My nemesis is pregnant, the baby is mine

After what happened to Bai Hao, Shen Mo's life returned to the old nine to five, but if there is any difference, it is that the attitude of Mr. Hong and the apprentice towards him has changed significantly.

A few days after that, Mr. Hong gave Shen Mo an errand to design a stool.

This errand is a business of the Qi family, and it was originally given to Mr. Hong, but because the Qi family has been busy preparing for the appraisal meeting recently, and the time is a bit tight, Mr. Hong pushed the boat along and prepared to let Shen Mo try it.

The previous gamble made Mr. Hong look at Shen Mo differently, and he also wanted to see if Shen Mo had the same ability in design.

For this, Shen Mo readily accepted. It was not difficult for him to design a stool, and he also wished for it to be valued by the Qi family.

After learning about the other party's request from Mr. Hong, Shen Mo found Mr. Hong the next day with a drawn drawing.

The two discussed for a while in the back room of the workshop, then Mr. Hong and Shen Mo came to the front room together and took the remaining waste materials to make samples.

The stools that Mr. Hong asked Shen Mo to design were not complicated Taishi chairs, but simple low stools, a batch of hundreds of stools in total, custom-made by an academy.

The other party's request is very simple, I only hope that it will not be too heavy, and at the same time hope that it can be slightly different from other people's ordinary low stools.Of course, the other party also asked to engrave the name of the college on the low stool.

These requirements seem simple, but in fact it is not easy to meet all the conditions. The most difficult thing to meet is the sentence 'slightly different'.

Hopefully the stools aren't too heavy, they just need to be made of lighter wood.I hope to engrave the name of the academy, which is just one more process.But to be different from ordinary stools is difficult.

The most common things in carpentry are stools and tables, and among them, stools are the most common, such as Taishi chairs, back chairs, long chairs, short chairs, high chairs, and low chairs, almost every household has them, and they are also the first to practice among carpenter apprentices. thing.

Just like this, things that have been pondered by people for countless years, to make something different, there are really not many things that can be refurbished except for tampering with the decoration.

Originally, Mr. Hong didn't hold out any hope. After all, even if he was asked to make this thing, he would probably choose to start with the carving and decoration.

But what Mr. Hong never expected was that Shen Mo did not fall into the cliché. The design drawing submitted by Shen Mo almost completely subverted Mr. Hong's perception of the low stool.

The stool Shen Mo designed is very simple, the surface is the prototype stool surface, which is not much different from other traditional low stools, but the stool has only three legs, it is a three-legged stool.

Three-legged stools are not uncommon, but Shen Mo's three-legged stool is something Hong Lao has never seen before. Shen Mo's stool legs are not ordinary pillars, but two intertwined triangles.

One of the triangles has two feet on the ground, and the other triangle is upside down, supported by only one sharp corner. The structure looks very unique.

When Mr. Hong first saw this structure, he doubted whether these two triangles could support the entire stool surface. Shen Mo's response to this was just to smile.

Shen Mo was silent, Hong Lao went to study the drawing again, and after a closer look, he found that the magic of the stool designed by Shen Mo was not limited to this. In the design drawing Shen Mo gave him, the whole stool did not use a single piece of it. There are only two nails, and there is nothing to glue.

Mr. Hong was a little hard to understand. The two triangles made the legs already made him suspect that the stool would not fall apart easily without nails and glue?

Old Hong couldn't understand, so Shen Mo took him outside and made one for him to see.Objects that actually exist are clearly more convincing than explanations.

In the room, Mr. Hong and the apprentice stood quietly aside. They watched as Shen Mo took a pile of useless scraps to draw lines and compose the picture, and then saw again.

After half a stick of incense, Shen Mo put a stool surface and two triangles made by himself in front of the two of them.

"Are you sure this thing can stand and not fall apart?" Old Hong saw from the beginning to the end, Shen Mo really didn't use a single nail, which made it even more difficult for him to understand.

Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, took three things and started to assemble. The low stool designed by Shen Mo is not a great craftsmanship, it just takes advantage of the characteristic of triangular tension.

Two staggered triangles, the bottom is the feet, the top is inserted into the stool surface, and there are corresponding holes in the bottom of the stool surface. After being installed, as long as the stool surface is stressed, the whole stool will become tighter and tighter, not only will it not fall apart On the contrary, it is stronger than ordinary stools.

Although the stool has not yet been finely planed and waxed, its unique structure is already evident.

Shen Mo assembled the stool and placed it in front of the two of them, "Would you like to try it?"

Mr. Hong and the apprentice looked at each other, and the apprentice reached out to grab the stool.

He was a little worried at first, and when he took it, he used his other hand to support the leg of the stool. He was afraid that the whole stool would fall apart if he moved it, but the stool was not only not falling apart, but was extraordinarily strong. .

"Show me." Mr. Hong snatched it up. He turned it over and studied the tripod frame carefully, then sat on the ground and found that the thing was really stable, his eyes lit up.

"Show me your blueprint again!" Hong Lao said with excitement in his voice. The more he looked at this thing, the more ingenious he found it. If this batch of goods is made and handed over, it will definitely make people's eyes shine.

What's more, this stool is much more economical than the previous stools in terms of materials, and a lot of materials may be saved after a batch of goods.

Mr. Hong took the stool and the blueprint, and went back to the back room without looking back.

The apprentice was stunned for a while when he saw this, but when he realized that his master had already taken away everything, he had no choice but to turn around and pester Shen Mo unwillingly.

Mr. Hong made a decision on the matter the next day, and followed Shen Mo's stool.

After the matter was settled, the workshop became busy. Many people from the workshop who went to the woodyard to build a platform for the appraisal meeting were recruited back, and everyone began to rush to make low stools.

The workshop was extremely busy because of the batch of orders and the preparations for the appraisal meeting. Shen Mo also devoted himself to it, and the work in hand never stopped. When the name post was delivered.

Although Bai Hao was reluctant, but due to the pressure from the Qi family, he obediently sent the name card over.

It was an invitation card with gold letters on a black background. The four sides of the cover were gilded, with the Qi family crest on the top, and two large characters of invitation in the middle.

The content inside is very simple, it simply explains that the Qi family invites people with famous posts to participate in the appraisal meeting and the time when the appraisal meeting will start.

Shen Mo took a look at the famous post and put it away. On the other hand, Bai Hao, who sent out the famous post, was so annoyed that he threw everything that could be dropped in his room.

Seeing Bai Hao's appearance, one of the other two people in the room couldn't help muttering in a low voice, and Bai Hao immediately rushed over and grabbed him by the collar, making a gesture to hit him.

The other person hurriedly rushed up to hold him back, and persuaded him: "Okay, brother, let's figure out what to do now!"

Bai Hao was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. He let go of the collar in his hand, turned around and kicked the leg of the table fiercely, "This matter can't be left alone, I have to get the name card back."

"But everything is like this, how do I get it back? Do you want to steal it?"

"Even if you steal it, you have to steal it back. Master, master and uncle haven't come back yet. Once they come back and find that one copy of the name card is missing, none of us can escape."

"But it's obviously you who lost..." a disciple muttered.

Bai Hao turned his head and stared at him fiercely, until the man shut his mouth, and then he looked away.

The other person came up at this moment, and he gave Bai Hao a mysterious look, "Senior brother, why don't we do this, let's invite the second senior brother out?"

"Do you want to die?" Bai Hao was startled.

Bai Hao is the No. 11 disciple of the Qin School who is currently in charge, and there are ten senior brothers above him. The second senior brother mentioned by another person is his master's second disciple, and he is also the most prestigious disciple of the Qin School now. one.

"Brother, we don't have any other options now. If it continues, everyone will be unlucky. Instead of doing this, it's better to ask the second senior brother to take action. At any rate, get the post back first, otherwise the master, master and uncle will find out when they come back..."

A few days later, in Qi's mansion, Qi Yunshu looked at the blueprint in his hand for a while and then looked at the butler beside him, "Is this the blueprint he handed over?"

Yesterday, Qi Yunshu heard that the low stool was not made by Mr. Hong but designed by Shen Mo, so he asked someone to ask for the blueprint and studied it. Qi Yunshu also had to admit that the design is really exquisite and unique.

It's just about Shen Mo, now it's impossible for Qi Yunshu to just lament that one sentence is interesting, now that he just mentioned Shen Mo, he couldn't help but his nerves tensed up, and a chill came to his heart.

After that, Qi Yunshu didn't take the initiative to contact Shen Mo. He originally wanted to see what Shen Mo meant. If Shen Mo was pretending to be stupid and had other plans, he would definitely come to him when he saw that there was no movement.

But Shen Mofei not only didn't come to the door, nor did he intend to approach him at all, as if he didn't take what happened that night to his heart at all.

Qi Yunshu originally wanted to find out the facts before making a response, but Shen Mo's actions immediately made all his calculations meaningless.

"That's right, young master, if you want to see me go to the workshop and get one?" the butler said, since the two sides are not far away anyway.

"No need." Qi Yunshu's face paled and he stopped immediately, and he realized that he was acting a little anxious after the words came out.

The butler was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Qi Yunshu pretended to be calm, "The time is coming soon, let's focus on the appraisal meeting first."

The housekeeper didn't doubt him, so he didn't say any more.

Next door, in the workshop.

Shen Mo inadvertently learned from the apprentice that Qi Yunshu was going to leave the blueprint of the three-legged stool, he stopped what he was doing, and looked at the apprentice with a little surprise, "And then?"

"Then?" The apprentice shook his head, "Then I don't know, but it seems that the head of the house really cares about you, otherwise he wouldn't ask someone to ask for the blueprint."

Shen Mo declined to comment on this.He thought for a while, then lowered his head to continue the work at hand.

"Really, don't believe it." The apprentice was a little anxious when he saw Shen Mo's disbelief, "You don't think our workshop is next to Qi's house, but the head of the house rarely comes, and after you came, he came several times. "

"He doesn't usually come here?"

"No. Speaking of which, the last time I saw him was several months ago before the gambling incident," said the apprentice.

Qi Yunshu is the head of the Qi family, and the Qi family has a great career. He has been running around on weekdays, and they rarely have the chance to see them.

"No, no, I saw him the other morning, but at that time, his clothes were messy and flustered, as if he was hiding from something." The apprentice scratched his head.

"Morning? When did it happen?" Shen Mo stopped and looked over again.

"It was the morning when you came to work. It was just dawn, and I saw him go in through the back door, but I just woke up at that time, so I don't know if I misread it."
