Chapter 111: Offended

More than 30 looms have been laid out on the base map, and two weavers in front of each loom have begun to weave brocade. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today, Mei Ji Workshop has been selected to be shortlisted in advance, and the remaining two places still need to be screened by the directors of the Jinya Academy on the spot.

Although Jiang Li was invited to participate in the appraisal, he thought that he had not studied brocade making for a long time and his skills were not perfect, so he made up his mind to see more and talk less, and only learn without making mistakes.

Looking at the looms one by one, except for Mei Ji, the samples placed in front of each loom are a picture of flowers, birds, insects and fish drawn by Qin Yuanhua.

Half of Jiang Li's mind was on the base map made of silk cloth on the loom, and half of it was still in Qin Yuanhua's words just now.

She was thinking, aside from whether there was any other purpose for Dayan to organize a folk group to come to the capital to learn brocade making this time, just based on Qin Yuanhua's words just now, he insisted on handing over the task of teaching brocade-making skills to Mei Ji, plus there were dozens of boxes of property last time, and the envoy of Dayan and Qin Yuanhua obviously came to Mei Ji.

While considering the current situation, Jiang Li patiently watched people weave brocade.

Several directors of the Jinaya Courtyard surrounded Qin Yuanhua and Dayan people in front of them, few people weave brocade, but many people say some flattering words to the flowers and birds placed on the loom.

Jiang Li frowned secretly when he heard this. I originally thought that I was not good at learning and art as a judge, and I still had some lack of confidence, but I thought that compared with these people who can only slap horses in the Brocade Academy, I can still weave brocade with my own hands. Especially a layman like Qin Yuanhua can be the chief judge, and he really doesn't need to be arrogant.

With such thoughts, Jiang Li looked at it more seriously than a group of people in Jinyayuan. She gradually fell behind alone, intently observing how others weaved brocade.

The same silk is presented on different looms by the hands of different craftsmen, and each one appears to be very different in style.

For the same pictures of flowers, birds, insects and fish, some people use dozens of colors of silk threads to weave on the loom in advance before weaving brocade, and some people only use one color of thread to divide the warp and weft knotted ropes.

And some craftsmen are different from others, a picture is directly divided into warp and weft with two kinds of cotton silk on the spot, that is, there is no color thread to compose the picture next to the loom in advance, and there is no knot rope in advance.

Usually at such a loom, Jiang Li always has to stay longer.

Based on the experience she learned from Jiang Gan, the craftsmen who can do the same as Jiang Gan without composing the knotted rope in advance are different from ordinary craftsmen in their brocade making skills, or this kind of people have a set of secret brocade making skills.

Jiang Li stopped behind a gray-clothed male craftsman, and watched him use a pair of big hands with protruding green tendons to pick flowers with various colored silk threads, his gray hair was a little messy on his cheeks, and the expression on his face was highly focused and meticulous.

Hooking flowers and picking flowers, flying line composition, Jiang Li stood behind him for a long time, the silk in front of him had shown half a verdant green leaf, Jiang Li compared the flower and bird picture of Qin Yuanhua next to the loom, exclaimed a good word, and couldn't help but speak.

The male craftsman turned his head and glanced at Jiang Li indifferently, as if he had realized that there was a person standing in front of him.

Although the male craftsman's hair is gray, his face does not look like a middle-aged man's age. He glanced at Jiang Li, continued to bury his head in picking flowers, frowned and spoke, and hummed: "Others say that I am stupid whether I weave brocade or behave, but what are you saying on the side?" ”

Jiang Li glanced at him again, and asked puzzledly: "Your people are obviously not stupid, where does this green leaf brocade look stupid?" ”

The master craftsman glanced at the pattern placed next to the loom and said, "If you compare it with the picture in front of me, the green leaves on my brocade are not at all like the green leaves on the picture, and the flowers and birds on the next half of the picture, I am not going to weave according to that painting, I want to lay it out according to my own will." ”

Another weaver with him pouted and interjected dissatisfiedly: "But we are now competing with others, and if we don't weave according to the drawings, no matter how good we weave, we won't get a good rank!" Lao Chen insisted on composing the brocade according to his own will, isn't a person like him stupid? ”

"I admit that I am stupid, and I have passed, I just want every piece of brocade woven by my hands to meet the standard in my mind. Especially the composition, I don't think the picture is perfect, it would look better with a little modification, and as for the ranking results, I really don't care. Lao Chen said.

He talked to Jiang Li without pausing for half a minute. After a few words, dozens of silk threads were arranged, and the right hand pushed through the horizontal block of the loom, and a complete green leaf was vividly presented on the loom.

Compared with the freehand green leaves painted by Qin Yuanhua on rice paper, the green leaves woven by the unique luster of silk are just like the real thing, with verdant colors and clear leaf veins. When touched by hand, the texture is firm, smooth and delicate.

Jiang Li carefully observed the decomposition of the silk when his hands were dealing with the color transformation, and silently memorized the techniques of this craftsman surnamed Chen, and she continued to move on to the next loom.

After a circle, the results of the review were basically determined, and on the brocade related to Lao Chen, Jiang Li had a dispute with several directors of the Jinya Academy.

The people of Jinayayuan are represented by an old official surnamed Cui, "The craftsman surnamed Chen deliberately modified the flower and bird drawings of Lord Qin, and the level of drawing the knot should be considered eliminated." ”

Jiang Li had a different opinion: "Since we are comparing brocade making to painting, besides, the painting woven by this brocade is indeed more ingenious than the composition of the painting on rice paper, Lord Qin's painting is not a royal pen after all, why can't it be changed?" ”

Jiang Li's brocade base map imitates the landscape of the emperor's imperial pen calligraphy and painting, whether there is any change and no one has studied it deeply, anyway, even the emperor has no opinion, no matter how good this Qin Yuanhua painting is, I dare not compare it with the emperor's calligraphy and painting.

Master Cui glanced sideways at Jiang Li, but he had to admit that she was reasonable.

Qin Yuanhua was in front of a group of Dayan people, and the official shelf was not too cold. Listening to Jiang Li praise a weaver in front of everyone that his composition was more ingenious than himself, a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

The old Master Cui was like a roundworm in Qin Yuanhua's stomach, and he said disdainfully to Jiang Li: "Qin Gongzi's calligraphy and painting are famous all over the world, and if you want Miss Jiang to have any vision, you dare to say that Qin Gongzi's paintings are not ingenious enough." ”

Jiang Li bit the tip of his tongue and resisted the urge to talk at length, and the expression on his face was a little disapproving.

Qin Yuanhua had a humble demeanor and a rare soft tone: "It is rumored that Miss Jiang has been a talented girl in calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and her vision and knowledge in this area are naturally higher than ordinary people. In the future, Qin will ask Miss Jiang for advice when he is free. ”

Jiang Li muttered: The former Miss Jiang may have been a talented girl, but her current self is definitely not. There is a difference between brocade and painting, look at their unrelenting appearance!

lost his temper for a while, so he replied casually: "How dare you ask for advice, Jiang Li doesn't dare to show his ugliness, just hide it." ”

Qin Yuanhua, who has always looked above the top, turned red when he heard this.

The temper was offended, and Jiang Li also regretted it a little. Originally, I always wanted to keep a low profile, and I didn't want to offend Qin Yuanhua, but every time I was impulsive, I always had to break the gong.

Jiang Li didn't care about the results of the preliminary evaluation, and it was already dusk after the selection, and he left the Jinya Academy in frustration.
