"Mr. Chen, I remember that jade carving has to be learned from an early age. Do you think I am not suitable now that I am so old?" After a while, Li Yang said carefully. Until now, Li Yang
His face was full of disbelief.
Jade carving is a tedious technical job. It takes more than a day to learn it. It takes decades of hard work to become a famous jade carving master. Moreover, jade carving has very strict control over the knife skills. If the foundation is not laid down from an early age, it will be difficult to achieve success as an adult.
It will be very difficult to learn jade carving.
It is no exaggeration to say that starting to learn jade carving at the age of eighteen takes ten times more energy than starting at the age of eight. Not to mention that Li Yang is already twenty-five years old. It is indeed not a good time for him to learn jade carving at this time.
At that time, Li Yang really doubted whether Mr. Chen was deliberately joking with him again.
Mr. Chen waved his hand indifferently and said softly: "It doesn't matter, age is not a problem. Qiu Chuji, the founder of Beijing jade carving, also started learning after he became a Taoist priest!"
Li Yang sat there blankly again. He knew what Mr. Chen was talking about about Qiu Chuji. The leader of the Quanzhen Sect, whose Taoist name was Changchunzi, Qiu Chuji was not only a master of jade carving, but also a great writer. He was deeply loved by the Jin and Mongolian royal families at that time.
respect.
To this day, many jade carving families in Beijing still display the memorial tablets of Changchun masters. Qiu Chuji’s achievements in jade carving are indeed very great.
Moreover, Qiu Chuji became a Taoist priest at the age of nineteen. He became a Taoist priest for several years before he began to learn jade carving. Calculated according to time, the time when this master learned jade carving was really about the same age as Li Yang now, and the difference is within a few years.
The Qiu Chuji here is not the hero in martial arts novels, but a real legendary figure in history.
"Mr. Chen, you think so highly of me!"
Li Yang smiled bitterly. He had no objection to learning jade carving. Li Yang also wanted to carve what he wanted, but he was afraid that the final result would disappoint Mr. Chen. Li Yang knew his situation best.
Mr. Chen suddenly sat up straight, his face became a little serious, and he said slowly: "Xiao Li, I have met many people over the years, and no one is more talented than you. Believe me, I think
People's vision is not bad. If you are willing to learn, your future achievements may be higher than mine. If you really don't want to, I won't force you. I will still make things for you, but I hope you can think clearly!"
Mr. Chen's words made Manager Zhang feel dizzy again.
Li Yang has already ascended to the altar of stone gambling and became the number one person in the stone gambling world. Now Mr. Chen actually said that he has unparalleled potential in jade carving, and even said that Li Yang's future achievements can exceed
Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen is already the top master in jade carving. If he surpasses Mr. Chen, wouldn’t he be the number one in the world of jade carving? Thinking of this, Manager Zhang himself does not dare to think any further. The number one person in the gambling stone world and the number one person in the jade carving world
One person merged into one person, this kind of thing seems to have never happened before.
"Mr. Chen, I promise you, but don't put too much hope in me!"
Li Yang looked at Mr. Chen who was full of desire and nodded suddenly. When Li Yang nodded, Mr. Chen's face immediately showed a bright smile.
"Haha, okay, don't worry, I won't put any pressure on you. It's getting late. You are all hungry. Let's eat first and then talk after we finish eating!"
Mr. Chen seemed extremely excited. He stood up and took Li Yang to the restaurant, where a sumptuous dinner was really prepared.
Mr. Chen ate a lot in the evening. Although he was old, he had a good body and a large appetite. Among the jade carving masters, Mr. Chen had the best health.
Two days later, Li Yang left Jieyang. Manager Zhang went back a day early. He still had a lot of things to do in Pingzhou's business and couldn't stay here with Li Yang all the time.
The result of this trip was beyond Li Yang's expectation. He successfully asked Mr. Chen to come out again to help him carve birthday gifts, but he added a condition of learning jade carving from him. Li Yang didn't know what to do with this result.
Still bad.
When he left, Li Yang had another basic Tai Chi manual in his hands, which was written by Mr. Chen himself.
Mr. Chen's carving skills are based on Tai Chi, which is difficult for ordinary people to learn. Mr. Chen asked Li Yang to practice Tai Chi for two years first, and then come into contact with jade carving after he has a certain foundation. This made Li Yang slightly relieved.
.
If he starts learning now, Li Yang is really afraid that he will fail to learn and let this respected old man down.
…………
After returning to Beijing, Li Yang's life returned to its original state. The old man's birthday was confirmed to be held at Diaoyutai. The old man's children were taking care of the birthday matters and he did not need to worry about it.
After returning to Beijing for two days, Li Yang spent these two days with Wang Jiajia, except for a trip to the China Treasure Association to get the director's status.
The date of the two's engagement was also determined. On the third day after the old man's birthday, the two happy events came together, making everyone feel a strong festive atmosphere.
It was the third day after Li Yang returned to Beijing. It was the weekend. Li Yang got up from the villa and arrived at the gate of Yuquan Mountain early in the morning, waiting anxiously.
Returning to Beijing is like returning home. She should be more "sexually happy", but unfortunately Wang Jiajia is unwilling to stay in the villa overnight, and her family will not allow her to do so before she is engaged.
As a result, Li Yang has been in a state of hunger and thirst for the past few days since he came back. He wished he could take Wang Jiajia home in broad daylight and have some passion. Now he really misses his days in Myanmar.
"Buzz!"
Li Yang's cell phone suddenly vibrated, and then a pleasant ringtone rang. This ringtone was set by Wang Jiajia for him. Unfortunately, Li Yang was in a troubled mood at this time, so he picked up the phone and pressed the answer button without looking at the number.
"Which one?"
"I said you kid, why are you talking so irritably? Have you taken medicine? I'm He Jie!"
He Jie's voice came immediately from the other side of the phone. He Jie, who was holding the phone, was probably looking confused.
"Brother Jie, I didn't look at the number. What do you want from me at this time?"
Li Yang immediately changed his tone. Apart from the old man, this eldest brother was the person who helped him the most in Beijing. Li Yang owed a lot of favors, so his attitude should naturally be more modest.
"Do you have time today to go out with me to do some errands?"
He Jie's tone became much better, and he said slowly. The old man's birthday is getting closer and closer, and He Jie is not so anxious now. Let nature take its course, there is nothing he can do if he can't find a good birthday gift.
, Fortunately, there was an inscription that he and Li Yang jointly sent before, and it was not without some gains.
"Today, can we change it to another day?"
Li Yang's face immediately showed a miserable look. He planned to vent his anger today. Even if he was tricked and abducted, he still wanted to bring his wife home to have sex.
"No, it must be today!"
He Jie said firmly, Li Yang waved to Wang Jiajia who was walking this way, and said weakly to the phone: "Okay, where are you? I'll pick up Jiajia and go find you!"
"Don't come to me. I'll pick you up later. Are you at Yuquan Mountain?" He Jie, who was sitting in the office, looked up at the time and said immediately.
"Yes, that's it. If you want to come, hurry up. I don't like waiting for people for a long time!"
Li Yang was talking to the phone, but his eyes were looking at the beauty not far away. Wang Jiajia was wearing a pink coat today, her face was slightly red, and she had an indescribable sense of allure. Unfortunately, there was no chance today.
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting. I'll hang up first!" After He Jie said that, he hung up the phone, picked up the car keys and left the office.
In less than twenty minutes, He Jie's car arrived at the gate of Yuquan Mountain, which caused Li Yang to complain for a while. Li Yang said that he came early and should have arrived later. He was currently discussing with Wang Jiajia what to do after the engagement.
Wang Jiajia was moved by what he said about living together, but He Jie interrupted them inappropriately.
After hearing Li Yang's complaint, He Jie suddenly got angry and shouted loudly: "You guys, do you know why I came here so early and ran through several red lights? I was just afraid that you would be impatient, but you guy actually
Do you blame me for coming too early?"
"Brother Jie, don't be angry. I was just joking. Tell me, where should we go today?"
Li Yang hurriedly changed the subject and smiled. He Jie's face showed a little helplessness, but there was an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart. The relationship between him and Li Yang became more and more harmonious. Now
They look more like two brothers.
"Just follow me and you will understand when you get there!"
He Jie gave Li Yang an angry look, got into his car, started the car and left.
Li Yang hurriedly pulled Wang Jiajia into the car. This car was a new Land Rover he bought. It arrived when he went to Myanmar, and Zhao Yong and the others picked it up.
The old man's big red flag, Li Yang, has not been raised. The old man has a lot of things to do these days, and Li Yang has nothing serious to do, so the big red flag remains with the old man.
The two cars were driving fast, followed by a Mercedes-Benz. Zhao Kui and Haidong followed at a distance.
Looking at the car behind him, Li Yang wondered whether to buy a few more cars. Now that there are many people in the family, two cars are obviously not enough. His parents and brothers are coming, and they need at least one.
If you don’t have a car, it will be very inconvenient.
Ten minutes later, He Jie drove the car to a small stadium. There were many cars parked outside the stadium, and many people were walking inside, some of whom were holding many things in their hands.
"Brother Jie, what are you doing here? You can tell me now!"
After getting out of the car, Li Yang immediately grabbed He Jie and asked again. He was not unfamiliar with the things held by the people around him. Many of the things they held were antiques. He saw so many people holding antiques in this place. Li Yang
It really feels a bit surprising.
"CCTV's "Treasure Hunt" column is holding a large-scale treasure appraisal event here today. I want to try my luck one last time!" When they arrived at the place, He Jie finally revealed his purpose.
CCTV has been preparing for this large-scale treasure appraisal event for almost half a year. Thousands of people came to appraise the treasures, and more than a dozen experts were invited. In addition to appraisal, some of these private collectors also know how to appraise the treasures.
To sell his collection, He Jie went to Taobao here.
