Chapter 307: Da Mei is speechless
Probably because he was too surprised, Bai Mu Yugui completely lost his usual indifferent temperament, and his eyes were fixed on the wooden box in Qu Duoduo's hand like a demon: "You, how ...... you are"
Qu Duo Duo was taken aback by his expression, glanced at Shen Mange, and stood up with some hesitation: "Uh, hello." ”
"Sorry, I didn't mean anything else. Yuki Shiraki also realized his gaffe, quickly apologized, and said very sincerely: "I was just too surprised...... Can you borrow your lacquer box for a look?"
Lacquer box?
Following his gaze, Qu Duoduo looked at the lipstick box in his hand: "...... This ?Manman ......"
Shen Mange took out a piece of paper, wiped his lips, and nodded: "Show it to him." ”
After all, it's a guest, so it's not good to refuse directly.
Yuki Shiraki carefully took the lacquer box and looked at it carefully.
Peerless.
Da Mei is speechless.
He could never have imagined that such a beautiful maki-e would appear in the hands of such a little girl.
The carving of the lacquer box itself is extremely simple, a branch of cold plum and snow frost, elegant demeanor, vigorous and powerful branches.
The snow-white petals are extremely moist, the lacquer is not thick, and you can faintly see the fine lines on the petals, each flower is different, crystal clear like amber or jade.
When you look at it, you will feel the emotion that has not been put into your mouth, but has been written on your face.
Like a queen who dragged the floor-length skirt slowly, arrogant, arrogant, and unspeakably expensive.
Extremely beautiful.
But this was completely different from the maki-e he usually saw.
What's the difference?
Shiraki Yugui took a breath and watched carefully.
The flowers are too realistic, and the petals are repeated layer by layer, which is very jade-clean and ice-clear.
He closed his eyes slightly and sniffed carefully, as if he could really smell the faint, crisp fragrance of plums.
Yes, this difference lies in the truth of this lacquer box.
This plum blossom is too real, like amber freezing time, this plum blossom gives people the feeling that someone has inlaid a real plum blossom on this lacquer box.
After appreciating it, Bai Mu Yugui sighed with emotion: "Such a skill is really ingenious, and this design is very beautiful, it is really ingenious...... May I ask which master of the puppet country is this from? I have never seen such a unique technique. ”
If he's not mistaken, this is openwork and openwork, right?
What Maki-e master had mastered such a skill, and why had he never heard of it?
The more I looked at it, the more I was pleased, and without waiting for them to reply, I asked, "What kind of gem is this? Or is it for a precious watch?"
Maki-e master? What's that?
Although Shen Mange didn't know what Maki-e was, she still understood what he said about the puppet master of Maki-e.
She remembered that Uncle Lu had said yesterday that there would be puppet people coming as guests today, and she understood after a little look.
Shen Mange smiled slightly, and pointed to a small mechanism on the side in a reserved and low-key manner: "Press here, and the box will be opened......"
According to her instructions, Yuki Shiraki pressed it lightly, and sure enough, the box opened.
And Shen Mange continued: "This is Zi'an...... Oh, that's the lipstick box that Master Lu made for me, which means that it contains lipstick. ”
Lipstick?
Lipstick box!
Such a luxurious and luxurious Maki-e lacquer box...... It's even used to hold lipstick!
No, that's not the point.
The point is that Master Lu can even maki-e, and it is far better than all the masters he has ever seen!
Yuki Shiraki was completely stunned, staring at the lipstick in the lacquer box in disbelief.
Thinking that he didn't believe it was lipstick, Shen Mange naturally took the lacquer box from his hand, and touched up his lower lip makeup in the mirror with elegant and natural movements.
"Look, it's really lipstick. ”
Her white jade-like face was flushed with a natural slight flush, and her thin lips were lightly pursed, and she was truly glamorous.
yes, it's really lipstick.
If you can bring such a beautiful lacquer box back to Japan, it will definitely make a huge wave in the maki-e world.
It is carefully invited into the museum, placed on an ornate stand, and proudly defies visitors who come to see it through the glass.
But in Huaxia, this lacquer box is just an ordinary lipstick box.
It really does its job, not just a visual plaything.
This attitude alone has outperformed them by a lot.
Yuki Shiraki took one last look at the lacquer box in her hand and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.
For the first time, he forgot the etiquette, even thanking and saying goodbye, and walked back stiffly.
Walking back slowly, the friend who came with him was still talking in detail.
"Maki-e is an art that pays attention to carving, delicate decoration, and tends to depict natural scenery, mountains, thousand birds, vines, cherry blossoms, and other things all reflect the unique aesthetic taste of our puppet country. With a look of reverence and yearning, he carefully shared with Lu Zi'an many of the maki-e works he had seen.
Lu Zi'an listened very carefully and did not interrupt, occasionally nodding in agreement.
Say no more......
Yuki Shiraki thought back to the lacquer box he had just seen, and he couldn't wait to cover his friend's mouth.
But his education did not allow him to do such a rude thing, so he could only sit down next to him slowly.
The friend smiled, but with just the right amount of pride in his words, he explained to Lu Zi'an in detail: "Maki-e has pushed the decorative effect to the extreme of beauty, and it is more gorgeous and colorful than ordinary lacquer art, which also fully explains the extreme pursuit of romantic obsession in the bones of Chinese people......
However, Master Lu did a better job......
Didn't the previous news say that Master Lu was a master of wood carving?
Why is "Moon" made of jade?
Why does he know lacquer art again?
Bai Mu Yugui was completely stupid, watching his friend's mouth open and closed, and he was ashamed and ashamed in his heart.
If Master Lu showed a little disdain or mockery, he might be able to feel better.
However, Master Lu was very calm and thoughtful throughout the whole process, as if he listened with great interest.
This kind of bearing made Shiraki Yuki feel deeply impressed, and he felt ashamed of his previous idea that was not obvious and careful.
"This gift to you is the work of Master Chiaki Takaoka, who has been studying maki-e for more than 20 years, and his works are extremely beautiful......
I can't listen to it anymore.
If it continues, it will not be a boast, but a drag of Master Qianming to suffer the humiliation brought by his own people.
Yuki Shiraki stood up suddenly: "Master Lu, I'm very sorry!"
He bowed sharply, shocking everyone.
Even his friends, who had been talking endlessly, stopped telling and looked at him like a fool: What is crazy?
"We really haven't been able to study the assembly of the mortise and tenon structure of the jade building, so this time I came to ask for your advice, please help me give me some advice!"
Lu Zi'an raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled why he suddenly interjected.
However, this surprise only turned in his heart for a moment, and then he nodded indifferently: "Yes, did Yulou bring it?"
"Brought ......" Yuki Shiraki didn't look at his friend's wide eyes, and went straight to the wooden box to the coffee table.
The wooden box was opened, and "Moon Spirit", which had traveled through several countries, returned to Lu Zi'an.
At this moment, Lu Zi'an suddenly had a strange feeling.
It is no wonder that many masters sell their works overseas and then go to great lengths to buy them back in old age.
Because this kind of lost and regained touch, it is so moving.
He gently touched the cold pavilion of the Jade Tower, and the scene of creating it was vivid.
Bai Mu Yugui silently took his expression into his eyes, and did not urge Lu Zi'an, but thought about it seriously.
It only took about ten seconds for Lu Zi'an to come back to his senses.
He took the paper handed by Yuki Shiraki, flipped through it slightly, and found that they had marked each piece of jade and arranged it in various ways, making a thick explanation.
It's just that......
There are so many ways to do it, but none of them work.
Lu Zi'an only glanced at it, and then shook his head: "The method is wrong." ”
"Huh?" Shiraki Yuki came to his senses and looked at him with great trust: "Master Lu, please...... Teach!"
The crowd behind him also bowed.
"It doesn't have to be that way, it's simple. Lu Zi'an tapped lightly on the top of the jade tower.
Push the cornices at the top of the pavilion slightly with your fingers, then grasp the railings on both sides with both hands, and gently pull them to the sides.
In the eyes of everyone in disbelief, all the jade pieces turned into finger wrappers in his palms with great meekness.
Dismantled piece by piece, the most rare thing is that even if a large piece is concave in the middle, the jade building is still strong.
The scene they imagined of falling to the ground did not happen, and there was no breaking of the jade material.
"It's too much!" everyone was stunned.
Lu Zi'an dismantled it almost, pressed his right hand against the jade building, and then gently tilted it sideways.
When it was placed flat on the table, he pulled out the axis in the middle, and the jade pieces were scattered on the table.
The facts show that as long as the axis is in good shape, it doesn't matter how they dismantle it.
"This, I don't understand......" Yuki Shiraki struggled to recall the scene that had just happened, feeling like he was in a dream.
Is it that simple?
The friend beside him also nodded again and again: "Master Lu, can you please come again?"
Lu Zi'an glanced at him lightly, bent his lips, and said softly: "Shoot it down......"
I didn't refuse, but I didn't agree, as if I was just thinking.
Everyone's hearts were lifted high, rising and falling with the piece of jade he was unconsciously playing with in his hand.
Shiraki Yuki thought about it seriously before he said cautiously: "Don't worry, we will never spread it, your mortise and tenon structure has also applied for a patent in my country, and we will definitely strictly abide by the rules." ”
"This ......"
"Please!" everyone bowed.
Lu Zi'an was really convinced, he pointed to the seat next to him: "You don't have to be nervous, sit down and watch slowly." ”
For the sake of Master Gao's door, he is still willing to provide after-sales service.
It's just that the structure of this jade building is quite simple, and I don't understand why they are so strict.
If they knew that a more complex, more practical, and more rigorous pavilion was being built behind them, they didn't know what their expressions would be.
