On April 18, the twilight of spring has passed, and the miscanthus seed has begun to grow.

Nguyen Minh Yu's oil wall 2 rode a carriage and stopped in front of the Ming Duc Gate in the northeast corner of the palace. Ruan Mingyu got out of the car, turned around and stretched out his hand.

Li Jingshan took his hand and got out of the car, and was about to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by Ruan Mingyu, put it on the lips and kissed it.

Li Jingshan's face was crimson, she didn't expect this disciple to dare to be so presumptuous in front of the palace gate, and glared at him angrily. But in exchange for Ruan Mingyu, he smiled even more.

"I'll send you in." Ruan Mingyu took Li Jingshan's hand and walked towards the palace gate. There was the sound of a carriage sparkling from behind, and the people from Si Zhenfang also arrived.

Ruan Mingyu paused and watched Li Zhiqing get out of the car, a thin smile on the corner of his mouth. He took two quick steps to greet him, "Shopkeeper Li, are you still satisfied with that day's gift?" ”

Li Zhiqing thought of the bloody arm on the counter, and he felt sick to his stomach, and replied with a straight face, "Shopkeeper Ruan is too polite." Your store is understaffed, so you should have kept the gift for your own use. ”

Ruan Mingyu couldn't hear that he was sarcastically saying that there was only one person in the Treasure Hunt. He smiled disapprerovingly, "Talent is not expensive." Besides, does that kind of thing dare to be called a human hand? The ghost hand is pretty much the same. ”

Third Young Master Ruan's tea art is also the second in the capital with a modest attitude, and when it comes to the kung fu of intimidating people, he dares to be the first. One sentence made Li Zhiqing's face pale, he held it for a long time, flicked his sleeves and snorted, and took the lead in entering the palace gate.

Ruan Mingyu turned around, but saw Li Jingshan looking at Li Zhiqing's back, thoughtful.

He deliberately asked, "What's wrong?" I'm robbing your own family, are you unhappy? ”

Li Jingshan shook her head and sighed, "In the art journey, if you want to make achievements, your vision and mind are indispensable. But the big shopkeeper of Si Zhenfang is such a heartfelt...... The future of Si Zhenfang is in doubt. ”

Ruan Mingyu was silent for a moment, and then smiled with relief, "Flowers are impermanent, and the moon is impermanent." It's normal for a store to have ups and downs. No need to be sad. ”

Li Jingshan also laughed and nodded, "Yes." Luckily, we're working hard to take the game to its glory. ”

Ruan Mingyu grabbed Li Jingshan's shoulder with satisfaction, and said arrogantly: "Go!" To create our brilliance! "Facing the rising sun, I walked towards the vermilion palace gate.

----

The competition between the Si Zhen Fang and the Jing Bao Pavilion was carried out in the workshop of the Si Zhen Bureau in the palace. The first is free design.

At the beginning of the day, the steward of the Si Zhen Bureau came in with a red sandalwood tray where the topic was placed.

"The eighth day of June is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the two masters carve an ornament as a birthday gift with jade as the main material. Within five days, if you do not complete it within the time limit, the results will be invalid! ”

The craftsmen on both sides walked into the two opposite workshops and lowered the bamboo curtains. Li Jingshan looked at the materials placed on the workbench, a half-foot-high ice jadeite, the water head is excellent, like a spring water condensing, from the inside to the outside of the polish.

Such a thorough and clear material, if it is used to carve Fulu birthday star and the like, it cannot be called the transparency of the material, but it is a pity. Li Jingshan thought, but what other patterns can be used to express the meaning of birthday celebrations?

Li Jingshan thought hard for half a morning before she started to draw a sketch, and spent another afternoon revising it, and when the draft was finally finalized, the first day passed like this.

During the five days of the competition, Li Jingshan ate and lived in the Sizhen Bureau, and was not allowed to leave. After dinner, when she picked up the lamp and typed the line drawing on the jade overnight, she looked up at the workshop opposite, which also showed bright lights.

I wonder what kind of surprise the other party will give her? The thought was fleeting.

Li Jingshan has been looking forward to a dignified competition with Si Zhenfang. It has nothing to do with any personal grievances, just because, whether it is store management or jewelry craftsmanship, Si Zhenfang once represented the highest peak of the jewelry industry.

Just as Ruan Minh Yu took surpassing Si Zhen Fang as his goal when he first ran Jing Bao Ge, Lai Jing Shan also took the manufacturing process of Si Zhen Fang as his own transcendence goal.

Ever since she crossed over into this world and recognized her identity as a jeweller, this dream has taken root in her heart. Now it has taken her six full years to finally stand on this platform that can compete with Si Zhenfang.

Regardless of the final victory or defeat, she will have no regrets after doing her best. This is not only to realize an ideal that has been going on for many years, but also to give the greatest respect to this strongest opponent.

On the second day, the knife began to carve. First, the outline is cut out with a large carving knife, and then outlined by the line drawing with a small carving knife, and finally carved by the chamber, and a hundred bats offering life bottle gradually takes shape.

Li Jingshan modified the traditional pattern of 100 bats offering life, and the posture of the bat is no longer to hug the word Shou, but the posture has its own stretch, interspersed with each other between the words of Shou, so that the pattern is more flexible, and the auspicious clouds and peach branches are interspersed. She remembered that the Queen Mother was 60th birthday this year, and at the bottom of the jade vase was a row of deer with different images.

On the last day of polishing, rinse gently with washed jade sand and water to bring out the luster of the jade color. The polished jade bottle is as bright and moist as a layer of oil.

On April 23, on the table of the Eight Immortals in the main hall of the Internal Affairs Office, two works of the Treasure Pavilion and the Si Zhenfang were placed in the red sandalwood tray. Trade Winds Literature Network

On either side of the guest seats sat the heads of the workshops of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau and the Ceramics Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who were invited to judge the merits of the two works as today's case masters.

Yue Zangfeng, the head of the Sizhen Bureau, did not act as a case master because he wanted to avoid suspicion, but could only stand behind the guests with the shopkeepers and craftsmen of the two stores.

At noon, the sunlight poured down from the window in the center of the caisson on the roof of the hall, shining right on the two works, shining brightly on the jade carvings.

"The concubine has arrived!"

Everyone stood up to greet them, and Concubine Lan smiled and saluted everyone, "Don't look at the palace, such a beautiful jade carving, let the prince and the court be dazzled, you also come to taste it and give the palace some guidance." ”

After receiving the order, all the case masters gathered around the table of the Eight Immortals and took a closer look. Li Jingshan was also attracted by the jade carvings of Si Zhenfang and couldn't take her eyes off.

It was a basket of flowers. The peony camellia and other flowers in the flower basket are all lifelike, and it seems that the wind will sway slightly. However, what surprised Li Jingshan the most was that the flower basket was dazzling, and the sunlight seemed to release all the brilliance of the jade itself.

Li Jingshan stared at the basket of flowers and pondered how she could carve such a dazzling work. She was so engrossed in her mind that she was completely unaware of the people around her and the passage of time

"Mother is asking you." Ruan Mingyu gently poked her with his elbow.

Li Jingshan suddenly came back to her senses, all the case masters had already finished tasting and were about to go to the side hall to discuss the results, while Concubine Lan was sitting on the seat drinking tea. She hurriedly bowed and confessed, "What do you command?" ”

Concubine Lan was kind and said with a smile: "I have seen you, at the palace banquet the year before last, you entered the palace with the county lord of Anping?" ”

"Niangniang has a good memory, she is a folk girl." Li Jingshan didn't know why the concubine suddenly asked, so she had to respond respectfully.

"Yan'er has a piece of snowflake jade pendant, and the other side is the red sun, which you also carved, right?"

"The craftsmanship is simple, thanks to the Fourth Highness who will not give up."

Lan Guifei stretched out her hand and pulled her to her side, "Don't be restrained." Bengong is just curious, you are young, you look quiet and quiet, you are actually a jewelry master with unique skills. What a hero. ”

Li Jingshan blushed slightly, "Thank you for your love, you have won the award." ”

Lan Guifei nodded slightly, let go of her hand and let her retreat, looked around at the case masters, and said slowly: "I have to work for you." ”

Only then did Li Jingshan understand that Lan Guifei had just said a few words to support her and Jingbao Pavilion. Si Zhenfang and Yue Zangfeng have been in the Si Zhen Bureau for many years, and Si Zhenfang has also cooperated too much with the court. Therefore, Si Zhenfang can be said to have taken advantage of the people and advantages.

But now that Lan Guifei is showing goodwill to Li Jingshan, so that everyone can see it, she has to consider how much face the concubine has to consider when reviewing, and she is too outrageous to defend Si Zhenfang and disregard fairness, so she probably doesn't dare to do it.

Li Jingshan hurriedly thanked Concubine Lan again, and Concubine Lan stretched out her hand to help her up, "You kid is polite." But he smiled with satisfaction.

Li Jingshan glanced at Ruan Mingyu beside her, and saw that the man was smiling and winking at her, and she couldn't bear the pride she had, and floated over with the wind in her eyes.

Sure enough, it was a peacock. Li Jingshan lowered his head, in this palace hall, in front of everyone's eyes, he was still in the mood to be sultry.

Ruan Mingyu quietly approached him, and then under the cover of the wide robe and big sleeves, he quietly took her hand and whispered, "Don't be nervous. ”

The warm big hands, the palms are also tidal. Li Jingshan smiled slightly and gently scratched his palm with her fingers. Ruan Mingyu glanced at her with a smile.

The two of them were in the corner of the main hall of the Internal Affairs Office, and in the tense atmosphere of waiting, they actually created a charming atmosphere around them.

After two cups of tea, the adults walked out of the side room, and the father-in-law in charge of the front held the tray, and the big red seal on it pretended to be a competition.

"Present it, Hongu is also curious."

The father-in-law in charge hurriedly held the big red seal in front of Concubine Daolan.

Lan Guifei opened it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Well, in the free design link, the competition is the craftsmanship of the craftsmen and the precise control of materials. But how do you think about this, please tell this palace. ”

An old man with a goatee came out of the queue and said: "Tang Ying, the head of the Xiaguan Ceramics Bureau, this 'Hundred Bat Birthday' vase has a dignified shape, a smart and vivid pattern, and a smooth and lubricated carved line, which is a rare boutique." ”

Another middle-aged man also came out and explained, "And the picture of a 'Hundred Flowers for Longevity' flower basket is designed to maximize the light sense of the jade itself, and the flowers are lifelike, which can be described as fascinating." It's rare to see such an extraordinary carving. ”

Concubine Lan nodded and said with a smile, "That's really the case." Listening to your comments, the palace suddenly opened. So, now let's ask Mr. Du to announce the results. ”
