Chapter 555: Old Man of the Stubborn Stone

PS: There are only two more today, sort out your thoughts, forgive me, please continue to support and ask for a monthly pass.

"Form?

At this time, under the reminder of Qian Lao, Yu Feibai slowly calmed down, and turned to carefully look at the appearance of the bloodstone, only to see that the volume of the stone was quite large, in the shape of a cube. He took advantage of the situation and estimated it, and found that the cube was about eight centimeters high, and the bottom surface was square, which should be ten centimeters by ten centimeters......

"No need to compare."

Qian Lao smiled and said: "If I am not mistaken, this stone is calculated according to the ancient method, the height is two inches and four minutes, and the length and width of the face are three inches and six minutes. However, considering that it may take some money when carving, it should be left a little longer. ”

When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately reacted and hesitated: "Old Qian, you mean, this thing is used for engraving?" ”

"It's not a seal, it's a seal!"

Qian Lao smiled: "This is the specification of the palace treasure seal. ”

"People often say jade seals, but I didn't expect that someone was ready to take the best red robe to make a seal, it's really ingenious." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "It is estimated that the emperor himself is not very willing, so he found this precious material and cut the general shape, but did not use the knife." ”

"Good stuff."

At this time, Qian Lao took the bloodstone in Yu Feibai's hand and watched it carefully. After half a ring, he suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Wang Guan, don't you also want to get a set of private seals?" With such a large piece of stone, it would be too wasteful to engrave only one seal, so it is better to cut a few pieces, which is enough for you to integrate the overprint. ”

"That's it, that's it."

Yu Feibai thought so: "The bloodstone red robe the size of people's thumbs has become a treasure after it is engraved into a seal." You have such a large piece of material, how can you divide it into three or five square seals. ”

While speaking, Yu Feibai hurriedly turned around and said, "By the way, Old Qian, you said some time ago that you wanted to introduce me to a seal carving master." It's been a few days since there was no movement, when are you going to keep your promise? ”

"Hehe, I forgot if you didn't mention it."

At the right time, Qian Lao chuckled and said, "That's okay, I'll go tomorrow." Take this superb red robe, maybe he will be happy to see the hunt and personally help you carve it. ”

"Really?" Yu Feibai was very happy.

"Hmm." Qian Lao groaned, pointed to the bloodstone and said, "At least this piece of ...... will be engraved."

"Cut!"

Yu Feibai was disappointed and muttered in a low voice: "Actually, my Tian Huangshi is not bad. "Of course, when saying this. He was also a little weak-hearted, and his confidence was obviously insufficient, otherwise he would have shouted loudly.

Therefore, Qian Lao pretended not to hear it, and continued to enjoy all kinds of treasures until the dead of night, and then went back to the room to rest.

After a night without words, the next morning, Qian Lao took Wang Guan and Yu Feibai to visit his old friends. But the place where this man lives is not far away, and it is not close to it. It is in Huairou, the far suburb of the capital. And it is not in the urban area, but near Yanqi Lake at the foot of Yan Mountain, which can be described as a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Came to Yanqi Lake and detoured for a while. I saw a very simple house. With white walls and gray tiles, a few quaint old trees are planted in the courtyard, although there are very few branches and leaves, but they have a special interest.

Several people got out of the car. Yu Feibai walked up and was about to knock on the door, but found that the courtyard door was unlocked. After glancing at it, he turned around and said, "Old Qian." The car was parked in the courtyard, and it seemed that a guest had arrived. ”

"He has a more bold temperament, and likes to make friends, even if he lives in seclusion here, he is not willing to be lonely, often invite friends to come over to chat and drink tea, or go fishing by the lake, and it is not strange to have guests there."

Qian Lao smiled disapprovingly, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go in directly." ”

While talking, Qian Lao didn't say hello, and directly pushed the door in. From this, it can be seen that he has a deep friendship with the owner here, otherwise he would not be so casual.

At this time, Wang Guan followed into the courtyard gate, and after walking more than ten steps, he could see the main hall gate. At the same time, without being reminded by others, he saw a plaque hanging above the hall door. The plaque is also very simple, almost as simple as a frame, just a wooden frame with a blank sheet of paper glued to it.

Wang Guan looked carefully and found that the plaque may have only been hung for a short time, not to mention that the white paper is very new, even the big characters on the paper are also dripping with ink, as if they have not been able to dry for a long time.

"Boulder!" Wang Guan read it out gently, and did not say how the law of the big characters was, judging from the stretched and unrestrained form of the strokes, it was quite a bit of Zhang Xu's calligraphy. Well, to put it bluntly, it's scribble. However, people are obviously writing cursive, and scribbling is a very normal situation, and there is no charm if it is not cursive.

"The boulder is his number." Qian Lao explained: "Thirty years ago, he was a stubborn stone layman, and now he is a stubborn stone old man. ”

Wang Guan nodded slightly, and from the inscription of the plaque, he knew the real name of the old man of the stubborn stone, surnamed Wu, Wu Changshuo's Wu.

"Brother Wu, are you at home?"

At this time, several people walked to the door of the hall, and they could vaguely hear bursts of laughter and laughter coming from the hall. Qian Lao's footsteps immediately stopped, and he laughed loudly: "There is a wicked guest who comes to the door uninvited." ”

For a moment, the voice in the hall fell silent, and then someone opened the curtain and came out to inspect the situation.

"Who?"

The person who came out was about forty years old, and he had a bit of an elegant temperament, and when he heard the uninvited words of the evil guest coming to the door, he was a little puzzled in his heart, and even frowned slightly.

However, as soon as he walked out and saw Qian Lao, the man's brows immediately relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "It turns out that Qian Lao is here, please come in quickly." ”

"Less, come to visit the teacher again?" Qian Lao said with a smile, and then under the invitation of the middle-aged man, he walked lightly into the hall.

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai naturally accompanied them in, and saw that the living room was very elegantly furnished, and most of the furniture such as tables and chairs were made of bamboo and rattan, which was durable, cool and environmentally friendly.

Of course, tables and chairs can be ignored, but the people on the chairs can't be ignored. At this moment, there was a large bamboo and rattan chair, and an old man was sitting there, with his head already on his head, leaving only two temples and a little pale hair on the back of his head.

Although the image is not very good-looking, the old man did not mean to cover it with a hat, and showed it generously. He had a wrinkled face and looked old, but his eyes were bright. There was a cane in front of him, his slender but calloused hands resting on the head of the cane, and his straight waist was not leaning against the back of the chair at all, like an ageless pine that had survived the wind and rain but was still strong.

"Where did I say the villain, it turned out to be you."

At the right time, the old man stood up on crutches and said with a smile: "You are not enjoying the life of a prince and minister in the capital, how can you have time to run to the poor countryside to wander around?" ”

"Brother Wu, Huairou is not a poor country." Qian Lao smiled: "And your stubborn stone residence is even more famous as an immortal, so it's not strange that I came to visit." ”

"Admired?" The old man's eyes rolled, and he immediately smiled: "I said, you can't afford to be early, you can't afford to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you must have something to ask me to come to the door." ”

"Brother said so, then I'll go back." Qian Lao smiled and said, "I originally got a few good stones, and I want you to appreciate and play with them......"

Instantly, without waiting for Qian Lao to finish speaking, the old man unceremoniously stretched out his hand and said, "In this case, don't talk nonsense, bring something." ”

"Don't drive me away?" Qian Lao chuckled.

"Whoever chases you away, feet grow on you, you don't want to go, who can drive you."

Of course, it is common for good friends to visit and joke, but the old man can't really be lazy, and at the same time, he also turned his head and said: "Get water, go make a pot of tea again." ”

"Okay." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, lifted the teapot on the table and walked out.

"The surname is Yu, the name is in the water, like a fish in the water, the name is good."

Wang Guan thought secretly in his heart, but saw Yu Feibai pulling his clothes, and whispered: "I know that this person is also one of the famous seal carvers in the capital. It seems that Qian Lao is right, not only are they masters, but even their apprentices are masters. ”

"It's good to know, Mr. Qian called us, hurry over to see the ceremony." Wang Guan reminded softly, and hurriedly greeted Yu Feibai respectfully.

"Brother Wu, these are my two juniors."

Qian Lao introduced it, and then said with a smile: "The stones you appreciate are their things." ”

"Yes." The old man said with interest: "Declare in advance, if the things are not good, even if the two of you are juniors, I will directly scold people." ”

"Old Wu, don't worry." Yu Feibai was not restrained, and said with a smile: "If you think it's not good, you don't need to do it, just shake your head, and I'll throw it out myself." ”

"So confident?" Wu Lao said with a smile on his face: "Be careful not to flash your tongue, you can only do it if you say it." ”

"I'm sure I can do it, I'm afraid you can't say it well." Yu Feibai said with a smile, he also knew a little about Wu Lao's character from Qian Lao, and he could say whatever he wanted, and he was not afraid of offending him.

In fact, such a performance was more in line with Wu Lao's temperament, which made the smile on his face even stronger.

"Just talk and don't practice, that's a mouthpiece." Wu Laoshuang smiled and said: "If you want me to see something, show it quickly, as for whether it's really good or fake, I'm an old person, so I won't go against my will to fool you, a little boy." ”

"That's good, the thing is here, please appreciate it slowly."

Yu Feibai smiled and put the box in his hand on the coffee table, he didn't dare to let Wang Guan come first. Otherwise, Wu Lao first saw the best big red robe, and he would definitely not be interested in paying attention to his Changhua Tian Huangshi.

"Qian Lao drinks tea, and there are two little brothers......"

At this time, Yu Deshui came back from making a pot of new tea, and after pouring a cup of hot tea for everyone, he watched Wu Lao open the box with some interest. At this moment, he saw a bright yellow color, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but guess: "Tian Huang? ”

Seven pieces of Tian Huangshi of different sizes were quietly placed in the box, and Wu Lao glanced at it, and his face was a little happy. However, after picking up a stone and looking at it, his joy faded a little, and then he pushed the box in front of Yu Deshui, and said casually: "Nuo, your business is here, take it back and carve it."
