Li Wenliang is the director of the Palace Museum, and he has been the director of the Forbidden City for more than ten years, and he will retire next year, and before he retires, this time the renovation of the Forbidden City is also his last big task. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the last shift, Li Wenliang can retire successfully, so he has more stringent requirements for the last repair work.

He repeatedly stressed that there should be no mistakes.

received a call from Meng Jinchao, saying that he had found a master, originally Li Wenliang didn't say anything, but when he asked, the other party was a young man in his twenties, and Li Wenliang taught Meng Jinchao a lesson in his head.

As a veteran cadre, Li Wenliang never thought that a 20-year-old young man could repair the Forbidden City, and his qualifications and skills were definitely not enough.

Although Meng Jinchao was scolded, he insisted on letting Director Li take a look, but in the end, there was really no way, so Director Li reluctantly made it difficult and said that he would come and take a look.

……

Xi Qing entered the in-depth portrayal at the back, and his preparation work was more than half an hour, and when he was studying there, many people began to discuss.

However, Meng saw Xi Qing's strength in playing embryos and his knife skills with ease, but everyone had confidence in Xi Qing.

To say that Xi Qing could have completed the final portrayal in a big way, but how to say it, this is the renovation of the Forbidden City, and he must make sure that nothing goes wrong.

When the preparations were ready, Xi Qing picked up the chisel and carving knife and began to continue carving on the walls.

About an hour later, Director Li was late, and after he was greeted by Manager Meng, he also saw the young man, who only had a carving knife and chisel in his hand, and restored the picture to a rough appearance.

Next, it must be restored to its antique charm.

Li Wenliang couldn't help but admire: "Good skills, where did you invite this young man, Manager Meng?" ”

Meng Jinchao smiled: "This is my little niece introduced, she has seen his carving, know that he is a very powerful sculptor, I didn't believe it before, until I saw his skills, it was simply amazing." ”

"Well, it seems that the renovation work of the Forbidden City has been completed. Well, how much does it cost? ”

As soon as Li Wenliang asked, Meng Jinchao suddenly slapped his thigh: "Ah, I haven't said anything about the price yet." I thought about acquaintances, so I didn't ask. Besides, before, I didn't say let him do it. ”

"It doesn't matter, the technology is good, and the salary is expensive, in short, you can negotiate the price. As for me, I've only been here for a few minutes, and I'll have a meeting soon. You keep this lad for me, and I'll come back to him when I get there." ”

Li Wenliang, as the leader of the museum, has to deploy the exhibition after the year, so there are many meetings, and after speaking, Li Wenliang left.

Meng Jinchao nodded and watched Curator Li leave.

……

After working for more than three hours, Xi Qing finally restored this wall, the original landscape carving, the technique of bas-relief can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty carving master Zhu Yongtai.

He is good at jade carving, so he is also good at carving stone carving, and is more proficient, Master Zhu Yongtai carved this wall, and there were three helpers at that time, so in fact, it is not a person's style in style.

However, what Xi Qing carved was inherited from Master Zhu Yongtai's techniques, and the omissions of the other three apprentices were completely made up for this time, and Master Zhu Yongtai's skills were pursued.

This subtle change is not difficult for professional carvers to discover, at least Meng Jinchao feels that it is exactly the same as the original.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Xi Qing put down his heart, and he said, "Okay, this wall is carved, Manager Meng, can you take a look?" “

Xi Qing turned around, he was completely immersed in the work for more than three hours, he almost didn't know that Director Li had been here.

Meng Jinchao looked at the carving restored by Xi Qing and smiled: "I have seen it, I have been looking at it again, your carving is really the same as the original, I really think that no matter how good it is, Xi Qing, thank you very much." “

"Manager Meng, it's good if you're satisfied. Then the next three sides, Manager Meng doesn't know if you still want me to carve? ”

It's noon, even if the carving is not now, Manager Meng nodded again and again, "Of course I want you to carve, but I don't know if you have time, you are very busy, I'm afraid you don't have time." “

Meng Jinchao said and held Xi Qing's hand, not caring that his hands were still full of stone chips: "Xi Qing, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, you have such carving skills at a young age, you are really the pride of our Chinese, you actually don't know, just now our Curator Li came, he saw your carving, very satisfied." “

"Huh? Your curator has been here, I don't know. Xi Qing said stupidly.

"You don't know, because you're completely immersed in carving. I really feel like I've found a treasure now. I have a lot to thank Meng Yao for this. These other three walls, you must continue to complete, our leader said that we will meet you after the meeting, it is estimated that we will also talk to you about the price. “

"In short, if you have good skills, the reward will not be less than yours."

Xi Qing is not interested in remuneration or anything, he feels that it is his honor to be able to repair the Forbidden City, and it would be good to give it a similar price.

He didn't reply, but when he heard that Meng Jinchao wanted to pay Xi Qing, Sun Hu was displeased, this was undoubtedly robbing his own business: "Manager Meng, this project, the stone carving part is made for us, you can't just give it to him." Also, you... You're carving well, but you can't steal our project. ”

Sun Hu looked at Xi Qing, who smiled faintly: "Little Sun, first of all, I don't rarely ask for any reward, I just take my fair share." Secondly, you said that you can only carve next month, but I am not finished carving at the moment, I have avoided the question of stone quality and seasonal factors, I just use facts to tell you, it is your skills that are not up to par, do not always emphasize objective factors, sometimes, it is really just your subjective problem. ”

"Also, as Chinese, the Forbidden City is our face, foreigners are going to visit here, can we be close to the country, do we have to emphasize interests?"

Xi Qingyi was righteous, after Sun Hu listened, he lowered his head and did not quibble, in front of the facts, Sun Hu lost his position to refute, and Xiao Wu beside him wanted to say something, but Sun Hu grabbed him.

"Okay, he's right, we did do something wrong, since people have carved this wall, and they don't want any payment, what else do we say, let's go back."

"No, wait a minute."

Xi Qing said, and took the initiative to walk to Manager Meng's side to discuss with him: "Manager Meng, there are quite a lot of stone carvings in the museum, I can't be busy alone, this time I am just in the perspective of helping, you see the sweat I flowed, just now I was actually highly nervous, and I am afraid I will not be able to hold on for another hour." So, if I think, you still tell them to do it, I can guide them, let's get the project done as soon as possible, you say? (To be continued.) )
