Reiki cannot be copied, but the subject matter can be chosen.

One of the major differences between Sun Boran's early and later works is that in addition to the changes in the style itself, one of the key points is the choice of subject matter.

His works before the age of 30 are often based on folklore and folklore tales, with situational structures, which are usually familiar and popular with the general public.

His works after the age of 30 are often located far away from the temple, and are based on auspicious and mythological elements such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, which are sacred and solemn, but not as down-to-earth as before.

From this point of view, different creative themes need to choose different creative styles, and Sun Boran's changes are also a matter of course.

Liu Huzi was able to teach an apprentice like the young Sun Boran, and he had been living in the streets and alleys, so it was easy to guess what kind of things he liked.

Although Sun Boran is even more colorful in this birthday incident, Liu Huzi seems to be just a disguise, but Xu Wen still decided not to think about those who have and don't, just be honest and do what he has to do.

Birthday gifts, of course, are more important than the preferences of the person who celebrates their birthdays.

Even if the legend says that Sun Boran is extremely disgusted with the style he was most accustomed to when he was young, and feels that it "can't be climbed to the hall of elegance", even if it is rumored that his relationship with his master is very poor, and it is even possible that he has not seen each other for decades after the breakup, he still decided to choose a subject that Liu Huzi might like and go in the direction of folklore.

He always had a very strong feeling that things were not as they were known.

Maybe it's because with the legendary Sun Boran's character, it stands to reason that he won't do some behaviors, which makes him feel a sense of disobedience.

After finding the direction, Xu Wen's progress was very fast.

He was familiar with wood, he was familiar with Lu Cheng, and he was also familiar with Sun Boran - this was something he had been pondering for nearly a year, and even longer if he counted the time he had stagnated in Xu's mansion.

Through Sun Boran when he was young, Xu Wen saw Liu Huzi standing behind him.

He decided what to do first.

Just do the most common and commonly used furniture in ordinary people's homes, which can be seen everywhere in form.

Each piece of furniture has a pattern carved on it, and the subjects chosen are the most common scenes in the streets and alleys – the merchant walking from house to street, the child rolling with the iron ring, and the old lady holding a straw pole selling sugar gourds......

Limited to the size of the mini furniture itself, these drawings cannot be outlined in great detail, Xu Wen mainly uses silhouettes and lines, in the most simple way, together to lay out a very humane street scene.

"Interesting!" Lu Cheng came over to see his progress halfway through, and when he saw those pictures, his eyes lit up.

He pointed to the children who were playing with the hoops and said, "I used to play this when I was a child, and by the way, and I also have a spinning top, I am very good, you can draw one too!"

At this time, Xu Wen had not finished painting, and when he heard Lu Cheng's words, he answered casually, and sure enough, he added another one. It's just a scene of a child flipping over a spinning top and sitting on the ground pumping and answering.

"Hey!" Lu Cheng cried out dissatisfiedly, patting Xu Xu with his hand and asking.

Xu Wen smiled and dodged, suddenly in a trance.

When he was in school, he had a classmate who took a painting art class, and he was already talented and learned very well, and he was very popular in the class. At that time, Xu Wen really seriously envied the skills of others.

As a result, he is now able to draw much better than that classmate......

He just came back to his senses in a flash, and said to Lu Cheng: "I'm just drawing a model, refining it into a drawing for a while, and you can make a picture of it." ”

"Hmm!" This is what was written in the previous planning book, Lu Cheng nodded heavily, staring at these models, and already began to think about what should be done in his mind.

Xu Wen finished drawing the rough design draft, took another piece of paper, and began to draw formal drawings.

Formal drawings are completely different from design drawings, which need to be rational and rigorous, and the dimensions of each part cannot be mistaken. Especially if he is cooperating with Lu Cheng, he needs to do so.

Of course, some things will be lost in the process, but there will also be some new things that will be added, which is exactly what Xu Wen wants to show.

For ten days, the two of them didn't go out at all, Xu Wen drew a picture, and Lu Cheng made a thing.

Master Yao did all the logistics for them, they chose cypress wood in Xia Liumu, and Master Yao helped them contact Yuemuxuan and brought in the best materials. From serving tea and water to eating and dressing, all the idle things didn't worry about them at all.

Lu Cheng had already changed a lot, but now under the influence of Xu Wen, he had a hundred points more focus.

The light shone in through the window, shifting, and the snow-white paper slid through their hands, and pieces of wood were cut, broken down, and carved into fine shapes.

They specially prepared a table for the final finished product, and a piece of delicate and cute mini furniture was placed on it.

One, two...... Five, six...... Nine, ten.

Ten days later, on the day of Liu Huzi's 90th birthday, all ten works were completed.

Qi Zhengze is also very busy these days.

Of course, Qi Kun is not the only one who participated in this apprenticeship test, but this era is not modern, and there is no need to treat apprentices with a bowl of water.

Although this incident was sudden, it was actually a great opportunity for the participating apprentices to show their faces, and Qi Zhengze directly gave this opportunity to his son Qi Kun.

He summoned all the masters of Yue Mu Xuan in Tonghe Mansion, and also called a few from nearby to make suggestions together to see what to let Qi Kun do.

Out of rational considerations, he didn't let the senior master do it for him, but let Qi Kun do it himself.

They were also busy for ten days, and on the day of the birthday banquet, they finally finished the last finishing touches.

"Not bad. ”

Qi Zhengze looked at the final product and nodded with satisfaction.

"Your skills have improved again. He looked at his son and said.

"It's all up to the teachers to teach carefully. Qi Kun clasped his fists and saluted to the surrounding circle of masters.

These masters are actually employees of Yue Mu Xuan, and the boss speaks, of course, he must do his best to take care of Qi Kun, the little young master.

But the boy was hardworking, modest and courteous, and they did like him very much.

"Kun'er's craftsmanship is improving rapidly, I think he has no danger in this government test, and he will be able to pass the test smoothly. A master surnamed Li stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Just passing the test, in my opinion, the head of the mansion may not be without the strength to fight!" another master surnamed Wei laughed.

"With Senior Brother Xu here, I'd better forget it. Qi Kun shook his head unexpectedly.

Senior Brother Xu?

Who?

The masters were puzzled for a while, and several people who were transferred from below had never heard of this name, and only after inquiring did they know that it was last year's county head.

"There is a big difference between the county test and the government test, the county test can be the leader, and the government test may not be able to. A master shook his head and said.

"Xu Wen is indeed strong. Qi Zhengze frowned slightly, and gave Xu Wen a very high evaluation as soon as he opened his mouth, "High talent, good cultivation, and excellent skills." If the exam is serious, Kun'er may not be his opponent. But this time......"

He shook his head and said, "I'm not very optimistic about him." ”
