Chapter 26: Engraving (2)
Hua Wenhao was angry when he heard it, this Xiao Zhou's mouth was too damaged, Hua Wenhao didn't want to be like him, but this gas was blocked in his chest and made people very uncomfortable.
Master Xiao Zhou's words just now have attracted the attention of several guests, and they all looked over here, and the master not far away also heard the argument between the two, and hurriedly walked over: "Xiao Zhou, what do you say?" Those who come are all guests, hurry up and give people daoqian! ”
"But, but" Xiao Zhou's face turned red, he was Master Song's personal disciple, and although Master Liu, who taught him, was his elder, his status in this Xuan Mo Zhai was not as good as him.
"Young man, biedong is angry, and he is angry and wealthy, come and sit here!" Master Liu hurriedly spoke out to stop the two from continuing to clash!
Several guests saw that there was no excitement to see, and they all planned to go to the booth to have a look, when a young man next to him said: "Master, you should cut it off first, this stone is worthless!" ”
Master Liu was a little unhappy, this had just suppressed the fire, how could there be a coax, seeing that the person who was talking was also a young man, he thought: "These young people, they are not afraid of chaos!" ”
Those guests also looked over, "Yes, what is the origin of that black stone, Xuan Mozhai is so famous, it won't even be able to break this stone!" ”
Master Liu saw that if this kept coming out, it would seem that Xuan Mozhai had no background, and he could see the origin of Hua Wenhao's stones at a glance, but they were just stones, and they were indeed not worth much, but if he said it in front of so many people, the guest's face would be dull!
was hesitating, and saw Xiao Zhou say: "Uncle Liu, it's okay for you to break it, otherwise it will be spread out and people will say that we Xuan Mozhai don't understand stones, won't we smash the signboard!" ”
Master Liu saw that it was Xiao Zhou who spoke, and thought: "Usually this kid is quite jīng Ming, what's the matter today, I have to offend other guests, let's do business, is it necessary?" ”
Hua Wenhao wanted to endure it, but this Xiao Zhou was too hateful, one was there, and three were provocative. Although Hua Wenhao has a good temper, a good personality, and a strong sense of justice, it doesn't mean that people can step on it casually! This old master still understands some truth, but this little master's mouth is too damaged!
"Master, it's okay if you break it!"
Listening to what the patron said, the people who watched the excitement were also interested, Master Liu was a little embarrassed, that is, to tell the truth, and not to offend the guests, after thinking about it, he said: "In fact, this stone is called a stone, produced in Sibin, Shandong, mainly used to make scraping boards, awls, anvils, etc., in recent years, it has been processed into various jewelry, but it still belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine health care, not pure jewelry or jewelry, it is a very good stone." ”
The layman looks at the excitement, the insider listens to the doorway, Xiao Zhou has really never carved such a stone, listening to Master Liu's words, he is even more sure that Hua Wenhao's stone is worthless, "I'll just say that this stone is not worth anything!" Xiao Zhou's face was smug, and his eyes were even more proud when he looked at Hua Wenhao.
"Really?" Hua Wenhao didn't care, and said to Master Liu: "Master, my stone is really a little special, ordinary people really can't understand it, you always have a vision, you can see at a glance that this stone is a stone, but if Xuan Mozhai's skills stop here, then I will be considered in vain!" ”
Hua Wenhao's first half of the sentence can be regarded as giving face to Master Liu, but the second half of the sentence is more energetic! By now, Hua Wenhao already knows that this stone can't be carved here, and he is angry, if the people of Xuan Mozhai really can't understand his stone, he puts this stone here for them to carve It's really not at ease, anyway, he also tears his face, and it makes people laugh, Hua Wenhao can't do it!
When Master Liu saw Hua Wenhao talking like this, he thought, "Yes, there is no way to deal with this matter today." "He didn't get angry with Hua Wenhao, so he was angry with Xiao Zhou, how could he compete with other customers!
"What kind of stone, let me see!"
"It's Master Song here!" Among the customers, there were people who knew Master Song, and they were talking in a whisper.
"Master, you're here!" When Xiao Zhou saw Song Lian suddenly appear, he was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't know how to alarm the master.
The reason why this Xuan Mozhai is famous is mainly because of this Master Song. Because the "fragrant Jurui" in the jade national treasure is designed by Master Song and carved by him himself.
Hua Wenhao looked over, Master Song looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, wearing glasses, and his hair was a little gray, giving people a sense of closeness, knowing that this should be the main person he was looking for today.
Hua Wenhao took out the stone and handed it to Master Song. Master Song took the stone and flipped it in his hand a few times, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Hua Wenhao: "Young man, this stone is yours?" Can you tell me what you're going to carve? ”
"This is it!" Hua Wenhao took out the drawings, Song Lian took it and looked at it, his expression became solemn, but he didn't make a sound, and looked at Hua Wenhao again: "Young man, this is for curing!" ”
Hua Wenhao nodded, and it could be seen that this Master Song had real learning.
"This stone is a gravel, but it is by no means a modern mine. The kind of stone circulating in the market only gets its name, you have been this stone for many years! Song Lian took off his glasses and was a little emotional.
"Young man, let's talk inside!"
A few customers asked, "Master Song, is this stone very precious?" ”
Song Lian said with a smile: "This kind of stone disappeared more than two thousand years ago, although the jadeite is precious, but it can still be mined now, which one do you say is precious!" ”
"So that's the case, no wonder this young man has to find Master Song to carve."
When Master Xiao Zhou heard this, he opened his mouth wide, how can a black stone be more precious than jade, and he was still ridiculing Hua Wenhao just now, saying that he wanted to write his name upside down, isn't this a slap in the face! His face was so hot that he couldn't look up at Hua Wenhao.
Song Lian invited Hua Wenhao upstairs to taste tea, where there was his studio. Master Song made tea, Hua Wenhao hurriedly stood up and took it, this Master Song is at least seventy years old, although Hua Wenhao is very dissatisfied with Master Xiao Zhou below, but he still has a lot of respect for this old man.
"If you want to talk about this stone, I saw it more than fifty years ago!" Song Qian invited Hua Wenhao to sit down, as if the stone evoked his memories.
"The old man has seen this kind of stone"
Hua Wenhao was so useless that he was too surprised, after all, Master Song Lian had dealt with stones all his life, and he had never seen any kind of stone.
Song Lian's somewhat dazed eyes revealed memories of his youth: "At that time, I was your age, and I studied carving with my teacher in Tianjing.
It had just been liberated at that time, and one day the door of the store had just opened, and an old Taoist anxiously broke in, with a child, who looked like he was six or seven years old, with a high fever and was dying.
The master asked him what to do, and the Taoist took out a stone from his sleeve, then took out a few pieces of drawing paper, threw a small yellow croaker (gold bar), and asked my master to immediately carve it for him according to the figure on it.
The master once told me, 'There are three kinds of people not to offend, monks, Taoist priests, and women', so the master didn't ask too much, and showed his whole body skills, and it took an hour to carve out the objects requested by the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest began to treat the child in front of my master, but the Taoist priest's method of curing the disease was too strange, he did not give the child medicine, but asked my master to find a spare room, he put the child in the middle of the ground, and placed the stone that my master had just carved around the child, and then acupunctured a few acupuncture points, gestured, and recited words in his mouth, and walked around the child and started to gossip.
The master and I didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the Taoist and annoying us, and it was strange to say, but it didn't take half an hour for the child to wake up, and then he kept throwing up, and when he was done, the Taoist told my master to clean the house, help take care of the child for a few days, and then left.
And when the man was gone, the boy woke up in the evening, and the fever had gone away, and he was clamoring for something to eat, and I brought him food, and the boy ate two large bowls, and when he woke up the next day, he was as good as no one. I was very surprised, I didn't know what spell the old Taoist used, and the old Taoist priest didn't come back until three days later.
I still remember that the child's surname was Gu, and if he was still alive, he would be fifty-six or seventeen years old. When the old Taoist priest came back, he told my master that he had helped save the child, so he had to help my master calculate a hexagram.
He said that if my master left the mainland and went there, he would have a good death, and if he didn't go, he would definitely be riddled with bad luck, and I was afraid that he would not live to be fifty years old, but my master didn't listen to him, and then caught up with those ten years, alas"
Master Song Lian sighed, Hua Wenhao was secretly surprised when he heard it, Master Song's description is clearly a medical skill that closely cooperates with the four techniques of needle, head, blessing and guidance, is there still a person in this world who knows this way.
After thinking about it, I felt relieved, the world is so big, there will always be some strange people, but I haven't encountered it.
"Young man, your stone is exactly the same as the stone that the Taoist master brought back then. My master once said to me: This stone is Sibin pumice, in ancient times it was the material for making magic weapons and artifacts, and it has basically disappeared, and the symbols on your drawings are very similar to the symbols engraved by the Taoist master back then! ”
Master Song looked at Hua Wenhao with deep meaning.
"Actually, it's nothing, this kind of stone is called a stone in traditional Chinese medicine, the so-called stone is a means of using this stone to cure diseases, but unfortunately this kind of stone is rare in modern times, resulting in fewer and fewer people who can use the stone to treat diseases, the Taoist priest you met when your master was a master of this way, and we have this method of using the stone to treat diseases in our family medicine, but there is no corresponding stone, and I also happened to encounter these stones!"
Hua Wenhao knew that he would not give up if he didn't satisfy the curiosity of this old master, and it wasn't a big deal, so he talked half-truthfully.
"I see!" Master Song was stunned, the mystery that had been trapped in his heart for decades was solved, and he was indescribably happy, and he did not have the slightest doubt about Hua Wenhao's words.
"This matter has been bothering me for decades, but I didn't expect it to finally be solved today!" Master Song let out a hearty laugh.
"Grandpa, what are you so happy about!"
A crisp female voice sounded at the staircase, Hua Wenhao is a flurry, why is this voice so familiar.
