"Come, everyone upstairs, please."

At this time, under the invitation of Boss Hu, everyone went up from the store to the living room on the second floor. The décor of the living room is very elegant, with a classical bias, showing the owner's taste tendency.

"You're welcome, just sit down."

Under the greeting of Boss Hu, the three of them naturally sat down, but after a few seconds, they stood up again. Because Boss Hu's wife and children came out, they must be introduced.

The child was a little shy because he was not very old, so he went back to the room to play after saying a few words. However, Boss Hu's wife is also very neat, and she also knows Song Youdao, so she greeted him generously. After learning that Lu Chongming was the jade carver who provided the supply, he was even more polite.

"You go cook, I'll just say hello." Boss Hu said softly, and his wife also nodded lightly and left. That's how the so-called virtuous helper is, and he won't lose face to his husband at a critical moment.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so grand, just stir-fry a few plates of wine and food." At the same time, Song Youdao smiled and said: "If you have wine, everything is enough, and everything else doesn't matter." ”

It seems to be an unkind sentence, but it is actually really polite. Boss Hu's wife also smiled and agreed, but she also knew how to treat guests.

"Don't worry about it, how to do it, she will take care of it." Boss Hu smiled: "Let's go, let's go to the study to talk, it's quieter there......"

Boss Hu's study is on the third floor, and it is at the back of the house. In front of the house is a lively street, but in the back is a quieter residential area. The study is near the window, and you can see a community green garden, which is relatively elegant. At this time, the sun is shining, and you can still hear the sound of birds chirping in the garden, which is really not bad.

However, it is said that it is a study. There are not many books here, but there are many jade ornaments on the shelves.

These jade ornaments come in a variety of shapes, ranging from pure white jade to turquoise green jade, to pitch-black black jade, and chalcedony of various colors. No matter what the color is, but after the careful carving of the master craftsmen, it is full of manners and exudes an unusual charm.

"Huh."

At this time, Lu Chongming was surprised: "Boss Hu." Isn't that my work from three years ago, and you still keep it? ”

Wang Guan took the opportunity to look at it, and saw that Lu Chongming was talking about a jade horse ornament. I won't say much about the shape of things, you can refer to the horse stepping on the Feiyan, one hoof landing, three hooves volleying, full of lifelike tension.

As long as there is a little appreciation, you can see that the carving of this jade horse is very exquisite. Focusing on one point of the whole thing, there is no thick skill. And the grasp of ingenuity, that is a very difficult thing to do.

"It's so good, I like it so much that I can't help it. I had to hide my secrets. Boss Hu explained, his tone was very sincere, but it was the best praise for Lu Chongming.

You must know that Boss Hu makes a living by dealing in jade, and the most taboo should be to hide his smuggling. After all, it doesn't sell anything. It's time for him to drink the northwest wind. But he kept the thing carved by Lu Chongming and didn't sell it, so he knew that he really liked this thing. On the other hand, it also proves the exquisiteness of Lu Chongming's craftsmanship. Let Boss Hu not give up.

In this regard, Lu Chongming didn't say anything on the surface, and he must be very happy in his heart.

"It's a rare good thing."

At this time, Song Youdao watched for a moment, and also agreed and smiled: "Especially when the horse is galloping, the feeling of muscle tension is very expressive......

"No, no, it's still far off." Lu Chongming shook his head and said, not modestly, but stating the facts: "It's too jerky, if I am asked to carve now, the focus should not be on the muscles, but on the horse's ears, eyes, and mane, or the fluttering ......of the horse's tail."

Lu Chongming counted them in detail and actually found a lot of faults.

However, after listening to this, everyone really felt that Lu Chongming had really improved. People are like this, and when they can review their previous gains and losses, it is a clear proof of progress.

After some comments, Lu Chongming shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the thing has been finalized, and it is impossible to modify it again, otherwise it will look nondescript, but it will destroy the overall momentum." ”

"That's good." Boss Hu hurriedly said: "If Brother Lu thinks it can't be done, I still have a piece of good quality white jade on hand, and I can carve another one for you." ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed lightly, Boss Hu is beating snakes with sticks, and it is Sima Zhao's heart, which is known to passers-by.

"Okay."

Lu Chongming groaned, and actually agreed: "But I need to wait for another half a year, and after half a year, my studio will reopen, and the first business will be handed over to Boss Hu." ”

"It's a deal."

Boss Hu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly finalized it. When chatting, he already knew that Lu Chongming was now following the national-level jade carving master to cultivate, and dared to set the date in half a year, which showed that Lu Chongming was sure to break through his limits and reach new heights during this time.

Lu Chongming is now a provincial-level craft master, and after going to the next level, no matter how poor he is, he is infinitely close to the national level of craftsmanship master. At that time, the quality of the things will not be as good as at the beginning.

How could Boss Hu miss such an opportunity, after all, no matter how you look at it, he will not suffer.

"It's decided, I'll call you then, otherwise you can go to Taicang to find me." Lu Chongming said with a smile, he could have graduated from the school now, but considering that the foundation was not solid, he wanted to hone for half a year. Now Lu Chongming finally understands the importance of the foundation, but is not in a hurry to make money.

"Just have your words, I will definitely visit in person then......" Boss Hu smiled lovely, and invited everyone to sit down next to him, and boiled water to make tea by the way.

Next to the coffee table, there are a few books, judging from the wrinkled marks, it seems that they are often flipped. Wang Guan's gaze also paused, and naturally glanced at the titles of the books, and found that they were all jade books. However, these are not modern new textbooks, but ancient books, jade series compiled by the ancients.

Speaking of which, the ancients' perception of jade often had some subjectivity and many legends. But when you read it, it's really flavorful, and it's more readable than a modern dry instruction manual.

"Lao Hu, your taste is much higher."

At the same time, Song Youdao also saw the books on the desktop, picked them up and flipped through them, and suddenly smiled: "What kind of stimulation has I received recently, and I actually started to gnaw on classical Chinese?" ”

Strictly speaking, Song Youdao's words are a bit exaggerated, these ancient books have not yet reached the level of classical Chinese, but the way of writing is indeed a little dyslexic for modern people. Under normal circumstances, there is no special reason, and most people choose to read the vernacular version, or the version with translation, and rarely directly look at the pure ancient books.

However, Song Youdao can see clearly that these ancient books are real ancient books, not copies, and naturally there is no translation. Even people like him, who was born in Xiling Seal Society, feel that this book is obscure, let alone Boss Hu.

As a person who knows the roots, Song Youdao understands the level of Boss Hu, and may have a hand in identifying jade, most of which rely on practical experience, but he lacks knowledge and theory. Could it be that they realized this, so they were ashamed and moved forward, and tried to make up for it? If that's the case, then it's gratifying.

"Laughing at me again."

At this time, Boss Hu was a little embarrassed, but he still explained: "You guessed it, I was really stimulated." Didn't you come to visit the treasure exhibition, and among those treasures, there are many legends to hear. ”

"In the past, I thought the legend was not credible, but now I know that the legend is also very reliable. So I found these ancient books to read, so as not to encounter them when the time came, but I didn't know the gold and jade, so I directly ignored the past. ”

Speaking of this, Boss Hu looked very touched: "And don't say it, after reading these ancient books, I found that the ability of the ancestors is really not boastful, ingenious and ingenious...... It's a pity that the thing is lost, and it can't let everyone appreciate the subtlety. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Song Youdao praised: "It's really three days, you should be impressed, these books are not read in vain." ”

"Laugh, laugh."

At the right time, Boss Hu beckoned: "Come, everyone drink tea." ”

"There is a ...... to work"

Song Youdao raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and also opened the ancient books casually and browsed them. And it was very coincidental that he turned to the introduction of the Jade Saint Lu Zigang.

After a little glance, Song Youdao was thoughtful and curious: "Brother Lu, the book says that Lu Zigang, the ancestor of the jade carving world, is from Taicang, and you are also from Taicang, so it shouldn't matter what, right?" ”

"Haha, I don't know." Boss Hu immediately smiled and said: "Brother Lu is a descendant of Lu Zigang, and now he is inheriting the ancestral business, and sooner or later he will be able to come out of the blue and be better than the blue." ”

"Boss Hu, don't hold me too high." Lu Chongming hurriedly waved his hand and said: "In the past, I was shallow and ignorant, and I insisted on having a relationship with Master Zu, but in fact it was not a family, and it was really difficult to find out." ”

"With the same surname, the same clan and the same township, it must have been the same family five hundred years ago." Boss Hu smiled, it was not unreasonable. After all, the ancients did not change their surnames easily, and clans liked to live in groups, even if they were not a family, they were also members of the same clan.

"Yes."

At this time, Wang Guan next to him also smiled: "You didn't discredit your ancestors, what dare you not recognize." ”

"Okay, okay, it's a family."

Lu Chongming smiled bitterly and said casually: "And it's not a random relative, after all, at the foot of the back mountain in our village, there is indeed a dragon monument, which is said to be something left by the ancestor......

"Dragon Monument!"

For a moment, the other three were interested: "What's that?" ”

"It's not anything, it's just a stele-shaped stone." Lu Chongming said with a smile: "The stone is engraved with a simple dragon pattern, but it is not complete. Legend in the village says that it is the ...... of the ancestral master's painting" (to be continued......
