Chapter 463: Carved Peach-style Jade Cup

"I'm not Sherlock Holmes, I don't have a head or a brain, how can I guess what your friend's last name is!" Wang Guan felt that he was going to be speechless, shook his head and said, "You overestimate me too much." ”

"I know you can do it."

Yu Feibai smiled and said: "He is a jade carver, and the person he admires the most in his life is his fellow ......."

"Jade carving, the same clan and fellow countryman?"

Wang Guan groaned and said thoughtfully: "Suzhou Taicang people...... The ancestor of the jade carving world, Lu Zigang! ”

"Hehe, didn't you guess that?"

Yu Feibai smiled and said: "That's right, he is surnamed Lu, according to his own research, he is the eighty-seventh generation descendant of Lu Zigang." So the mantra is to inherit the skills of the ancestors and revitalize the prestige of the Lu family! Very interesting guy, it's a little late today, I'll take you to visit him tomorrow. ”

"Okay." Wang Guan smiled: "Just ask him to help carve my Chang fossils." ”

"That's definitely not a problem."

Yu Feibai nodded and said: "I have already said before, he is a provincial master of arts and crafts, and his carved works have won the national level Tiangong Gold Award." It's just that due to lack of qualifications, it can't pass the review of national masters. But the real carving strength has reached that level. ”

"How did you meet?" Wang Guan asked curiously.

"Two years ago, I went to Yangzhou to pick jade, and I happened to choose the same piece of wool as him." Yu Feibai smiled and said: "At that time, the wool boss asked us to make a price, saying that the one with the highest price would win." We are smart people, how could we be fooled like this, anyway, the jade wool is relatively large, so we simply joined forces and bought the wool together. ”

"After that, we got to know each other, and we felt very close to each other when we chatted, and we became friends when we kept in touch from time to time."

Yu Feibai smiled: "In the past two years. I bought a lot of jade, and I asked him to help carve it into finished products. There is absolutely nothing to say about his carving skills, which belong to the highest level. ”

"It's rare for you to admire someone so much." Wang Guan smiled: "You must see it." ”

"See you."

Yu Feibai suddenly smiled and said, "However, tomorrow we will go to Taicang, don't you plan to report to your girlfriend?" ”

"Get out!"

Wang Guan opened the door and got out of the car to stay.

Nothing to say all night, after breakfast the next day. The two continued to drive on the road. Head in the direction of Taicang. On the road, Yu Feibai was concentrating on driving, but Wang Guan took out his mobile phone next to him and was messing with something.

"Why, I haven't given up researching yet." Yu Feibai glanced at it and found that Wang Guan was looking at the picture of the fan, and immediately shook his head and said: "A few days ago, you taught me not to drill the horns, and in the end, you are the same." ”

"Boring, just take a look." Wang Guan said casually and expanded the picture. Check out the details.

"Then you take your time."

After so many days, Yu Feibai no longer had hope, or he liked the new and hated the old, and was no longer interested in the fan, so he was a little less motivated, and he was galloping along the way. Soon arrived in Taicang.

Although Taicang is a place under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, the degree of wealth and prosperity is not inferior to that of the urban area. In other words, in the Yangtze River Delta, there should be no poverty-stricken counties and cities in the real sense.

After the car drove into the city, I saw that the road was full of vehicles, the sidewalks on both sides were full of pedestrians, and there were many shops. It's a completely bustling, lively scene.

However, when the car arrived in the downtown area, Yu Feibai did not stop. Instead, I drove straight over and came to a relatively remote place on the outskirts of the city.

Wang Guan looked through the car window and found that this place was not only remote, but also had a lot of flowers and trees, which seemed to be elegant and quiet, and even the melodious cries of kingfishers could be heard.

"It's a place like this, it doesn't look like a residential area." Wang Guan sounded curiously.

"His studio." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "You don't know how big the movement of carving jade is, you definitely can't be near the downtown or residential area, otherwise you should be stoned." However, it is very strange that the jade master himself is noisy, but he wants others to keep quiet, so the studio is generally set up in a secluded place. ”

"Oh."

Wang Guan was stunned, and the car slowly stopped after a while. Under Yu Feibai's greeting, he got out of the car and looked up, only to see that there was a compound villa in front of him, a bit of European style.

"This is it."

Yu Feibai smiled and immediately went up to ring the doorbell.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the room, as if no one was inside.

"Hey, I guess I'm sleeping again."

Yu Feibai shook his head helplessly, then took out his mobile phone and dialed. Originally, according to his prediction, the phone must have been ringing for a long time, and it may take several calls in a row to wake up the person who is lazy.

However, Yu Feibai did not expect that as soon as the phone was dialed, the other party answered.

"Little White ......"

As soon as the phone was called, the other party's ridiculous voice came from the mobile phone: "It's rare, you actually took the initiative to call me, what good jade material did you find?" ”

"Xiao Ming, I'm here, come down to pick up the guests." Yu Feibai shouted with a smile: "You guessed it, I brought something good." Hurry up, come down and open the door. ”

"Ah...... Are you coming to Taicang? ”

The other party was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and then hurriedly said, "Where are you now?" I'm not at home......"

"I knew you weren't at home, so I came straight to your studio." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "You can see me when you open the window." ”

“…… I can't see you even if I open the window. The other party smiled bitterly: "I'm not in the studio either." ”

"What? You said wow. Yu Feibai frowned and complained: "Don't tell me that you have gone far away and are not in Taicang." I've come here with something good to surprise you. ”

"You should have said hello in advance." The other party was also quite helpless: "I'm here in the Qian family ancestral hall now, helping people look at something." Wait a minute, I'll be back right away. ”

"Wait, Qian Family Ancestral Hall?" Yu Feibai hurriedly said: "I remember you once said that the antique market in Taicang is in the Qian family ancestral hall, what are you looking at there?" ”

"A boss found a carved jade cup, suspected that it was the work of He Si, a master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty, and invited me to come and take a look." The other party also understood Yu Feibai's interests and hobbies, and suddenly smiled: "If you want to see it." Come on. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Yu Feibai hung up the phone, and immediately turned around and said with great interest: "Let's go, go to the Qian family ancestral hall." ”

Wang Guan also listened to a few words next to him, and roughly knew what was going on, of course he had no opinion. At that moment, the two got into the car and turned back. Then according to the navigation, I came to the antique market in Taicang.

After coming. Wang Guan looked at it casually and felt that the market was not large, mainly dealing in ceramics, jade, calligraphy and painting, study, miscellaneous items and other things, and the business was relatively deserted, and not many people patronized.

"Fucheng Jade Shop...... This is it. Yu Feibai observed left and right for a while, and immediately discovered the destination.

Wang Guan took a look and found that the so-called jade shop was actually a shop of more than 20 square meters. However, Wang Guan did not take it lightly. After all, the store is not about the size, but on the ability of the store owner. is like Uncle Song Youdao, whose strength is extraordinary. Maybe this jade shop owner is also the character of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

"Gone!"

After parking the car, Yu Feibai immediately opened the door and beckoned Wang Guan to enter the store.

"Is anyone there?"

After entering the door, Yu Feibai called out. Through the beaded curtains, it was discovered that there was also a tea room separated by clear glass. At this moment, the figure in the tea room swayed, and a man with long hair, tied into a ponytail, and a thick beard on his upper lip and chin, full of mature smell, walked out.

"Flying White!"

As soon as the man came out, he immediately greeted Yu Feibai with a smile on his face. There was a warm hug.

"Long time no see......"

After a while, Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Come and get to know Wang Guan and Lu Chongming." ”

"Hello!"

Wang Guan greeted with a smile. Lu Chongming also responded in a friendly manner.

At this moment, the shopkeeper walked out of the tea room, his figure was a little thin, and he had a bright smile on his face: "Teacher Lu, your friend is here, please come in and drink tea." ”

"Okay." Lu Chongming nodded, and introduced with a chuckle: "This is Boss Sun, who has a wide range of contacts, vast magical powers, and often finds good treasures, and is our leading collector in Taicang." ”

"Mr. Lu has won the award." Boss Sun smiled and said, "It's all taken care of by friends, and friends take care of it." Besides, compared to Mr. Lu's achievements, it is simply not worth mentioning. ”

"Where, Where, ......"

In the politeness, everyone walked into the elegant tea room, and then after some pushing, they sat down relatively. Then it was Boss Sun who poured tea and entertained guests. Tea is naturally a good tea, produced in the spring of Biluo from Taihu Lake, I heard that it is tea before the rain, the buds are tender and green, curly like a snail, the taste is very fresh and thorough, very refreshing.

However, when tasting tea, Wang Guan's attention was not on the tea, but on a curiously shaped cup resting in the middle of the table. I saw that the jade material of the cup was lake green, and there was brown in some parts. The shape of the whole cup is like a peach cut in half and then cut into half of it.

The inside of the cup is hollowed out and can be used to hold wine, and one side of the glass is carved and patterned to form the texture of the branches and leaves of the peach, and the handle of the cup is naturally formed. Overall, this is a carved peach-style jade cup, and in ancient times, peaches meant longevity. Generally, to celebrate the birthday of the elderly, you have to get a few birthday peaches to meet the occasion. Therefore, the use of this peach-style cup is also a beautiful meaning.

"It's pretty good."

At this time, Yu Feibai looked at it for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "I heard that it is the work of He Si, a master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Hehe, there's this on it." Boss Sun said with a smile: "As for whether it is an imitation or a genuine product, I still need Mr. Lu's help to identify it." ”

"Where's the money?"

Wang Guan was also a little curious, and after obtaining Boss Sun's consent, he carefully picked up the peach-style jade cup and watched it.

"Right here!"

At the right time, Lu Chongming pointed to the bottom of the handle of the jade cup and signaled: "A congratulatory word is engraved." (To be continued)
