Ye Ci lowered his head and did not reply, as if he was making a silent refusal.

Seeing this, Yang Zhiyin hurriedly came up and asked, "Ye Ci, why are you so unconfident in your appearance, in fact, you can look good when you dress up."

Ye Ci glanced at Qiao Manshi, who was measuring the size on his body, then looked up at Yang Zhiyin, lowered his eyes and replied, "No, Zhiyin." It's not that I'm not confident in myself, I just don't like to be in the limelight, you know that's my personality."

Yang Zhiyin is still puzzled, "But personality can also change, if you don't run yourself while you're young, you won't even have any experience to be proud of when you're old, what a pity."

Ye Ci shook his head and looked at her and replied, "No, Zhiyin, I am a restorer, and I am a craftsman." Appearance is not so important or something to be proud of for people like me. What if one day, I am really attracted to those things that look beautiful, and I can no longer sink my heart to make porcelain. After all, my dream in life is not to be famous as a model, I just want to repair one or two cultural relics that can be satisfactory, and I am content."

Yang Zhiyin is really convinced.

She had always known that Ye Ci was weird, but she didn't expect her brain circuit to be so bizarre.

The fame and fortune that others envy in every way are not worth a single place for her at all. And what others don't care about, she holds in her hands like a treasure.

You can't say that she is fake and noble, after all, people's values and outlook on life are born like this, and they sincerely think so.

Qiao Manshi also straightened up at this time, wrote down the numbers in his hand on the table, raised his head and whispered: "Miss Ye, if you really don't want to, of course I won't force you, after all, I'm the worst person to be a strong person." It's just that let's make this cheongsam first, if you look at it and like it, then let's talk about the future, just make friends, how about it."

Ye Ci saw that this master, who was much older than himself, said this, so he could only nod his head and replied with a smile: "Then I will trouble you."

Qiao Manshi saw Ye Ci smiling, and he also laughed, as if he had seen the same self many years ago.

Qiao Manshi thought that if she hadn't lost that child back then, would she have been like the little girl in front of her, persistently seeking the value of her life as a craftsman.

For a craftsman, it doesn't matter if they're young or not, no matter what field they're in.

In their hearts, they must have had such a dream - hoping that their craftsmanship can be recognized by the world, so that the artwork in their hands can become another life, and it will be passed on vividly in this world.

At that time, Qiao Manshi's master was killed at the market dock because he was unwilling to make zuò wedding clothes for the families of Japanese officers.

Although Qiao Manshi no longer has the burden of family hatred and national hatred, she still insists on her dedication to cheongsam and her inner delicacy.

She thinks that in some stubbornness, every craftsman is actually the same.

Ye Ci didn't know these feelings of Qiao Manshi, and when he saw that the number of the amount had been measured, he turned his head and asked, "Then, can I go back to do things?" ”

Qiao Manshi saw that she was in a hurry to leave, and she didn't care about the style and color of her cheongsam at all, as if she was forced to do it, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head, and waved her hand helplessly: "Go, go, go."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slow knock on the door behind him.

Ye Ci walked over and opened the door and found that the person standing outside was Shen Yu.

Shen Yu also brought a food box in his hand at this time, and when he opened the door and saw so many people standing in the room, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Why are there so many people in your family, holding a conference."

Ye Ci came out with slippers and replied with a smile: "My friend came to my house to stay for a while, and this one is Sister Qiao, a very famous tailor in Beiyi, who specially came to measure my size and make a dress."

Shen Yu let out an "oh" and nodded at Yang Zhiyin and Qiao Manshi in the room.

Then while taking off his shoes, he asked, "You are also going to Beiyi to attend the birthday banquet?" ”

Ye Ci tilted his head and asked, "Master, how do you know?" ”

Shen Yu put down the food box in his hand and replied nonchalantly: "Li Xia also asked the bureau for three days off, saying that she was going to Beiyi to attend her family's birthday banquet, her family is rural, how can there be any family in Beiyi." I thought, you and Ning Zhiyuan's nephew both know each other, and they should be the same as each other. By the way, there is black chicken soup in the insulated box, which is the local chicken that my aunt specially brought from the countryside, I don't like to drink it, so I brought some for you, and put it in the refrigerator first."

Ye Ci nodded in thanks, put the insulated box in the refrigerator, came back and chatted with Yang Zhiyin and Qiao Manshi, turned around and prepared to go to the studio.

I didn't think that Qiao Manshi was standing behind, and suddenly asked: "Miss Ye, what is the last name of the woman who went in just now?" ”

Ye Ci didn't know why she asked about Shen Yu, she lowered her head and thought about it, and replied: "The surname is Shen, she is my master, what's wrong?" ”

Qiao Manshi said "oh", but did not answer, but said, "No, nothing".

Shen Yu had already taken off his coat and entered the studio at this time, and looked around the half of the vase on the operating table for a while.

Seeing Ye Ci coming in, he immediately asked: "Is this vase of yours going to be a commercial repair (commercial restoration)?" Don't be deceived, our craft isn't for illegal things."

Ye Ci walked over, nodded and replied: "Master, don't worry, this vase was entrusted to me by an old gentleman's children, I have been to their house to see it before, it is not black porcelain." The meaning of his children is that they want to repair this vase as best as possible before the old man dies, so as to fulfill his wish in his old age."

Shen Yu let out an "oh", put on gloves, half-bent down, picked up the numbered pieces on the table, connected No. 3 and No. 4, put them on the bottle and tried it, shook his head and said, "It's very difficult, you see, these pieces are all blunted, and the surface layer is peeling off so badly." Tsk, since this person's children have this heart, why didn't they pay attention to preservation at all before? ”

Ye Ci pursed his lips and replied, "They shouldn't know much about collections." When I used to get them, they were all in a box, and they didn't seem to know how to put them separately."

Shen Yu sighed, and said with some disgust: "I don't know how to cherish good things at home, so I just want to spend money on letting us repair them, and it's good to repair them, but if we don't repair them, we blame our skills for not being proficient."

This is the first time Ye Ci has seen Shen Yu complaining at work, so he secretly laughed and asked, "Master, do you think it is feasible if I use new porcelain to match this vase with old porcelain?" ”

Shen Yu glanced at her and said, "Porcelain with porcelain?" If you have that confidence, of course, it is possible, but this thing is a genuine product anyway, and if it is not worthy, it will be."

"Also".

Ye Ci listened to Shen Yu's words, and couldn't help but bow his head in a little frustration.

Shen Yu was also a little unbearable when he saw her like this, stood up and patted her on the shoulder and said, "I know that the first time you received this kind of work, and it was entrusted to you by others wholeheartedly, you must want to do your best." But Ye Ci, we do things and learn things the same, we have to have a step-by-step process. What about this vase, if you want to listen to my thoughts, then I will definitely build yì you in an ordinary way, after all, these small gaps are added with putty, in fact, it is completely possible to make up for it, and it is so simple and safe, as for the color and light, if you want to, you can borrow the tools in the museum when the time comes, the day before yesterday, we only came in a batch of new appliances in our group, I discussed with the captain, and I just took it for you children to practice their hands."

Ye Ci listened to Shen Yu's words, and immediately smiled "um", and replied with a happy face: "Then I will listen to the master."

It was rare for Shen Yu to see Ye Ci's hearty smiling face, so she couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her hair, and asked her, "You, you just have too little thought." Are you really with Ning Zhiyuan's little nephew? ”

Ye Ci didn't expect Shen Yu to suddenly ask him this, nodded a little embarrassedly, and muttered softly: "Master, I know you don't think well of us."

Shen Yu replied with a "cut" sound: "Okay, who is not optimistic about you." I gave you a vaccination before you were together, and now that you're really together, I can still tear you down. In the future, if that kid dares to bully you, you can tell me that Ning Zhiyuan and I will beat him to death."

Ye Ci covered his mouth and chuckled, and when he saw Shen Yu's mobile phone ringing, he immediately said: "Then master, go back first, calling you over today will delay you a lot of time."

Shen Yu nodded, turned around and said as he walked out, "Then you can do it yourself, and call me if you have any problems." Your disciplinary action expires next week, and you can come back to work then."

Ye Ci agreed "yes" and sent Shen Yu out of the door, and when he came back, he found that Qiao Manshi and Yang Zhiyin were no longer there, and he saw a note on the table that read: "I'll go out to see off Sister Qiao, you work quietly, and I'll come back at night." Zhiyin".

Ye Ci put away the note, returned to the studio by himself, sat down and touched the clay in his hand, feeling that his heart was never calm.

She has been disturbed by various things these days, but at this time, the house is quiet, no one is bothered, and she has a few words of advice from Shen Yu, and for a while it is like taking a reassuring pill, and her thinking is extremely clear.

It's just that the time in his hand is too fast, and when Ye Ci looks up again, the time is already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Yang Zhiyin hadn't come back yet, Ye Ci originally wanted to make a phone call to ask, but he didn't want Bai Ge's phone to come in first.

opened his mouth and said: "Ye Ci, that kid of the Yue family and his grandmother's birthday banquet, you can't go over, listen to me, don't go."
