The foundation of carving is painting and calligraphy, and the foundation of calligraphy and painting is not enough, and it is difficult to achieve much in carving. This is especially true of porcelain carving, which requires higher basic skills in calligraphy and painting.

The stall owner's foundation is very good and very skilled, but as Mu Feng said, that's it, it's really worse than Xie Bin. Xie Bin can take a fancy to these two works, not because of his calligraphy and painting, but because of his porcelain carving skills.

At the same time, it is also to support these relatively unpopular crafts, so as not to be really lost after a few years.

In the middle of the sound, Mu Feng came back with two boxes in his arms, and said to Xie Bin: "Boss, that person is really not authentic, the two bottles cost me a total of 60,000 yuan, and I don't bargain for life or death, it's true." ”

Xie Bin laughed, "You deserve it, people must be looking at you unpleasantly, it can't be that you said something wrong, right?" ”

Mu Feng said disdainfully: "Doesn't it mean that his painting skills are average?" It's not enough to say that my level is not enough. ”

Xie Bin's mind is not that people won't let you say it, it must be that you speak in a bad tone. No matter how good-tempered a person is, he will also have a temper, especially in the field where he is more proud, if you have a good communication with him, it is easy to say, but if it is in the past, he will point his fingers and make irresponsible remarks, and people will not slap you politely enough.

Just like the jade carving masters led by Old Man Mu on the day Xie Bin first arrived in Kunshi, if you say it well, Xie Bin will naturally not be angry, but will think that you are a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person. But how can those few people who rely on the old and sell the old point and point at Xie Bin to make Xie Bin comfortable?

With Mu Feng's personality, it must be like this, not to mention that he is not a professional trader, so it would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to slaughter Mu Feng. However, Xie Bin felt that it was more likely that the stall owner wanted to scare Mu Feng away at a high price.

It's just that Mu Feng is a master who doesn't take money as money, where can such a price scare him.

Xie Bin took out the two pieces that Mu Feng bought back and looked at them, both of them were good, but the themes were all love, one was a round bottle illustrated by the West Chamber, and the other was a shallow plate of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

Regardless of the subject matter, this painting is the best of several pieces, with an average of 30,000 yuan a piece, and if it is expensive, it is not expensive. However, seeing these two objects, Xie Bin remembered that Mu Fengfeng seemed to be engaged in art, and he seemed to have said that he also had an art salon.

Thinking of this, Xie Bin asked with a smile: "By the way, I forgot to ask you, what kind of painting did you study?" ”

Mu Feng smiled and said: "At first, I learned sketching, and later I learned oil painting, but now I am ready to learn ink painting, boss, you teach me?" Mu Feng also learned a few days ago that Xie Bin not only knows how to do carving, but also a well-known painter, and has always wanted Xie Bin to teach him to paint.

Xie Bin didn't want to get such a person to follow him, and besides, he didn't have any intention of accepting apprentices now. It's okay for him to paint by himself, but if he really lets him talk about any theoretical knowledge, he is probably worse than those ordinary art academy students.

If in the process of teaching, let Mu Feng, the apprentice, find fault with himself, where will Xie Bin's face go? And more importantly, Xie Bin is still reluctant to get too close to Mu Feng. In this way, ordinary friends are just friends, and the relationship between master and apprentice is too close.

Maybe the current society doesn't pay much attention to these things, just like school teachers and students, most of them don't come back after graduation. But this kind of face-to-face one-on-one direct teaching was a very grand thing in the past.

That kind of master should actually write "master", that is, the teacher is like a father. The disciple should not only listen to the teacher, but also honor the teacher, and when the teacher is sick, he must serve the same as his children, and when he dies, he must also wear filial piety.

In the same way, the master should also care for his apprentices like a father, educate them the same, discipline them the same, and be at the forefront when something happens.

In today's society, this relationship may be lighter, but it still exists, just like the disciple of a cross talk master, even the income has to be managed by the master after becoming famous.

Xie Bin himself also attaches great importance to this relationship, otherwise he would not be so good to his two masters. Although they don't treat them as their fathers, they are not much different, especially the miniature carving master, Xie Bin still has to retire to the end.

Therefore, when he heard that Mu Feng wanted to worship him as a teacher, Xie Bin would not agree no matter what, it was not only a matter of teaching skills, but also an extra responsibility. Besides, Xie Bin didn't know if Mu Feng had asked his father and grandfather if he worshipped him as a teacher, so he had to be cautious.

After a few days of contact, Xie Bin can be regarded as understanding the situation of the Mu family, this is an ancient family, and it is said that it is the descendant of a certain prince in the Ming Dynasty. However, after several ups and downs, it rose again in the Republic of China period.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, it was at that time that Old Man Mu's father stood up again, with a group of people and dozens of guns, he managed to gain a firm foothold in Yun Province and the border, and he made such a big business. At the same time, it is also the beginning of the trade of jadeite rough.

In the past, it was different from now, most of the jadeite was excavated and transported to China through illegal means, and the old man of the Mu family was that group of people, who witnessed the whole process of the jadeite industry from chaos to the current rise.

And because of the complex forces in Yun Province and the grim environment, in the frenzy of a few decades ago, the Mu family was not greatly affected, the family concept is still very heavy, and most of the ancient rituals and traditions have been preserved.

Mu Feng is an exceptional rebel. Xie Bin didn't want to have any conflicts with the old man of the Mu family for Mu Feng, anyway, Mu Feng wanted to learn Chinese painting, and he didn't have to learn from Xie Bin, there were many masters in China, hundreds of thousands of yuan were thrown down, and many people rushed to teach him.

Xie Bin's ability is used in painting and writing, but it has no effect, and the level is not the top in China, Xie Bin still sees this very clearly, he can't want to be said to be a mistaken child.

In fact, Mu Feng is just going against his family, and the sooner he finds something. If he really wants to learn jade carving and Chinese painting, Mu Feng's grandfather Mu Lao Lao is a master himself, so why bother to seek the near and far?

Old Man Mu's jade carving kung fu is at the master level, as for Chinese painting or something, although Xie Bin has never seen it, but just looking at these jade carving works, he knows that the foundation is not weak, and it is more than enough to teach Mu Feng.

But now the old man of the Mu family's attitude towards Mu Feng can be regarded as laissez-faire, as long as he doesn't get into trouble, doesn't do bad things, and plays how he likes, otherwise, he would have arrested Mu Feng a long time ago. However, it is said that Mu Feng's elder brother is very good, and now he is studying economic management in the United States, and he is obviously the successor of the Mu family in the future.

Mu Feng probably also touched Xie Bin's temper, and he didn't care if Xie Bin refused, and hugged Xiao Wang ** with a smile. Xie Bin who watched it was quite speechless, thinking about it, you should look at the occasion, the onlookers were embarrassed, it was really difficult for Mu Feng to be calm.

At the end of the day, Zou Xintong and the two little girls were so busy that even Uncle Li and a few bodyguards were disgraced. Zou Xintong They have to deal with all kinds of men, the true and false questions are very tiring, and they can't be angry, and they can't help answering, and some questions have to be repeated over and over again.

And Uncle Li and a few others were molested by a group of little girls. I have to say that Uncle Li and the cool appearance of standing there in a black suit is quite tasteful. It used to be just that, but the girls in recent years have become more and more bold.

In the past, it was all men who flirted with little girls, but now the little girls are not to be outdone, and they have begun to tease their uncles, especially the bodyguards who came out of the army, not to mention whether they are handsome or not, that kind of cold and masculine temperament has made several little girls pestered for a long time.

After transporting all the belongings to the bank and storing them, several people returned to the hotel tired. These things are still more suitable for the bank, anyway, there are escort cars to pick up, it doesn't cost a few dollars, and it saves worry and effort, and the security is higher.

After Zou Xintong ate at the hotel, he looked at the two boxes in Xie Bin's arms and asked, "What did you buy?" I saw you playing there in the morning, and I didn't know how to help us cope.

Xie Bin smiled, "Those who can work hard," said and took out the two pieces of porcelain, "Do you like it?" I'm sending you to play, I haven't seen it. ”

Zou Xintong looked at it over and over again, nodded and said, "I really haven't seen it, even if you know it, it won't be just me, those two little girls are also busy today." ”

Xie Bin nodded, "They naturally have compensation, but this is your business, I just need to appease you, haha." ”

Zou Xintong glanced at Xie Bin and said coquettishly: "A small porcelain vase wants to send me away?" Am I so cheap? ”

Xie Bin shouted: "How is it?" Aren't these two pieces? ”

Zou Xintong pursed her lips, looked at the small bowl of Li Kui's case, and said, "Who is this?" Is Zhong Kui who catches ghosts? ”

Xie Bin laughed, "Is this Li Kui good?" Haven't you seen the Water Margin? ”

"Li Kui? I thought it was Zhong Kui Shengjun interrogating the little ghost," Zou Xintong said with a smile, "But I don't like it either, Li Kui is just a fool, only listening to Song Jiang alone, and in the end he was poisoned by Song Jiang, and he is so ugly." ”

Xie Bin smiled, there are many people who don't like Song Jiang, but there are really not many who don't like Li Kui, and Zou Xintong is probably the only one who thinks Li Kui is too ugly. But women, understandable. Just seeing the poem inscribed on the long-necked bottle, Xie Bin felt more pity for Zou Xintong in his heart.

Although Zou Xintong usually doesn't say it, she still giggles every day, but since she knew what happened to Zou Xintong, Xie Bin has been extra careful in this regard, trying not to have some topics that are easy to stimulate her in front of Zou Xintong.

And a poem on the long-necked bottle, although the beginning is a scene, but it quickly relays the sorrow of people in a foreign land, and at the end, it also writes the scene of the woman leaning on the building.

But Zou Xintong touched the last two points, especially the last sentence, although it was only roughly written, "Whose red sleeves are in Jianglou?" But if you think about it carefully, you can still feel some differences, especially when this poem only writes about the scene, but completely leaves the thoughts and feelings to be expressed in the scenery to the reader to feel and extend, which is easy to cause some thoughtful people to think.

And Zou Xintong is obviously one of them.
