Chapter 7 7: Routine Assignments (2)
In the future, the Fun Plum Garden.
Ji Xiao's study, Hyacinth.
A secret room behind a bookshelf.
The chamber is smaller. An intricately carved bluebird on the wall of the chamber with a glowing bead on its head illuminates the space, which can only accommodate three or four people. At the end of the small chamber, there is a staircase that leads to the bottom, and then you go down the stairs and turn around to the basement level.
Ji Shu looked at this with wide eyes. The basement floor is a large space, and a low openwork screen separates the spacious space several times. Inside each compartment was a large table, and next to it was a vertical pole, on the same side of which protruded three recesses for the lamps, and the lamps were lit. In addition, the surrounding walls are inlaid with several bright gemstones, which glow softly with a warm white glow – there is no doubt that this is a bright place.
"This is my workshop and a place for you to study and practice." Ji Wei said, "The reason why our Ji family's disguise technique is the best in the world lies in the unremitting efforts of each generation, simply put, it depends on eyesight, heart and hand power. Eyesight is to have keen observation and insight; Mental strength is to have seven tricks in the heart: to see people are people, to see people are not people, to see people are still people; Hand strength, pay attention to the flexibility of the fingers, the appropriate strength, and the finger tip feeling sensitive. You have to start with the most basic training, and only after you have practiced can you be qualified to move on to the next step. For several generations, our Ji family has been thin and has few apprentices. Ancestral training: In addition to the father to the son, only one more disciple is allowed in his life, and it is better to have a shortage than to abuse! ”
Ji Mo was silent after listening to his father's words. He was exposed to these at the age of five, and his father didn't let him go any further, except for his daily routine.
Today's words are mainly for Ji Shu.
Ji Shu didn't seem to understand his father-in-law's words, although he was confused, he remembered it in his heart, especially the last few sentences.
Ji Shu led them to the table, on which were placed two mannequins of a man and a woman, as well as several bottles of paint.
"The model on the table is a prop for your usual practice – be aware of the divisions of each muscle in the human body and the traction interaction between the muscles, especially the face. In addition, the two of you need to observe the expressions of different emotions on each other's faces every day and draw them until you get into the habit. And these paints on the table, red, yellow, black, blue, white, mix these pigments in two or two every day to see what results will appear, and then increase the difficulty day by day, mix three or three, mix the shades...... The results are drawn separately into a series of graphs, saved, and used as daily training and homework. Ji Wei took them to the table and instructed, "In the future, there will be no special circumstances, and you will study and train here every day for two hours, the second hour and the second hour, until you are satisfied with me." ”
After Ji Xiao finished speaking, he got closer, smiled and said to the two children: "Come on, I'll take a good look at you!" - Mo'er, you know how to do it, your junior brother will hand it over to you in the past few days, don't be lazy, I inspect every day. Also, prepare a pack of beans for your little brother. ”
After saying that, he waved his hand and didn't look back.
Leaving Ji Mo to sigh weakly, Ji Shu was surprised.
The stepfather is gone like this? The master is like this, gone?
Ji Mo sighed, looked surprised, and calmly said to Ji Shu: "Let's start, you pick up the model first." ”
Ji Shu obediently picked up the model on the table, the model was both delicate and realistic, and it felt like a real person's skin, which couldn't help but make him very impressed.
"It's amazing, it feels like a real person, what is it made of?" Ji Shu muttered quietly.
"A kind of gum, the skin made after extracting impurities, this glue needs to be purchased from other places, and we don't have it here." Gimmer explained.
"That must be expensive!" Ji Shu was surprised, "It feels like it's warm?" ”
"Yes. Inside the model is a piece of warm jade. This glue needs a certain temperature to shape, too cold will condense into a ball, and too hot will melt. ”
"Oops, that's delicate."
"What is this? Daddy has a better one, and you'll naturally see it when the time comes. ”
Obviously, Ji Mo was already so familiar with the model that he couldn't be more familiar with it, he took off the muscles on the mannequin piece by piece and told Ji Shu their names and uses, and when his expression changed, the linkage between the muscles was damaged, how to make up for the damage......
Ji Shu studied seriously, and he didn't feel bored when he first came into contact. Unconsciously two hours passed, Ji Mo took Ji Shu out and went to the flower hall to have dinner with his parents and sisters.
A-Ning was very happy to see the two of them, chattering non-stop, Ji Mo was used to it, calm, Ji Shu liked this energetic little girl very much, and inexplicably felt familiar and cordial, as if there was such a noisy little person in his life.
"Daddy, we're only looking at the model, and the paint hasn't had time to ......," Ji Mo said to Ji Wei.
"It's okay, it's nice to be like this today." Ji Wei interrupted Ji Mo's words, "Your mother is afraid that you will study hard and make mycelium snow lotus soup herself, Ah Zhuo, your skills are getting better and better!" ”
"Taste it!" Mrs. Chen smiled and filled the soup and handed Ji Shu a bowl.
Ji Shu took a sip, only to feel sweet and delicious, full of warmth, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so delicious, thank you mother!" His sincere appearance made Zhuo's heart sour, and she waved her hand, "Then drink more, it's growing." ”
"Mother, I want to drink it too!" A-Ning wants it too.
Ji Mo glanced at A-Ning and felt that she was acting childishly, and then quietly filled a bowl by himself.
Ha Jiu guarded his food bowl, wagged his tail and said "Wang" after eating, brushing his sense of existence to everyone, waiting for the lord of Ji Dabao to personally add food to it.
After the meal, the two returned to Dunmin Courtyard, Ji Mo went back to his room and took a small bag of things and threw them into Ji Shu's arms: "Next!" ”
"What is this?" Ji Shu took the cloth bag and asked.
Ji Mo just looked at him and didn't speak, with a look of "open it and you'll know".
Ji Shu opened the cloth bag and found that it was red and black beans inside.
"What is this for?" Ji Shu was puzzled.
"Practice eyesight, hand speed and fingertip dexterity." Ji Mo said, "In the future, I will carry the bag with me, and I will practice when I have time." ”
Yes, use all your free time to pour out the red beans and black beans in the bag and pick them up one by one. Various picking methods: one-handed pick-up, two-handed pick-up, cross pick-up, one-grain pick-up, two-grain pick-up, one hand picks up red beans and one hand picks up black beans, and the thumb and the remaining four fingers are matched separately......
Ji Shu couldn't help but wonder if this training would make sure that his fingers would not be numb? Can the eyes really see?
"Practice makes perfect, and over time it is natural and sensitive." Ji Shu saw the entanglement on Ji Shu's face, and took out his bag from his arms, which was actually filled with white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds.
Ji Shu ......
A sense of hardship ahead came to my face.
Silently grabbed the cloth bag in his hand, and suddenly felt that his whole finger was soft.
Until he heard Ji Mo say in a calm tone: "Tonight, I will memorize the first ten articles of the family motto, and then read and write after memorizing, and I will teach you." ”
…… Well, that's fine.
In this way, the sound of recitation from time to time came from time to time in the Dunmin Temple, which was shrouded in night.
