Chapter 315: Fallen Leaf Ingenuity

Li Zhenbang pointed to a dresser among household items, his face full of confidence.

Liu Zhengde's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Li Zhenbang in disbelief. What Li Zhenbang refers to is not wrong at all, it is exactly his work.

"You... how do you know this is my work?" Liu Zhengde exclaimed.

"Because you said that your skills are second only to your teacher. But in my opinion, your skills are actually not inferior to your teacher." Li Zhenbang said sincerely.

"It's no longer inferior to my teacher? Then why can you still distinguish my work? I know, you guessed it! You found two almost identical works, so you took a gamble, and you bet By the way, isn't it?" Liu Zhengde said a little excitedly, he thought he had discovered the truth. He praised this young man that his skills were not inferior to his teacher, so he was not going to argue with him.

Seeing Liu Zhengde's excited look, Li Zhenbang sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"Although you have learned the skills, you have not learned the essence."

"Essence? Isn't skill the essence? If the skill has reached a certain level, isn't that the essence?" Liu Zhengde looked at Li Zhenbang strangely. He wondered if the young man in front of him had a brain problem. It was really inappropriate to debate for a long time.

"Oh! No wonder! I'm afraid your skill can only stop here! But it doesn't matter, you can live comfortably for a lifetime with this skill." Li Zhenbang looked at Liu Zhengde with some sympathy.

"What do you mean?" Liu Zhengde looked at Li Zhenbang warily.

"For example, if the things made by your master can be used by His Majesty the King, then the things you make can only be used by dukes and princes, and the things made by your brothers and sisters can be used by the nobles. Use. As for the things he made..." Li Zhenbang pointed to Wu Cai who was resting in the corner.

"The things he makes can be used by the nouveau riche and the downtrodden little nobles without money."

Hearing Li Zhenbang's words, Liu Zhengde felt a little more comfortable. He should be inferior to his master. Although his works are almost fake, they are not real after all. It is enough for the duke and prince to use.

"But..." Li Zhenbang hesitated for a moment, and held up a wooden jewelry box.

"The owner of this work may not be as mature as your skill now, but after a long time, his skill is the same as yours, even if it is worse than yours, his work can be used by His Majesty the King." .”

"What? What do you mean?" Liu Zhengde asked angrily.

In his heart, although his works can be used by people like dukes and princes, but after a hundred years from Master, the banner of the Lu brand will have to be carried by himself. At that time, his works will naturally replace Master's works and become His Majesty the king's royal property.

But the kid in front of him actually said that his work was not as good as the young disciple that the master finally accepted under his sect, how could he not be angry.

"You didn't learn the true biography of your master, but the owner of this jewelry learned it." Li Zhenbang put the jewelry box on another dressing table, which was made by Lu Lianggong.

Liu Zhengde deliberately took out a dressing table made by himself and a dressing table made by his master. The two dressing tables were exactly the same, just to confuse the audience and make Li Zhenbang unable to recognize his mistake.

"You're talking nonsense! I've always been by Master's side, and I've never been far away from him when Master was teaching skills. How could Master not give the essence to me, but to the last person to get started?" Liu Zhengde called hysterically. road.

"Don't you think that looks a bit awkward? No matter where you put it,

It always looks like something is going wrong. "Li Zhenbang picked up the jewelry box and placed it casually on the dressing table made by Liu Zhengde, then looked at Liu Zhengde and moved the jewelry box a few times casually.

"But if you put the jewelry box on this dressing table, no matter where you put it, it will look so pleasing to the eye." Li Zhenbang picked up the jewelry box and threw it casually on Lu Lianggong's dressing table.

Liu Zhengde's eyes widened. As an outstanding carpenter, he naturally felt that what Li Zhenbang said was right, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"Do you know why? Why does the same jewelry box feel so different when placed on two identical dressing tables?"

Liu Zhengde looked at Li Zhenbang and shook his head blankly.

"Because of the soul, because of life, because of love! What you make is a dead thing, but what your teacher and the owner of this jewelry box made is a living thing. Your heart is all used in research skills, but you ignore Life itself. Everything has spirituality, not only people, but also these things. You are a good craftsman, but you lack an ingenuity." Li Zhenbang looked at Liu Zhengde sympathetically. With Liu Zhengde's age and experience, it is almost impossible to re-cultivate ingenuity.

"Ingenuity... Ingenuity..." Liu Zhengde's eyes were a little distracted, and he said to himself.

Suddenly, Liu Zhengde grabbed Li Zhenbang and shouted excitedly: "Ingenuity! How can I get ingenuity?"

"Difficult, too difficult!" Li Zhenbang pushed Liu Zhengde's hand away and shook his head.

"Difficult...difficult is there is still hope?" Liu Zhengde suddenly raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, and no, whether you can do it depends on yourself."

"What do I need to do?" Liu Zhengde looked at Li Zhenbang with piercing eyes.

"Put it down!" Li Zhenbang said softly.

"Let go?" Liu Zhengde looked at Li Zhenbang suspiciously.

"Let go of everything you have now, your skills, your abilities, your vision, your status, your honors and disgraces, even your responsibilities, let go of everything you can, and start over. Even so, there is no guarantee that you There must be ingenuity, because many things require not only hard work, but also talent." Li Zhenbang's voice was not loud, but it sounded like a bolt from the blue to Liu Zhengde's ears, and Liu Zhengde stood on the spot in a daze.

"Ah!" A sigh came out from the crowd, and at this moment, everyone realized that Master Lu Lianggong had appeared in the crowd at some point. The crowd was agitated for a while, and then quickly quieted down.

"Teacher, I...is what he said true?" Liu Zhengde hurriedly ran to Lu Lianggong and knelt down on the ground. He hugged the teacher's leg with one hand, pointed at Li Zhenbang with the other, and looked at Lu Lianggong eagerly. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he hoped that the teacher would completely deny Li Zhenbang's words. But he also knew that what Li Zhenbang said seemed to be true, and he couldn't find an excuse to refute it.

"Zhengde, let's go back!" Lu Lianggong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a heavy tone.

"Teacher, don't I really have a chance to catch the ingenuity?" Liu Zhengde looked at Lu Lianggong pitifully with a crying voice.

Lu Lianggong helped Liu Zhengde up from the ground, but did not answer him, but turned around to leave.

"You are Master Lu Lianggong, right?" Li Zhenbang hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"You almost ruined my disciple, but you have opened the door to his heart. What he will do in the future is his own creation. I know your reason for coming, but you should also know that since I have ingenuity, Then I won’t have any intentions about what I said to you. I’ll just say something ingenious to you, and if you come as a guest, I welcome you at any time.” Lu Lianggong glanced back at Li Zhenbang, nodded at him, Turned around and left.

"Master Lu Lianggong, then I'd rather be obedient than respectful. I'll go to the mansion to disturb you now. You won't object?" Li Zhenbang was not annoyed by Lu Lianggong's words, but followed him and walked over.

Lu Lianggong's body froze, he was just saying politely, but he didn't expect Li Zhenbang to climb along the pole, and chose the present moment. He originally wanted to enlighten Liu Zhengde after he went back with him.

In this situation, Lu Lianggong was in a bit of a dilemma. He just said in front of so many people that he could come as a guest at any time, and he couldn't break his promise no matter what.

Lu Lianggong said helplessly: "Okay! Come if you want! But..."

Li Zhenbang hastily interrupted Lu Lianggong, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "There is nothing wrong with it, you didn't say it wrong just now. You won't regret it in front of the whole Luoye Town, old and young, right? If your reputation is so low, Then I admit it too."

"Hmph! Good! Do as you please! But your extravagant hopes will definitely fail!" Lu Lianggong said in a bad tone.

"How do you know you will fail if you don't talk about it?" The corner of Li Zhenbang's mouth turned slightly to one side, revealing an imperceptible smirk.

He can fail, but if he doesn't even have a chance to talk, that's the real failure...

Lu Lianggong's home is simple but extremely luxurious. The reason for the simplicity is that there are no extravagant ornaments in the home, and all the furniture and furnishings are made of larch. Luxury is because all the things in the house come from his own hands, and each piece is the best of the best.

"I'm sorry, the conditions are simple, and I only have crude tea for hospitality." Lu Lianggong was not being polite. It was indeed crude tea, which didn't even have the aroma of tea leaves. The tea leaves seemed to be just a few leaves picked from the tree outside the house, but they were young leaves, which should be young leaves picked in spring.

Lu Lianggong's tea was no exception. He raised his cup and took a sip with satisfaction. Obviously, this is what he usually drinks.

Li Zhenbang raised his cup, took a sip, and frowned. The smell was really unflattering. Not only did it not have the aroma of tea, but it smelled like grass leaves. The other three looked at their noses and their hearts with their noses, without squinting, without any intention of trying.

"Do you usually drink this?"
