54. Chapter 54

When King Guangjun led the Yao Mansion and the others into the house, Yuzhu discovered that there were quite a few distinguished guests from King Guangjun at this tea banquet. In addition to Mr. Weng and his masters of calligraphy and painting, Bai Shuiliu also brought his younger brother to the banquet, while Lord Fan was sitting beside Bai Shuiliu and having a long talk with him.

Seeing Yao Muye coming, Bai Shuiliu smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come today. I regret that you were going to miss this jade carving!"

Fan Qingyun stood behind Bai Shuiliu, looking at Yuzhu, who was nodding and smiling slightly at him, and secretly guessing the relationship between her and Taiwei Yao in his heart.

Taking advantage of the greetings of everyone, Yuzhu walked into the courtyard and stood beside a pavilion pillar and looked quietly at Yushan standing in the courtyard.

It is the protagonist of this tea banquet. It was ordered by King Guangjun to use a sandalwood carved seat in the center of the courtyard, so that the light can fully pass through its body and appear to be full of jade.

Carving jade mountains is very particular. The so-called "Wenshan is a ruler, and a person is divided into a person in a meter of horses". For example, a fairy who is one foot tall should be one foot tall. When a horse is one inch, the height of the figure is one part. The proportions of trees, figures, and small rocks on the entire mountain must be precise and strict and coordinated appropriately, which is the most challenging of carving people's layout design. Therefore, most of the jade products on the market are small hills, and it is rare to carve mountains and rivers like Fan Qingyun.

Perhaps because this jade mountain is a collection of mountains, Fan Qingyun really showed off his skills, and the cross-use of round carving and carving made the bamboo forest on the rockery feel transparent with green leaves...

Yuzhu looked at her steadily, but she felt a faint sense of anxiety in her heart. If that medicine bracelet made Yuzhu realize that her skills were not as skilled as Fan Qingyun, then the jade mountain in front of her made her completely realize that Fan Qingyun was also planning to "three" plans for the overall layout design!

Even if he beat Fan Qingyun's disciples in the competition, it is not enough to prove that Fan Qingyun, a shameless villain who betrayed his master, is a person who steals his father's works to gain fame!

You should know that this jade mountain was created based on a landscape painting by King Guangjun - the Huangshan strange pine painting. On the basis of King Guangjun's original painting, the jade carver's own understanding was added, presenting a completely different beauty from landscape paintings.

If the previous one of Yuzhu Fan Qingyun was just using his father's work to deceive the world and steal the reputation, then the newly carved jade in front of him is undoubtedly enough to prove that Fan Qingyun is already a well-deserved master who surpassed Master Yuan Zhongyue back then!

Thinking of this, Yuzhu couldn't help feeling a sense of powerless depression and sadness...

"What? Is this jade mountain unsatisfactory? Why does the girl look sad?" Suddenly a voice rang behind Yuzhu.

Yuzhu looked back and saw Fan Qingyun standing behind her with a warm smile.

Yuzhu was silent for a while and said, "No, it is precisely because Lord Fan's jade is so mature that he is so beautiful that Yuzhu is a little sad..."

Fan Qingyun was a little confused and asked with a smile: "How do you say this?"

Yuzhu pursed her lips and said softly: "Although Yuzhu loves to carve jade, except for being guided by her grandfather when she was young, she has no master's correction. She is just a pioneering wilderness. The first competition for carve jade made Yuzhu very difficult and felt the difference between herself and your high disciple. Now when looking at this Yushan again, I always think, I'll say it's your disciple, Lord Fan."

These words can be said to have flattered the whole world without revealing it. After hearing this, Fan Qingyun felt relieved and laughed: "If you have this heart, what's the problem? I'll just accept you as my disciple... But I don't know if the Taiwei will agree."

Yuzhu showed joy and covered her chest lightly with her hands, saying, "Although I live in the Taiwei Mansion, I am favored by Miss Yao, and I am her jade master and taught her to carve seals. If Lord Fan is willing to accept me as his disciple, I will take leave with Miss Yao and come to ask for advice when it is convenient for him."

Just then, King Guangjun also came over. After hearing this, he couldn't help but smile: "Today's tea banquet is a happy event. I now congratulate Lord Fan on accepting a kind and kind disciple!"

He immediately ordered someone to hand over a teacup to Yuzhu, asking her to become a disciple and serve tea, and worship Fan Qingyun, the mentor. However, Mr. Weng snorted coldly from the side: "Ms. Yuan's carving skills are not as experienced as Lord Fan, and he has a different kind of aura. I hope Miss Yuan thinks twice, otherwise even if she is skillful in carving skills, she will be just another Yuan Zhongyue!"

When others accept disciples, only the old man Weng, who doesn't look at others, can speak out like this.

As soon as these words were said, everyone present was a little confused and uncontrollable.

Fan Qingyun first reacted and said with a smile: "I wonder what Mr. Weng said?"

Since that quarrel in the preliminary competition, Mr. Weng has been disliked by Lord Fan, only to think that this person is so sophisticated, worldly, very strong in official spirit, and very specialized. So he said without hesitation: "Mr. Fan's carvings do not need to be praised by me, but I think that carvings are like calligraphy and painting. In addition to their skills, they also have a certain unique character. Looking closely at Lord Fan's jade mountain, it is full of Master Yuan's charm back then. If it weren't for the newly carved ones, I would really think that Master Yuan was carved again!"

As soon as these words were said, Fan Qingyun was just a blind imitation of a jade craftsman with no personal character! He was not worthy of becoming a "master" at all!

Fan Qingyun hated people the most in his life that his skills were not as good as Yuan Zhongyue, but Old Weng actually said in front of everyone that no matter how diligent he was, he was just another Yuan Zhongyue. His face was ashen. If there weren't many noble people present, he would have attacked Old Weng on the spot.

However, as my thoughts circulated, Fan Qingyun returned with a cold sneer: "Fan has never dared to claim to be a 'master'. He only hopes that his skills can be passed on, so he has accepted disciples and taught them all. Mr. Weng has always been aloof and cannot be reached by everyone. But why do people frequently accuse you of suppressing young talents in calligraphy and painting? Is it because you are afraid that your always maverick painting style will not be overshadowed by others?"

"You...you are talking nonsense!" Old Weng's face turned red with anger and was about to explode. At this moment, Grand Marshal Yao came over and said, "Didn't you say that King Guangjun has a new painting view? Why are they all around here?"

After hearing what Yao Muye said, King Guangjun immediately reacted, so he led all the guests to the studio to watch, automatically skipping the embarrassment of the argument.

After Mr. Weng and Fan Qingyun were quarreling, they felt that having a tea banquet with those ordinary people would have reduced their character, so they said goodbye to King Guangjun in advance.

Mr. Fan is a minister who has been promoted to a stable position in the court recently. In addition, he is smooth and has excellent popularity. In addition, his exquisite carvings and jade are highly praised even in the calligraphy and painting world. Although Mr. Weng was the master who taught the prince in the palace, he was an idle official position. In addition, he was sharp-tongued and offended many people. Therefore, when Mr. Weng left, there were almost very few people who sent him.

Yuzhu is one of them. When Mr. Weng said goodbye, she whispered to Yao Muye that she wanted to send him off. After Mr. Yao nodded, she followed Jue out of the mansion with him.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Mr. Weng turned around and sighed, but whispered a few words to the jade beads who came to see him: "Girls should know that their character is corrupt, and you should be careful when you become a disciple. If you want to improve your skills, you can come to me. I have an old friend who can teach me one or two. Of course... If you blindly believe in reputation and worship those ordinary people as your teacher, I will only think that I don't know you in the future!"

Yuzhu smiled bitterly when she heard this. She did intend to recognize the thief as her master to see if she could learn the skills she wanted, but now she was disturbed by Mr. Weng, and she couldn't ask for a master in front of everyone.

But she was grateful for what Mr. Weng said for his father. After many years of his death, even the emperor changed his life. How could anyone remember Master Yuan back then? But for Mr. Weng’s words, she would come to thank him another day.

Thinking of this, Yuzhu turned around and was about to go back, but saw that there was still Mr. Bai who came to see him. So he gave him a little blessing.

Bai Shuiliu smiled and said, "The house in Prince Guangjun's mansion is very big, so I can guide the girl back."

Yuzhu was naturally frightened and said that there was no need to bother the adults.

However, Bai Shuiliu only made a "please" move, and only let Yuzhu take the maid in front.

Yuzhu was inconvenient to push it away, so she could only move forward, but she always felt that Bai Shao was looking at her up and down behind her... This feeling was really uncomfortable. Now she could understand Miss Yao's spending a little. This Bai Shao was indeed quite similar to his friend Yao Muye, both of whom were very selfish and did not consider other people's feelings.

Whenever he reached the turn, Baishuiliu would make a sound reminder of Miss Yuzhu where to turn. Yuzhu speeded up and just wanted to walk back to the previous courtyard quickly.

I took a few more steps to pass through the garden. There was a quiet mountain in front of me. However, when Yuzhu turned and walked forward a few steps, I suddenly saw Miss Yao walking out from behind Dieshan with a panic look on her face, and behind her was... Bai Shao's younger brother Bai Shuiqing.

It seemed that they also heard the sound of someone coming, and they were a little panicked for a moment. When Yao Shuting saw Yuzhu, her expression was so panicked that she was about to cry...

It turned out that Miss Yao took advantage of the quarrel in the courtyard just now, and the maids who followed her were watching the fun, and found a loophole to sneak up here. However, before he could say a few words, he suddenly heard Bai Shao sing and said, "Miss Yuan, please turn right!"

The lady who had never done anything bad by her back was immediately scared and wanted to run away, but was hit by Yuzhu.

Seeing that Mr. Bai was about to turn around, Yuzhu suddenly stopped and turned back, almost crashing into Mr. Bai's arms.

Bai Shuiliu smiled slightly and reached out to hold her arm and said, "What's wrong? Why is Miss Yuan panic?"
