499 Fooling around?

At this time, of course, there is more than one person who is so busy.

At this time, a convoy was heading towards the Western Desert, and a middle-aged man was sitting in the car, holding a stone, squinting his eyes, and engrossed in carving.

It was a good carriage, two horse-drawn carriages, and the carriage was smooth.

But in this era, the road conditions are like this, and the vehicle tries its best to absorb shock, and the effect is actually very average after all.

This kind of environment that vibrates all the time is not suitable for carving, which requires such stable work.

But middle-aged people are still doing it.

His body was shaking slightly, but his hands were extremely stable. He was carving a yellow warbler standing in the shade of a willow tree, using the most common bluestone.

Bluestone is rough and hard and brittle, most of the time it is rough carving, and it is rare to see fine carving works.

But the middle-aged man's willow yellow warbler is so detailed that it is almost comparable to wood carving.

Each of its feathers is clear and detailed, almost even the feathers on the feathers can be seen, and the willow leaves on the body can also be seen the petiole leaf veins, as well as a natural smart flow state, as if you can feel the wind blowing between the leaves, and the breath of spring that soaks in.

If it weren't for what he was doing, it would be hard to imagine that this yellow warbler was carved in such an environment. And the material that carved it is not a famous stone such as yellow wax jade, but just the most ordinary bluestone.

There was also a person in the carriage, a teenager, who looked like this middle-aged man's apprentice.

He watched Master's movements closely, his fingers gently slicing through the seams of his trousers, as if he were following an imitation.

However, the more he imitated, the more he could feel the subtlety of this technique, and the more he wanted to praise it.

So he smiled all over his face, tried to dance and suppressed it for fear of disturbing the other party, and the whole person became very distorted and weird.

It wasn't until the carriage arrived at the post station that he breathed a sigh of relief and moved his already stiff body.

The middle-aged man also raised his head at this time, patted the lime on his hand, carefully put away the tools first, and then put the stone carving yellow warbler into the box casually, as if this unimaginable boutique was just something he used to practice, and it was not worth anything at all.

His apprentice was different, he carefully put the box into the mezzanine of the carriage before he got out of the carriage with his master.

At this time, the middle-aged man had already strode to the outside of the post station, and a person was waiting there and sent him a letterbox.

The middle-aged man opened the letter box, pulled out the letter inside, and hurriedly swept it. Then he frowned and asked, "Who is this Xu Wen? Why have I never heard of it?"

"It is the leader of this year's apprenticeship test on Jiangnan Road. Three consecutive leaders, all the way through the customs without dispute, attracted much attention. "The person who sent the letter had apparently known the inside story before he came.

"Apprenticeship Test? Apprenticeship Attempt? That's funny. No matter how much attention is noticed, that is, an apprentice who has just graduated from the school, this kind of person can also compete for such a big thing? nonsense!" The middle-aged man's face sank, and he bluntly rebuked, "The Ximo Palace is a great opportunity for the Inner Pavilion! If you win the opportunity to build the Ximo Palace, you will be able to fully display the superhuman place of the Inner Pavilion, and at least you can strive to be on an equal footing with the Jingying Mansion!"

He took a breath, his face became even heavier, and he said extremely unhappily, "Even if you don't compete with the Jingying Mansion, there is still a Ziyi Mansion behind you." Thinking that they came from the people, they could just let it go and ignore it? They are waiting for this opportunity to compete for a seat!"

He was really angry, and he didn't suppress his voice at all, and the person who sent the letter hurriedly shushed twice, and soothed: "Isn't there still you? ”

"So what?" the middle-aged man took a deep breath and calmed down a little, "The Jingying Mansion has a deep heritage, the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger, and the Ziyi Gongshu has contacted all the craftsmen in the world, one out of ten thousand, and there are also top people. How can I be insured by myself? What do you think?"

"This is the arrangement of Lord Yan Jiyan. The messenger said.

"Huh?" the middle-aged man stopped talking, and asked after a while, "He's also in the Western Desert now?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay...... When I get there, ask him. ”

The middle-aged man groaned for a long time, shook his hand, and walked into the post station.

Around this time, Xu Wen's name was mentioned by many people.

There are a total of five people competing for the chief official of the Western Desert Palace this time, Xu Wen is one of them, and the other four are one from the Inner Pavilion, one from the Ziyi Mansion, and two from the Jingying Mansion, representing the artisan forces in different directions.

As Yan Ji said before, this palace is very important, and the money and power involved are very huge.

It stands to reason that with Xu Wen's current age and identity, it is really a bit unqualified to participate in such a competition.

It stands to reason that the Moon Age Team has been prepared for this matter since it was formed. The Inner Pavilion should also have arranged another person who is eligible to compete for the Moon Age Team and take them to compete for this spot together.

But now, the Yueling team does not participate in the competition, and the qualified person has never shown up from beginning to end, and it has become Xu Wen to participate in the competition with a team of Nanyue craftsmen who are scattered and have nothing to do with him.

This thing is really a bit weird, but Yan Ji's meaning is the meaning of the high-level of the Inner Pavilion, they really want to leave it alone and completely hand over this matter to Xu Wen?

After that, Xu Wen didn't understand it a little, let alone other people who hadn't even heard his name.

I heard that the second person to participate in the election of the Inner Pavilion was a person named Xu Wen, who was not yet the year of the weak crown, and just passed the apprenticeship test, everyone was stunned.

The apprenticeship test is indeed a very difficult exam, but it is also an apprentice who holds up the test, and the leader of the three companies is an excellent young craftsman, and the real top craftsman needs a lot of experience and vision to accumulate together!

Xu Wen is no longer qualified at this age alone!

This young man has a different background, and the Inner Pavilion wants to use this opportunity to support him on the throne?

This is a very common thing, and it is normal to have such associations.

However, for such a major event as the Western Desert Palace, those who will compete must be the best choice and extremely powerful figures.

Use this kind of thing to praise people, I'm afraid that I won't show my ugliness in public and smash people in the mud!

Except for the middle-aged man from the Inner Pavilion, the one from the Azusui Mansion and one of the craftsmen sent by the Jingying Mansion all thought so.

Only another person invited by Jingying Mansion widened his eyes in slight surprise when he heard this name.

"Xu Wen? Xu Wen from Jiangnan Road?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, he was stunned again, and then laughed.

"Neiwu Pavilion is so bold, it really dares to open a precedent for all people! Interesting, it even arranged Xu Wen to compete, it seems that there is a good show to watch this time. ”

"Master Zhu, you also agreed to run for election. ”

"Isn't it more interesting? Compete on the same stage, put your own skills and principles in front of everyone, and teach everyone to judge them! Fair and fair!"

Zhu Gantang laughed and put the teacup back on the table.

"It's so funny that Xu Wen was arranged!" he repeated.

"Reason?" the slender artisan figure next to him frowned, noticing the two words in his words.
