Diancui has half a day of work every day to go to the workshop to learn how to make hairpins, which is the grace given by Wu himself. Now that Diancui is going to the workshop again, in addition to being an apprentice, he also has a new purpose, that is, to secretly check what kind of secrets were hidden in the hairpin in the workshop.

The jewelry workshop at home, just like the Angelica Pavilion shop, large and small workshops are also all over the world.

The masters and craftsmen in the workshops in various places are selected from the general workshops in the capital and then sent to various places. On weekdays, the new jewelry sold by the shop every quarter, the style drawings are also negotiated by several masters in the Miaoshou Pavilion, and then selected by the Wu family and sent to the major workshops for production. If it is a very valuable and extraordinary head, or it is entrusted by the nobles in the palace, it will be made by the master of the Miaoshou Pavilion.

As for the Miaoshou Pavilion, it is the exquisite, quiet and elegant annex pavilion behind the workshop compound, but it is the most noble place in the workshop that symbolizes honor and status.

People who have entered the Miaoshou Pavilion, in addition to two sets of Hangzhou silk brocade clothes in the four seasons every year, the master has a monthly salary of 30 taels, and the apprentice has a monthly salary of 10 taels, and at the end of the year, the master has a dividend! You must know that the monthly salary of a seven-grade official in this dynasty is only ten taels of silver!

The monthly money is not the most attractive, as long as you enter the Miaoshou Pavilion, the slaves get rid of the slaves on the spot, and those who have brothers and grandchildren in the family will all enter the home-returning school to study.

You must know that the homecoming clan has a generational friendship with the Confucianism in Beijing, and the gentlemen invited are also really talented and learned.

Although for some unspeakable reasons, the Wu clan is not close to other branches of the clan, but she has always had a large amount of money supplied by the school back home, so she still has a lot of say in arranging a few people to enroll.

Miaoshou Pavilion, now there are three masters in it, one is the last Wu's birthday banquet won the first place Master Zhou, one is located in the lady, and the other is Liu Niangzi, Master Zhou and Yu Niangzi are the old people who have returned to the workshop, and the qualifications are deep enough, Liu Niangzi has not long entered the Miaoshou Pavilion, the qualification is slightly worse but the ability is not inferior at all, in addition to the hairpin making there is also an excellent Danqing skill.

If you want to enter the Miaoshou Pavilion, in addition to the outstanding hairpin-making talent and craftsmanship, you are lucky to become the only apprentice of the master, and a master in the Miaoshou Pavilion only takes one apprentice in his life.

It's a pity that now these three masters also have their own apprentices, so it is even more difficult to enter again.

Even Su Xue, as the steward of the workshop, can't enter and leave the Miaoshou Pavilion at will, let alone a junior apprentice like Diancui, who has just arrived and only studied for half a day.

However, the hairpin is an extraordinary hairpin, it represents the bloodline of homecoming, and the lady cannot hand it over to the workshop, it must be personally participated by the master of the Miaoshou Pavilion.

No matter how difficult it is, this magic hand pavilion is a must-enter.

"You want to enter the Magic Hands Pavilion?"

Sitting with Diancui is a twenty-eight-year-old young girl named Yueniang, who has a good hand of chiseled flowers, she is kind to Diancui's advice and is also kind and pleasant, never hiding her selfishness, she sees that Diancui often looks at the wonderful hand pavilion in a daze, so she asks questions.

Diancui followed Yueniang, took a small hammer to hammer the chisel knife, and made chisel flowers on a bracelet. With the different chisel knives, some of the chiseled flowers are elegant plum orchid chrysanthemums, and some are rippling peach and apricot begonia flowers.

"Sister Yueniang, do you know how to enter the Miaoshou Pavilion?" Diancui also did not deny her "ambition" to enter the Miaoshou Pavilion.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, it will be a few dozen ...... For more than ten years, I will definitely be able to get in. ”

"More than ten years?" Diancui was shocked.

Yueniang looked at her with some displeasure, she was not nosy, she just felt that she fell in love with this little girl, so she comforted her, she wanted to say for decades, in fact, most of the people here can't get into it for a lifetime, and if you can enter it for more than ten years, it's already very powerful, and this little girl doesn't know how thick the sky is.

She has some talent, but she is not so amazing, and when she comes to the workshop, no one has been willing to guard her as an apprentice, which makes her not embarrassed here.

Because Mrs. did not have any special instructions, Diancui himself knew some filigree skills, but he was not a master in the workshop where he returned home, and no one wanted this halfway apprentice. Although Su Xue is the manager of this workshop, she can't force those bullish masters to accept her as an apprentice.

Fortunately, Diancui's face has never been thin, and his mouth is sweet, knowing that those people are watching him lively, he still seems to be unaware, and he catches people to learn the craft before and after running.

It's quite strange, what she asked for advice was either chiseled flowers, carved gold, or burned blue, flattened, and inlaid...... Skillful in all aspects.

"Sister Yueniang hasn't said how to enter the Miaoshou Pavilion yet?" Diancui still chased after himself and asked, "Is there going to be a competition?" ”

If you really want to compete...... According to the memory of his previous life, Diancui made some novel and popular styles, and it was not impossible to enter the Miaoshou Pavilion, and Diancui was secretly happy in his heart.

Who would have thought that Yueniang shook her head, how could it be so simple as a competition, and she had to compete every day.

"Compete every day? What do you mean by Sister Yueniang's words? Dian Cui asked puzzled.

"You often come to the workshop, do you know that in addition to Sister Su Xue's housekeeper in the workshop, there are three other masters who are specifically staring at the work in our hands, what they do every day, how they do it, and how well or poorly they do compared to others, there are records. In this way, day after day, the three best will be reported to the Miaoshou Pavilion every month, so that after three years, the Miaoshou Pavilion will determine a few best as the new masters of the workshop, and the new ones can be brought with them, and the last ones will be dismissed, and the rest will be honest and ordinary craftsmen. So what is the ability of everyone in our workshop, the above is clearly understood. Is it possible to make a good appearance with one or two pieces of jewelry? Don't be greedy in the future, calm down, how you do, there is a judgment from above. Don't think about going to the Magic Hands Pavilion anymore. Yueniang saw that her mind was unstable, so she simply broke off her delusions and let her learn chisel flowers with peace of mind.

It's so troublesome, Dian Cui sighed on the surface and promised not to be "so ambitious", but in his heart he still didn't think so, the three masters of the Miaoshou Pavilion had never seen him at all, how did he know that he was unwilling to accept himself as an apprentice?

If you have an apprentice, you won't accept it anymore? At the very least, someone needs to sweep and run errands......

Su Xue saw that Diancui was a little depressed, thinking that Grandma Lu would explain that she would take care of her, so she called her to inquire empty.

"Don't blame me for not arranging a master for you to teach you, it's really that your situation is different from others, those masters in our workshop are all proud, and they all have their own characteristics, and the apprentices only like to choose those who are talented and have not been influenced by other families, you are ......" Su Xue wanted to say that she was half-, but she was embarrassed to speak.

The little cui is boring, they also look down on people too much, although the ability to make head jewelry in the homecoming workshop is first-class, but the filigree skills she learned in the Liu family's small workshop are really not bad at all!

Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and he only looked at Su Xue pitifully.

Su Xue was both sympathetic and pitiful by her, and said: "Yes, it's okay if they don't want to teach, if you learn from a master, the tone of your hairpin making will be set in the future, and now I see that you are looking for different people to teach different crafts, which is very smart, gather the heads of all families, better, better ......"

"But not everyone is as good at talking as Sister Yueniang...... Last time, he wanted to learn to burn blue with a master, but he didn't want to ...... "Dian Cui said implicitly, that person was not only unwilling, but also ridiculed Dian Cui fiercely, Dian Cui didn't tell Su Xue, it's not that she has to endure this breath, it's that she didn't find a suitable opportunity."

Diancui has now made perfect use of her coquettish skills, which is not the kind of hypocrisy of being a concubine in her previous life, but also has a hint of girlish cunning and dependence.

I don't know if it works against others, anyway, it works to deal with my own teacher Yuan Zhiheng.

Diancui has lived a lifetime, she knows more, she has learned more, and her face has become several layers thicker, and she can be sweet as honey when she says good things, and she is very handy, and sometimes she can be red and heartbeat when she is asked to lie.

Obviously, Su Xue also ate her coquettishness, and when she heard that someone was so cold, she also knew who it was, so she immediately said coldly: "Don't worry, this blue-burning skill is not the best he has done, tomorrow I will introduce you to Sister Hao, her blue-burning skills are high." At the same time, I gave a cinnabar-colored cross to the person who snubbed the emerald, and the name of this person in the list reported to Miaoshou Pavilion this month was about to be crossed out.

The man didn't know that because of a small point of cui, he had offended Su Xue's steward, if he had known that this was the case, he wouldn't dare to look down on Qi Cui and refuse to ask for help.

With Su Xue's introduction, even if those masters are unwilling to accept some cui as apprentices, it is not difficult to teach one or two skills.

Diancui was happy in his heart, but his face was still wilting.

"Not satisfied, my little aunt, what do you want?" Su Xue has a younger sister in the family, and a little dissatisfaction is the wilting appearance of the frost beating the eggplant in Diancui, because she thought of her sister at home as soon as she saw Diancui like this, and she was speechless.

"Hurry up, how can I not look like this, as long as I can do it, you should do it." Su Xue urged.

Dian Cui was waiting for this, and hurriedly stepped forward to whisper a few words in Su Xue's ear.

"What?!" Su Xue was shocked: "You want to cook food in the backyard?" ”

Diancui nodded, and said with a little blush: "In the past, in the small kitchen of the West Courtyard, I was used to eating with the young masters, but now I run between the small kitchen and the workshop every day, and I will inevitably be hungry at noon......"

Su Xue was relieved when she heard this, and then she was angry and laughed, and pointed her brow with her fingertips, saying that you are a good eater, no wonder the meat on this face is thick again, and said to pinch some of Cui's soft white and pink little face.

Diancui hid with a smile, and the two fought again, until the rest of the workshop came out when they were resting, and Su Xue returned to her usual appearance with a hint of majesty in her eyes.

She is also an eight-sided delicate/long, and she knows that Diancui is different from the maid selected from the mansion next to her, otherwise the lady would not have stayed in the mansion for half a day and asked her to come to learn hairpins. With her attitude towards Diancui, she wouldn't be the same as the other apprentices in the workshop.

Sure enough, at noon on the second day, Diancui carried two delicate snack boxes, followed by the fat girl in the small kitchen, the fat girl helped her carry a stove, a pot, a bundle of neat chopped fine firewood, found a sheltered flat land, the fat girl helped her set up the stove and pot and left.

Diancui looked around at this place and was very satisfied.

It was a small flat land, with a small pavilion, surrounded by several large ginkgo trees, and now it was late autumn, and the branches of the ginkgo trees were intertwined, and the branches and leaves covered the trees, which were golden yellow that covered the sky.

In front of the flat land there is another stream, which is brought in from the outside of the courtyard, and above it is an elaborate wooden bridge.

The front of the stream faces the side back door of Mytekaku.
