Chapter 111: Acacia Wood, Waiting for Spring to Return
With a wave of his hand, the two people standing next to him uncovered the two lids on the table, revealing the two works covered in red silk.
"Everyone must be wondering why Mr. Wen's work appeared on the Bai family's booth, however, this is one of the biggest attractions of this expo! Mr. Wen's skills are absolutely beyond everyone's expectations! Now let's unveil its mystery!" The host pinched the corner of Wen Kang's silk cloth and pulled it hard!
The red satin poured out like flowing water, gradually revealing a delicate 50-centimeter-high solid rosewood root carving inside.
It turned out to be a root carving!
Lu Zi'an raised his eyebrows, revealing an interesting smile, which was a bit interesting.
It can be seen that this root carving is the pinnacle of Wenkang.
The whole root of the tree is carved into a graceful and luxurious, magnificent peony bush, the flowers are lifelike, a Ruyi is elegantly placed in the flowers, and the exquisite knife skills will be Ruyi slightly bent the branches but the feeling of being held by the petals is vividly depicted.
There was a low cry from the audience, and many people were ready to move, wondering how much money it would cost to shoot this work.
"Look! This is Mr. Wen's meticulously carved "Auspicious Ruyi"! As the saying goes, there are ten sandalwood and nine emptiness, and there are not many tall rosewood trees like this!" The host was so excited that his voice was a little fluttering: "This carving is especially rare! This Ruyi shape is very chic, dividing the roots of the tree into two parts, but there is a feeling that two islands are connected." ”
His fingertips gently touched the Ruyi: "This Ruyi aptly shows the natural arc of the root, starting from the whole, not fighting, not connecting, peony and Ruyi complement each other, the structure is ingenious, and the intersection is decent, it is really a rare and superior work, everyone says it's not?"
Many people in the audience responded repeatedly: "Yes!"
Someone else raised his voice and said: "Don't sell it, let's start filming quickly!"
The host smiled: "Cough, don't worry, of course, we still have to follow the old rules and ask Mr. Wen to come up and do some work to explain himself." ”
He bent down slightly and stretched out his hand elegantly: "Next, we have invited the creators of the root carving work of "Auspicious Ruyi", Wenkang, Mr. Wen to come to the stage!"
Wen Kang was wearing a dark blue suit today, and he appeared leisurely, he took the microphone and said generously: "Hello everyone, my exhibited work is "Auspicious Ruyi", this work has poured my and my grandfather's efforts for several months, in fact, the origin of this material is also a more interesting story......
He paused, his eyes fixed on Lu Zi'an's face for two seconds, and then he moved away as if nothing had happened: "The story originated a few years ago, when my father was still young, he met a year-old friend, how good is the relationship between the two, so good, that person asked my father to go to the roots of the tree, he went without saying a word, and walked thousands of miles into the nest of the mountain to find the roots." ”
Lu Zi'an squinted his eyes, and his heartstrings moved, could it be ......
Shen Mange next to him said in a low voice: "Picking tree roots?
Lu Zi'an nodded: "Well, it's just that some people think that the roots of the trees outside are not natural enough, and some roots and branches are destroyed, so they go into the deep mountains and old forests to find the old roots and dig them out." ”
"Oh......" Shen Mange thought thoughtfully.
And Wen Kangzheng on the stage continued: "My father was not very lucky, he actually fell off the cliff, and the people who accompanied him searched for several days, but he couldn't see anyone, he couldn't see the corpse, so he had to return, and when the news came back, everyone thought he was dead." ”
He smiled slightly: "But he didn't die, but he was seriously injured, and after being rescued, he hurt his head again, and he couldn't remember anything clearly, and it took almost ten years for him to finally recover and return to his hometown." ”
The audience booed: "We are here to see the exhibition, who wants to listen to your romance at eight o'clock!"
There are also people who object: "Hey, it sounds pretty miserable, let's finish it, young man." ”
The host didn't expect Wen Kang to say such a mess, and he looked at Wen Kang again and again, and he was so anxious that his forehead sweated.
Seeing that Wen Kang was unmoved, he hurriedly looked backstage, muttering in his heart: What's the matter with this person!
"At that time, my mother had married another and had a son, but when my father came back, my stepfather had already passed away, so my father wanted to renew the relationship. Wen Kang was unmoved: "But because of the worldly ties, they couldn't be together, and they finally chose to die of martyrdom...... The only gift my parents left me was this ...... The one that entrusts them with their most beautiful blessing is the red sandalwood root. ”
When they heard that they had died of martyrdom, some people in the audience sighed, and their eyes were slightly red at the end of the emotional hearing.
Wen Kang's expression was still relaxed and relaxed, and there was no trace of sadness in his eyes, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
He smiled and said: "Root art is a solidified thought, a static life, but this work that entrusts my parents' good wishes and hopes is not, it has a soul, I believe it will make the dreams of those who have it come true, just like its name, let you "auspicious Ruyi"! Thank you!"
There was a round of applause from the audience, although Wenkang turned a little urgently, but it still fit the theme.
And as a son, to be able to do this part, it can be regarded as the best and most filial piety, there are not many young people today who know how to be grateful, and his parents left him martyred, which is considered an irresponsible parent, and it is rare for him to think like this.
Even for this, they are willing to give him applause.
Wen Kang bowed gracefully and went down.
The host breathed a sigh of relief, secretly scolded him for finally coming back, and hurriedly smiled: "Okay, thank you Mr. Wen for bringing us such a touching story, now let's reveal Bai Shuhang, Mr. Bai's work!"
The red silk swayed, and when it landed gently, the strangely shaped root carving work on the table immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What, playing with us, isn't it, it's especially a root carving, why do you still have a few branches on it? ”
"You guys are mistaken, how can this be the work of the Bai family, get down!
"That's it, that bullshit just now said a sour love story, what should I say about this?"
There are also real insiders staring at the work and muttering: "I feel this ......"
The host's palms were a little sweaty, and he hurriedly said loudly: "As everyone has seen, yes, our Mr. Bai Shuhang's work is also a root carving! The name is very poetic, called "Waiting for Spring to Return"!"
He obviously heard the man's shouting just now, and smiled: "Of course, this is not a branch inserted, this is really the root, but Mr. Bai used his exquisite skills to carve it into a realistic branch!"
This time, no one in the audience spoke again, and everyone was meditating.
Wait for the spring to return.
The host asked Bai Shuhang to come out and elaborate, and Bai Shuhang strode onto the stage: "Hello everyone, let me introduce my work "Waiting for Spring to Return". This work is made of red bean wood, which is known as "acacia wood", red bean wood is not easy to crack, the color is pleasing to people, I have no lacquer or wax, it has its own color. ”
Many people in the audience nodded secretly, their eyes glued to the root carving and couldn't take them off.
At first glance, this work looks simple, but after a closer look, it is very interesting.
Acacia wood, waiting for the return of spring.
