Chapter 169 The Legend of Thunder 2

You can tell from the performance of the old man that this is an old man who has been severely beaten by society.

"Master Yang, you are too modest!

Modesty is a virtue, but as craftsmen, we must have the spirit of doing our part.

Back then, if Style Lei didn't have this spirit, there would be no Style Thunder. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Master Zhang knows about Style Lei?"

"Hehe, is it difficult to know style mines? There are many records about style mines in ancient books of the Qing Dynasty.

Mr. Liang Sicheng once specially introduced the Xianglei family in the book "Chinese Architecture and Chinese Architects". "

"Really? People in the world really remember the Shishilei family?" Old Yang asked excitedly.

"Of course I remember, in fact, Shizi Lei still has descendants alive.

Just no longer in the profession of craftsman house garden construction design.

Originally, I thought Shi Shi Lei had been lost since then, but Dashan told me that you are the heir of Shi Shi Lei. "

"Master Zhang, I dare not hide it from you, I am not the true heir of Shishilei.

When I was young, I served Zig Lei and learned some skills, but I didn't get started. "

"Have you ever served Style Lei? Did Lei offer color?"

"You know Mr. Ray?"

"Lei Xiancai is the last descendant of Shishilei, and since then, there has been no decent descendant of Shigeri.

Even the descendants of Style Lei sold all the style drawings accumulated by Style Lei over the past 200 years.

I guess, if Lei Jinyu knew about it, she would crawl out and strangle these prodigal sons to death. "Zhang Junping shook his head and sighed.

"Master Zhang, it's not that I speak for Shi Shi Lei's descendants, I had no choice but to sell the style drawings back then.

Ordinary people may not understand, but the artisan family is not just the Lei family.

In the eyes of those people, the style drawings accumulated by eight generations of Style Lei are a piece of fat.

Especially after Style Lei's fall, more people are thinking about it.

At that time, Mr. Lei was hit hard because of the cancellation of the no-offspring and style houses. He used wine as his companion every day and didn't care about world affairs at all.

Style Lei and the others, in order to protect themselves, had to sell most of the style drawings, and then they were able to get away. "Lao Yangtou defended Shi Shilei.

"En!" Zhang Junping nodded.

After the downfall, Style Lei will definitely be missed by others, especially Style Lei who has a large number of blueprints for the construction of the Qing Palace, just like a young child holding a baby and ostentatiously passing through the market.

"Okay! Let's not talk about Style Lei for now, those are things of the past.

Master Yang, no matter whether you enter the door of Style Lei, you know the craft of construction, right? "Zhang Junping looked at Old Yang and asked with a smile.

"Back to Mr. Zhang, I understand construction techniques. Although I have no background in style Lei, I have served Mr. Lei since I was a child. I have served Mr. Lei for more than 30 years until Mr. Lei passed away.

In the beginning, I stole a teacher to learn art, and later, Master Lei often gave me advice when he was not drinking...

Although Master Lei and I do not have the status of mentors and apprentices, we have the reality of mentors and apprentices. Speaking of the construction process, Lao Yang regained his confidence, and even his waist, which had been slightly bowed, straightened up.

Seeing Lao Yang's appearance like this, Zhang Junping nodded.

This is the reaction a great craftsman should have.

"You have served Lei Xiancai for more than 30 years, and he should pass on his skills to you.

You should be familiar with my land. "

"No stranger, it turned out that Master Lei presided over the construction of this place."

"Oh! What a coincidence!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"This place was razed to the ground by a fire, and I plan to rebuild a courtyard house on this land.

I can't make up my mind whether to rebuild it as it is or to redesign the layout.

I don't know, do you have any suggestions? Zhang Junping asked with a smile.

"Master Zhang, I don't know what you plan to use this courtyard house for?"

"Nonsense! Naturally use it to live in! Otherwise, build it and put it there to watch?" Scarface scolded.

"You want to talk too much?" Zhang Junping scolded Scarface, then turned to look at Old Yang and asked, "Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is!

Mr. Zhang, today's society is no longer what it used to be.

If you live, you don't need to build so many houses.

After all, they are not allowed to find maids or servants, nor are they allowed to find more concubines.

So, build too many houses and you won't use them.

The house has been repaired, but it can't be kept empty, and it is easy to attract some bad things, which makes the house uneasy. "Old Yangtou replied respectfully.

"En!" Zhang Junping nodded.

Although what Old Yang said is a bit feudal, but there are too many houses and they are empty, which is really not good.

Not to mention the trouble of cleaning, it is easy to attract snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"If I don't live, plan to use this as a museum? How about some collections?"

"If that's the case, it's best to restore it as it was."

"It was restored to its original appearance, do you have the original drawings?"

"I don't have it in my hand, but I have it in my mind!" Lao Yang said confidently, pointing to his own head.

"Do you have it in your head?" Zhang Junping looked at Old Yang in surprise.

"I was sold to Lei's family since I was a child, and later I was arranged to serve Master Lei.

I followed him and saw many style drawings.

In fact, I have a photographic memory since I was a child, and even Master Lei doesn't know about it. "When it comes to photographic memory, Old Yang is a little proud.

"Have you seen the construction blueprint of Baylor Mansion?" Zhang Junping asked in surprise.

"I've memorized most of the style drawings in Xixiang Lei's collection." Old Yang couldn't hide his pride.

The reason why Old Yangtou said these words to Zhang Junping was also for a purpose.

Seeing that he is over 70 years old, he doesn't have a long time to live.

However, the children in the family are not willing to learn his skills.

Old Yangtou also knew that it wasn't the children's fault, who made craftsmen like him not popular in this age.

However, he was not reconciled to bringing all his abilities to the ground like this.

He knew that the reason why Master Lei instructed him to build crafts was because he didn't want to bring his skills to the ground.

Originally, I heard that the country was going to build Prince Gong's Mansion, but after waiting and waiting, there was still no movement.

It's just that there has been news that it is in preparation.

He didn't know if he could wait until the day when Prince Gong's Mansion was repaired.

Today, Scarface approached him, saying that he wanted to rebuild Baylor Mansion, and Old Yang felt that his chance had come.

People mature.

Not to mention an old man who has a photographic memory since he was a child.

If it were not forced by the times, perhaps, after many years, a new style of the Yang family would emerge.

Old Yang understood very well that the person who can acquire such a large piece of land in this era and intends to build a house for his own use is definitely not an ordinary person.

Therefore, Lao Yangtou has been trying his best to express himself, hoping to impress Zhang Junping.

"Master Yang, since this is the case, let's build this courtyard according to the original layout." Zhang Junping finally made a decision.

Chapter 1 Seventy Style Ray 3

"Master Zhang, don't worry..." Old Yang was just about to make a statement, but Zhang Junping stopped him directly, and said with a smile, "Master Yang, I'm really worried. The four-in, four-out, across-yard and back garden Zhaizi, you can't do such a big project by yourself."

"Master Zhang, in our line of work, of course you won't be alone.

We are not carpenters, and we never run a single gang. "Old Yang quickly explained.

"Well! If I entrust you to build this courtyard house, how many people can you find? How long will it take to build it?" Zhang Junping looked at Old Yang and asked.

"Master Zhang, I'm sorry I can't answer you for now.

I have to go back and contact people. Some old brothers have not been in touch for many years, and I don’t know if they are still alive. "Speaking of this, Lao Yang showed a sad and lonely look on his face.

"Master Yang, whether you can contact someone or not, I can entrust this job to you.

Best if you can get enough people connected.

I will give you the whole courtyard house.

If you can't get in touch, it doesn't matter, I'll find a city construction company to help me build it, and you can be a representative of Party A for me.

Supervise the construction of the entire house on my behalf. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Of course, I'm the one who values ​​fairness the most.

If you help me build the courtyard, I can also do one thing for you. "Zhang Junping added.

"Thank you, Master Zhang appreciates it!

I'd better contact Mr. Zhang first!I'll talk about the rest later. "Lao Yang cupped his hands at Zhang Junping and said.

"Dashan, you arrange for a smarter person to follow Master Yang and help run errands. Wherever Master Yang is going, let him take Master Yang with him." Zhang Junping confessed to Dao Scarface.

"Master Zhang, don't worry, I will let Xiaoman follow Lao Yangtou."

"What old man!" Zhang Junping waved his hand and knocked on the scarred face, and his brain collapsed.

"From now on, I will call you Master Yang! You must learn to respect other artists!"

"Yes, yes! Master Zhang, you are right, old...Master Yang, I will let Xiaoman take good care of Master Yang." Scarface was beaten, not annoyed at all, but rather honored.

"Send Master Yang back first!" Zhang Junping nodded, "If you need anything, you can go directly to the unit to find me."

After Zhang Junping explained, he left the yard with Scarface, locked the door, got on his bicycle, and came to another yard.

Another set of courtyard houses, near Dashilan.

Zhang Junping stood outside and looked at the yard in front of him. From the outside, the yard was well maintained.

It is a pity that the gate of this courtyard is Manzi Gate.

However, if you think about the location of this courtyard house, you can understand it.

The gates of the BJ Courtyard are strictly regulated.

It is divided into six levels from top to bottom, and the highest is naturally the gate of the palace. Just one gate is as big as three rooms, and some are even as big as five rooms.

Zhang Junping's Baylor Mansion in Shichahai used the regulations of the gate of the Wang Mansion.

It's a pity that in the fire that year, the house and the gate were burned down together.

Otherwise, at least it must be a three-bay door.

The second class is the so-called Guangliang gate. Before the Qing Dynasty, only high-ranking officials could build this kind of gate.

The third class is the Golden Pillar Gate. This kind of gate can only be built by officials and eunuchs. It looks similar to the Guangliang Gate, but the depth is smaller.

The fourth class is the barbarian gate. This kind of gate is the gate built by the rich and wealthy merchants.

Dashilan has been a commercial district since the Ming Dynasty established its capital in BJ.

The people living here are all wealthy merchants, so most of the gates here are barbarian gates.

Of course, there are also Ruyi doors.

Ruyi Gate is the fifth-class gate, and it is also the gate used by merchants.
