Chapter 400: Don't Be So Persistent!
After Cen Hongmian came back from the household department, he didn't know his own yard, and came directly to Cen Xiyan's Jinglan Pavilion.
Seeing the watercolor painting that had been bound by Cen Xiyan, Cen Hongmian was overjoyed, and quickly took it in his hand, and couldn't put it down for a while.
Now he not only admired Cen Xiyan's painting skills, but also admired the exquisite carving patterns on the frame!
"Sixth sister, your hands are too skillful!" Cen Hongmian rubbed the pattern with his fingers, in addition to being surprised and appreciative, he felt in his heart that he didn't know enough about this sixth sister!
"Well, the sixth sister does have a pair of skillful hands!" Cen Xiqin echoed.
Then she remembered what she saw that day, the small wooden man that Cen Xiyan had dropped, although it was only a half-finished product, it was already very expressive, and she didn't know who that person was......
Cen Xiyan didn't raise his head, took the carving knife, and continued to carve patterns for other picture frames, and said without much care: "It's just a simple carving and decoration, nothing is great, this kind of simple work can be done by any skilled craftsman." ”
In Cen Xiyan's view, carving and decorating the frame is really a very untechnical thing, there are too many craftsmen who can do this kind of work, she is doing this at the moment, one is to make the painting more shrewd as a whole, and the other is that it is too boring, idle, just find something to do.
"Craftsman?" When Cen Hongmian heard this, he frowned slightly, and said, "Sixth sister, don't be presumptuous, how can you compare with a craftsman?" ”
When Cen Xiyan heard this, he finally raised his eyes, looked at Cen Hongmian, and asked with a smile: "What?" Does the third brother look down on craftsmen? ”
Cen Hongmian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "I don't mean to look down on anyone, it's just that, after all, scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants are ranked here, speaking of which, workers are also considered cheap jobs in the end......
"Cheap karma?" Cen Xiyan suddenly snorted coldly, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "If you don't steal or rob, how can you become a cheap business if you eat with your own hands?" Compared with those moths who only know how to eat, thirst and have fun, do not learn and have no skills, and ruin the family business, I think that people who support their families by labor are more worthy of respect, right? ”
Cen Xiyan's words were a little sharp, Cen Hongmian and Cen Xiqin didn't expect her to say such a thing, the two brothers and sisters were a little stunned for a while, and they all looked at Cen Xiyan and couldn't speak.
Cen Xiyan saw Cen Xiqin and Cen Hongmian's expressions, and knew what she said, which made these two people unable to understand for a while, no, what she couldn't understand was herself, some of the thoughts of the ancients were deep-rooted, and it was impossible for her to change some of the world's thoughts by herself, so why bother to drill the tip of the horns and find herself unhappy.
She wanted to understand this, so she waved her hand at Cen Hongmian and Cen Xiqin, "I said it casually, and you guys should take it seriously." With that, he continued to carve again.
Cen Hongmian came back to his senses, thought about Cen Xiyan's words, and couldn't help but ask: "Sixth sister, you don't seem to agree with the statement that craftsmen are cheap industries?" ”
The movements in Cen Xiyan's hand paused, thought for a moment, raised his head again, and asked, "Third brother, do you think that Master Mozi can be regarded as a lowly businessman?" ”
When Cen Hongmian heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise: "How can Mr. Mozi be regarded as a cheap businessman??" ”
Cen Xiyan said calmly: "Yes, Mozi is the ancestor of the Mojia doctrine, you respect him as a gentleman, but I value his other identity more, a generation of organ masters, so I call him a master, but the trick is actually a kind of worker." ”
This is the first time she has taken the initiative to talk to someone outside the sect about the topic of mechanical arts, but in fact, in her heart, she is not really as calm as she said on her face.
Cen Hongmian listened to Cen Xiyan's words, speechless, indeed, Mozi is the ancestor of the Mo family technique, once famous all over the world, the object of the forces of various countries vying to win over, who dares to say that the Mo family mechanism is a cheap industry for workers?
Cen Xiyan continued: "There is also a master of the public loss class at the same time as Master Mozi, who has reached the peak of his skills, can anyone in the world dare to say that the master of the public loss class is humble and low? ”
There are also the ancestors of the Yuanyin Gate, Gongsun Changxiu, and the single family of the organ family, which is not the object of the monarchs of various countries to win over or even compete for......
Cen Xiyan doesn't want to give examples of these one by one, because if he talks too much, I'm afraid it will make people think too much.
Cen Hongmian was speechless when asked by Cen Xiyan, and Cen Xiqin was also a little stunned, not knowing what to do.
After a while, Cen Hongmian came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said: "The sixth sister is right, those who are good at organs, in fact, they have to be classified among the Taoists, but the world has long been accustomed to it, and the masters of the organs are clearly separated from ordinary craftsmen. ”
Cen Hongmian said calmly, Cen Xiyan was a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm just chatting with you and talking casually." ”
At this time, Yingxue came in with a freshly made snack and put it on the table as a snack for everyone.
As soon as Cen Xiqin saw the food, his eyes lit up, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said while eating: "Your topic is too far, it's so serious, it's too boring, let's eat." She caught a glimpse of a box on the table, and couldn't help asking, "Third brother, what is this?" ”
She remembered that it seemed to be something that the third brother had put on the table casually when he came in.
Cen Hongmian looked at the box on the table, and his face suddenly showed embarrassment: "This...... This is ......."
"What is it? Are you still spitting? Cen Xiqin swallowed a mouthful of snacks and asked curiously.
Because of the conversation between the two, the other people in the room also looked at the box.
In fact, Cen Xiyan noticed the box in Cen Hongmian's hand as soon as he entered the house, but he never mentioned it, and she didn't ask, at this moment, seeing Cen Hongmian like this, Cen Xiyan's eyebrows suddenly rose high.
Cen Hongmian looked at Cen Xiyan's gaze, and suddenly his heart was empty, his gaze dodged a little, touched his nose, and said, "This...... Be...... It's Cousin San......"
As soon as Cen Hongmian said the words "Cousin Sang", the faces of the other people in the room suddenly changed!
Cen Xiqin suddenly raised his voice, and said in a somewhat sharp voice: "It won't be what I thought!" ”
As he spoke, he directly reached out and dragged the one in front of him, and opened the lid quickly!
Jingshuang and Yingxue couldn't help but look into the box, and when they saw the familiar books inside, the two girls suddenly turned black!
Cen Xiqin stretched out his hand and took out the "Female Commandment" and "Female Training" inside, and screamed: "Oh my God! Cousin San, should he be so persistent!! ”
