The master and apprentice rarely disagreed, as if they were going to fight, the candidates were a little nervous, and the other examiners and the two invigilators looked at each other and put on a good show.

"The workmanship of Cen Xiaoyi's model is indeed very skillful. First of all, his basic skills are very solid, and he has reached the point of being very skillful. The part carved with one knife will never be cut with two or three knives. This has to be hard work for many years, and now it seems that among the more than 200 candidates, only a dozen can do this. Sun Boran spoke in a calm tone, but said slowly, so that the attention of all the candidates was focused between his words, and they all looked at the model again.

That's a very high evaluation!

Soon they found out that Sun Boran was not wrong at all.

The basic skills of carpenters will be fully reflected in the details of production, and when they first start learning, they must carefully study the finished product of the master, how each of his knives is used, and how every force is used...... Therefore, often, the habits and characteristics of the carpenter will also be integrated into it, which will become the basis for identifying his personal works.

Cen Xiaoyi's style is concise and neat, rarely superfluous, and this can not be completed without strong basic skills.

Xu Wen noticed it at the beginning and was a little surprised.

This style is completely different from Cen Xiaoyi's style of acting, and it takes a lot of time, a lot of sweat, and a lot of boring and repetitive work. It's easy to see that these can't be faked at all.

No wonder he has this kind of self-confidence, get rid of the one or two who are on the spot, and the rest must be himself......

And after looking at his model, Sun Boran, who has never pretended to be a color to Cen Xiaoyi, has a much gentler expression.

An old carpenter's favorite is the hard-working apprentice.

Scheming, willing to work hard, literate, able to deal with people, and good-looking, no wonder he has such ambitions, and he is prepared accordingly.

It's just that......

"In addition to the basic skills, the structure of this model house is correct and reasonable, the courtyard design is consistent with the prototype, and the most ingenious thing is ......" Sun Boran stepped forward and lifted the model upward, specially revealing the wooden structure under the eaves, "These eight finches." ”

"Oh, these eight finches don't seem to be the same as I do. Liu Huzi lifted his eyelids and said listlessly.

"The finch you made is meticulous and vivid, and it is definitely a first-class masterpiece, otherwise, we would not unanimously recognize this as the prototype of this hospital examination. But when I was building the Ink Art Hall in Kyoto, the emperor took the time to come to the construction site, and such an incident happened. ”

Sun Boran talked eloquently, and when he mentioned the emperor, everyone straightened their backs and stood in awe.

The most obvious were the young men standing below, all with red faces, shining eyes, and leaning forward with their bodies, showing great eagerness.

If the apprenticeship test and the 100 work test are a ladder to heaven, Sun Boran is a living model in front of them. As a craftsman, standing in front of the emperor, and being able to talk about what happened in front of them, there is nothing more glorious than this.

"At that time, the ink art hall was newly built, the prototype had been decided, and the details were not rich. You should know that at this time, all the drawings and samples of the Ink Art Palace, including various details, have already been completed, and after layers of confirmation, it has become a foregone conclusion. ”

All the craftsmen, both masters and apprentices, nodded their heads at this time.

Even if it is an ordinary house, it is necessary to complete all the previous processes, not to mention a large building like the imperial palace. This kind of thing, if you haven't eaten pork and seen a pig run away, everyone must know about it.

"All the planning and design of the Moyi Palace, all the drawings and hot stamping samples, all completed by three royal masters and me, a total of four people. The four of us have been craftsmen for more than 200 years combined, so we have a lot of experience. ”

Sun Boran said calmly, and no one thought he was boasting. No, he only talks about experience, in fact, he is already very modest.

Sun Boran became famous at a young age, old and magnificent, and his masterpieces are full of masterpieces, and he is the top master craftsman. Although the other three don't know who they are, which one of them can become a royal craftsman who is not a first-class person?

What they have is not only experience, but also excellent inspiration, aesthetics and superb craftsmanship!

At this time, the examination room was quiet up and down, and everyone knew that it was just a foreshadowing, and there must be something to follow.

"The construction site is naturally chaotic, and when the emperor arrived, he happened to see a small worker drawing on the wooden board. He became intrigued and stopped for a moment. The painting of the small worker is the ink art hall, which is specific and subtle, and very detailed. After a while, the emperor summoned us and asked me to take a closer look at the drawings drawn by the little worker. An hour later, the construction of the Moyi Hall was stopped, and the detailed drawings were drawn according to the drawings of this small workman, and all the parts that had been built in conflict with it were torn down and rebuilt. ”

Sun Boran's tone was gentle, and he seemed to have a faint smile, so that these obedient people didn't react for a while.

After a few breaths, everyone was collectively shocked.

A small worker who overthrew the collective wisdom of four royal craftsmen and allowed a royal palace to be rebuilt?

In an ordinary person's home, this is absolutely impossible to happen, maybe only in the royal family, will there be such courage......

Xu Wen was also surprised, at this time, the corner of his eye suddenly swept to Cen Xiaoyi, he also looked eager, and even a little.

Receiving the emperor's favor in front of everyone's eyes, there is no more story than this that is more in line with his dreams.

"This little worker, is it Lord Wang Yiding Wang, who has just been promoted to the Ministry of Works?" Examiner Lu suddenly asked, and at the same time examiner Xian's voice sounded, "Moyi Palace, is it the strange hall that was just completed at the beginning of this year?"

"Exactly. Sun Boran replied to the two of them in one sentence, and then smiled slightly, "Lord Wang is only a weak champion this year, and his age and qualifications have never represented a person's level, not to mention that this candidate's work, although some modifications have been made on the basis of Master You, but pay attention to it, it has been changed very cleverly, and under addition and subtraction, you should get better scores." ”

Liu Huzi listened and did not speak, touching his chin and falling into deep thought.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at the bookkeeper next to him: "Is my score set, can I change it now?"

In an instant, the expression on Cen Xiaoyi's face cracked, and the color of ecstasy bloomed naked from under the gentle shell, and it took a while to put it away with great difficulty, but it still looked over there with irrepressible longing.

You can modify it until you confirm it. The bookkeeper said loudly. In fact, it's a normal process.

"That's fine. I used to be ninety, right, change it to ninety-five. Liu Huzi patted his ass and stood up, saying very casually.

“...... The total score is six hundred and ninety, divided by seven, and the average score is ninety-eight points five, rounded off, and the final score is ninety-nine!" the little official's voice was loud, and after confirming again, the bookkeeper picked up his pen, and the ink fell on the list drippingly.

Since then, Cen Xiaoyi has surpassed Lin Dou, and the final score has temporarily ranked first!
