"After carving, it's a very beautiful jade ball, and it's in my cabinet!

Although my old Zhang has been an electric communication practitioner all his life, he draws horizontally and vertically, and he doesn't know anything about those ethereal arts. But the jade ball carved by my son, I look at it well!

The cloud, the horse, with it, I feel like a fairy at a glance! I think it's much better than the objects in the museums I've been to in Beijing! ”

Although it was Lao Tzu praising his son's work, Zhang Jin's father was not modest and spared no effort to praise the jade ball that was difficult to find in the sky and hard to find on the ground! No words of praise are spared.

It's also a shame that Zhang Jin's father is an engineer, not a writer. Otherwise, he may really be emotionally agitated and come up with a beautiful 'Jade Ball Fu'.

Mr. Xu, who was born in art, naturally had deep doubts about Zhang Jin's father's ability to appreciate art. Just like Zhang Jin's father said, these engineers pay attention to horizontal and vertical, precise angles, and artistic beauty that has nothing to do with them.

And Zhang Jin's father will feel that his son's works are incomparable, who knows if he loves the house and Wu? Isn't there a saying that says?

#全是别人的好, children are their own good. ，

Although at least 8% of what Zhang Jin's father said, Mr. Xu is still very interested in Zhang Jin's works.

In the past few days, this old man often thinks of Zhang Jin, who was sitting on the garden chair that morning, and his appearance was exquisite.

What kind of work will that harmony that is close to Tao produce?

Others don't know about that state of being in a state of being in a state of concentration, but this old man is rare until that state.

Because Old Man Xu has been thinking about this for a few days, if he wasn't afraid of disturbing Zhang Jin's creative inspiration, this old man would have come to the door long ago.

Therefore, now that he heard Zhang Jin's father say that the work has been completed, Mr. Xu immediately couldn't wait.

"Oh, it's already carved! Let's go, go to your house and have a look! ”

As he spoke, Old Man Xu stood up in a hurry, wanting to pull his father, who had just sat down and stacked cards, to get up.

Although Zhang Jin's father had just sat down, he was about to leave before he even reached a handful of cards, and he was a little reluctant. But he couldn't bear Old Man Xu's resolute attitude, and Zhang Jin's father was actually happy to show off his son's achievements.

So, after muttering a few words in the end, Dad stood up half-pushed and half-pushed and led Old Man Xu to his house.

There is never a shortage of people in the activity center for the elderly, playing chess, playing cards, watching chess, and watching cards. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Jin's father and Mr. Xu got up and left the table, two old men and old ladies who had been waiting for a long time filled the vacant seats. Continue to yard, touch, fall, touch, hit・・・・・・

After entering the house, Zhang Jin's father took Mr. Xu straight through the foyer and into the living room.

"Look, that jade ball is it." After pulling Mr. Xu to stand in front of the ornament cabinet on the side of the TV cabinet in the living room, Zhang Jin's father pointed to the glass panel of the ornament cabinet and said.

After pointing out the location of the jade ball to Old Man Xu, Zhang Jin's father felt a little urgent. He hurriedly greeted, 'You look at it first, and then hurriedly went into the bathroom.'

When Zhang Jin's father came out of the bathroom more than a minute later, he saw the old man who had already put on reading glasses, still standing motionless in front of the cabinet like a wax figure. After staring at the glass panel, the jade ball on the shelf was in a daze.

The expression on his face was strange with a sense of ease, a kind of enjoyment, a kind of intoxication. It's like a drug addict who gets a shot in the face. It's like being blind for a long time, and when you suddenly regain your sight, you can climb up and look into the distance and see the beautiful scenery from a bird's eye view.

The old man's stiff appearance, his excited expression fell in the eyes of Zhang Jin's father, which suddenly made Zhang Jin's father startled, and thought that this old brother Xu had committed some kind of hysteria.

hurriedly walked over, patted Old Man Xu on the shoulder and greeted: "Old Xu, what's wrong with Old Xu?" You okay? ”

Facing the old man Xu who was in a daze, he called for a long time, and even Zhang Jin's father planned to dial 120, and the old man Xu finally came back to his senses.

As soon as Old Man Xu came back to his senses, he immediately said to Zhang Jin's father with eager eyes: "Old Zhang, can you take it out for me to see?" ”

The old man's posture was extremely low when he spoke, and his tone was pleading, as if he was afraid that Zhang Jin's father would refuse.

Zhang Jin's father, who had never seen Old Man Xu in such a posture, was stunned for a moment, and then said in a daze: "Oh, good." Absolutely! ”

After Zhang Jin's father finished speaking, he opened the unlocked glass door, grabbed it casually, took out the jade ball about the size of a **-year-old child's fist, and handed it to Old Man Xu.

Seeing Zhang Jin's father's indifferent appearance, Old Man Xu was anxious, "Oh, you light." Be careful! ”

Seeing that Old Man Xu took it with his hands carefully, his hands were so heavy that he was afraid of breaking, and his hands were light for fear of falling, as if he was walking on thin ice, Zhang Jin's father couldn't help but smile on his face.

"It's not that expensive, the master of Jianyu said. This stone can be bought for a dozen yuan at most. If you fall, you fall! ”

The old man Xu, who had the jade ball in his hand, didn't have time to take care of Zhang Jin's father, so he carefully placed the jade ball in the palm of his left hand, and turned it at a very slow speed with his right hand, while looking at every detail by himself, while his mouth continued to praise him.

The raw material for carving this jade ball is a piece of jade stall worth only a dozen yuan. This piece of jade is not only not transparent, but the color of the jade is also extremely uneven, and almost every place inside and outside the jade is filled with dense, sparse or dense white silk mist like cotton wool.

In the eyes of ordinary people who know how to appreciate jade, maybe this is a waste stone, useless.

But Zhang Jin relied on his incredible ideas and incredible carving to make use of this dense silk-like line and carve a jade ball that can be called ingenious!

This is a jade ball without a base, with a global surface and a round body!

The outermost layers of filamentous white floc are cut off or depicted by Zhang Jin in the technique of relief, and become full of movement, just like the dense clouds blown by the breeze, which is vivid.

In the gaps of the outer clouds and mist, Zhang Jin dug deeper, and used the method of engraving and picking to carve the inside of the jade ball again, carving clear or thick clouds and mist, as well as a knight who loomed in the clouds and mist.

a galloping horse with only one horse's head and half of its body exposed in the clouds; A knight sitting upright on horseback with a vague figure.

Although the horses and knights were only half-exposed because of the clouds. Even the faces of people and horses are obscured by clouds and mist, and they are blurred. However, the stretching and freehand posture of the galloping horse, and the dusty and ethereal temperament of the knight are vividly expressed.

The knight gallops in the clouds, this is a fantasy!

Immortal works are never known for their beauty in form, but their verve is what will keep them through the ages.

Only by making works with verve can one be called a master. And those who can only create tangible, godless works can only be called "painters," "stonemasons," and "stonemasons."

And this jade ball, her charm is obviously almost dazzling.

Her charm is just like what Zhang Jin's father said - there is a fairy spirit!

When people see this horse and this knight, their first feeling is, 'Only immortals have this kind of temperament!'

Old Man Xu held the jade ball in his hand and spun it around in circles. Attentive eyes looked through the thick reading glasses, looking at texture by texture.

It wasn't until Old Man Xu stared at the knight in the jade ball for the tenth or eleventh time that he finally noticed something unusual. When Old Man Xu found out that even if he put his glasses on the jade ball, he couldn't really see it, Old Man Xu was anxious.

Under the natural light by the window and the indoor light, I tossed for a while, and found that the area I was concerned about was still blurry.

Old Man Xu had to come to Zhang Jin's father, who was already watching TV, and carefully put the jade ball on the coffee table in front of Zhang Jin's father.

"Lao Zhang, I'll put the jade ball here first! I went home to get a magnifying glass and was back soon. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Xu showed the speed of Bolt, who had never been exposed in front of the old brothers, and ran out.

Before Zhang Jin's father could react, Old Man Xu had already appeared in front of Zhang Jin's father again.

"I said Lao Xu, you can have legs and feet! At your speed, let alone Bolt, even Cao Cao is not as fast as you! ”

Zhang Jin's father's heart is full of admiration, it is simply a mountain looking up.

When he returned home, he put on a pair of white gloves and held a magnifying glass in his hand, and Old Man Xu turned a deaf ear to Zhang Jin's father's ridicule, walked quickly to the coffee table, and carefully picked up the jade ball again.

Using a magnifying glass to aim at the jade ball, the flowing clouds with fine lines behind the galloping horse, adjusted the position of the light several times before stopping.

From the magnifying glass, it can be seen that the wisps of flowing clouds are very natural and harmoniously put together into several official books that are not eye-catching, but if you look closely, they are also vaguely arguable.

Just by virtue of the processing of this flowing cloud Tibetan character, it is already extremely ingenious.

After carefully distinguishing for a while, and after confirming that it was correct, Old Man Xu read word by word: "'Broken Void, Xiaolou Master, Zhang Jin!'" ”

Old Man Xu's words made Zhang Jin's father finally remember the name he felt strange and had completely forgotten, and hurriedly echoed and said: "Yes, yes, my Xiaojin said that this jade ball is called this name!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Jin's father also came over and looked into the magnifying glass, "Yo, it turns out that there are still words here!" I'll take a look, 'Shattered Void, Little House Master・・・・・・"

"'Broken Void, is the name of this jade ball,' Zhang Jin, is the name of my kid, this' Xiaolou master, what is it?"

"Yes! It should be your family's Xiaojin number. The surname is Zhang, the name is Jin, and the number is 'the owner of the small building,! ”

Even when he crooked his mouth and whispered as if he was explaining to Zhang Jin's father. Old Man Xu's eyes were still full of admiration, staring at the jade ball in his hand, his eyes were not even instantaneous.
