Chapter 16: Stick to Your Heart
After saying this sentence casually, Yun Buregret stopped talking, feeling that everything was over. As for the deeper meaning, it is still necessary for the other party to comprehend it themselves. The little girl's face couldn't help but turn red when she heard Yun Buregret's words.
"Stand up, stand up and try to walk two laps. Yun Buregret stood up first, and then he walked to the side with his arms in his arms, and finally under the shocked gaze of others, the little girl who was screaming in pain before really stood up, and after walking a few laps on the ground, she tried to jump twice, and she really felt that her legs didn't hurt at all.
When the middle-aged man in his thirties saw this scene, it was as if he was in a dream. After sobering up, of course, he was also very happy. In the end, without thinking about it, he casually took out a thick pile of money from his arms: "Little brother, thank you so much, don't say anything, this money is a little bit of my heart." ”
Speaking in good conscience, Yun Buregret really wants to accept this money, after all, he is really short of money now. But it's still the same sentence, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and he said that he would never charge a penny if he didn't collect money this time.
"You take the money back, I just see that this girl is too painful, and I can't bear it, as for the money, forget it!"
When the man in his thirties heard this, he laughed: "Young man, there is a future, this is my business card, if there is anything in the future, you can look for me." ”
Yun Buregret took the business card and took a cursory look, and then put it directly in his pocket, as for the words on it, he didn't read it clearly at all. Just as he turned around and was about to leave, all of a sudden, Yun Buregret heard the injured little girl from before say weakly at the moment: "My brother-in-law didn't want to slander people just now, for tomorrow's performance, my brother-in-law spent a lot of money to buy me a place." ”
"If I can't participate because of my leg injury, then the money will be wasted. ”
Hearing this, Yun Bu, who was about to leave, couldn't help but open his mouth wide, he never thought that the loss that the other party said turned out to be this. But he glanced at the middle-aged man, and he didn't seem to care at all, and he didn't take the unfriendly attitude he had towards him before. This made Yun Buregret's opinion of him suddenly rise by a few notches!
"By the way, boss, ask if your family accepts jade? Just when Yun Buregret was about to leave, he suddenly remembered the true purpose of his visit to this jewelry store. So he asked.
When the owner of the jewelry store heard this, he looked at Yun without regret with a look of disbelief.
"You want to sell jade?"
Yun didn't regret taking down the jade unicorn he pinned to his waist. The whole jade unicorn is only fifteen or six centimeters in size, the whole body is yellow, it wears a single horn on its head, and its big mouth seems to be roaring.
The unicorn carved with topaz laughs. ”
The owner of the jewelry store put this jade unicorn in his hand and looked at it carefully, and the quality of this jade unicorn was quite good. The only pity is that this is topaz, if it is Hetian jade, then the value is even more expensive. However, although it is topaz, the handiwork of this carving is also quite good, and it can be said that the entire unicorn is carved lifelike and vivid. In addition, this is also a rare piece of fine first-class topaz.
"How much are you going to sell this topaz for? If it's not too expensive, I'll buy it." Not to mention that you have just done me such a big favor, I am also very satisfied with the quality of your jade unicorn. ”
"If you're satisfied, just give me a price. And I may continue to sell jade to you in the future. The reason why Yun Buregret said this was because he thought that since he could raise jade, then he definitely couldn't easily abandon this means of making a fortune.
After saying this, the owner of the jewelry store frowned instead: "Brother, I can't believe you if it's not my sister." You also know that jade is very particular about its provenance. If this is an unclean piece of jade, I can't ask for it, sister. ”
Yun did not regret this, and knew in his heart that no matter what era it was, there were always some grave diggers and robbers. The jade they found in the grave always had to be sold, and the other party's uncleanness was also an allusion to these jades.
Because once these cultural relics are found, not only the person who sold them is breaking the law, but even the buyer will not be able to eat and walk around.
"This piece of jade was found by myself on the mountain, and the pattern on it was carved by myself. ”
"Did you find it yourself?" the pattern turned out to be carved by yourself?" Hearing this, the owner of the jewelry store couldn't help but ask Yun Buregret again and again. His face was full of consternation.
"Aren't you a doctor, how can you have this carving skill?" asked the owner of the jewelry store, calming down.
"Haven't you heard of the saying that there are a few doctors who can pick up a scalpel and can't carve. Yun Buregret said a witty remark half-seriously and half-jokingly, which made many people present couldn't help but laugh. But even so, everyone still feels incredible that Yun Buregret can carve this vivid jade unicorn pattern in front of him with his own hands. You must know that if you carve the pattern into such a shape, if you are not immersed in this industry for more than ten years, it is impossible to have such exquisite carving skills.
Yun Buregret could see the doubts in the eyes of these people, but it was no wonder that it was really rare for a person at such a young age to have such exquisite stone carving skills. In addition, after this piece of jade was purified by itself, it looked very round as a whole, and it didn't look like it had just been carved out of it.
"Since you're a jewelry store, you must have some jade materials. Why don't you take out a piece and I'll carve it for you on the spot, of course I don't have a carving knife, you have to lend me your carving knife. ”
The boss of the jewelry store flickered his eyes when he heard this, but he still instantly asked his waiter to go to the back warehouse and fetch a palm-sized Hetian jade.
Yun Buregret put this piece of Hetian jade in his hand and looked at it carefully. The jade quality of this piece of jade can be regarded as second-class jade. However, due to the innate nature of Hetian jade, Hetian jade, even if it is a second-class jade, is better than ordinary first-class topaz. Especially the Hetian jade in front of me, I feel very delicate after I start it. The only pity is that there is a fault in this piece of jade.
Moreover, the color of the lower part of the fault is completely different from the upper one, and the jade on the top is pale green. Underneath the fault, however, is a little white. In this way, such a piece of jade, if it is carved normally, the carved item is very worthless.
After all, if there are two kinds of jade in a piece of jade, then the jade is almost useless when it is carved into stone. But fortunately, the white direction below is not very thick, and even Yun Buregret thinks that if he uses it to carve white clouds, the effect will be better.
"This piece of jade is a bit special, if you carve it into my kind of one-horned unicorn with a smile, then this piece of jade will be wasted. If you have to agree, I can carve this piece of jade into a cloud-treading unicorn. ”
When the owner of the jewelry store heard this, his face couldn't help but tremble.
"Brother, if I have a word with you, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Suddenly, at this moment, I felt as if I didn't know much about the jewelry industry. I don't understand what your one-horned unicorn smile and the so-called cloud-stepping unicorn mean?"
The reason why the owner of the jewelry store said this is that he feels that the people at the scene at this moment are not only ignorant but also that others have the feeling of being in the clouds.
The unicorn laughs, also known as the unicorn roar. This unicorn can be used as a paperweight or kept at home to ward off evil spirits. Legend has it that the unicorn opened its mouth and all evils did not invade. Therefore, the unicorn opening and laughing is a kind of unicorn that belongs to warding off evil spirits. The so-called cloud-stepping unicorn is a kind of unicorn flying in the air, and there is a cloud at his feet to lift him up. ”
If there are children in the family, or people who are about to give birth to children, put such a kind of cloud-stepping unicorn at home, it means that there is about to be auspicious. Each type of unicorn has a different posture, so the meaning of the representation is naturally different. And now I'm going to carve this kind of cloud-stepping unicorn. ”
Not professionally engraving, few people have the knowledge here. You know, especially carved animals, especially animals related to mythical beasts. Every form of this animal has a history. Yun Buregret clearly remembers that when he was thirteen years old, when he was studying stone carving with Sun Tian, the third uncle in the village, he encountered such an incident.
At that time, it seemed that a wealthy family asked them to carve a pair of large stone lions and put them at the door. However, in the process of the third uncle picking up the carving knife to carve the stone lions, the two stone lions were carved into the form of one with one eyes open and one with one eyes closed. As a result, the owner of the house was furious when he saw it. You must know that the stone lion only opens its eyes which represents its fierceness and might, you say that this stone lion with closed eyes, what is the fierceness and majesty at all?
However, at that time, the third uncle explained to the owner. There is a saying that this stone lion is placed at the door of a person's house. According to the words handed down by the elders in the past, if there are people in the family who are officials in the imperial court, and they are big officials. Then this pair of stone lions should look up at the sky and the ground with one looking down.
This is called raising one's head for the blue sky and bowing one's head to the people's will, and such a big official represents his own integrity. If one day the emperor or an official older than him comes here and sees this pair of stone lions, he will know that this person is telling everyone that I am a clean official, don't come to give gifts. Regardless of whether this person is really honest or not, the meaning foreshadowed by the stone lion placed outside is so profound that it will naturally bring people a good impression.
If it is two stone lions, all of them are angry, it is at the gate of the temple where incense is burned and the Buddha is worshipped, or at the gate of the yamen. Such a stone lion is telling others that with me here, no ghosts will enter, and under my clear observation, I will never let go of a wicked person.
Therefore, most of the stone lions of normal people show one closed eye, one open eye, or one open eye and one closed eye. This is also a saying, this is called longevity and health with your eyes closed, and the fierce gods and evil eyes open and stop. Of course, these are all myths and legends, and the reason why we have to abide by these rules is nothing more than to mean an auspicious thing.
Yun Buregret didn't explain much after these things came to his mind, but just put the carving knife in his hand, sensed the weight of the carving knife, and immediately began to work. This carving knife is pointed, and the one in my own house is carved purely with the strength of the arm, so the carving time is somewhat different.
