Chapter 077: Mo Lan on the Sword
"Even if Lao Zhao doesn't sell my face, Brother Qin's face will be sold. Besides, today Xiao Nian, he is alone on the mountain, although you invite early, but it is not as good as us to inviteββ"
Sun Yun saw that the atmosphere suddenly became stiff, so he immediately smiled and helped Zhao De to relieve the siege.
"This one looks very raw, I don't know who you are?"
Seeing Sun Yun accosting Zhao De, Du Mengsheng's eyes looked at Sun Yun, his eyes turned slightly, revealing a bit of alienation and untraced arrogance.
"My surname is Sun Mingyun, just call me Lao Sun, I, Lao Zhao and Lao Qin, we are all old friends for decades-"
Sun Yun was the most plainly dressed in the audience, and it was no wonder that Du Mengsheng looked disdainful.
However, when he heard Sun Yun's name, Du Mengsheng's eyes, which were still a little arrogant, instantly changed to a look of long-admired admiration:
"Original...... It turned out to be Master Sun, who had done an excellent job in filigree inlay, which was really disrespectful and disrespectful. My name is Du Mengsheng, and I am Chengxiang's master craftsman and Yang Shoucheng's apprentice. β
Du Mengsheng's tone immediately became a little tactful, and he hurriedly reported his family and the name of his master.
"Yang Shoucheng, isn't that Lao Qin's junior brother? I think that when our group of people worked together in the filigree inlay factory, Lao Yang was the most scolded among our people. Lao Qin, Lao Zhao, do you all remember? β
After Sun Yun heard that Du Mengsheng's master was Yang Shoucheng, his tone suddenly carried a bit of ridicule and ridicule, and the implication was self-evident.
In the early days of reform and opening up, when they were young men, most of them worked together in the Yancheng filigree inlay factory to learn art, so they had a lot of relationships with each other.
Qiu Chengxiang brought these three people here in the evening, Qin Yi was already angry, and when he heard that Du Mengsheng was actually Yang Shoucheng's disciple, thinking of the festival between their brothers and sisters back then, Qin Yi immediately snorted coldly:
"Yang Shoucheng is a person, don't mention it-"
Qin Yi didn't say much, but as a recognized filigree master, he made a lot of reveries with a single sentence, which made Qiu Chengxiang, who was sitting on the side, change his face suddenly.
The reason why he hired Du Mengsheng as Chengxiang's master craftsman was that he thought that he was not inferior to these old-timers here, but he had just sat down to talk, and the ridicule in and out of these words made him feel quite uncomfortable......
Could it be that you have lost your eyes? Actually regarded prawns as a master?
Qiu Chengxiang's triangular eyes frowned slightly, and he glanced at Du Mengsheng coldly, and Du Mengsheng instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He has specialized in interpersonal relationships over the years, and there are a lot of various skill certificates and various trophies at home, but when it comes to real skills, he can't talk about Sun Yun, even Zhao De here.
When he was first introduced to Qiu Chengxiang, Qiu Chengxiang took a fancy to the certificates he carried with him and the seemingly shiny titles on his body, so he immediately hired him as Chengxiang's master craftsman with a high salary.
These days, he jumped up and down in front of Qiu Chengxiang for various performances, because he was good at studying people's hearts, and quickly pulled Wan Cheng and Gao Yuan into Chengxiang, which made Qiu Chengxiang praise him, and let his son Qiu Hao recognize Du Mengsheng as a master.
But at this moment, as soon as the three old-timers present were exposed, Du Mengsheng suddenly felt a sense of being overstretched, and his old face, which had been thick for nearly forty years, became flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye......
"Master Qin Yi has a very high reputation in the circle, and it is rumored that he is low-key and humble, so I should have called him uncle. It's just that I didn't expect Master Qin Yi's evaluation of my master to be so personal. β
However, Du Mengsheng's craftsmanship is not good, but his eloquence is first-class, and he immediately ridiculed him.
"It's not that I'm biased, I'm just talking about things, I recognize Lao Yang's management ability, but his skills are really not good in our groupββ"
Qin Yi has always been upright, he didn't want to target Yang Shoucheng, but just to talk about things. It's just that he has prestige in the industry, and what he says is undoubtedly equivalent to stamping a conclusion.
"In my opinion, I'm afraid that Master Qin has begun to look down on my master's current status since he became a cripple, right?"
Du Mengsheng's eyes were so red that he blew his nose and glared at him on the spot, saying such disrespectful words to Qin Yi.
When Du Mengsheng attacked Qin Yi as "crippled", Qin Lanzhou just wanted to have a seizure, but Situ Mo, who had been silent, suddenly slapped the table board and stood up "openly":
"Du Mengsheng, please immediately take back the words crippled and red-eyed, and apologize to my master. Otherwise, I will ask you to leave the Moran Workshop immediately. β
Situ Mo, who has always been taciturn, suddenly became angry, and his low and forbearant voice revealed anger, which surprised everyone present.
Qin Lanzhou saw that Situ Mo was the first to stand up for Qin Yi, so he forcibly held back the words that had jumped to his throat.
Qin Yi's body shook, Qin Lanzhou could clearly see that his empty right sleeve shook slightly, Qin Yi's lips pursed, he didn't say anything, just glanced at Du Mengsheng gloomily......
The audience was silent, and everyone was waiting for Du Mengsheng's reflection.
Du Mengsheng's red eyes could not hide the arrogance, and just as he was about to attack, Qiu Chengxiang suddenly coughed heavily, and a thick voice sounded in the room:
"Xiao Du, you can apologize to Master Qin. People are the masters, we are guests, and we can't lose our politeness. β
As soon as Qiu Chengxiang said this, Du Mengsheng, who was about to get up and argue with Situ Mo, had no choice but to sit down, and said to Qin Yi with a glass of wine in a sullen voice:
"Master Qin, I didn't mean to offend just now, I hope you will forgive me-"
Qin Yi didn't even raise his eyelids, and he didn't mean to pick up the wine glass on the table at all.
He has always been arrogant, and he once looked down on Du Mengsheng, a scheming man like him, and he snorted silently in his heart, "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked", and by the way, he despised his little junior brother who had not met again for more than ten years.
Qin Yi was lazy to ignore Du Mengsheng, which made the whole scene even more embarrassing.
Du Caiyu, who was standing on the side, saw this situation, so she picked up her glass of wine and touched it with Du Mengsheng:
"My husband has this stinky temper, come, I'll drink this glass of wine with you. Today is the New Year, everyone is lively, don't hurt the harmony in my house. β
Although Du Caiyu was very angry at Du Mengsheng's disrespectful remarks just now, she still tried to find a way to go back to the situation in front of her, so as not to be even more out of control.
As soon as Du Caiyu said this, Du Mengsheng touched her at this time, and after drinking a glass of wine sullenly, his face was still indignant.
"Come on, come on, since several of them are famous teachers, then Qiu will borrow the treasure land of your Molan Workshop to toast you all. We came in a hurry, and we didn't prepare any generous gifts, so Qiu brought two bottles of Moutai. Xiao Du, open a bottle and pour it for everyone! β
Qiu Chengxiang saw that Du Caiyu was quite knowledgeable, and he had not yet achieved his goal, so he asked Du Mengsheng to bring the two bottles of Moutai he brought, opened one of them, and personally poured a small cup into the wine cup of everyone present.
After Qiu Chengxiang toasted and talked around with everyone, the scene eased down again.
Qiu Chengxiang finished toasting and said with a smile:
"Today we are coming to the Molan Workshop, uninvited, I solemnly invite all of you here, tomorrow to my auspicious gathering. I have fresh venison to share with all of youβ"
Qiu Chengxiang immediately sent out an invitation.
"We don't have time to pass, there are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, we have to go back to our hometown early, thank you Mr. Qiu for your kindness."
Qin Lanzhou immediately refused.
After Qiu Chengxiang heard this, he didn't care, he raised a false smile and looked at Sun Yun and Zhao De present:
"Xiao Qin said that there is no time, I can understand, but presumably, Master Sun and Master Zhao should have time to come, right?"
"I'm sorry, I'm going back to my hometown, but thank you Mr. Qiu for your kindness."
As soon as Qiu Chengxiang asked, Sun Yun decisively and simply refused, and in order to show his demeanor, he picked up his wine glass and toasted Qiu Chengxiang.
Qin Lanzhou found that Sun Yun, like Qin Yi, was a low-key and upright craftsman, speaking frankly and directly, without any informality, which made her admire Sun Yun more and more from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao De did not express his position as directly as Sun Yun did, which made Gao Yuan and Wan Cheng seem to see hope at once.
Gao Yuan immediately picked up his wine glass and said to Zhao De:
"Master, you go home anyway to celebrate the New Year alone, why don't you celebrate with us in Chengxiang, what do you say?"
Gao Yuan and Wan Cheng were indeed the teachers of Zhao De, but it was not until this time that they heard Gao Yuan call Zhao De "master".
Zhao De raised his head slowly, and his solemn face did not decrease sharply:
"Gao Yuan, do you still know how to call me a master?"
Zhao De suddenly attacked, which caught Gao Yuan off guard and made Qin Lanzhou very surprised.
"Master, you ...... What do you mean by that? β
Gao Yuan was caught off guard, he didn't expect Zhao De to suddenly ask him like this.
"You don't even have the least respect for me as a master, are you not doing this now, and you take my words as wind in your ears?"
Zhao De still didn't pick up the wine glass, he looked at Gao Yuan coldly, and his voice was full of indescribable disappointment.
In front of everyone's eyes, Gao Yuan was completely stunned, his hand holding the wine glass froze in place, for a while, he was not toasting, nor was he disrespectful, so he had to ask with an embarrassed face:
"Master, what are you doing here? How can I be disrespectful to you, I was going to go up the mountain with Wancheng tomorrow to see your ......"
"I called you before and asked you to come to the Molan Workshop and let your senior brother Wancheng go to Chengxiang, but I didn't expect you to be good, the grass on the wall is one-sided, and it will be difficult for me, a master, to be a man on both sides!"
Zhao Deyin endured the anger of the whole night and vented it all.
Although his personality is not as straightforward as Sun Yun, he has always been cautious and thoughtful, and no one wants to offend him......
He originally thought that Gao Yuan had promised well, saying that he would come to the Molan Workshop in the next year, so he deliberately went down the mountain to accompany Qin Yi to drink this meal, but when he saw Qiu Chengxiang coming with the three of them, he instantly understood everything in his heart, and naturally, he knew their intentions......
