"The purpose of my invitation to come here today must already be known to you, so I won't beat around the bush. Whoever can fix my things, I am very grateful, and even, if I am satisfied, I will take them directly into the City of Thorns. Shuji did what he said and never broke his word. Someone, bring my stuff over!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Several big men who had been waiting outside for a long time answered the promise, and entered the courtyard with boxes one by one.

"Bang!"

The boxes fell to the ground, and at Shuji's command, the boxes were opened one by one.

A lot of calligraphy and paintings were piled up in boxes at random.

All the painters saw this scene, and their brows furrowed.

When Xiuji asked everyone to come over, he made it clear that it was a batch of precious paintings and calligraphy that he asked everyone to repair, but the scene in front of him was not like that.

Precious things, who is not carefully kept, let alone calligraphy and painting are things that are not easy to preserve.

And these paintings and calligraphy are things that are ready to be repaired, that is to say, there is already damage, and if they are thrown together so casually, wouldn't it be more injured than injured?

The master of the eldest lady of the Xiu family is the oldest of all the dirty Oh Neng, the oldest qualified, and the one with the highest prestige, and talking to Xiuji is naturally the master of the eldest lady of the Xiu family.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little weird, the old gentleman opened his mouth to break the deadlock.

He walked up to Hideji and asked with a smile, "Hideji-sama, this is the batch of calligraphy and painting works you are talking about?"

Xiuji glanced at him and waved his hand: "Don't call me an adult, add me young master." ”

Hearing Xiuji say this, he remembered that Xiuji has a habit of playing games and likes others to call him young master.

Xiuji is already a member of the uncle generation of the eldest lady of the Xiu family.

And the eldest lady of the Xiu family is in her early thirties this year, but Xiuji seems to like this title very much, and often asks people to call herself that.

"This is an old man's negligence, and I hope that Young Master Xiuji will forgive his sins. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

"Young Master Xiuji, these are the calligraphy and painting works you are talking about?"

Hideji affirmed, "Yes, that's it. These paintings and calligraphy are all my beloved things, but I was accidentally injured by a sword. I feel sorry for it, and I can't bear to throw it away, so I want to find someone to fix it. The paper pigments for these paintings and calligraphy are all from the Eastern Collar. I'll go back to the eastern territory to see if I can find a way to repair it, and take these things all the way from Thorn City to Jianchuankou, which is not small, and there are naturally many capable people among them. So I'm going to ask the people below to gather as many people as possible and see if they can fix it. If it doesn't work here, I'll continue to look for it in the core of the Eastern Territory, and if I can't find it, then I can only find a way to gather all the skilled craftsmen in the Eastern Territory and see if I can repair it. But if possible, I don't want to make a big fuss, it's best to be able to keep a low profile and solve the problem, I've always been a low-key person. ”

In a few words, Shuji explained the cause and effect, and also said his plans for the future. Show that you value these things.

"Hehe, I don't have to go anywhere else for Master Xiuji. Although he is not talented, he still has this self-confidence. In this eastern territory, I am afraid that it is one of the best. The so-called repair, in fact, is almost the same, many painters know how to repair, but the old decay is particularly good at this. There are also some people who don't know how to paint, but who know how to repair, according to rumors, the level is very high, but the old decay has never been taken seriously by this statement. This repair of the painting, the repair of the paper is only the most superficial level, as long as attention is enough. And after the repair, the color is touched, which is the most important and the most difficult. Those who don't know how to paint, how can they understand the charm in the painting, how can they know the skills and style of the painter, and what can't be repaired, which is nondescript and full of flaws. And I believe that when it comes to this, all of you here are countless times better than those who can only tinker and don't know how to paint. ”

Shuiji's eyes lit up: "In that case, let's get started." The rooms around this small courtyard have been cleaned. And some necessary things are also ready, if there is any need, you can just mention it, as long as I can repair these paintings, I will be grateful, and I will never break my word. ”

"Then we'll do it. ”

As they spoke, they walked over to a large box, carefully took out the paintings, and observed the damage.

"This is the treasure of Hideji-sama. It must be something very valuable. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's Master Xiuji. ”

"Oh, to Master Shuji, young master. Hehehe. ”

"But Master Xiuji's collection, I'm also looking forward to it. After all, Young Master Xiuji is from Thorn City, what kind of place is Thorn City, there are all immortals there. What kind of person is Young Master Xiuji, the person who came out of the immortals, even if Young Master Xiuji doesn't become an immortal, it is estimated that it is almost the same. This kind of collection of characters is certainly not trivial, in fact, what I hope most about this visit is to be able to enjoy these heirlooms. ”

Everyone opened these treasures of Xiuji with great anticipation.

And then they were all dumbfounded.

"This, this is ......"

There was silence again.

"It's not that these things are bad, it's not that they're worthless, in fact, there are still some values, but they are not as valuable as everyone thinks, they are just ordinary, just a decoration on the wall of an ordinary rich house, and they are not masterpieces. The most important thing is that one-third of these works have some small words at the bottom of the works, which read "Tibetan Wheat Ke".

And this Tibetan wheat guest is the nickname of the master of the eldest lady of the Xiu family.

Speaking of which, this is an anecdote from his youth.

When he was young, his parents died young, his family was poor, and in order to support his younger siblings, he worked as a painter.

Once, he went to work in a rich man's house and painted the corridors of his house.

The rich man then asked him to go to the granary of his house to get some grain as a reward.

He took the grain, and when he found that no one was watching in the granary, he secretly hid some flour in his trousers.

When he left, the rich man said that he had done a good job, that the paint brush was neat and beautiful, and that the patterns that the rich man asked for were even more beautiful than those that the rich man had requested. So the rich man gave him a reward.

When he thanked for the reward, because his pants were too torn, they cracked, and all the white flour spilled out.

It's embarrassing.

The rich man was forgiving, and said nothing. He was also given some more white noodles. Let him be very grateful.

The rich man didn't say anything about it afterwards.

But he took it to heart.

Later, he helped others paint, and because of his outstanding painting skills, he was accepted as an apprentice by a famous master.
