"Elder Xu, since it is a blessing to meet me, why rush for a while, what does it matter if you stay for a few more days, I still have many things I want to ask you for." Chen Yi said with a smile, this Xu Wei does have something worth learning from him.

Otherwise, it would never be possible to be among the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty as a talent, and was admired by many literati, calligraphers and painters in later generations.

Lu Zigang nodded and agreed, "Senior Brother Wen, it is not easy for us to meet Little Brother Chen, and we will inevitably have some regrets when we meet and part, so it will be harmless to stay for a few more days." ”

"Old Xu, Master Lu and I have both spoken and stayed together, if you still leave, it will be regardless of friendship." Chen Yi made up for it again.

Xu Wei looked at Chen Yi, then at Lu Zigang, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll stay for a while, you, I'm an old man, and I can't work, it's really useless to keep me." ”

"Elder Xu's words are wrong, although your body is not as good as that of young people, the knowledge in your mind is as deep as the sea." Chen Yi smiled, he also wanted to do his part to make Xu Wei's old age better.

"Haha, Chen Xiaoyou, if you had said that earlier, I wouldn't have left a long time ago." Hearing Chen Yi's praise, Xu Wei laughed and said that after meeting Chen Yi, it really made his mood better.

After that, the three of them exchanged casually while eating, and Chen Yi also communicated with Lu Zigang about two jade carving problems, so to speak, completed the first step of contact with Lu Zigang.

Just like the plan he had made based on Lu Zigang's personality before, for a person like Lu Zigang who was extremely proud, he used his strength. It is the best stepping stone. In particular, he has advanced jade carving skills. If you don't use it, but use some ordinary methods to get in touch, you won't be able to get to know Lu Zigang as quickly as you are now.

Of course, the biggest factor in his acquaintance with Lu Zigang is Xu Wei, if it weren't for Xu Wei's introduction, it is estimated that he would not even be able to enter the door, let alone take out the jade.

Now I know Lu Zigang. It's just the first step in the long march, if you want him to teach the secret method of the Kunwu knife in person, you still need to use other means to achieve it, you can't know Lu Zigang now, so you just rush up and say that you want to learn the secret technique of his Kunwu knife.

After eating, the three of them returned to the jade carving workshop, Chen Yi picked up the jade that had not yet been roughly carved, and continued to carve, while Lu Zigang and Xu Wei were still watching from the side. It's just that I take a break from time to time.

About halfway through the afternoon, Chen Yi's rough carving work was finally completed. The next fine carving needs to be more careful, and it is also a test of the level of the jade carver.

The rough carving is only to carve the outline of the jade, and the purpose of the fine carving is to further fine the jade carving shape, so that the decoration of the table xiàn from the outline state to become more real and more exquisite.

Unconsciously, at about six o'clock in the afternoon, that is, the unitary hour, Xu Wei said to Chen Yi: "Chen Xiaoyou, it's already six o'clock in the unitary hour, let's carve it tomorrow." ”

Looking at the sky outside, Chen Yi nodded lightly, even with modern machinery, it will take a day to complete this jade wall carving, plus polishing and trimming, I'm afraid two days is not enough.

Using ancient tools, it took a whole day to carve Chen Yi to complete about half of the rough carving and fine carving.

"Old Xu, Master Lu, I'm very sorry, I have some things to deal with tomorrow morning, if I can come back, I will continue to carve in the afternoon." After Chen Yi stood up, he arched his hand to the two of them and said.

Tomorrow he will need to attend an antiques party with the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, and I am afraid it will take at least a morning.

Xu Wei smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, this jade carving is not a day's work, you can deal with things with peace of mind." ”

Lu Zigang also nodded slightly, from the carving of this day, he had already identified with Chen Yi and placed him on the same level, although he was arrogant, he was not arrogant to the point of having no eyes.

Subsequently, after Chen Yi accompanied Lu Zigang and Xu Wei to eat in the tavern, he rushed back to the place where the pawnshop was located in a carriage and found an inn nearby to stay.

After all, tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock will be on your way to the antique hangout, so staying near a pawnshop is the most suitable option.

However, there are many people in this inn, even if it is a room with a heavenly number, there will be some noise, so it is better to buy a house as soon as possible, and if the calligraphy is sold tomorrow, he will have the money to buy a house.

In the inn, Chen Yi still did not give up writing calligraphy, he wanted to improve his calligraphy level as much as possible, and then reach the level of being able to enter the world of Wang Xizhi's copy.

Compared with learning jade carving from Lu Zigang, learning calligraphy with Wang Xizhi is more of a dream, even if Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting can't be brought out in that copy world, just looking at it is estimated to be enough to make all calligraphers feel satisfied.

The calligraphers of the Chinese dynasties, except for the Tang Dynasty and those before them, have probably seen the Song Dynasty and the subsequent dynasties, and have never seen Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting.

What's more, he also has a materialization function, which can materialize Wang Xizhi's authentic works and copy and learn, which is his greatest reliance.

From the copy world of Lu Zigang of Kunwu Dao to the copy world of Wang Xizhi of Wang Xizhi's true works, it is enough to see that if you want to enter the copy world where a certain person is, you need to have a specific item of this person, and I am afraid that the value of the item cannot be low.

It's like Lu Zigang's copy world, he got the jade cup carved by Lu Zigang worth more than 50 million, but he couldn't enter the copy world, and he could only enter it if he got the Kunwu knife.

However, he also has a lot of precious items, such as Zhang Fei's recipes, Huaxia Zhibao Li Zhu, as well as Chai Rong's handwritten secret method of making zuò in a firewood kiln, and Michelangelo's Genesis sketch manuscript.

It's just that these things are stored in the Chinese Museum and exhibited from time to time, so after he leaves Lu Zigang's copy world, he will go to Tianjing to experiment one by one.

After writing a piece of calligraphy, Chen Yi lay down on the bed and fell asleep gently, the ancient night was silent, there was no noise, no noise, only some insect cries in the bushes and grass next to it.

The next day, Chen Yi got up early and still practiced Tai Chi in his room, which he must do every day.

When it was almost seven o'clock, he finished washing and headed towards Xinglong Pawnshop, fortunately he had a materialization function, and he could materialize the toothbrush and toothpaste, otherwise, it would be really inconvenient to use ancient washing tools.

In the preparation work before coming to the dungeon world, Chen Yi bought a lot of food and some other supplies, as for daily necessities such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, he did not buy them, after all, the materialization function is so convenient, it will disappear directly after use, and it is saved to put it in the storage space.

Walking on the streets, the surrounding area can be described as sparsely populated, which is completely different from the modern city, where the crowd is crowded at six or seven o'clock in the morning.

Before coming to the Xinglong pawnshop, the shopkeeper Xu was already waiting in front of the door, and beside him, there was a carriage, through the previous communication, he knew that the pawnshopkeeper's surname was Xu, and his name was Rongxuan.

"Chen Gongzi, you're here, it's really tiring you." Seeing Chen Yi, the shopkeeper Xu showed a look of surprise on his face, and he was also worried that Chen Yi would be like other dissolute literati.

"No, let Shopkeeper Xu suffer." Chen Yi waved his hand and smiled.

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Shopkeeper Xu showed a thick smile on his face, "Chen Gongzi, without further ado, let's get in the car, I have already put your calligraphy in the car." ”

Chen Yi nodded, got into the carriage with Shopkeeper Xu, and then the carriage went forward.

"Chen Gongzi, this is your calligraphy." In the carriage, Shopkeeper Xu pointed to a delicate box and said.

Chen Yi glanced at it, and immediately smiled, just this exquisite box is worth more than ten taels of silver, "There is a lot of trouble for the shopkeeper." ”

"Haha, this is as it should be, in fact, this box is just a decoration, the most important thing is the calligraphy inside, that is the most amazing thing." Shopkeeper Xu laughed heartily, this calligraphy, he did not let these sons of the family who attended the party to see it, but he dared to guarantee that after these people saw the calligraphy, they would be as shocked as him.

Even if these sons of families have nothing to do on weekdays, but under the influence of the family, they also have a certain appreciation for things such as calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy, and write a good hand, which is probably something that every literati needs to do, let alone these sons from families.

Wang Xizhi has a supreme position in the minds of Chinese literati, and there are two climaxes in history to learn from Wang Xizhi, one during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, and the other during the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

After this, the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties all respected the two kings of Jinzong, and all of them took refuge in Wang Xizhi.

Along the way, Chen Yi and Xu shopkeepers continue to communicate, understanding some of the Ming Dynasty antique collections, and now most of the sons of the family collect antiques, the types of preferences are some famous calligraphy, painting and jade, which can be said to be similar to modern times.

It's just that some people in ancient times liked calligraphy and painting, and they wanted to appreciate it seriously and get some artistic conception and skills from it, while the modern collection of calligraphy and painting is nothing more than treating these paintings and calligraphy as window decorations.

The speed of the carriage was not very fast, and after walking on the road for about an hour, at finally, at about eight o'clock, they arrived at the place where the antique party was held. (To be continued......)
