Chapter 590: An Inch of Silk and an Inch of Gold
Looking at the smiling faces on the screen, Bai Mu Yugui said with a cold face: "I know what you mean, I will never admit this pattern, in fact, I also have a wood grain gold collection at home, but this craft, my country has indeed lost, what do you think, say it." โ
The procedure was similar to the last time, and Yuki Shiraki probably knew why they called him.
Sure enough, after a fierce and serious discussion, the president finally decided that Yuki Shiraki would lead a group of colleagues to create a relevant group and go to Huaxia to discuss this matter with Lu Zi'an, and it was best to let him teach this craft back to the puppet country, so as to fill the gap in the puppet country's wood grain gold craft in recent years.
For this proposal, Shiraki Yuki could not find a reason to refuse, so after taking over the task, he began to prepare for going to China.
But when Shengliang came to him, Shiraki Yuki didn't think about hiding it from him: "To be honest, this thing can't be done." โ
โโฆโฆ Then you deserve to be so happy, I thought you had some killer feature. โ
"I'm just very interested in wood grain gold, whether it can be done or not, I went on this trip, not only to fulfill the instructions of my boss, but also to complete my own curiosity. Yuki Shiraki was sorting out the materials and discussing related matters with him.
"By the way, I found Huaxia's engagement really interesting, I heard that Pingchuan-jun will get engaged next month, and he is going to return the hotel he originally booked, and try it after Master Lu's practice!" โ
A return gift?
Yuki Shiraki's movements paused, and he turned his head incredulously: "What kind of return gift?"
"Hey, Bai Mu-kun, haven't you finished reading the engagement?" Shengliang turned his notebook over: "We went to a meeting later, and I asked Hirakawa-kun to record it for me." โ
Just as every show has a finale, so does an engagement wedding.
As the finale of this engagement, everyone is full of anticipation.
But unexpectedly, the last dowry was opened, and there was only a stack of documents in the big wooden box.
What documents?
Shen Mange was also very strange, and glanced at Lu Zi'an suspiciously.
Lu Zi'an looked at her with a smile, nodded at her, and motioned for her to take it.
Heavy papers, heavy in the hand.
Holding the folder with one hand, Shen Mange slowly opened it.
The first document, the contract for the purchase of the house.
It is within the North Second Ring Road, not far from her school.
It doesn't seem obvious just by looking at this contract, but if you take into account the housing prices in Beiqi today......
Shen Mange's hands trembled a little.
Calming down, she slowly flipped through the papers below.
This is an application report that ...... Land for construction?
Shen Mange frowned and sped up in confusion.
Complete planning, perfect for all kinds of drawings.
A magnificent design sense beyond modern technology, a half-volume building like a scroll, with a slight upward movement at the end and the words "Temple of Music" written on it.
Music?
Shen Mange looked at Lu Zi'an in surprise, so excited that he couldn't speak: "Zi'an, this is, this is!"
"Yes. Lu Zi'an bowed slightly to confirm her guess, and gently stroked her shoulder with his palm: "If you want, as long as I have it." โ
The fingers pressed slightly, stopping her from talking later.
This matter has not been done yet, he doesn't want to attract too much attention, this heart, just need Manman to feel it.
Although the entire engagement ceremony was full of surprises, what made Shen Mange feel mixed the most was this dowry gift.
With such a wonderful mind and such an operation, Zi'an must have spent a lot of effort.
Thinking of this, Shen Mange also abandoned his shyness, boldly stood on tiptoe and landed a dragonfly kiss on the side of his face: "I also have a return gift." โ
In fact, everyone didn't have much hope for Shen Mange's return gift, after all, in terms of quantity, it was far less grand than Lu Zi'an's.
But when Mr. Zhu reported the names of the return gifts one by one, everyone looked at each other.
Among them, a simple and elegant folding fan surprised everyone.
The craftsmanship of this fan is very exquisite, and it is rare that this fan is made of no known material, which is completely different from paper, giving people a sense of visual extension, especially the mountains and rivers on it, which are thousands of miles away, small and large, giving people an empty and open-minded situation.
The best thing is that this landscape does not look like a painting, but as if it is immersed in the fan.
"This ...... Could it be that ็ผ [kรจ] silk?" "The people present were all famous and surnamed, and those with sharp eyes recognized them on the spot.
Zhang Fengniang's daughter was also shocked and inexplicable, and looked at Shen Mange in surprise: "An inch of silk and an inch of gold, Manman, you ......"
"Hmm. Shen Mange smiled and nodded.
Zhang Fengniang looked at her lovingly with a proud face.
The value of silk is not expensive, but in the mind, which is an art of carving with yarn.
The process of silk is to use raw silk as the warp, various colored cooked silk threads as the weft, and use the method of warp and weft breaking to dig and weave.
It can freely change colors and weave quite complex and delicate patterns, but on the contrary, such a complex process also takes a lot of time to make each small piece.
Suzhou silk painting is also known as the "four great weavings" of China together with Hangzhou silk weaving paintings, Yongchun paper weaving paintings, and Sichuan bamboo curtain paintings.
Among them, the silk has the reputation of "the saint in the weaving", which shows its preciousness.
The insiders who knew something about silk looked at Shen Mange in surprise and asked, "Miss Shen, may I ask, is this your work?"
Shen Mange smiled slightly and nodded calmly: "I studied fashion design, and I am also very interested in various fabrics in China, so I like it very much when I see silk, and I am not afraid of jokes. โ
It means that only this one thing is successful, and if you want to ask the others?
Everyone pondered the meaning of these words, and their eyes couldn't help but wander on the folding fan.
But anyone who knows anything about silk knows that silk is an ancient handicraft art, and this skill is now fully mastered by less than ten masters in China.
On the market, all works related to silk can be sold for millions of dollars with a piece of cloth the size of a palm.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Shen Mange again, at this time, she was standing beside Lu Zi'an with a smile, but she was not hidden by his elegance at all.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized why she was the only one.
Lu Zi'an took the folding fan handed by Shen Mange, and couldn't help but be deeply impressed by the exquisiteness of this craftsmanship.
The most wonderful feature of silk fabric is that it is double-sided.
If double-sided embroidery is the pinnacle of embroidery, then the pattern of different patterns on both sides is an insurmountable achievement of silk.
The front is a landscape, but the reverse side is a calligraphy and painting, smooth, lingering with continuous brushwork swaying freely, it is Wang Xizhi's work, known as the world's first line of books "Lanting Collection Preface".
He couldn't help but unfold it gently, admire it carefully, and couldn't put it down.
"Bang!" Yuki Shiraki froze the picture, zoomed in, looked at the folding fan, and felt that it was a little difficult for him to breathe: "I like this fan too!"
Shengliang smiled: "I like it too, but I feel that it is difficult to get it." โ
After all, Shen Mange can say that she made it for half a year to get this finished product the size of a folding fan.
"Let's go. "Bai Mu Yugui directly fasted in, and the firecrackers in the back rang out in unison.
The hustle and bustle of the Lu family made their pace speed up a lot.
But what they didn't expect was that they were obviously flying directly, but after rushing to Changyan for a short rest, they rushed to Lu's house to visit, but they got a response that Lu Zi'an was not there.
"They must be deliberately setting up checkpoints!" "Shiraki Yuki circled around the hotel: "They are just engaged, where can they go, I'll go again later!"
As a result, for three days, I went back and ate closed-door soup.
It wasn't until three days later that the puppet mission found out with difficulty: it seemed that no one in the Lu family was really at home......
"Where did they go?"
At this time, Lu Zi'an was walking on the campus of Tsinghua University with Lu's father and Lu's mother.
After admiring the way, they sat in the shade of the tree and waited for Shen Mange to get out of class.
"How is it, don't worry, right?" Lu Zi'an bought them water, and said with a smile: "Tsinghua is very good, and the academy where Man Man is even more very good, you can rest assured!"
"Of course, this is Tsinghua. Lu's father couldn't help but be fascinated, standing in place and looking into the distance, he could vaguely see the palace of study: "It's just that your mother has to say that she is not at ease, she just wants to come and see." โ
Lu's mother turned around a lot, and she was really tired, she didn't bother to speak, and drank tons of water.
After Shen Mange got out of class, the family found a place to eat together, and Lu's father and Lu's mother left on the flight that day.
Shen Mange was also a little panicked in his heart, and after sending them away, he was always in a mood.
After returning to school, he reacted and turned his head to stare at Lu Zi'an: "Huh, why are you following me?"
โโฆโฆ Are you driving me away?" Lu Zi'an raised his eyebrows.
"No, I mean, you're not...... ...... so busy" Under his burning gaze, Shen Mange pondered: "Just, I really can't ask for any more leave, and I can't say anything......"
Lu Zi'an smiled at this time, reached out and patted her head: "It's okay, I'll probably be here with you for a while." โ
Is it really possible? He's such a busy man......
But no matter how Shen Mange asked, Lu Zi'an always smiled and didn't say anything.
This made Shen Mange scratch his heart and lungs, and tried his best to do it, and even used the beauty trick, but the damn Lu Zi'an still kept his mouth shut.
It's very angry!
Early the next morning, Shen Mange, who was a little unable to get up, saw Lu Zi'an's face, and immediately became full of anger, and left after washing up.
She was a little depressed until class, and her roommate sat down next to her and asked in a low voice, "Winner in life, what's wrong?"
"It's okay......" Shen Mange opened the book and restrained his emotions: "By the way, what kind of class is this today? I've been too busy these days to read ......."
"Don't you know?" the roommate looked at her in surprise, paused, and smiled evilly: "Ah, I even forgot!"
โโฆโฆ What!?" Shen Mange was furious: She actually sold Guanzi!
"Shhhh โ
It was only then that Shen Mange was surprised to find that this lesson was a little unusual.
