Volume 2 Flowers follow the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light! Chapter 60: Reviving the Gongyi Family
The carpenter was naturally reluctant to deal with Tang Ning, and despised this brainless reckless man who only knew how to use brute force to the extreme.
However, how could Tang Ning easily let go of the carpenter, chasing after the carpenter's ass and asking questions, there is a big posture that if you don't take out the Luban lock of the twelve pillars to embarrass me, I won't give up.
Although he was also a little disgusted by Tang Ning's nonsense, after all, he had to ask this carpenter for advice next. But this matter is still between the carpenter and Downing, and his relationship with the carpenter is not good enough to decide for him to stay.
Tang Ning saw that the carpenter always either smiled coldly or sneered at him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he was surprised: "You...... Could it be that the Luban lock with twelve pillars will not be installed? ”
“……”
As we all know, the Luban lock will be unpacked, because as long as the process of installation is reversed, it is the way to unlock the Luban lock.
The person who makes a Luban lock is often much more powerful than the person who unlocks the Luban lock. This is like a math problem, the person who wrote the question must know the knowledge of the problem well, otherwise no one can understand the problem at the half-baked level.
Shen Kuo also set his eyes on the carpenter after Tang Ning asked this question, only to see that the carpenter's face was flushed, his two eyes were round, and he stared at Tang Ning with an annoyed and angry expression.
Tang Ning laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll pretend!" Get me twelve sticks of wood for Luban's locks. ”
Shen Kuo lowered his face and said, "Tang Ning, now is not the time for you to mess around, don't talk nonsense." ”
Tang Ning shook his head and smiled at Shen Kuo: "I'm not messing around, I can really solve it, and I can pretend." I'm in a hurry at your house, so I don't have that patience. Now that I have met this carpenter, I only feel that I have seen it at first sight, and I have deeply reviewed and repented of my reckless behavior in my heart.
I hope you two give me a chance, and I don't have much to lose anyway. ”
Shen Kuohu said suspiciously: "You didn't say big things? Do you really know how to understand? ”
The carpenter also looked at Tang Ning suspiciously, he really didn't believe that this reckless man who only knew how to solve problems with an axe had the wisdom to unlock Luban's lock.
Tang Ning nodded his head twice vigorously, his expression not like a joke.
Shen Kuo and the carpenter glanced at each other and exchanged glances.
The carpenter was a cheerful man, and after making up his mind, he turned around and went to the backyard, and in a short time he returned with twelve sticks of wood in the shape of a 'bang'.
handed over all the twelve wooden strips to Tang Ning, and then hugged his arms with Shen Kuo to watch the play.
Tang Ning glanced at the twelve sticks of wood, and then frowned. Among the wooden strips used in the twelve-pillar Luban lock, it is unique to have a wooden strip. The shape of this wooden strip should look like a 'concave' character flipped 90 degrees to the right on the front.
However, the twelve wooden strips in front of him did not, which just shows that the carpenter did not take apart his broken Luban lock at all and take a good look.
So Tang Ning took out the dagger he carried with him and held it in his hand, ready to rip off one of the wooden sticks.
The carpenter was furious when he saw Tang Ning pulling out the knife, and he was hugged by Shen Kuo's waist, and he was furious, and roared: "What are you going to do!" What are you going to do again! Do you want to cut these sticks? And then talk about bullshit nonsense?
You put the knife away for me, you put the knife away for me! If you dare to wreak havoc in this house, neither of us will want to get out alive today! ”
Tang Ning glanced up at the carpenter, and this glance made the carpenter even more angry.
This look is the same as when his father disliked his stupidity, why did he look at himself like this? Why does he look down on himself?
"Shut up as a layman." Downing's words fell on the carpenter's ears, like the weight of Mount Tai, which made the carpenter's breath suffocate.
The chest burned like a pain, and the stomach was also overturned, and then the throat was sweet, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Mr. Shen, don't stop me and let me kill this thief! He destroyed my father's relics, and I remember that he was too young to care about him. But he has humiliated me so much today, and I will never die with this thief, if there is ......"
"You just swear slowly, if you send it a little longer, I can pretend to be the thirteen pillars." Tang Ning smiled and snatched the freshly installed Luban lock from Shen Kuo's hand and threw it into the carpenter's hand.
The carpenter subconsciously reached out and took it, opened his mouth, but was speechless. Turning the Luban lock over and over in his hand, just now in order to prevent Tang Ning from cheating, he also deliberately kept an eye on it, and made a hidden mark at both ends of the wooden strip. And now, those markers are lying right there.
Licking his lips, the carpenter said abruptly, "This ...... That's what you just did? ”
Tang Ning smiled: "Otherwise? ”
Shen Kuo proudly said to the carpenter: "This is my old Shen's Tang Xiaoyou, a child of the immortal family, you are a mere Luban lock, and it is not difficult for him." ”
Tang Ning looked at Shen Kuo with disdain and admiration in his eyes, this person seemed to have forgotten what he had just said to himself not to go to the door of his house again, such a shameless and extremely cheeky person, he still needs to study hard.
Gong Yi Huan held the Luban lock, and his eyes were a little dull. As soon as his legs went limp, he fell to his knees with a thud.
Having studied carpentry with his father since he was a child, he had a great passion for carpentry, especially when he accidentally learned that his family was the descendant of the legendary Luban, he loved carpentry even more.
But the world is not particularly fair, and what you like to do is not necessarily the best thing to do. Gong Yihuan likes to be a carpenter, but his talent in this area is not very good.
When his cousin and cousin all unlocked the six-pillar Luban lock, he was the only one who scratched his head vigorously at the three-pillar Luban lock.
My father saw that he liked carpentry, but he often sighed that he was stupid. Soon after my mother left, my father died. Before he died, he handed over the twelve-pillar Luban lock to himself, saying when he could unlock this, and when he would call himself a descendant of Luban.
However, the Gongyi family is now a joke in itself, and the deposition of Confucianism by the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has completely forced these people to a dead end.
Dong Zhongshu held a fine wine in one hand and a sharp sword in the other, obedient and incorporated into Confucianism are friends and treat each other with wine. Whoever disobeys is the enemy, and he is greeted with a sword.
Slowly, the public losers who did not want to join Confucianism ended up living in this land as carpenters. Perhaps they still have the skills inherited by Lu Ban in their hands, but to this day, they don't seem to have made much progress.
After listening to Gong Yihuan say these words in a walking dead tone, Tang Ning's heart was also a little uncomfortable. The Song Dynasty was a dynasty in which both academics and science and technology flourished, and as the descendants of the Gongyi family, the days of Gongyi did not look very good.
And if you are wronged, why not just lose the joy of the public? Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, which influenced the world, but it did not receive the slightest attention. His descendants instead used this great invention to print fake Jiaozi, and ended up being beheaded.
Maybe there was someone behind this, but in the final analysis, the rulers of the Song Dynasty didn't pay enough attention to these craftsmen. There is no interest or need to know about their inventions.
Changing the Song Dynasty was a bit difficult for Tang Ning, but it was not difficult to save a public loser.
"Do you want to revive the prestige of your male loser?" Tang Ning suddenly smiled and said to the depressed Gong Huan.
Shen Kuo suddenly became vigilant, with his understanding of Tang Ning, if this fang could say such a thing, something big would definitely happen.
Gong Yihuan raised his head, his eyes were a little dazed, but after a while, he regained focus and landed on Tang Ning's body.
"Heavy ...... Raise? ”
Tang Ning nodded vigorously, stepped forward and helped Gong Huan up and said, "Yes!" Just like during the Warring States Period, there were countless disciples, and all kinds of magical instruments made could become thunderbolts when they entered, and they could nourish the earth like spring dew.
He was treated with courtesy by the emperor and was called a saint by the people. This is what your loser should look like, how about it? Tempted? Do you want to revive the Gongyi family? ”
Shen Kuo was stunned when he heard it, although he didn't know what fooling was, he knew what coaxing was.
Since the Western Han Dynasty, the mainstream of Confucianism has been maintained for more than a thousand years, and at this time, the brain of public loss and deception is hot, just like two children born at the same time, one has become an old man lying on the bed and unable to move, and the other is a child who has obtained the elixir of life and is still in the prime of life.
This is not comparable, what kind of revitalization? Could it be that when the officials are assessed, they have to make a few wooden models first? It's not realistic.
Gong Yihuan squeezed Tang Ning's hand tightly, and Tang Ning also looked at Gong Yihuan with enthusiasm on his face.
"Come on! Let's both join forces! Revive the Gongyi family! Downing said impassionedly.
Gong Yi said excitedly: "Thank you for your kindness!" But a certain family does not have the idea of reviving the Gongyi family! ”
