When Xu Wen came back to his senses, Lian Linlin was sitting in front of him, and the album had been moved to her, and she was flipping through it with relish.

The sun fell on her hair, shining like a rainbow, and a drop of sweat condensed on the tip of her small nose.

"What are you looking at?" asked Xu.

"Master Hudi, this cabinet. Lian Linlin turned the album to him and introduced it with great interest, "The surrounding area is painted with gold and dragons, and the middle is covered with a string of peony patterns, and in the middle is a double dragon playing with pearl patterns." It's patterned from head to toe, and it looks terribly complicated, but it's not mess......y at all."

Her eyes were very bright, and the enthusiasm seemed to flow out of them.

Xu Wen lowered his head and followed her to look at the picture.

Lian Linlin said in a chattering voice, introducing them very skillfully, and it was easy to hear that it was not the first time she had appreciated these works, but that she had seen them many times before.

And she has a very unique vision, and has her own opinions on the merits of each work, which is very rewarding to listen to.

But listening to it, Xu Wen still lost his mind and looked at the beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

"Is it hot outside?" he asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Even Lin Lin was interrupted by him, but he was not angry, and looked at him in confusion.

"You're all sweating. Xu Wen compared the tip of his nose.

Lian Lin Lin hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his sweat, glanced down, and muttered: "Isn't this tired of helping you pack up your things?

She closed the album and handed it back to Xu Wen.

"Have you read these brochures before?" Xu Wen took and asked.

"From a small age, I saw a big one. Especially after coming here, don't I remember a lot of things? I was still a little stupid, and my father stayed in that room to read these books when he was busy with other things. Lian Linlin smiled and looked at the book in his hand, with nostalgia and strong feelings in his eyes.

"These paintings are so familiar, and looking at them, I am reminded of some things from the past. Later, there were more and more booklets, the old ones remained, and the new ones came in. I figured it out suddenly. ”

She raised her eyes to look at Xu Wen, her expression against the light was a little blurred, but the brisk voice was like a wind chime, clearly entering his heart, "The things in the past are not important at all, people, you should think more about the current and the future!"

Xu Wen didn't speak, just looked at her.

Lian Linlin touched his nose a little weakly: "Am I talking too much......?

"No, that's a good point. I'd love to hear you say. Xu asked.

"Yes, yes? hehe......" Lian Linlin seemed a little surprised, then his cheeks flushed slightly, and he laughed a little embarrassedly.

Xu Wen took the album and walked out with her, and only when he left the shade of the trees, he felt the heat of the sun.

"It's a little hot. Xu Wen raised his hand to cover his eyebrows and looked at the sky.

"Yes, tomorrow you will set off, and be careful not to get hot on the way. Lian Linlin advised.

Xu Wen nodded.

The two chatted for a few words, and the topic returned to the album in Xu Wen's hand.

Xu Wen finally couldn't help but ask the question that he had been puzzled about for a long time: "Who collected the pictures in this album, didn't Master stay in Xiaoheng Village all the time and didn't go out?"

"Oh, I've heard my dad tell me about that. At the earliest, he had this idea himself, traveled north and south, and when he saw what he liked, he wrote it down, and I heard that he offended some people because of this. ”

"Why?"

"There are always people who don't like their things to be looked at by others, and they will think that you don't want to steal my things like this, it's very taboo. ”

"Oh......"

Those people's thoughts may be understandable.

In this era, there is no copyright, and the pattern I worked so hard to design will not be happy if you learn it like this.

"But my father's temperament doesn't take this kind of thing to heart. He doesn't care about others learning from him, and he insists on depicting others. At the beginning, I made a lot of enmity for this, but I also met a few like-minded people. After he came to Xiaoheng Village, those people were still collecting patterns everywhere and regularly sending him a copy every year. Oh, by the way, you went to the test when it was sent last year, so you probably didn't run into it. Lian Linlin said briskly.

Xu Wen suddenly realized.

"It's enviable. If only I were a man. Then I can walk around and see all the works of the masters. Lian Linlin raised his head and stretched out his hand, as if to catch a ray of sunshine.

"Fortunately, Master has collected so many patterns, and it can also allow you to see the styles of different masters. Xu Wen wanted to speak and stopped, and finally could only comfort him like this.

"That's right!" Lian Lin Lin turned his head to look at him, squinting his eyes with a smile, as if there was no haze.

The old wooden yard was so big, and after a few chats, the two of them arrived at the place where Lian Linlin and Qi Xian lived.

Or Xu Wen was waiting outside, Lian Lin Lin went in to get something, and after a while, he came out with a package and handed it to Xu Wen.

"I don't know how long it will take to go out this time, so I made you two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes. The clothes are the new look that Ah Xian told me about the outside, but I didn't do much, so I went to the ready-to-wear store to buy it again. Ah Xian said that Tonghe is a big city, and these things are very easy to buy and will not be lacking. ”

Lian Lin said in a hurry, in addition to clothes, there were some other things in the baggage, all of which were for backup on the way out. She took it out and explained it to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen listened to her crisp voice with a hint of softness, and suddenly there was a hint of sadness that she was about to leave home.

Xu Wen agreed to leave the next day, so the lessons he gave to his disciples in the evening would continue.

Everyone knew that he was going out, and everyone prepared a few things for him, and in the end they were piled up on the table, and it was impossible to take them all.

Compared with last year's pre-exam news, this year's apprentices in the old wood yard are ready for reference.

Those who took the exam last year continue to refer to the prefectural exam, and those who have not taken the exam will work hard from scratch.

Even Tianqing greeted them early in the morning, there were three such opportunities, and if they didn't pass the three times, they would never have a chance again in the future.

These people also include Dongfang Lei.

After he worshipped Xu Wen as his teacher, he cherished this opportunity very much, and worked very hard in the past year, and made rapid progress.

Therefore, even Tianqing also got him a place after asking Xu Wen.

Dongfang Lei was very surprised, there were so many people in the old wood yard, he didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity at all.

He came to the old wooden field for nothing, and he had nothing to give to his master, so he could only say sincerely: "Master don't worry, I will take care of my master." ”

When Lian Tianqing heard it, he was very dissatisfied: "I'm not old enough yet!"

Everyone burst into laughter, candles flickered on the table, and the aftertaste of food was like home.

The next morning, Xu Wen went to the gate of Huangzifang to meet Master Yao and Lu Cheng, and arrived at the entrance of Xiaoheng Village together.

A carriage stopped there, and a man crouched beside the horses, and when he saw them, he quickly stood up and greeted them with courtesy.

"Hello masters, we are the chauffeurs of Yue Muxuan, waiting for you to go to Tonghe Mansion!"
