Chapter 422: Pavilion Dream Building

In the carefully crafted manor garden, Chen Jia and Chen Jue have planted colorful flowers, lush green plants, and paved winding paths. But they feel that there is still a lack of a unique resting place, so the idea of ​​building a pavilion quietly sprouted in their minds.

In the afternoon of that day, the sun shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto the grass in the garden, creating patches of mottled light and shadow. Chen Jia and Chen Jue sat on a stone bench in the garden, and the breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of flower fragrance. Chen Jia looked at the reserved open space in the garden, turned to Chen Jue and said, "Husband, look at that place, I think it would be great to build a pavilion. In our spare time, we can drink tea and enjoy the scenery in the pavilion, and in summer we can also enjoy the coolness and escape the heat."

Chen Jue followed Chen Jia's gaze and nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval: "Madam, your idea is exactly what I want. With the pavilion, this garden will be complete. But the style of this pavilion still needs us to consider carefully."

Chen Jia tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I think the style of the pavilion can be more simple and elegant, which fits in with the overall atmosphere of this garden. For example, using a wooden structure with green tiles will give it a natural charm and a sense of the accumulation of time."

Chen Jue stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "My lady, you are right. The wooden structure can indeed complement the natural scenery of the garden. However, in the design of the roof, we can also consider some unique shapes, such as a pointed roof, with smooth lines and beautiful appearance, which is unique from all angles."

Chen Jia's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "My husband, your idea is great! A pavilion with a pointed roof will definitely stand out in the garden. And we can also decorate the edge of the pavilion with some exquisite carvings, such as flower and bird patterns, to add a bit of liveliness."

Chen Jue smiled and nodded, saying, "My lady is thoughtful and considerate. The pillars of the pavilion cannot be sloppy either. We can choose wood with beautiful texture and hard texture, which will be both stable and beautiful. And we may also be able to write some poems on the pillars to add a cultural atmosphere."

Chen Jia clapped her hands and smiled, "Okay, husband. I remember when we traveled to the south of the Yangtze River before, we saw some poems on ancient pavilions. The artistic conception was profound and memorable. We can also choose some of our favorite poems and carve them on the pillars. Every time we sit in the pavilion, we can appreciate the charm of them."

As she spoke, Chen Jia got up and returned to her room, fetched a pen and paper, and began to sketch the pavilion impatiently. Chen Jue followed her, offering suggestions from time to time. As Chen Jia was drawing, she said, "My husband, look at the base of this pavilion. I want to design it into an octagonal shape, so that the space will be more spacious and more ornamental."

Chen Jue studied the sketch carefully and said, "Madam, the octagonal base is really good. And we can build a circle of low fences around the edge of the base, which can be used as decoration and prevent accidental falls, especially when guests come in the future, it will be safer."

Chen Jia nodded and carefully drew Chen Jue's suggestion on the blueprint. Then, she began to draw the layout of the pavilion, saying: "In the middle of the pavilion, we can put a stone table and a few stone benches to make it convenient for us to drink tea and play chess. The shape of the stone table and stone benches can also be designed to be simple and rustic, echoing the overall style of the pavilion."

Chen Jue looked at the blueprint and added, "Madam, we can also set up some wooden chairs around the pavilion for people to rest. Some simple patterns can be carved on the chairs to increase comfort and beauty."

Chen Jia listened and modified the drawings at the same time, and said with satisfaction: "Husband, with your help, the design of this pavilion is becoming more and more perfect. By the way, we also have to consider the greening around the pavilion. What kind of plants should we plant?"

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "I think we can plant some green bamboos around the pavilion. Bamboos are evergreen and upright, and they go well with the simple pavilion, which adds a unique charm. And when the wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, adding a sense of tranquility."

Chen Jia's eyes sparkled as she said, "My husband, this is a great idea! Plant some vines and let them climb along the pillars of the pavilion. When the vines are lush, the whole pavilion will be surrounded by greenery, which is both beautiful and can provide shade."

The two of them worked together to perfect the design of the pavilion. The pavilion on the drawing gradually became clear, and every detail condensed their efforts and expectations.

After the design was completed, Chen Jia and Chen Jue began to study the construction method of the pavilion. Chen Jia said with some concern: "Husband, the construction of this pavilion is not simple, especially the wooden structure, which has very high requirements for wood processing and construction technology. We have to find an experienced craftsman to do it."

Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, my lady. We have some connections in this area. I remember Master Li who helped us build the big tile house before. He has superb craftsmanship and is very experienced in wooden buildings. We can ask him to help."

Chen Jia nodded slightly and said, "That's good. But before construction, we still have to communicate our design ideas in detail with Master Li to make sure he understands our requirements. And the selection of wood is also critical. We need to choose wood of good quality and not easy to deform."

Chen Jue said, "My wife is right. I will arrange for someone to select the right wood to ensure the quality. When Master Li comes, we will discuss the specific construction plan together."

A few days later, Master Li came to the manor. Chen Jia and Chen Jue greeted him warmly and showed him the design drawings. Master Li looked at the drawings carefully, nodded from time to time, and said, "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, the design of your pavilion is very thoughtful, but there are some details that need attention during the construction process. For example, the connection of the wooden structure must use the appropriate mortise and tenon technology to ensure stability."

Chen Jia listened carefully and said, "Master Li, thank you for your patience. We hope that this pavilion will not only be beautiful, but also durable. If you have any suggestions during the construction, please feel free to raise them and we will definitely cooperate."

Master Li smiled and said, "You are too polite, ma'am. Since you two are so attentive, I will do my best to build this pavilion. But it is also very important to dry the wood, otherwise it will easily deform and crack in the future."

Chen Jue said: "Master Li, we have already taken this into consideration. We will select high-quality wood that has been dried to ensure quality."

In the following days, Chen Jia and Chen Jue went to the construction site every day to follow the progress of the pavilion. They communicated with Master Li from time to time and adjusted some details.

When the first pillar was erected, Chen Jia said to Chen Jue excitedly, "Husband, look, the pavilion is finally taking shape. Soon, we will be able to enjoy a leisurely time in the pavilion."

Chen Jue smiled and said, "My wife, all this is thanks to your careful design. When the pavilion is completed, we will hold a party here and invite relatives and friends to enjoy it together."

As the construction progressed, the pavilion gradually took shape. The pavilion had a pointed roof covered with green tiles, beautifully carved pillars, simple stone tables and benches, and was surrounded by green bamboo and vines. Everything was as beautiful as Chen Jia and Chen Jue had imagined.

Finally, the pavilion was built. Chen Jia and Chen Jue sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, looking at this building that embodied their hard work, with a sense of accomplishment in their hearts. Chen Jia leaned on Chen Jue's shoulder and said, "Husband, this pavilion is so beautiful, thanks to our efforts and Master Li's exquisite craftsmanship. We will have many beautiful memories here in the future."

Chen Jue gently hugged Chen Jia and said, "My dear, this is just the beginning of our wonderful life in the garden. In the future, we will create more wonderful things here."

In this tranquil garden, the pavilion has become a paradise for Chen Jia and Chen Jue, witnessing their love and dreams, and carrying their infinite longing for future life.
