Chapter 1108: Jade Carving Workshop
After killing his wife, Xu Wei was sentenced to death, and after many rescues from relatives and friends, it was not until the first year of Wanli that the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and he regained his freedom, at this time, he had been in prison for seven years.
After being released from prison, Xu Wei lived a deplorable life from then on, hated the dignitaries very much, wandered to Jinling, Shuntianfu, Xuanliao, and went to Xuanhua Mansion and other places outside the Saiwai Pass, and heard that Qi Jiguang went to Liao to find Li Chengliang, taught his son Li Rusong the art of war, and got acquainted with the Mongolian leaders.
In his later years, Xu Wei made a living by selling paintings, but never painted for the bureaucrats, and then he was a Dumen thanksgiving, and finally ended his life at the age of 73.
It can be said that Xu Wei was proud of the spring breeze in the early days of entering the shogunate, and the rest of his life was tragic and painful.
It has been more than ten years since Xu Wei was released from prison, but these short years cannot eliminate the depression and hatred in his heart.
As for why Xu Wei was in front of Lu Zigang's workshop, Chen Yi knew in some historical records that Lu Zigang might have known Xu Wei.
Because Xu Wei once wrote a poem praising Lu Zigang, called "Yong Narcissus Hairpin", "There is a little charm and Chen Miaochang, and there is no smoke and fire Dulan incense." Kunwu Peak is like the end of the south, and it is sad to nail Suzhou Luzigang. ”
"Chen Xiaoyou, why did you hear the news that Master Lu would not return today, so you are like this." At this time, seeing Chen Yi staying in place, the old man said with a smile.
Chen Yi hurriedly came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Old man, I heard that Master Lu's jade carving skills are superior to the crowd and are famous all over the world. So I came to visit. Now I hear the news. I was a little distracted for a moment. ”
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, you can't visit him, it's okay to visit his workshop first." The old man laughed and waved his hand.
"Oh, could it be that the old man could still let me enter the workshop, and I thought that you might have met Master Lu from the beginning. I didn't expect to guess right. Chen Yi said with some surprise.
Speaking of which, Xu Wei is also an admirable person, his suicide and killing his wife were recorded in a book in his later years, "Easy to get sick, kill Zhang and go to prison." ”
In ancient times, "Yi" means "hysteria", which is what we often call mental illness today, which means that he killed his wife in a state of mental disorder.
The southeast coast was frequently harassed by the Japanese pirates, and Xu Wei sharply attacked this with poetry. On the one hand, he devoted himself enthusiastically to the war against the Japanese, although he had no position. On several occasions, he changed into short clothes and ventured to the front line with the army to observe the situation, record the course of the battle, analyze the reasons for success or failure, and propose a strategy to the relevant officials to destroy the enemy.
Although he has never been lifted in his life, he has won the title of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty as a talent, and has made great achievements in calligraphy and painting.
"I praised Xiaoyou for being clever before, it's true, let's go, follow me into the workshop to watch one or two, and come to visit Master Lu tomorrow." With that, the old man put away the chessboard, stood up, and walked towards the door of the workshop.
Seeing this, Chen Yi took the chessboard into his hand, and asked the old man: "Old man, dare to ask the surname Gao." ”
"The name is just a code name, if you want, you can call me the old man Qingteng." Xu Wei waved his hand and smiled, and said indifferently, his words were full of desolation.
Hearing this, Chen Yi nodded slightly, since Xu Wei didn't want people to know, he didn't want to expose it.
If there is no accident, this old man will die tragically in eight years, Chen Yi feels that for Xu Wei, his heart is also full of some respect, and now that he has come to this world, he should let this old man spend his last good years.
With the top-level repair technique he has now, although he can repair many diseases in his body, even cancer, but he can't repair heart disease, all he can do is to find an opportunity to use Longyuan Shengxue to make this old man happy.
With Xu Wei's help, there will be no problem when he sees Lu Zigang, all he needs is to let Lu Zigang teach him the secret method of Kunwu Dao.
Soon, Xu Wei opened the door and beckoned Chen Yi to walk in, for the one qiē in the workshop, he had already used the identification technique to identify it before, and he knew it in his heart.
In this workshop, there are jade that have not yet been carved, jade that has been carved, and semi-finished products that have just been carved partially, but the Kunwu knife does not exist, and it must have been carried by Lu Zigang on his body.
Chen Yi followed Xu Wei into the courtyard, he was not curious about Xu Wei's key to the workshop, speaking of which Lu Zigang and Xu Wei's personalities were somewhat similar, Lu Zigang left his name on the jade carved for the emperor, which also meant to despise the powerful.
Of course, when Lu Zigang carved jade, Xu Wei should be avoided, no matter in anyone's records, there is no specific description of the Kunwu knife, which means that basically except for Lu Zigang himself, no one else has seen the Kunwu knife at all.
Under the leadership of Xu Wei, he first came to the room where Lu Zigang placed the jade, and through the previous identification, he already knew that the jade in this room, whether it was jade color, jade quality, or jade nature, belonged to the best things.
At the same time, it also proves that the legendary Lu Zigang's jade is exquisite, the jade color is not beautiful, the jade quality is not good, and the jade is not good.
I think that these jade stones were not purchased by Lu Zigang himself, but should have been given by dignitaries who wanted him to carve jade.
Subsequently, Chen Yi watched the semi-finished products and finished products carved by Lu Zigang, basically now Lu Zigang's skills have reached a very high level, completely reflecting its characteristics, empty and fine.
In the real world, the genuine Lu Zigang that he can see is only a few pieces of Liao Liao, but here, he has seen as many as seven or eight pieces, and if they are put in the real world, each one is worth more than 50 million.
"Chen Xiaoyou, I see that when you look at jade, you are engrossed, could it be that you have also studied jade." At this time, Xu Wei asked Chen Yi with curiosity.
Chen Yi smiled, "Jade has five virtues, benevolence, righteousness, ambition, bravery, clean, like a gentleman, naturally people love, Master Lu carved jade, each of which is ingenious, people are amazed, thank you for bringing me in, today is worth the trip." ”
As he spoke, Chen Yi arched his hand to Xu Wei again to thank him, without revealing his ability too much.
"Haha, you don't need to thank me, you played a game of chess with me, so you naturally have to reciprocate." Xu Wei said with a laugh.
Chen Yi nodded, and then said, "Old Qing, then I will say goodbye first, and come back tomorrow." ”
"Okay, Chen Xiaoyou go slowly, I won't send it." Xu Wei smiled and waved his hand at Chen Yi.
After slowly leaving Lu Zigang's workshop, Chen Yi showed emotion on his face, he didn't expect to come here today to look for Lu Zigang, but he didn't see the main master, but he saw Xu Wei, the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, which was worth the trip.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were countless people and scholars, but there were many, all of which were not as famous as Xu Wei's talent, which shows that Xu Wei's knowledge was high, and if he couldn't lift people in the examination, he might just not be suitable for the imperial examination.
It's just that according to some of his research on historical materials, Xu Wei should have gone home in the thirteenth year of Wanli, why is he still in Shuntianfu now, maybe the historical records are not accurate, or it is possible that he returned home and came to Shuntianfu again to find Lu Zigang to play.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Chen Yi smiled, no matter what, today I finally got some gains, integrated into this copy world, and encountered so many things, even Xu Wei, the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, saw it.
According to his evaluation of Xu Wei, his health level is already very low, and his heart is depressed, and his heart disease and the illness that fell when he was in prison are about to destroy his body.
All he could do was to restore some health for Xu Wei, maybe it would delay his death, maybe not, but he probably wouldn't be able to see it, and with his identification point, he would only be able to stay in the copy world for a few months.
Walking to the Biqu www.biquge.info Pavilion on Yushi Street, Chen Yi thought about it, first found an inn nearby to stay, and tomorrow morning, he went to Li Wensheng's house to treat his mother, as for Lu Zigang, anyway, he found a place where this guy lived, and Xu Wei introduced him, so there was no problem to see him later.
When looking for an inn nearby, he suddenly patted his head and forgot an important thing, the ancient household registration system was more strict than the real world.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was such a rule: all people who are far away from their place of residence must be issued by the local government department to a kind of official document such as a letter of introduction, a pass, etc., called a road guide.
If there is no guide, or if it does not conform to it, it is punishable according to the law, and this guide is actually proof of leaving the homeland.
It's like staying in an inn and tavern, not shouting like a TV series, Xiao Er, it's all over when you come to a room, and you must strictly register the road guide and all kinds of information, and even what you come here for, you have to register.
Chen Yi thought about it, it seems that tomorrow he will ask the pawnshop owner or Xu Wei to help him run a road guide, of course, the safest way is to buy a house here, after all, it will take a few months to live.
But now, he is not worried, whether it is ancient or modern, the role of money is infinite, and money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is not said in vain.
Finding an inn that looked pretty good nearby, Chen Yi slowly walked in, "Hey, this guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel." It seems that Chen Yi came in, and a guy with a towel on his shoulder at the inn hurriedly came up to greet him.
Chen Yi smiled, "Hit the tip and stay in the hotel." "When he came to this copy world, he hadn't tasted what the food in the inn of this era tasted like, and he didn't know if there was a gap with modern restaurants. (To be continued......)
