459 inkstone

The sky is clear, and the years are quiet.

Since you stay at home, let the troubles be swept away, and worrying will not help, it is better to take one step at a time.

I had nothing to do with a medical book, lying on the bamboo recliner at home, reading it for a while, drowsiness hit, covering my face with a book, and I fell asleep leisurely. Blowing the wind and falling asleep, it is quite leisurely.

The bamboo forest sounded, the wind did not stop, and people arrived first.

Li Banxia tore off the book on his face and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"Master Xiao-" The person who came was General Xiao.

"Hey! Little girl, the master is exempt, my old man doesn't like this kind of title, you can call me master with Liu Xiaozi! ”

Li Banxia smiled and nodded, "Master." Looking at the smiling Xiao General in front of him, Li Banxia deeply felt that time was a wonderful thing. I think that when I first met Xiao Jiang, the eccentric "little old man" suffered a large number of them, especially the kid from Chuanwu.

"Master, are you here to find Dongshan? He's in the house, you go in and sit down~~" As he spoke, Li Banxia was about to welcome him in.

"No, no, I won't go in, my old man is dirty, and I'm afraid of polluting other people's houses when I go to other people's houses." Xiao shook his hand heroically, and the rotten clothes were like a broken sack. According to him, he does have a fight with the beggar gang's Hanako.

"Look at what the master said, it's too late for our family to welcome you, how can you think you're dirty, go in and sit for a while, if your father and mother know that you are coming, they will definitely be very happy."

Do these masters have some quirks? Shaw will do whatever he wants. It's enough for an ordinary family to eat for a lifetime, what kind of clothes does he have to wear? But there are many people in this world. He just doesn't like to wear new clothes, and he doesn't feel comfortable wearing them. It's still his own broken sack at ease.

said that, Li Banxia secretly remembered it in his heart. When I have time, I must make a new dress and ask Dongshan to send it to Master. As an apprentice, he always has to respect and be filial to his master.

Dongshan is still very attentive to this master, but after all, he is a man, and no woman is thoughtful in this regard.

"Forget it today, Master, I'm not here to find Liu Xiaozi, I'm here to find you."

"Looking for me?"

"No, you have something to do with the girl. It's about Liu Boyzi. Li Banxia moved a stool for him, and went into the house to pour him tea. Ma Shi is not in the house, otherwise he must be pulled in and sit for a while.

"Dongshan's, what's the matter with Dongshan?" Is there anything about Liu Dongshan that she doesn't know? Li Banxia thought about it carefully, and didn't find anything wrong with Liu Dongshan's expression these days.

"Last time I told you, my old friend's birthday, let this kid carve a piece of work in the past as a birthday gift?"

"Well, that's the thing. I remember that Dongshan carved a picture of auspicious clouds and snow ...... "Speaking of this, Li Banxia couldn't help but laugh. I still remember that when I saw his work, I deliberately teased him that the auspicious clouds and snow were like cotton and like cloud lotus leaves, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he said things. I suspect that I carved it so badly.

"Then he must have told you that my old friend is a well-known and powerful person?"

"Those who can be respected by the Master must be outstanding. And this master. It is even more famous and worth a thousand gold at a glance. ”

"Yes, my old friend is second to none in today's inkstone world. You may not know him, but he's also used to keeping a low profile. Those who are not in this line of work may not know him. ”

"Dare to ask Master, who is that Master?" Li Banxia was indeed very curious, what kind of person could make Xiao Jiang such a quirky person talk about him and couldn't help but be excited. You must know that there are no more than five people in the whole world who can make Xiao Jiang respect and excited.

"My old friend's name is really interesting, his surname is Guan, his name is Guan Shi. People in the industry admired his eyesight and appreciation, as well as his impartiality and straightforward courage, and named him the honor of the inkstone, which is also the 'inkstone'. ”

"'Yanzun', this name is really loud and tight." Li Banxia smiled and sighed again: "It's just that behind this name, there must have been a lot of hard work and sweat, and many hardships and obstacles. "There are many people who are so famous that people are only amazed by the glory that this name brings, and often ignore the efforts that have gone into their backs.

"The girl is right, my old friend deserves the fame he has today. But those of us don't care about things outside of fame, there are many more interesting things than this. ”

"It's true that fame is tiring, and sometimes it's not necessarily good." What's more, as I said before: fame, when you are used to its existence, is the same as not having fame, there is no difference.

"But this thing, sometimes you hate it so tightly, but you can't live without it. Let's just say Liu Xiaozi, if he doesn't make a name, there will be nothing to do in this industry, and the life of an inkstone carver is not short, and it will not be too long. If you miss the best age, your hand will be unstable, and your heart will not be able to move or wave. ”

Xiao will talk about a kind of realm, a realm of human and hand.

"Since Liu Xiaozi is my apprentice of Xiao Jiang, then he should be a top inkstone carver, and he should be known as the entire inkstone, otherwise wouldn't my name of 'soul hand' be called in vain?" It's true that reputation is not a troublesome thing, but this thing is not without benefits at all, it represents a kind of affirmation. Especially as Xiao Jiang's apprentice, he is destined not to be unknown.

Xiao Jiang was arrogant, and before Liu Dongshan left the school, he did not allow him to tell others that he was his Xiao Jiang's apprentice, nor did he allow him to show his skills casually. In addition to considering his own safety, it was also because he didn't want Liu Dongshan to be a fledgling and smashed his signboard.

"One day rises and the whole thing is fixed", this is what he wants. He needs to use his apprentice to tell the world that General Xiao is not old yet, and General Xiao is not dead yet! He also wanted to tell those who tried to deny him a way out that Shaw had never feared him, nor would he hide forever.

His skills have been inherited, his "soul hand" has been inherited, and there is nothing in the world that he is afraid of and needs to hide.

"What does Master mean?" Li Banxia was horrified in her heart, and at that moment, she saw too many complicated emotions in the eyes of this old man.

He has experienced so much in this life, enjoyed the highest glory, and suffered many hardships that no one else has endured. His eyes were full of strength and pain, as well as an unyielding devotion to fate.

"I want Liu Xiaozi to inherit the legacy of being a teacher and become the soul of the new Yantan of Bian Guo!" Xiao Jiang clenched his fists, "Before teaching this kid inkstone carving, I didn't have such a big mind. But this kid amazed me again and again, his talent and understanding in this line of work, even I was surprised. Exceeded my expectations and he deserves even more from me. ”

Master is always like this with his apprentice, and the better he behaves and the more satisfied he is, the higher his expectations for you.

Xiao attaches so much importance to Dongshan, and Li Banxia is of course very happy. I also felt enthusiastic about what Xiao Jiang said, the "new soul of Bian Guoyantan", but at the same time, it was Liu Dongshan who thought about it the most.

Is Liu Dongshan willing? Given such expectations, does he feel tired and stressed?

"Master, Dongshan may have a certain talent and understanding, but as her pillow person, I know that he still relies more on hard work and hard work. Every time the master arranges the work, Dongshan must do his best to do a good job, and dare not have the slightest neglect. Sometimes, in order to complete the work, there are cases where it does not fit the eyes for two days and two nights. ”

Li Banxia didn't want to say this, but as Liu Dongshan's wife, she couldn't help but care.

When Liu Dongshan rushed to produce works overnight, he even ate his meals in a hurry. Sometimes in the middle of the night, you can see the lights on in the hall and the sound of the carving knife grinding on the inkstone.

It is gratifying that no matter how busy Liu Dongshan is, as long as Li Banxia speaks and pulls him back to rest, he can't bear to disappoint her and will go back to rest with her.

It's just that, seeing that he is busy, Li Banxia can't say anything when he wants to let him rest, and the only thing he can do is to put on his clothes and accompany him by his side.

In the quiet night, with her by his side, he will not be too lonely.

The profession of an inkstone carver is lonely. When you choose to be with inkstone, the last thing you lack in your life is loneliness. Only when you can endure loneliness ~ loneliness and drink the bitter wine of loneliness can you carve eclectic works and become a real inkstone carver.

Li Banxia knew this, but he still couldn't bear to see him too lonely~ lonely.

"Girl, are you distressed?" Shaw stared at him with shrewd eyes, full of smiles. Even the desolation and pathos in his eyes disappeared at once.

Li Banxia blushed a little, but there was nothing bad to admit. The wife cares about her husband, and this is how it should be.

"I just feel that Dongshan is a little bitter, and I'm afraid that I can't afford to bear such a big expectation from Master~~"

"Woman's kindness! Manly, what is it to suffer from this?! Which inkstone carver is not made after a lot of hard work! If Liu Xiaozi can't even endure this bit of hardship, then he will simply change careers as soon as possible and become an inkstone carver~~"

Xiao Jiang's voice was like a bell, and he looked very scary, but there was no anger in his eyes.

Li Banxia shook his head helplessly, "Master, if you make a louder noise, I will be scared by you~~"

"Don't say it, girl, you're not the kind of short-sighted person, Master, I have lived most of my life, and anyone can see it. You, too, can endure hardship. If it were you, you would have been able to do it without saying a word, but if you replaced it with Liu Xiaozi, you would be distressed~~" (To be continued......)
