Chapter 14 14: Specialization in the Arts

In a blink of an eye, it's Shangyuan Festival.

The lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival are very beautiful.

This year, Jijiabao invited more than a dozen craftsmen who made various lanterns to make lanterns in the fort.

For no other reason, the lord of Ji Bao wanted to appreciate the process of making lanterns: watching people cut, tie keels, color, paste paper, and cover silk.

He took his three children to watch it with great pleasure, and commented while watching: look at Lao Li's fingers - flexibility, tsk, at first glance, it is the hand that often makes lanterns.

Some craftsmen make lanterns with a full set of skills, while others require several people to work together to make large-scale lanterns.

It's all about watching and enjoying.

"It's called 'specialization in the art industry.'" Ji Xiao said to the children.

Ah Ning didn't care what he said, he just cared about the excitement, grabbed someone's coloring pen and wanted to add a few crooked and miserable strokes to the silk cloth of the lantern, Ji Wei didn't care, just said: "Well, it's good!" After speaking, he gave Ah Ning a thumbs up, and then ordered: "Keep this painting and paste it." ”

After that, everyone saw a lantern pasted with a calf pattern, and the calf on the plain silk cloth had several tails of different lengths (Ding Chou Year of the Ox); a lantern painted with a fairy, and the fairy has inexplicably added several black moles and green moles to her face; There are also peacocks with beaks and eyes together, and red and white rabbits......

Wherever A-Ning Xing went, he didn't let go of what could be poisoned.

Hello was even more excited, where Aning was, and his actions were unprecedentedly consistent with Aning's actions. Sometimes it squatted next to Aning, sometimes it went around the production site twice and then ran back, and sometimes it brought a craftsman's knife and flattered it to the fullest.

Ji Mo looked at the sky speechlessly, silent.

Ji Shu: "Hello, that's not good, put down the knife, it's dangerous." ”

Hello just got it back up and took the knife away.

Ji Wei looked at all this, smacking his mouth and being satisfied.

Mrs. Chen sat next to Ji Shu and drank a cup of tea on the recliner. It was cool and breezy, and the afternoon sun was a little warm, and she almost fell asleep in a daze with this little warmth.

Ji Wei was afraid that she would be cold, so he held her hand and patted her lightly a few times. Madame's eyes were sleepy, and Ji Xian's throat was a little tight, so he leaned up and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Ah Zhuo, do you want me to carry you back to the house?" ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then instantly understood what her husband said, and suddenly woke up, and her face turned red silently.

Ji Xianruo unintentionally distanced himself from her, and muttered in a low voice unrelentingly: "You are clearly seducing me like that." You're not right. ”

Mrs. Chen was teased by her husband in public, and she was quite annoyed, and suddenly her understanding of the thickness of Ji Dabao's face rose to a higher level. She coughed lowly, touched her teacup, and drank the remaining half of the tea, which was a little cold. The maid came to make her tea, she waved her hand, then stood up and floated away.

Ji Wei sat there watching all this, rubbed his chin, and smiled deliciously.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Jinchi sent Yu Qian'er.

Yu Qian'er, this child, doesn't know who to follow, and can grind people. That day at the Li family, Ji Wei said to Jinchi that Yu Qian'er wanted to come, but of course Jinchi didn't allow it, for fear that this bear child would make trouble and trouble the senior brother. Ji Xianyan said that it didn't matter, it was okay for the senior brothers to practice together, they could supervise each other and promote each other, and Jinchi had brought him to his old father.

Before going back, Jinchi incarnated as a housekeeper and told her son a lot, and Yu Qian'er agreed to it one by one like a little milk cat, and Jinchi left with confidence.

At the beginning of February, Ji Mo celebrated his tenth birthday, and at the end of the same month, Yu Qian'er turned nine years old. Ji Shu didn't know his birthday, and Ji Shu set him on the day he was rescued, November 18.

On the third day of the first month of March, the half of spring has passed, the peach and plum are fragrant, the cauliflower is fragrant, and the warbler sings and the swallow dances and the grass is long. Ji Wei went to Lin'an with his wife and daughter.

There are masks in the special sandalwood boxes that accompany them.

Before leaving, Ji Wei gave a deep lesson to Ji Mo and Yu Qian'er. Yu Qian'er is one year old when Ji Mo is young, although his basic skills are not as good as Ji Mo's, but they are much better than Ji Shu, Ji Wei decided to let Ji Mo and Yu Qian'er learn the mask classification and production of disguise together.

Ji Shu still practiced swordsmanship, light gong mantras and positioning, picking beans, drawing expressions, and color matching.

Disguise, in the Ji family, there is a distinction between "applying paint on the skin" and "wearing a mask".

It is easy to apply paint, use a fine brush dipped in the prepared pigment and apply it on the face: forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, cheeks, lips and chin, different shades of pigment required for different ages and different expressions, and the parts that need to be highlighted and hidden should be done. Black, white, gray, red, yellow are commonly used basic pigments.

If you are skilled in applying the brush, you can do without the need for a brush and just use your fingers.

The making of a mask requires patience and concentration, and it requires the eyes, the heart, and the hands.

Human skin masks, made of human skin? No, it's all fake, it's just sensational. Wait, is it really a mask made of human skin? Perhaps, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Ji family. Masks made from real human skins are nothing more than crazy perverts!

Extremely vicious, conscience, miserable, inhumane, and inhumane guys.

It deserves to be destroyed.

There are three materials for the Ji family's mask making: lambskin, glue, and silk.

The lambskin is soaked in a special potion until soft, deodorized, thinned, hand-cut, and refined.

Sometimes pigskin cowhide is also used, the method is the same as above.

Plastic Mask Making ...... Pectin gum or something, most of them are plastic models.

Silk masks. The finest silk is washed off by impurities in the prepared medicinal solution, woven raw or cooked into silk, and carefully made into a soft and silky exquisite mask.

Want? The highest bidder may not be able to get it.

Can the mask be reused? Of course. The used mask is soaked in the potion prepared by the Ji family for one moment, and it can be used three more times.

In addition, there is another issue that cannot be ignored: beards.

It is easy for both women and young men to say that adult men have beards.

Sticking a beard is also a delicate job, and it is also inseparable from the flexible fingers - a mustache and a goat's beard...... Black, pale, white, red, soft, hard, and so on.

The lord of Ji Bao personally went into battle to strengthen the training of his son and nephew, and then left.

Ji Ping followed Ji Shu out most of the time, and his kung fu was good, because he wanted to be optimistic about the young master, Ji Shu, and Yu Qian'er, but this time he didn't go with the castle lord and his wife. Ji An is not as talkative as Ji Ping, but the twins' abilities are comparable, so they follow the master of Ji Bao. In addition, the Jinchi family is not far from Jijia Fort, and the owner of Ji Fort is considered to be a care during his departure from the fort.

Before leaving, Lord Ji Bao said that a few cubs dared to be lazy and slack off in class, so they would wait for him to come back and settle the account. As for how the accounts are calculated, I didn't say. But he always had a way. Maybe it will not be good to be caught by him and disguised into a delicate girl.

Just thinking about that kind of scene will give you goosebumps on your body and fall to the ground.

But with Ji Mo here, it's not easy to be lazy. Just looking at you all the time and not talking is enough to make people itch all over your body and can't scratch it.

In this respect, he and Ji Wei are worthy of being father and son.
