"Of course! How could such a superb porcelain handicraft be worth only six gold coins? Yu Tianlu said casually.

"Xiaolu, you know that you've been making trouble for a long time?" Yan Yue also looked at Yu Tianlu blankly.

"You just have to see the look on that miser's face."

"Then you don't want to ask him more?"

"Do you think that iron rooster can give it? Instead of wasting time, you might as well take a break. ”

After Yu Tianlu finished speaking, the tiredness on his face gradually emerged. It seems that he also spent a lot of energy to make this handicraft.

"Xiao Lu, the Qingluan statue just now, you really made it out of earth?" By this time, Yu Hongze was also a little incredulous.

"That's right. Using the 'power of visualization' to manipulate the formation of the soil is much less labor-intensive than the visualization, but it also takes a lot of effort to make this Qingluan bird really come to life. The details, including the feathers around the body, the demeanor of the bird, and even the slightest line of lines, can not be deviated in the slightest! Yu Tianlu also said very seriously.

At this moment, he has a deeper understanding of the "power of visualization".

"Xiaolu, this time it's really hard for you. Grandpa asks you again! Where did you get this Qingluan bird from? ”

"What's this? I dreamed about it when I had it the other day. Yu Tianlu couldn't tell his grandfather that he had crossed over, so he made up a nonsense, "Even I think it's incredible, that dream is very real, and the cyan divine bird soars in the sky." Even when I woke up, it was still deeply imprinted in my mind. So I struck while the iron was hot and made it out of the clay. ”

"I see! I think it's probably your father and mother who have a spirit in the sky and gave you a dream! Yu Hongze also sighed.

This is how the Qingluan statue was made. However, Yu Tianlu didn't expect that Luo Dongxu bought a gift at a "big price", and the person who gave it turned out to be Ma Zhenbei.

Ma Zhenbei's daughter held a wedding that night, and Luo Dongxu's Qingluan statue was also in the limelight. Ma Zhenbei's beloved daughter couldn't put it down, and the guests present were also talking about this ingenious statue.

For this reason, Ma Zhenbei even personally toasted Luo Dongxu with a glass of wine, which flattered this miser.

After the wedding, Ma Zhenbei learned about it and found that the handicraft was actually made by Yu Tianlu.

"Master Yu, the Qingluan statue you made was later appreciated by our master. Not to mention the cheesy valuations. The most important thing is that the master said that the artistic value of this statue can be on par with the top works of art. Steward Ma also said respectfully.

"It's good that Master Ma is satisfied." Yu Tianlu smiled, "But what does my Qingluan statue have to do with that art contest of yours?" ”

"Speaking of this art competition! In fact, it is also a heart disease of our master. Steward Ma also sighed.

"Heart disease?" Yu Tianlu and the three of them also looked at each other.

"You don't know, the art competition in this horse house is held every two years, but it has been held for four years, and this year is the fifth."

"Obediently, this competition has been held for ten years." Yan Yue on the side couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Ma is a person who loves art, so within the scope of his ability, he strives to make this art competition as high a standard as possible. So I also found celebrities and masters in art from other places. It's just ......"

"Just what?" Yu Tianlu asked.

"It's just that Master Ma has always had a wish, hoping to produce an artistic talent in his hometown and win the championship of a horse competition!"

"What's wrong? Fighting on the ground, no one in our town can win this honor? ”

"Alas, it's been four times. Not to mention the champion, there is not even a top three. Steward Ma sighed, "But this is also a matter of no choice." You must know that the culture and education of this town are relatively backward, and it is difficult to produce an artist! ”

Regarding this point, Yu Tianlu, who has crossed over, also empathizes.

The town he was in, called "Twilight", was, like its name, very depressed. For such a small town, the various facilities are relatively backward. Education, in particular, is no match for cities.

And after Ma Zhenbei went out to explore when he was young, he also accumulated wealth and returned to his roots. Although he wanted to use his financial resources and fame to change his hometown a little, it was difficult to achieve it in a short period of time.

"Actually, for this year's art competition, our master originally wanted to stop it. But when he saw Master Yu's work, he made up his mind that this time it must be held again. ”

"No, it won't! I'm under a lot of pressure! Yu Tianlu was a little flattered.

You must know that he made the Qingluan statue at that time, but he never thought that it would be extraneous branches. First, he is just helping his grandfather complete the order, and secondly, he is also testing the extent of his "power of visualization" in the recent period.

"Master Yu, you are so humble!" Steward Ma hurriedly said, "Last time I was in the courtyard, I was so offended by Master Yu that I really didn't want to go. This time, we sincerely hope that Master Yu will be on time for the competition. ”

"This ......" Yu Tianlu turned his head and looked at his grandfather, "Grandpa, do you say that I should go to this horse master's competition?" ”

"This matter, Xiao Lu! It's up to you to make up your own mind. Grandpa didn't have any ideas about any kind of artwork or anything like that. Yu Hongze said, "But in the north of Ma Town, Master Ma has also done a lot of practical things for the town." Repair bridges, pave roads, build schools, if you can help, Xiaolu, you can try to help. ”

"Then since grandpa said so, if I don't go, it really doesn't seem to give face to Master Ma!" Yu Tianlu also nodded.

"So Master Yu promised to go!" Steward Ma was also overjoyed.

"Yes, yes, but Steward Ma, when is the date of this race?"

"The date on the invitation is the eighth day of November."

"The eighth day of November, today is the sixth day of the new year. Wait, isn't it the day after tomorrow that we have to play? Yu Tianlu was also surprised, "It's only two days of preparation!" I said Steward Ma, this rush into battle, no matter how good the work is, it can't come out! ”

"Alas! Who's to say it isn't? I apologize for this on behalf of our family. Steward Ma also said apologetically, "We have been looking for a long time in the town before, and it wasn't until two days ago that we met you, Master Yu!" ”

"Okay!" Yu Tianlu also knew Ma Zhenbei's difficulties, "But two days are really too hasty." Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Steward Ma, you must know that even if I am willing to participate, the materials for making artworks will not be available in a short time!" Yu Tianlu said with some embarrassment.

Yu Tianlu was telling the truth. In order to make a Qingluan statue for Luo Dongxu before, the rest of the soil in the workshop was exhausted. Although this land is not too difficult to procure, those high-quality land are rare.

Yu Hongze just placed an order a few days ago, and it will not arrive at the store until next month at the earliest.

"That's the reason!" Steward Ma also suddenly realized, "Master Yu, don't worry about this. Our master said, Master Yu has any requirements in terms of materials and other aspects, just mention it. As long as it is within our ability and reasonable, we will do our best to meet it. ”

"That's it!" Yu Tianlu also pondered in his heart, "It seems that this is indeed a sure deal." Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is just right to ask Ma Zhenbei to replenish the stock of rest soil for our porcelain shop. And maybe I can establish a long-term cooperation with them in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll just say yes!" Yu Tianlu said solemnly.

"That's great!" Steward Ma said happily, "After those two days, we will send a car to pick you up." ”

"It's not just me!"

"Not just Master Yu?"

"I also have an assistant here, can I participate?"

Yu Tianlu also turned his head to look at Yan Yue as he spoke.

"Xiaolu, the assistant you are talking about, could it be me?" Yan Yue also pointed to his nose and said.

"Fool, who else but you?"

"It turned out to be this little brother!" Steward Ma naturally had a deep impression of the powerful Yan Yue in front of him, "Naturally, there is no problem, which artist doesn't have an assistant!" Two days later, we welcomed the two of you. I'm going to take my leave, and I'm going to tell my master the good news as soon as possible. ”

"Steward Ma, go slowly!" Yu Hongze also hurriedly said.

After bidding farewell to Steward Ma, the two parents looked at their children and were very happy.

"Xiao Lu, I really didn't expect that you would be so valued by Master Ma!" Yu Hongze said excitedly, "This is really a great opportunity!" ”

"Great opportunity?" Yu Tianlu looked at his grandfather with some puzzlement.

"Xiaolu, you don't know yet, do you?" Mrs. Yan on the side said, "This Ma Zhenbei is the shareholder of the 'Xianghua Teacher College' in the provincial capital!" ”

"The shareholder of the 'Elephant Chemistry College'? This is the first time I've ever known. ”

"So it's an opportunity." Yu Hongze said, "Xiao Lu, you must know that the academy recruits people who have the potential to become elephant chemists. With Master Ma's recommendation, I believe that it will not be difficult to enter this academy. ”

"That's it!" Yu Tianlu also nodded, "This is indeed a good opportunity." Grandpa, Aunt Yan, I know. I'm going to try to win the title this time. ”

"Competing for the title? Why! Yan Yue next to him hadn't sensed the taste yet.

"Fool, I want to take you to that academy too!" Yu Tianlu said with a smile, "I heard that in this art competition in Ma Fu, the champion can make a request to Ma Zhenbei within the scope of his ability. When the time comes, I'm going to ask him to write you a letter of recommendation for you to go to that college with me. ”

"Xiao Lu!" Yan Yue also held Yu Tianlu's hand excitedly, "I knew that this guy of yours would not leave me." ”

"We're good brothers, are you angry?" Yu Tianlu said with a smile.

Looking at these two children, the two elders on the side also showed a smile of relief.

"I said Uncle Yu, I really don't know what to say. If Ah Yue can enter that school with Xiaolu's light, I will definitely ask him to kowtow to you. Mrs. Yan also said emotionally.

"Mrs. Yan, what are you talking about? The two of us also share what we do with each other. Xiaolu and Ah Yue grew up together since childhood, and in my eyes they are both my own grandchildren. The two children were able to support each other, and I was too late to be happy! Yu Hongze hurriedly said, "I believe that those deceased people have spirits in heaven and will definitely bless them." ”
