Chapter 6 Making a Chair

Just as dawn was dawn, the servants had already started to work. Fang Junling was about to go to court at 2 o'clock in the morning. Fang Jun opened his sleepy eyes and stretched his waist on the bed. He protested when his stomach was open. Fang Jun couldn't help but get up to find something to eat. Many days have passed since Shangsi Festival, but because the Shangsi Festival is approaching, the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival have eaten a lot of cold dishes and cold rice these days, but it will be better from today and can be restored to normal.

Slowly the sun stormed out and the whole sky changed color. The stones were formed under the steps of the Green Bamboo Garden. The seven and eight houses were filled with Hu bed tables. There was a small door from the inner room. When you went out, you were in the backyard, with a large pear blossom and banana leaves. There were two small retreats. A gap suddenly opened under the backyard wall, and a clear spring was a sect. It was only about a foot of digging, pouring into the wall, and surrounding the steps to the front yard, circling the bamboo, and circling out from the bamboo, forming the bright scenery of the entire courtyard. The sunlight slowly spilled in from outside the window. I saw Fang Jun lying on the bed, sleeping loudly. Fortunately, it was far away from Fang Xuanling's yard, so there was no need to worry that Lu would pull herself out of the bed, so he could sleep boldly and safely.

There were only Fang Jun and Linglong, the close-fitting girl in the courtyard, but Linglong had already gotten up and cleaned the inside and outside of the courtyard, and quietly pushed open the door with some toiletries. At this time, Fang Jun lying on the bed suddenly turned over and continued to fall asleep. She couldn't help but secretly relieved Linglong, but fortunately she didn't wake up the young master.

I don’t know how long it took, but I seemed to hear some sound from the room. The knock on the door was heard. When the door suddenly opened, Linglong left with a bowl of steaming hot rice balls, and was about a big finger, and was broken by two inches, soaked in a basin. It is advisable to use your hand to squish to the basin to make it extremely thin, and cook them quickly and boil them, which is also called soup cakes.

It feels so good to eat a bowl, Fang Jun couldn't help but fill it up. Although he had already eaten some food in the morning, if there was still something delicious, he wouldn't mind eating more. After all, wasting food is a shame, but the main thing is that Linglong made it very delicious.

After eating so much food, you have to digest it and absorb it anyway. Fang Jun said, "Linglong, accompany the young master out." Fang Jun picked up the paper on Hu's bed. This was the fruit of his labor in the past few days. He pulled Linglong and walked out of the mansion.

-----------------

Walking on Zhuque Street, Fang Jun couldn't help but look around and heard that the east and west cities in Chang'an City were the most prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. However, because in the Tang Dynasty, merchants were regarded as "low-class" and business was not beneficial, it was strictly prohibited for officials to enter the market. In October and December of the second year of Zhenguan, Taizong issued bans many times: "Above the fifth rank, no entry to the market", "No entry to the fifth rank" and "passing the market above the fifth rank" Do you want to find a handicraft workshop? Should you go to the east or west rank, so you can only hope for Linglong.

He led to the four main streets of the east city, crossing the four main streets in the middle of the city into tic-tac-shaped shapes, and divided the entire city into nine rectangles. He came to the front of a shop that was not very beautiful. The two walked into the shop and didn't know what the shop was doing. They saw an old man in a gray robe over fifty years old writing something. He seemed to feel someone coming in and couldn't help but stop writing and look up, because the Cold Food and Qingming Festival had just passed, and the shop had not returned yet.

"Second Young Master, why are you here?" I saw the old man in a robe hurried over. Fang Jun said, "Uncle Fang, this place is really hard to find. If Linglong hadn't accompanied him, he wouldn't have found it."

The old man in the robe said, "Second Young Master, you are a slave. Thanks to the Duke of the Kingdom, I will leave me here as an official. How dare you let the second young master call me Uncle Fang?"

Fang Jun looked at the old man in the robe with a sincere face and said, "Uncle Fang, of course you can bear it. If my father had not had your two sons to protect him, how could he have today's Duke of Wei? You should have been surrounded by children and grandchildren and enjoy the joy of family life, but now you are the only one left. This is our Fang family owes you too much, so you can bear it." Seeing his turbid eyes full of crystal clearness, it seemed to be moved and a little relieved,

Fang Jun said, "Uncle Fang, can you create the objects on these drawings?" He saw that Mr. Fang took the drawings and began to look carefully. Fang Jun couldn't help but feel a little nervous that what he drew was very easy to understand, but he saw Mr. Fang start to frown.

Mr. Fang said, "There are patterns on this one, probably part of Hu's bed. He was dissatisfied with the second son saying that the old slave was born as a craftsman. He was thanked by the prince's love and gave the surname Fang, so the old slave was more familiar with some drawings."

Fang Jun said, "Uncle Fang, I am indeed knowledgeable, but this is really something I imagined by Hu Sou. I think it is more convenient and simple. When I have nothing to do, I can still carry a chair to bask in the sun in the yard. Wouldn't it be beautiful? Look at this picture, I named it the remote chair. Look at its feet, it has a round car rotating legs, the whole shape is relatively wide, the armrests are open to both sides, the lines of the back and armrests are diverse, the curve shape is smooth and round, the four rotating wooden legs at the bottom are tilted from top to bottom out, and the h-shaped foot gear is connected to it, which can swing forward and backward. There is also this backrest chair. You see, the chair is generally square, with a backrest, and the arch is shaped to fit the brain. The shape of the backrest chair is that the backrest has no armrests, and the backrest is not outstretched......"

Unconsciously, Fang Jun had been explaining to Fang Lao in the store for more than an hour, and his mouth was dry, but fortunately he finally explained it clearly, Fang Jun walked out with Linglong, but Linglong, who was following behind, seemed to be worried, and Linglong could not speak along the way. Fang Jun couldn't help but feel a little strange as soon as he turned around, he saw Linglong lowering his head and bumping straight up. "Oh" it seemed like he bumped into a wall, Linglong couldn't help but take a step back and rub his little head.

Fang Jun said: "What's wrong? I'm always absent-minded all the way"?

Seeing Linglong open her mouth and seemingly wanting to say something, but she wants to say something, Fang Jun couldn't help but feel even more strange. After a while, she heard Linglong say quietly: "Young Master, Linglong suddenly remembered that she never had the same appearance as her family in my memory."

Since Fang Jun and Linglong left, Mr. Fang began to call out some craftsmen with superb skills to start making chairs. Although the second young master did not set a deadline for himself, he had to complete it as soon as possible because he discovered a very good business opportunity from it, and it may also be a big investment for the Duke's Mansion.
