Xu Wen moved a chair and sat by the river outside the small door in the backyard of Xu's house, quietly looking at a piece of yellow wax stone in front of him.

This is the outside, not within the scope of the Xu Mansion, and the texture of the air is completely different.

The slight wind flowed around him, bringing the fishy smell of the river, the faint fragrance of oleander and the distant fireworks, and the overflowing breath full of vitality.

This was not what Xu Wen bought last time and brought it back together, but a piece that Meng Ping gave him alone.

The main component of yellow wax stone is quartz, which is very hard and dense, and the surface is often oily wax, the most common is yellow.

It is best to use bright yellow, and the rest of the sallow, potato, chanterelle, egg yolk, etc. are also good colors.

The best quality yellow wax stone is called frozen wax, the whole body is moist yellow, very delicate, and you can see the light through the stone heart when you lift it.

This quality of yellow wax stone can even be compared with Tian Huangshi, the king of printing stones.

However, frozen wax is rare, most of the yellow wax stone is relatively rough, mixed with other stones, often exists as garden stones, and a small number can become material stones.

The piece that Xu Wen brought back last time was relatively large, and the quality was not particularly good, but it could also be used for other purposes after processing.

And the piece in front of me is the most high-grade and precious kind of authentic Ming Huang Frozen Wax - Yellow Wax Stone.

Such a good high-grade yellow wax stone, but there is a very big problem.

I don't know why, the black stone skin seeped into the stone flesh, intertwined with it, and mixed with it.

The whole head is a big stone, black and yellow, which is very tangled.

Yesterday, Xu Wen finished learning the last four of the twenty-four carvings of the Meng family, and Meng Ping handed this to him, saying that it was his homework.

He asked Xu Wen not to come over tomorrow, so he used all twelve kinds of stone carving workers at home to carve this yellow wax stone into an ornament, and then went over to show him after carving.

Undoubtedly, this is an acceptance of the twenty-four eagles.

It's a very difficult job.

It's not hard to exhaust all twelve carvings in one piece, just pile them up. But the yellow wax stone that Meng Ping gave him obviously had ulterior motives.

This piece of yellow wax stone looks messy, but it is not chaotic, and even a little cleverly mixed. The yellow wax stone embedded in the middle itself is a treasure, obviously Meng Ping wants to test not only the carving, but in special circumstances, how to apply their own carving, to achieve better results.

It was very challenging, and Xu Wen was very interested.

But he did not do it immediately, but looked at the stone quietly for a long time, as if he wanted to use his own eyes to see into its center.

He sat on a sour branch wood rocking chair, Ming-style boutique, with simple and smooth lines, and carved flowers and grass patterns in the corners, delicate and generous.

Now he is not short of money, so it is not in the mood to sell it.

The last time I sold those four chairs, it was just an expedient measure, and it was used to solve the immediate need. There is no reason to repair the Xu Mansion and sell all the things inside.

The sour branch wood chair looks very hard, but it is very comfortable to sit on, its every curve fits the human body, and the shoulders, back, waist, hips and other parts are all well supported, and the speed and feeling of shaking are soft and not overly flexible, leisurely and extremely comfortable.

Xu Wen shook slowly, staring at the yellow wax stone for a long time.

The texture of the two is completely different, but they are very closely intertwined, and it is difficult to find the space to cut down.

It is difficult to make stone ornaments from it, let alone apply all twelve types of carving.

Xu Wen thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have a clue, and his eyes unconsciously moved to the arm of the chair at hand.

The armrest itself has no pattern, but is bent in an extremely elegant arc with sour wood, which naturally extends forward and downward, and then falls.

The wood used to make the handrail did not seem to be perfect, with a small flaw, like a wood scar.

The craftsman who made it carved a petal of a hibiscus flower along with this scar, which contrasted with the complete hibiscus flower at the end of the armrest below, and the simple armrest of the chair seemed to come alive and full of fun.

This chair was repaired by him when he moved it out of the Four Seasons Hall.

The Xu Mansion is a wonderful place, and there are carvings everywhere.

There are ridged beasts on the eaves, there are tiles under the eaves; there are bucket arches in the rafter corners, and there are finches in front of the arch; there are all kinds of furniture cages in the interior, and there are all kinds of fine furnishings in the boxes.

Almost everything here is broken, Xu Wen just learned some restoration skills from Lian Tianqing, came back to paint the scoop according to the gourd, wanted to study how these artifacts were damaged, and wanted to record it, and keep it for later official repair.

As a result, he wrote five books that recorded the causes of damage and damage, and only roughly recorded and counted them, and then had to go back to the computer to classify them and further refine them.

Xu Zhai didn't know what he had experienced, these utensils and furniture were damaged for different reasons, fire and water flooding violently shook and natural weathering, there were various reasons, and it was very complicated.

However, even if it is damaged in this way, it can still be seen that all the objects in the Four Seasons Hall are rare and high-quality products, carefully crafted by famous craftsmen, with superb skills, diverse types, and very high artistic value.

Some time ago, Xu Wen used Xu Mansion as a practice room, and he came back here basically just to hone his skills with a special time effect.

But doing repetitive work for a long time, people will be tired, not physically tired, and mentally will be extremely tired.

So Xu Wen will go to the Four Seasons Hall in his spare time, walk around, appreciate the wonderful works left by these predecessors, and relax his spirit.

Now, the things he had seen and admired before naturally came to his mind, combined with the yellow wax stone in front of him.

Engraving is a craftsman craft that uses tools to shape materials and carve patterns.

It depicts nature, expresses aesthetics, and in these contents, they are all unified.

There are a total of 24 kinds of Mengjia carvings, which are very open to integrate many different styles, different eras, and different origins, and summarize and summarize them, and finally integrate them.

However, how extensive the skills in the world are, these twenty-four carving workers are inclusive, but some of the contents recorded in Qin Lianying's notes are still not included. And Xu Wen feels that in these existing parts, there are also some skills that are a bit cumbersome or forceful, in short, it is not natural......

Xu Wen closed his eyes, and countless patterns and techniques appeared in his mind, one after the other, endlessly.

Then, all these things faded away, and finally disappeared, and what he saw was the mountains, the water, and the moonlight.

Finally, he opened his eyes and looked at the yellow wax stone in front of him for a long time.

He picked up the pen and paper he had pressed against the paperweight next to him and began to draw by brush.
