XXVII. The grade of the Xiangyu Master

Twenty-seven fragrant jade masters' grades

After worshipping the god Nuwa, Liuxiang Weiwei took Yuan Ye to visit her studio, and the jade pieces on the shelves were all her works, and she told Yuan Ye with great interest where the carving was good and where she was not satisfied.

The layman Yuan Ye just felt that these carvings were beautiful and lush, much more beautiful than the ones he saw in the jade shop outside. She didn't know that the jade carving that had achieved such a carving of water products was definitely a fine product outside, and those who had achieved such a carving of water products in the secular world were already called grandmasters. However, the pursuit of the jade master is not only in the carving skills, but also in the sublimation of ordinary jade pieces into fragrant jade, so how superb the jade carving skills are, it is not enough to see in the Lingering Fragrance Garden, because there are jade carving masters everywhere, they have already raised the carving knife at a very young age, and they can't even speak and walk.

"The level of the Xiangyu Master is actually divided according to the spiritual seed in the dantian, but the Xiangyu Master below the fifth grade can't open the spiritual eye and can't see the spiritual energy and spiritual seed, so he has to be divided according to the fragrant jade water product that comes out of the making zuò. The germination of the spirit seed is the first grade of fragrant jade, and it can make zuò fragrant jade, but the fragrant jade that comes out of zuò can only form a small bud or a small straight curve in the fragrant jade. The spirit seed of the Yipin Xiangyu Master has grown a leaf, and correspondingly, the Xiangyu made of zuò can already form a leaf, which can be a leaf of various shapes, and the specific leaf depends on the talent level of the Xiangyu Master. My father gave me a fragrant jade pendant, and there is a lotus leaf in it, which is a fragrant jade. The second-grade fragrant jade master is a spiritual seed that grows two leaves, and can correspondingly make two-leaf second-grade fragrant jade. ”

Yuan Ye smiled: "And so on, three leaves are the three grades of fragrant jade, the fragrant jade that can make zuò three leaves, the four pieces are the four products, and the four leaves that can make zuò four leaves, the five grades, the six grades and the seven grades...... It is to make zuò leaves. ”

Liuxiang Weiwei also smiled: "The Xiangyu Master below the fifth grade can say so, but once the Wupin Xiangyu Master is reached, it is no longer only possible to make zuò leaves, it is said that it can form other substances, and it can also form flowers, and even flowers of other colors, no longer only green." However, the fragrant jade above the fifth grade is only a handwritten note handed down by the ancestors of the family. During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, our Liuxiang family once produced a five-grade fragrant jade master, who made a jade pendant of water hibiscus and gave it to Xiao Zhou, according to the family records, there was a pink lotus flower in the jade pendant. ”

Yuan Ye heard it in a fog: "Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, after Xiao Zhou, when was that?" Qing Dynasty? Is Xiao Zhouhou younger than Empress Dowager Cixi? ”

Liuxiang Weiwei couldn't help but be stunned, she was really incredible, there were people who didn't even know such a common sense thing.

Yuan Ye bowed his head in shame and said, "I'm not very good at history, hehe, this ...... I didn't memorize the dynasty song. ”

Liuxiang Weiwei smiled with relief: "History is the simplest, you can know it at a glance, you can understand it when you think about it, it is much easier than making zuò fragrant jade, I have a lot of history books here, you can read it if you want to." As for the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was much earlier than the Qing Dynasty, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty and before the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, during that relatively chaotic period, there were many countries on the land of China, and this period was called the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Xiao Zhou Hou was the second queen of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty at that time, and the younger sister of the Great Zhou Hou. After the death of the Great Zhou Hou, Li Yu married her sister again, so she was called Xiao Zhou Hou. ”

Yuan Ye scoffed: "Sister-in-law who stole your brother-in-law, how could your ancestor give Xiangyu to such a person?" ”

Liuxiang Weiwei smiled, her face was like a peach blossom, and today was the day she smiled the most in all these years. "There must be a reason why I want to dedicate it to Xiao Zhouhou, I have been looking for a long time in the family's library and have not found relevant records, and we will go to the library to find it again when we have time."

Hearing about reading, Yuan Ye was actually very headache, but for some reason, listening to this seventeen young lady talk about history, Yuan Ye was full of interest, and wanted to dig out the cause and effect with her, even if she was asked to move most of it.

Liuxiang Weiwei picked up a flower-shaped jade pendant and touched it, then looked back at Yuan Ye's face, sighed softly, opened a drawer, picked out a red rope, tied the jade pendant, walked to Yuan Ye, put it on Yuan Ye's neck, and gently stroked the jade pendant before saying: "Xiangyu has various effects, if I can make zuò fragrant jade in the future, I will give you this piece of jade to make a piece of fragrant jade with beautifying effects, but I am very useless, so I can only give it to you as an ordinary jade pendant first." ”

Yuan Ye held the flower-shaped jade pendant in her hand, and a warm and cool breath passed into her hand, and when she opened her spiritual eye, she saw the rich white spiritual energy in the jade pendant flowing along the jade veins. The spiritual seed in her dantian began to rotate at an accelerated pace, and the spiritual energy in the jade pendant flowed into her body along the hand of the original leaf as if it had been sucked away by a vacuum cleaner, and flowed to the dantian along the meridians, where it was absorbed by the spirit seed. Yuan Ye felt a warm energy coming from the spirit seed, nourishing her whole body.

Liuxiang Weiwei raised her eyes and looked at the flower-shaped jade pendant in Yuan Ye's hand again, and her face was suddenly shocked, where is this still a piece of Hetian jade of good quality, it is clearly an ordinary stone, this ......

Yuan Ye also saw the change in the jade pendant in his hand, and the warm spirit jade was sucked dry by his own spirit seed and turned into an ordinary stone.

Liuxiang Weiwei untied the jade pendant from the neck of the original leaf, and was puzzled: "This piece is clearly a good Hetian jade, how can it be an ordinary stone?" Am I looking away all these days? This stone is loose in texture, dry in the hand, no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary stone, but I have always been a baby. No wonder I still can't become a Xiangyu master, and I still can't get home! ”

Seeing Liuxiang Weiwei talking to herself and struggling with herself, Yuan Ye realized that she had done something bad and sucked someone else's piece of precious jade into a stone, of course, with her current vision, she naturally would not know the market price of such a piece of jade with high-quality base material and superb carving skills outside, if she knew, she would definitely have the heart to hit the wall.

In order to divert Liuxiang Weiwei's entanglement and cover up his crimes, Yuan Ye looked inquisitive and studious: "Sister Wei, are these stones in the middle all jade rough stones?" ”

Liuxiang Weiwei really immediately recovered from self-pity: "That's right, these are the jade materials I gambled on in the warehouse of the outer garden, before the heavy snow closed the mountain, I first stored so many jade materials to prevent the snow from being unable to transport the materials in winter." Anyway, the family gives 500,000 yuan a month, and I don't have anything to spend except gambling stones. ”

"Half a million?" Yuan Ye couldn't help but blurt out.

Liuxiang Weiwei didn't pay attention to the envy and jealousy on Yuan Ye's face, and only explained seriously: "The spirit seed disciples of the family who are ten to twenty years old in the outer garden can receive a living allowance of 500,000 yuan from the family every month, and the one hundred thousand yuan per month under the age of ten is mainly to support the spirit seed disciples who have not yet earned money to gamble on jade materials to learn how to make jade." ”
