Chapter 167: Mandarin Ducks
As soon as the Chun Festival passed, Xie Bin's life was slowly on the right track, and he still listened to Tan Rui's classes every day, and if he had time, he would make some objects. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info What makes Xie Bin depressed is that Zou Xintong has been sandwiched between her and Chen Minhan to make a light bulb, which makes the two of them unfriendly, and they are about to suffocate him.
Zou Xintong didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, he had to take Chen Minhan with him wherever he went, and he had to sleep with Chen Minhan when he returned to the villa, and Xie Bin couldn't sneak in and steal if he wanted to.
Xie Bin scratched his ears and cheeks with an impatient appearance, Zou Xintong and Chen Minhan naturally saw it. However, Chen Minhan has some happiness and sweetness, but also some small regrets, regretting that he can't continue to fly with Xie Bin.
But Zou Xintong's heart was full of pleasure after revenge, so that Xie Bin ate the leopard's gall and teased me. But some of the deeper and more complicated feelings, I'm afraid even Zou Xintong himself didn't notice it.
Xie Bin couldn't eat Chen Minhan, so he took the time to carve out the colorful jade dowry that Chen Jianjun ordered. In other words, Tan Rui is now also touching Xie Bin's carving style, and the drawings made are more in line with Xie Bin's carving habits, and even some details are handled very well, Xie Bin can move the knife without even making any changes.
This time, the shape designed by Tan Rui is more traditional, which is a scene of two happy and festive mandarin ducks frolicking between half lotus leaves. There is nothing too outstanding about the shape, but the combination with the raw materials is really ingenious, and the whole piece of jadeite material is fully utilized, and there is almost no major loss.
Tan Rui's design industry is normal, she didn't know it before, but now she knows that this material is expensive jadeite, how can she design such a plan with great loss? Not everyone has Xie Bin's spirit of taking jadeite and not taking jadeite.
This design drawing is quite ingenious, from the shape of the material to the distribution of the purple and green sè, all of them are carefully straightened out and dyed sè treatment, looking at the renderings is like seeing the carved and formed objects, obviously very attentive, these sè can not be painted casually, it is to take the raw material itself as a reference.
The green sè part of this piece of jadeite is more, accounting for about seventy percent, and Tan Rui designed it into a large green sè lotus leaf, and the green and purple part is designed as two cheerful cross-necked mandarin ducks, especially the appearance of purple sè, so that the two lifelike mandarin ducks have a little more warm sè tone, and it looks like a more festive atmosphere, which is in line with the theme.
With Xie Bin's unique carving, this thing can definitely be collected as an heirloom, and with Chen Jianjun's family background and wealth, it will not lose face, and it is suitable as a dowry.
As for the items that Chen Jianjun wanted to give to Liu Mingna, he couldn't do it because he didn't have a suitable Hetian jade in his hand now. Xie Bin thought about it and felt that it would be better for him to go to Hotan in person.
When I went to Hetian's place, one was that the price of raw materials was relatively cheaper, and the probability of good things appearing was relatively high, and the other was that Xie Bin wanted to see for himself, maybe he could pick up something missing.
It is said that in Hotan now, there are jade diggers everywhere, digging with excavators, burying explosives, carrying iron pickaxes and hoes, and picking them up by the water.
In fact, it is really unclear how many people have made a fortune, but the vast majority of people can only mix food and clothing, which is even worse than playing jade. Because the best jade materials in Hetian jade are quite scarce, and they are selected from the mountains and rivers piece by piece, it is no less difficult to get a piece of the best than looking for a needle in a haystack.
told Zou Xintong about her plans, but Zou Xintong did not object, but asked Xie Bin to help her come back with a little better jade material, and she planned to expand the business scope of a tasting.
It's not impossible for Xie Bin to think about it, he used to have such thoughts, but he couldn't be busy just making jadeite, where would he have time to play Hetian jade? Now anyway, there is no need for Xie Bin to do it, and it is not too high-end to do anything, so Xie Bin naturally will not refuse this proposal.
And Zou Xintong just plans to try the water first to see how the market reacts, after all, Hetian jade is different from jadeite.
Xie Bin and Zou Xintong summed it up, set an itinerary, and decided to leave for Hotan the day after tomorrow.
"Do you want to take your hazy and let her accompany you?" Zou Xintong squinted at Xie Bin and asked with a smile.
This suggestion made Xie Bin very excited, but after thinking about it, he gave up this tempting idea, after all, this is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, Xie Bin probably can't take care of accompanying Chen Minhan when he gets there, and there is really nothing fun in Hotan place, plus there are mixed fish and dragons, no one can guarantee what kind of things will happen.
Seeing Xie Bin shaking his head, Zou Xintong was very surprised, "What? Don't like people so quickly? I really like the new and hate the old. ”
Xie Bin couldn't cry or laugh, "Sister Xintong, what do you think, I'm just worried that she can't stand the pain of this kind of rushing, from the island city to Hetian, you think it's a fun thing?" The road was suffocated. ”
"Then you have to bring a companion, what if you are lonely or sleepy on the road alone?" Zou Xintong didn't appreciate it at all, "Just do as I say, bring it with you, and cultivate your feelings on the road, so it's a honeymoon trip." ”
Zou Xintong said this, Xie Bin also had a little more expectations in his heart, according to her, this road is indeed more fun than driving alone, "It's just hazy do you want to go?" ”
Zou Xintong glanced at Xie Bin, "As long as I follow you, let alone go to Hetian, it is estimated that she is willing to go to the sea of fire under the Flash Knife Mountain." ”
Xie Bin smiled, "Sister Xintong, why did I listen to this sour?" Why don't you go to Hotan with me," he said as he reached out and grabbed Zou Xintong's arm.
Zou Xintong screamed and turned over and ran away, "Death Xie Bin, dare to tease me, be careful that I let Hazy remarry." ”
Xie Bin laughed, he finally grasped the weakness of such a mature woman, in the past, only Zou Xintong teased him Xie Bin, where will he Xie Bin turn over and call the shots?
Check the map at night at night, and take it to see what things need to be prepared in Hotan, whether there are any taboos, etc., after all, there are more Uyghurs over there, and the customs and habits are still different from those of the Han people. That's how it is when you go out, it's one thing to be less, and peace is the best.
When I was reading a post about Hetian jade pickers on Netease, the button "Dididi" rang, and I clicked on it to see that it was Xue Yuying's. "What are you up to? Great Artist? This is a message from Xue Yuying.
The last time the two of them contacted was a month before the Chinese New Year, and Xue Yuying chatted with Li Jingjing for a while when the Chinese New Year was approaching, but Xie Bin didn't know what the two of them were talking about, and Xue Yuying didn't send a message during the New Year.
"Nothing busy, what about you? Why didn't you even send a message during the Chinese New Year? ”
Xue Yuying was silent for a while before returning, "I'm sorry." ”
Xie Bin looked at this posture and thought about what's going on, Xue Yuying is not such a xingzi. Besides, Xie Bin was just joking just now, how could Xue Yuying take it seriously? Quickly sent a smile, "I'm sorry what?" I'm kidding you, haha, how are you now? ”
"Not good, I want to go home."
Xue Yuying's words surprised Xie Bin, and at the same time, he was a little happy in his heart, squeezed his fists, carefully considered his tone and asked, "Is it awkward?" ”
"It's not awkward, it's just annoying, life is far from being as simple as I imagined, and I regret it a little," this is really not like Xue Yuying, the eldest lady, who said it, she used to care about these things when she was carefree, let alone such a feeling.
Could it be that there is some contradiction between Xue Yuying and Liu Tao? Thinking of this, Xie Bin's mood was even more excited, as if he saw a white crane struggling in a trap, waiting for him, a hunter, to go and harvest it, as for whether to help her recuperate after being caught or stewed wine, that is another matter. In the final analysis, Xie Bin has not forgotten Xue Yuying from beginning to end, and Xue Yuying's status in her heart is still very important.
"Come back if you regret it, I miss you a lot," the meaning of the word "all" is quite rich, it can be said that these people in the island city, but also can focus on expressing Xie Bin's own feelings.
I don't know if Xue Yuying found out about Xie Bin's careful thoughts, "Let's talk about it, alas, I have a headache, don't talk about it, let's talk about it another day." After Xue Yuying finished speaking, the avatar quickly dimmed.
Xie Bin said "Hey, hey" twice, but there was no response, which made Xie Bin feel a little stunned, and secretly annoyed, could it be that what she just said frightened her? Xie Bin closed the webpage in a complicated mind, and stayed at the button for a while, but he was helpless, he didn't even know where Xue Yuying was hiding, and it was useless to think about anything else, unless she took the initiative to run back.
However, it seems that Xue Yuying's life after eloping is not very satisfactory, think about it, her father is the director of the municipal bureau, and her mother is also the CEO of a large company, how can she, a young lady, stand the life of ordinary people? The princess can be with the poor scholar because she is a princess. If the princess no longer writes about the princess, even the scholar will not necessarily continue to be with her.
After getting up the next day, Xie Bin packed his bags, packed some change of clothes, and went to the city to buy a few green sè canvas bags, which were prepared for jade. And Chen Minhan also prepared a small travel bag and prepared to go to Hotan with Xie Bin, apparently under Zou Xintong's instructions.
I had a meal with Zou Xintong in the evening, which was a farewell, and I set off early the next morning and went straight to the west from the island city. Some of the roads have been run, from the easternmost part of the country to the westernmost part, and the time spent on the road alone is estimated to be several days.
However, along the way, Xie Bin can be regarded as discovering the benefits of carrying Chen Minhan, at least he is not lonely, this is one point; The other is to be able to take turns driving and resting. And with Chen Minhan here, Xie Bin has more worries in his heart, and he is also extra cautious when driving, for fear that something will hurt Chen Minhan. (To be continued.) )
