Because he was disappointed with Wenxuan's previous behavior, Dong Dechang did not bring him with him, but let him have a long experience in the antique market.

Huang Yongsan was wearing a white satin Tai Chi suit, his eyes were focused, and his spiritual head was not even worse than Dong Dechang, who was in his sixties. What surprised Yu Fei even more was that Huang Yongsan's hands were not rough because of the perennial carving he had imagined, on the contrary, his hands were white and supple, and he felt dexterous when he looked at them.

Seeing Dong Dechang come in, Huang Yongsan smiled and said, "Little Dong, what treasure have you found again?" ”

Dong Dechang said with a smile: "Old Huang, this time the baby is not mine, but this flying child." ”

Speaking of Dong Dechang's seniority in the antique shop is not low, but Huang Yongsan's seniority is too high, and there are many disciples, some of whom are characters in the jade industry, it is not an exaggeration to say that Huang Yongsan is a bull in the jade industry. This is far beyond Dong Dechang's ability.

Yu Fei called out respectfully: "Huang Lao." ”

Huang Yongsan nodded, in response, and then asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Originally, in his opinion, Yu Fei's age was too young, and he should be Dong Dechang's son and nephew. But listening to Dong Dechang's voice, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Huang Lao, you take a look at this first." Dong Dechang opened the box, took out the sending Ziyu Guanyin and handed it to Huang Yongsan.

"What? Are you still selling off with the old man? Huang Yongsan took the jade Guanyin and looked at it, and said: "Looking at the rough and powerful knife technique, it should be Wu Gong's work." Although it was deliberately covered up with clumsiness, the skill in it was inadvertently brought out. ”

The "Wu" in Huang Yongsan's mouth is Suzhou, Suzhou's jade craftsmanship knife is rough and powerful, but the carving is very fine, and it was pushed to the top of the country in the Ming Dynasty. Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" believes that "although good work gathers Beijing masters, craftsmanship pushes Su County." In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there were a number of jade masters, such as Lu Zigang, Liu Tan, He Si, Li Wenfu, Wang Xiaoxi, etc., who were experts in making small pieces. The picture of the lady of Tongyin handed down during the Qianlong period is also the work of Suzhou craftsmen. The bottom of it is engraved with the inscription of Emperor Qianlong: "Khotanese tribute jade, which is regulated, Wu Gong is carved into a picture of the remaining materials, neither discarded, but also complete the jade." Imperial knowledge. It is a pity that in the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty, the sales of jade in Suzhou were decreasing day by day and gradually declining.

"Are you saying that the clumsiness of sending Ziyu Guanyin was indeed intentional?" Dong Dechang asked in surprise. Dong Dechang also had such conjectures before, but he was not sure.

"What do you think?" Huang Yongsan asked angrily: "It is rare for people in the world to seek skill, but it is not easy for skilled craftsmen to seek clumsiness." ”

Huang Yongsan led Dong Dechang and Yu Fei into the studio, although it is called a studio, it is far from being elegant and exquisite. The tables, chairs and benches are all made of rosewood, although it is not an antique, nor is it the most precious small leaf red sandalwood, but the price is also very expensive.

In the middle of the house was a rosewood table, on which there was nothing but a spotlight and various tools.

Huang Yongsan sat down at the table, turned on the lamp, looked at the Yuguanyin carefully, and said, "This lotus leaf is a bit weird. ”

This eyesight made Dong Dechang and Yu Fei admire the five-body projection. Yu Fei didn't see anything wrong from beginning to end, and Dong Dechang found the difference by chance, but Huang Yongsan didn't use any tools, just looked at it and found that the lotus leaf was strange.

After taking out a magnifying glass and looking at it carefully, Huang Yongsan already knew it in his heart, and with his experience, he was still unconsciously moved! I'm afraid that the skill of the author of this Jade Guanyin is not below him, what kind of shocking work will he hide so hard?

After Yu Fei decided to take out the lotus boy, Huang Yongsan drove both of them out, Yangzhou jade carving is not a secret, even for two laymen, Huang Yongsan is unwilling to leak.

It took two hours for the studio door to reopen.

When Dong Dechang and Yu Fei went in, they found that Huang Yongsan was still sitting at the table, with a trace of tiredness on his face, but the look in his eyes was brighter.

Seeing the two come in, Huang Yongsan let out a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed deeply to the two. This scared Dong Dechang a lot.

"Old Huang, aren't you giving us a chance to live like this?" Dong Dechang said.

Huang Yongsan sighed: "If it weren't for the works of the predecessors brought by the two today, I'm afraid that today, although Huang is a frog at the bottom of the well, he still doesn't know it." ”

Huang and Dong were gossiping unhurriedly, this was a big deal for Yu Fei, and he was worried about what was going on with the lotus boy in Yu Guanyin's hand! But these two just don't say it! This is still Yu Fei's calmer temperament, if he were Wen Xuan, I am afraid he would have already shouted.

It was easy for Huang Yongsan to turn to the topic, and he handed the round carving of the lotus boy in his hand to Dong Dechang.

With the help of the spotlight, Dong Dechang saw that the lotus boy was less than the size of a little thumb, and the jade was smooth and oily; The luster is soft, and it is a good Hetian jade. The boy holds the lotus with one hand, and the lotus stem is around the shoulder, the image is vivid and elegant, innocent. The knife technique is delicate and delicate, and it is simply ingenious! Dong Dechang's eyes straightened, the value of this lotus boy is probably more than the flying jade cicada!

Seeing Dong Dechang's unstoppable admiration, Huang Yongsan reminded again: "Take a closer look at the back of the boy's right ear. ”

When Dong Dechang heard this, he carefully looked at the boy's right ear and found a few jade carving lines, nothing else.

Huang Yongsan handed him a magnifying glass, Dong Dechang sighed, wiped the magnifying glass, leaned over and looked at it carefully for a long time, "Gang...... Child...... Am I not mistaken? How is this possible, how is this possible?! ”

Seeing that Dong Dechang, who was old and serious, was so out of shape, Yu Fei asked in surprise: "Uncle Dong, what's wrong?" What jar? "Yu Fei has always called Dong Dechang old man, but Huang Yongsan is older than Dong, so the title of this old man is inappropriate, so Yu Fei changed his mouth to call him Uncle Dong.

"Zigang?" Dong Dechang looked at Huang Yongsan in disbelief and asked.

"That's right." Huang Yongsan nodded solemnly.

"Oh my God, what the hell did I see? Zigang paragraph! It's really a suboka! Dong Dechang's excited hands trembled. This made Yu Fei worry that he would accidentally throw the Zhilian boy to the ground.

Lu Zigang was a master of jade carving in Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty and was known as "the first person in Chinese jade". His works are extremely rigorous, as far as the selection of materials is concerned, "the jade color is not beautiful, the jade quality is not good, and the jade is not good"; The process of carving is even more rigorous, meticulously pondered, and strives for truth. For example, the difference between the crescent moon and the waning moon is not obvious in the works of many painters, and Lu Zigang "Whenever a new moon is carved, it must be wound and right; When you carve a dawn moon, you will go down and go to the left", reaching an impeccable realm. At the same time, the traditional "sand grinding method" was reformed into a knife carving method, he held the "Kunwu knife", carved out of the narcissus hairpin, the flowers and leaves are thick, the stems and branches are as thin as no hair and continuously, trembling to show the delicate state of the flower, for the world to praise.

Legend has it that Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan heard that Lu Zigang was skilled, and deliberately gave him a problem, asking him to carve a hundred horses on a small jade wrench. In the land of projectiles, ten horses are still crowded, not to mention a hundred horses! However, Lu Zigang used only three horses to create a magnificent momentum of a hundred horses entering the city and a vast scene of thousands of horses galloping: under the distant view of the mountains and mountains, a horse has galloped into the city, a horse is galloping towards the gate, and the last one has just exposed the horse's head in the valley.

But unfortunately, Lu Zigang has no descendants, and his stunt was annihilated with his death, which made future generations sigh with hope. Huang Yongsan's status in today's Yangcheng jade carving world is unparalleled, but when he saw Lu Zigang's sword technique, he felt a sense of powerlessness that looked at the ocean and sighed.
