"They all ruined the ...... with their masters," Zhang Haifeng said faintly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It turned out that the owners of the two jade pendants had died due to accidents, one of them was a plane crash, and the other was shipwrecked, and it was impossible for the two jade pendants to remain intact.
Ni Wenshuang thought for a while and said, "Can we pay a visit to your master, we still want to ask his old man about this piece of jade." ”
Zhang Haifeng said with some embarrassment, "My master's other family is very old, and he has not been a guest all these years, but you are here with his last work, so I need to ask my master what he means." ”
So Ni Wenshuang and Lu Zhe waited in Zhengzhou for two days before they finally received a call from Zhang Haifeng, saying that his master had met with them.
The master's home is in a small courtyard in the suburbs, and his wife has passed away for many years, and now he is accompanied by only a nanny to take care of his daily life and food.
When Ni Wenshuang handed over the piece of jade to the master, his hands trembled a little, "In fact, it is really helpless to make this piece of jade into a handle, and I just thought that if someone auctioned those two pieces, then this one would be given to him directly." But I didn't expect those two pieces to be auctioned off by two people separately, so the third piece had to be auctioned off, but I really don't know who bought it. ”
"Do you remember how you got this rough stone?" Ni Wenshuang asked.
After thinking for a while, the master told them how he got the rough stone back then......
That was 10 years ago, when I went to Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province to see a friend, and then he took me around the county town around Xianyang to see if I could receive any good things, and I remember that we drove to a village called Qilizhuang.
When a family was building a house and digging the foundation, they didn't expect to dig out a lot of human bones, because there are often ancient tombs here, so people are very accustomed to it, and it didn't cause much of a sensation.
The leader of the village immediately notified the local township government, but the archaeological staff came to take a look and found that there was nothing else here except some carbonized human bones and some black ash after burning and giving birth, that is, there was no archaeological value at all.
But they still picked up the human bones in the pit, and then the pit was handed over to the villagers to fill in by themselves, and the family who was going to build a house on it had no choice but not to choose a place to build a house, and no one dared to live on the dead man's pit.
But when the family dug the pit, they actually got a treasure, which was a dark and shiny stone, which could be the size of a lead ball, and then the man of the family once took this thing to Xianyang, and wanted to make a move, if no one wanted it.
There are also experts who see that this should be a piece of jade, but when they hear that it is dug out of a dead man's pit, they all feel unlucky, and they are also afraid that if they open it and see that it is a piece of dead jade, they will lose it?
A friend of mine also saw the rough stone at the time, and he told me what the stone looked like, which intrigued me and I decided to go and see the rough stone......
So the two of us came to the farmer's house, when I saw the stone, I was shocked, with my years of experience combined with what I had heard before, I roughly divided the slurry on the outside of this stone should be human fat, it is this large amount of human fat wrapped in this piece of jade, after more than two thousand years of baptism, to form the current form.
I saw that the stone was a precious jade, so I asked the farmer to make a price, saying that I wanted to accept the stone, because no one thought it was worth it before, so the farmer's price was not high. After listening to it, I didn't make a counteroffer, and just accepted the things.
After returning to the city, my friend persuaded him, "Why is this thing dug up from the pit of the dead, so why don't you send it to the temple and find a monk to recite the scriptures!" ”
At the time, I laughed at my friend and said, "You also believe this, you have collected a lot of antiques, and there are not many dead people's things in it?" Cowardice can't do what we do! ”
Later, I brought it home and kept it in the storeroom, thinking that I would be inspired to start carving, and it turned out to be three years......
Because considering that this piece of jade was dug out of the pit of the dead, I designed several patterns of the Buddha, and then selected and decided, one carved into Master Guanyin, and the other carved into Maitreya Buddha, but after designing these two remaining jade, I can no longer carve other patterns, so I just simply polished it and made it into the current shape.
But when I was carefully carving these three pieces of jade, something happened to my family, first my wife was in a car accident and left, and then my son was also diagnosed with cancer, and I used all ******** to create the work, and by the time I finished the work, my two relatives had already left me, and I didn't have the heart to carve jade again.
I gave the factory to my eldest apprentice to run it well, and I also auctioned off the three pieces of jade, and I didn't want to think of my wife and children as soon as I saw them......
The master cried several times when he talked about his emotion, and Ni Wenshuang comforted him and said, "Don't be sad, I believe that your wife will always support your work." ”
After Ni Wenshuang and Lu Zhe left the master's house, they were about to return to Zhengzhou City, but Zhang Haifeng chased after them and said, "Miss Ni, I have a reluctant request......
"Director Zhang, do you want my piece of jade?" Ni Wenshuang guessed Zhang Haifeng's thoughts at once.
He nodded and said, "Yes, this piece of jade is a knot in my master's heart, so I want to put this piece of jade here first, and let this jade accompany him after a hundred years." ”
Ni Wenshuang was a little hesitant, she didn't want to sell this jade, but she was afraid that there would be something like Wu Jun again?
But when she hesitated like this, Zhang Haifeng thought that Ni Wenshuang was reluctant, so he hurriedly said that he would exchange it for a jade with better condition, and after speaking, he took out a palm-sized jade Pixiu, which was carved vividly, and it was not a vulgar thing at first glance.
Speaking of which, Ni Wenshuang couldn't refuse anymore, so she agreed to Zhang Haifeng's conditions.
On the way back, Lu Zhe kept playing with his mobile phone and didn't speak, Ni Wenshuang asked him, "What are you doing?" ”
Lu Zhe only looked up at this time and said, "What about booking tickets on mobile phones, we will check out when we go back to the hotel in a while, I have already booked my ticket for tonight, I don't believe that this jade can run back by itself this time." ”
Ni Wenshuang thought about it, it was good to leave early, so he didn't have to dream a lot at night, so the two of them checked out immediately after returning to the hotel, and then took a taxi to the airport. (To be continued.) )
