"Master, I admire you, I admire you. You must have incurred a lot of love debts when you were young..." Young Master Tang smiled.
"That's, I think back then, I... go and go, you are a little kid, what are you asking for? The trick the master gave you will definitely work, and the effect of keeping it is much better than if you ruined this Minghuang Jadeite." Mr. Xing said.
.
"Yeah, master is right. It's really a good idea to choose different materials according to the different characteristics of each of them. I still have the best blood jade here, and the best black jade is bigger. As for the banned mutton-fat jade, I have it on hand.
There is a piece on top, but it seems a bit small." Mr. Tang nodded repeatedly.
"Small? How big is it?" Mr. Xing asked.
"A little bigger than a thumb." Mr. Tang replied.
"The size of a thumb is just right for carving figures. It doesn't even need to be divided. It's the best material!" said Mr. Xing.
"But..." Young Master Tang was hesitant. This piece of jade was given to him by Tang Ruyan. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to just carve it into Yun Changshang and give it away?
"What else?" Mr. Xing asked.
At that moment, Young Master Tang told the story of the mutton-fat jade...
"What? You idiot, it was given to you by someone else. Of course you can't re-gift it, otherwise you won't know how sad it will be if that girl finds out." Mr. Xing shook his head.
"What should we do?" Young Master Tang scratched his head and asked. He finally thought of such a top-notch attention. You can't stop doing it just because of this...
"Idiot, didn't you say there is a jade mine in Xinjiang? There are jade mines, but you are afraid that you can't find the best mutton-fat jade?" Mr.
means...
"Oh, yes, yes, I also have a jade vein and a diamond mine. There must be the materials I need there." Mr. Tang nodded quickly.
"You are really a rich man. You are a jade and diamond mine. If you can accept you as my apprentice, I will have no shortage of carving materials in my life. This guy, Old Tang, has only done serious work in my place a few times.
The apprentice recommended this time is quite good, I like it, haha..." Mr. Xing laughed.
Young Master Tang wiped cold sweat after hearing this. His master really didn't shy away from what he said, but hasn't Mr. Tang done a few serious things? I think Mr. Tang is quite serious...
"Serious? Forget it, there are some things we can't say, otherwise this old guy will definitely get angry and smash my stall." When Mr. Xing heard this, he originally wanted to reveal some shocking inside story, but after thinking about the consequences, he shook his head...
Young Master Tang was itching to hear this, but looking at Mr. Xing's expression of refusing to say anything, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head...
"Come here, let me show you how large ornaments are carved. The more knowledge you have, the easier it will be for you to learn in the future." Mr. Xing stood up and said.
"Large ornaments?"
"Well, some time ago, your brother took on a big job for me and sent me a large piece of jade. He asked me to carve out an ornament. He said it was to be placed in the living room as a decoration. It must have artistic conception. Your third senior brother and I have the artistic conception.
I have been busy for several days, and now I have just made the beginning and produced the renderings." Mr. Xing said with a smile.
"Huh? You mean Brother Wang?" Young Master Tang asked doubtfully.
"Well, who else could we have besides him? This order is not small, and the labor cost alone is 300,000 yuan. But he also suffered a loss. This fully carved jade ornament must be much more valuable than his original piece of jade, haha
." Mr. Xing laughed.
When Young Master Tang heard this, he was secretly grateful. After he became a disciple, he only thought about learning. He didn't expect that his master and third senior brother also had to eat, drink, and have sex. He didn't solicit some profitable business for them. Instead, Wang
I feel so ashamed when I think about it...
"You're gone, you're still giggling there, you're really worthless..." When Mr. Xing walked up to Shi Yan, he saw that Shi Yan was still staring at the top-notch Smurf, and immediately hit him on the head...
…
Shi Yan felt aggrieved and touched the place where he was knocked. After all, he was already in his thirties and not a child. Why did Master still knock me on the forehead like he did when he was a child?
After all, in front of my junior brother, I didn’t save any face...
Entering the workshop, Young Master Tang saw the jade ornament at a glance. Now this jade is just a huge stone, but the rendering is right in front of Young Master Tang. Looking at the rendering, and then looking at this
With jade like a small mountain, Young Master Tang actually fell into a strange situation...
Just like yesterday, the entire jade stone appeared in Young Master Tang's mind...
Yesterday, Mr. Tang had a piece of wood in his mind. He first analyzed the texture and internal conditions of the wood, and then thin lines appeared, and he cut it, and finally formed a rabbit!
But today is different from yesterday...
After the jade stone appeared in Young Master Tang's mind, a figure suddenly appeared in Young Master Tang's mind. Holding a knife in his hand, he slowly walked towards the jade stone. This figure had his back to Young Master Tang.
He looks familiar, but I can't remember who he is...
But Young Master Tang recognized the knife in his hand at a glance. It was his own Kunwu cutting jade knife...
Who is this person, and how does he hold his own Kunwu jade-cutting knife?
After the man walked to the jade stone, he paused for a moment, then raised the Kunwu jade-cutting knife with his right hand and slashed it, leaving a trace of white line in the air...
For a moment, the jade powder in Young Master Tang's mind was splashing everywhere. From the first strike, his hand never stopped. He was like a peerless swordsman. A knife could not be splashed by the swung water.
The sky is full of knife shadows...
I don't know how long it took, maybe a second, maybe an hour, or a day, the man suddenly put away his knife, looked back at Young Master Tang, and disappeared in an instant...
At that moment, Tang Dashao saw this person's face, and suddenly he realized that he had seen this person too many times. Every time his soul traveled through time and space, he would see him carving...
This person is Lu Zigang...
After Lu Zigang disappeared, the jade stone in Young Master Tang's mind had already taken shape. An earth-yellow hill with a lush green pine tree on it looked like a hill that had been shrunk countless times. It was natural and harmonious in his mind.
The picture that appeared was more perfect and natural than the renderings made by Xing Lao and Shi Yan!
"Tang Fei, Tang Fei, what's wrong with you? Why are you so stunned?"
Shi Yan came in from behind and saw Mr. Tang staring blankly at the jade in front of him, motionless. He couldn't help but frown, what's wrong with this guy?
"Ah, Third Senior Brother, I'm fine, I'm fine. I just thought of something and was in a trance..." Young Master Tang said hurriedly.
He knew that he seemed to be immersed in it again...
This kind of thing has happened countless times, and Wang Jun and the others are all used to it...
"Thinking about things? Haha, you are really attentive. It's good to have this attitude. In sculpture, you must have this rigorous attitude to achieve success!" Shi Yan patted Mr. Tang on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Haha, thank you third senior brother for your teaching." Young Master Tang nodded gently.
"Haha, why are you so polite? Come, take a look at the renderings designed by Master and I. This is just one side, and there are three others. You can also take a look and see if there is anything unsatisfactory that needs to be changed?" Shi Yan laughed.
road.
Of course, he said the changes were just polite words. These four sides add up to the overall rendering of the entire jade sculpture. This was designed by him and his master after spending several days. Now,
They just want to show off in front of Young Master Tang. Naturally, they don’t expect Young Master Tang to really make any changes to their works...
"There are three more pictures? Third brother, can you show them to me?" Young Master Tang said softly.
"You want to see it? Of course, no problem, go get it..." Shi Yan nodded.
"Tang Fei, come and take a look. The base of this jade ornament has been roughly formed. The main part has not been carved yet. You can see that there is no emerald green on it. Don't think that the existence of these emerald greens has affected the entire jade and turned it into variegated colors.
Jade, sometimes, variegated jade has charm that those solid-colored jade cannot match.”
"For example, the green bamboo you gave to the old general is strictly speaking variegated jade, and so is the jade cabbage."
"In Changhua, Zhejiang, there is a kind of stone called bloodstone. This stone is very magical and very suitable for making seals. You are a collector, so you should know a lot about bloodstone, right? Wucuo Novel Network has a lot of words."
Mr. Xing said.
"Well, chicken blood stone is from Changhua, Zhejiang Province. Chicken blood stone, along with Shoushan stone and Tianhuang stone, enjoys the reputation of China's "four major national stones". It is one of the most suitable materials for making seals." Young Master Tang nodded.
The private seal of Qianlong's "Old Man Shiquan" that Mr. Tang holds is carved with blood-filled chicken blood stone.
"Well, you only know that this chicken bloodstone can be used to make seals, but you don't know that this chicken blood stone is also one of the best materials for carving ornaments. More than ten years ago, your master and I saw a top-quality variegated chicken blood stone.
, there are three sides, but the colors of these three sides are different, they are red, black, and white, which are clearly distinct."
"Someone is setting up a stall to sell bloodstones. Everyone knows that the more blood the bloodstone has, the more valuable it is. However, that piece of variegated jade is only about one-third of the blood color and sells for a high price. How can anyone be willing to buy it? Just among everyone
When they all looked down on it, it was bought by one person. Later, everyone regretted it and said they had missed the treasure." Mr. Xing sighed, he was also one of the people who missed the treasure back then...
"Master, why is such a variegated jade a top-notch treasure?" Young Master Tang was a little confused.
"This is what I'm going to say next. After the stone was bought, it was finally carved into a national treasure, named 'Liu Guan Zhang' and 'Taoyuan Three Brothers'. Even though Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were three
people."
"Of these three people, one has a white face, one has a red face, and one has a dark face. Skilled craftsmen carved the variegated jade into these three figures. They are fantastic ideas and have extraordinary meanings. They symbolize brotherhood and are so valuable.
Not to mention. Do you know the meaning of what I told you?" Mr. Xing asked.
