Li Xiaoyue used to work in a calligraphy and painting shop and knew how to make handmade folding fans.

However, in the past, the fan bones were ready-made, and now she can only entrust a carpenter to polish the fan bones with good wood and fix them with holes at the bottom.

Originally, Li Xiaoyue thought that the carpenter skills in the village were not good, but after Li Laohan learned of Li Xiaoyue's idea, he criticized her, "Xiaoyue, don't underestimate the carpenter Sun in our village." ”

Li Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, "Carpenter Sun, I saw the table made for my family, it's very ordinary!" ”

Hearing this, Li Laohan couldn't cry or laugh, "That's because your family could only afford such things at the beginning, and your house furnishings could only be worthy of a table." ”

Li Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, looked around, and smiled dumbly, "Dad, you're right." My house and furnishings are really not worthy of good furniture. ”

"Dad, then tell me, what is the origin of my uncle? Over the years, I have been alone, and I have only accepted a few apprentices, quietly, anyway, I am so old, I can talk to him no more than five times. ”

When Li Laohan heard this, he sighed, "He is also a hard-working person, and his family is a court carpenter in the former dynasty." Later, when Dayan was established, they became Dayan court carpenters. ”

"That's right, it's just a change of master, there is craftsmanship, why don't you just do things well?"

"If it could be that simple, there wouldn't be so much to do." Li Laohan sighed, his eyes were far away, as if he was caught in a memory, "I was involved in a palace struggle, and there was wood on the table in a favored concubine's house that was soaked in the medicine of slippery tires, and finally I checked it and found it on the head of the Sun family." ”

"The Sun family is very wronged, and they don't know what's going on? Obviously, it was all three years ago, and it was still in the previous dynasty at that time, and it was all good at that time, and it was confused, and your uncle's father was beaten with fifty boards, and it was gone on the spot. ”

"The others were exiled to the northwest, and when they came here, your uncle Sun was left alone. I was in the capital at that time, and Mr. Sun once gave me a gun, and I knew him, so I took him over and settled in Lihua Village. ”

Li Xiaoyue was shocked, "Dad, didn't you say that the founding emperor was very wise?" ”

Li Laohan shook his head and sighed, as if thinking of the years back then, "No matter how wise a person is, a person who sits in that seat will inevitably have something that is not well considered." Especially after becoming the emperor just now, there is nothing to be done, and there is no energy left to pay so much attention at all. ”

"Everybody will please him, and everybody will do the same as long as they can hide it from him, and slowly, they will only listen to what they want to hear, and they will only be willing to do what they are willing to do."

Although Li Xiaoyue has not experienced that time, she can imagine it.

"Dad, it's actually good for us to stay away from the capital. At least we can eat beef and drink milk here. ”

Li Laohan smiled, and his laughter was hearty, "Yes, here, I can laugh out loud without worrying about anyone's gaze." It's not like when I was in the capital, when I farted, someone chirped crookedly in the back, as if I was studying whether the fart was smelly or fragrant? ”

Hearing her father's description of the smell, Li Xiaoyue shook her head and smiled, "Since Uncle Sun's craftsmanship is so good, then I'll go find him." ”

"Go ahead!" Li Laohan said with a smile, and suddenly remembered a piece of the past, "Hey, your uncle Sun also gave you a set of fine furniture, but you had to marry Liu Yunde at that time." ”

"Your Uncle Sun didn't like it, so he didn't give it directly, and even if he gave you the most ordinary table, he would charge you the most expensive money."

"This ......" Li Xiaoyue was speechless, how blind her original eyes were, and she tried everything to marry Liu Yunde!

But that's all before!

Li Xiaoyue will not eat back grass no matter what.

When Li Xiaoyue handed over the drawn drawings to Carpenter Sun, Carpenter Sun, who had drooping eyes, indifferent eyes and expressionless face, his eyes lit up after seeing what the drawings were.

"Wonderful!" Carpenter Sun praised, did not speak for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse and a little low.

Li Xiaoyue smiled when she heard Carpenter Sun's compliment, "Uncle Sun, can you make it?" ”

Carpenter Sun nodded happily, "It's not difficult, but the difficult thing is to make it look good and exquisite." Fan, do you have it over there? ”

"Yes, when you make a fan bone for me, I'll just put the fan batter on it."

At this time, Carpenter Sun raised his head and looked at Li Xiaoyue, "Take it all over, I'll get it for you." You're hairy, and you can't do it well. ”

Li Xiaoyue thinks about her own craftsmanship, it's okay to fool laymen, in front of real craftsmen, it is indeed not elegant, "Uncle Sun, do you know how to frame calligraphy and painting?" ”

Carpenter Sun nodded, undoubtedly, "My maternal grandfather used to be a master of painting and calligraphy mounting. ”

"That's it!" Li Xiaoyue stopped talking nonsense, "I'll go back and get you a fan first." By the way, Uncle Sun, you don't have any good wood here, I'll go to the county seat to buy some. ”

Carpenter Sun didn't say much, but opened a door in the house and pointed, "Rosewood, white sandalwood, mahogany, agarwood, etc." Actually, I still have golden silk nanmu here, but ordinary people can't use it, don't think about it. ”

Li Xiaoyue was surprised, and nodded hurriedly, "Uncle Sun is amazing, there is Uncle Sun." ”

Li Xiaoyue handed over her paintings and copied poems to Carpenter Sun.

Carpenter Sun didn't care about it originally, but when he saw the content on it clearly, he was slightly stunned, "You wrote this "Bamboo and Stone"?" ”

Li Xiaoyue hurriedly shook her head, her head shook like a rattle, she didn't have such talent.

"Uncle Sun, it's good that I can read and write, where can I write poetry? I saw it by accident, and I memorized it, and I thought it was good, and it was written on the fan surface. ”

Carpenter Sun thought about it, although Li Xiaoyue seemed shrewd now, her head used to be like a paste paste, and she was very confused, "Well, you really can't write." ”

Li Xiaoyue scratched her head, but she didn't get angry, what Carpenter Sun said was the truth, "Uncle Sun, is the finch card I asked you to make for me last time done?" ”

Carpenter Sun pointed to a box over there, "In that box, it's already ready." ”

After Li Xiaoyue took it, it was made of yellow sandalwood, and the patterns and words engraved on it were very neat, which completely exceeded her expectations.

"Uncle Sun, your craftsmanship is so good! How much does this pair cost? Li Xiaoyue asked, she still wanted to do two more pairs.

One pair was kept for his own use, and the other was given to Li Laohan.

Carpenter Sun waved his hand, "No need, you have a lot of fun with this thing." I've already made a batch, and I'm waiting for it to spread, so I can make a fortune. ”

Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and gave her a thumbs up, "Uncle Sun, you have such a good eye." By the way, if you don't have a shop in the county, you can sell it in my shop. ”

Carpenter Sun smiled: "I think the same way, I will give you rent when the time comes." ”

"Forget the rent, just give me two more decks of finch cards." Li Xiaoyue took the opportunity to make a request, "I will give this thing to Mrs. Gongsun in a few days, I think it will soon spread in Lanshan County, Uncle Sun, if you sell it again, you will definitely be able to make a profit." ”

"That's how your dad gave me the idea." Carpenter Sun smiled, "Three days later, come and get a fan." By the way, I'll make you these two fans you want, and I can sell them in the future, right? ”
