However, the bell rang for a full two quarters of an hour, and this Mr. Li Mingfang and Li still did not appear. While the students were looking forward to it, they couldn't help but joke impatiently: "Women, after all, have to dress up, and applying grease and powder must be more time-consuming than men." ”

"I don't know what kind of beauty this gentleman is who captivates the country and the city?" Someone laughed. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw everyone staring behind him with strange expressions.

"Hehe, what's wrong with you, what the hell." The man looked back as he spoke, and the next moment, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

There was a tall woman standing at the door, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face with heavy makeup, which made her eyes blue and black, her face as white as a wall, and her mouth full of blood. Dressed in an emerald green dress that dragged the ground, it was supposed to be as tall as a bamboo, but unfortunately with her tall figure, it was only reminiscent of a pillar painted with green paint.

Li Jingshan quickly glanced at this Mr. Li's outfit, and a word popped up in her mind: red-billed green parrot. She was sorry for her disrespectful thoughts, and she hurriedly lowered her head to hide her eyes, only to find that most of the students around her had similar expressions.

Mr. Li also heard the student's words, his face was as cold as a layer of ice, and he glared at him and said coldly, "Hell? I can make you worse than seeing a ghost! ”

The student was finally well-behaved, and he closed his round mouth with a smile on his face: "Where is the ghost, it is simply the immortal!" Mr. looks like a goddess, and we are all so pleasantly surprised. ”

After speaking, it seemed that he heard the gagging sound of the students behind him. However, for the sake of these two months of academic and grade points, he can't care about it.

He thought that the sycophants had been photographed on this, and he should be able to pass the test. But he didn't want to hear Mr. Li sneer, "It turns out that the heavenly immortals in your lordship's eyes are like this." This blind aesthetic also comes to make jewelry? My class doesn't accept such ignorant people. You, stand outside the door! ”

At this moment, not only the student was dumbfounded, but even the other students were stunned. This Mr. Li not only has a strange appearance, but also has an unpredictable personality. Can't lose, can't praise, no matter how you say it, it's wrong.

Fortunately, except for this episode before the start of class, Mr. Li did not embarrass everyone anymore and finally started the class.

The art of Diancui has been passed down from the Han Dynasty, and the kingfisher, a spirit of freedom and agility in nature, has smeared a strong stroke on the jewelry industry. With its dazzling and vibrant color, fine and unique texture, complex and gorgeous ornamentation, and the rigid luster of metal, the green feather presents a stunning beauty.

"To do a good job of emerald jewelry, you must be careful in the selection of materials. Look, if you go out and are deceived by someone with dyed goose feathers and duck feathers. Don't say it's my disciple Li Mingfang. I can't afford to lose this man! ”

Mr. Li held up the emerald feathers placed in front of him, "There are two kinds of feathers on the kingfisher, and the 'soft feathers' under the body and wings can be used to weave brocade tailoring. For jewelry, there are ten hard feathers on its wings, called 'big strips', and eight tail feathers on its tail, called 'tail strips'. ”

"The color of the big strip is on the bright side, and the tail strip is on the dark side. There is also a closer look at the direction of the feathers. The feathers of the large strips are slightly thicker, while the tail strips are more delicate. ”

Mr. Li asked the students to distinguish the subtle differences between the two, "Therefore, in the same piece of jewelry, it is important not to mix large strips and tail strips. Most of the shoddy dotted emerald jewelry does not distinguish between entries, and is used in a mixed manner, as if it has been patched, and it is as fancy as a pheasant. ”

Li Jingshan couldn't help but glance at Li Mingfang's clothes and makeup, and said in her heart, she was dressed like a red-billed green parrot, and such a subtle blue difference was fancy like a pheasant in her eyes. It's really a specialization in the art industry.

The morning class was spent identifying various emerald feathers.

Due to the different parts of the birth and the different ways of arrangement, the green feathers can show different colors such as banana moon, lake color, and dark navy blue, plus the natural texture and phantom light of the bird feathers. Li Jingshan watched Li Mingfang hold a feather and gently brush it across the surface with a cashmere brush, and the original deep emerald color turned into a deep lake blue.

Everyone exclaimed, is Mr. Li playing tricks? But Li Jingshan knew that it was because the branches of the green feathers were covered with tiny scales, which would refract light. The scales are arranged in different order and the angle at which light is refracted is different, so it will produce different visual effects.

"When will you be able to concoct the emerald color you want as you like, and you will be able to enter the hall at the door of the Dian Cui Gate." Mr. Li dropped such a sentence, and asked the students to identify Cuiyu by themselves, and in the afternoon before school test, they could skillfully distinguish the first few of Cuiyu's "28 articles", and accurately say various levels of blue, so as to pass the test.

The students fried the pot, and they were at a loss for the nuanced blue. If you have the courage to train, try to ask Mr. Li for guidance. That's when the differences between the trainees became apparent.

First of all, Mr. Li treats the students differently: he treats the female students with irrationality, and he treats the male students with a much kinder face. Second, Mr. Li judges people by their appearance: the more beautiful the female students, the more they are not treated by her; For male students, it is just the opposite, the more handsome and dignified, the more she is favored.

For example, the handsome and upright Ye Qing has become Mr. Li's favorite. often has nothing to do in front of Ye Qing's work case, and takes the initiative to instruct him on his identification skills. Even after half a day of class, all the students looked at Ye Qing with strange eyes. And Ye Qing was also helpless in the face of everyone's ridiculed eyes, so he could only pretend to turn a blind eye.

By the evening test, only eight of the twenty-three cadets had passed. What is unexpected and reasonable is that without exception, the people who pass the test are all handsome-looking male students. Among the female students, only Yue Qingzi passed the test.

The rest of the people were all reprimanded by Mr. Li: "If you can't distinguish these feathers tomorrow, you can roll up and go home!" ”

Everyone walked out of the workshop in a gloomy manner, and as soon as they returned to the Lingering Garden, they began to discuss.

"Ye Qing, what secret did Master Li pass on to you, share it quickly, otherwise the brothers will go home tomorrow!"

Ye Qing smiled awkwardly, "I don't have any skills, I still rely on watching more and ......."

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him lazily interjected: "Hmph, what master, it turns out to be a pervert." Hey, seeing that her face is full of wrinkles, and she still wants to fish for a little white face, the family can bear it! ”

Ye Qing immediately shut up, his face was not good-looking.

"What family." Someone laughed and continued, "She doesn't have a marriage match at all, okay, who would dare to marry such a dominatrix?" I'm afraid I'll have nightmares when I hug me at night!"

"Xiaobai! Let Xiaobai marry. Xiaobai can look at her like a fairy. The students burst into laughter.

Xiaobai is the student who slapped Mr. Li's ass today, and finally slapped the horse's leg. He smiled disdainfully when he heard this, "It's still a fairy." I think it's an old witch. The master who can enter the treasure hall is not an ordinary person. And women,"

Xiaobai blinked ambiguously, "You think, how perverted you have to be to reach such a pinnacle of art." And only this is not ...... Well, an old woman who cares for people can do it. ”

Li Jingshan frowned, and she didn't dare to agree with everyone's obscene arguments. She didn't want to listen to it anymore, and turned to leave, but she didn't expect this argument to be echoed by everyone in unison.

"Yes, yes, I think this old woman is usually holding back and has nowhere to vent, so she can only use this energy in her craft."

This caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"You call it a pervert, but I think it's an obsession with art."

In the midst of laughter, a clear Lingling's voice seemed cold and abrupt. The crowd stopped laughing and turned to look at the door. Li Jingshan stood at the door, standing against the light. Everyone couldn't see clearly, only to see that the sunset behind her gilded her figure with a layer of gold edges, which really brought a little bit of the meaning of a mortal fairy.

"With this obsession with art, coupled with talent, you have the conditions to reach the top of the art palace. It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, and it doesn't matter whether it's married or not. ”

Li Jingshan was angry, her voice had lost its usual warmth, and Qingling Ling was like soaking in ice water, "And there are female students in the school, this statement is not only disrespectful to Mr., but also an insult to all female disciples." Please retract such a statement. ”

The male students looked at the indignant female students next to them in embarrassment, and they all shut up. Xiaobai said sneeringly, "I didn't say anything about you." All of you are in your youth. Why compare yourself to that old witch? Besides, could it be that there will be a master here in the future? ”

Li Jingshan knew that he was using the agitation method, so she didn't bother to pay attention to it, and went back to Youlan Garden. I still hold grievances for Li Mingfang in my heart. Although she is not ashamed of some of her actions, she should not use her gender as a weapon against her. At the same time, there is also a trace of sadness, sexism, where, in which era, are all hurdles that women must face.

-----

After knowing Cui Yu for two days, the students finally passed the test and finally began to practice the skills of Diancui.

When making, the gold and silver pieces are first made into a base bracket according to the flower shape, and then a groove is welded along the edge of the pattern flower shape with gold wire, and an appropriate amount of honey, deer glue and other boiled glue is coated in the middle part, and the kingfisher feathers are skillfully pasted on the metal base bracket made of gold and silver to form an auspicious and exquisite pattern. These patterns are generally inlaid with pearls, jadeite, red coral, agate and other gemstones, which are more elegant and noble.

I have to say that in the Diancui process, the women's dexterity showed an advantage at this time, and several female students were obviously faster than the male students. And for those students who are not on the road, Li Mingfang is also extremely sarcastic.

"Your name is Dian Cui, too? Even a chicken feather looks better than this! ”

"The kingfisher fell into your hands, it was really a miserable fate, and it contributed a feather in vain."

"Hey, you dig so much deer glue, do you plan to eat it, or use it to wipe your face."

Very few people can avoid Li Mingfang's poisonous tongue. But there is one exception.
