After eating, while Chu Zhiwei was talking to Zhang Yifeng and Zhou Wenfeng, Guo Yajuan mysteriously pulled Chu Liuli to the study and closed the door.

"Mom, what are you doing? I still have to wash the dishes! "Chu Liuli has water on his hands.

"You don't need to brush it, I'll wait for my mother to brush it." Guo Yajuan's voice was very low, as if she didn't want people in the living room outside to hear it.

Chu Liuli calmed down and listened to what her mother said.

"Liuli, Yifeng, this kid looks really good. Mom didn't ask you in detail before, have you seen his parents, how are they? Guo Yajuan asked.

"His parents are out of town, and I haven't seen them yet. Mom, let's not talk about this for now, I'm going to wash the dishes! After speaking, Chu Liuli pushed open the door of the study and went to the kitchen to continue brushing the dishes.

Zhang Yifeng saw Chu Liuli and his mother enter the study together, he didn't know what he said, he was a little curious, but she didn't say it, and he didn't ask. He thought she would tell him if she wanted him to know.

Seeing Zhang Yifeng for the first time, Chu Zhiwei and Guo Yajuan were relatively satisfied, especially Guo Yajuan, who had already begun to associate the scene of their engagement.

Although Chu Zhiwei had always liked Pan Rongxuan before, he could see that his daughter and Zhang Yifeng had a good relationship, so he didn't want to interfere. Moreover, Zhang Yifeng has an elegant temperament and a gentle personality, and belongs to the category of elders.

In the evening, Chu Liuli was about to send Zhang Yifeng downstairs, and Chu Jingkai came back from outside. As soon as he saw Zhang Yifeng, his eyes straightened, looking at him, he had a feeling of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Chu Liuli introduced Zhang Yifeng to his brother. Zhang Yifeng talked to Chu Jingkai for a while before leaving.

In the past few days of the holiday, except for sleeping at night, Zhang Yifeng has been accompanying Chu Liuli, almost like a shadow, eating, watching movies, and going to the playground...... Do everything Chu Liuli likes to do.

Guo Yajuan and Chu Zhiwei discussed, when to meet Zhang Yifeng's parents and settle the matter of the two children, Chu Zhiwei did not object, but he felt that his daughter and Zhang Yifeng were engaged after less than a year of dating, which was too fast.

After the National Day, Zhang Yifeng returned to W City, and Chu Liuli and his master, brothers and sisters were busy with the preparatory work for the repair. In this renovation project, the old experts in ancient architecture provided the old scores before the color paintings, and also provided guidance for them to prepare pigments, Wu Yongzhao benefited very much, and Chu Liuli felt that he had gained a lot.

Wu Yongzhao works rigorously and pays attention to details, even a very small problem can be discovered by him.

At noon on this day, Chu Liuli and his senior brothers and sisters held a boxed lunch, chatting while eating. Taking advantage of Wu Yongzhao's absence, several people began to complain.

"I remember one time when I was making a score, there was a picture that was a little different from the original pattern. The leather lines and fork lines of the original pattern have a very subtle curvature, and I can't see them without looking closely, so I accidentally processed them into straight lines. At that time, Master saw it at a glance and was anxious with me. Zhang Ziyi recalled.

"I still remember Master's words to teach you. Master said that we must be careful and rigorous, and we must not tolerate the slightest sloppiness, because once there is a deviation, we may lose the historical and cultural information passed down by the ancients, leaving behind wrong information, which will mislead future generations, which is extremely irresponsible. Bai Ruoyun added for him.

"That's right, that's what Master said, Senior Sister, you are almost a complete copy!" Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.

"I think Master is right! Our work really can't be sloppy! Chu Liuli felt something.

These days, the relationship between their master and apprentice is getting more and more harmonious. Chu Liuli likes this stern and even ruthless master, which makes her improve a lot.

"Haha, little junior sister, you have become a fan of Master so soon!" Yu Jian, who was called the second senior brother by Chu Liuli, laughed.

"Who are my fans?" A few people were talking about it, and Wu Yongzhao, who had finished eating outside, came back. Behind him was Chu Zhiwei, who was holding back his laughter.

"Ah, Master, I mean, Little Sister is your fan. The little sister especially worships the master! So do we! Yu Jian wittily turned on the sycophancy mode.

"Lao Wu, look at your apprentices, your mouth is so sweet, unlike my monkey cubs, I haven't said a good word!" Chu Zhiwei pretended to be envious.

Wu Yongzhao smiled helplessly: "Their mouths are sweet, but I don't know if they are sincere!" ”

After saying that, he ignored a few apprentices and walked straight to the office. Chu Zhiwei also followed him into the office.

Yu Jian said aggrievedly: "Master, what we said is true. Why don't you believe it! ”

Beside him, there was the sound of Chu Liuli and a few people coaxing.

After getting off work in the evening, seeing that his colleagues were going home one after another, Chu Zhiwei's eldest apprentice Zhou Wenfeng entered Chu Liuli's office. He inquired that it was the teacher's birthday in a few days, and he wanted to prepare with Chu Liuli to let the teacher have an unforgettable birthday.

Zhou Wenfeng originally thought that everyone was gone, only him and Chu Liuli, but he didn't want to hear footsteps outside.

They all followed the prestige, and soon a man walked to the door and looked inside.

Chu Liuli glanced fixedly, it was their eldest brother Hu Xiaoqiang, so he got up and said hello: "Brother Hu, you didn't leave either?" ”

Hu Xiaoqiang looked at Chu Liuli, glanced at Zhou Wenfeng again, and said with a smile: "I just finished being busy and was about to go back, and when I saw that the lights were still on in your office, I came over to take a look." ”

"Let's discuss something together, and we'll be back later." Chu Liuli said.

While speaking, Zhou Wenfeng got up to greet Hu Xiaoqiang.

Hu Xiaoqiang said with concern: "Although you are young, you should also pay attention to your body, it is past eight o'clock, and we will talk about work tomorrow, so let's go back and rest early!" ”

"Brother Hu, we didn't talk about work. We...... I'm studying how to celebrate Mr. Chu's birthday. Zhou Wenfeng didn't want to hide it from him, so he said truthfully.

"Teacher Chu's birthday, what day is it?" Hu Xiaoqiang asked.

"Next weekend." Zhou Wenfeng replied with a smile.

"In that case, I'll study with you, I don't know if you're welcome?" Hu Xiaoqiang took the initiative to ask.

Chu Liuli and Zhou Wenfeng looked at each other and said almost together: "Brother Hu, of course we welcome it!" ”

They sat around, and they all said their thoughts. Zhou Wenfeng integrated the attention of the three of them and made a plan, just call a few colleagues on the second day to rehearse together.

In this way, it was not until about nine o'clock in the evening that Guo Yajuan called Chu Liuli to urge her to go home, and they left together. Chu Liuli also learned some things from Hu Xiaoqiang that she didn't know before.

Recalling the past, his eyes flashed, he said that when he was an apprentice, the practical practice of tile work was carried out on the east side of Hall A, and the four projects of cutting bricks, tiles, mounds, and dry swing walls were all carried out in a high-temperature and open-air environment. They have 6 hours of training outside the home every day. During the training, it was the highest temperature in the local history for the same period, with temperatures reaching 36°C to 38°C at one point. However, even on a "hot day", everyone is still enthusiastic and does not dare to slack off.

Chu Liuli looked at the white hair on Hu Xiaoqiang's sideburns, imagining the situation at that time, and admired him more and more. It is an unknown craftsman like him who spends his entire youth guarding the Forbidden City. They exchanged their gray hair for the eternal youth of the Forbidden City.

Chu Liuli was glad that she was also one of them.
