Chapter 34: The Brocade Box

But it's simple to think, if you really want to read, write, and memorize word by word, it is definitely a very big test for a person's energy and memory. After all, there are too many of these things, and they are too jerky, and they will not be easy at all compared to those who are engaged in scientific research.

Li Jingjing said that if you want to learn seal carving, you don't have to study all the seal characters very thoroughly. Now a lot of seal carving craftsmen do this, after all, there are no high degrees in this industry, can you expect a group of people who have never been to college, to study the ancient characters thoroughly?

Xie Bin himself started with the simplest and most basic content, and after studying for most of the day, he was already a little dizzy, which was much more tiring than studying what jade and jade. However, the old man said that this thing is more difficult at the beginning, and the deeper it goes, the easier it is, after all, in ancient times, the text was far less abundant than it is now.

The next day, it was Xue Yuying's turn to treat her, which could be regarded as Li Jingjing taking the opportunity to blackmail. In other words, Xue Yuying's seal also has half of Xie Bin's hard work, and it also saves the manual fee. As a well-known seal carving master in China, the manual cost is not low, less than three or two thousand, and more than three or five thousand. This is not the same as the fees charged by ordinary seal carvers for dozens or hundreds of dollars for a seal.

This time Xue Yuying arrived early, and she was very eager to wait for the arrival of Xie Bin and Li Jingjing, and of course, she didn't forget the little girl Liu Wenqing. Whether it's Xue Yuying or Li Jingjing, they are all very good to Liu Wenqing, a cute and sensible little girl. It is said that Liu Wenqing is very sensitive to external information for a period of time, and these days I have met these people with Xie Bin, and I feel that my horizons have been broadened a lot, and I admire these two big sisters who are very capable and capable. Of course, this is just an instinctive look of the little girl for a powerful woman.

And for Xie Bin, this girl is the real admiration. Since she was a child, Xie Bin has left a very deep impression on Liu Wenqing, and as she slowly grows up, she slowly becomes sensible, but she admires Xie Bin more and more. And the incident that happened a few days ago completely filled Liu Wenqing's newborn and weak heart with Xie Bin's shadow.

It's just that Xie Bin didn't notice the attitude of the little girl next to him, he paid more attention to Xue Yuying, Li Jingjing, and even Chen Minhan. Well, Xie Bin, an emotional rookie, is quite ambitious, and he has some kind of ambition for the beauties he knows.

Xue Yuying snatched the seal from Li Jingjing's hand, looked at it carefully with joy, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said "Huh": "Xie Bin, why do I think this is your craft?" It can't be that you and Li Jingjing joined forces to fool me, right? ”

Xie Bin was quite surprised, this girl could recognize her own craftsmanship? Could it be that his craft is so clever that he can be recognized at a glance? Or is this girl paying special attention to her craft? No matter what kind of thing, Xie Bin felt quite accomplished, and said with a smile: "Yes, that little sheep is my craft, how about it?" ”

"Cut, ruined such a piece of good material," Xue Yuying pouted, but her hand was clenched tighter, but then she put it into the box lightly and put it away carefully, which was reassuring. It can be seen that this girl really likes the name seal of this sheep button very much.

Xie Bin looked at her as a treasure, and said with a smile: "I haven't charged you the manual fee yet, so you can be content." ”

"Labor fees?" Xue Yuying looked at Xie Bin in surprise and asked with an ignorant expression, "What is that?" ”

Xie Bin was hooked by Xue Yuying's unusual expression, looked at her pretended surprised face, and was unconsciously stunned for a moment. Li Jingjing on the side was slightly annoyed in her heart, and couldn't help but stretch out her foot and kick Xie Bin's calf.

Awakened by this sudden attack, Xie Bin blushed a little and was a little embarrassed, he was caught red-handed. Not only was Xie Bin a little embarrassed, but Xue Yuying was also blinded by Xie Bin's straight eyes, she rarely showed this kind of expression in men, let alone gags with other men in this tone. And Li Jingjing also regretted it a little, for fear that others would see her actions just now, which is completely different from her usual calm and wise image, and the small actions just now are like a little daughter-in-law who has eaten vinegar.

There were a table of people, only Liu Wenqing, a little girl who couldn't speak, took in the demeanor and movements of several people, bit her lip thoughtfully, her long eyelashes fanned lightly twice, and her bright eyes kept flowing on the other three people.

However, Xie Bin, this guy, naturally won't be cold-hearted by this little embarrassment, so he pretended to be bold and helped Liu Wenqing clip a big crab roe, "Wenwen, eat hard, help me eat your sister Ying's manual fee back." ”

At the beginning of Xie Bin, the two girls hurriedly followed the topic, "You know how to eat, Wenwen, don't listen to his nonsense, eating too much will make meat bigger." Xue Yuying's words, this is a matter of experience. Her figure is a little fat, of course, just slightly, only slightly fatter than Li Jingjing and Liu Wenqing. But that's it, this girl eats and drinks carefully all day long, for fear that she will exceed the standard if she is not careful. She's like that, if she eats a little more, the fat will grow quickly. The last time I had a party at Xie Bin's, I ate a little, and then I complained that Xie Bin's cooking was so delicious, and this resentment lasted for several days.

And Li Jingjing is different, don't look at her a little skinny, but she eats meat unambiguously, especially likes to eat beef, and she is not fat no matter how she eats, which makes Xue Yuying shout all day long to change her body with Li Jingjing.

And Liu Wenqing is developing, but there are no taboos, what to eat, a small face is delicate and delicate, and the skin makes Xue Yuying almost hungry. If you don't say Lori is good, it's good here, pure natural and pollution-free.

"Xie Bin, let me take a look at your seal," Xue Yuying remembered Xie Bin's superb bloodstone, and wanted to see what that stone was carved into.

Xie Bin took out a small box from his pocket, a little larger than the seal, which Xie Bin specially made to store this precious seal. The box is carved out of almond wood and is linked by a small hinge. The outside of the box was carefully carved by Xie Bin with a layer of landscape paintings, which looked very elegant, and the inside was carved out a groove that matched the shape of the seal, and then a piece of bright yellow silk was inlaid.

The bright bloodstone is placed on the bright yellow silk, which is even more eye-catching. The color of bloodstone is already very gorgeous, and it is even more dazzling at this time.

Xue Yuying held the small box and played with it for a long time, and then studied the box, and suddenly found that there was still a layer in the upper part of the box opened, and she opened it curiously, but there was a layer of red ink inside. Xue Yuying's eyes blinked, "Xie Bin, help me do a good job, it should be regarded as after-sales service, you can't look at my high-end material in those ordinary boxes." ”

"Okay, as long as you treat again, it's no problem," Xie Bin said with a grin. This thing is very simple to make, but most people don't put this amount of thought into it. Xie Bin can make two in the morning, which is much faster than making small carvings. It's just that don't look at it simply, it takes a lot of thought, otherwise Xue Yuying wouldn't be so rare.

Even Li Jingjing on the side was a little eager to try Xie Bin to help make one, but she just opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, she was not as open as Xue Yuying. Xie Bin smiled secretly in his heart, this girl is really good-looking, but as the saying goes, crying children have milk to eat, this is true, just look at Xue Yuying.

Of course, this is also Xue Yuying's temper touching Xie Bin. Besides, Xue Yuying has already thrown more than 600,000 yuan here from Xie Bin, if Xie Bin refuses even such a small request, it will seem too unkind, right? Besides, that is not in line with Xie Bin's way of doing things.

The next day, Xie Bin stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, and helped Xue Yuying and Li Jingjing get a small box to store the seals. Bloodstone is a soft texture, so you need to pay special attention when storing it, especially the side with the lettering, as a slight damage will affect the quality and beauty of the seal.

Therefore, the preservation and maintenance of bloodstone is also a must be paid attention to in the collection of bloodstone. Bloodstone, in particular, does not stand up to sunlight and light, and should also be avoided from exposure to the air. Generally, it is coated with wax or covered with a film and stored in a sealed box. But the seal should be carried with you and used often, so as long as it is stored in a brocade box, and then coated with a layer of wax, do not collide and depict and beat, it can be preserved very well. In addition, it is important to pay special attention to the fact that bloodstone should never be exposed to chemicals, such as cosmetics or anything, as it is very harmful to bloodstone.

Of course, not only bloodstone, but also some natural gemstones also need to pay attention to this, such as nephrite, cosmetics are a taboo for this type of jade.

The box Xie Bin carved for Xue Yuying was slightly larger, after all, her seal was not small. The box is carved with a landscape painting of human figures. The painting is a scene of a master, a servant and two women climbing the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and the landscape is also very beautiful, but it is closer to Xue Yuying's name.

And for Li Jingjing, it is simpler, and the carving is a plum blossom. Plum blossoms have always been the favorite of literati and scholars, and there are many plum blossoms in calligraphy, painting, carving, and even writing poems and lyrics. The most natural is to love the plum blossom that is not afraid of the bitter cold characteristics, there are also like the plum blossom noble, no matter what, most of them are more suitable for the occasion.

And Xie Bin carved a plum blossom for Li Jingjing, and he also felt that Li Jingjing's temperament was somewhat similar to the plum blossom, especially the transcendent atmosphere. However, this plum blossom took Xie Bin a lot of effort to complete. This plum blossom is not carved on one side of the box alone, but is distributed on five sides, front, back, left and right. The branches and petals of the plum blossom are very clear, especially Xie Bin has just gotten some inspiration from his teacher, and the cutting knife method commonly used in engraving is also mixed with this plum branch. Especially the branch part, carved with a knife knife is more simple and strong.

Looking at the fruits of his labor, Xie Bin was still quite satisfied, and he was thinking about carving something for Liu Wenqing again, when Li Xiaojun's call came. Xie Bin asked with a smile after connecting: "I said Brother Li, you are not at home to prepare for your engagement, why are you looking for me?" ”

"Haha, it's all ready, just waiting to start, what is there to prepare, what are you? What are you busy with? Get together at night? Li Xiaojun was in a good mood, and he could feel that pleasant breath in his voice.

Xie Bin smiled and said, "Okay, who dares not to go to your treat, where is it?" ”
