Chapter 265: A Craftsman Who Can't Read Blueprints
Lin Yi looked back at Bing'er and asked in a voice.
"Li Ran seems to be a little close to Ling'er who is beside Madam, but I don't know if he has this idea." Bing'er has only heard a little bit about it, and doesn't know the details.
"Okay, I have time to ask Fang Yan this question. Also, Fang Yan is always as rigid as a little old man. Even if he has someone he likes, he won't reveal it. When he goes back, ask others if they know.
.They are very old and it’s time to start a family." Lin Yi thought, he had actually had this idea for a long time, but he was always distracted by various things, so now he might as well leave it to Bing'er to deal with it, anyway, she
From now on, he can be regarded as one of the masters of Lin Mansion, so he can take care of this matter.
Bing'er agreed, feeling quite happy in her heart. In the past, she couldn't participate in family affairs. After all, she was an outsider, especially when Lin Yi knew very well that they were acting. Lin Ying had thought about
Some things in the house were left to her to take care of, but Lin Yi never agreed. Now she was finally recognized and became a master of Lin's house.
Although she is snickering in her heart, Binger is quite reserved on the surface.[
"Ah, by the way, Xiao Wu got a bucket of bright yellow paint from somewhere. He said he wanted to paint the music box yellow. Would this violate a taboo?" Bing'er thought of Xiao Wu's speech yesterday evening.
I happily carried a bucket of paint and said that I would start work early this morning.
Lin Yi frowned and thought for a while, "Let's talk to Xiao Wu about changing to another color. Although the emperor won't care, those ministers will definitely cause trouble."
Those people just had enough to eat and just stared at him. They looked for even the slightest fault and had to attack him. I really don’t know where they got the interest from. After so many years, don’t you get tired of it?
"I think you should go talk to her. I can't say anything." Bing'er said naively. Xiao Wu's mood has been very unpredictable recently, fluctuating greatly. Sometimes she is very coquettish, and sometimes she is very sensible. I don't know.
What happened?
"Okay, I'll go find her." Lin Yi stepped out. In fact, he had wanted to talk to his sister for a long time, and this time it was just right. He should use this matter to talk some sense to her, otherwise he would go crazy.
At home, her sister Lin Ying takes care of her and corrects her every word and deed at any time, so it's better, but no one here dares to take care of her. I have always doted on my sister, so it only caused her to swell. Regardless.
No matter what, just want to be happy.
If she continues to be pampered, she will be harmed. Lin Yi has to take action personally.
But when he got near the large music box, he stopped and just looked at the two people arguing in front of him.
"You can't use yellow." Li Zhi pointed to the music box that had just been painted.
He can ignore other things, but this matter is related to the royal rules, so he can't ignore it. Besides, the prince brother and the others just rode to Dingxiang, and now he is the only one left in the camp who can take care of this matter, so
He stood up naturally. As for Lin Yi, the guy who dotes on his sister, he basically ignored it.
"Yellow looks great. Why can't it be used?" Xiao Wu looked at the little prince who was much shorter than her and protested to her with a serious face.
"Yellow is a color reserved for the royal family. Especially this bright yellow, only the emperor and the prince can use it. You can't paint it on the music box." Li Zhi said seriously.
"Why not? After finishing it, just treat it as a royal one." Xiao Wu felt that this was nothing, so why not treat it as if she was brushing it for the prince's brother?
Only for the royal family! Isn’t that great?
Li Zhi suddenly fell silent. It seemed... there was nothing wrong with it! But... he didn't like it!
"Don't you want to play?" Li Zhi racked his brains to think of an idea, how to make her give up that idea?
"I'm going to play. I'll ask the prince's brother for approval when I play." Xiao Wu decided to paint it bright yellow, how could she not consider the royal taboos. It was because Li Chengqian was here that she dared to do this.
"Brother Prince is not always here." Li Zhi frowned, feeling a little troubled.
"If he's not here, I won't play." Xiao Wu said.[
"But this is a gift from Lin Yi to you. How can you transfer it to the prince's brother?"
"Of course I can. Brother Prince loves me so much. Can't I express my gratitude?"
Li Zhi said nothing but pouted in anger.
In his opinion, this is not etiquette, but his knowledge is not good, so he can't find any reason to object to Xiao Wu. Now Li Zhi is envious of those who can quote scriptures with open mouths and silence others.
Literary people.
It seems that he still needs to study hard!
"Xiao Wu, my brother didn't make this just for Li Chengqian to play alone. Besides, if you paint it yellow, every time someone else wants to use it, they have to find the prince first. Isn't that very troublesome? In the future, this amusement park will
It is open to the public, and there are people playing in every facility. However, only this music box is not interested because of its color. Isn't it very pitiful?" Lin Yi saw that Li Zhi couldn't answer, so he came over.
"Yes, but this is a gift from my brother. Wouldn't it be nice if others don't play with it?" Xiao Wu still attaches great importance to her brother's opinion.
"Although it makes sense to say this, as a toy itself, if no one plays with it, doesn't it mean that the gift that brother gave to Xiao Wu is very unpopular? And if no one plays with it for a long time and does not maintain it, this music
The box is easily damaged."
"Well, let's paint it in another color. I like it to be popular." Xiao Wu thought for a while and said.
"Okay, paint it in another color, and then come find brother and let's talk." Lin Yi smiled, Xiao Wu's compromise did not make him give up the idea of having a heart-to-heart talk with his sister.
In fact, some of Xiao Wu's recent behaviors are very bad. She is too free-spirited. Now even her eldest grandson Rong'er and the others don't take the initiative to play with her. This is not a good sign.
"Then...okay." Xiao Wu seemed to have noticed something and responded in a low voice.
"I'll help her, you go ahead and do your work first." Li Zhi puffed out his chest and tried to look elegant.
But he actually just wanted to watch the fun. In his opinion, the two siblings were a bit weird. What was the secret?
Lin Yi went to the workbench and asked people to find the craftsmen. They were invited to work, not to visit the military camp.
The drawings had been drawn a long time ago and he had kept them in his storage ring. But after they were given to the five craftsmen, he was depressed to know that none of them knew how to read the drawings. In their opinion, they were just messy lines.
Lines, of course, are full of mystery.
"What did you do before?" Lin Yi asked strangely. In his opinion, being a craftsman but not being able to read drawings is as absurd as being a general but not being able to read maps.
An old man with a long beard was brought out. He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this old man is a miniature carver. His best skill is to carve a walnut into a small yard or a scene in a corner. This is
Master Wang Hao is a carving master from Luoyang. He is good at carving on soft tofu. He is good at carving Buddha statues, Guanyin and other things. And these two brothers, Hao Yan and Hao Yu, are the most famous in Chang'an City.
A gold jewelry maker, he once helped Master Changsun imitate the prince's music box. The last one is the most powerful, Master Jin Miao can even carve a poem on a grain of rice, which really makes us admire him!"
As the old man spoke, he bowed his hands to Master Jin Miao.
"Then you don't have drawings, how do you usually work?" Lin Yi listened to the expertise of these people and felt that they are quite suitable for making such things. But the problem is that they don't understand the drawings, so they have to do it themselves.
Teaching is such a waste of time.
"Your Majesty, our masters have taught us all our skills step by step. If we carve something later, the guests can just bring us a drawing. We really can't understand this." The old man with a beard pointed to the carving on the table.
drawing.
He could understand the parts painted on it, but the strange symbols and some labels next to them, as well as what looked like figures on the side and back, made him feel a little dizzy.[
Lin Yi shook his head and looked at the five old men in front of him. He felt helpless and had no choice but to teach them in person.
"Look, this is the part I want. This is the shape and size of the left side of the part. This is the right side. This is the perspective view from above. This is..." Lin Yishi said more and more
As he became more and more bored, he found that these people were squinting and frowning, as if they were dealing with a difficult problem. And that Jin Miao actually took a few steps back and looked at the drawings from a distance, but his hands were still on Hao Yu's hands.
on his shoulders to prevent him from blocking his sight.
"Do you...understand?" Lin Yi asked very uncertainly.
"I probably understand, but Your Majesty, how do you determine this size? For example, how long is three centimeters?" Master Jin Miao seemed to be from the south. At least Lin Yi didn't understand what he said. He still had to ask for that.
It would take an old man with a beard to translate it.
Fortunately, Lin also knew that there was no universal unit of measurement among folk craftsmen. They all used their own, so he had already prepared various small tools such as rulers and compasses.
Each person was given a set, but the craftsmen felt as if they had found a treasure. They looked at the measuring tools of various shapes made of this resin, holding only one edge with their fingers, for fear of being damaged.
Lin Yi was very patient and waited for their freshness to wear off, otherwise these people would just listen to what he said and not remember anything.
Seeing that these very old craftsmen finally focused their attention on himself again, Lin Yi began to demonstrate the usage one by one.
Craftsmen all know how to use rulers, and they also use them on a regular basis, but the scale is different from this one. However, this was the first time they saw a ruler for measuring curved surfaces, so they were inevitably surprised. However, as soon as the compass appeared, they threw all these rulers away.
Gone to the back of the head.
Is there such a thing? With a fulcrum and a leg, you can draw such a round shape? How amazing!
These old men began to happily draw circles everywhere. Large and small circles immediately occupied Lin Yi's workbench.
