Hearing Cai Xiaowen's self-registration number.Most of the potters who participated in the appraisal were taken aback.Some of them are well-informed and already know that Su Yang was attacked, so they probably cannot participate in Tao Jian.But they may not have thought that the little-known Cai Xiaowen would replace Su Ying as a reference.Although Cai Xiaowen was appointed as an official pottery by the princess, in the eyes of the potters in Yixing, she just used some weird pottery to please the princess, and she should not be compared with her senior sister Su Ying.So some people were somewhat surprised and secretly delighted.It seems that Su Ying really can't participate, and Cai Xiaowen is nothing to worry about.

President Tao Hui standing on the high platform saw Cai Xiaowen present, and knew that the leader had changed his mind.He called a waiter and whispered a few words.The waiter took the order and left.After a while, the president looked around at the seats, and he could already find a few big men who were looking around vigilantly with piercing eyes.This is what the president promised to Taidou to do his best.If someone wants to interfere with Cai Xiaowen's game in broad daylight, it should be impossible.

Before the gong tied with red silk rang, the master of ceremonies first asked Cai Xiaowen: "This girl, is a disciple of the lotus builder, Cai Xiaowen?"

Cai Xiaowen replied loudly: "I am Cai Xiaowen!"

The master of ceremonies saw that Cai Xiaowen came naked, and she didn't bring anything. She thought she didn't know the rules, so she should remind her: "Miss Cai, today you will have a body shaping competition. You can bring your own tools. If you didn't bring them, you can send someone to get them now." .” The bamboo knife on the table is just the most basic tool.In today's world, the tools used by most potters are relatively simple.But no matter how simple it is, you will need one or two more delicate tools to assist in shaping.Su Ying is an exception, she has all kinds of tools that can cover a table.Except for her exception, all the potters present more or less prepared their own tools and put them on the work table.That's why the master of ceremonies reminded Cai Xiaowen like this.

Cai Xiaowen picked up the bamboo knife on the case, flipped it twice in his hand, and felt that it was easy to hold, so he said to the master of ceremonies: "No need. This bamboo knife is enough for me."

As soon as the words fell, the people watching the game let out a low exclamation.The potters all turned their heads to look at Cai Xiaowen, most of them looked disdainful.Tan Hua wanted to smile at Cai Xiaowen, but she was so nervous that she forced a smile as if she was crying.

Hearing what Cai Xiaowen said, the master of ceremonies didn't bother to persuade him, and raised his arms and shouted: "Then, this Jiangnan Tao Jian, please!"

when!

The clear and crisp sound of the gong, turning around slowly, opened the prelude to Tao Jian, which is regarded as a major event by Yixing people.

More than a dozen waiters went down to the venue to distribute clay to each potter.A waiter brought a mud tower and placed it on the tall table at the front of the central open space.The nine-story mud pagoda is called "Nine Treasures Pagoda" in jargon.The potters need to use the same amount of mud to restore this mud tower.Each layer must be carved to meet the standard.The finer and more delicate the sculpture, the smaller the interval between layers, and the more layers can be molded.For this requirement, within the specified time, potters need to mold at least nine layers.If it is less than nine layers, it will be judged as a failure.If there are more than nine layers, and each layer meets the standard, the more molded, the higher the score.The rules of Jiangnan Tao Jian are divided into items, made on the spot, and scored for each item.The sequence is shaping, firing, and coloring. This time, purple sand is also added. Finally, the potter is free to make a pottery, which is a major item in the competition.Therefore, in every competition, Master Tao needs to strive for the top, so that it is more likely to win the championship.

Pouring water, mixing mud, and dividing into pieces, Cai Xiaowen completed every step meticulously.Shaping is one of her self-confidence.She was lucky that body shaping was included in the first competition.She didn't see the contempt for her from the potters present.She only wanted to carve a blockbuster mud tower.Make yourself a thorn in the side of the murderer...

She squinted and saw that Tan Hua on the right had already carved out the base of the tower.The speed is really fast... Cai Xiaowen smiled inwardly, rubbed his tired eyes with the back of his hands that did not occupy the mud, then calmly put the reconciled mud on the turntable, bent down and began to make the first piece of "Nine Treasures Pagoda". layer……

Ping, bang, bang... All the bowls, cups, and pots on the table were swept off and smashed to pieces on the ground.Su Ying put her head down into her left arm, fell on the table, panting.The fragments on the ground have exhausted her feelings.Before Su Ying woke up, it was rare to see Qin Boshan waiting at the bedside to help her change her dressing.She thought that she could no longer stay in bed, so she got up by herself.Difficult to dress, wash carefully, are barely finished.Until she wanted to pour a glass of water, she just pinched the teacup with two fingers of her right hand, and the numbness came from the wound on her hand, and her entire right arm was in severe pain in an instant.The pain was unbearable, and Su Yang's heart became anxious.The uncontrollable heat, accompanied by a loud roar, drove the still moving left hand to sweep all the innocent decorations on the table and smash them to pieces.

"Huh...huh..." Su Ying panted heavily, sat back on the round stool, pinched her left sleeve to wipe off the cold sweat on her face.While wiping her sweat, she talked to herself, trying her best to calm herself down: "Anxiety is useless, anxiety is useless... Even, even if the right hand is bad, I can't get rid of it... I still want to raise mosquitoes... Su Qing , Su Yang, cheer up..." She forced herself to stand up, and slowly moved out.

Tai Dou and Youqin Boshan are not at home.Su Ying guessed that she probably went to see Tao Jian, so she didn't think too much about it.It was the mosquito that hadn't appeared yet that made her worry.

Cai Xiaomozi, are you still in Wuxi and won't come back... Bullying me is a one-armed girl who can't deal with you now, right... You wait, you wait for me... Su Qing viciously asked Cai Xiaowen to wait.Just as she was about to put on a fierce expression, her right hand seemed to sense the pain, and she felt the pain in time, directly distorting Su Huang's eyebrows. "It's the third day, and it still hurts so much. Is it really going to be abolished..."

Thinking about it this way, staying at home is also boring.Su Qing went out with a heavy heart, and walked slowly from the small street to the main street.There are very few pedestrians on the street, not even many street vendors.It seems that Tao Jian's attraction to Yixing people is really extraordinary.With pain in her hand and fear in her heart, Su Qing didn't want to see Tao Jian at all.She walked along the street aimlessly, and began to seriously think about what to do if she really couldn't be Tao anymore...

If you can't make pottery, the pottery shop at home will definitely not be as good as before... Su Ying stared at her toes as she walked, with her right hand hanging by her side, not daring to use force at all: although the pottery made by the kiln masters would not be affected.But those pottery are ordinary after all.Without the blessing of my ninth-grade pottery, the Su family pottery shop will eventually become a mediocre pottery kiln and be swallowed up by other potters.Fortunately, Little Mosquito is now an official pottery, and Yufeng will only have one official pottery in the future...

Thinking of this, Su Ying's heart was sore, and she let out a long sigh.She really loves pottery.If her right hand is crippled, half of her life will be crippled.The other half needs to be found by herself: or be a potter?According to the pottery shop at home, use the big kiln to produce some ordinary pottery, and also do pottery business?Hey, I don't like business.But in order to make a living, I can only... I'm so hungry...

Hungry, this can temporarily suppress all Su Yang's troubles.She raised her head and looked around, trying to find a food stall to fill her stomach.There happened to be a food stall on the corner of the street not far away. Su Ying bought twenty mutton stuffed buns and wrapped a big one with dried lotus leaves.After eating three buns, she breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down the speed of taking the buns.Next to the food stall is a painting stall.Holding Baozi in her arms, Su Ying turned her head to look at the signature banner of the painting booth.

"Painting is not what you want to draw, you can draw if you want to draw..." Su Qing couldn't help reading and reading a word, and chewing a bun after reading a word.

The stall owner, who was immersed in painting, heard Su Ying reading her banner, raised her head and said with a smile, "Young lady, do you paint?"

Surprised, Su Yang quickly swallowed the steamed stuffed bun and looked.I saw that the stall owner was a young woman. The red robe on her body had been washed out, but she was clean.The appearance is not as poor and shabby as the robe.Just looking up like this, the woman's eyes flickered, flowing with water, charming and charming.The facial features are exquisite, quite classical in landscape painting.It just so happened that she was a famous painter, so her appearance matched her profession very well.

With a thought in her mind, Su Ying thought of herself: I can also draw!After all, the right hand is not cut and split, so it should not be completely unusable.Although the palm is not flexible, it is still possible to hold a pen.Painting is also a way...

Thinking of this, she sat down on the bench in front of the booth and put the bun back into the lotus leaf: "What do you want to draw, Miss?"

The woman in red couldn't help chuckling: "I can draw whatever you want. Or just draw your half body."

"Okay, okay." Su Ying wanted to chat with her a few more words to understand the market situation in the painting world, in case she had to change careers as a last resort, so she chatted after she started writing: "What's your name, girl?"

"My name is 'Master Xiao Chen'."

"Master Xiao Chen? This is rare..."

"Hey, the one who made small noises for fun, yelled and yelled like that in the neighbors. In fact, there is no such thing as an adult, he is just a poor painting seller. Hey."

Su Ying listened to her frankness, so she didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Can your art booth handle the daily expenses?"

Master Xiao Chen glanced at Su Ying, and said: "That's enough. I live with Fa Xiao. She teaches in the library and can subsidize the family. She can make ends meet."

Hearing what she said, the fire of hope in Su Ying's heart dimmed a bit: "This way..."

"But it doesn't matter. I'm saving money now. When I have enough travel expenses to buy a good brush, I will go to the Beijing Painting Department to take an ultimatum for a painter. Then I can teach painting in a painting hall. The monthly salary of a painter is quite good. Do it In a few years, I can still open a small art gallery!" Master Xiao Chen's brows were full of hope, and his voice was full of joy: "Everything is on the way, it's just a matter of time. Hehe."

Her optimism ignited the flame of hope that Su Yang had almost extinguished.For her, it is not a problem to be a painter, and it is not even a problem to open a painting studio.She can still get the money.In comparison, in an instant, she was several years faster than Master Xiao Chen on the road of life.Master Xiao Chen is full of hope, why should she be pessimistic.Su Ying figured this out, finally smiled, sat upright, and said in her heart: "Little mosquito is a potter, and I am a painter, so it is a match."I can afford her too.There is really no dead end in life... I can still paint on the pottery made by the little mosquito, and it is still a joint production of the two of us... Oh, why didn't I think of it a long time ago... With the little mosquito around, I don't know how to work with Tao insulation...

Su Ying was holding the steamed stuffed bun over there, thinking wildly from bitter to sweet.Tao Jian's competition here is in full swing.Most of the potters have completed the sculpture of the nine-story pagoda.But most of the majority stopped the bamboo knife after completing the ninth floor.The ninth floor is already their limit.And Tan Hua from Shansegong is carving the top of the No.12-story pagoda.No more mud, this is her tallest tower top.When drawing the last spiral pattern, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.There are many variables in the production on the spot, and no matter how strong the potter is, it is possible to make mistakes.And she achieved the twelfth floor, and if she performed perfectly, she would definitely get a high score.

when!Another gong sounded to remind the audience that the time for the competition was approaching.Tan Hua put down the bamboo knife, just about to wipe the sweat off her face.Suddenly I heard Cai Xiaowen on my left asking questions to the master of ceremonies.

"May I ask how high is the 'Nine Treasures Pagoda' in Jiangnan Taojian?"

The whole audience was stunned.The master of ceremonies didn't understand what Cai Xiaowen meant by asking this, so he answered truthfully: "The fifteenth floor. It's from Zhong Honggong."

Cai Xiaowen nodded, bent down and squeezed out a tiny eaves from the tip of the mud tower in front of him.Tan Hua watched from the side, wondering what Cai Xiaowen wanted to do.She couldn't see exactly how many floors Cai Xiaowen's tower had been built, but she could see the eaves that had just been made on the top.The corners of the eaves, which are smaller than half a fingernail, are not as thick as the blade of a bamboo knife.It is impossible to carve the tile marks on the eaves with a bamboo knife.

Cai Xiaowen put down the bamboo knife and pulled out a hair from the corner of his forehead.

"Ah!" Tan Hua exclaimed in a low voice.She suddenly understood Cai Xiaowen's intention.Sure enough, Cai Xiaowen leaned down and strangled the mud eaves with his hair.The soft yellow mud was drawn into beautiful tile marks under the hair filaments.And the remaining mud that was pressed to the side by the hair, between Cai Xiaowen's two fingers, pinched into a pinnacle as small as a grain of rice.Cai Xiaowen's Nine Treasures Pagoda has been completed.

when!The third gong sounded.time up.

The waiters ran into the venue one after another, counting the number of floors of the Nine-Treasure Pagoda made by each potter.For a while, the audience was silent, only the sound of counting was heard one after another.

Nine floors... nine floors... most of them are nine floors, and occasionally ten floors, which is very rare.After counting Tan Hua's nine-treasure pagoda, the people watching the game gave warm applause to the "twelve floors!"Everyone thought that the winner of this item would be Shan Segong.Ling Xiaolou pursed his lips and stared at Tan Hua's side face, holding Dudu tightly in his arms.

And they forgot that there was another person whose layers were not reported.

The waiter in front of Cai Xiaowen's case frowned tightly, bent over and counted the mud towers in front of him again.With this one, he counted three times.Absolutely.So he straightened up and shouted: "Ten... sixteen floors!"

The cheering stopped suddenly.The master of ceremonies thought he heard it wrong, and asked again: "How many floors?"

"Sixteen floors!"

The strong wind picked up again, blowing away Cai Xiaowen's long hair again.Without two hair buns, she was not used to the long hair floating on her cheeks.Supporting the case, she raised her hand to press down her sore eyes.There was no sound all around, she didn't need to see their expressions.Because, everyone knows who the winner of this competition is.Cai Xiaowen heard the sound of a bamboo knife falling to the right beside him...

"The painting is almost finished, girl, don't worry." Mrs. Chen immersed herself in coloring the painting for quite a while.

"I'm not in a hurry." Su Yang's mood improved, and she was indeed not in a hurry.It's just that the pain in the right hand is a bit unbearable, and it's time to go back and change the medicine.

At this moment, a girl in blue came up behind Mrs. Chen, patted her left shoulder, and dodged to hide on the right.Sure enough, Master Xiao Chen looked to the left first, but there was no one there, and then he looked to the right, smiling helplessly and sweetly.

"Really, I'm drawing."

The girl in blue held a few books in her hands, folded her palms together and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Master Xiao Chen lowered her head again: "Why did you come back so early today?" She suddenly remembered to introduce to Su Ying: "This is my childhood friend. All the brats call her Mr. Lin."

Miss Lin nodded and smiled at Su Ying, and then answered Master Chen's question: "Tao Jian, the students are not in the mood to study today. I simply let them leave school early to see Tao Jian's results."

"The drawing is finished...!" Mrs. Chen put down the pen, and moved the drawing paper to Su Ying: "Girl, are you satisfied with it? Tao Jian has it every year, and everyone still misses it so much."

"This time is different. When I came back, I heard that Yufeng's senior sister was injured, and her junior sister competed for her. There are many variables in Tao Jian this time."

Su Ying had just finished watching the painting, and was about to praise Master Chen for his good painting.But hearing Miss Lin's words, she already forgot what she wanted to say.

"Say it again! Is there someone in Yufeng who can learn from it?! Is it called Cai Xiaowen?!"

"Yes! It's Cai Xiaowen. Do you know her?"

Little Mosquito Cai!You stupid!

Su Qing got away and ran, knocking over the bench behind her.Master Xiao Chen saw that she was going to run away, so he was anxious: "Miss, you haven't paid me yet!"

Su Ying grabbed a handful of copper coins and broken silver from her belt and threw them on Mrs. Chen's painting table, and continued to run.She couldn't move her right hand, it was hanging by her side, and she couldn't run fast.And with the shaking of the body, the sting of the wound became more and more intense.Su Ying no longer cared about the pain.Her heart was about to burn, and her eyes were sore from the burning, but she was too dry to shed tears.Chest heavy, breathless like a big stone: You idiot!I have already been plotted against, why do you want to go to danger again!Why do you want to participate for me...Little mosquito, please don't get into trouble!

Su Qing staggered and tried her best to move forward. Fortunately, there were few pedestrians on the road, so she didn't bump into the traffic.When she ran to the side of Tao Jian's school field, the people watching the game were dispersing, and there was a crowd of people.Su Ying walked against the current, grasped her right wrist with her left hand, and tiptoed anxiously looking for Cai Xiaowen.Where is the shadow of Cai Xiaowen.Su Ying was pushed back by the crowd and rushed forward, but finally she was exhausted.When the people around her cleared up, she was already standing on the corner street.

Little mosquito... If something happens to you, I won't live anymore... The more Su Qing thinks about it, the more serious she gets. She didn't care to wipe off the sweat from her face, and was about to run into the school grounds to look for it again.Suddenly I heard a voice behind me: "Senior Sister?"

Su Ying turned around in a daze.Cai Xiaowen was standing behind him, holding a half-bitten bun in his hand.

"Why are you here? I'm starving to death. I just went to buy buns. Ah, senior sister, do you want to eat? It tastes very..."

Snapped!

With this slap, the bun fell to the ground, Cai Xiaowen was stunned, and tears blurred his vision somehow.Before Cai Xiaowen could feel the sharp pain on his face that was about to disperse, he was hugged tightly by Su Yang with one hand, and there was a scalding pain on his shoulder in an instant.

"Don't cry... Grapefruit...don't cry..."

The author has something to say:

I just want to realize the dream of Mr. Chen... I don’t know Mrs. Chen, you can ignore it haha ​​senior sister, it’s not easy to paint, so don’t go grab his job.Be your pottery obediently.

Little mosquito, let your senior sister hug you enough.She is going crazy.

ps. Thank you speed girl for mine, so shy and wavy line
