Chapter 724: Photo Box Pendant

Wei Cunshi said bluntly: "You can rest assured to accept it, this thing is an ivory product, and it can't be auctioned, saying that there are 200,000 yuan, but in fact, it will definitely not sell so much." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And for me, this thing is just for reference to engraving technology, and I don't make money from it. ”

Wei Cunshi persuaded him well, but under the graciousness, Meng Zitao accepted it.

At this time, Yang Jinfang said to Meng Zitao with a smile on her face: "Teacher Meng, I wonder if I can ask you for a piece of calligraphy?"

"Mom. Yu Xiaoyan pulled her mother, someone else's word is worth hundreds of thousands, you still beg, even if the family has money, you can't be such a loser, right?

Yang Jinfang glared at her daughter: "What's the matter, I didn't let Teacher Meng do a day job!"

As she spoke, she took out a pendant from her bag and placed it on the table.

"Teacher Meng, do you think this pendant fits?"

"Is this a photo box pendant?" Meng Zitao asked casually.

I believe that everyone can see the kind of pendant with photos in it after opening it on TV or in movies, and the pendant that Yang Jinfang took out is this kind of pendant.

Yang Jinfang nodded and said: "Yes, it's a photo box pendant, this thing has been around for some years, but there are no photos in it." And you see that there is a piece of malachite inlaid on it, the value of this thing is not very high, but you look at its shape, it is not carved, but naturally formed, which is very rare. ”

"Naturally formed?" Meng Zitao was a little surprised.

Malachite was called "green green", "stone green" or "green langji" in ancient China. Malachite got such a beautiful name due to its color resembling the green of the specks on peacock feathers. It is produced in the oxide zone of copper sulphide deposits and is often symbiotic with other copper-bearing minerals (azurite, chalcocite, chalcoite, natural copper, etc.).

The stone belongs to copper ore rock, the texture is dense and delicate, the hardness is about 5 degrees, the copper content is 57.5%, there are emerald green, dark green, pink green, sky blue and other colors; the texture has concentric patterns with intercolored bands, bundle-like radial patterns, velveteen ring halo patterns, etc., it is a cryptocrystalline aggregate shape, opaque, showing glass and silk luster; the morphological structure has grape-like, stalactite-like, crust-like, velvet-like, crystalline clusters, etc., with grape stalactite-like as the most common; the natural shape resembles the shape of landscape forest, mountains and mountains, strange peaks and strange holes or birds and beasts.

A piece of malachite inlaid on the pendant is like a peacock with an open screen, which is so vivid that at first glance it is thought to be carved, and many people will be surprised if they know that it is naturally formed.

Meng Zitao picked up the pendant with surprise, but in the process, the afterglow of his eyes happened to notice Yu Xiaoyan's somewhat surprised expression, and thought, is there something wrong with this pendant?

This is a photo box pendant made of gold, because it has been some years, the surface has been a little blackened, according to Mencius Tao's experience, this should be a natural formation.

For those who don't know about gold jewelry, they will definitely wonder why gold jewelry turns black after wearing it for a long time, and whether they will buy a fake.

In fact, the cause of the blackening of gold jewelry is the sweat and other substances discharged from the human body, which will react with the silver and copper in gold jewelry to produce a deep black silver chloride and copper sulfide, which sometimes fall from the gold jewelry and will also contaminate the wearer's skin, leaving a very obvious black stain.

This oxidation is easiest to clean with a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush (baby toothbrushes are also available). Avoid toothpastes that contain abrasives. After washing, you can dry an old towel with a cotton wool thread texture or place it on it to air dry.

To get back to the point, the most eye-catching thing on the pendant is the inlaid malachite, this piece of malachite is indeed not big, it is estimated to be about the same size as a one-yuan coin, this size of malachite is not expensive in the market, but the strange is that the shape of this malachite is not carved but naturally formed.

At this point, Meng Zitao could see at a glance that there was no problem. Therefore, such malachite is quite rare. It's just that this malachite is too small after all, although it is rare and the value is limited, as for how much it can be sold for, it is really not easy to judge, it still depends on personal preference.

Then, Meng Zitao opened the photo box, and it was empty, and there were no photos of anyone inside, and it didn't look unusual.

Since it was a cloudy day and it was morning, the light was on in the room, and Meng Zitao closed the photo box, and when he closed the photo box to a certain position, he vaguely seemed to see something.

So, he pretended to open the photo box at random, and under normal circumstances, he didn't find anything, until the moment the photo box was closed, his eyes caught a little information.

"Sister Yang, do you really plan to exchange this pendant for my words?" Meng Zitao asked.

Yang Jinfang smiled: "Yes, I just don't know if you want to?"

"What do you want me to write?"

"Let's write a poem too, just the more famous one, such as "Silent Night Thoughts" or something. ”

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Then I'll write "Title Capital City Nanzhuang", do you think it's okay?"

"Is this poem famous?" Yang Jinfang looked a little dazed.

Yu Xiaoyan slapped her forehead: "Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The human face is unknown, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. Haven't you heard this poem?"

"Ugh. I'm sure I've heard this poem, but who knows it's called. Yang Jinfang smiled a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Meng, then please write this poem." ”

"Okay. ”

Mencius pondered his emotions for a while, and then wrote this quatrain for the ages.

When the ink was dry, Meng Zitao helped put away the calligraphy and handed it to Yang Jinfang, and then the mother and daughter took their leave.

Before leaving, Yang Jinfang asked Zhou Yide to inform her as soon as possible after he had news, and Zhou Yide also agreed.

When the mother and daughter went out, Yu Xiaoyan complained: "Mom, I think you were really embarrassed just now." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Yang Jinfang nodded on Yu Xiaoyan's head: "What's the matter with you girl, why do you like to pick my thorn today!"

"You know the reason!" Yu Xiaoyan pouted: "In other words, I cheated you out of your money, you don't know why you say anything about me! ”

Yang Jinfang scolded: "Hey, you said you were fat and you were still panting." You don't want to think about it, your pocket money is not given by me and your father. ”

Yu Xiaoyan said: "Don't divert the topic, I'm talking about you asking Teacher Meng to do calligraphy, the photo box was obviously given to you by your aunt, you actually used it to exchange calligraphy works, what kind of behavior are you! ”

"Let's just say it's lost. Yang Jinfang said indifferently.

Yu Xiaoyan was stunned and said: "No, you can actually find this kind of reason, aren't you pit Teacher Meng?"

Yang Jinfang waved his hand: "Oh, this is not an expedient skill, with his calligraphy, the money I was cheated of also has a saying, besides, your aunt and Teacher Meng are separated by 108,000 miles, the sea of people is vast, and they don't know each other, how can there be that opportunity to meet? ”

"You ......" Yu Xiaoyan was a little angry: "I'm ashamed to have a mother like you, after I go back, I must report and expose you!"

"You dare!" Yang Jinfang's eyes widened angrily, but she immediately changed her smiling face: "Daughter, don't be like this, I'll tell you......"

Not to mention how Yang Jinfang persuaded her daughter to hide it, on the other side, after the mother and daughter left, Wei Cunshi asked Zhou Yide: "She said a liar or something just now, what's the matter?"

"That's the way it is. Zhou Yide told Wei Cunshi about the process of the mother and daughter being deceived.

Wei Cunshi pouted: "So that's the case, this girl looks very shrewd, it turns out that she is also a fool who loves to be greedy and cheap, if this kind of person changes me, I would have let her get away a little longer, just you actually want to help her, don't go to the end, you can't find a liar, she still blames you." ”

Zhou Yide hesitated a little and said, "This shouldn't be possible." ”

"Hehe, I'll leave it here, you can do it yourself. Wei Cunshi patted Zhou Yide on the shoulder, and then said to Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, why don't we go to my studio and sit down, I still have some good tea there." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Wei Cunshi took Meng Zitao to his studio, what Meng Zitao didn't expect was that the room was actually quite clean, and all kinds of tools and jade rough stones were neatly placed, which was completely different from what Meng Zitao imagined.

Wei Cunshi may have seen Meng Zitao's surprise, and said with a smile: "Don't look at me as sloppy in appearance, in fact, I prefer clean and tidy places, but when it comes to my personal problems, I can save it." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Cunshi scratched his head a little embarrassed, fortunately his chicken-like hair was not very dirty, otherwise this scratch might be like snow.

Wei Cunshi invited Meng Zitao to take a seat, at this time, Zhou Yide also followed, Wei Cunshi glanced at him, didn't say anything, went to wash his hands, and brought tea leaves and a set of tea sets.

"This is the Tieguanyin brought by my friend, which is his own cultivation and left for his relatives and friends to drink, and it cannot be seen in the market at all, and the 'rhyme' is excellent. ”

The full name of "rhyme" is "Guanyin rhyme", and there is no such thing as Tieguanyin. In addition to the external features, the quality characteristics of Tieguanyin can be summarized by having "rhyme".

After Tieguanyin is brewed, the aroma is puffy, the soup color is the same as mung bean water, the taste is delicious, evocative, and the "rhyme" is from the special aroma and taste of Tieguanyin.

The aroma of Tieguanyin is rich and clear, fresh and refreshing, just like the hollow valley orchid, nourishing the heart and spleen, making people full of interest; Tieguanyin population, mellow and fresh fragrance, sliding down the throat, refreshing and sweet, endless aftertaste, troubles are lost.

Some people say that the best Guanyin King in the Tieguanyin taste, there is a sense of transcendent sainthood, as if the feather turned into a fairy, leaving all the mundane things behind, this true and wonderful feeling is probably the origin of people naming the unique charm of Tieguanyin as "Guanyin rhyme".

Next, Wei Cunshi brewed the tea leaves with skillful techniques and distributed the tea soup: "Please taste it." ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, and before tasting the tea, he first observed the color of the soup, and saw that the soup was golden, bright and clear. Smell lightly at the end of the cup, with a unique aroma that is fragrant and long-lasting. Finally, sip the mouth, smell while sipping, pour and drink, the taste is mellow, slightly honey-scented. After drinking, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, the mouth and throat are sweet, and the heart is relaxed.

"Good tea!" Meng Zitao praised.

Wei Cunshi finished tasting a cup of tea with an intoxicated face: "Tea is a good tea, but unfortunately there are not many of them, and it is difficult to say whether you can drink it next year or not." ”

"What's wrong?" Meng Zitao asked.

Wei Cunshi sighed: "Hey, it's also my friend's father who made a fool of himself and fell for the scam of a liar, saying that there are some policies to buy commemorative coins that benefit the people, each set is worth a lot, but it doesn't exceed 1,000 yuan, not only has a collection value, but also can increase in value and sell money, and after saving for two months, he can also exchange money for money and increase in value. The old man couldn't think about it for a while, and finally committed suicide by drinking medicine. ”

Zhou Yide said angrily: "These liars are so hateful, when they use this kind of money, don't they feel a little guilty in their hearts!"

"What you are talking about is nonsense, since you have become a liar, how can there be humanity at all, if you want me to say, once the liar is caught, he should be sentenced to death!"

Wei Cunshi waved his hand: "Forget it, don't mention this disappointment, let's continue to drink tea." ”

After drinking tea for a while, we talked about the things on the jade.

Meng Zitao asked, "Teacher Wei, you should have been learning carving for a long time, right?"

Wei Cunshi said: "Well, I became interested in carving at the age of fifteen, and later learned jade carving through my father. But I'm not very good-tempered, and within a month, my master kicked me out of the door, and when I thought about it, I simply figured it out for myself, until now. ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he admired: "It seems that you should have suffered a lot over the years." ”

"It's no exaggeration to say that I'm just having fun in my suffering. ”

Wei Cunshi said: "Don't look at us carving a jade jade carving seems not difficult, in fact, it is much more complicated, first of all, we must examine the jade, observe the appearance of the jade shape, color, jade quality and cracks, etc., and then according to the size, color, texture and texture of the jade to conceive and design." ”

"As we all know, there are many kinds of jadeite, the color is complex and changeable, and even different parts of the same piece of jadeite raw materials are different in species, water, color, etc., which requires us to repeatedly examine a piece of jade from all angles to find the beauty and shortcomings in it. ”

Next, through mental activities such as association and imagination, the composition is carried out, and the carving theme is designed in the mind. Therefore, a very important part of the creation of jade carving can kill a lot of brain cells. The next step is to set the form, cure the form, and convey the spirit, and each step takes a lot of energy and time......"

Wei Cunshi talked eloquently, on the one hand, complaining, on the other hand, he also told a lot of knowledge about jade and jade carving, which benefited Meng Zitao and Zhou Yide a lot.

When the conversation was almost over, Meng Zitao asked about the canopy......
