For the Beijing Flavor series, I wanted to write a story about lovers, enemies, and lovers.
Copywriting
Among the ancient architecture families in Beijing, the "Kuaijia, the painter of Longsheng Factory" and the "Leijia, the woodworker of Luban Lei" are well-known rivals in the industry.
The feud between the two families can be traced back to the Qianlong Dynasty. It is said that at that time, because of the design of the Plum Blossom Octagonal Pavilion for Princess Heshuo's Mansion, neither family accepted the other's design and actually got into a fight. In the end, they almost shocked the emperor, and then they stopped.
Just like that, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China and then to modern times, the city of Beijing was renamed from Shuntian Prefecture to Peking and then to Beijing. The vicissitudes of life have changed, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that the two families are still feuding.
Kuai Jingtang, the latest generation heir of Longsheng Factory, a noble young master, the only child in the family, the most common words he heard his father say since he was a child is: Son of a thief, we can't lose to that kid from the Lei family in anything we do.
Lei Cangzhi, the next generation leader of the Luban Lei family, was deep and dignified, the apple of the family's eye. When he was learning how to read, he first recognized the word "enemy", and then learned the name "Kuai Jingtang", and was instilled with the idea of struggle until today.
The two families were at odds with each other, and there was intrigue in the business. They each carefully cultivated their heirs, and both wanted to win another fight in this generation, so that the eight generations of their ancestors could be proud and proud since the Qianlong Dynasty.
It's a pity that none of the elders of the two clans know——
During the day, Kuai Jingtang threw a stack of design drawings and threw them on Lei Cang's chest. He had an arrogant attitude and sneered at people as "shabby stuff." At night, Lei Cang poured a glass of red wine on his fair chest. While the bright red wine was being licked clean, he threatened in his ears, "Shopkeeper Kuai is so fierce at me during the day, why should I do it at night?"
When he was a child, Kuai Jingtang always regarded Lei Cangzhi as his rival, while others were his childhood sweethearts. The two of them fought fiercely and hated each other so much.
But when Kuai Jingtang grew up later, he suddenly discovered that the two of them were like the most common balustrades and brackets in Ming and Qing architecture, growing together since the day they were born.
We live our lives with our hearts in our hearts, arguing with each other, and with our heads on our foreheads, but we can't live without anyone. What do you think this is?
