Heart with glazed tiles

Chapter 3 Mystery
Chu Liuli subconsciously wanted to hold her, but she withdrew her hand after thinking about it.

"Xiao Liuli, you are waiting for me here, waiting for me to come with Senior Brother Feng!" Before coming to the basketball court, Yuan Xiaohui specially dressed up.Fair skin, bright eyes, hot figure.From Chu Liuli's point of view, her best friend is both youthful and energetic, but also has the charm of a mature woman. She looks very attractive.

Staring at Yuan Xiaohui's back, she cheered for her from the bottom of her heart.

Although she also secretly likes Zhang Yifeng, at this moment, she really hopes that Yuan Xiaohui can confess successfully, otherwise, she will be embarrassed under the eyes of everyone.

Ten minutes later, Yuan Xiaohui came back with a sullen face. Zhang Yifeng was not by her side.Obviously, the result she expected did not happen.

Chu Liuli hurried over to greet her, trying to comfort her.However, Yuan Xiaohui was neither sad nor depressed, but complained angrily: "This Zhang Yifeng is too annoying, he even said that she has someone she likes! I think he is just lying to me, I have never heard of him Which girl are you with now!"

Seeing her like this, Chu Liuli was relieved a lot, and deliberately teased her: "You are right, I have never seen Senior Brother Feng with any girl. Is there a possibility that he likes..."

In the middle of speaking, she glanced at Yuan Xiaohui, her eyes twinkling and mischievous.

"Impossible, how could Zhang Yifeng like men?" Yuan Xiaohui was eager to refute, not realizing how loud her voice was.

People passing by all looked at them, Chu Liuli quickly pulled her aside.

With a girlfriend like Yuan Xiaohui, Chu Liuli was very relieved.The situation where little girls cry and need to be comforted basically never happens with them.

Yuan Xiaohui was not discouraged by Zhang Yifeng's refusal. In her opinion, the reason why Zhang Yifeng rejected her was because he didn't know her well enough to see the bright spots in her.

The two came out of school and each took a taxi home.

As soon as Chu Liuli entered the house, she heard a burst of laughter.My mother is cooking in the kitchen, and my father and brother are chatting lively in the study.

"Dad, brother, what are you talking about?" Chu Liuli put on her slippers and went into the study before taking off her coat.

Seeing her younger sister came back, Chu Jingkai turned around and said with a smile: "I was just telling my dad that my master is going to take me to participate in the renovation of the palace. Dad said this is a good thing, it is a good opportunity to learn and exercise. "

"Brother, you are too powerful! You became an apprentice so soon! It seems that Teacher Feng thinks highly of you!" Chu Liuli looked envious.

"That's right, Master is very kind to me! Besides our father, it is Teacher Feng who taught me the most. It is indeed a very good opportunity to participate in the renovation project of the palace. In our business, practice is very important." Chu Jingkai Sincerely.

Seeing that her father was happy, Chu Liuli took the opportunity to hand over the revised thesis in front of him, flattering her and said, "Dad, the fruits of my labor over the past ten days, please advise!"

Chu Zhiwei took the paper with a smile: "You girl, you know how to find time!"

He flipped through a few pages, nodded again and again, but also made some suggestions for revision.After reading it, I handed the thesis to Chu Jingkai and asked him to make some suggestions.

With the guidance of her father and elder brother, Chu Liuli became much more at ease.After dinner, she went to the study to light up the night battle.When the paper is revised, she can submit it.

Chu Liuli likes ancient buildings. In her opinion, colored paintings are the gorgeous "cloak" of ancient buildings.Since she first entered Prince Kung's Mansion, she was attracted by the colorful paintings under the roof.The color painting relics of the Qing Dynasty in Prince Gong’s Mansion span a long time span and are rich in types, including three categories: Hexi color painting, Xuanzi color painting, and Su-style color painting, including ten sub-categories.Chu Liuli not only consulted a large amount of information, but also carefully observed every place with colorful paintings in the palace.

There are Duofuxuan and Le Daotang on Fudi East Road.Duofuxuan in the front yard is the first group of complete courtyard houses in the Ergong Gate on East Road, consisting of the main house, side rooms, platform, east and west wing rooms and other buildings.The Ledao Hall in the backyard is the last private courtyard among the buildings on the East Road. The painted phoenix and seal paintings in the hall have the characteristics of painted paintings in the mid-Qing Dynasty.The buildings on Fudi West Road are more elegant, and the main buildings are Xierfumen, Baoguang Room and Xijinzhai.There are colored paintings under the eaves of the Baoguang Room building. The beams and beams in the house are well preserved with colored paintings in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. , and the gold patterns are all made of real gold.

With the study of the color paintings of Prince Gong's Mansion, Chu Liuli felt more and more that the color paintings of ancient buildings are a broad and profound field, and lamented that such a perfect skill has not received enough attention.At that moment, she had an idea that she wanted to use words and brushes to show the beauty and value of colored paintings of ancient buildings, so she came up with this thesis titled "Research on Ancient Architectural Colored Paintings of Prince Kung's Mansion".

Before going to bed, Guo Yajuan brought her daughter a glass of milk and told her to go to bed early.Chu Liuli agreed to take the cup, kissed her mother on the cheek, and pushed her to the door of the bedroom.

Back in the study, Chu Liuli stretched her body, proofreading her thesis while drinking milk.She suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a book in her father's bookcase, which was dedicated to writing paintings of ancient buildings, so she opened the bookcase to find it.Between the two books at the bottom of the bookcase, she found a wooden box. She took it out and put it under the light for a closer look. She couldn't help but marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of the wooden box.She smelled it lightly, and the wooden box exuded a faint fragrance, as if made of sandalwood.

She had never seen this before, and she was curious to know what was in it.However, the wooden box was locked and she couldn't open it at all.

Chu Liuli was thinking about how to open the wooden box when footsteps came from outside the door.Chu Liuli raised her head in response, and Chu Zhiwei had already opened the door and entered.

"Liu Li, why are you still up so late?" Chu Zhiwei asked with his eyes slightly squinted because of the strong light in the study.

"I'll go to sleep after I revise my thesis, Dad, you go to sleep first." Chu Liuli replied.

While the two were talking, Chu Zhiwei noticed the wooden box on the table, "You child, why did you take this out?" He seemed to cherish the things in the wooden box, and didn't say anything to Chu Liuli, holding The wooden box left.

This move of his made Chu Liuli even more curious.She even started to imagine that it was her father's private money, or a love letter to her first love.

But it's not right, he remembered that his mother said that she and her father were each other's first love.Moreover, there were some twists and turns when they were together.

Chu Zhiwei and Guo Yajuan grew up together as childhood sweethearts, but the Chu family's fortunes fell, Chu Zhiwei did not go to university, and learned carpentry from old craftsmen in the capital.Chu Zhiwei and Guo Yajuan have always had a good relationship, but the Guo family didn't want to marry their college daughter to a small carpenter, so they arranged a marriage for Guo Yajuan.Guo Yajuan escaped from marriage and married Chu Zhiwei behind her parents' backs.Therefore, the Chu and Guo families had no contact for a long time.It wasn't until Chu Jingkai was born that the two elders of the Guo family accepted Chu Zhiwei when they saw their grandson.

From childhood to adulthood, his father was very strict with the two children, but he loved their mother Guo Yajuan very much.No matter how busy he is, he rarely asks his wife to cook, and he does most of the housework.When Chu Jingkai and Chu Liuli got into trouble and were criticized by their father, they would both ask their mother for help.They didn't know it when they were young, and only later did they understand their father's feelings for their mother.To use a common saying, hold it in your hand for fear of falling, hold it in your mouth for fear of melting.

Therefore, Chu Liuli quickly denied the daydream just now. With his father's feelings for his mother, it is impossible to hide his private money, and it is even more impossible to have contact with other women behind his mother's back. So, what is in the wooden box?
