Opening the box, a black light flashed, and with just a glance, Qin Yu was attracted by the jade pendant of Mocui in the box...... Read the latest and most complete novels

"What a carver. ”

Qin Yu held the jade pendant in the palm of his hand with both hands, this jade pendant was carved with Zhong Kui riding a bull statue, and the carved Zhong Kui: leopard head ringed eyes, iron face and sideburns, eyebrows and whiskers flying, riding on the body of the ox, holding a treasure knife in one hand, the posture is mighty, the momentum is awe-inspiring, and the curve of the ox under the seat is harmonious, the knife work is smooth, and there are almost no breakpoints.

Mr. Qin will take a look at the others. Zhuang Rui heard Qin Yu's praise, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to the other boxes.

"Hey, this is Zhong Kui's blessing?"

Qin Yu opened the second box according to his words, but it turned out that the statue of Zhong Kui's jade pendant in this box was different from the previous one, if the previous one reflected Zhong Kui's evil spirit, then on this jade pendant, the carved Zhong Kui looked majestic and solemn.

In fact, in addition to being a ghost chasing celestial master, Zhong Kui also has another road name: Blessing the Holy Monarch of the Town House, Zhong Kui on this jade pendant is holding a jade Ruyi, holding Ruyi, skillfully carved bats, lively and cute.

"Mr. Qin, this is Master Liu's opinion, if the ten jade pendants are carved with the same Zhong Kui statue, it is inevitable that it will be a little monotonous, these ten jade pendants, in addition to Zhong Kui riding a bull, Zhong Kui blessing, as well as Zhong Kui's marriage to a daughter, Zhong Kui's fighting ghosts, and Zhong Kui's town house, a total of these five kinds, are all evolved from the folk legend of Zhong Kui, each of which is two. ”

While listening to Zhuang Rui's introduction, Qin Yu observed the jade pendants in other boxes, and sure enough, as Zhuang Rui said, there are five types in total, but each one is carved lifelike, especially Zhong Kui's appearance, which is the most expressive.

In fact, Zhong Kui's appearance is very ugly, with a leopard's head and eyes. Otherwise, there would be no allusion to Zhong Kui's marriage among the people.

According to legend, there was a gentleman named Du Ping in Zhong Kui's hometown, who was kind and benevolent, and funded the silver two to help Zhong Kui go to Beijing for the exam, however, because of his ugly appearance, although Zhong Kui was admitted to the champion, he was removed from the position of champion by the emperor, and Zhong Kui was angry and crashed into the stairs and died. The corpse was in the Jinluan Palace, and Du Ping, who took the exam with him, buried it ceremoniously. After Zhong Kui became the ghost king, in order to repay Du Ping's kindness before his death, he led the ghost to return home on Chinese New Year's Eve and married his sister to Du Ping.

And these pieces of Zhong Kui jade pendants, in addition to Zhong Kui fighting ghosts, the carved Zhong Kui is indeed an ugly scary ghost, and the other Zhong Kui is full of majesty in the ugliness. This is the skill of the carver.

"Mr. Zhuang, where is that Master Liu, I must thank him well. ”

Qin Yu said sincerely, although Mocui is a treasure among jadeite. But this Master Liu's carving has increased the value of Mocui by a few points, no wonder there is a saying in the jade industry, the value of a piece of jade is seven points in the material. Three points are in the carving, Qin Yu finally understood.

"Haha, Mr. Qin is polite. To be honest, Master Liu also told me that he would like to thank Mr. Qin, for a carver, being able to carve good jade is also helpful for carvers. ”

"Okay, let's go to the carving workshop now, Master Liu is waiting for us there. ”

Zhuang Rui and Qin Yu said a few polite words, and then instructed Peng Fei to put the ten boxes into a lockbox, and then handed them to Qin Yu.

The carving workshop is an independent house, not far from Qin Yu's office, a few people walked for a few minutes to arrive, as soon as they entered the workshop, Qin Yu heard the sound of "ding ding".

This is a workshop of more than 200 square meters, which is piled with a lot of jade raw materials, there are several masters sitting on the long desk, some are hammering the jade embryo, some are carefully carved with a carving knife, although the light in this workshop is quite sufficient, but there is a lamp hanging in front of each master's desk.

"This is Master Liu. ”

Zhuang Rui pointed to a man in his fifties in front of the innermost desk, this man was carving a piece of cabbage jade at this time, carving a rough embryo, the man's hand was very stable, and it was also very powerful, the knife was very accurate, and he had many years of basic skills.

"Master Liu, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Qin, the owner of Mocui, and this is Jiang Tiezhu's child. ”

Zhuang Rui led Qin Yu to Master Liu, and waited until Master Liu put down the knife before speaking.

"Boss Zhuang is here. ”

When Master Liu saw that it was Zhuang Rui, a smile appeared on his face, and then he turned his gaze to Qin Yu's body and said, "Mr. Qin, thank you very much for handing over Mocui to me to carve, I don't know if you are still satisfied with the ten jade pendants?"

Master Liu didn't even glance at the iron pillar on the side, as if he were nothing.

"Master Liu is polite, I also want to thank Master Liu, the carving of Zhong Kui is so expressive, and it adds a lot of value to the jadeite. Qin Yu also noticed this Master Liu's attitude, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he quickly stretched out again.

"Hehe, Mr. Qin is strict. Master Liu smiled, didn't pay any attention to Qin Yu anymore, and turned his gaze back to Zhuang Rui, "Boss, this cabbage jade can be completely completed in just another week." ”

"Master Liu, this is not in a hurry, and the customer is not in a hurry, this time I brought Mr. Qin over because of the thing you told Master Liu last time. ”

Zhuang Rui's expression was also a little embarrassed, a few days ago, Qin Yu called him and asked him to recommend a jade carving master, he patted his chest and said that he had a first-class jade carving master in the factory, and this problem was on him.

However, after asking Master Liu, he learned that things are not so simple, Master Liu's lineage only recruits one apprentice per generation, and it is passed down from generation to generation, so he is very strict in accepting apprentices, and he will not withdraw apprentices without a certain talent.

Moreover, the carving line, is the sooner the better, generally about ten years old, if you are small, the hand bones are not completely nurtured, but thirteen years old, the hand bones have been formed, only about ten years old, according to the special training method, the flexibility of the hand bones will be very suitable for carving.

Therefore, knowing that Master Liu was reluctant to accept Tiezhu as an apprentice, Zhuang Rui was also a little embarrassed, he had boasted about Haikou before, and finally he could only persuade Master Liu to let Master Liu give Tiezhu a chance to test it, if not, learn from other masters.

"Is this kid going to learn carving from me?"

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Master Liu set his eyes on the iron pillar, "Stretch out your hand to show me." ”

Tie Zhu stretched out his hands as he said, and Master Liu just glanced at Tie Zhu's tiger's mouth, and frowned slightly, "Okay, don't stretch it out anymore, take it back."

"Master Liu, how is it?" Qin Yu and Zhuang Rui were both a little apprehensive, Tie Zhu also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and the little guy also looked at Master Liu with hopeful eyes.

"Hey, this kid is not suitable for learning my carving, the bones on his wrists are all formed, and the carving of our vein pays attention to a circle, at least one hundred and eighty degrees of rotation. ”

Master Liu stretched out his hand, turned his wrist so that his fingers and arm were at a vertical angle, and then turned his palm, and the direction of his fingers rotated 180 degrees, but his wrist did not move.

Master Liu's hand made Qin Yu and Zhuang Rui stunned, and Peng Fei on the side even stretched out his palm to try it, but he only rotated it to ninety degrees. But being able to rotate 90 degrees is already very powerful, and the average person is between 30 and 60 degrees.

"Master Liu, you have been trained for many years, Tie Zhu still thought, maybe after training, you can also reach this point?" Qin Yu was still a little unwilling and argued.

"Impossible, this is innate, training can only play an amplifying role, which is why I haven't accepted apprentices for so many years, it's difficult to find a suitable apprentice, but even if it's difficult, you can't fill it indiscriminately, and you'd rather lack it than indiscriminately, which is what the master explained at the beginning." ”

Master Liu's answer made Qin Yu's eyebrows furrow, and Tie Zhu even had a disappointed expression on his face, but the little guy was stronger, and he still had an unconvinced expression on his face.

"I've carved things myself before, and the carvings are also very beautiful, uncle, let's find other masters. ”

"Hmph, you have carved things, what do you know, carvers are also divided into several grades, if you want to become a first-class carving master, talent is very important, with your hand bones, at most you will become a second-rate carver, and there is no hope of becoming a carving master for life. Master Liu sneered when he heard Tie Zhu's words.

"I can also carve this cabbage. Tie Zhu replied unconvinced.

"If you know how to carve cabbage, I will promise to take you as an apprentice. Master Liu glanced at the iron pillar, cabbage, is the most particular about carving, cabbage lines, all need deep carving, not to learn for five or six years, will not start at all, if a child who has not been exposed to jade carving can also carve cabbage, then most of the carvers, including him, can find a piece of tofu to die.

"I don't want you to take me as an apprentice, but I can carve it for you. Tiezhu also replied with a backbone.

"Iron pillar?" Qin Yu looked at the iron pillar with some concern, this jade carving also requires skills, even if the iron pillar has carved things before, it should only be carved with wood or mud, which is a completely different concept from jade.

"Uncle Shi, I can do it. ”

"Well, I believe you. Seeing Tie Zhu's eyes, stubborn and firm, Qin Yu inexplicably surged with confidence, perhaps, Tie Zhu can really do it.

"There's a table there, there's no one, there's a carving knife on it, and I don't want you to carve the whole cabbage, as long as you can carve the line of the cabbage, I'll admit that you can carve the cabbage." ”

The table that Master Liu said was not far from him, Qin Yu walked to the table with the iron pillar, Zhuang Rui glanced at Master Liu, then at Qin Yu and the iron pillar, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally, he sighed lightly and chose to be silent. (To be continued......)
