Chapter 4: The Legend of the Cat Ghost (35) - The Mystery of the Time Pavilion
☆☆☆
Li Zhiyi likes bamboo the most, and the last time he painted with Chris, he painted bamboo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He seemed to walk slowly into a painting, and the curved bamboo was like a polite and humble gentleman, bowing down to greet him. The breeze stirs the bamboo forest, the bamboo tide surges, one after another, like the sea, is the sea. The shallow stream passes through the bamboo forest, and the water vapor gathers into mist, and together with the breeze, it drifts around the bamboo, like a fairyland.
No one spoke along the way, only the sound of the water and the rustling of bamboo leaves, which made the forest more and more quiet, and everyone's thoughts drifted away with the faint mist for a while......
Li Zhiyi was obsessed with this beautiful scenery, and he didn't know how long he had walked, until he walked out of the bamboo sea, and after a long time, he let out a long groan: "Zhuang!"
After passing through this fairyland-like bamboo sea, everyone felt that their hearts were suddenly opened, as if they had washed their bodies and minds.
"No wonder Bo Shi refused to leave as soon as he came!" Li Zhiyi said: "Be me, don't say anything else, just this continuous bamboo sea can make me linger, and I want to learn from the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest' to live here!"
Shen Kuo nodded and said, "This is true! The first time I saw it, I thought that Ouyang Gongzi had moved the bamboo sea of Wanlingqing in southern Shunan to the capital, which made people dreamlike and intoxicated. ”
Xiong Daiying smiled slightly, and said in his heart: I really let Lord Shen guess it. The master said that he wanted a sea of bamboo, so Lord Lan and Lord Zhang ordered people to transplant these many bamboos from the land of Shunan overnight.
Xiong Daiying looked at the side of the road as if he was not there. It was the edge of the road made of cobblestone the size of an egg, and the dirt was mixed with gravel, and the rocks were joined by the dirt, and weeds grew out of the crevices in the rocks, and moss spread out, all of which seemed to be old, like a newly planted bamboo forest.
I'm afraid that apart from those two adults, there is no one in the world who can do this.
At this time, there were still six years before Su Shi wrote "Yu Qiansheng Luyunxuan". "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. People are thin and fat, but people are not curable. Although Chris doesn't know these famous sentences, she still knows plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and orchid, and these four friends have been indispensable gentlemen in the aesthetic taste of Chinese since ancient times. Bamboo carries an otherworldly, fresh and elegant taste, and at the same time, it is also a wonderful thing to decorate gardens and gardens.
When he and Zhang Ruoshui were discussing the construction of the "Organ Workshop", Chris thought of using bamboo to make a fence to enclose the construction site that had not yet started. She put forward her own idea, and Zhang Ruoshui also agreed to it. However, she didn't expect this to be done during the time she returned to the palace, and she didn't expect it to be done so perfectly.
When she sat on the flying kite again and lifted off from the dragon formation, she couldn't believe her eyes. Soaring above the hill and looking down on the land, the landscape is full of greenery: a ring of green waves encloses the construction site and the dragon formation in a large circle and a small circle, while a zigzag bamboo forest connects the port and several other buildings. In the light mist, the green bamboo valley made people forget all their sorrows, she was extremely shocked, and she felt a lot for a while, which aroused the inspiration for creation. Back on the ground, I started to work on the blueprints. In the end, in just three days, a strange "pavilion" was erected on the construction site.
Li Zhiyi asked, "Where is the pavilion?"
Shen Kuo pointed to the buildings in the bamboo forest and said, "That's it!"
Hu Shuxiu's attention was immediately attracted. However, instead of a "pavilion", they were greeted by two huge wooden houses next to each other.
"Isn't this a house, how is it a pavilion?" asked Li Zhiyi in surprise.
Xiong Daiying said: "Brother Feng calls it 'Shi Ting'!"
"Shiting?" Li Zhiyi felt even more strange now, it was obviously made of wood!
Shen Kuo said: "Let's go in and take a closer look, and listen to Ouyang Gongzi and the two of you explain!"
It wasn't until they got close enough that they could see more details about the building. It was indeed not a wooden house, because only the direction in which they came in had a relatively closed "wooden wall". However, it is not accurate to call it a "wooden wall", it should be a fence made of vertical and horizontal intersecting wooden strips. The strips of wood also retain the natural color of the log, and really look like huge pencils stacked on top of each other.
As for the other three sides of the building, they are all transparent and open, supported by several square columns.
Generally, there is only a roof and no wall, so it is called a pavilion.
This "pavilion" is not round, but rectangular. The top is replaced by a wooden roof with a green tile roof, and the wooden planks are covered with bamboo chips, which are sturdy and rainproof. Although the structure of the top cover is a two-layer heavy eaves, there are no cornices, cusps and hangs...... These cumbersome ornaments are simply covered with wooden boards, which has a simple and quiet interest of "natural carving".
The structure of the outer roof is simple, but the structure of the beams and columns inside the top layer is relatively complex, with columns, beams, buckets, arches, rafters, melon columns, and lookout boards...... It's all there, but it's built in a way I've never seen before. The pavilion is built on bluestone slabs, and the four corner columns sit on rectangular bluestone blocks, which are, to some extent, "drinking stools" for people to rest.
The outline of the whole "pavilion" presents a very solid and rugged style, which contrasts sharply but complements the elegant green bamboo in the outer ring.
"Everyone, please follow me!" Xiong Daiying led the way, Shen Kuo followed behind, and two boatmen carried boxes to follow him closely.
Li Zhiyi and Hu Shuxiu walked at the end, the two of them looked around, but still felt that it was not enough, looking around, walking and stopping.
The fence made of wooden strips attracted their attention even more.
Hu Shuxiu observed it up close and understood why Brother Shen said it was like a pencil. That's because there is a thinner "core" in the center of each stick, and some of the sticks are more like sharpened pencils, and the "core" is completely protruding.
The two looked at each other, puzzled, just waiting to see Ouyang Feng and ask what was going on.
Xiong Daiying led them to a "wooden wall" and stopped.
Li Zhiyi was curious: Why do you have to hit the "south wall" and not look back?
At this moment, Xiong Daiying gently pushed the wooden wall in front of him open, and the wooden wall turned into a door in the blink of an eye. It turns out that these "wooden walls" are not fixed, but are mounted in slides, which can be moved and rotated.
On the other side of the door is another "pavilion". The two realized that the roofs of the two pavilions were connected, like a pair of twins.
In addition to the living wall that came in, the pavilion at the back is also of the same structure, transparent on three sides.
In the middle of the pavilion is a large wooden cabinet, a wooden table, and several bamboo chairs.
I saw Ouyang Feng and Li Gonglin facing south, lying in the soft bamboo chairs, cooking plum wine while admiring the bamboo sea, the two of them were talking and laughing, so they were at ease.
Li Zhiyi stepped forward quickly from behind, and said angrily: "It's a good uncle, and I come to enjoy it alone, but I don't call me an old friend!"
Li Gonglin turned his head and almost laughed, but said to him behind him: "Brother and sister, I have never seen him in such a hurry with anyone!"
Hu Shuxiu stepped forward and quipped: "Xianggong's appearance is really rare, very fresh!"
"Lady, don't make fun of me!"
Chris on the recliner looked laid-back. She once again put on the mask of her father-in-law and pretended to be Ouyang Feng.
Seeing that Ouyang Feng was still dressed in a strange costume of gray and not gray, black and black, with a short shirt and a long shirt, Li Zhiyi didn't care about correcting his appearance problem, and immediately complained: "Why does Brother Ouyang only invite Bo Shi and Lord Shen, isn't it that the two of us are your friends?"
Chris replied: "As Uncle Duan can see, this garden has not yet been built, and after it is built, I naturally invite you to stay for a while and have a good time." I asked the two of them to ask for some things, to help me plan and come up with ideas. ”
When Hu Shuxiu heard this, he was not happy, and asked rhetorically: "So Ouyang Gongzi thinks that only they can help you, but my wife is useless?"
Shen Kuo gave a look: You offended your brother and sister, you are miserable!
Chris quickly stood up and looked at Hu Shuxiu deeply, "I am speechless! Miss Hu must not take it to heart......
Li Gonglin didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said: "Oh, if you don't show sincerity today and make amends, I'm afraid it will be really bad!"
"......," Chris said, "don't stand and talk, you all sit down first, and let me pour wine to make amends!"
Shen Kuo said: "Put down the things!"
The two boatmen put down their boxes and quickly withdrew.
Chris looked at the big wooden box, looked at Shen Kuo, and said, "The good things that Lord Shen brought to me can only wait and appreciate." Dai Ying, serve wine to everyone!"
In front of a row of bamboo chairs is a small stove with warm plum wine on it. Shen Kuo and Li Zhiyi sat down quickly, and Xiong Daiying made two bowls of warm wine and handed them to them first.
The cool breeze blew gently, first bringing a smell of wine, mixed with a burst of bamboo fragrance.
Li Zhiyi held the wine bowl made of bamboo, looked up at the verdant in front of him, and couldn't help sighing: "Bo Shi, I just saw these few miles of bamboo sea, and I can't walk! The bamboo wind is intoxicating, the bamboo fragrance is refreshing, and the bamboo rhyme forgets people's souls......
Li Gonglin smiled knowingly.
Xiong Daiying also filled himself a bowl, sat straight on the bluestone platform, and drank himself.
Li Zhiyi smelled the fragrance of plums in the wine, swallowed his saliva, and thought: That person is Ouyang Feng's close friend, and he is casual. I am a guest, and the host has not made a toast, so it is not good to lose the courtesy.
Who knew that Shen Kuo had already finished drinking a bowl, stood up and went to the fireside to serve the second bowl by himself. On the other bluestone platform, there were some seasonal fruits and vegetables, and candied fruit, and he also took them and ate them unceremoniously.
Chris saw that Li Zhiyi was gluttonous and couldn't help drinking, and said with a smile: "Uncle Duan, I don't have so many rules and exquisiteness here, such a comfortable place, you should let go of those vulgar etiquette and do it casually." ”
Hearing this, Li Zhiyi nodded. He took a sip of the wine first, but felt that the taste was warm and delicious, and he quenched his thirst, so he immediately drank it all.
The woman was still troubled by her clothes, and her seat was much slower. Hu Shuxiu untied the fox fur cloak, and when Li Zhiyi saw this, she said with concern: "It's windy, why don't you wear it first!"
She wondered, "Do you think it's warmer here than in the house?"
Li Zhiyi said: "That's not a stove for warm wine!"
"There are winds on three sides here, and with such a small stove, that little bit of hot breath has already been blown away. ”
Listening to the conversation between the couple, Chris said in his heart: Miss Hu is really sensitive. She made two bowls of plum wine, personally handed one to Hu Shuxiu, and raised another bowl herself, and said to her and Li Zhiyi, "Drink this bowl of wine first, it can be regarded as making amends for the two of you!"
Several people drank together.
As soon as Hu Shuxiu finished drinking, he stared at Chris.
Chris laughed and said, "This pavilion can be warm in winter and cool in summer." ”
Hu Shuxiu asked: "What ingenious method did Ouyang Gongzi use?"
"There are bluestone slabs on the ground, and there are a lot of copper pipes embedded in them. The workers who repaired the garden once visited a hot spring, so I thought of using a copper pipe to bring hot water and put it under the pavilion to keep warm!"
Chris said in his heart: This should be considered floor heating. I'm going to use this trick in the other rooms, and the heat is much more even than just having a charcoal brazier in the whole room. However, she thought about it again, she used to be most afraid of the cold, but now that she has practiced internal skills, she likes cold and cold places. It seems that this benefit cannot be enjoyed by oneself, and it should only be used to warm others.
She pointed to the floor and said, "If you walk barefoot on it, you can feel the temperature." ”
Li Zhiyi leaned down, touched it with his palm, and exclaimed, "Ah, it's really warm!"
Chris pointed to the "wooden wall" behind them and said, "The wooden wall is alive, when encountering different winds, you can separate the wooden wall along the slide rail and move it to the right position, it can also adjust the angle, not only to block the wind, but also to block the sun, and the temperature in the pavilion can be effectively adjusted." ”
Hu Shuxiu praised: "What a wonderful idea!"
Chris glanced at the ceiling, where hung a wooden ceiling fan with twelve blades, each with a cocked wing at the top. It is different from ordinary ceiling fans, it does not use electricity, and with those adjustable wooden walls, it can drive the ceiling fan with only natural wind power. Sitting under the pavilion in summer is a great thing to enjoy. Right now, the ceiling fan is held in place by a rope and cannot be turned.
Chris said that as long as it is cleverly designed, natural ventilation can save 45 percent of mechanical ventilation and supplement less than 10 percent of thermal radiation a year. In addition, there is a sink under the eaves that connects the two pavilions, and a canopy made of bamboo collects rainwater, which is finally returned to the water storage tank. With its ability to generate energy and a powerful rainwater treatment system, it is the greenest building in the world!
Of course, she didn't say this, because no one in this world can understand it, and no one can understand it.
Li Zhiyi interrupted her train of thought and asked, "Brother Ouyang, your pavilion is too new! I still don't understand something, I ask you for advice!"
"Hehe, Brother Li, please ask!"
"First, it's obviously made of wood, why do you call it 'Stone Pavilion'?"
Chris said: "It's not the 'stone' of the stone, but the 'hour' of the hour." ”
