Got to the library.

He Ying took his three roommates in to borrow books, but Chu Mingchen secretly ran to the bathroom to call Tan Weimin on the grounds that he was in a hurry.

In fact, the moment he roared loudly at Ye Fangyu, he regretted it.

Teacher Ye didn't need to help himself at all, but he still said those words head-on. Now that I think about it, if I were Ye Fangyu, I would definitely let several people hang up their electives, and then pull a few people into the blacklist forever.

Thinking of this, Chu Mingchen couldn't sit still.

"Toot-toot-"

The wait time to get the call answered was so long.

Just when Chu Mingchen imagined countless irreversible consequences in his mind, Tan Weimin "fed" on the other end of the phone.

"Grandpa Tan! Help me! Chu Mingchen blurted out, "This time I really messed up!" Grandpa Tan, you must help me talk to Teacher Ye about good things! ”

"Huh?" Tan Weimin's voice became deeper and lower, "She...... Didn't bother you? ”

"It's not! If only she hadn't bothered me. Chu Mingchen sat on the toilet lid, and then recounted today's experience, and then did not forget to be coquettish with Tan Weimin, "Grandpa Tan, you help people to the end, and now I have put my life on you." ”

Unbeknownst to him, Tan Weimin on the other end of the microphone was just silent for a moment, and then laughed.

Chu Mingchen wanted to cry without tears: "Grandpa Tan! When are you still smiling! ”

"I can't imagine that Teacher Ye, who has always been gentle and elegant, ignores the mundane world, would say such things to you! Hahaha~" Tan Weimin's voice was like a bell, and he seemed to be quite happy, "You know, it's been ten years since I saw her lose her temper!" ”

"What?" Chu Mingchen was a little puzzled.

But Tan Weimin's next words made him fall into deep thought.

"Actually, Mr. Ye wasn't so indifferent before."

Tan Weimin exhaled heavily after speaking, and seemed to recall the time when he was an ordinary faculty member twenty years ago:

She is a top student of the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University, if it weren't for the accident 20 years ago, she would not have come to that time, and she was still a teacher in an ordinary college and university. However, after she came to Tianyang, she never complained about the injustice of fate, but worked hard and taught. It is also very active in promoting the profession of ancient architecture. At that time, she was the only teacher in the entire Tianyang City who proposed to open a major in ancient architecture in a university. Of course, the university also takes this proposal very seriously. ”

"Then why didn't you open this major?" Chu Mingchen listened carefully and asked questions very actively.

"If you want to open a new major, how can it be so simple?" Tan Weimin continued, "The school and the leaders of all parties said at the time that it was not impossible to open a major in ancient architecture, but the faculty was a problem, and there were almost no employment prospects in ancient buildings at that time. ”

Chu Mingchen nodded after hearing this.

Not to mention 20 years ago, even now, the ancient architecture major is not very employable.

"And what about later? How does Mr. Ye do it? He wanted to know more about whether Ye Fangyu would choose to give up or continue.

"Later, in addition to teaching the history of architecture, Mr. Ye also coordinated this work in many ways, but he was frequently rejected by the school because of the lack of teachers."

Tan Weimin said and sighed:

Thankfully, it wasn't until 10 years ago that one of her students signed up for an architecture competition. In the face of generous prizes and internationally recognized certificates, the students were very excited, and in order to stand out in the competition, they thought of using the unique mortise and tenon structure of ancient Chinese architecture to design their works. But when it comes to ancient buildings, they only know a little about it. ”

"So, they found Teacher Ye?"

At this moment, Chu Mingchen suddenly felt that he was no different from those students, and a bad premonition faintly rose in his heart.

"Not bad." Tan Weimin did not deny it, "These students wanted to ask her to do all-round guidance, and she readily agreed." The school leaders also said that if the students can win the competition with the works of ancient Chinese architectural elements, it will prove that Tianyang is capable of opening ancient architecture courses, which is great news for Mr. Ye. ”

Hearing this, Chu Mingchen could almost foresee the outcome of this matter.

For the next few months, she barely slept at all. Not only did he give lectures to students in his spare time, teaching them how to make ancient architectural models, but also used all his personal relationships to help them borrow precious historical materials, and found many inheritors to teach them how to carve doors and windows, and how to decorate with colorful paintings. He even took them to BJ, Shanxi, Gansu and other places at his own expense to visit ancient buildings. ”

Tan Weimin said this, and sighed slightly:

However, it backfired, and a few of these students changed the already set ancient Chinese architectural works into contemporary architectural works that integrated Western architectural styles without communicating with her a month before the competition. It was too late for the other students to form a team, and the reason why those students did it was because they wanted to study abroad. Teacher Ye was devastated and cried for a whole afternoon. ”

This kind of encounter is almost exactly the same as He Ying.

Chu Mingchen just took a shallow substitution, and he was so angry that he swore words, but you can imagine how sad Ye Fangyu would be at that time.

"And what about later? Teacher Ye just swallowed his anger and passed? ”

"Later~" Tan Weimin was silent for a while before he said slowly, "Later, she rested for a long time, and when she returned to school, it was like a different person." Not only did he not continue to promote the establishment of the Department of Ancient Architecture, but he also did not teach any courses related to ancient architecture. ”

Silence fell on both ends of the phone.

Tan Weimin recalled everything Ye Fangyu had done for the ancient building, and in addition to regretting, he also felt deeply sorry.

Ten years ago, if I hadn't been invited to be a visiting professor at BJ University, but helped her in Tianyang, the result might have been different.

Of course, if he hadn't had that trip to the capital, he wouldn't have known Shen Qijun in Panjiayuan, let alone accepted such a stubborn person as Chu Mingchen.

Maybe everything is in the dark, it's already predestined, right?

And Chu Mingchen, who was sitting on the toilet lid, heard Ye Fangyu's bumpy teaching experience, and it was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, which was cold from head to toe.

Isn't it appropriate that he and He Ying are copies of those ungrateful students ten years ago?

Just yelled at himself like a bear, even if Ye Fangyu beat herself out with a mallet, it was not too much.

Thinking of this, he said to Tan Weimin in a slumbering voice:

"Then since that's the case, Grandpa Tan, let's find another teacher, she is more sad than dead, and we don't want to open her wounds again, and then sprinkle salt into it, right?"

Who knew that this time, it was Tan Weimin who was puzzled: "Huh? How can you let go of such a great opportunity? ”

"Grandpa Tan, you...... What do you mean? ”

"I mean, in the last 10 years, she never talked about ancient buildings. But this time, her attitude towards you is really unusual. ”

Tan Weimin thought about it for a while, and not only recognized He Ying and Chu Mingchen's proposal, but also put forward his own suggestions:

"In my opinion, you might as well take what she said this time, have a good understanding of the topic, and see what her attitude is tomorrow. In ancient times, Liu Bei looked at the thatched cottage and got Zhuge Liang, you have only been rejected once, and the heat is still far away! ~”

"Then I'll contact you anytime tomorrow." When Chu Mingchen heard this, he was instantly full of confidence.

After saying goodbye, he walked out of the bathroom.

The four girls had been waiting in the lobby of the library for a while.

Seeing that Chu Mingchen was late, he couldn't help but say, and directly stuffed all the books in his hand into his hand, and walked out of the library together.

Looking at the brick-like books piled up on his chest, Chu Mingchen only felt that his two hands were about to be broken: "Hey! What are you borrowing? Is it so thick that you can see it all? ”

Although he complained, he still put the book on his shoulders and followed the footsteps of the four of them.

Because he needed to talk and discuss, He Ying chose the location of this afternoon's and tomorrow morning's surprise review in the multimedia classroom of the teaching building of the School of Architecture.

The moment the key was inserted into the door lock, she only felt like a world away.

The last time I came to this classroom, I fought with Lin Ru for the entry.

Who would have thought.

This time, he actually brought three roommates who had no foundation in ancient buildings, and a junior who never attended classes, to make up for the common sense of ancient buildings?

The trajectory of life is really incredible.

She arranged for a few people to sit in the front row, turned on the projection and connected it to the computer by herself, and then stood in the main position and said to Chu Mingchen:

"We don't have much time, and each of us has a different major and understands different fields, so just now while you were away, we made a simple division of labor. My major is ancient architecture, so I will explain the history and common sense of ancient architecture, and you only need to make relevant supplements. ”

Chu Mingchen waved his hand and put one leg on the table: "Meaningless." ”

"Put your legs down!" He Ying glanced at him, and then looked at Tang Guoguo: "Guoguo is from the Department of Landscape Architecture, and the knowledge about Chinese gardens will be handed over to you." ”

"Oh yes, I—I'll do my best." Tang Guoguo was so nervous that his hands were sweaty, but he still mustered up the courage to nod heavily.

"Gu Ji is a civil engineering student, not only has internship experience, but also is good at large wood work, so this part will be introduced by you."

"No problem." Gu Ji answered simply, as if he was confident.

Hearing this, Chu Mingchen pointed to Lou Xinyue, who was dressed up in a fancy way: "What about her?" Idle? ”

"You're doing nothing!" Lou Xinyue glared at him dissatisfied.

But he Ying pointed to Chu Mingchen's schoolbag full of "bricks", and said seriously: "Lou Xinyue is the only one among us who studies Chinese language and literature, and you have to count on her to translate the ancient books in your schoolbag!" ”

"Huh~ I can't see that you still have this ability! ~" Chu Mingchen joked with a smile.

Lou Xinyue was even more arrogant and replied: "Of course! Miss Ben has a lot of skills! ”

Neither of them looked down on anyone, rolled their eyes at each other, and then quietly listened to He Ying continue.

"Well, without further ado, we'll get started now."

As usual when the teacher lectures, He Ying opened a PPT, but the content in it was different from the teacher's lesson plan:

"Actually, I have thought of introducing you to the history of ancient Chinese architecture in the order of the book. But today, Mr. Ye mentioned that many ancient Chinese architects were not known. So on a whim, I just combined the architects of each dynasty with the historical background of the time to talk about architectural examples, and it might be easier for everyone to remember. ”

Seeing that the four people in the audience nodded in agreement.

He Ying then began a unique lesson: "Then let me ask a question first, do any of you know who the first architect in ancient China was?" ”

"Counted?" Tang Guoguo spoke very actively, but saw He Ying shake his head.

Lou Xinyue's eyes lit up: "That's Lu Ban?" ”

"Not really." He Ying said that this was suddenly sold, "Speaking of this one, it has to be traced back to ancient times, and the three with the same name as him are also included in the list of 'Three Emperors'." ”

"Three Emperors?" Gu Zhaodi, who had been silent, spoke, "I know that the Suiren clan invented drilling wood to make fire; Fu Xi invented writing, gossip, and ritual music; Shennong's invention of farming, medicine and calendar, and also pioneered the water conservancy and irrigation technology connected by nine wells, could it be that the first architect was Shennong? ”

"No, he's not among the Three Emperors."

Seeing that everyone couldn't answer, He Ying immediately announced the answer:

"These four characters who exist in ancient legends, in addition to the Fuxi clan, the Shennong clan and the Suiren clan that Gu Ji said, there is also a Chao clan. It was this Youchao who invented the earliest house in China, the Ganlan building. ”

She said and clicked on the PPT.

I saw that the building above was first built with wooden piles to build a base high above the ground, and then a house was built with wooden frames on top of it, which is a bit like a stilted building.

"The earliest buildings were built with wooden frames in imitation of birds' nests. And its real thing was unearthed from the Hemudu cultural site that is 7,000 years old. According to the estimation of the time of ancient development, the time when Chao invented this kind of dry column building has been more than 10,000 years ago. It is the earliest wooden structure of mankind so far. It is more visible than the ruins of Donevistonis in the Czech Republic, which dates back 27,000 years. ”

"So there are still buildings so early?" Chu Mingchen was very incredible, "Then now you can only go to the ruins to see!" ”

"Not really!" He Ying immediately added, "Until now, the Buyi, Dong, Jingpo, Dai and other fraternal ethnic groups in the southwest of China are still using this architectural form. Therefore, the contribution of China's first architect is extraordinary! ”

"And what about the second one?" Tang Guoguo's thinking became more and more flexible, "Since the first architect was in ancient times, did the second architect exist in the Xia Shang Zhou?" ”

"That's what I'm going to go on to say."

He Ying nodded and moved the PPT to the second page.

The picture on this page is not a single building, but a rectangular plan of the city with walls on the outside and houses on the inside.

"What I'm going to talk about next is China's first pair of capital planners and builders, who together built the ancient capital that survived thirteen dynasties, and is now known as Luoyang, Luoyi."
