Chapter 307 Handicraft Class

When Suisui woke up in the afternoon, Prince Qing had already returned home.

He has to go out early tomorrow morning as he has a lot of official business to attend to today.

Sui Sui hadn’t seen Uncle Qing, and didn’t have many thoughts about him.

Although he is a benefactor, they are not very familiar with each other, so Suisui does not have much attachment to him.

This afternoon, instead of attending the horse riding and archery class, Master Shen took them to a handicraft class.

The small wooden horse that Feng Xuancang and his friends had made before was very creative, and Master Shen thought it was very good.

Although, among the six ministries, the Ministry of Works has the lowest status.

However, after all, it is one of the Six Ministries, and it is a Beijing official, so many people may not be able to get it.

Therefore, if there is potential in this area, Master Shen is willing to cultivate it.

What else to do?

With so many poor students, could it be that they all got into the Hanlin Academy through the back door?

Master Shen is afraid of those old pedants in the Hanlin Academy, and he would be so angry that he would vomit blood!

Moreover, Mr. Shen's education has always been eclectic and focused on the cultivation of talents.

It's not just about knowledge and martial arts, it also includes hands-on ability and the like.

If possible, Mr. Shen can actually talk to you about agronomy.

However, he was afraid that the prince would not agree, so he temporarily suppressed this idea.

Sui Sui never expected that they would have a handicraft class. She proudly showed off to her two older sisters, "I'm really good at making kites!"

When Shen Huatang heard this, his eyes lit up: "I like kites."

Unfortunately, the thing was not pasted well and could easily scratch her hands, so her mother didn't let her touch it too often.

In comparison, Liu Hemeng was freer in the mansion. When he heard about the kite, he also came over: "I can do this, too. I'm very good at it. Not only can I make it, I can also build the frame!"

Suisui and the others all made ready-made ones, but Liu Hemeng had tried it before. He started by building the frame and then made the kite step by step.

Of course, her father was with her, and she, a child on her own, would definitely not be able to complete such a complicated task.

The children were chattering about it.

Master Shen was not in a hurry and gave them enough time to discuss it first.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Master Shen tapped the ruler and said, "Quiet."

The children became quiet instantly.

The Master's deterrent power is still sufficient.

Although Suisui had just come to class, he had learned all the rules. He sat there properly and looked surprisingly soft and cute.

Prince Qi, who was listening in, liked her more and more the more he looked at her. He found her more and more adorable, and he almost couldn't help himself and took action.

What's wrong with giving such a cute little boy a hug?
Seeing that Prince Qi was ready to make a move, Master Shen almost rolled his eyes.

He really wanted to ask: Your Majesty, don’t you have anything else to do?
In fact, there really isn't.

Especially after his recent health problems, His Majesty would not even send anyone to invite Prince Qi to the grand court meeting unless it was related to the palace.

Master Shen was unwilling to pay attention to the prince. He tapped the ruler to restore silence in the classroom, then shook his head and said, "The handicraft class is not as simple as you think. You can't just get started as soon as you say you will. As the old saying goes..."

It was a long list of truths, but Suisui didn't understand a single word.

However, in the end, Master Shen still took care of the younger ones and explained: "You need to draw what you want to make first and mark the dimensions to avoid accidents during the production process. If the two parts don't fit together, it would be a waste of time and materials..." If you want to make something, you can't just start it as soon as you think about it.

What a great craftsman that person must be, to be able to produce items directly without any pictures?
Kids like Suisui simply don't have such ability.

Even a handicraft master like Feng Xuancang can only make some small pieces without drawings, and carve some small flowers and rabbits.

If it is too complicated and requires mortise and tenon structure, you have to draw a diagram, otherwise the dimensions may not match sometimes.

Master Shen’s explanation was so straightforward that Suisui understood it, not to mention the others.

Therefore, the first step to making handicrafts is to draw clearly, at least so that you can understand it.

Suisui:?
The little girl sat there in a daze.

She hasn't learned to write yet.

How to do this?

Fortunately, Master Shen also took the younger children into consideration and raised his hand to signal: "The three of you girls should form a group and make it together."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and gestured to Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin: "You two form a group."

Feng Xuanbin originally wanted to say that he could do it himself.

But when he thought of drawing, he obediently retracted his neck.

Feng Xuanrui disliked Feng Xuanbin, but with someone to help him, he could go faster.

So, just accept it reluctantly.

Feng Xuancang and the others are older and don't have such concerns.

However, if one person makes it, the cycle will definitely be longer.

Master Shen also reminded them at the right time: "Do some small things within your ability, first look at your talent in this area, don't rush for success, don't covet big things right away, without accumulating small steps, there is no way to a thousand miles, don't..."

As soon as the long speech started, Sui Sui couldn't understand again.

However, she still sat there seriously, with her back straight, listening attentively.

Prince Qi watched from the side and couldn't help but praise along with the four: "Look at our dear, she will definitely be a female champion in the future. It's a pity that the girl can't take the top spot."

At this point, Prince Qi hissed softly, and then said unhappily: "Why can't a girl take the top spot in the imperial examination? My brother is prejudiced and biased!"

Sui Si didn't dare to say anything, so he could only whisper, "This is a rule passed down by our ancestors. Your Majesty can't interfere. Besides, the Ministry of Rites and the Censorate are watching closely."

Hearing him say this, Prince Qi snorted in dissatisfaction: "Those old guys in the Censorate have nothing to do every day after eating, so they stare at my butt. My butt is so beautiful, but they stare at it every day? Don't you think it stinks?"

Follow four:?
It's your behavior that people are looking at, not your butt, Your Majesty!
However, Sui Si didn't dare to say this.

After complaining about the Censorate, Prince Qi started to complain about the Ministry of Rites: "As for the Ministry of Rites, I don't even like to talk about it. The older Ying Xian gets, the more problems he has. No wonder he can be the Minister of State."

Sui Si: ...

Sui Si's silence did not affect King Qi's complaints: "It's all their fault, otherwise my dear would have been the top female scholar."

Suisui:?
Suisui is watching sister Tangtang draw, and sister Mengmeng is helping her.

Sui Sui was too young to hold a pen properly, so he couldn't help much. He could only help pass paper and bring ink.

She doesn't even know how to grind ink now.

Sui Sui wanted to learn, but Liu Hemeng was reluctant to let her do it: "Sui Sui, just watch me do it and you will learn it. This thing needs gravity, otherwise it can't be ground out, you see..."

Liu Hemeng was grinding ink while explaining it to Sui Sui.
