Chapter 275: Superb Stone Carving

Seeing the humble status of stone carving art, Shi Lao was very heartbroken and wanted to do something in his lifetime.

And now the opportunity has come, a young man who has recently risen and has an attitude of identification with stone carving has entered the world of Shi Lao in a different way, and brought him a ray of hope.

Zhou You held up the stone sculpture of Shoushan Pavilion and replied firmly: "Even if there is only this stone sculpture, I will also include him in the ranks of modern artworks." ”

"Thank you!"

Shi Lao felt a long-lost sincerity, but he was not impulsive, and said, "If Your Excellency's museum opens, please be sure to notify me." ”

Shi Lao is not one of those impulsives, and his museum is still in the process of being drafted, so it is naturally impossible for him to blindly enter it now. All he can do now is to make it as convenient as possible for the other party.

Zhou You replied happily: "Of course, Shi Lao is the Taishan Beidou in the stone carving world, if I don't invite Shi Lao, it will definitely attract criticism." ”

Ma Fatzi thought that Shi Lao would perform something, but he didn't want to be a little disappointed that it would be such a result. However, Shi Lao's stone carvings are definitely top works of art, even if Ma Fatzi doesn't know how to appreciate them, he doesn't want to miss them, and asked: "Mr. Shi, I don't know how to sell the remaining stone carvings?"

I don't want Shi Lao to refuse: "Mr. Ma, these are just things carved from ordinary stones, but they are not precious stones such as Shou Stone, Qingtian Stone, Chang Fossil Stone, and Bahrain Stone, which can't match Mr. Ma's identity, I think it's better to forget it." ”

Zhou You asked, "Then sell it to me, I'm very interested in these things!"

Shi Lao nodded and replied: "You kid's eye for me, and these things are not worth a few dollars, don't talk about any money, you can take it." ”

The fat man was choked and speechless.

Zhou You didn't shirk it, and accepted it all with a smile.

Shi Lao was not confused to the extreme, and said: "Mr. Ma, I still have some handicrafts carved from precious stones, if you are interested, you might as well let my son take you to see it." ”

"Couldn't be better!"

The fat man nodded hurriedly.

Zhou You saw that Ma Fatzi was driven away by Shi Lao's envoy, and looked at Shi Lao with a smile, wanting to see what interesting things he had to say. It's a pity that Zhou You was disappointed, because Shi Lao was also smiling, looking at him fixedly, and didn't speak, which made the atmosphere extremely strange.

Long.

Zhou You finally asked helplessly: "Old Shi, if you have anything to say, just ask, the kid knows and will speak, and he will do everything he wants." ”

Shi Lao sighed and said, "Boy, haven't you seen that thing after sitting for so long?"

When you heard this, you immediately looked around.

It's good not to look at it, but at first glance, I saw a stone slab hanging in the most conspicuous place.

"Warring States Stone Carving!"

Zhou You couldn't help but exclaim.

However, when he looked closely, he found that the stone slab in front of him did not seem to be so old. This ancient stone carving is about 35 centimeters long, about 20 centimeters wide, the upper two corners are the phoenix patterns of symmetrical arrangement, the left side of the lower two corners is the coiled dragon pattern, the middle is carved out of the hollow carving method of the heavenly maiden group dance picture, dance and other postures, the image is vivid, the carving is exquisite, the layout is impeccable.

Such a perfect stone carving, Zhou You only saw it in some documentaries, but all of them were regarded as national treasures, and now they are not seen at all.

Shi Lao asked again: "What do you think of the carving technique?"

Zhou You replied without thinking about it: "Grandmaster-level level!"

Shi Lao nodded and replied: "This person's carving techniques have indeed reached the point of impeccable, punching, scratching, cutting, scraping and other knife techniques and relief, openwork and other expressions are perfectly combined, and the ancients' yearning for heaven is vividly revealed. The most terrifying thing is that it can contain such a rich language in such a small stone slab, and there is an unimaginable infectious force between the dense and the virtual, the square and the round, and the thickness and slenderness. ”

Zhou You also admired: "A simple small stone carving can carve such a rich oriental language, such an artistic realm is probably only within the reach of Shi Lao." ”

"Don't lift up old decay. ”

Shi Lao said with a wry smile: "I have struggled all my life to surpass this work. It's a pity that I'm old and can't do it. ”

Zhou You deeply felt the regret and unwillingness in Shi Lao's words, but Zhou You couldn't do anything and could only be silent.

Shi Lao said: "Young man, if you are really willing to do something for our stone carvers, then Lao Yu will not be stingy, this hollow stone carving from the Sui and Tang Dynasties is a little bit of Lao Yu's heart." ”

"No ......"

Zhou You hurriedly excused himself and said, "This is too valuable, the kid can't afford it." ”

You must know that this Sui and Tang Dynasty hollow stone sculpture is a national treasure-level treasure. Perhaps its actual value is not very high, but its historical value and artistic value is immeasurable, it represents the essence of an era, is a peak of stone carving art, its influence is definitely no less than the Zhou Yu collection of the three friends of the year and the Tang Dynasty sea beast grape mirror.

Shi Lao said: "Don't think that this Sui and Tang Dynasty hollow stone carving is so easy to eat. If your museum can't be opened until I close my eyes, I'll take it back. ”

Zhou You thought for a moment and nodded silently.

He knew that once he accepted the hollow stone carvings of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it would be equivalent to shouldering the expectations of Shi Lao and the pressure of the rise of stone carvers. However, Zhou Touring likes a challenge, and he needs to have a goal, at least he feels that the museum he conceives should be up to the task.

"Haha......"

The fat man laughed and walked out.

And Shi Lao's son was also full of smiles, obviously what agreement had been reached between them.

As soon as Ma Fatzi saw Zhou You, he asked: "How about it? Have you talked to Shi Lao for a long time?" If you finish chatting, go back and prepare first, but I have negotiated a big deal with Xiaohua, and I need a lot of money." ”

Zhou You glanced at Ma Fatzi and Shi Hua suspiciously, but unfortunately both of them only smiled and did not respond to Zhou You.

"Go, don't live up to the old expectations! As for the things, I will send someone to your house. ”

Shi Lao waved his hand at Zhou You, and actually had the intention of chasing away customers.

Zhou You didn't dare to continue to bother, and hurriedly said goodbye: "That kid will leave, please take care of your body, you must wait for the kid's invitation!"

"Don't worry!"

Shi Lao replied lightly, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

Zhou You and Ma Fatzi can only say goodbye.

After saying goodbye, Zhou You and Ma Fatzi had no show.

However, Zhou You still has to participate in the collector exchange meeting at night, so Zhou You removed the program of participating in the gambling stone exchange meeting for the second time from the schedule, and just exchanged the experience of gambling stones and antiques in the Jade Pavilion, and slowly waited for the time to come.

"Sir, please show me the invitation!"

Although Zhou You, dressed in formal clothes, does not look like a troublemaker, but the security guards still dare not be careless, those who can attend tonight's party are amazing big shots, and any accident can cause a storm, and the security guards naturally have to be serious and serious.

"This is my invitation!"

Zhou You handed over the invitation, and the security guard immediately welcomed after taking a look at it: "Mr. Zhou, welcome to the Night Wind Club, I wish you a pleasant night!"

Zhou You walked in with a smile.

I have seen the Aegean Club and the Gauss Club in Guangzhou, and I am naturally immune to the so-called luxury gatherings. But this time it really gave him a different taste, if the Aegean Club in Shencheng and the Gauss Club in Guangzhou are all luxury-based, then here is really a bit of an "ancient" taste, but it is only a little, compared with the professional level of Longque Tower, it is really a lot worse.

"It's easier said than done to blend modernity and antiquity!"

You can feel the atmosphere of the builder and the layout when you travel around, but unfortunately in his eyes, such a layout is quite a failure.

The first impression was not very good, and Zhou You's evaluation of this exchange meeting really dropped a lot, but he didn't show it either, and quietly walked to the club hall.

"Xiaoyou, it's really you!"

Lin Yizhen, who was alone, saw Zhou You appear and showed a hint of surprise.

Zhou You felt that he was too early, and he didn't want Lin Yizhen to be earlier than him.

Zhou You looked at Lin Yizhen, who was dressed in luxury, and greeted with a smile: "Sister Lin is really bright and moving tonight, it seems that she is full of confidence." ”

Tonight, every collector will bring their favorite antiques to exchange and learn, and there will be a selection activity at the last minute of the collectors' exchange meeting, so that everyone can anonymously select everyone's favorite antiques.

Although there are no rewards for the selection results, the atmosphere of the exchange meeting is not too utilitarian, but everyone is a celebrity in the circle, and they don't like their carefully collected treasures to be relegated to others, and it is a bit of a competitive atmosphere.

Lin Yizhen didn't expect that Zhou You would take the initiative to adjust the atmosphere, and she also started the topic: "I heard that Xiaoyou has been moving a lot recently, not only to build a large private museum, but also to take out medium and high-end jadeite one after another to exchange for various collectible antiques and artworks, which is really combative!"

Zhou You was not embarrassed at all, and replied: "No way, for the sake of the teacher's long-cherished wish, I can only bite the bullet." And I'm still young, and I need a lifelong goal to whip myself, otherwise I'll be stagnant. ”

"No wonder the Xu family and the Cheng family treat you as their own. ”

Lin Yizhen suddenly muttered with feeling, then looked at Zhou You with a strange look and asked, "Xiaoyou, your museum is established, will you send me an invitation?"

"Yes!"

Zhou You said very frankly: "Because I know that with our relationship, once I invite you, you will definitely send me a batch of antiques to support the scene." ”

"I didn't expect you to be such a direct person. ”

Lin Yizhen became more and more surprised by the changes in Zhou You, and sighed: "Have you really accepted me as an ally?"

Zhou You recalled his choice, nodded, and replied, "Sort of." I've been thinking about this before, since you've joined our group, there's no need for pointless hostility, and all my thoughts are on the museum, the affairs of the Yuanzhen Group must not be taken care of, I don't want to work but want to get the highest income, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world, so I think we should start trying to accept you. ”

"Thank you!"

Lin Yizhen's words are a little helpless and a little ironic.

"Jane!"

At this moment, a very sensual title made Zhou You shiver.

"Help me stop him!"
