Restorer of Rebirth

As soon as he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door as if agreed.Guo Qici opened the door with a bright face.

"Master Qici, Mr. Ding is here."

Guo Qici looked at himself. There was heating in the room, so he was wearing thin clothes. He always felt that his stomach seemed to be obvious. "Can you see my stomach?"

Fanzi smiled and said, "How can you tell that the clothes are so thick, and who would think that, at most, you will think you have a beer belly."

"That's true." Guo Qici immediately felt relieved, now he is not afraid of others questioning his skills, but it is still a bit awkward to be seen by others.Fanzi carefully protects Guo Qici, now Guo Qici is the most valuable member of the Zhai family, in order to prevent him from being hurt, he has reduced the number of servants again, now the Zhai family is as strong as an iron bucket.

Seeing Fanzi's appearance, Guo Qici thought for a while and said, "Fanzi, are you also interested in restoration?"

Fanzi nodded sharply, "Must, my father and I used to like these antiques very much. After following you, I became more interested in the art of restoration. Although this job is not easy to do, it is very important. There is a sense of accomplishment, which is very interesting.”

Guo Qici can also feel that Fanzi really likes this skill. In just half a year, he greedily absorbs the relevant knowledge like a sponge. Although Fanzi is not as fast as he is in systematic learning, the speed of improvement is also very obvious. , This is the reason why he likes and is willing to work hard.

"What do you think of my skills?"

Without even thinking about it, Fanzi blurted out, "It goes without saying, it must be excellent."

Although the tone is joking, it is sincere.Guo Qici was not as cheerful as usual, he was still serious, Fanzi's heart shivered when he saw it, and he thought he had said something wrong.

"Would you like to be my teacher?"

"Ah?!" Fanzi was stunned, and even forgot to take a step. "Master Qici, you, what did you just say? Didn't I get it wrong?"

"You heard me right, I want to take you in as an apprentice, what do you think?"

Seeing his appearance, Guo Qici couldn't help laughing.If Guo Qici used to be guilty, he might even shrink back, thinking that he was too arrogant, that he would accept apprentices if he didn't learn well, which is simply ridiculous.But now he has great confidence in his skills, and feels that he has the ability to open classes and recruit apprentices, so he will not be affected by the other party's attitude.

During the time spent with Fanzi, Guo Qici felt that Fanzi was an excellent seedling.Fanzi also has an advantage that ordinary young people do not have, that is, he does not worry about external things such as livelihood before he is a teacher like ordinary people.Many ancient skills cannot be passed on now because the society is not as simple as it used to be, and it takes decades to get some clues. The pressure of reality deters many people.

It takes several years to learn how to make paste, and you can't even touch the edge of prosthetics. This is too difficult in the real world.When you don't talk about the partner, the other party knows that you are a mess, who can look up to you.Moreover, there will not be much money, and the pressure to support a family is too great, so it is impossible to study quietly.But Fanzi doesn't have to worry about this problem. Uncle Zhong is the housekeeper of the Zhai family. Fanzi has been indoctrinated since he was a child and will continue to serve the Zhai family. The Zhai family treats the servants very well.Fanzi doesn't have to worry about raising a family, nor does it run counter to his career plan, he likes it, and his family agrees, so he will be a very good candidate for apprenticeship.

As soon as Fanzi came to his senses, he knelt down in front of Guo Qici and kowtowed three times.

"Master, please accept my disciple's respect. Master, disciple, I don't care if what you say suddenly out of your mind is true, I take it seriously, and we will rely on you from now on."

The servants next to him looked over when they heard the noise here, and saw Fanzi's behavior with puzzled faces.Fanzi didn't feel embarrassed at all, her big smile was so bright that it hurt people.

Can you be unhappy, now there are only a few restoration masters in the whole Tianchao, and they all have their own unique skills, but they rarely open classes to accept apprentices.The requirements are very strict, and it is not something you can learn if you want to be pedantic.Although the school also has this course, in fact it can't cultivate any talents. If you really want to learn it, you still have to be taught by the master.

Guo Qici's restoration skills are the best for Fanzi, if he can learn one and a half moves, it will be extraordinary.In fact, Fanzi had moved his mind before, but Uncle Zhong stopped him.It's not that Uncle Zhong doesn't like Guo Qici, on the contrary, he likes Guo Qici too much, so he is more cautious.

The Zhai family is very kind to their family, if they really open their mouths, Mr. Zhai is likely to go along with the flow.And according to their understanding of Guo Qici, as long as Zhai Lao asked, he would definitely agree, but this was something they didn't want to see.They didn't want Guo Qici to take Fanzi as an apprentice because of pressure, not because he valued Fanzi.Although according to Guo Qici's temperament, he would not have any objections to Fanzi because of this, and he would not teach him well from now on, but Uncle Zhong would not allow such a thing to happen.

Besides, Guo Qici is still pregnant, so it's not appropriate to mention these things.Anyway, Guo Qici is still young now, and there will still be opportunities in the future. Now Fanzi can learn a lot by following along, so don't worry about it for a while, which makes Fanzi stop thinking about it.Now Guo Qici took the initiative to mention how to keep Fanzi from getting excited by making the plan ahead of time.

Guo Qici still had a serious face, but the corners of his mouth slightly turned up revealed his inner feelings. "Although I don't have much fame yet, and I can't be hooked with the title of master, the requirements are still very strict. If you can't do it, you will be kicked out of the master."

Fanzi vowed, "Master, don't worry, I will never let you down. I will study hard and will not let you down."

Guo Qici nodded in satisfaction, "I have only been in contact with prosthetics for a short time, and I have no teaching experience, but I will try my best to teach you everything I know. At the beginning, I will do basic exercises, which may be very boring. It will take a long time, but don't underestimate these, thinking that I am making things difficult on purpose, in fact, they are very useful for learning restoration skills in the future."

Fanzi listened carefully, "Understood, I will practice hard."

Only then did Guo Qici make Fanzi stand up, thinking about the procedure of becoming a master and apprentice, he couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, "If you want to become my apprentice, you have to go through a procedure."

Seeing his appearance, Fanzi knew that this was not an easy matter. Famous masters had to go through examinations to recruit apprentices, so it was not surprising that Guo Qici had the request. "Master, you said! No matter how difficult the task is, I will try my best to do it."

Guo Qici gave a fake cough, "This may sound a little weird. If you want to be my apprentice, you want to form an alliance with me by dripping blood, and drink the spirits with our blood."

Fanzi was only slightly taken aback, but immediately agreed.After all, it is a modern society, and this ancient way is indeed rare.But it made Fanzi feel that this is the way it should be. This can also explain why Guo Qici has such a high skill at such a young age. It is estimated that he learned the ancient restoration technique, so the etiquette and so on are all according to that time. .

Seeing that Fanzi didn't feel weird, Guo Qici breathed a sigh of relief.When the Almighty King said this request, for some reason, his first reaction was to engage in superstitious activities, and even thought of playing Gu.Does pregnancy make one's mind go crazy?

The two arrived late, but the distinguished guests did not notice.The distinguished guest was staring at the painting on the wall, deeply attracted by the painting, and did not care when the two arrived.

Seeing Guo Qici now, Mr. Zhai was in a conflicted mood. While he was very happy that he helped the Zhai family stay behind, he regretted that the repair was delayed during pregnancy.Over the years, Mr. Zhai has collected a lot of damaged antiques. Guo Qici's craftsmanship has become more and more mature, and he has a tendency to catch up with Mr. Gu.But now I can only wait. I used to wait for so many years without worrying, but now I feel that I can't wait any longer.

"A Ci, come, this is Mr. Ding."

Guo Qici greeted him politely, and Lao Ding's attention shifted from the painting to Guo Qici. Although he already knew that the painting was restored by a young man, he was still surprised to see the original one.Looking up and down, I can't wait to see that there is such a highly skilled restorer. This skill cannot be learned by chance. It really can be said that it has been honed for decades.

"You restored this painting?"

Ding Lao's tone was not good, he still didn't quite believe that such a young man would possess such superb skills.I couldn't help thinking of Guo Qici's identity, so I guessed whether this young man deliberately found someone to do it in order to attract the attention of the Zhai family.Mr. Ding is a master of copying, and his research on paintings is more detailed, so he can better appreciate the superb restoration skills of this painting.Because of this, it is even more unbelievable that such a young man repaired it.

Guo Qici was not surprised by Elder Ding's doubts, and he didn't feel insulted. Instead, he thought that such doubts were another kind of affirmation—he could do things that his peers couldn't.Although most of the reason is because he owns the system, but this still cannot obliterate his own efforts.And now what he has is real, a wealth that no one else can take away.

Guo Qici raised his head and chest high, with a calm expression on his face, "Yes. Fanzi is my assistant, and he will assist me throughout the whole process."

Mr. Ding knew Fanzi, he was from Mr. Zhai, it was impossible for him to help outsiders deceive the Zhai family, although it was unbelievable, he believed it.There are many capable people in this world, and he also became famous at a young age. Although it is unbelievable, it is not unbelievable.

"Okay! Young people are awesome, just for your skill, I can also sell this painting. But I'm going to live in your Zhai's house, have you prepared a room for me? If not, I can make a bed on the ground."

As soon as these words came out, both Fanzi and Mr. Zhai who knew him well were amazed.Don't see that Ding Lao has always copied others. No matter when "piracy can't be on the stage" and can't compare with the original, Ding Lao is still a legendary figure.Because of this skill, Mr. Ding is admired by the world.The famous paintings he copied can still be sold at high prices, and he is proud to collect his paintings. One can imagine his influence.

It is not easy to ask Mr. Ding to go out of the mountain, and it is simply impossible for him not to take the scroll and copy it at the master's house. Now Mr. Ding proposes how not to surprise the people present.What does this mean? It means that Mr. Ding attaches great importance to it.Although he believed in Mr. Ding's character and would not run away with his paintings, he was always worried about putting such precious paintings in other people's homes, but if he was willing to stay in his own home, he would not have to worry at all.

Old Zhai laughed loudly, "You old man finally let go of your mouth! You can rest assured, it will definitely make you happy."

Ding Lao still had a cold expression on his face, "I haven't finished speaking yet, I have a request."

Old Zhai put away his smile and was vigilant in his heart.

Old Ding snorted coldly, "Look at you, can't you trust my character?"

Fanzi slandered her, but she really couldn't believe it.Mr. Ding is not a very kind person, sometimes he likes a painting and would actually take away the original and give it a fake.Although it was all the old past when he was young, he was so arrogant because he was young and frivolous, and now he has no such unreliable behavior, but it still makes people a little worried.But whoever makes Ding Lao's craftsmanship is so good, the big guy can only turn a blind eye and close his eyes, at worst, it takes a little effort to recover the original painting but it won't be too messy.

Ding Lao ignored them, pointed at Guo Qici and said, "I need this young man's help."

Old Zhai directly refused, "No."

Mr. Ding did not expect Mr. Zhai to refuse so simply, his expression was completely non-negotiable, not at all like his usual style.Mr. Zhai valued these things the most. He could condescend to serve as a servant for the sake of some rags. What happened now?

"It's just a helping hand. The paintings he restored, I can copy them more accurately with him."

"That's not okay." Zhai Lao still had an expression of no discussion, joking, Ding Lao is desperate for work, and when the time comes, he will really tie Guo Qici by his side, and his precious grandson is still alive. Do you want it?If something goes wrong at that time, he will be a sinner of the Zhai family, and he can be kicked out of the house by the old woman at a very old age.

Old Ding stared at Old Zhai with an incredulous expression on his face, and sized him up carefully, "Are you really the old Zhai I know who never dies?"

Old Zhai snorted angrily, "It's as good as fake."

"You didn't even agree to such a small request for a man?"

Fanzi and Guo Qici almost couldn't hold back their rants, why did these words sound so strange.

Old Zhai stared straight at him, "You old and unscrupulous, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the child. You can find someone to help you if you want, but Ah Ci can't. He needs to take good care of him now, and he can't stand your troubles like this. You old man have struggled alone for so many years, when will you need help, don’t make trouble for me. It’s a big deal not to look at the appearance of this painting after finishing touches. Anyway, no matter how much you copy it, it’s not the original painting. We can't see the charm of it."

Ding Lao said: "I'm not asking someone, what about it? What else can I do to your daughter-in-law? Look at how stingy you are, so I don't like to do it for you. Look at how stingy you are. It's annoying, it affects my performance. If I didn't owe you a favor, I would never step into your house in my life, and I would copy paintings for you, bah, it's a good idea."

Old man Zhai didn't believe him, "At this time, I know that I owe me a favor, obviously I want to see the style of Feng Yuanqi's paintings, otherwise can you come over?"

The two old men who combined were over a hundred years old were about to fight endlessly, Guo Qici interjected, "I am willing."

Mr. Ding became more energetic now, "Did you hear that, it's your daughter-in-law's wish, so don't give orders like that. Although a person is married to your family, he is not your slave, and can only obey your orders."

Mr. Zhai ignored Mr. Ding's ridicule, "Son, we can't play our cards right in this matter."

"Dad, I know it in my heart. I won't be able to move now, and nothing will happen."

Mr. Zhai didn't say anything more. In fact, he also hoped that Guo Qici could help. After all, this painting has been restored, and it was badly damaged before, so it may be different from the original painting to some extent.If Guo Qici was there, it would indeed help Mr. Ding better grasp the original painting.But painting is still secondary after all, and people are more important, which makes Mr. Zhai hesitate.

Old Zhai was flabbergasted, and Old Ding said, "So feudal parents are bad, they always like to interfere, how can young people make progress?"

Guo Qici looked sincere: "Mr. Ding, I'm not in good health these days, so there's not much I can do to help, and each time won't be very long, I'm very sorry."

Ding Lao waved his hand, "I don't want you to follow me to do coolies, besides, painting is such an elegant art, don't feel like you want to plow the fields with me when you hear that you give me your hand."

This matter was settled like this, and Guo Qici mentioned it to Zhai Yi at night, and Zhai Yi hesitated for a moment and finally did not object.He just told him not to get tired, and called Fanzi and his servants to tell them to watch out, Guo Qici and Mr. Ding would definitely forget the time when they were busy.He didn't forget to say hello to Mrs. Zhai, Mrs. Zhai, and he told the whole Zhai family, even Yang Xiuzhen.

Mrs. Zhai and Yang Xiuzhen joked that this person tends to become long-winded after getting married.Zhai Yi of their family used to be too lazy to say a few words, speaking well was called cool, but speaking badly was called a language barrier.Now it's just like a mother, they don't know how many times they have heard this kind of exhortation.

Yang Xiuzhen smiled and said that although she was too used to her son, she would not be criticized by others by staring at her nose and eyes in the future, but she was very concerned in her heart.Now Yang Xiuzhen has completely accepted Zhai Yi, and she can see Zhai Yi's care and love for Guo Qici, so she doesn't have to worry that Guo Qici will have a bad life.The only concern has also fallen, and Yang Xiuzhen has more time to be busy with her own affairs. Now she is not only busy with the affairs of the charity foundation, but also started to do some small business and learn more things , every day is fully arranged.The business is running well, and learning enriches her heart, which makes her more confident.

Ding Lao's copied painting was finally released three months later, and Guo Qici's stomach could not be covered at all. Although it was only six months old, it was already horribly big, as if he was going to give birth at full term.When he walks like a penguin, he needs Zhai Yi to help him turn over at night. He feels uncomfortable everywhere in his body, especially the pelvis, waist and thighs, which sometimes don’t feel like his own.The two babies were also very disobedient, and when they moved, their entire stomachs rolled over, as if they were fighting inside.

Seeing his painful appearance, Zhai Yi could only be anxious, and had no choice but to spend more time with him every day.This is not a disease, it is not suitable for repair, Guo Qici can only endure it.

Mr. Ding has always lived in Zhai's house, so he didn't know about Guo Qici's changes. After all, he had experienced big storms, and he wasn't even surprised. Instead, because he liked Guo Qici, he thought it was a great thing.As a secular person, it is inevitable to feel that having a child in a marriage will make the relationship stronger.

Especially since the Zhai family is such a big family, the most difficult thing about marrying a man is the problem of children.Although Guo Qici has a very high talent for restoration, it is conceivable that he will make great achievements in this area in the future, but compared to the strong background of the Zhai family, he is still too weak.Now that I have a child, I have more confidence.As for being a man who can have children, this kind of weird thing is not within the scope of Ding Lao's thinking.

Two paintings hung on the wall, exactly the same.Not to mention Fanzi, even Mr. Zhai was a little dumbfounded.After studying for a long time, I was stunned to be sure which was the original painting and which was the copy.

Old Zhai had to sigh, "Your copying skills are so superb that you even fooled me."

Elder Ding looked smug, with a lollipop in his mouth, he didn't dislike the loose teeth that were left.This painting can be said to be one of the most proud paintings of Mr. Ding in his life. How could he not enjoy seeing the amazing expressions of others. "I shot and even fired the gun? But it's also thanks to your daughter-in-law. If he didn't mention a few things, I would have made a mistake. This Feng Yuanqi is really a character. This painting is really brilliant. I will No matter how similar the painting is, it still cannot be compared with the original work.”

Zhai Yi supported Guo Qici to sit down. Although he was shocked by the two paintings, he never forgot to take care of Guo Qici from the beginning to the end.

Guo Qici didn't stand for long now, and he couldn't take it anymore.Guo Qici knew that pregnancy and childbirth were hard work, but he never knew that it would be so uncomfortable. Fortunately, the people around him have always taken good care of him and cared for him very much, which did not make him overwhelmed psychologically.

Guo Qici felt relieved, so he said, "Do you want to put your eyes on it now?"

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of Ding Lao and Zhai Lao lit up. Although Ding Lao is a master of copying, it is still difficult to create pictures without comparison, let alone such an important finishing touch, he is really not sure at all. No.The more I get in touch with this painting, the more I look forward to him, and I want to see the true style of this lifelike and imposing eagle.

Old Zhai was a little worried and said, "Can you do this?"

Guo Qici's feet are swollen to the point of disbelief now, the original shoes can't fit at all, and now he wears shoes that are several sizes too big, and Zhai Yi will massage him every night.And the hands are not as sharp as before, and they are also a little swollen, but not as serious as the feet.

Guo Qici said firmly, "Yes."

Dotting practice has become Guo Qici's daily routine, especially now that his body is inconvenient and many exercises cannot be performed, so he puts more attention on dotting.Especially knowing that Ding Lao's paintings can be completed during this period, and I don't know how many times I clicked.

Mr. Zhai completely lost his doubts, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Zhai Yi helped Guo Qici up from the sofa and asked Fanzi to take down the painting on the left.Fanzi looked at Ding Lao, and Ding Lao smiled knowingly, feeling more at ease with Guo Qici.Guo Qici seldom entered the studio two months ago, and now he can tell the authenticity at a glance. Although it hurts his self-esteem, it shows how familiar he is with this painting.This child can add eyes, definitely not empty talk, such a person is qualified to break ground in his works.

When Guo Qici picked up the pen, Zhai Yi nodded towards him, his eyes full of trust without any doubt.

Guo Qici smiled slightly, and turned his attention to the picture.The movements are smooth and flowing, without a trace of hesitation.

Become!
