"Ashu, this is really not an easy job," Li Jingshan sighed, "Why are you so obsessed with weapon improvement design?" ”

Meng Shu's eyes darkened, and the solemn emotions were hidden in her deep eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "You may not have relatives in the army, and you don't know the importance of good weapons. However, I know it very well. ”

"Do you have anyone in your family who is in the army? Is it someone close to you? Li Jingshan was surprised.

Meng Shu rarely talked about her family affairs, she only knew that Meng Shu was a concubine, with an average status in the family, and she also left home early to stand on her own. It is not often for her to go back during the New Year's holidays, and even family letters are rarely sent. Sometimes Li Jingshan can't help but think that she still has a mother and a younger brother, and Meng Shu seems to be an orphan. But with Meng Shu's upbringing, it is by no means an orphan.

"It's a long story."

Meng Shu sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and said slowly: "The Meng family is also a scholarly family in Changzhou, and the past dynasties have attached great importance to the imperial examination. It is only because women did not participate in the imperial examination that the patriarchal atmosphere in the clan is serious. I am the daughter of the family, with an older brother and younger siblings, and my mother is a soft ......."

She smiled faintly, "In such an environment, the situation of our mother and daughter can be imagined. ”

Li Jingshan's heart was blocked, and she silently held Meng Shu's hand. Meng Shu pulled out her hand, holding the cup with only one hand, absorbing the warmth of the hot tea. Liang Jiu continued: "Fortunately, my mother has a younger brother who is on an errand in the army, and he comes to see our mother every once in a while. Bring some rice, flour, grain and oil, or beat the men in the family, so that our lives are more comfortable. I was able to enter the clan school, and he fought for me. ”

However, the good times were short-lived.

When Meng Shu was ten years old, Dalang invaded the border against the Rong tribe in the north, and Meng Shu's uncle happened to be on the border and encountered a large-scale siege battle. The Dalang soldiers will defend the border city to the death. Finally the peace of the north has been preserved. However, a few months later, Meng Shu's uncle was sent back to his hometown, but only half of his life remained.

"Oh, your uncle was a shield infantryman, and he was almost killed by a stray arrow," the tall and sturdy man lay on the bed and coughed and laughed mockingly, "It's a shame to say, is our Dalang's shield made of straw?" ”

Meng Shu's face was still flat, but the surging emotions in her eyes had already betrayed her mind, and her voice was not calm, "That stray arrow pierced the shield and stabbed his lungs again. He tossed and turned in bed in agony for two years, and still went. When he left, he was so thin that he only had a handful of bones left. ”

She looked up at Li Jingshan, her eyes scorching brightly, "Ah Shan, I want to improve the weapon, but I don't want this to happen like my uncle again." I don't want to know how to break the formation and kill the enemy, at least I can really protect the soldiers of Dalang and let them go home safely! ”

Li Jingshan looked at her silently, took her hand for a long time, and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will take you to see General Chu." ”

Meng Shu let out a sigh of relief, and also held her back hard, "Ah Shan, thank you for your success." ”

Chu Tiankuo listened to Li Jingshan's statement, looked at Meng Shu scrutinically for a long time, and finally nodded, "Then there is Miss Lao Meng in this matter." ”

It was so easy to achieve, but Meng Shu was surprised, "Won't the general take another test for me?" ”

Chu Tiankuo waved his hand, "No need, since it was recommended by Li Niangzi, I believe it will not be bad." ”

Meng Shu was so happy that she curtfell on her knees, "Thank you to the general, the people's daughter will definitely live up to the general's expectations!" ”

was helped up by Chu Tiankuo, "It's just that if you want to go to the Foundry Bureau to walk around, you need to ask the Ministry of War for a token." I also learned about this matter, and the four princes will be called. ”

"Then there's General Lao Chu."

Li Jingshan saw Meng Shu's eyes looking at Chu Tiankuo, her heart moved, and she pushed Meng Shu to Chu Tiankuo's side, and said with a smile, "The general will know that my sister is more clever than me when we get along in the future." ”

Chu Tiankuo's dark face showed a hint of embarrassment, but Meng Shu was cool and generous, and replied: "Please take care of the general." ”

Li Jingshan looked left and right at the two of them, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. Perhaps, there will be an unexpected gain in this matter.

-

With these two important matters decided, Li Jingshan finally devoted herself to the design of the national gift. Every day, when I answered the book at the Sizhen Bureau, I went to the Greek workshop to communicate with Kareis.

The two discussed each other's craftsmanship and exchanged various forms of artistic expression, one moment they got together and whispered to a picture, and the other they quarreled over a material. To outsiders, they don't look like rivals competing with each other, but like classmates from the same school.

Their discussions focused only on the technical processes of the two countries, and did not touch on the respective design options in the slightest. However, in the case of artists such as Lai Ching-shan and Karis, they can already guess some clues from the topics that the other party is interested in, at least the way they express themselves can be figured out one or two.

"What, Karis, have you already decided, with some emerald craft?"

On this day, Li Jingshan deliberately set up Karis's words, "You have studied the most diligently recently, but you are a little green and burnt blue." ”

"Haha, you guessed it." Karis was unimpressed, and said with a smile: "Originally, the requirement of the national gift was to use the craftsmanship of the two countries at the same time. Naturally, I still focus on sports techniques, and your country's burnt blue and dotted emerald craftsmanship is the most chic and elegant, and I am planning to use this as an auxiliary embellishment. Do you think it's good? ”

Karis is innocent and open-minded, without scheming, and asks extremely naturally.

Li Jingshan smiled, and was willing to tell her honestly, without hiding her selfishness: "If you show the characteristics of rigidity, it is better to use burnt blue; If you want to show off the softness and lightness, then the dotted emerald is more suitable. It depends on your specific design. ”

Karis snapped his fingers and said cheerfully, "I made a note of it." Ah Shan, what about you? How are you going to do that? ”

"I......" Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, pretending to smile mysteriously, "Don't say, don't say." ”

Karis was stunned for a moment, but didn't care, but said embarrassedly, "Shouldn't I ask?" I have forgotten your tradition, which is called ...... 'Fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.'" Right? I'm so sorry. ”

Li Jingshan: Is this the common saying "............" used in the past? She couldn't be sure either.

When Li Jingshan came out of the workshop, she was also confused. It's not that she refuses to tell Karis about her plans, but she doesn't have a design plan at all.

Perhaps because she is already familiar with her own craftsmanship and has a thorough understanding of Greek techniques, Li Jingshan doesn't know how to combine the two.

Or rather, how to put it together creatively.

She had conceived more than a dozen drafts of the plan, but she had rejected them herself.

Nothing new. She drew conclusions to herself.

The Dalang Dynasty is different from Heathrow. The dotted green and burnt blue were regarded as elegant and noble symbols in the Dalang Dynasty, and the mechanism was in the ascendant at this time, and it was winning the love of the nobles in Beijing. The combination of these two skills, when supplemented by novel design solutions, is not difficult to win the favor of the public.

The problem for Li Jingshan is that the national gifts she designed for the Heathrow Kingdom are already familiar with the tricks she needs to use in Greece, and she cannot design a more exquisite design that surpasses the Greek country.

In addition, the jewelry craft of the Dalang Dynasty is full of flowers, and everyone has a benevolent opinion on these crafts, and there is no one kind of craft that is unique and favored by most people. Therefore, it is also difficult to think about what basic process to use.

She discussed these confusions with Yue Zangfeng. Yue Zhangshi thought for a while, and said loudly, "Basic technology, choose the one you are best at." ”

What do you do best?

Li Jingshan recalls the days when she studied art at Tianqiao Hall. At that time, her silk skills were not as good as Ye Qing and Meng Shu, her jade carving skills were not as good as Yue Zangfeng's, and her cui skills were not as good as Wang Minzhi...... Her strength lies in her comprehensive strength, and she can give full play to the point of every skill to the extreme, relying on her design patterns.

In this way, Li Jingshan sighed in her heart: what she is best at is pattern design.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Mingyu stood in front of the dresser, helped Li Jingshan remove the hairpin ring on her head, and laughed loudly, "Isn't it your design ability that I valued the most?" This is a specialty that no one else can achieve. Do you remember, I said that craftsmanship is just a form of design insight. The real attraction lies in the design itself. ”

Li Jingshan's hand untied the earrings for a moment, and vaguely grabbed something, but it flew away like a white horse passing through a gap.

Ruan Mingyu's fingers moved to his head and continued to massage this, "I see, your master has the same vision as the hero of the husband, and it is precisely because of your extraordinary design talent that I chose you to preside over the design of the national ceremony." ”

Li Jingshan thought for a moment, and a wry smile spread across the corners of her mouth. Now, even the creative designs that she is most proud of seem to be far away from her.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Ruan Mingyu put his hand on the woman's shoulder and neck, and massaged her softly, "Isn't there still time, ponder slowly, there will always be a way." ”

These words only got Li Jingshan's weak "um".

Ruan Mingyu knew that this comfort had not been implemented, and after thinking about it, he said, "I really can't think of it, there are only two ways to expand ideas: seeking solutions from nature, or seeking wisdom to solve puzzles." ”

Both of these methods have been used, but now ......

"If you can't find a subject, you can't solve it from nature; And seek the wisdom to solve the doubts" Li Jingshan spread her hands and looked at Ruan Mingyu, "Aren't I just asking you, the 'wise man', to solve now?" ”

Ruan Mingyu laughed, "Don't dare to be." If you can't ask our 'wise men' for answers, you can still seek answers like 'dead' wise men. ”

"Dead Wise?"

Ruan Mingyu smiled proudly: "The vast classics are the efforts of the wisdom of the ancients, and they can be used well. ”

"yes, how did I forget!" Li Jingshan almost jumped.
