Ji Shenyu slept peacefully all night, lying on his side, rubbing his cheeks on the pillowcase, opening his eyes frequently, and was forced to close by the thick darkness outside the window. Gradually fell asleep, woke up as soon as the day dawned, and simply got up in the morning to study.
He sat under the porch to breathe the fresh air, holding a Chinese book and reciting in a low voice, after reading a chapter, the magpies on the branches of the tree croaked loudly, as if to echo him. He was happy with the reading, and read aloud with his throat brightened, poetry recited, one after another.
Turning another page, there was an earth-shattering sound behind him.
The bedroom door was kicked open, and Ding Han Baimian stood in the doorway like Shura, surrounded by ill-will, if he held a sword, he would definitely slash people. He held back his yawn, and scolded Ji Shenyu, who was stunned, "Go on, let me hear what kind of flowers you can read. It will disturb people's dreams early in the morning!"
Ji Shenyu was afraid of staying in trouble again, so he left the sentence "sorry" and ran to the front yard.
Should be unhappy during the class time during the day, he disturbed Ding Hanbai's sleep, and now it was his turn to be so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and the handwriting left on the book was a little crooked. He passed the day groggy, and after school he flew all the way to Miao'an Alley.
Ji Shenyu came to tell Liang Hecheng the situation of the porcelain kiln. He was afraid that he would go home too late, so he planned to meet and finish the talk, but when he saw Liang Hecheng, he hesitated.
Liang Hecheng leaned against the head of the bed and smiled: "Why do you look like this? Are some classmates bullying you at school?"
Ji Shenyu answered no, he thought, Liang Hecheng was depressed for a long time after his illness, finally met him, and played the only remaining spiritual skills. If he learned that the porcelain kiln had been abandoned, and his old friends were gone, would he suffer again? Field blow
Maybe he is really not good at disguising, and the corners of his eyes and brows reveal his thoughts. Liang Hecheng still smiled: "Have you gone to Tong Village, have you found a place?"
Ji Shenyu did not dare to lie: "I found it."
Liang Hecheng knocked on his forehead: "Tell me, don't let me squeeze toothpaste."
Ji Shen said: "Master, that porcelain kiln has been abandoned... I heard from the villagers that I haven't seen your friend Tong Peifan for more than a year."
Liang Hecheng was stunned for a moment, and his smile froze and resumed. He rested for a long time and had almost no contact with the outside world, and he did not expect to have overturned. He sighed silently in his heart, and looked up again to see Ji Shenyu lowered his head, as if he was more lost than himself.
The room was quiet, and the worn-out semiconductor occasionally made a little noise. The old and the young were silent and miserable. The sky was darkening, and Liang Hecheng finally said: "Don't be hysterical, I think it's going to rain, go home quickly."
Ji Shenyu asked, "Master, then let's..."
Liang Hecheng comforted: "Think about it again, it's not that serious."
After a while, it really started to rain, Ji Shenyu got out of the car and ran wild, but the section of Sha'er Street was enough to get wet. He ran up the steps, stood under the eaves, and saw a person riding over from the intersection.
The shower was ferocious, and all the pedestrians were running for their lives, but the man was riding the bike slowly, holding the handlebar in one hand and the umbrella in the other, so that his chest was not wet.
The other party is getting closer, the umbrella eaves are lifted slightly, it is Ding Hanbai.
Ding Hanbai got out of the car and threw his umbrella to Ji Shenyu, holding the beam with one hand and carrying the car into the door. From the gate to the front yard, he grabbed the umbrella to support the two of them, and entered the large living room with water dripping.
Ji Shenyu forgot his troubles for a while, and asked amusingly, "Senior brother, how can you be so comfortable in such a heavy rain?"
Ding Hanbai said: "The north doesn't like rain in autumn, and winter is more dry, so I can enjoy it when it rains." He didn't tell the truth, the reason for the rain was because the interior was hot recently.
As for why it is hot, it seems that it is because the American ginseng is chewed too much.
This rain lasted for three days, intermittently, soaking the entire city. The sound of rain was disturbing, but Ji Shenyu thought a lot, thinking about where he and Liang Hecheng should go without the porcelain kiln.
It was cold in the morning, especially overcast, the roses in the small courtyard were dilapidated, and the cold wind was blowing.
But the Nanwu was quite lively, with five senior brothers gathered, as well as the master Ding Yanshou. Seven or eight cardboard boxes are neatly arranged, and they are all materials and stones brought back from Xi'an. They were previously placed in Yupinji, and they just moved home after identifying the records.
Ding Yanshou sat down: "Choose one piece for each person and hand in the homework early next month."
The box was opened, and the common and high-priced materials, jade and stone were all included. From the second to the fourth, they don't move, and they have to wait for Ding Hanbai to pick first. It's not orderly, it's mainly to measure the difficulty.
If Ding Hanbai chooses big ones, they can't take too small ones.
If Ding Hanbai chooses the common price, they will not be able to get the high price.
However, Ding Hanbai never chooses the general price material, and doesn't even look at it. He paced straight to Baiyu, leaned over and asked, "Dad, what is the order from the third store?"
Ding Yanshou said: "The jade carvings are in the Ming style and the Qing style."
Ding Hanbai reached out and tapped the piece of white jade on his forearm: "That's it, I'll take the order." He made up his mind to get up and leave, indifferent to what other people choose, coldly, ready to go back to the room for another sleep.
Ding Er and the next one, Ding Keyu and Jiang Tingen were selected one after another, and finally it was Ji Shenyu's turn. Ji Shenyu was seldom sloppy, and seemed to have already thought about it early in the morning, saying, "Master, I choose that piece of sapphire."
The other three cast their gazes, each with emotion.
The two pieces of sapphire jade were the best and most expensive in this batch. Ding Hanbai was not chosen because the customer requested white jade. That Ding Hanbai did not choose, so who would have thought that Ji Shenyu would dare to choose.
When he left, Jiang Tingen grabbed Ji Shenyu and asked, "What are you going to carve?"
Ji Shenyu said honestly, "I haven't decided yet."
Jiang Tingen was anxious for him: "Then you choose Qingyu? Big brother didn't even choose!"
Ji Shenyu asked back: "I can't choose if my brother doesn't choose me? Shouldn't he choose me if he doesn't choose me? Don't worry, I will do my best to complete it, and I will definitely live up to that piece of material."
On the day he got the sapphire jade, he roughly cut it to a third size, wrapped the smaller piece properly, put it in his backpack, and ran to Miao'an Alley again.
The two masters and apprentices met again. They have been thinking about it for the past few days. At this moment, seeing each other and being happy at the same time. Liang Hecheng greeted the good apprentice to sit down, without delay, and straight to the point: "Shen Yu, do you remember what I said when I knew your master was Boss Ding?"
Of course Ji Shenyu remembered that the other party was both surprised and delighted, and said that the reason why there were no jade carvings in the whole room was because the lines were separated by mountains, and even if they were able to carve, they would not be able to escape Ding Yanshou's discernment.
Liang Hecheng said, "You are Boss Ding's apprentice, and you are best at carving. When you meet me again, isn't this destined for us to work together?" It is to let him teach Ji Shenyu, and also to let Ji Shenyu make up for the gap that he can't get involved in.
If it is a fake jade antique, there is no need for a porcelain kiln.
This time, it was Ji Shenyu's turn to be stunned, opened the bag with his eyes open, and peeled off the layers of the package to reveal the original appearance of sapphire. He laughed excitedly, the more he laughed, the deeper he laughed: "Master, I think the same as you."
Liang He patted the table happily: "Since you brought Qingyu, are you thinking about what to do?"
Ji Shenyu replied: "The jade boy of the Song Dynasty, holding lotus, riding a deer and climbing a branch of flowers."
The master and the apprentice were locked in the inner hut, where the broken table was the workbench. Ji Shenyu studied ink, he had never seen Liang Hecheng paint, and his expectations were mixed with a little dissatisfaction. After all, which apprentice had never had the Spring and Autumn Dream of "green is better than blue".
The paper is not big, Liang Hecheng put his sixth pinky finger on the pen, and it didn't take too long to draw a boy walking with a lotus. He taught: "The jade boy of each dynasty is different, you want to be in the Song Dynasty. Holding a lotus, riding a deer and walking on a branch, the hairstyle should be short, the clothes should be slanted square or water-shaped, and the facial expressions should be so subtle as to the shape of the eyebrows and the ears."
This is not carving with the heart, every line must be meticulously planned, the slightest error will be identified as genuine.
This small piece of sapphire is enough to be a regular jade boy, so Ji Shenyu decided to take the lotus walking posture. Liang Hecheng stared at his painting, fine and fine, fine and fine. "Master." He couldn't help asking, "How many things are hidden in your mind?"
Liang Hecheng said, "It's just enough to scare you."
Ji Shenyu has his own calculations in his mind. The rate of counterfeit goods in the antique market is as high as 90%. How many highly skilled bulls hide in them and make a fortune, but most of them are good at certain things, such as porcelain, such as calligraphy and painting, and there are many kinds of porcelain. , There are many categories in calligraphy and painting, but Liang Hecheng is different and seems to understand all of them.
He suddenly remembered Blind Zhang and asked, "Master, you are so powerful, can you still see that Blind Zhang?"
Liang Hecheng said: "That person grew up in the treasure pile since he was a child. In addition to his talent, he can't tell in a few words." He originally pointed it out, but he wentssip said, "His house was cleaned up badly during the special period, and his eyes I was also blind at that time, I guess I saw through a lot, and I was tortured to the point of losing my competitive spirit."
Ji Shenyu thought, one of these enemies was fighting and the other was terminally ill, so they should be confidants.
He really thinks too much, not only thinks too much, but thinks the opposite.
One autumn rain and one cold, two days later, Ding Hanbai asked for leave at home on the grounds that the weather was cooling down... He was always like this, changing his methods to challenge Zhang Yin's bottom line, and the other party was willing to endure it, waiting for him to earn enough fame. rice bowl.
The machine room was too cold, so he went to the study with the piece of white jade in his arms, meditated with pure hands, and began to carve a magnolia flower arrangement. First lay a layer of thick felt cloth, put the white jade properly, and then you can draw the shape by pinching the exact size.
Ding Hanbai's eyes and ears are sharp, and he dipped his ink in ink to notice the footsteps outside, quietly, not knowing who the thief was.
The door opened a little, but the amber eyes were too recognizable, but the thief himself was unaware that he had been exposed, and he stepped back and wanted to leave. Ding Hanbai looked down at Yu, but his voice was high: "I've already come, what else are you going to go?"
Ji Shenyu stopped in her footsteps and had to bite the bullet and go in.
The reason why he didn't want to be in the same room with others was mainly because he was afraid of revealing what he was doing. doing what? He took a few boxes of paint and wanted to find rice paper for color matching. After a long time in the jade year, it turned yellow and brown, and he adjusted it for the jade boy.
When he walked to the table, he said slowly, "Brother, you are hooking the thread."
Ding Hanbai didn't raise his eyes, he smelled the paint and asked, "Painting?"
Ji Shenyu made a sound of "um", and his movements were as light as his footsteps. After going around the table, move a chair and sit next to it, lay out the paper to color, tick a little bright yellow, tick a little tan, and carefully explore the proportions.
After the shape was drawn, Ding Hanbai asked, "I heard that you chose sapphire, what are you going to carve?"
Ji Shenyu replied, "Jade incense burner, three-legged, double butterfly ear ring."
Ding Hanbai finally raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's not difficult."
Ji Shenyu nodded, of course he knew that, aside from the precious piece of sapphire, he cut a small piece to make a jade boy, which was equivalent to reducing the value. Therefore, it must be difficult to engrave, and the high selling price can make up for it in the future.
After debugging for a long time, he didn't get a satisfactory result, and he put the pen aside and admired the others. This piece of white jade was also cut in half. He remembered that one should be made in Ming style and the other in Qing style. He asked for advice: "Master, is there a big difference between Ming and Qing jade carvings?"
Ding Hanbai said a few words: "It was invented in the Ming Dynasty."
It was just four words, but Ji Shenyu understood it immediately. Invented in the Ming Dynasty, it must be relatively simple and rough at first, but after a generation of development, it will become a little more complex and diverse, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties are not too long, so there will be no major changes in the shape of the utensils.
Enough of his appreciation, he continued to color.
This time, it was Ding Hanbai's turn to look sideways, and looking at the yellow-brown spot on the paper made him feel sick: "What are you doing?"
Ji Shenyu said with a guilty conscience, "I color the painting... I paint the loquat tree."
Ding Hanbai sighed, hating the iron, he grabbed the pen and washed it. The tip of the pen clicked into the paint box, three yellows and one brown. After applying it evenly, it showed a full loquat color. "Draw it," he said. "I haven't seen you just paint."
Ji Shenyu forced himself to go to Liangshan, so he had to draw carefully.
He turned his face to look at the open window, and the trees in the courtyard were exposed in the four directions. When he was inspired, he sketched the outline structure at will. Unable to stop, one stroke after another, the green trees, luxuriant leaves, and yellow fruit, rendering a bleak sky, he crouched on the table, and gradually completed a loquat tree with distinct colors.
Ding Hanbai stopped his knife and looked at it, looking at the painting, at Ji Shenyu's pursed lips, and at the words he had written.
Tea millet to send incense
Loquat Ying Huang
The garden pond steals the spring
dove ming in mulberry
Yingti near the window
Pedestrians go abroad
heartbroken
Small courtyards, shallow ponds, and bird calls. When I came here from Yangzhou, I went to a foreign country. All of them are suitable. But Ding Hanbai is not happy. He has always been unhappy, so he would pick up quarrels and stir up trouble, and he would teach him a lesson, asking: "It's delicious and delicious, and I hurt you, what kind of bowels do you have?"
Ji Shenyu had no other intentions, but whispered: "Where are you hurting me?"
Ding Hanbai held back for a long time, please eat fried noodles, take it for shopping, and hug him around when he was injured... He didn't bother to list them all, so he coldly left a disgusting sentence: "White-eyed wolf, I'll let you know what you know from now on. It's that my grandma doesn't hurt, and my uncle doesn't love it."
Ji Shenyu smiled brightly: "Grandma and uncle have nothing to do with you, aren't you eldest brother?"
Ding Hanbai looked at him coldly, and he boasted again, this white jade looks good without being carved. He didn't know whether to praise Yu or people, but he knew that Ding Hanbai was cold-eyed.
There was an autumn wind outside, and there were even fallen leaves on the street. The greenery around the city museum has always been in place, and the branches and leaves are still strong. Liang Hecheng went to get a haircut, and queued up energetically to enter the venue to see the official admission.
Walking around in small steps, I saw a gold six-edged water bowl. Things are not rare, and people who wear sunglasses in front of the showcase are rare.
In order to protect cultural relics, the light in the museum should not be too bright, and wearing sunglasses, how sick. Liang He rode over and said to himself, "The turquoise green glaze is a bit tacky in color."
The other people didn't twist their heads and shouted: "The inner wall of alum red color, the outer wall of pastel color, red and green shit, it suits you."
The two old men turned their faces to face each other, and they didn't smile, but they didn't separate from each other, sticking together and continuing to stroll. Lifting the bar all the way and choking all the way, provoked the staff to look at them.
Entering the first hall again, Zhang Sinian said, "I heard that you are ill, can't you work?"
Liang Hecheng replied: "I can't do it, can't I just hang out all day?"
Zhang Sinian sneered: "I said earlier that you have no future in this industry, and you can only stop when you encounter a disaster. Unlike me, as long as you can see with one eye, it will not hinder you. If you take me as a teacher, you can change your career."
Liang Hecheng felt that it was boring to fight, but it was still interesting to declare war, and said, "I have hired an apprentice." Seeing the other person's surprise, he added, "You think you are the boss when I fall? My apprentice is very talented and very smart. The point is that he is only seventeen, and he will boil you to death."
Zhang Sinian still laughed: "Boil me to death? I'll boil you to death first." Walking out of the gate of the museum side by side, it was spacious and bright, "You six-fingered monster can accept apprentices, but I can't? My apprentice is exceptionally talented. Don't try to escape his eyes with what your apprentice does."
Liang Hecheng said loudly, "Okay! Then try it!"
The two old clappers made an agreement that they were a spear and a shield, and they couldn't tell who was stronger and who was weaker, and the left and right were getting old, so let the apprentice take the lead. See if your hands are strong, or my eyes are bright.
Ding Hanbai and Ji Shenyu didn't know it at all, and they were gathering together to admire the paintings. Ding Hanbai was shameless. He took out his seal and covered it with other people's paintings, which made Ji Shenyu scold him.
"Hey, how do you Yangzhou people swallow sentences when you write poetry?"
Ding Hanbai discovered it early in the morning and only mentioned it at this time. When Ji Shenyu tilted his head to see, he took a pen to make up the back of "Garden Pond Stolenly Change Spring" - the day is long in the world.
Their eyes collided, their faces flushed, and they all forgot that it was autumn.
