Boxwood, known as the gentleman among trees, grows slowly and has extremely fine wood. Li Yu, a writer in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties who once wrote "Meat Futon", once wrote in "Xian Qing Ou Ji": "One inch of boxwood per year, It is a destiny of heaven not to overflow even an inch, but to shrink even an inch in leap years." This means that the growth of this wood is difficult and it is difficult to become a large material. However, boxwood is the most suitable for fine carving, especially the works of art carved by the master. precious.
Sophie listened to the question from the young man in front of her and replied: "These were carved by Dany's father. It is considered a hobby of his."
Ximen Lang stood up, walked to the antique shelf, and carefully observed the statues. He saw that both the characters and animals were carved lifelike. It could be seen that Feng Shaofeng did have certain attainments in this.
Seeing that her lover seemed to be very interested in this, Feng Danni hurriedly stood up and walked over, asking with a smile: "Xiao Lang, my dad is quite talented, what do you think of these statues?"
Ximenlang smiled, nodded and said, "It's pretty good. But it looks like it has some shortcomings."
Feng Danni always thought that her father's carving skills were already perfect. When her boyfriend said this, she asked curiously: "What is missing?"
Ximen Lang smiled and said nothing. He picked up a piece of good raw material about thirty centimeters long in his left hand, then selected a carving knife and held it in his right hand. He turned back to the sofa and sat down. The boy looked at his future mother-in-law, He smiled and said: "Auntie, I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring you a gift. Just let me carve a statue for you as a gift."
Feng Danni had a look of surprise on her face, "What, you want to make a statue of my mother?"
Ximenlang asked: "What's wrong?"
Feng Danni came back and sat next to him and asked: "Xiao Lang, can you carve?"
Ximen Lang responded with a smile, "I know a little bit. My dad likes carving, so I followed him and learned a little bit."
Feng Danni said angrily: "You know a little bit but you still dare to do whatever you want. You have to know that even my father, with his high level, would not dare to make a statue of my mother easily."
Ximen Lang asked curiously: "Why?"
Feng Danni said: "Because he said that my mother was so beautiful. If she didn't have a very high standard, her appearance and temperament would not be reflected in the statue..."
Sophie waved her hand to prevent her daughter from continuing. She smiled and said: "That's because your father's craftsmanship is not good enough. Maybe Xiaolang's carving skills are much better than him. Xiaolang, don't listen to her, you carve for me." Let’s make a statue.”
Ximen Lang said modestly: "Auntie, my skills may not be as high as my uncle's, but let me try it and you can pose as you like."
Sophie followed the instructions and sat sideways on the sofa, with her legs together and slightly tilted, her hands folded and placed on her abdomen. Her breasts were tall and graceful. Coupled with her pretty three-dimensional face and noble temperament, she was very elegant.
Ximen Lang stared unscrupulously at his girlfriend's mother's face, swollen breasts, and even the graceful curves. He praised her: "Auntie is so beautiful, like a goddess, so charming!"
Sophie was secretly happy after hearing his praise, and a smile appeared on her face, which made her even more charming!
It was this expression of hers that Ximen Lang wanted. As his right hand shook, the carving knife fell on the boxwood material. The knife was like lightning, and he slashed on it. He used various techniques such as scratching, gouging, turning, and turning. Carving. The originally tough wood becomes as soft as tofu under his carving knife, allowing him to do whatever he wants.
Feng Danni thought to herself, this guy is really good at flattering! However, when she saw her boyfriend's sculpting skills, she was shocked.
More than once, Feng Danni had seen her father carving boxwood. It was a laborious process, with no room for error. Sometimes, after carving for a while, you had to think about it for a while before continuing. Normally, her father
It takes about a week to carve a piece of work. Look at this kid, he looks like a furry rabbit. This is not carving at all, he is clearly just scratching and carving!
Feng Danni was a little anxious, and a phantom appeared in her mind. Xiaolang's carved work looked quite like a person, but it was extremely ugly, with deformed facial features and out-of-shape figure. It was simply crude and ugly, and there was no sense of beauty at all...
Ximen Lang was not aware of his girlfriend's thoughts. The reason why he carved a statue for his girlfriend's mother was just to please her. After all, he had to stay here for a while, and it was especially important to have a good relationship with his girlfriend's family.
Time passed quietly, and as the prototype of the statue appeared, Feng Danni was surprised to find that her worries seemed to be unnecessary, and her boyfriend's craftsmanship seemed to be very good.
Gradually, the facial features took shape, and the sculpture of the head was basically completed. The knife moved downwards and began to carve the neck, shoulders and even chest...
Ximen Lang stared closely at his girlfriend's mother's breasts. With his excellent eyesight, he noticed the looming spots under the other's thin clothes. He swallowed involuntarily and reflected these subtle features on the statue. After the shape was revealed, his fingers were still there.
When I glanced over it, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Half an hour later, a boxwood statue appeared in Ximen Lang's hands, and he said with relief, "It's done!"
When the mother and daughter saw this perfect statue, they were both shocked. The statue was so lifelike that even the hair and eyebrows were clearly visible. What was even more amazing was that it completely depicted Sophie's facial expressions, including the corners of her mouth.
His faint smile and the faint expectant look in his bright eyes make people feel that this statue has vitality.
Sophie took the statue over, holding the treasure in her hands, and exclaimed, "It's amazing! Xiaolang, your carving skills are great. This gift is more precious to me than anything else."
Feng Danni was equally excited, "Mom, your posture and facial expression are also very good. It is much more beautiful than the Mona Lisa in the famous painting. This statue will also become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation..."
"What kind of thing dares to be called a masterpiece?" A man's majestic voice came from the door of the living room.
Ximenlang and others turned around and saw the head of the family, Feng Shaofeng, walking in with long strides. The Minister of Defense of YN, who was a soldier, walked vigorously.
Feng Danni said excitedly: "Dad, come and see, how does this statue look?"
Sophie smiled and said: "Shao Feng, look..."
Feng Shaofeng looked over with disapproval. In the field of boxwood carving, he already had a very high level, and other people's works were usually difficult for him to discern. However, when his eyes really touched the statue, he was stunned. Then he was stunned.
, the slightly gaffeful Minister of Defense hurriedly stepped forward, took the statue from his wife and looked at it repeatedly. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's a masterpiece, it's really a masterpiece..."
