Jinghua Tianjiao

Chapter 97 Surprise!Yu Ji outside the dream

"Sure, don't forget, these silk figurines were made directly in the doll factory at that time, retaining the original appearance of the silk figurines at that time, and their foundation is thick, and the mold is also strong, which is most suitable for making changes on it. The silk figurines in the display cabinets are made in the past two years. The molding methods and materials are different, and they have basically reached an excellent standard. It will damage the original appearance of the silk figurines. It’s better to use those old silk figurines, just change their clothes, re-makeup, and add accessories to them.”

There is some truth to what my mother said, but Du Juan is always worried about other problems, "That's fine, Mom, but these days I let them practice with the silk figurines in the showcase, and now they suddenly have to change them. ..."

"Don't you know how to tell them yes? My daughter, now you have the final say in Jinghuafang. You are their leader and the one who gives orders. You shouldn't have so many worries. Learn more from Wenxin , Look at Wenxin, work is work, and feelings are feelings, so they must be separated."

It's just that I'm too indecisive and doesn't have the courage like Wen Xin. Du Juan's career experience has only just started.

"Clean up, I'll get you the silk figurine, and I'll take it to the studio in a while. You are a brand new team. It's enough to get this silk figurine done."

Du Juan has to be convinced by her mother's rich experience. Although she is in charge of the studio and starts a new career entirely on her own, she still cannot do without her mother's support behind her.

Here comes the silk man!Familiar dress, the feeling of deja vu.

The silk figure that my mother found at the bottom of the box looked so familiar.The first time Du Juan saw her, the familiar "He Gai Xia Ge" seemed to ring in her ears again.It's Yu Ji, isn't this the silk figurine I made with the princess and Du Xiaoniang in my dream?How did it appear here?Du Juan took the silk figurine and looked at it carefully. What Yu Ji was holding was a long sword.Du Juan suddenly felt a chill down her back, how could this be possible!Although the silk concubine Yu Ji in front of her was an old silk figure, Du Juan saw that her sad eyes were very similar to those in a dream that night.

"Juanjuan, Juanjuan..."

After recovering, my mother looked at herself, "What are you thinking, why are you still distracted?"

"Mom, when was this... the silk figurine made?"

"It was made before the doll factory was disbanded. It was the last batch of old silk figurines at that time. You forgot, you were the one who put the long sword on it at that time."

"Me?" Du Juan didn't believe what her mother said, she tried her best to recall the past, and it seemed that there was such a thing, but the memory was very vague.Could it be that the dream that I gave Yu Ji a silk product a long sword in a dream actually happened in reality?
Mom nodded, "Yes, look at your memory, it's not as good as mine! You forgot, when Yu Ji's first product came out, I originally wanted to give her a ribbon, you told the story of Yu Ji It's too tragic, the long sword can better express Yu Ji's mood at that time."

"Oh, there seems to be such a thing." Du Juan didn't know how to admit it, but she could remember a little bit. The dream was all in her mind. In the dream, there was a hallucination and a conversation with Yu Ji, so it was hard to tell. Is it a dream or something that happened in the past.

"Well, girl, you can take it with you this time. Although this concubine Yu was said to be the last batch of silk figurines in the puppet factory at that time, the workmanship is relatively fine. It was made by the master and several master craftsmen at that time. But now you can also see that its clothing, accessories, and face painting are not very clear, it depends on how you give it a new look. The silk figurines produced by the old silk flower factory are better than those we see in the market now The ones should be bigger, like this Concubine Yu is 30 centimeters tall, the bigger the height, the more details can be shown, you have to pay more attention."

Du Juan said, "Mom, I will definitely take care of it." The reality is surprisingly similar to the dream, this is the arrangement of fate, and Du Juan is confident to do everything well.

After taking it to Jinghuafang, most people in the studio have never seen the silk figurine left by the previous generation, even Li Wei'an looked around at Yu Ji.Amina and Gesang practiced with the silk figurines in the studio, but it was the first time they saw such tall silk figurines, but the old tailors were unmoved, after all, they had experienced it in that era.

"This is Yu Ji, the silk figurine work we are going to revise this time. Let me talk about the specific division of labor..." Du Juan began to arrange work for everyone. This was the first time she formally arranged work for the new team, and she was a little nervous.Although the silk figurine does not need to be re-sculpted, the face still needs to be re-sculpted.In addition, the painting and accessories, plus the refurbishment of clothing, are almost the same. "Next, we will enter the formal repair time, and there will be a relatively busy time. This is also the first time that everyone has collaborated to complete it. We must communicate with each other and solve problems together, and strive to win the bid in this bidding A good result."

After listening to Du Juan's encouragement, everyone performed their duties.Li Wei'an used a ruler to measure the face length-to-width ratio of "Concubine Yu", and then took photos to restore it on paper one-to-one. Although no sculpture was used, the silk figurine took a long time to press the bottom of the box, and the face was like a nose. There are some depressions, and the positions of the cheeks and cheekbones are also somewhat asymmetrical, and the restoration operation must be performed again.Changing from painting on paper to silk cloth, Amuna is careful with every stroke. I have to say that her copying ability is really strong. "Yu Ji" is placed on a table half a meter away from her. Roughly a square outline, and then slowly settle into an ellipse, and then draw the facial features.Now Amuna is still in the state of practice, painting on the silk cloth several times, and only after the painting is smooth, dare to paint on the face of "Concubine Yu".The facial features of silk figurines lie in the drawing of the eyes, the outline of the eyeliner and the aggravation and thickening of the strokes can draw the eyes with spirit. "Concubine Yu"'s fine attire needs to be replaced completely. It has been placed for too long, and the current fabric has lost its luster and feels like sackcloth.Tailoring clothes is what Gesang is best at.Use the latest silk cloth to cut it into the size required for the garment, and then do embroidery on the silk cloth, one stitch at a time, with the utmost care.As for Du Juan, she matched the appropriate accessories with the color of her clothes, and found the most suitable one from a pile of cat's-eye pearls of different sizes. Every part of "Concubine Yu" is similar to that in the dream, the only difference is that "Concubine Yu" in the dream is wearing a velvet neck guard, but this "Concubine Yu" does not have it now.If it is better to match it with one, it is undoubtedly the dream that inspired Du Juan.But how to put this mink down?The silk figure is already petite, and the sable fleece on the neck is only two centimeters wide, so it has to match the clothes Gesang cut out.

Unknowingly, more than a week has passed since such collaborative work, and the silk figurine "Concubine Yu" is almost finished, at least the clothes Gesang has cut are finished.With the headdress and the light brown mink velvet scarf, even Gesang praised, "It really fits so well. Yuji's scarf is just right. She is indeed the woman of the overlord of Western Chu."

Speaking of the choice of sable velvet, Du Juan also spent some thought, "I originally wanted to use white sable velvet for decoration, but the white one does not show Yu Ji's strong character, but it is suitable for silk people like Lin Daiyu." This light brown mink velvet reveals the historical background of Western Chu. As Xiang Yu's woman, Xiaojiabiyu is impossible. The concubine Yu in history is good at singing and dancing, but she has tension in feelings. This mink velvet is exactly It’s where her emotions run wild.”
