Chapter 1832 Harvest
Yuwan Island, Ye Yuan’s courtyard.
Ye Yuan helped his grandmother sit on the rocking chair that he had polished for a long time.
He asked while smiling.
"Are you satisfied with this place?"
"Satisfied! I heard from your mom before that you have learned carpentry skills in recent years!
I saw it today and it’s really good!
If you have a good skill, you will never go hungry!"
Grandma smiled and sat on the rocking chair, muttering to herself.
Ye Yuan did not feel the slightest bit of impatience because of the old man's words.
On the contrary, there is a warm feeling rising from the bottom of my heart.
In this way, Grandma and Mother Ye settled down on Yuwan Island.
In the morning, Ye's mother would take her grandmother for a walk on the beach.
At noon, lunch will be prepared for the old and the young.
At night, Ye Yuan accompanied the two old people, chatting in the yard.
After getting familiar with their grandmother, several pets began to act cute and coquettishly in front of the old lady.
Especially the Qiuqiu family.
Originally, Ye Yuan was worried about Caesar because he was young and a mutant beast.
I would accidentally hurt my grandma.
However, after spending a few days together, Ye Yuan made a surprising discovery.
Not only will Caesar not hurt Grandma.
I actually became my grandmother's happy pill.
Now grandma treats Caesar even better than her grandson.
Caesar had to worry about the two old men every day and could hardly close his mouth.
Ye Yuan had not expected that the little guy could be so useful.
Even my mother no longer mentions Blue Island every day.
Instead, he focused on staying by his grandmother's side.
But the good times don't last long.
Ye Yuan accompanied the two old people for a few days.
Received a call from Song Ran.
Song Ran informed Ye Yuan over the phone.
The crew is already in preparation.
Communication with the museum has also been completed.
If Ye Yuan wanted to visit those cultural relics.
Then we have to rush to Beijing in these few days.
Over the course of a few days, Ye Yuan secretly infused the fountain of life.
Grandma's physical aging has been brought under control.
So nothing would happen if Ye Yuan left for a few days.
I told the two old people that I was going to Beijing.
They both gladly accepted it.
. . . . . .
The Palace Museum in Shangjing City.
Established in 1925.
It is a comprehensive museum in China built on the basis of the imperial palaces and collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
It is also the largest ancient culture and art museum in China.
Its collection of cultural relics mainly comes from the old collections of the Qing Dynasty palace.
Ye Yuan is a non-staff member of the crew.
Not only did I enjoy the privilege of viewing antiques up close.
Moreover, with the introduction of the master craftsman, I have a deeper understanding of Chinese antiques.
Especially for wooden furniture from the Song Dynasty.
The master gave him a lot of valuable information.
This was a very helpful reference for Ye Yuan when he later imitated Song and Qing furniture.
Especially under the leadership of the prop master of the crew.
In the afternoon, I visited Mr. Ma’s Guanfu Museum of Classical Art.
You can get a close look at the entire Huanghuali bed inlaid with various treasures.
It was there that I saw some antique furniture that I had only heard of in legends before.
Large red sandalwood painting table with dragon patterns.
This table is unique among the rosewood tables and desks discovered so far, due to its extraordinary width.
It can be called a treasure among rosewood furniture.
Ye Yuan had heard of it in many materials before.
And it was in the manual that Song Guangren gave him.
I have also seen a hand-drawn drawing of this table.
But when he saw the real thing.
I am still shocked by its unique vicissitudes and simple and elegant style.
This is simply not something I can imitate.
No matter how advanced your craftsmanship is, the profoundness of history cannot be imitated.
And this was not what shocked Ye Yuan the most.
When he saw an exquisitely carved seven-story red sandalwood pagoda on display in the museum.
The whole person was in a trance.
The pagoda is entirely made of red sandalwood and is carefully carved.
Its seven-tiered eaves design exudes magnificence and solemnity.
Each eave was carefully painted with gold by the maker, making it dazzling and brilliant.
There, it is like a shining art treasure.
It is said that this exquisitely carved seven-story red sandalwood pagoda.
It was a gift specially made by Emperor Qianlong to celebrate the 80th birthday of Empress Dowager Niohuru.
Because the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism.
The design of the pagoda cleverly incorporated the meaning of the "seven-story pagoda" in Buddhist scriptures.
In Sanskrit, "Futu" is the name for "tower".
In Ye Yuan's eyes, even the dragon bed he had seen before was not as shocking as the tower in front of him.
The entire tower not only displays its profound cultural heritage but also carefully gives it religious significance.
It can be said that for Ye Yuan, this is the real treasure of the museum.
Of course, this is just Ye Yuan’s own opinion.
Compared with other cultural relics, this tower is indeed a bit not heavy enough.
But in Ye Yuan's eyes, this was already the ceiling level for carpenters at that time.
Only then can such exquisite works be created.
This can no longer be described as a simple work.
It can definitely be classified as a work of art.
Even if its material is not rosewood, it is made of ordinary wood.
Its value is also immeasurable.
This is Ye Yuan’s greatest affirmation of him.
Reluctantly, I left Mr. Ma's museum with the prop master.
I don't know why.
Mr. Ma learned that Ye Yuan was very interested in these antique furniture.
He actually gave him a set of picture albums compiled by Mr. Ma himself.
It contains not only detailed introductions and parameters of many precious Song and Qing furniture.
There are also a large number of pictures.
This will be of great help to Ye Yuan when he creates Song and Qing furniture in the future.
Thank you Mr. Ma for seeing me off.
Only then did Ye Yuan get into Song Ran's nanny car.
After getting in the car, Ye Yuan had no time to talk to Song Ran at all.
He directly opened the picture album that Mr. Ma had given him.
A six-poster bed made of huanghuali wood with a “round sky and square earth” pattern.
Late Ming Dynasty.
The bunk bed was the bedding used by ancient people for sleeping, and it was used more in the south than in the north.
This kind of bed has pillars and railings, with tents hung in winter and gauze hung in summer. It is beautiful and practical.
Rosewood door frame table
Mid-Qing Dynasty.
The shelf table is one of the larger types of table furniture.
The Jiaji An is a combination of a table and an desk, with a board placed on top of the table.
It comes in a set of three for easy transport.
Huanghuali kang table.
Late Ming Dynasty.
Kang table is a kind of low table, mostly used on bed or kang.
The sides should be close to the edge of the bed or kang, and placed in the center so that people can sit on both sides.
There are hundreds of introductions like this in the album.
And each piece of furniture is introduced in great detail.
There is not only an introduction about time.
The uses and materials of furniture are also very comprehensive.
So to speak.
This is the most detailed album of Song and Qing furniture that Ye Yuan has obtained so far.
Getting it would make Ye Yuan happier than winning the lottery.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at a picture album?"
As soon as Song Ran saw Ye Yuan get in the car, he stared blankly into the album that Mr. Ma had given him.
I thought there was something wrong with this album.
"I'm just curious. This is the first time I've met Mr. Ma, so why did he give me such a big gift?"
Ye Yuan still hadn't thought it through.
The purpose of Mr. Ma giving him this painting.
If this was a published book, Ye Yuan would not be so curious.
And it is precisely because this album was all hand-drawn and compiled by Mr. Ma.
It is obvious that this is the collection and summary of someone's life.
How could he give such valuable information to someone like me, whom he had only met once?
“I thought it was something else!
Mr. Ma and my father are old friends, and you probably don’t know this?
He also has a very good relationship with Wang Xuehong.
Even though this is the first time you meet.
But I believe he has heard of your name, Ye Yuan.
And based on my understanding of Mr. Ma.
He can give you this picture album.
Who knows, there may be something else that will be asked of you in the future.
So you don’t have to worry about it.”
It would have been better if Song Ran didn't say anything.
After this explanation, Ye Yuan felt even more uneasy.
If it's something that comes handy.
Ye Yuan wouldn't mind helping the other party complete it.
But what if it is something difficult to handle.
I have accepted such an expensive gift from others.
If I refuse again, I will feel really embarrassed.
It seemed as if he could see what Ye Yuan was thinking.
Song Ranqiao smiled and said:
“You don’t have to think too much, this person has a strong sense of propriety.
Even if I need your help in the future, it shouldn't be difficult to handle.
Just keep your mind at ease."
Song Ran patted Ye Yuan on the shoulder to comfort him.
"By the way, you've also seen the dragon bed. How long will it take to build it?"
Song Ran then remembered the real purpose of bringing Ye Yuan here today.
"About a month! I need to think carefully about this album.
Many of my previous carvings are no longer relevant to that era.
After Mr. Ma’s explanation today.
I then realized how wrong I was.”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a wry smile.
I used to think I had reached the master level.
But only today did I realize how outrageous my mistake was.
Take the imitation of the Song Dynasty dragon bed in my home as an example.
I thought it was beautiful at the time, and the carvings on the edge of the bed used many Song Dynasty patterns.
But the style of the dragon bed is from the Qing Dynasty.
This is in the eyes of laymen.
I only saw his majestic beauty.
But if you look at it from the perspective of an expert like Mr. Ma.
What a joke.
A dragon bed from the Qing Dynasty, with patterns from the Song Dynasty.
If it were the Qing Dynasty.
I believe this is a crime punishable by death, right?
Just one day.
Ye Yuan realized his lack of professional knowledge.
But fortunately, my skills are still pretty good.
Even Mr. Ma praised his own wood carvings after seeing them.
Ye Yuan is still proud of this.
Originally, Song Ran wanted Ye Yuan to stay in Shangjing for a few more days before going back.
I can think of my grandmother on the island.
Ye Yuan could only decline Song Ran's kindness.
At the same time, he also rejected Song Ran's idea of going to the island to visit his grandmother.
Although Li Shiyun has already acknowledged the existence of Song Ran.
But her mother and grandmother always treated Li Shiyun as their daughter-in-law.
Suddenly let them know all these things about Ye Yuan.
He was really afraid of angering his grandmother's already unhealthy body.
Song Ran also understood Ye Yuan's concerns.
I could only buy a lot of nutritional supplements for Ye Yuan to take back.
Although Ye Yuan's family is not short of these things.
But after all, it was Song Ran's intention.
Ye Yuan couldn't refuse either.
After sorting out the data collected in a day.
With Song Ran's reluctant farewell, Ye Yuan boarded his private plane.
. . . . . .
Three days after Ye Yuan returned from Shangjing.
Fishing Bay Island.
In the small courtyard of Ye Yuan's house.
"This kid, how come he looks like he's possessed after coming back from Beijing?
How many pieces of furniture have you hit? Why are you still hitting them?"
Grandma sat under the grape trellis, stroking Caesar's soft hair and talking to Ye's mother who was sitting next to him.
“Who knows, but I think this furniture is well made.
It’s even better looking than the antique furniture sold on Old Ye’s antique street!”
Ye's mother looked at her son who was sweating profusely in the sun in the distance with a kind face.
Although I feel a little sad for my son, I am still very happy when I see the exquisite furniture he created from scratch.
A sense of pride arises spontaneously.
"Xiaoyuan has really made progress!
You can just wait and enjoy happiness from now on!"
The grandmother said as she smiled and looked at her children who had suffered for most of their lives.
Deep down, she was really happy for her daughter.
The child has grown up and become successful.
Good days will come for my daughter in the future.
"Don't collapse again, haven't you seen that this kid has lost his way these days?
If you continue to spoil him like this, I, as his mother, will not be able to say anything to him. "
"What? Xiaoyuan has the ability but you won't let me speak?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the giant panda. Have you seen anyone raising one here in Blue Island?
There is also such a large Yuwan Island, which used to be the territory of the entire Yejia Village.
Now look, they are all my grandson’s.
Xiaoyuan is very capable now.
Even the people in Benshan Village praised Xiaoyuan for his ability. "
Grandma doesn't spoil Ye's mother.
If your grandson has abilities, you should praise him. No one can help you in this regard.
“Mom, I’m just worried that he’s too capable.
You don’t know, during the Chinese New Year, even the top guy from Blue Island Uniform came to our house to wish us a happy new year.
Who is that person? Let's not even talk about knowing each other before.
Even meeting someone once is something I dare not even think about.
But now?
People like this come to visit us on their own initiative.
I’m really afraid that one day, Ye Yuan will be involved in something big.”
Speaking of this, Ye's mother said with concern.
"Is there still this?"
Grandma asked in surprise.
"Can I lie to you?
You didn't say it before because you were worried that Yanfang would know about this relationship and take advantage of it to climb up?
You don't know Yanfang, right?"
The Yanfang mentioned by Ye's mother is the name of Ye Yuan's aunt.
"Yanfang is actually not a bad person, she just likes to take advantage of others, so it's better not to let him know.
Otherwise, I really don’t know what kind of joke she could make.
You have right to worry, but I always feel that Xiaoyuan is different from before.
He should be able to distinguish the priorities.
As a mother, you don’t need to worry about anything.
The child should know this.”
Although the grandmother was also a little worried about her grandson's safety.
But he still tried hard to comfort his daughter.
I have to say, how old are the elderly in China?
What they care about most is still their own children.
This is what’s so lovable about Chinese elderly people.
