Chapter 75 Folding Screen
"Of course I know," An Xin replied nonchalantly.

Xu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, "Do they have any objections? You are an apprentice with me in name, but in reality you are almost like a nanny, you can do everything."

"If they have any opinions, they all point at me to live." An Xin curled her lips and said to Xu Jingxing, "Master, don't worry, I can take care of my family's affairs."

"That's good," Xu Jingxing smiled wryly to himself, why couldn't he be as free and easy as a little girl?
Forget it, don't worry about it, just rest assured that you don't have an opinion. As for other people's opinions, they can take whatever they like.As for the question raised by my sister, it is obviously even more unreliable. That girl likes to mess up the mandarin ducks when she has nothing to do. In the past two days, she has said a lot of good things about Yang Liu, saying that Yang Liu is more suitable to be a wife than Yu Hanqing, etc. He even compared them one by one with his fingers, and he didn't know where he heard the fallacies.

The days returned to calm like this. Xu Jingxing was like an ordinary office worker. He worked every day during the day and went back to the hospital on time to accompany his sister at night. However, he was in a good mood and his work efficiency improved a little. The red sandalwood furniture presents their ultimate beauty, and the most beautiful and eye-catching is the folding screen that he specially designed for Zhou Zhenshan.

This set of screens was not in the original plan, Zhou Zhenshan thought of it on the spur of the moment and asked him to help make one.

Xu Jingxing received Zhou Zhenshan's kindness, and he didn't know how to repay it. He could only try his best to make every piece of furniture well, so he spent a lot of thought when designing this set of screens, and he specifically asked Yang Liu for advice before deciding on the details. style.

In the end, I decided to make a set of pure red sandalwood carvings with hollow plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum screens.

The so-called pure red sandalwood carving is not using any other materials, all use red sandalwood.

As for plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, it is a very traditional theme, which is quite in line with Zhou Zhenshan's requirements. However, he did not simply carve a picture or a line of poems on the screen fan, but used the engraving technique. Four paintings of "plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum" were carved on the screen fan, and these paintings were all carved from his own original works as models.

The finished product is 1.86 meters high and 0.26 meters wide. It adopts a carved outer frame. The outer frame and the screen core are connected with hollow moiré patterns. The screen core is divided into two parts. The upper 1.2 meters is the main screen core. The pattern of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum is carved on it, and the 0.4 meters below is solid, and related poems are carved with bas-relief techniques. The poems are painted with a little golden ink before waxing, and then polished again to make them more eye-catching The golden handwriting has become a little more old.

And the most eye-catching thing about this screen is the carving, especially the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum carved on the screen core. With such a large size, he has grasped the details very well. The places that should be rough are rough, and the places that should be delicate Meticulous, especially the clump of bamboo, which looks real at first glance, and the bamboo leaves are lifelike, as if they are still swaying in the wind.

This kind of extremely realistic creation technique is currently what Xu Jingxing is best at, because his arm strength is great, and his control over knives is far beyond ordinary people. He can easily carve extremely hard red sandalwood into bamboo leaves as thin as cicada wings. You can even carve the thin veins of bamboo leaves on it.

Of course, there must be master woodcarvers who can do this, but their efficiency is definitely not as high as Xu Jingxing's.Carving such a clump of bamboo with a height of about one meter would normally take ten days for a wood carver, but Xu Jingxing only took five days to complete it. This was due to his lack of proficiency.

A clump of bamboo that looks like it is swaying in the wind, a delicate orchid with lush leaves, a plum blossom with strong branches and delicate flowers, and chrysanthemums that are blooming in full bloom in the entire screen core, and four leaves with different postures. The combination of flowers and grass screen cores is quite harmonious.

The tall and straight bamboo is next to the delicate and graceful orchid grass, and the lonely and fragrant plum blossoms are under the delicate and beautiful chrysanthemums in full bloom.

The most important thing is that this exquisite screen can also be matched with other furniture. Although the workmanship is more exquisite and complicated than other furniture, the theme and style are as traditional, and it can dilute some old-fashioned things that are too strong.

When a set of screens was placed in the room, Zhou Zhenshan couldn't help applauding, "It's so beautiful, I like it so much, Xiao Xu, do you have any explanations for this?"

Xu Jingxing smiled, "There are so many sayings, it's just a decorative and practical object, and it's just carved with some patterns for the sake of beauty. Of course, we can also talk about the workmanship and subject matter. The workmanship has already been told to you. The purest mortise and tenon joint structure can be disassembled and installed, and the replacement of parts does not affect the overall structure at all. The theme, the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, is generally used to express one’s feelings.”

"Yes, yes, that's what it means," Zhou Zhenshan nodded seriously, walking around the villa while talking, carefully examining every piece of furniture.

The heavier objects, such as the huge Arhat bed and the treasure cabinet, are directly spliced ​​together in the room, so that there is no need to move them around. Then an Arhat bed weighs hundreds of kilograms. Then move it into the room, let alone whether you can get in, the weight alone will exhaust you to death.

Therefore, most of the furniture has already been placed in the corresponding room, and it is enough to move it a little after the decoration is completed.

In this way, after walking around, you can guess what the furniture will look like in the future, which is equivalent to seeing the effect of the decoration in advance.

Zhou Zhenshan was very satisfied with the effect of these furniture, wandered around and said with a smile: "Now it's time to pay the bill?"

Xu Jingxing nodded, "If you have no other questions, it is indeed time to settle the bill."

"Of course it's okay. I'm very satisfied, very satisfied. What you've done is even better than I imagined," Zhou Zhenshan praised with a smile. His expression and tone were exactly the same as when the elders praised the younger.

You don't have any relationship with this old man, do you?

Xu Jingxing was taken aback by his guess, otherwise he really couldn't understand why old man Zhou was so kind to him.Before, he thought that old man Zhou had other plans for him, but after contacting him for more than a month, he denied his previous guess.

Thinking about it, that's the only possibility.

In his memory, there are only two relatives, his father and his sister, and his impression of his mother is very, very vague, and there are only one or two hazy images in his brain.In addition, he has never seen or heard his father mention his other relatives since he was a child, such as grandparents and grandparents.
