"I haven't bought paper yet......"

Xu Wen was still thinking about what he was going to do here, but no one could stop what Lu Qingyuan was going to do, so Xu Wen was still pulled away by him.

They left the calligraphy and painting street and returned to the place where Xu Wen and they lived last night, that is, Lu Qingyuan's house.

The courtyard behind the two-entry house was not built into a garden, but a separate house was added.

Lu Qingyuan walked to the door with Xu Wen and pushed the door in.

This is a small workshop, in which several young craftsmen are busy, and when they saw Lu Qingyuan coming back, they straightened up very respectfully and called Master.

Lu Qingyuan nodded to them very casually, pulled Xu Wen and pushed open another door and entered another room.

Walking into this room, Xu Wen was stunned.

It doesn't feel like a place for a master craftsman at all, but like a studio.

The white paper piled up on the ground like a wave, lapping against the walls of the studio, leaving marks on it.

There was paper everywhere, and there were paintings painted on paper everywhere, and Xu Wen walked in, feeling as if he was about to be submerged.

"This is ......," Xu Wen said in confusion and walked over to the wall.

At this time, Lu Qingyuan had already let go of him, walked to the window on the other side, and raised the window sash with a bang.

The clean sky light shines in through the window, creating a straight line in the air and reflecting on the picture hanging over the wall.

Xu Wen read the contents of the painting clearly.

It was a stepping bed, and the begonia pulling step was cool.

There are some similarities with the ones they made in the exam room, but there are more differences.

It is sketched with a fine brush, very clear, and every detail has been meticulously described.

However, unlike the craftsmen's regular drawings, there is no dimension on the side of the picture, as if the author drew it, but simply wanted to depict such a stepping bed.

Xu Wen's gaze shifted and looked to the side.

It's another pull-out bed.

It is very similar to the previous picture, but there are subtle differences that require a snack to see.

Xu Wen took a step back and saw more pictures.

Here, up and down, left and right, on the overlapping paper, all the drawings are drawing on the stepping bed!

There are cool beds, large beds, begonias, and plum blossoms......

Xu Wen hastily estimated that there were more than 100 paintings in front of him alone, not counting the ones piled on the table and on the ground!

"Look at this. ”

Lu Qingyuan walked to the table, picked up a rolled-up painting, and handed it to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen glanced at Lu Qingyuan, lowered his head and slowly opened it.

A new stepping bed appeared in front of him.

Cool bed, begonia, surrounded by begonias in the four seasons, bed eaves relief is the change of begonias.

Again, it has no dimensions, only patterns, but it can be seen that it is completely different from the previous ones.

I can't say whether the lines are more delicate, or the begonias are more elegant, or the lines of the bed legs are softer, but in short, the bed on this painting is better than the ones he has seen before, and of course, it is far more than ......

"How?" Lu Qingyuan stared at Xu Wen and asked with some urgency.

"Very beautiful. Xu asked.

"How about the one made in the second exam?" Lu Qingyuan asked again.

"Not at a level. Xu Wen admitted.

"What do you say?" Lu Qingyuan was not satisfied and wanted a more definite answer.

"This one is so much better than that. Xu asked.

Lu Qingyuan let out a long breath, solemnly took the painting in his hand, and looked at it a little distracted.

"Three years ago, I suddenly became obsessed with the Stepping Bed, and spent two years looking around for a total of 58 different ones, 10 of which were made by the master and 6 of which were of unknown origin. Then, in order to design this begonia stepping bed, I spent a year before and after, drawing 785 drafts, including 742 drafts, 42 completed drafts, and 1 final. ”

The light was floating in the dust, and Lu Qingyuan's voice was floating in the dust, Zhongzheng was peaceful, just narrating, without the slightest regret.

Xu Wen's gaze wandered over the wall.

From the third painting above the table, Lu Qingyuan has already identified the pattern as a begonia.

Then, he kept revising, constantly adjusting, and every flower, every leaf, where they were, their current form, it was obvious that they had been tempered repeatedly.

In one year, 785 drawings were finally formed.

As a result, in the examination room, Xu Wen took the candidates to forcibly revise it, and changed it to be by no means as beautiful and elegant as Lu Qingyuan's final draft, but it was better done.

"I'm sorry. Xu Wen felt a hint of apology.

"No need to apologize, it's my fault. Lu Qingyuan obviously calmed down completely, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The apprenticeship test is related to the future of each of you, since I have taken over the job of the examiner on the spot, I should not be willful and bring my personal preferences over casually." Thankfully, I should apologize to you and thank you. ”

When he is not paranoid, Lu Qingyuan is a very good talker, and his words are very sincere, and they really come from the heart.

"Master Lu, you are right before, the competition in the apprenticeship test is too fierce, and if you can't compete for the top, you will be squeezed down. It would definitely be more beneficial for us to be able to make such a bed in its entirety. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to get it done. ”

Xu Wen's words were also very sincere.

To be honest, at the beginning of that round of exams, Lu Qingyuan forcibly wanted to pull out the bed, and Xu Wen was really dissatisfied.

Lu Qingyuan insisted on making the bed because of his own preferences, and at that time he didn't consider asking them senior brothers, which can be said to be a bit tricky.

But then it officially started to be done, Xu Wen forcibly took the lead, and Lu Qingyuan was very cooperative, what should be done, what should be taught, otherwise it would be impossible for them to do it smoothly.

Xu Wen is very clear that in this era, even his own apprentices and masters have to guard against them, let alone outsiders?

And after they finish a test, almost everyone has learned to make a stepping bed......

People like Lu Qingyuan are really rare.

The little resentment in Xu Wen's heart has long disappeared without a trace.

"I want a young man like you to comfort me...... It's really useless. Lu Qingyuan laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Anyway, I owe you once, and I'll see how to pay it back after the list is released." ”

He waved his hand and told Xu Wen that he could go, as if he had called him, just to hear him admit in person that the design he had drawn was indeed better than the finished product they had made.

Xu Wen walked to the door, suddenly turned around and asked, "Master Lu, will you make this bed again?"

"Why don't you do it?" Lu Qingyuan replied as a matter of course.

He turned his head and looked at Xu Wen, his expression was solemn, and his eyes were clear, "Your method is indeed very good, but after thinking about it, I still think that it is better than mine." ”

Xu Wen stood at the door for a moment, then suddenly ran and knocked on the door of the workshop again, and asked, "Master Lu, ask you something, do you know where Yue Muxuan is?"
