Chapter 145: Jade Carving
Yue Qingzi asked in a low voice: "Sister Li, tell me, what is 'removing dirt and strands, turning flaws into yoga'?" ”
"The beauty in the jade is called Yu, and the defects are called flaws. Blemishes are divided into 'dirty', 'cracked', 'locked' and so on. A piece of jade material is mostly flawed and flawed. ”
Li Jingshan used charcoal to trace lines on the jade material, while explaining to her, "A good jade worker knows how to avoid the flaws on the jade through design, and highlight the jade, making the jade more beautiful." Like this one,"
She raised the jade material in her hand, "This piece of red jade must be the material near the blasting point during mining, there are too many cracks, and it is divergent in the center, but the jade quality is good." So I draw a chrysanthemum along these cracks. Just outline the chrysanthemum petals at the cracks. That's a way to turn a flaw into a yoga. ”
Yue Qingzi nodded again and again, "Sure enough!" With such a change, the whole piece of jade seems to be alive! ”
Li Jingshan looked at her and smiled, "This is the joy of learning art, watching a dead thing come to life in your own hands, and even feeling that it is something with temperature and soul, isn't it very fulfilling?" ”
Yue smiled and nodded vigorously.
"I even sometimes feel like a Creator who can give life to things. Even if you pass away one day, the object can prove that you have been here in this world and live in this world in your place. Li Jingshan said that she was a little moved, and stopped looking into the distance.
"Well, Sister Li is amazing, you will definitely be able to do it!" Yue Qingzi jumped up and put one hand around Li Jingshan's neck, smiling coquettishly.
"Hey! Tap, my line drawing is crooked! Li Jingshan smiled and pushed her. When I looked up, I saw Mr. Zhou standing at the door of the workshop.
It's lunch break now, and Li Jingshan didn't expect Mr. Zhou to suddenly appear. Hurriedly pushed Yue Qingzi away, and was about to get up and salute, but saw Mr. Zhou nodding to them, turned around and went out.
Yue Qingzi stuck out his tongue and said, "Did he hear what we said?" ”
Li Jingshan shook her head, "I don't know." "I didn't say anything unsightly after thinking about it, so I didn't pay attention to it and concentrated on painting.

The next day, Mr. Zhou turned in his homework, and Mr. Zhou first looked for Li Jingshan's homework.
It was a piece of red jade that was originally full of cracks, but now it is carved into a jade pendant with chrysanthemum and flower patterns. The picture is a blooming chrysanthemum and flower, and the original cracks are skillfully processed into a trace of petals, and the original flaws are not visible. A brown jade skin is preserved at the bottom of the jade pendant, which is carved into a slightly curly leaf.
Mr. Zhou glanced at the name of the work on the tag - "Aoshuang", and his eyes couldn't help but light up. This leaf is too topical, it is the autumn chrysanthemum that has withered after being beaten by frost, and the flowers are still proud!
It just so happened that at this time, Shen Jian Jian walked in, and Mr. Zhou held up the jade pendant and said with a smile: "Old Shen, look, such a design and handiwork, you look at the details here...... Tsk, this is enough to be rated first-class. ”
Shen Jian Jian took it and looked at it, and said with a smile, "This design is handled cleverly, and it really does the waste skillfully, and the words are flawed." It's a talent. Hey, which student's work is it? ”
"Li Jingshan's." Mr. Zhou was still playing with the jade pendant, and he didn't notice that Shen Jian Key's face had become unnatural.
Mr. Zhou said: "That day, Third Young Master Ruan convened the design steward to adjust the design style of the Treasure Pavilion. ”
Mr. Zhou is a person from the Jingbao Pavilion Treasure Hall, so Ruan Mingyu has not yet announced the business strategy, he got the news first, and said it inadvertently at this time.
Shen Jian Jian didn't hear about it, and asked in surprise, "Ruan Sanshao wants to adjust the design style?" Has such a big matter been discussed by the Senate over there? ”
"Not yet, I've submitted a proposal, and I've heard that it will be officially implemented after the New Year." Mr. Zhou picked up another assignment and began to mark it, and then went around the original topic, "Therefore, our teaching and practice should focus more on design and ingenuity." It's not easy to meet a good seedling like Li Yatou! ”
Shen Jian Jian replied without any further talk.
In the homework review the next day, Li Jingshan got the first first grade since studying in Tianqiaotang. His works were highly praised by Zhou Xianshang in the classroom, so much so that he used them as a model to explain to the students how to "turn flaws into yoga".
Mr. Zhou concluded, "Whether it is turning flaws into yoga or making waste materials, it is based on the application of materials. Only by fully understanding the temperamental characteristics of jade can we turn the stubborn stone into a masterpiece. There is a saying in making an article: the article is made by nature, and the magic hand is even obtained. In fact, the same is true of jade carving, those wonderful hands are the work of manpower to create nature, and finally become a peerless work. ”
Li Jingshan chewed the gentleman's words carefully, as if she had an understanding, and did not notice a cruel gaze behind her, and was staring at her coldly.
After Mr. Zhou's comments, he arranged the new assignments as usual. Everyone still has to be busy with scores and rankings. However, when I was working in the afternoon, there was a lot of commotion and chaos in the workshop.
Now in the harsh winter, there is a fire in the workshop. Li Jingshan's work plan was against the wall, and there happened to be a fire tray behind it.
In the afternoon, she was in front of the jade bed, and there was a loud bang behind her, and she was so frightened that her hands trembled, and her fingers almost rolled into the car. She withdrew her hands in alarm, and was about to stand up to see the situation by the table, when a dark shadow behind her screamed and pounced, pressing her to the table.
She couldn't hold the weight behind her, so she could only try to turn sideways and avoid the jade bed pounced on the table. Behind him was the sound of ping-pong and the screams of the students.
Li Jingshan was pressed so that her eyes turned black, but fortunately, someone quickly pulled away the heavy pressure on her body and helped her up, and someone next to her was busy apologizing to her. It took her a while to figure out what was going on.
It turned out that a student went to get the materials, because he took a lot of things, so he used a tray to bring it back, and he didn't pay attention to kicking the brazier under his feet, the brazier overturned, the things were spilled, and the whole person pounced on Li Jingshan.
It turned out to be an accident, but fortunately there was nothing flammable nearby, and Li Jingshan's sense of self-protection was strong enough to avoid the jade bed twice to keep herself from harm. Seeing that they hadn't caused a big disaster, everyone comforted each other, helped pack up their things, and revealed the matter.
Li Jingshan looked down at the traces of the brazier that still remained on the ground, and wondered in her heart when the brazier was placed in the corner of the wall by herself, and when was it moved to a position close to the side of the road. She followed the trajectory on the ground for a moment, and suddenly her eyes froze.
According to the position of the brazier, if someone accidentally kicked and fell forward, she would definitely be implicated - it was not an accident, but someone deliberately set up a game against her.
Her gaze swept over the students one by one, but she couldn't think of anyone else who would target her after Fu Jinyu left. After thinking about it for a long time, I had to secretly keep an eye on it and put this matter aside for the time being.
-----
The days of December passed quickly, and soon it was the end of the year, and it was time to evaluate the students' results and decide whether they would stay or not. The three gentlemen assessed their results in the side hall.
"Hehe, I'll just say that Li Jingshan is a good seedling." Mr. Zhou took the score book and said happily, "Three grades, two first-class, and one second-class." I think in the future, maybe she will be able to enter the Zhenzhen Hall and work with us. ”
Shen Jian Jian held another overall score book, and his face was cloudy. Guo Xijiu drank tea with a teacup and did not make a sound.
"What, two? Is there something wrong with it? "Mr. Zhou finally tasted something.
Shen Jian Jian coughed lightly, and said, "Elder Zhou, that's the case, this Li student will be sent back to his hometown at the end of the year." ”
"Why?!" Mr. Zhou was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, almost blowing up, "I haven't met such a good talent for many years, why send people back?" ”
"It's ...... The meaning of the old owner of the Treasure Hunt. ”
"Whew! His shop belongs to the store, and my school here belongs to the school, why should he interfere! Mr. Zhou thought that Li Jingshan had offended the people of Jingbao Pavilion, and began to blow his beard and glare, "Such an excellent talent is cultivated, he doesn't want Jingbao Pavilion, naturally there are other shops rushing to ask for it." Don't regret it when the time comes! ”
"Old Zhou, don't be angry first, whether this person leaves or stays depends on her grades." Guo Saijiu plucked the tea leaves with a tea lid and said slowly, "If the results are achieved, there is no reason to force people away." ”
"Yes, yes! That's the reason. Mr. Zhou snatched the score book in Shen Jiankey's hand, "I'll take a look at this girl's results...... What's going on? She didn't get any results in October? ”
Shen Jianjian had no choice but to cause controversy about Li Jingshan's homework in October, so he sent the work to the store for sale, and judged the results by the sales results.
"So, it's been almost two months, and her jewelry hasn't been sold?"
Shen Jian Jian didn't dare to look directly at Mr. Zhou, nodded in response, "The guys in the store haven't come to report, I don't think they were." ”
"Maybe they forgot, I'll go to the store and have a look!" Mr. Zhou said that he was about to take his cloak and go out.
"Hey, I said Elder Zhou, these schoolwork haven't been judged yet." Shen Jian Jian hurriedly stopped the person, "If you leave, these homework assessments will have to be delayed again." ”
"If you want to ask about the situation, you are not in a hurry at this time, and it is not too late to go tomorrow." Guo Xijiu also said, "Elder Zhou will complete the schoolwork with the two of us today." ”
"yes, yes, exactly." Shen Jian Jian hurriedly pulled Mr. Zhou back, not forgetting to give Guo Xianjiu a grateful glance. Guo Xijiu just picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, and continued to look at the evaluation of the students in front of him.
The sun sets early in winter, and the casual workers in Tianqiao Hall are also early. Shen Jian Jian went out and turned directly onto the road to Jingbao Pavilion. Before the time when the Jingbao Pavilion was in charge of the lights, the guys in the store greeted him and greeted him warmly, "Mr. Shen, come first on this cold day to drink tea and warm up your body, what do you want to see, the small one will be brought to the warm pavilion for you, and you will be shown slowly." ”
"I don't look at anything." Shen Jian Jian waved his hand and said, "Where did you place the set of white begonia jewelry that was sent here for consignment two months ago?" ”
