As soon as you enter the village, there are ruins and desolate grass and trees everywhere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not to mention that the environment in the village is dirty and messy, and now it is the busy season of farming, and the tavern and tea shop at the entrance of the village have gathered a few groups of people to gamble.
Continuing to walk inside, a group of people gathered at the gate of one of the few neat houses in the village.
Jiang Li's master and servant stood and listened for a while, it turned out that the two families were fighting for the homestead in front of the house and behind the house.
There were many villagers in short shirts and trousers around, but no one stepped forward to help persuade them.
Jiang Li looked at it coldly for a while, the two people who were fighting had a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, and the other had a low eyebrow, although they hadn't seen each other for several years, Jiang Li still recognized Jiang Tianci and Jiang Tianyi at a glance who looked like this.
Jiang Tianyi opened a hole on his forehead, blood flowed, and he stroked the wound with his hand and scolded Jiang Tianci. Jiang Tianci had no obvious scars on his body, only a pinch of his chin and beard were cut off, and he rolled and scolded on the ground covering his red, swollen and purple face.
"It's disgusting and boring!" Xiao Xiang glanced at it, saw that Jiang Li had walked away, and hurriedly chased after him. "Look at those two scoundrels dog eat dog, I'm afraid they won't have time to come to Meizhuang in the future."
"Little man, why bother!" Jiang Li laughed and skipped it disapprovingly.
The two went back to Meizhuang directly. That day, the little guy sent by the cloud steward to deliver the letter sent a new message, which was a bright red invitation post.
The post opened, and the road was that the Jinaya Institute opened a brocade making conference in Beijing, recruiting all kinds of brocade artists from all over the world to test their skills in court. Among them, the winners are rewarded by the imperial court.
Jiang Li took the post and groaned, her workshop had just closed, but she received such an invitation post. She didn't care about the court's reward, but such a grand event was a rare opportunity to learn the art of brocade making.
Heart: And if the people who participated in it were really talented, she could also bring the people from her own workshop to have a good time.
Jiang Li took the post and showed it to Jiang Gan, who lived in Meizhuang, as a master of brocade making in Nanchen, Jiang Gan had a kind of craftsmanship who lived to learn from the past. He hurriedly read the post, and came to Jiang Li in person, saying that he wanted to accompany Jiang Li to participate in this brocade making conference.
Jiang Li was still a little hesitant, taking into account Jiang Gan's mood, and then thinking that it was just for the purpose of learning and learning, after thinking about it, she asked people to go to the Nanchen Chamber of Commerce, and consulted Xiao Yu on whether to participate in this brocade making conference.
Xiao Yu said that as one of the owners, if Jiang Li wanted to participate, he would just go, and he didn't have to worry too much.
At that time, he will take care of the official procedures and entertainment. He also said that Jiang Li and Jiang Gan could bring people to learn brocade making skills with others wholeheartedly at the conference.
Since Xiao Yu said so, Jiang Li had no worries and began to prepare to participate in the conference.
According to the requirements of the conference, if the workshop that received the invitation agreed to participate in the brocade making conference, it must provide a copy of the fine brocade produced by the workshop in advance for the initial screening of the brocade institute. After screening, the order of admission and the number of seats will be finalized according to the quality of the grade.
Jiang Li originally agreed to participate in the conference with the mentality of playing soy sauce, and he didn't want the Meiji workshop to be remembered for being too sharp, so he listened to Jiang Gan's advice and chose a pair of brocade works she completed under Jiang Gan's guidance, which was the just-completed "Buddha's Lecture and Teachings Map".
According to Jiang Gan's statement to Jiang Li, her skills in this work are average, especially the handling of the flower picking and fainting parts are slightly dull and stiff, if you follow the normal screening and evaluation, the best estimate can only be ranked close to the top tens. That's probably because of Nan Chen's unique brocade making techniques.
Such an expectation is very suitable for the purpose of Jiang Li's participation in the conference -- he can not only blend in with the middle of the technical layer, but also not be looked down upon by those who are interested in it.
Therefore, Jiang Li didn't think much about it, and put the light cloud brocade "Buddha's Lecture and Dharma Diagram" woven by himself in a box and let people take it to the Jinaya Temple to hand it over.
More than three months later, the brocade-making conference was held in the capital as scheduled. The venue is located in Kinaya-in.
For more than three months, the capital gathered merchants from the south to the north, and all the famous brocade workshops called by the merchants sent brocade craftsmen to the capital.
There are many people in the capital who are already transferred from the south to the north, and because of the convening of this unprecedented brocade making conference, it has attracted more people from all over the world for a while.
On the day of the conference, Jiang Li brought several brocade workers in the Meiji workshop with Jiang Gan, as well as Xiaoxiang and Sixi, and the group arrived at the gate of the Jinya Courtyard.
At the entrance of the Jinaya Temple, there were people on the third floor and the outer three floors, some of whom had traveled thousands of miles to participate in the conference, and as a result, they did not earn the qualifications for the primary election; Some are here purely to see the excitement; Some businessmen waited at the door just for the results of the selection, and wanted to sign the next year's order with the winning splendid workshop as soon as possible.
All these kinds of people surrounded the gate of Jinyayuan for a while. Fortunately, Jiang Li received the admission pass token distributed by Jinyayuan early. On the token is the twenty-seventh, that is, as Jiang Gan expected, her brocade ranked in the top thirty, ranking twenty-seventh.
According to this ranking, her Mui Kee Splendid Workshop can bring six people into the venue. So in addition to Jiang Li's self-defense with Xiaoxiang and Sixi, in addition to Jiang Gan, she also brought two skilled brocade workers in the workshop. One is to let them learn, and the other is to prepare for the next competition.
At the door, I handed over the token and entered the Kinaya-in. Jiang Li, dressed in a black silk robe and a simple wooden hairpin, walked in with the people in his workshop mixed in a group of brocade craftsmen with southern accents and northern accents.
The tall loom factory on both sides of the Jinya Courtyard, the empty field in the courtyard set up a platform, the platform is gorgeous and luxurious with five-color assortment, a group of people wearing various official uniforms sat on the stage, Qin Yuanhua was dressed in a scarlet official uniform, and a fish bag was hung on the stage.
There were hundreds of people sitting in the audience, Sixi grabbed the front and separated everyone to find the position of No. 27 under the stage, Jiang Li and his party sat down, it was the position of the second row, very close to the stage.
Jiang Li looked around, among the hundreds of brocade craftsmen, there were only a few women, and some were still a little older. A woman of her age and Xiaoxiang are still quite eye-catching when they are mixed in a group of craftsmen. She unconsciously lowered her head slightly.
Half a moment later, the entrance door closed, and a man in a green robe and round collar on the stage stated the inheritance and propagation of the brocade making conference under Qin Yuanhua's nod, and then talked about the importance of the development of brocade, and then announced the start of the first round of the conference.
In the first round of the competition, the brocade handed in by these craftsmen was placed in front of the stage, and everyone evaluated and voted according to their experience, and nearly 7% of the people were eliminated, and then the next round of competition was carried out.
Everyone got up one after another, Jiang Li walked to the brocade placed in front of the stage and stopped one by one to gaze, his hand touched all kinds of brocade in front of him, and he didn't notice a few malicious glances on and off the stage.
