being criticized by her master in front of her senior brothers and sisters made her feel very face-saving.
From childhood to adulthood, she was a good student and a top student, and it was too late for the teachers to spoil her, and no teacher had ever been so strict with her.
Seeing that her expression softened, Bai Ruoyun persuaded again: "Liuli, listen to Senior Sister, go wash your face first, and when you think about what to say, apologize to our master." I promise, he'll forgive you soon. ”
"Senior sister, I'm ......" Chu Liuli lowered his head.
"Are you embarrassed to go to see Master?" Bai Ruoyun interrupted her and asked.
Chu Liuli didn't speak, but Bai Ruoyun had already read her careful thoughts.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister will go with you. Moreover, I guess at this time, Master has been persuaded by your senior brothers, and he is beginning to regret it. Bai Ruoyun hugged Chu Liuli's shoulders and whispered in her ear.
Chu Liuli looked up at her and smiled.
When Bai Ruoyun pulled Chu Liuli back to Wu Yongzhao to apologize, Wu Yongzhao was no longer at the construction site. Zhang Ziyi, who had been repairing the skills center two years before Chu Liuli, said that not long after they left, Wu Yongzhao was called away by Chu Zhiwei.
Chu Liuli thought, the master is with his father, so he won't complain to his father!
"Liuli, you rest for a while, and when the master comes back, I'll do your work for you!" Seeing that Chu Liuli's face was not good, Bai Ruoyun was a little worried.
"It's okay, senior sister, I won't wait for the master first, and I'll apologize to the master at noon. Let's get to work! ”
Because of his momentary negligence and impulsiveness, it has been delayed for a long time, Chu Liuli feels guilty and does not dare to delay any longer.
"Then be careful, don't think nonsense!" Bai Ruoyun admonished.
"Don't worry, senior sister, you all go and get busy, I'm fine!" Chu Liuli said firmly.
After Bai Ruoyun and Zhang Ziyi left, Chu Liuli laid the ground and went on the scaffolding again.
Near noon, Zhong Haiyang came over to find Chu Liuli. Chu Liuli glanced at the time and realized that it was already time for the lunch break to eat. She got down from the scaffolding and was attracted by the two colorful cardboard boxes in Zhong Haiyang's hand at a glance.
