The reborn star, the 80-year-old lady became popular with her whole life

Chapter 57 57, Manzhu

"How is that possible?"

Meng Tong's eyes widened in disbelief.

The results of the World Embroidery Competition have come out. Her work failed miserably and was not even ranked in the top ten. However, Li Xiqin's work, the simple "Manzhu", actually came in "second place".

"There must be a mistake somewhere, they must have made a mistake!"

Meng Tong murmured, she has always been the sweet girl of heaven. She has been outstanding among her peers since she was a child. She has rarely encountered opponents. This time she suddenly encountered a major setback. It was really difficult to accept it for a while!

Mr. Meng snorted heavily!

"I told you not to be arrogant and complacent, but you just didn't listen. Are you getting hit now? In my opinion, this blow comes at just the right time. It's time for you to wake up!"

"Grandpa..." Meng Tong's eyes were red and he bit his lip and said nothing!

After all, Mr. Meng felt sorry for his granddaughter and softened his tone.

"Tongtong, I told you that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the embroidery industry, and there are many talented people. You can never blind your eyes with one leaf and miss Mount Tai. Like this time, the works of Suzhou embroidery and Guangdong embroidery are both ranked in the top ten, so it is not that there is no one in our country.

You must know your position clearly."

Meng Tong nodded.

"Grandpa, I understand! I was wrong when I dismissed other factions. I will definitely learn a lesson!"

"That's right!" Mr. Meng was very pleased, "Come on, let's analyze what's so good about these top ten works!"

The news of the embroidery competition spread throughout the embroidery world like a gust of wind. The factions whose works were exhibited were very concerned about it, but the result was unexpected!

The highest-ranking works in the Chinese embroidery industry do not come from the four famous embroidery schools, but from private embroidery works.

The name is "Manzhu"!

There was an uproar!

Today, with the innovation of modern industrial technology, although the embroidery industry has lost its former glory, there are still many capable people among the four major factions, and there are many who are as arrogant as Meng Tong.

So everyone didn't take it seriously at first for this little-known newcomer.

It’s a competition, but there aren’t a lot of shady things!

Everyone was shocked when they saw the work.

Those who are truly knowledgeable will naturally know the value of this work!

"Master, really a master..."

"I didn't expect that there would be a successor to the butterfly embroidery method. It's really a great blessing."

"Another talent has emerged in our embroidery industry, which is great!"

"I heard that the author's name is Li Xiqin."

"Well, it's exactly the same as that celebrity's name, it's just a coincidence!"

"I really want to see this work with my own eyes as soon as possible..."

In this way, the names of Manzhu and Li Xiqin spread among the niche community of embroidery.

It is not known yet.

…

"Lao Wen, Lao Wen!"

Early in the morning, old man Wen Changyun's door was knocked open.

"Lao Ai?"

Wen Changyun was shocked. Although this old man was more than ten years younger than him, he was still in his sixties. When he looked at it, his face was full of exhaustion and dust.

What's going on?

"Come in quickly, what's going on? Why don't you just call me if you have anything to do, and why are you running here like this?" Wen Changyun poured him a cup of tea.

Lao Ai wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out a few pictures from his briefcase: "Lao Wen, look at this."

Wen Changyun took it suspiciously, put on his reading glasses and looked at it carefully.

"This is the Qi School's painting method..." Wen Changyun recognized it after a few glances. "The Qi School's painting method is good at details. These pictures are very skillful. The clothes and temples are all lifelike. This person has extremely deep skills.

ah."

"Do you know who painted it?"

Wen Changyun shook his head.

"It's not your student's work? Or do you know someone who is good at this kind of work?"

"My students are good at landscapes. Qi-pai painting is too complicated, so not many people know it now. And people now prefer the expression of shadow lines in modern painting methods, so Qi-pai painting is really rare. Even I rarely draw anymore."

Wen Changyun regretted that he was actually not good at the Qi style of painting. The master said that his hands were too "thick" and not suitable for this kind of painting, so he only taught some hastily, and now it is really facing the loss of the art.

"Where did you get this painting?"

"This is not a painting, this is embroidery."

Wen Changyun was stunned, picked up the painting and looked at it carefully again, and couldn't help but admire it again and again.

"It's amazing!" You must know that Qi Pai's painting method itself is famous for its complex lines. It takes a lot of energy to draw a picture, let alone embroidering this picture, which relies solely on lines and no color at all. .

"This is a masterpiece."

Wen Changyun said excitedly.

"Yes! This is the second place work in this year's embroidery competition. Now the embroidery world has gone crazy. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to seeing the real work."

Lao Ai explained.

"I just think this painting should be by you or your disciple, so I came here to ask." Lao Ai smiled, "You also know my temper, I am very fiery. If I have anything to do, I will do it quickly. I was afraid that the explanation was not clear, so I came here early in the morning."

Wen Changyun was speechless. He is still a master in Suzhou embroidery world, but this old man is still like a child.

"Now I am also very interested in the author of this painting. I wonder who the author of this embroidery is? He must know the details, right?"

"Her name is Li Xiqin!"

"Qin Ma?"

Wen Xiaoxiao, who had stayed up all night, came to get a glass of water when he heard people talking about "Li Xiqin", so he casually picked it up.

"Xiao Xiao? Do you know Li Xiqin?"

"I know you." Wen Xiaoxiao knew Ai Lao, so he answered readily, "Grandpa Ai, why are you looking for Qin Ma?"

"Xiao Xiao, are you talking about the star Li Xiqin on TV?"

Wenchang Yun vaguely has this impression.

"Yes, then who are you talking about?"

"What your Grandpa Ai is looking for is the embroidery master Li Xiqin..."

This is embarrassing.

Wen Xiaoxiao held the water glass.

"What a coincidence...what, Grandpa, Grandpa Ai, I want to go back to my room."

"This kid!" Wen Changyun shook his head, "Don't mind."

"It's okay." Ai Lao didn't mind at all, "Let's do this. I'll ask around first and tell you if I have any news."

"Okay, let me know if you have any news."

…

At the end of a week of double matches, Nightmare rarely opens his trumpet to relax and play.

I saw a long-lost person in the friend group!

【Stop dreaming】???J?Are you back?

【J】...you know me?

【Stop dreaming】????

【J】Do you know me personally?

[Stop dreaming] We have never met, but we played games together! So you are not the same person?

【J】I am! Well...I had a car accident before and lost some memories, so...

[Stop dreaming] No wonder you haven’t heard from you for almost a year! You told me that you were going on a business trip for a while, but I didn’t expect it to take so long!

【J】I used to queue with you?

[Stop dreaming] It’s not often, you said you want to accompany your wife!

【J】????Wife!!!!!I’m married?

[Stop dreaming] This... I don't know! She should be my girlfriend, that's what they are called in the game!

[Stop dreaming] Of course, it might just be an excuse...

【J】I’ll get off first, and we’ll talk later!
