Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 51
Baisha is sad at dusk, and I feel alone that there are thousands of miles away from home.

I don't know when I became so poetic, maybe it was the "Song History" given to me by Jiang Shan before leaving; however, the greater possibility is her parting kiss.

However, she didn't say anything like asking me to remember to call her.That kiss was also extremely simple.

Liu Chunling didn't book a flight ticket, so she bought me a soft sleeper with a lower berth.I think this is not bad, at least you can see the scenery along the way.

This is probably the farthest road I have traveled in my life. In ancient times, if I wanted to go to Beijing to catch the exam, I didn't know how long it would take.

This "History of the Song Dynasty" has been read for a long time, but there is nothing interesting.Except that the Song Dynasty was the only dynasty that did not lead to national subjugation due to civil strife; there is also Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and claims to be "the emperor of Taoism", but he just can't be the emperor. It's like a heavenly book.

Speaking of Song Huizong, he is really an interesting person. I am afraid that the only thing he left to the world is his "thin gold body" that can make others remember him.If it weren't for Empress Shenzong, I'm afraid he would have really become a great artist.

Putting aside his career as an emperor first, and not mentioning his artistic attainments, just having 38 sons and 42 daughters, I just want to say that this can also be written in history.

Long road, heartless sleep.I occasionally lie down and read a book; sometimes, I sit up and enjoy the scenery.In the end, he just picked up the altar and wrote the talisman, but thought of washing his hands first, so he walked to the bathroom.

As soon as I walked over, a beautiful girl came out of the toilet.With dreadlocks and heavy makeup, this kind of dress is probably like a different kind in my house.Thinking that people in the city really know how to play, I went into the toilet.

After I came out, I began to wash my hands carefully, digging every nail.

"Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

I turned around and found that the girl with dreadlocks hadn't left, but was smoking a cigarette at the link of the carriage.

"No, I'm used to it. If you want to wash it, wash it clean." I turned off the tap, took the cigarette Zhou Peng gave me, and borrowed a fire from the girl with dreadlocks.

"Where are you going?" I asked her.

"BJ, what about you?"

"Same." I'm not the kind of person who likes to strike up a conversation, but it's just too boring, and I really want to talk to someone.

I thought Zhou Peng could come to BJ with me this time, but he said it would take another month, so let me come first.When I was leaving, I told me that the car was super boring, so prepare some books to relieve the boredom.When it was over, he gave me a pack of cigarettes.

"go to school?"

"Work." Both of us were bored and looking for something to say. After taking a few puffs, we felt that the cigarette was not very good. After looking at the name of the cigarette, it turned out to be Zhonghua.I took another puff, pinched it off, turned and walked back to the car.

Now I am familiar with drawing talismans, refining Qi and picking up the brush, all done in one go.After a while, a few groups of symbols are drawn.I don't know if there are many monsters and goblins in the imperial city, I should draw a few more groups.

Just when she was about to write again, the girl with dirty braids came over.

"Well you?"

"Oh, it's nothing, let's draw for fun." I focused my attention on the pen again, and started to concentrate on drawing.

"Aren't you a seasoned Taoist?" Her Northeast dialect sounded a bit like BJ dialect. I didn't answer her, I just concentrated on writing on the paper.

"I've seen my uncle do these things before, but it doesn't look as good as yours. You see that your brush strokes are like magic. Could it be that you have learned calligraphy? It shouldn't be, the position of this brush looks That's not right." She said and sat down opposite me, completely ignoring the eyes of the uncle lying behind her.

After the painting was finished, I said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said, it's just for entertainment."

"If you don't believe me, let me tell you, I'm quite superstitious. I believe that there are many things in this world because I have seen ghosts." I looked at her swearing, and it didn't look like she was lying.Just ask her what's going on.

"My family is from Shenyang, and there are many such legends in my family."

"I have been to Dandong, and I have subdued a ghost, do you believe it?" When I heard her say that she was from Shenyang, I quickly snatched the words away.

"I believe it. You said that the RB devils killed so many of our compatriots over there at that time. Could it not be haunted?" She said, raised one foot, curled it up, and stepped on the bed.

"I said, little girl, can you be more civilized?" The uncle behind me finally couldn't help it anymore, and I covered my mouth with my hand for fear of being discovered by her.

"You'd better sit here with me." I packed up the talisman and moved a seat for her.

"By the way, I completely forgot when I interrupted. Where did I say it?" She looked at me and said.

"Speaking of your family being in Shenyang, there are many legends, but I haven't started talking yet." I said helplessly.

"Yes, yes, let me continue." Her accent suddenly changed to a standard Shenyang dialect, which made me feel confused.

The story is probably an exhibition in the Shenyang Imperial Palace.In other words, the Shenyang Forbidden City was established by Huang Taiji Nurhachi. After the Qing regime moved the capital to BJ, it became the "accompanied capital palace".When she was young, the Forbidden City held an exhibition of Egyptian mummies.

Her father took her to take a look. The mummy was already scary with yellow strips of cloth all over its body, so she kept staring at the mummy for fear that he would fly up and bite her.

Just when she was about to take her father away, suddenly the mummy's head seemed to move.She cried out in fright, and his father hurriedly asked what was going on.At that time, she was still young, and she couldn't explain clearly, so in the end, she took her home in desperation.

"And then?" I asked.

"Later, I developed a fever, and my dad told me that I had a fever."

Her story actually didn't attract me at all, but I didn't tell it out of politeness.

"After chatting for a long time, I still don't know what your name is?" she asked.

"Thirteen, what about you?"

"Li Furong, don't laugh at me, I don't like this name very much." Furong said helplessly, and I hurriedly explained that my name was awkward.

Just like that, she started chatting with me one sentence at a time, and time passed quickly.

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, train k339 entered BJ station.

Outside the window is the capital of our great motherland, and it really is "I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the new ones in the future. I think about the long distance between the world and the earth, and I feel sad and weep."

I don't know if this verse in the textbook is describing BJ, but I just feel it.

"Thirteen, get off the car. Come and play with me if you have time. I work in Sanlitun." After saying that, she took her luggage and walked to the door on the other side.

As soon as I got off the bus, I felt that the temperature was obviously different from that in Harbin. However, it is already mid-October, and there seems to be a hint of chill in the air.

"This way!" Liu Chunling waved to me outside the crowd. I pulled my luggage and dashed out of the dense flow of people and came to her.

"Let's go, my car is parked a little far away, I have to walk for a while." After speaking, he left the platform with my arm on his arm.

To be honest, the scenery around the station is not much different from Harbin.It's just that the place is bigger and there are more people.

I was like a turtle entering the city, looking east and west, Liu Chunling asked me what I was looking at, and I said that I wanted to imprint the scene of entering Beijing for the first time in my mind.

"I found that we Northeast people are also quite poor, and you are one of them." Liu Chunling looked at me charmingly and said.But I didn't know how to answer her. To be honest, I was quite embarrassed.

Liu Chunling first took me to Wangfujing for a stroll, and then came to Xidan after walking. She said that the clothes I wore were too inconsistent with my temperament, and insisted on buying me clothes.I glanced at myself, and I was wearing clothes from a few years ago.It's okay to think about buying clothes, but you must not let her pay for it.

The red envelope given by my fat aunt last time has not been used up yet, and my father also gave me some living expenses, which should be enough.But I was so naive that I flinched a little when I looked at the price tags on the clothes.

"Change, I don't like such high-profile clothes." I pulled Liu Chunling out, "Actually, I don't need to buy any clothes, as long as I have enough to wear. By the way, I am a person who pays attention to connotations. "

"Pull me down, let's go to my wife's house and take a look. You have to wear formal clothes for work." Without waiting for my rebuttal, he directly pulled me into a famous brand suit store.

I have never worn a suit since I grew up. I thought I could only wear it when I got married, but I didn't expect to realize my dream so soon.

"Ten hundred thousand." I looked at the price tag and cursed the evil capitalism in my heart.

"Don't worry about the money, the suit is the work clothes that the company gave you." Liu Chunling looked at me with a sad face and said.

"That's so embarrassing, this thing is too expensive."

"Try it if you like it. I told you, it will be on the company's head."

When she came out of the fitting room, Liu Chunling's eyes seemed to emit a light.He hurriedly dragged me to the dressing mirror, looking at myself in front of me, it seemed that I was no longer that immature student.

"Sir, raise your arm a little to see if you feel any discomfort. Our family can also customize suits. What style do you want to choose? Our family is divided according to the occasion, number of pieces, buttons, styles, etc. Yes. The suit you are wearing is more suitable for business, and the material is soft."

The clerk said a lot of things, but I didn't take it seriously. I turned to Liu Chunling and said, that's it, I like black.

"Then do you want to choose a tie? Our ties are all imported from Italy." I whispered to Liu Chunling, hurry up and pay and let's go, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out for a while.

I don't question the clerk's professionalism at all, but she said a bunch of professional terms that I didn't understand, which made it really embarrassing.

"Okay, it's fine if you like it. Don't take it off for now. Just now, my eldest sister called and said she wanted me to go back. It just so happens that you can also go through the entry procedures." I nodded and followed her to the cashier at the door.

"Your husband has really good taste. This suit not only shows off your figure, but also..."

I took Liu Chunling's hand and quickly escaped from the suit shop.

I thought Changping was not that far away, but I didn't expect to drive for nearly two more points.I was upset by the traffic jam, and if I get confused in the future, I must never buy a car.

In the car, Liu Chunling was beside me and told me some general information about the company.Probably responsible for geotechnical engineering surveys and structural evaluations across the country.

I heard her talk about some things that I hadn't been exposed to before, and I was a little bit guilty, what if I failed her expectations.

"Don't worry. In fact, many college students don't know what they want to do after they graduate and enter the company. Take your time and don't worry." Liu Chunling seemed to see through my heart right away.

"I know. By the way, why did your company build in that poor place of my house." Before I could finish speaking, she came up and covered my mouth, and then whispered in my ear:

"Let's talk when we go back," then he winked at me and at the driver.

Could it be?What she told me just now was just for others to hear?There must be something going on here.

I thought carefully about Liu Chunling's words, and indeed there were many contradictions in her words.So, he cooperated with her in acting.

"This is our company, and we still have a warehouse, but it's not here, it's in Yanqing."

Looking in the direction of Liu Chunling's finger, this building seems to be newly built. I wanted to count how many floors, but I suddenly thought of a story about counting floors that Uncle Guo told me, so I hurriedly put away the number of floors. idea.

"The fifth to ninth floors are all ours. The first floor is the gym and catering. We usually go downstairs to deal with food. You are so thin, you should exercise. How about I pay you to get a card for you?" After she finished speaking, she squeezed my arm.

"I think my body is good enough now, I'm a bit disgusted with Gada flesh." I said awkwardly.The car pulled into the parking lot.

The sixth floor is mainly where the front desk receptionist and the salesperson are located. It seems that it should be the place where I will often stay in the future.

"You don't work here, don't look at it, let's go straight to the eighth floor, where is the personnel department." After speaking, he dragged me to the elevator again.

While waiting for the elevator, I realized that everyone was wearing suits.The younger sister at the front desk is also very cute.

"Sister Xu, please register him. This is our new colleague, Zhong Shisan, no, what's your real name?"

"My name is Zhong Bangjun, but I rarely use it, except for signing." After speaking, Sister Xu handed over the contract in her hand.

This sister Xu is about 40 years old, with a slightly fatter figure, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and not very talkative.

I also tactfully filled out the form with my head down, not to disturb her.

"Okay, Manager Liu introduced you, so I won't say anything more, how long will you be doing the internship?" She adjusted her glasses and said flatly.

"About six months, and then I have to go back to school to write my thesis."

"Oh, then it will be one month's internship salary, and the rest will be paid as normal. The first month is [-], and then it will be converted to [-], and there will be no commission. But there will be subsidies, irregular overtime, and overtime pay. Our company can't cover it. Food is included and there are only five insurances, but if you have the ability to sit in management, you can change the contract. Okay, do you have any questions?"

Listening to her non-stop talking, I was really afraid that I would take another breath before I could take it up.

"No, no more. I'll do my best."

"You don't need to tell me that. Manager Liu brought you here. We didn't say anything." Her tone was still very flat.

I don't know if she has something to say, but in short, she has settled down.
