After saying goodbye to the old man who was guarding the door, Chen Yi walked into the tall building facing the gate and walked in, which was a brightly lit hall.

In the hall, like a jewelry exhibition, there are some glass display cases, and in the display cases, there are beautiful and delicate jade objects, which become shining under the light.

In the cabinet next to him, there is a large bottle carved from white jade, and the ornament carved on it is a dragon, with teeth and claws in the jade, and a chain is connected to the lid of the jade bottle and the bottle body, which looks very white and delicate as a whole, and is very beautiful.

Chen Yi walked inside, and there were all kinds of jade objects in the hall, which was really like a jade exhibition.

There are jade tripods carved from green jade, in the statue of Guanyin, there are jade furnaces, jade ruyi, and some carvings of landscape figures, and even Chen Yi found a bamboo forest sage carved with agate in it.

The figures above, the cranes, and even the bamboo forest, are carved vividly, looking at this piece of exquisite jade, Chen Yi can't help but smile, this is probably the place where the Tianjing jade carving is used to display the works.

If the Lingzhou jade carving is elegant and beautiful in shape, light and elegant, and exquisitely clear, the characteristics of the jade carving in Beijing are the beauty of color and shape, the shape is simple and heavy, and it attaches great importance to the court art, and the jade carved out, each piece is full of royal luxury, which is different from the Lingzhou jade carving and other southern jade carvings.

"Sir, do you need anything, this is the exhibition and sales hall of our jade factory, and the jade objects on display in it. They are all hand-carved by our famous jade carving factory. Let you experience the mystery of Chinese culture in jade. It can be said to be an excellent item where value and art are combined. As Chen Yi walked forward slowly, watching the jade carvings, a young man in a suit came next to him.

Chen Yi came back to his senses, and immediately shook his head with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm here to participate in this jade carving competition, and I can't help but watch these jade carvings when I see them." ”

The young man in the suit smiled in surprise. Then he pointed inside, "Oh, sir, it turns out that you are here to participate in the jade carving competition, and the place where the report is reported is inside, please continue to walk inside." ”

"Thank you." Chen Yi smiled and nodded, still walking forward slowly, watching while using the intermediate identification technique. The techniques of these jade stones are identified.

Looking at Chen Yi's back, the young man in the suit couldn't help but show doubts on his face. He also knew that these days were the days when the jade carving competition was reported once every three years, and before that, he had also met some people who came to report, almost all of whom were young people about the same age as Chen Yi.

However, when these young people entered their exhibition and sales hall, some of them took a look and hurried forward, as if they had been stepped on by something, while some of them looked at these jades, showed disdain on their faces, snorted coldly, and then walked inside, ignoring these jades.

Like Chen Yi, who watched slowly and admired people, he hadn't seen a few people in the past few days.

Although I don't know what the level of Chen Yi is, but just based on his perception, this young man in a suit feels that Chen Yi must be much stronger than those who are nervous or arrogant.

Seeing this piece of jade, Chen Yi was sure that his previous guess was correct, and he set the location of the report here to show the superb level of Tianjing jade carving.

As long as there are people, there will be fights, even in the jade carving industry, like the antique shop, it is no longer a fight, but a place where fish and dragons are mixed, pit and abduction, anything can happen, and the people inside pull out one or two, which is definitely an acting character.

If this competition is held on the territory of other schools of jade carving, it will also be set up in the place that best represents the level of their jade carving, just like Tianjing jade carving, so that new disciples of other schools can see how good their jade carving is.

Walking out of the hall, there seems to be an office area behind it, on the wall, there is a hint arrow about the competition report, following the arrow, he came to one of the rooms, and there is a piece of paper posted on the door, which is a few big characters in the jade carving competition report.

Chen Yi slowly walked into the room, where there were already some people waiting for the report, and there was a table in the center of the room, and two staff members were sitting behind the table, checking the recommendation letters and invitations of the contestants, and checking them to register.

In addition to the two staff members, there was also a middle-aged man sitting next to him, picking up the contestant's recommendation letter from time to time and asking a few questions.

Seeing that there were only five or six people waiting in line, Chen Yi smiled, stood at the back of the line, and heard the voice of the report coming from the front, it seemed that the two people who were reporting in front of the table at this time belonged to the Yangzhou jade carving school.

Although jade carving is now mainly divided into four major schools, some schools are located in too broad areas, forming branches, just like Yang school jade carving, according to the name of the place can be divided into Yangzhou jade carving and Suzhou jade carving, and this jade carving competition fixed participating schools are the genre branches of these various places.

"Little brother, which jade carving sect are you, why did you come alone." When Chen Yi was listening to the report in front of him, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder, and then a voice with a strong local flavor of the Central Plains came.

Fortunately, Chen Yi's hometown is in the Qinling Mountains, and it can be said that it is very close to the Central Plains, otherwise, he really can't understand, he turned his head and saw an uncle in his thirties and forties.

"Uncle, how do you know that I am a person, and you are also here to participate in the jade carving competition." Chen Yi couldn't help but ask a little strangely, if this uncle really came to participate in the competition, then he only started to learn jade carving at the age of thirty or forty, which is really a little late, and this uncle's dress is very simple, just a white shirt that has been washed a little yellow, with a smile on his face, and he looks approachable.

"Ha Luha, little brother, the three people in front of you are obviously in a group, so you can naturally see that you are alone, in addition, I am not here to participate in the competition, I am sending three junior brothers over." The uncle laughed and said.

Chen Yi glanced to the side, and saw that several young people next to the uncle were helpless, and they didn't seem to have any way to know their senior brother's self-acquaintance.

Just as Chen Yi was about to answer the uncle's question, a question suddenly came from the front, which couldn't help but attract their attention.

"There is an invitation letter, three letters of recommendation, aren't you three people, why is there one person missing, your name is Qian Weiguo, your name is Sun Kaihua, so what about this Zhou Xiulong, why didn't he come." The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk looked at their information and ID cards, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

The two people hesitated for a moment, and then one of them said, "Ahem, that, Senior Brother Zhou is not feeling well, let's report for him first." ”

"If you are not feeling well, hehe, tell him that within ten minutes, if he does not come in person, he will be disqualified." The middle-aged man glanced at the two of them, and understood what was going on, and immediately said in a stern tone, he was not feeling well, he thought that the jade carving level was profound, and he was invincible in the world, he had seen a lot of such people.

Saying that, the middle-aged man looked at the information and smiled coldly, this week Xiulong is the apprentice of a famous jade carving master in Yangzhou Jade Factory, no wonder he is so arrogant.

The two hurriedly said, "Let's inform Senior Brother Zhou immediately, wait a minute." ”

"For your sake, delay the normal report, it's impossible, take your information away, and Zhou Xiulong will come later, and then report again." The middle-aged man said lightly, and then pushed the information reported by the two people directly aside.

The two of them wanted to cry without tears, took the information, and hurriedly walked to the side to call Zhou Xiulong to inform him.

And a young man in front of Chen Yi smiled coldly, "Zhou Xiulong, this guy can't change his pretending problem anywhere, this time it's a shame, and I want to thank him for saving us time." ”

"Hello, Senior Brother Wu, we are Suzhou jade carving." As he spoke, the young man and the other two stepped forward and handed the information to the middle-aged man.

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's originally serious face, "Oh, you know me." ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Wu, I saw you when you followed Zhu Lao to the Suzhou Jade Factory last year." The young man nodded and said respectfully.

"Oh, that's it, this is your information, Zheng Lilin, it turns out that you are a disciple of Old Feng of Suzhou Jade Factory, and his old man is okay." The middle-aged man looked at the information and asked Zheng Lilin with a smile.

Zheng Lilin hurriedly replied: "Well, my master is in good health, thank you Senior Brother Wu for your concern, the two people next to me are also in the jade carving industry in Suzhou, one of them is my junior brother, and the other is from a craft shop in Suzhou." As he spoke, he also introduced the identities of the two people next to him to the middle-aged man.

Seeing the obviously changed attitude of the middle-aged man, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, Zhou Xiulong, who was a jade carving in Yangzhou, was really not as smart as Zheng Lilin, one had an arrogant attitude, the other had a respectful attitude, and the treatment he received was also very different.

"Well, so that's the case, Xiao Zheng, let's report first, and we'll communicate when we're done." The middle-aged man smiled, didn't talk to Zheng Lilin too much, and then asked the staff next to him to register the three of them, and gave each of them a room card for a nearby hotel, and asked them to take the room card to the hotel front desk to register their ID cards and check in for free.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wu, this is a four-star hotel, Tianjing Jade Factory is different." Zheng Lilin looked at the room card, and then said with some surprise.

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, the hotel arranged by Tianjing Jade Carving this time was the one he stayed in, which was really a coincidence, but this Zheng Lilin's ass was too loud.

"Sycophants." Chen Yi suddenly heard the uncle behind him scolding in a subtle voice.

Chen Yi turned his head and glanced at the uncle, shook his head and smiled, and when he saw him turn his head, the uncle seemed to think of something, "By the way, little brother, you haven't said which jade carving sect you are." (To be continued......)
