Chapter 125: The Newcomer

Just after the hour, all the students had gathered in the Tiangong Workshop, waiting for Mr. to teach. Waiting for the wine was Mr. Guo, who personally walked in with a new student.

"This Miss Yue Qingzi, I will study and train with everyone in the future, and I hope you will support each other and go hand in hand." After saying a few words, he left the class and let Mr. Yan continue to teach.

Mr. Yan glanced at the new student coldly and motioned for her to sit down in front of the empty work desk. Under the gaze of the audience, Yue Qingzi walked in with his head held high with the toolbox on his back and did not squint, and sat down at the empty table next to Li Jingshan.

Mr. Yan did not pay too much attention and instructions, only let the students start to do the work, yesterday's homework was not qualified, all of them were sent back to work, and those who passed the homework began to create the next piece of jewelry.

"Today is August 17, if you don't hand in five qualified works before the end of the month, this month's evaluation results will be judged to be unqualified!"

Everyone didn't dare to breathe, and obediently lowered their heads to work.

Li Jingshan lowered her head and looked up while she was busy, and saw the new students next to her, staring at the dazzling array of carving knives and chisels in the toolbox. That blank look was like looking at a whole new world.

Li Jingshan glanced at her hands: those hands were delicate and white, with pointed jade fingers, and excellent maintenance, and they were pampered hands that had never done any work.

Li Jingshan's heart chuckled. She didn't have time to think about it, so Yue Qingzi came over, "Hey, let me ask you, how should these knives and shovels be used?" ”

Li Jingshan: "............" This girl actually called the plane carving knife a shovel! If Mr. Yan hears it, will he be thrown out of the Heavenly Workshop directly?

Li Jingshan hurriedly raised her eyes and looked around, searching for Mr. Yan's figure. But I saw Mr. Shen standing outside the workshop, and Mr. Shen was talking to him. Mr. Yan listened expressionlessly, but his brows furrowed slightly.

This girl has a lot of background. Li Jingshan was secretly vigilant.

"You don't care about those tools for now, and I'll teach you to recognize them after class. Do you see the thick and thin gold threads on the table now? Use those threads to make nice patterns. ”

Li Jingshan pointed out in a low voice, and pointed out the half-finished products she had made to her, thinking that she would help her cope with her first homework first.

"Ahem!"

Mr. Yan had already walked up to their table at some point, and warned with a soft cough.

Li Jingshan hurriedly turned her head to fiddle with her work. Yue Qingzi returned to his work case unhurriedly.

Li Jingshan glanced carefully from the corner of her eye, and saw Mr. Yan standing next to Miss Yue's table, whispering to her the names and uses of various tools!

Well, Li Jingshan thought, it was she who was worried.

Sure enough, when it was time for Youzheng to get out of school, the new student Yue only had a broken flower and two crooked little snails. And Mr. Yan also put away the homework without saying a word.

As soon as Mr. left the class, the students began to discuss the new student and came to a unanimous conclusion: This Yue girl's identity is not simple, I don't know which lady from a big family, she entered Tianqiao Hall by walking through her relationship.

"It's really strange, being a craftsman is not an official, and hard work has no status. There are even people who let the nobles not do it and come to learn craftsmen? Zhuang Runqing bit a piece of beef, "Tsk, today's beef is a little old." ”

Although his face was full of disgust, he did not delay him from pulling piece after piece of meat into his mouth.

"One kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people. People who think about anything have it. Ye Qing sandwiched a green vegetable, "Besides, excellent craftsmen, their status and making money are no worse than being officials, you don't have to be arrogant." ”

This is true. As an official in the Dalang Dynasty, even if he is a five-grade governor and manages a large state capital yamen, the monthly salary is only four or five taels of silver per month, and when Li Jingshan was the steward of Jingbao Pavilion in Minzhou, he got four taels of silver in the monthly dividend alone, which is almost the same as a state official.

Moreover, the Dalang Dynasty did not specifically suppress merchants and craftsmen, and walked on the road as a businessman, and did not feel inferior to others. Its atmosphere is so generous, but it can be seen that the dignified Li Ge Lao of the Hanlin Academy is also willing to marry the Ruan family.

Li Jingshan also nodded, "Besides, we craftsmen create beauty with our hands. Most people in this world are still willing to pursue beautiful things. There was once an emperor who ignored the government and only loved to do carpentry work, and built a whole carpentry workshop in his palace. ”

"Poof!" Wang Minzhi squirted out a mouthful of soup that had just been drunk in his mouth, "Is there really the kind of emperor you said?" Choose a carpentry master to be the emperor, and that country won't be called the carpentry country, right? ”

Li Jingshan smiled faintly, thinking that there were many emperors in history who did not do their jobs, but there was more than one carpentry emperor.

She sandwiched a piece of meat for Wang Minzhi, "So, it is our luck to meet the emperor who is diligent and loves the people, cherish the blessings and do your part." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Meng Shu look up at him. Li Jingshan followed her gaze and saw the newcomer Yue Qingzi girl walking by with a dinner plate, and she didn't know if she had listened to those words just now.

Everyone secretly stuck out their tongues and hurriedly buried their heads in the rice.

Wang Minzhi looked at the meat in his bowl and sandwiched it into Zhuang Runqing's bowl, "Girl, I'm going to lose weight recently, so this meat will be cheap for you." ”

"Okay, I've got it." Zhuang Runqing didn't see it, and happily put the meat into his mouth.

After dinner, everyone went back to their dormitories. Li Jingshan and Meng Shu walked to the door of Youlan Garden, Meng Shu suddenly stopped, nodded her chin forward, and motioned for Li Jingshan to look over.

I saw that in the Yuzi room next to their yellow house, the lights had been lit. Na Yue Qingzi stood in front of the door and seemed to be waiting for someone. When he saw them coming, he smiled happily, "You're back, I'm waiting for you." ”

Li Jingshan and Meng Shu: "......"

Meng Shu jumped over, "Do you live next door?" Didn't you say this afternoon that you were going to teach me about those tools? ”

This last sentence was addressed to Li Jingshan. Li Jingshan nodded in embarrassment, "It's just that in the afternoon class, didn't Mr. Yan already explain it to you?" ”

"The old man was old and fierce, and he spoke so fast that I didn't understand a lot. Tell me again. Yue Qingzi's words were fast and urgent, and they sounded crisp like big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate. As he spoke, he reached out to pull Li Jingshan.

Li Jingshan hurriedly said, "The toolboxes are all in the workshop, and if you can't bring them back, I can't tell you out of thin air." ”

"Then let's go to the workshop. I asked, and students are allowed to practice at night. ”

"......" Li Jingshan was speechless, and said in her heart that you have not been here for a long time, but you have inquired very clearly.

She looked at Meng Shu pleadingly, Meng Shu had an expression of "you can clean up the things you messed with", completely ignored the entanglement of the two of them, and opened the door and entered the room by herself.

Li Jingshan sighed helplessly, and followed Yue Qingzi out, "Let's talk about it first, the Lingering Garden will close at the latest, and we must come back before the morning." ”

Yue Qingzi happily responded and walked in front of him. Li Jingshan was infected by her vitality and also showed a shallow smile.

This extra "teaching" really talked about the beginning of the year.

Li Jingshan has realized what "zero-based teaching" is. Yue Qingzi didn't understand anything except some basic names. Even the flower knife used for engraving and the straight knife used for jade carving are not clear. In the end, Li Jingshan only explained to her the few tools she needed to use to practice tired silk recently.

"You get to know these things first. Tomorrow, I will ask Mr. Yan about the thickness of the gold wire. That's it for tonight. Li Jingshan explained while packing up the toolbox. When I looked up, I saw Miss Yue holding the dust brush and looking at it carefully.

Yue Qingzi saw Li Jingshan glaring at her, and smiled nonchalantly, "This little brush looks like a powder brush for makeup." ”

Li Jingshan quickly packed up her toolbox and replied casually: "Aren't they all powdered." If you want to use it for makeup, you can do it. ”

When she picked it up and looked up, she couldn't help but caress her forehead and was speechless. Yue Qingzi still held the stucco and laughed stupidly.

"Miss Yue, the Lingering Garden is about to close." Li Jingshan walked to the door and saw that the girl had not moved, so she kindly reminded.

Yue Qingzi hurriedly put away the toolbox, "Oh, here it is." ”

Li Jingshan sighed silently in her heart. Spend an evening on her own, telling this girl the names and uses of various tools, and perhaps she only remembered this "puff" that could be used to sweep powder and apply makeup. Then she might as well learn to sing and learn what jewelry craftsmanship she has.

Even if she gave a small stove class to the noble girl for free at night, she still had to get up early on the second day to face Mr. Yan's poisonous comments and endless craft exercises. As usual, her homework was criticized for nothing and redone.

At this time, she finally knew that when she was in Minzhou, what Master Xie Baizi said that her handicraft skills were ordinary had once again been ruthlessly confirmed.

In the face of the fact that most people start by technology,Step by step into this top craft school park,I started by designing patterns,And the handicraft I learned,Just rely on Miss Li before the crossing,The skills saved in the years of learning in the Si Zhen Fang,It's not enough to see at all.。

She had to spend more time on practice than the other trainees. So in addition to eating and sleeping time, Li Jingshan spent a lot of time in the workshop.

Fortunately, in this first stage, she practiced the silk technique, and among her friends, Ye Qing and Meng Shu were both masters, and the two of them usually instructed her on methods and skills. However, the strange thing is that as long as Ye Qing is present, Meng Shu will find all kinds of excuses to leave, and she has never been together to guide her.

At the end of August, when the assignment results were announced, Lai Jingshan unsurprisingly took an ugly, third-to-last score. In contrast, Yue Qingzi, who was a mess by hand, turned out to be the second-to-last!

Of course, this does not mean that her skills are better than those of the last student. It's that even the student at the bottom knows that this master's status is beyond the world, and he won't use the same set of judging criteria as them at all. Even if people roll the gold wire into twist and hand in their homework, they will definitely pass the test.

And so the days flowed into September.

At noon that day, Li Jingshan hurriedly returned to the workshop to practice after eating, but soon someone came to inform her that someone was looking for her outside the door.

When she went out, she saw Ruan Shu standing outside the gate of the school park and smiling at her, with two big bamboo baskets at her feet.
