Chapter 184: It's all jade
After another six days, Wang Yun carved a stone sculpture of a tiger.
Six days is already very fast for such a large stone carving, but compared to the time it took Wang Yun to carve before, it is almost a third slower, but this time is slowed down, and for him, the carving technology is soaring.
Zhu Lao was stunned when he saw this tiger stone carving, "Sure enough, it's a genius, you have achieved a similar shape in this fourth work, it's like a newborn who can walk upright before learning to climb!"
Although he was praised by Zhu Lao, Wang Yun looked at the stone sculpture and always felt that something was wrong.
"Old Zhu, I think this hair should also be carved, if the back is carved thinly, can it look like hair?"
During this time, the carvings have been large pieces, and Wang Yun wondered if he could try some small things.
Having an ability in the body is really helpful for carving.
In response to his question, Zhu Lao shook his head directly and said, "Jade carving can't be too subtle, animal hair is usually ignored, because this is not only meaningless, but will reduce the smooth and warm characteristics of the jade itself. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yun suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
There are many people who do miniature carving on the market, they can carve a painting on a grain of rice, these are all small and fine as a whole, not the details that Wang Yun thought had to be depicted, he almost did useless work.
"I'm very happy to get Mr. Zhu's praise, I think it's not bad to be like this at the moment, and I can settle down and do something else, and I can go to Pingzhou in a few days." After almost a month of hard work, Wang Yun felt that he had now stepped into the threshold of jade carving.
When Zhu Lao heard that he was going to Pingzhou, he immediately said anxiously, "Didn't you agree to go to Kyoto." ”
Wang Yun thought about it, anyway, there was still time before Pingzhou Gongpan, so he nodded and said, "Old Zhu, don't worry, I will go over at the end of the month." ”
Seeing that he should come down, Zhu Lao laughed happily, "Okay, then I'll go back first, and come to Kyoto to find me when you're ready." ”
Wang Yun didn't ask Zhu Lao what he was doing when he asked him to go to Kyoto, but he guessed that it must be something related to jade carving.
In the next Yoshida, Wang Yun completely put aside the jade carving and devoted himself to learning the homework assigned to him by Qi Lao.
He used his ability to memorize the things that Qi Lao gave him, but this kind of thing was like rote memorization, and many things were not understood.
What he has to do now is to completely digest these knowledge points while comparing the text and at the same time according to some objects.
......
When he came to Kyoto this time, Wang Yun was not as excited as the last time.
In addition to wanting to see Zhu Lao, Wang Yun was thinking about Bai Xuanxuan who haunted him, and he didn't know if she buried herself in a pile of cultural relics again today.
However, he was embarrassed to go to Bai Xuanxuan, so he could only go directly to his house according to the address sent to him by Zhu Lao.
The place where Zhu Lao lives is different from Qi Lao, Qi Lao lives in a courtyard, although it looks simple, but the people of the whole country basically know that there are not a group of people who can live in a courtyard.
And Zhu Lao lives in a modern community, but his community is also very famous in Kyoto, it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is gold, and many rich and powerful people in Kyoto live in it.
As soon as Wang Yun knocked on the door, someone inside soon came to open the door for him, "Wang Yun, you're finally here!"
Knowing that Wang Yun came over today, Zhu Lao didn't go out, so he was naturally a little excited to see Wang Yun at this time.
As soon as Wang Yun entered the door, he saw a shelf placed next to the aisle, which just separated the entrance from the aisle, and there were many large and small things on the shelf.
"This is also jade?" Wang Yun curiously picked up one of the wine bottle holders, its shape looked like a gun carriage, but this thing was carved from white jade, and there was a bottle of red wine on it.
Next to the bottle holder is a jadeite jade bottle, which is made of green jadeite, which looks very refreshing and attractive.
Most of the things on this shelf are jade, and the small part that remains is some small items of bloodstone, and some are very characteristic stones.
"Come in and sit down. Zhu Lao beckoned Wang Yun to the living room.
He had already made a pot of tea and was waiting for Wang Yun, Wang Yun looked at the tea set in front of him, and said enviously, "Zhu Lao, your tea set really opened my eyes, the cups are all jade planted by hibiscus, not to mention, this teapot is so big and low-ice, and the color is so positive, I really admire and admire!"
Zhu Lao picked up the exquisite jade teacup and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "I don't think jade is as good as you, but I have been doing jade carving for so many years, and I still have the eye to look at jade." ”
Wang Yun smiled helplessly, and then took a sip of tea from the teacup, and he didn't know if it was psychological, he felt that the tea was very warm.
As soon as he put down the teacup, Wang Yun suddenly found something that amazed him, "Old Zhu, you really enjoy it, such a good warm white jade was actually used by you as an ashtray!"
Many commonly used things in Zhu's family were carved out of jade by him, and Wang Yun was amazed again and again.
However, these things are nothing in Zhu Lao's eyes at all, he greeted Wang Yun with a smile, "These are all gadgets, I will take you to see the things in my room, and the ones in them are carefully made by me." ”
Wang Yun followed Zhu Lao into the inside, there were several shelves inside, and there were glass cabinets on the shelves, and he obviously felt that Zhu Lao valued these things very much.
"This is the thousand-armed Guanyin that Zhu Lao, you won the championship in the Tiangong Cup!" Wang Yun saw that there were trophies and medals and other things behind this jade Guanyin, so he recognized it.
Therefore, as soon as I saw this thousand-armed Guanyin, I immediately recognized it, normally, everyone likes to carve Guanyin with white jade, but the jade bottle in Guanyin's hand can have some natural green, and the work will be more beautiful.
However, Zhu Lao's jade Guanyin is the opposite, at this time, a green and white jade Guanyin, the outline of the back is blue-green, but the jade bottle in his hand is white, so that the level is stronger and more atmospheric.
This kind of creativity and design, Wang Yun will definitely not be able to do.
It's just that Wang Yun found that there were no jade carvings in front of some trophies, so he asked curiously, "Old Zhu, why aren't some award-winning jade carvings here?"
"Oh, and the empty ones have already been sold. Zhu Lao responded.
The award-winning thing was also sold, which made Wang Yun a little incomprehensible, if he did, he would definitely stay as a souvenir.
Zhu Lao seemed to see his doubts, and said with a smile, "When I first won the award, I really felt very precious, but there were more things later, and I felt that it was like that." ”
Wang Yun nodded as if he didn't understand, he couldn't reach the point where he was soft when he won the award, so he naturally couldn't understand the inner thoughts of people like Zhu Lao.
"Old Zhu, is there something wrong with you calling me over?" Wang Yun only remembered to ask about business at this time.
