ps: Today's second update, ask for monthly pass support. ,!

On the way, Wang Guan also took the opportunity to ask Yu Feibai about Master Lu Chongming.

"When it comes to Xi Lao, ordinary people must not know it very well, but in the jade carving world, it can be said to be a big name, everyone knows it, and everyone knows it." Yu Feibai's expression was reverent, and he gushed about the life deeds of Xi Lao.

From the early days of participating in the carving of the Monument to the People's Heroes, to later serving in relevant departments, responsible for the carving of national rite jade. After retiring with honor, he returned to his hometown to study the technique, and his craft went to the next level, becoming a master admired by everyone in the jade carving world.

Wang Guan listened attentively and was also a little amazed.

Because Yu Feibai told many secrets, such as the heirloom treasures that are often exhibited around the world, they are actually just replicas. Those things that are crystal clear, beautiful, finely carved, and vivid are just imitations that Xi Lao spent several months carving.

"It's so realistic, and foreigners don't know much about Chinese jade, and no one has found a flaw at all." Yu Feibai smiled and said: "Those who can see the flaws are probably also domestic experts, and they also know the truth, and they will not publicize it at all." Besides, some masters have also received this kind of work commissioned by major museums, and it is not beneficial to anyone if they are exposed. ”

In addition to being amazed, Wang Guan was also a little worried: "What if someone uses an imitation to drop the real bag?" ”

"No way."

Yu Feibai shook his head and said, "It depends on consciousness." Fortunately, imitations are imitations after all, no matter how realistic they are. The quaint charm is definitely not as thick as the real thing. Experienced connoisseurs can certainly see that something is wrong, and I have heard that the imitation of something commissioned by someone will generally leave a secret money, so as not to make any mistakes in the future, and there are reasons to justify it. ”

"Alas, the water is too muddy."

Wang Guan sighed and said, "Sure enough, the world is as black as a crow." ”

"Who said it wasn't ......"

Yu Feibai thought deeply: "So, it's not that everyone doesn't know that Gu Yu is good, but there are too many cats, and ordinary people don't have a high ability to discriminate." Just buy new jade, so it's more assured. Some people are even worried about buying fake jade, so they simply buy jade wool by themselves and then ask someone to carve it. This shows how low everyone's trust in the jade in the market store is. ”

"When you say that, it reminds me of the joke of paying two hundred dollars to buy a two-cent screw."

It was a joke in his mouth, but Wang Guan didn't smile, but felt very sad: "If you do this." The additional cost is estimated to be several times that of the finished jade. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Yu Feibai nodded and said, "The gains outweigh the losses." Here's the problem. Those people felt that it was worth it, at least they could be sure that they were playing with the real jade ......"

"Hmm."

Wang Guan was very sure: "You have so many feelings, it can be seen that among those people, you are definitely the only one." ”

“kao！ No, don't slander people casually......" Yu Feibai tried his best to defend himself, and after holding on for a few minutes, he said in frustration: "Okay, I admit it, but that was a long, long time ago......

"Here we are."

Between words. Yu Feibai drove Lu Chongming to his destination, which was a very ordinary village outside Taicang City. Due to its proximity to the city, the village is relatively wealthy, and most of the buildings are brick and cement buildings. However, the green trees in the village are more luxuriant, and the tender buds and leaves are growing, full of spring atmosphere.

At this time, Lu Chongming's car. Stop at the most shaded spot in the village.

It was at the end of the village, where a clear stream meandered through it, and on the banks of it were rows of willows, as if they were a natural barrier. Surrounded by a small fenced courtyard. At this time, Lu Chongming got out of the car, pushed the fence door open, and then shouted loudly: "Master, we are here." ”

"Come in yourself."

After a while, a vigorous and powerful voice came from the small courtyard.

"Let's go, Master, let us in."

Lu Chongming turned his head to greet him, and then walked briskly into the small courtyard, and Wang Guan and Yu Feibai naturally followed.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Guan saw the living room of the small courtyard, which was similar to Lu Chongming's studio, and the windows were also bright and clean, very clean and tidy. During this period, an old man with all his hair and wearing an old-style Zhongshan suit sat peacefully on a bamboo and rattan chair, holding a delicate purple sand pot in his right hand, watching TV very leisurely.

At this time, a drama was playing on the TV. With a lingering and tactful singing voice, a soft and distant voice, and delicate movements, although Wang Guan couldn't hear what he was singing, he also knew that this was Kunqu Opera. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, anyway, there are words on the screen, a big title, and the words Kunqu Opera Peony Pavilion already explain everything.

"Master......"

At the right time, Lu Chongming called respectfully, and then introduced: "These are the two friends I just told you, Yu Feibai and Wang Guan. ”

"Hello, Mr. Xi."

The two naturally bowed down and greeted each other.

"Good...... Sit down and talk. Xi Lao nodded slightly, turned off the TV with the remote control, a smile appeared on his face, and ordered: "Chongming, pour tea for the guests." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xi."

After Wang Guan and Yu Feibai thanked him, they sat down. Immediately, Lu Chongming took out the tea set with ease, and when he poured tea for the two of them, he didn't forget to pour himself a cup.

"You really understand?"

At the same time, Xi Lao said lightly: "It's not to make me happy, I deliberately don't know how to pretend to understand." ”

"I didn't know how to pretend to understand before, but now I really understand." Lu Chongming honestly admitted, and then begged: "Master, I want to move back and live and study with you for a while." ”

"Huh?"

Xi Lao's expression moved, and his majestic eyes were a little more surprised: "You are willing to give up a few years of hard work, and it is not easy to create a studio that is successful and well-known in the industry?" ”

"Don't give up." Lu Chongming was surprised: "At most, I will do less work, no longer use computer equipment to assist, and completely rely on my own ideas and carving, so it should be okay." ”

"Looks like you only half of it."

Xi Lao nodded and said, "However, it can be regarded as a rare thing. I thought it would be a few years before you woke up when you were stuck in a bottleneck. I didn't expect that you would understand it now, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad and sigh. ”

"I've got it, isn't it?" Lu Chongming was a little puzzled.

"Chongming, you are really smart and very talented. It is precisely like this, among my many apprentices, you are the most likely to reach the top, and the one who is the least likely to reach the pinnacle. ”

Xi Lao said softly: "Because talented people always learn things quickly, even if you encounter any difficulties, you will quickly overcome them under my advice." So you are also the fastest to get out of the school, and in just a few years, your strength has increased by leaps and bounds, reaching a level that ordinary people can barely touch for decades. ”

"In the beginning, I was really happy. After all, you have lived up to my expectations, you have not wasted your qualifications, and most importantly, you are very young, with unlimited possibilities, and you have a bright future. I firmly believe that in another thirty years, or twenty years, you will definitely be able to completely surpass me and advance to the legendary Grandmaster realm. ”

Speaking of this, Xi Lao sighed: "But it turns out that I am too optimistic. You're so smart, so smart that you can even take advantage of it. I was very worried, knowing that disaster was coming, and reprimanded you fiercely a few times, but I didn't know that you were submissive on the surface, but in your heart it was not the same thing. ”

"Master, I was wrong." Lu Chongming was very ashamed.

"Yes, that's the attitude." Xi Lao said helplessly: "As soon as I teach you a lesson, you will admit your mistakes, so that I can't figure out whether you really know that you are wrong, or pretend to know that you are wrong." ”

"Don't talk yet......"

Seeing this situation, Lu Chongming naturally wanted to defend himself. However, Xi Lao waved his hand and said even more helplessly: "Although I am older, I also know that you young people have read a lot of books, and you also know a lot of all kinds of big truths. But if you understand and understand, but you are unwilling to put it into practice, there is no difference between not understanding it. ”

"I really understand, and I'm willing to do it."

Lu Chongming hurriedly said: "That's why I plan to move back to live, please ask the master to supervise and inspect." ”

"It's good if you have a heart, it doesn't matter if the governor urges it or not. After all, this kind of thing is mainly based on voluntary consciousness, you can't bear it, can I still force you to do it? ”

Xi Lao chuckled lightly and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that you understand half of it, or you are only willing to understand half of it." But come to think of it, I didn't fully understand it until I retired, so I won't force you anymore. Anyway, when you get to that point, if you still have the ambition to break through, you will definitely be willing to drop everything. At that time, it was really all understood. ”

"Master, I know this, but I can't do it." Lu Chongming smiled bitterly.

"It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I am willing to do it, so let's not talk about it."

At this time, Xi Lao smiled kindly: "You really have to thank your two friends, if this incident didn't touch you a little, I'm afraid you wouldn't have made up your mind to pick up the most basic craftsmanship again." ”

"It's a coincidence, it's just a coincidence."

Yu Feibai finally found a chance to speak, and hurriedly smiled and said: "The main thing is that Chongming himself has this kind of thought, otherwise no matter how much touch it is, it won't work." ”

"That's right, Master."

At the same time, Lu Chongming quietly asked Wang Guan for the brocade box, then took out the stone ball, carefully placed it on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Look at this, it is the opportunity for me to wake up." ”

"When I saw this thing, I suddenly understood why you often say that if the work has no spirituality, then even if the thing is carved finely, it is still bionic and simulated, just the work of craftsmen, not the craftsmanship of masters."

Lu Chongming smiled bitterly: "Now I understand, even if this thing is from my hand, but the idea is someone else's inspiration, he just borrowed my hand to complete the work." To put it bluntly, I'm just a cutter. ”

"Not as good as you say." Wang Guan said humbly: "It's accidental, a flash of inspiration ......"
