This is a big city. This city includes several small cities around it and several areas. They are all fiefdoms of the King of Han. The original King of Han was the uncle of the current emperor. The basis for fighting for the crown, so he survived, and as a representative of the prince, he was awarded the title of King of Han and got the best piece of land.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to completely control this fiefdom. The officials above him are all the emperor's people. The only thing he can really control is this Guangfeng City.

That is also a thing of the past. The current emperor's sons are all in their 20s, and this Uncle King of Han has long since passed away, and the King of Han is now his legitimate son.After the old man king became king, the curtains were thin and he did not repair them, and his heirs were hindered. When he was old, he was almost sued in court because of his heirs. There were three males in total, and two of them were not his. If there is something to praise for the extreme and indulgent temperament, it is the extreme filial piety to the mother. The reason for this may be that the house fights in the early years made the mother and son depend on each other for life, and the relationship was deeper.

And this old concubine began to practice Buddhism in her early years, and she was willing to do good deeds, and she was most willing to work for Buddhist affairs, so that Buddhism flourished in Guangfeng City. Just walking on the street, you can see several bald people in monk clothes coming and going, as if Buddha country.

People who are new to the city will take a double look at such a scene.

Now that Buddhism is booming, Taoism is bound to be somewhat restricted. Although it is not possible to make some reservations on the surface, compared with the treatment monks receive, it is inevitable that they will be cold. When they come and go, Taoists are often arrogant, and they are not willing to come. This Guangfeng City receives second-class treatment, which is rare.

Mo Bingzhong seemed unaware of this, and walked into the city with Ji Mo, who was also wearing Taoist robes, and was immediately seen as a rare Western scene.

Ji Mo is still a little inexplicable, this rate of turning heads is not normal, he has no shocking looks in his life, he is just ordinary, if you look at it with your favorite filter, you may still be able to see that he is handsome , at most, there is nothing at all, at most there is nothing wrong with the face, the facial features are correct, and the skin is normal, how come so many people pay attention to it?

Others look at him, but he looks at those monks. He has been to many cities, and he has never seen monks who have begged for alms. But compared to those, the monks in Guangfeng City inevitably have much more elegant clothes.

One or two, mostly good-looking people, big girls and young wives, always shyly and timidly when giving money, as if they were handing over a purse.

The demeanor of these monks is also a little less humble, and the forcibly suppressed arrogance seems to be a very special status, which makes people who don't know the preferential treatment of monks see it inexplicably.

After finding a place to stay and putting down their luggage, I just heard the waiter who looked at them with curious eyes talk about the root cause. Guangfeng City also has another name called "Buddha City", which refers to what Buddhists enjoy here. Premium treatment.

"You just came here. I'll find out after a while. It will be Buddha's birthday soon. Then, it will be even more lively!" As a native of the city, Xiao Er seemed to be a little proud. Eloquent.

Influenced by the old concubine, there are quite a few people who believe in Buddhism in the city, and even the robbery is much less, and it can be regarded as a rare and simple place to live.

"I see that there are quite a few people on this street, but they all come to celebrate the Buddha's birthday?" Mo Bingzhong asked casually, and Ji Mo looked at him sideways. Is this because he is curious about the Buddha's birthday?

"Yes and no." Xiaoer put it off, seeing that people were curious, and didn't take the news as money, so he said directly, "These days are going to rebuild the Buddha statue, and more people are needed. If you are lucky, maybe I can still be accepted into the mansion by a wealthy family and have a good way out, otherwise, making money is always true, but it’s a pity that I’m clumsy, otherwise I can get an extra amount of money.”

The rebuilding of Buddha statues is also well-known in the circle of restorers. Guangfeng City is here, and Buddha’s birthday happens every year. Even if the news of this kind of news is behind in the first year, the second year, the third year... ...It will never fall behind every year, not to mention that the price paid is quite a lot, and the restoration of Buddha statues is not a heavy work. It is repaired every year, and there is seldom any major work.Some things such as adding gold leaf and painting, even those who don't know how to make up for it, can also fool one or two ordinary people, so there are many people here to make ends meet.

From not understanding to understanding, that is, the time to learn. There is a kind of inheritance between restorers, and there is also a kind of craftsmanship without inheritance, which can be regarded as the difference between martial arts disciples and casual cultivators. It's not very big, and it doesn't mean that there is a family wall at all. Most of them can be confused with craftsmen, and it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish them.

It is the restorer himself. If there is no master who is well-informed and knowledgeable, I am afraid that he will not know what is going on in the north and south. The information in ancient times is not transmitted quickly. If there is a person whose name runs through the north and south, and everyone knows it, it must be a big deal. Characters, no matter how they fall below the level of "work".

Therefore, the "teacher", which sounds inscrutable, is nothing more than a "worker" in the eyes of those big shots. Without this or that, there is always no need to worry about a substitute.

I have been going back and forth in the ancient world, no matter how disapproving of the ancient class, I have to put it into my usual thinking. I am very clear about the status of technical jobs here, and Ji Mo can treat it with a normal mind. up.

When going out to eat, Ji Mo will also pay more attention to relevant news, because he has devoted himself to this business, and whenever he hears the word "repair", his ears will be sharpened subconsciously.

"...Last year, Wang Kui won the prize of the palace. The name of this chief is really not in vain. I will change my name someday, and see if I can find a way out."

The man at the next table was speechless as he spoke, obviously coveting the lottery of the palace.

"If you think about it, you should also learn the craftsmanship first. Wang Kui is well-known among restorers, and he is a serious disciple of apprentices... I don't know what his skills are like this year. He rarely makes a move. Let's These people can't easily see what others touch."

The idle man at the same table also followed tut, "worker" level "teacher" in the eyes of ordinary people like them, is already very remarkable, there is a saying among the people: learn a skill, you can plant two acres of land.

The wealth and leisure of those craftsmen is already the extreme that ordinary people want but can't get. Others are even unthinkable.

There was a lot of envy and jealousy in the conversation between the two of them, but if they really put in the effort and put in the effort, they probably wouldn't be able to.

Later, when I heard about the restorer, it was inevitable to hear the name of Wang Kui. Speaking of which, Wang Kui is also a well-known figure in the city. The old concubine liked Buddhist things in her early years, but the old prince did not. The name of the teacher, the name of Wang Kui, has never been heard. It was after the death of the old prince. In the past ten years, Wang Kui's reputation has only grown bigger and bigger with the Buddha's birthday every year.

In the beginning, Wang Kui was not called Wang Kui, but he took a restorer surnamed Wang as his teacher. Since ancient times, he has been a son of a man and a servant for a slave. At that time, Wang Kui was not well-known, and he did not show any superb skills in craftsmanship. Come on, Master didn't pay attention to him, and he became famous only after Master left. After becoming famous, he won the first prize of the Wangfu that year. The leader of the so-called restorers changed his name to Wang Kui. name, but few people know it.

They are all in the same business. Ji Mo was a little curious when he first heard about it. Later, he heard a lot, and he inevitably wanted to inquire. It is best to ask the old people in the city about these things. It just so happens that the shopkeeper and his wife in the city where they are staying old man.

The old lady was quite articulate, and she was also a person who ate fast and recited Buddha's name. She looked at her benevolent eyebrows, Mo Bingzhong was bored in the room repairing things, and Ji Mo ran up and down to bring tea and water, and often went to the back kitchen. I greeted each other.

Young people, being filial to their father, is always a good quality. The old lady is happy to see him, and often chats with him a few more times. When Ji Mo asks about Wang Kuilai, she also says that he is good at craftsmanship, but says that he is not as good as his senior brother. It is a pity that his senior brother... Speaking of this, the old lady just sighed, and Ji Mo asked again, but refused to continue, which meant tabooing bad words.

One day they had a happy chat, and the old lady even pulled out a porcelain bowl to show Ji Mo. The porcelain bowl was pressed at the bottom of the cupboard, and it had not been used for an unknown period of time, but it was made by senior brother Wang Kui.

Speaking of it again, it is a pity that that person disrespected the Buddha and committed a taboo, so I never heard of it again.

"What a craft, what a pity..."

Because of this matter, they are also jealous of this bowl, and they refuse to use the good bowl.

Ji Mo took the bowl in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. It was indeed repaired without leaving any traces. Even after many years, after wiping away the floating dust, you can still see the smoothness and delicateness of the surface. It is a pity that it is pure glue, the quality of the glue It may not be able to persist for more than ten years. There are some subtle traces of color difference in some places, but there is no disintegration, but the direction of restoration can be guessed.

The same thing, the same restoration method, come from different hands, there will still be some subtle differences, these differences can be called personal characteristics.

Some people will reduce this kind of personal characteristics, try to make it impossible to find out, but some people will leave this kind of personal characteristics, as if to show their own ability, that kind of me is to leave a secret door, but you are The feeling that I can't see it seems to be a little arrogant.

In order to ensure the perfection of the restoration, this kind of personal characteristics are subtle and not easy to be noticed by laymen. Even an insider like Ji Mo will only have a vague sense of familiarity when he sees it, just as it is rare to see his peers Something to fix, familiarity with this method.

Ji Mo discussed with the old lady, taking this thing up for his father to see, it can be regarded as seeing this kind of craftsmanship, the old lady hesitated for a while, and agreed, "If you don't mind the taboo, just take it and see it, don't be bad Well, that’s all I have, I’ll keep it as a thought..."

Old things, old things, even if they are not worth much, but they were willing to spend money to restore them back then, it has some feelings in itself.

Ji Mo responded again and again, ready to take it to Mo Bingzhong to have a look, whether it is a handicraft of an acquaintance, just look at Mo Bingzhong's proficiency after entering the city, this must be the old place.
