"Don't you think it's strange?" Seeing Wu Chen's relaxed face, Liu Lao was not at all surprised as he had expected.

What's so strange about that? Wu Chen scratched the back of his head to hide his wandering.

"You can't teach a child!" Liu Lao shook his head, he really wanted to make this kid angry! "Light is supposed to be a radiation! However, the light emitted by this bead cannot be detected by any radiation, and it cannot even be decomposed into a spectrum, don't you say strange?! ”

"Uh, that's weird!" Wu Chen replied with a look of dementia, and he had been with Liu Lao for a long time, and the IQ and EQ of both of them had a tendency to drop sharply to the level of children.

At this moment, he really didn't go to his heart, as long as he made sure that it was low-carbon, green and radiation-free, when he thought of Huang Xiaolin's smile like a flower, his heart was beautiful! Where can I still control Liu Lao's "mention".

However, soon he felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Master? Are you back in Beijing? ”

"Hmm!" Liu Lao nodded, for this bead, he went back, invited the museum director Ouyang and the top jewelry expert Mrs. Lin to study for a few days, this is the current domestic master, and Liu Lao's best friend, the final conclusion is almost unanimous that this is with the pearl re-emerged!

"I'm so sorry for you!" Wu Chen is really grateful, at Liu Lao's age, it is advisable to be quiet and not to move, so he went back to the capital, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter! Although it was a military plane, it was enough to choke back and forth. "I'll pinch it for you."

"That's it!" Liu Lao is not polite at all, and he has a lot of credit! waved his hand and hit Wu Chen by the way: "Don't pinch it, just your three or two hands, I don't feel it!" Alas, don't look at my age, I still slap you all over the ground to find your teeth, do you believe it or not? ”

"Can I not believe it?" Wu Chen glared at the triumphant Liu Lao, can we not be so barbaric, where is this like an old man who has been a feudal official and a central leader, completely in the habit of a bandit, do you really think that you have returned to the pre-liberation period?

"Just believe it! It doesn't matter if you don't want to learn these five poultry plays, learn more from Xiao Tie when you have time, don't be beaten outside, and come back crying! Liu Lao smiled, "By the way, Xiao Kong's one is not bad, you guys mix together all day long, be humble, and ask others for advice." ”

"Got it!" The more Wu Chen listened, the more unpleasant he became, this was training preschool children! Kong Si, that **** guy, how can you compare? I seem to have learned, and every day I let myself stand on the stake at night, and I am almost depressed to death.

"Master, let's get down to business!"

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!

Wu Chen felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, once an ancient treasure like Hou Zhu came out, it was conceivable how much of a sensation it would cause. And behind this sensation, how many undercurrents and various forces will be hidden, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist it.

Liu Lao will not understand this truth, how can he show it! Isn't it a donation for yourself? This kind of treasure is naturally placed in the Palace Museum, collected in the name of the country, even if someone covets it, it has to be weighed!

The more he thought about it, the more unreliable he felt, and looked at Liu Lao with blank eyes, this is a gift that has been given to your apprentice-in-law, should you ask your beloved apprentice to go back and kneel on the keyboard, right?

"Look at you!" Liu Lao waved his hand coaxingly, this time he did not make decisions for Wu Chen and "contributed to the country".

As for secrecy, he naturally understands the powerful relationship between this, the people invited are all at the level of a master, and they are also close friends who can live and die, so there is no need to worry that this news will leak out.

But having said that, how to keep it properly for Wu Chen is a big problem, and Liu Lao naturally wants to give it advice. The master and apprentice thought of one thing.

Wu Chen listened to Liu Lao's words, and his heart was determined, as long as he didn't donate it!

"If you always like it, let's play with you first." Wu Chen saw that Liu Lao was a little reluctant to give up on this Suihou Zhu, and it was rare for the old man to have rare objects, so he made the decision for Huang Xiaolin.

Speaking of which, in addition to this one, Kong Si also has an ancient artifact - Tai'a Ancient Sword, and I don't know how he hid it, it seems that he hasn't seen it since he came down from Phoenix Mountain, this guy shouldn't have lost it, right?

"Hmm." Liu Lao was not polite, and nodded, there are still too many unsolved points in this Suihou Zhu, and he wants to study it slowly.

After packing up and turning on the lights again, Wu Chen remembered the main purpose of today's visit, and asked Liu Lao if he knew a better jade carving master? It's best to be able to hire it, Zhongfu Jewelry lacks such a town figure.

Liu Lao has long known about the fact that several of their boys have partnered to open Zhongfu Jewelry, and Wu Chen also asked him to inscribe the plaque, his own master does not need to use it in vain, Tianxingju, Gegu Zhai, Zhongfu Jewelry, but they are all using Liu Lao's words!

Speaking of carving masters, Liu Lao knows some people, but most of these people are similar in age to him, even if they are slightly younger, they all have Tian Lao's age, and those who are famous and have a family and a business will not come out to do things again. What's more, most of the masters who are good friends with him are from the northern faction, and they let the family abandon their families and run to this Guangfu, and they don't know if they can adapt to it. Although if he comes forward, the other party will still sell his face, but at this age, Liu Lao doesn't want to force others.

"We don't need to find a master, even if we are apprentices, as long as the skills are passable and the character is okay." Wu Chen also knew this truth, but talent was rare, and he didn't have any resources, so he said: "It's inconvenient for people from the north to come over, so let's find people from the south." ”

Carving work is an important basis for jade identification, Wu Chen naturally must learn, although the craft has not been practiced at all, but the characteristics of various factions and famous teachers in the industry, can be remembered not old and young, these are the basic skills, if a person is not even clear about the common master carving techniques, but claims to be a jade identification expert, I am afraid that I will laugh to death.

China's jade technology has a long history, about 600,000 years ago, the "Beijing people", has been able to use crystal, agate serpentine, etc., to make flake paleolithic, and then later, the jade process is gradually separated from the stone-making process, and the jade handicraft industry has also begun to sprout slowly.

6,000 years ago, with the advent of primitive stone machines, jade had drilling, hollowing and pondering processes, and jade production gradually entered a mature stage. Obvious craftsmanship began to appear, that is, the so-called "characteristics of the times" in the identification of ancient jade, such as the Xia Dynasty jade tools with bronze stones, the jade body is thinly decorated with fine Yin line geometric patterns, the Shang Dynasty mostly used Yin lines to outline, the Western Zhou Dynasty was mostly flattened, the carving is simple, and the steel strength is strong.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, jade was known for its concealment technique, and it was sharp, which was related to the widespread use of iron and the more skilled operation of jade. Qin and Han jade craftsmen often use the technique of abandoning details and matching thick lines with steel and softness to carve charm and momentum.

From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Song and Liao Jins, the emergence and promotion of jade Gaodeng played a role in promoting the production of jade, so that the jade carving skills since then have been grinding vigorously and ethereal and clear. The jade workmanship of the Yuan Dynasty gradually became rougher; The early work of the Ming Dynasty was rigorous and exquisite, and the late tire was heavy and sloppy; The Qing Dynasty was meticulously crafted and the form was strict.

It can be said that China's jade carving technology, after thousands of years of continuous exploration and accumulation, has formed a complete evolutionary chain, and over time, in Beijing, Yangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangfu, Nanjing and other places, has formed a unique local faction, generally speaking, there are "North School", "Yang School", "Shanghai School" and "South School" and other four major schools.

On closer inspection, each genre has its own distinctive characteristics and representatives.

"Northern School" refers to the carving style formed by the master of jade carving craft in Beijing, Tianjin and Liao, which is solemn and generous, simple and elegant. The "four monsters and one demon" in the capital are the most outstanding. Among them, there are Pan Bingheng, who is famous for carving group portraits of people and thin tire technology, Liu Deying, who is famous for three-dimensional round carving flowers, He Rong, who is famous for round carving gods and Buddhas, and ladies, Wang Shusen, who is admired for the elegant and delicate spirit of "flower pieces" jade pieces, and Zhang Yunhe, who is "bird Zhang".

"Yangpai" generally refers to the unique craftsmanship of jade carving in the south of the Yangtze River such as Suzhou, Yanghang, etc., paying attention to the rules, exquisite craftsmanship, and elegant and beautiful shapes, especially the most distinctive Shanzi carving, the most powerful carving master Lu Zigang in history belongs to this school.

"Shanghai School" appeared relatively late, at the beginning of the last century, with the influx of a large number of talents, and gradually formed a specific style in Shanghai's specific cultural atmosphere, characterized by the delicacy of utensils (mainly imitation bronzes) and the vivid and expressive shapes of figures and animals, with delicate carving, rigorous modeling, solemn and ancient. Representative figures include "Furnace Bottle King" Sun Tianyi, Zhou Shouhai, "Three Uniques" Wei Zhengrong, "Nanyu One Monster" Liu Jisong and so on.

Finally, it is mainly the "Southern School" in Nanyue and Fuhai, due to the long-term influence of bamboo and wood ivory carving technology and Southeast Asian culture, it is also unique in the carving of hollow carving, multi-layer jade balls and high-end jade jewelry, with plump shapes, echoing and expressive, and exquisite craftsmanship.

Each school has its own characteristics, but there is no distinction between high and low, so the first thing Wu Chen thought of was the local southern school, which was convenient and convenient, and there was no need to travel long distances.

This idea is good, but Liu Lao thought for a while, but he recommended a candidate for him, called Gu Tiande, who is the current leader of the Yang faction. The old man is old, and he can't do it himself, maybe he can be named, and he has many apprentices and grandchildren, so it is not impossible to ask him to help choose a reliable one to preside over it.

When Wu Chen heard this, he was overjoyed, although he was not very familiar with this line, but he had also heard of the ancient name, to put it mildly, in the ears of these laymen, the ancient name was much bigger than Liu Lao. Regardless of whether people can get it or not, it is the ancient only name as the honorary consultant of Zhongfu Jewelry, which is definitely a big help for Zhongfu Jewelry!

Besides, since Liu Lao is willing to recommend, it shows that the relationship between the two must be extremely deep, and the old man will not refute Liu Lao's face too much.

"Master, thank you." In a good mood, Wu Chen naturally flattered Liu Lao in every possible way, pinched his feet, and beat his legs, and made an appointment to turn around and Liu Lao first to say hello to the ancient, and Wu Chen personally went to Yangzhou to visit.
