Thank you for the money bag (2) of the dragon_318 sister paper, the evaluation vote of the wind dance purple cherry sister paper, thank you!

Liu ...... Brother Liu, are you here? Shangguan Wurong, who was laughing, saw Liu Dongshan, who was standing not far away and wanted to leave, and didn't want to go, his body staggered, and he hurriedly stood up, and asked a little embarrassed.
Zhang Feng is worthy of being a "god", even at this time, his face does not change. Ahem, it's someone who's more humiliating anyway, and he didn't do anything.
smiled lightly, stood up and greeted: "Brother Liu came to find our couple at this time, but what is the important matter?" ”
Liu Dongshan walked into the pavilion, Zhang Feng said "please" without saying "please", and sat down at the stone table. Shangguan Wurong greeted the little maid who was waiting for the order not far away, and asked her to serve tea to Liu Dongshan.
"Thank you, Lord and Mrs., Liu came over this time, I want to ask my Lord and Mrs. about something, and I'm sorry for disturbing the interest of the two."
Liu Dongshan didn't say this, it's okay, Shangguan Wurong's face immediately turned normal again, and he hurriedly stuffed a small snack into his mouth, secretly saying whether this Liu family's eldest brother is really confused or fake.
Speaking of which, Liu Dongshan stayed with Mr. Gongsun at the post station for a long time, and over time, his speech was also infected with a little bit of Mr. Gongsun's crepe problem. In those spare days, Mr. Gongsun taught him a lot of knowledge, and he benefited a lot from it.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or Lord Bao's intention, a few days after Liu Dongshan came to the post station, Lord Bao had several friends to visit. I heard Mr. Gongsun say that these people are all good carvers of contemporary inkstones, and most of them have been famous for a long time. They came to the post house. Talk to Master Bao about the way of inkstone, as well as the popular contemporary inkstone carving style and the heirlooms that have influenced the entire inkstone altar and even later generations. And every time Master Bao would call him. Liu Dongshan didn't say much, listened carefully to their golden and jade good words, and only felt that the inkstone carving world was wonderful.
From beginning to end, Master Bao rarely let him speak, perhaps to understand his hidden intentions, at this time, what Liu Dongshan needs to do most is to be a good student, accumulate the experience of his predecessors, and have more understanding of inkstone carving.
In these populations. He had heard more than once the name of his master, General Xiao, the "soul hand". Although Liu Dongshan knew that his master's status in the inkstone altar was transcendent, he did not know that he had reached the kind of situation where he was worshiped by the inkstone carver. Most of his carved works were collected by dignitaries and nobles, and a pair of works was more than a thousand gold, and many people spent their lives just to get a pair of works carved by Xiao Jiang himself.
It is said that many of his works have even been circulated overseas, and those people also appreciate them, and they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to find a pair of Xiao Jiang's treasures. And every time there is a banquet, if anyone can come up with Xiao Jiang's works, it will undoubtedly become the focus of attention of the audience. Become the object of envy.
Although these famous inkstone carvers have admired Xiao Jiang for a long time and want to get a pair of Xiao Jiang's works, they can't get it.
Xiao Jiang's authentic works are very rare and rare in the market. Many people get Xiao Jiang's works and want to treasure them as heirlooms for generations, so how can they be willing to sell them on the market?
Plus there are rumors that Shogun has died. If no new work comes out in his lifetime, the value of his work will increase exponentially. If it weren't for the urgent need for money or the brain was withdrawn, Xiao Jiang's works would not be sold at this time.
Of course. There is one more reason. Xiao Jiang's work, even if it is a simple inkstone carving, is now worth at least thousands of taels of silver, even if you want to buy it, I am afraid you are powerless.
You must know that these inkstone carvers, although they are somewhat famous, after all, they are not like Xiao Jiang, and the speed of making money is the same as opening a silver money bureau by themselves.
Liu Dongshan was very proud, the situation could really be said to be enthusiastic, no matter who heard such words, he couldn't help but be excited. What's more, Liu Dongshan is also the apprentice of this mysterious soul hand Xiao Jiang, his only disciple who enters the house and closes the door.
He was excited, not because he was an apprentice of such a great character, and with his aura, he would be extremely beautiful-what a tempting word Xiao Jiang's apprentice? With this title, it is enough for him to eat and drink without worrying about being sought after by everyone in this life.
It's not because of these inkstone carvings that are worth thousands of gold in his mouth, he can take out dozens of yuan casually, as long as he sells these, Liu Dongshan can immediately go from a poor boy who can't get dozens of taels of silver to a rich man with tens of thousands of dollars.
It's because they're talking about his master, and Liu Dongshan respects his master, just as he respects his own master and father!
It was Xiao who took him into a completely different world, it was he who made him experience another wonderful life, and it was he who gave him more beautiful understanding and feelings about life.
If Li Banxia is the source that makes him want to live a better life, then Xiao Jiang is the guide who makes all this a reality.
Because of him, he has more self-confidence, self-confidence that he can make the lives of those he cares about better, and he is confident that he will not let them down. He will be a useful husband, a good father who makes children proud, and a good son who makes his father proud. Although he has not achieved anything yet, and he has not earned them a better life, he believes that one day, he will have the ability to bring them a more stable and worry-free life.
Liu Dongshan doesn't want to become famous, nor does he want to make a lot of money, he just hopes to make his family live a better life, and he is very satisfied with providing them with a more stable and comfortable life.
Master said that he could go out of the mountain.
But now he doesn't want to.
One is because he feels that he has not yet reached that time, although his carving skills have been affirmed by the master, but he lacks a lot of experience and grasp of the current trend of inkstones. It can't be said that you have to follow the trend, but those successful masters can always keenly capture the current carving trend, even if they find another way, it is also based on understanding everything about the cave.
Master is very strict, usually does not talk much, and his explanations are also concise and incisive. It is rare to have such an opportunity, hearing the words of these famous experts, Liu Dongshan also feels that he has gained a lot, and he is also grateful to Lord Bao for his hard work.
In those days at the post station, Liu Dongshan was really miserable and happy, on the one hand, he was worried about Li Banxia and was anxious to see his wife. On the other hand, I have also grown a lot of knowledge, and I have a little more knowledge of inkstone carving.
On the other hand, he needed to tell Banxia about this matter and get her forgiveness and support before he could get out of the mountain. Without his support, Liu Dongshan would feel that many things were missing.
Fortunately, all the wind and rain have passed, and the couple have survived this difficulty safely, just like Banxia often says, how to see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain, I believe that they will be greeted by a better life in the future.
As for Master, his life will get better and better.
It doesn't make sense, Liu Dongshan just knows.
He always firmly believes that a person who has experienced so many blows and is full of hardships in life can still carve such great works, then this person must have something in his heart that is enough for him to persevere and not be afraid of any difficulties and obstacles!
As they say, Master's work has a mysterious magic. Whether it is arrogant and domineering, or Lingxiu is timeless, there is a kind of indomitable domineering and tension that is bound to disperse all dark clouds. The kind of carver who does not hesitate to fight against the sky, with a pair of eyes that cannot see the light, carves the true meaning of light, how can he not make people feel his greatness?
Liu Dongshan once saw the late autumn maple forest he carved, the mountains were like blood, red and vibrant, red and steep, and red severely. On the large inkstone, there are not a few maple trees in sight, only the fiery red maple leaves. In the corner of the inkstone, it was pitch black, and there was no coloring.
The most shocking thing is the carving technique of these maple leaves, the whole carving, all of which are bold and robust deep knife carving. The lines are clear, the ink is colorful, and the knife is immediately visible, as if the edges and corners of these maple leaves are cut by the carving knife.
Liu Dongshan was also completely shocked by Xiao Jiang's bold carving technique, at that moment, he seemed to be able to understand, why this blind old man can have such a great reputation in the inkstone, and be respected and respected by so many people?
Because an inkstone carver like him is difficult to produce one in a hundred years!
At the same time, Liu Dongshan also felt a kind of responsibility, which he may not have felt before, but after seeing such a shocking work, he suddenly felt that even if his apprentice may not be well-known, he could not live up to the reputation of his master and his old man, and his teachings to himself.
Coming back from Zhang Fengwu and Shangguan Wurong, Liu Dongshan felt a lot more relaxed.
As they said, along the way, no matter how big the difficulties, the couple has also come through. Living in the world, people will always face all kinds of dangers. Even if it's good to be able to pass, if you can't go over, the couple is also of the same mind, and they are together all the time.
The matter of Jiangzhou is not over, and no one knows what awaits them. Zhang Fengwu is the key to the Jiangzhou case, and it is easy to be implicated. But they decided to put aside these concerns for a while and enjoy life to the fullest. Nothing is more important than cherishing the present life.
No matter what danger lies ahead, or what unpredictable circumstances lie ahead, as long as they are always together and willing to face them together, then what is there to fear?
Liu Dongshan figured this out, took a relaxed but firm step, and returned to the house where he and Li Banxia stayed - (to be continued......
