Ji Shenyu felt pressured after learning of Liang Hecheng's agreement with Zhang Sinian. In this business, it was inevitable that he wanted to compete with others, and he was arrogant. But he has an advantage. He is proud but does not underestimate the enemy. After hearing about Zhang Sinian's deeds, he dare not underestimate the opponent's apprentice.
The most important thing is that this matter is related to Liang Hecheng's face, he is afraid that the old man will be embarrassed to lose.
A piece of sapphire produces two works. The jade boy not only has to be carved, but also needs to be aged in dozens of processes. The jade furnace is large and difficult. Ji Shenyu was devastated for a while, wishing to give birth to three heads and six arms.
At the dinner table, Ding Er and Shan Shan arrived late, explaining that a regular customer came to the second store in the evening, and they have been lingering until now for a decoration. Ding Yanshou was busy talking about the hard work, and Ding Erhe took advantage of the situation to talk about his jade material, and communicated with Ding Yanshou for a while.
Everyone started dinner, Ding Hanbai was also busy in the shop today, and he was also working on the two magnolia flower arrangements day and night, so he ate frankly. The remaining two apprentices were not so comfortable, especially Ji Shenyu. He went to school during the day and worked hard at night, so he didn't have time to help in the store at all.
In fact, it doesn't matter, but he still devotes his energy to being a jade boy, and he feels guilty for a while.
Ding Hanbai got used to it, and used his elbow to stab the person next to him, but this time he didn't respond. He turned his head to see Ji Shenyu buried in a bowl and spread hysteria. He casually took a piece of ginger and said with bad intentions, "Eat, what are you thinking about?"
Ji Shenyu took it in a daze, chewed the taste, wrinkled his face, and spit out the soup. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Ding Hanbai gloating at the misfortune. He didn't lose his temper, but asked in a low voice, "Master, you go to the store during the day, don't you have to go to work?"
These words made people dumbfounded, and Ji Shenyu remained silent until he went to bed at night. He thinks on his back, and prioritizes everything. The most important thing is the job right now, so the sideline study should be put aside.
He was embarrassed, but he was very assertive, and he skipped class the next day after finishing his class.
Jade Boy is small, and carving is not difficult for Ji Shenyu. He gave up the method he learned from Ji Fang, and followed traditional techniques to rough carve embryos, refine and polish them, and then start the complicated old-fashioning process after completion. .
In this way, he skipped class every day to go to Liang Hecheng's place until the jade boy finished.
Liang Hecheng was even more excited than his apprentice. He made countless objects with his hands. He originally thought that jade carvings would become a regret in this life, but he did not expect that a good dream would come true in his lifetime.
"Apprentice?" he called.
Ji Shenyu didn't move, he didn't care to wash his hands, fell asleep on the table, and pretended to go to Yupinji to help at night after school.
Another day, Liang Hecheng rode a tricycle with an old bag on his back, walked through the thick morning fog, and wandered to the antique market to set up a stall. He came back early this time, and was fortunate enough to take a good seat, sitting on a small stool with his hands folded, covering his little finger, and waiting for the sun.
In a short time, the sky will be sunny, and all the antiques and treasures will be invisible, the beautiful ones will be brighter, but the flaws will not be hidden. There were more and more people, and Liang Hecheng didn't look for it deliberately. Anyway, the old thing always wore sunglasses, which made it very conspicuous.
The stall came to the eldest sister and asked: "Master, this green pot is strangely beautiful, square and square, what is it for?"
Liang Hecheng said: "The square daffodil pot with green glaze, the color of the daffodils can only be matched by the greenness."
Women love flowers, the eldest sister took it and looked back and forth, and saw the insignia: "Yo, Yongzheng year system."
Liang Hecheng said frankly: "Republic of China imitations." How can there be frankness in this industry, no matter how fake something is, it can't beat a mouth to deceive people. He just used this narcissus pot to make up the number. He made it a few years ago. At that time, it was to grow garlic sprouts and eat garlic sprouts.
In the end, the pot was sold, the eldest sister left on the front foot, and the sunglasses lovers arrived on the back foot. Liang He took the banknote to count halfway, put it away and put it in his hand again, closed his eyes, and greeted Zhang Sinian.
Those who usually take root in the antique market are familiar with each other, and Zhang Sinian is naturally familiar. But he didn't like to be seen, blind and ugly, and he hated to be looked at.
Across the lens, the old man looked at it and said, "Wash the bottle and jar arm with water, don't you just look at your apprentice's craftsmanship? With so many pieces, aren't you tired?"
Of course, it is impossible to bring only the jade boy, that is equivalent to telling the other party that it was made by my apprentice and that it is a fake. These objects are mixed together, let's distinguish. Liang He rode back: "It's not tired to ride three wheels, it's much more leisurely than pulling scraps with a trolley."
He began to choke again. Zhang Sinian began to look at a lotus leaf washed with water, next to each other, with jade boys mixed in. He looked around, and finally picked up the jade boy and asked, "Your apprentice committed the crime alone, or did you accompany the crime?"
Liang Hecheng raised his foot and kicked him, but unfortunately he was weak: "I didn't get started."
Zhang Sinian continued to look at it, and put it all aside, coughing. "Plum pattern pen holder, real." He picked it out, his voice very low, "Bamboo arm rest, real. Washed with lotus leaf, imitation. Duan stone with shape inkstone board, imitation. Hetian jade ring, imitation."
After the genuine product was selected, it was the turn of the fake one. Zhang Sinian's sunglasses slipped down to the bridge of his nose, revealing bright and dark eyes. At the end, only the jade boy from the Song Dynasty was left, and he suddenly smiled.
He knew that Liang Hecheng couldn't sculpt, so Liang Hecheng's apprentice should not be either. But he can see that this thing is a fake, and the forgery traces are under other fakes, which is equivalent to Liang Hecheng's craftsmanship, which is interesting.
If it wasn't for the apprentice, what did Liang Hecheng take to draw? So Zhang Sinian laughed, laughing that Liang Hecheng had actually received an apprentice who could sculpt. He asked, "I said, how old is your apprentice?"
Liang Hecheng replied casually, "Seventeen."
Zhang Sinian thought to himself: The future is boundless. After thinking about it again, I feel that it is not necessarily, what about the blue sky, look at yourself, look at the other party at the moment, isn't it also a meal to hang out and spend every day?
He picked up the pen holder and washed it with water, then took the jade boy, took out the money and left, and before leaving, he threw a sentence: "Your high disciple has not passed my level, wait and see if you can pass my high disciple level."
Liang Hecheng smiled lightly, he was an expert, he knew how much this jade boy made by Ji Shenyu, and how much he could bluff in this market. Zhang Sinian is the highest hurdle. After identifying several imitations he personally made, he naturally feels that Jade Boy is more fake.
But Zhang Sinian also said that - Gao Tu.
They both agreed that it was a high school apprentice, so he was overjoyed.
Similarly, if Zhang Sinian's apprentice could identify the authenticity of the Jade Boy, he would also admit that the other party was a master apprentice.
Zhang Sinian came home with his stuff in his hands, and he smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the alley, and the fragrance was stronger when he arrived at the door. It was a good dish for chasing Fenglou. The cotton door curtain was lifted, and Ding Hanbai leaned against the door frame with his sleeves rolled up, his fingertips red.
"You haven't shown up for a few days, are you free today?" the old man asked.
"Can you come when you're not free?" Ding Hanbai never knew how to respect teachers, and turned around to prepare for dinner. He was so busy with the two flower inserts that he nearly burst his liver, and handed them over to the customer in the morning, so he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The two men were eating and drinking, Ding Hanbai couldn't help but glance at his backpack, put down his chopsticks and looked at things first. As soon as he opened it, "The pen holder is not bad, but I don't like plum blossoms." After a rough scan, it was not bad. He then took a closer look and his expression changed slightly.
"This jade boy..." Ding Hanbai fixed his eyes, narrow-sleeved shirt, short heart-shaped hair on the forehead, big head and short neck, fists in both hands, he carefully looked at the things in his hands from head to toe several times, and settled down with a hammer, "The characteristics are all from the Song Dynasty. "
He glanced at Zhang Sinian with a little doubt.
Zhang Sinian ate the vegetables and said vaguely, "How do you feel?"
Ding Hanbai said: "The round carvings, hair and facial features are all very thin inscribed lines, the sharp edges of the knife are sharp, the folds of the clothes are numerous and delicate, but there are no overlapping lines at all." A few scratches say, "One of the qualities of jade is that it is moisturizing. If the scratches are not deep, they will be light for a long time and can be seen, but they may be smooth to the touch."
Zhang Sinian nodded and waited for the next paragraph.
"This one can be clearly touched, and there are more than one, indicating that it was drawn later. It may be bumped for several dynasties, and bumps are inevitable, but it is a bit of a coincidence that it is distributed around the longest road." Ding Hanbai put down the things, " And the longest one is just on the edge of the yellowing part of the affected area, so he smashed a piece after carving, and the affected state was made at the cross-section. ."
Zhang Sinian shook his head with the wine cup in his hand, shaking and laughing. He shook his head because he regretted that Liang Hecheng's apprentice lost, and laughed because he was proud of his apprentice's arrogance. Ding Hanbai saw through it, and it was rare to be humble: "If the time is spare, the master who makes the things has to deal with it carefully twice, and I probably won't be able to see it."
Zhang Sinian said, "Don't be master, you're only seventeen."
Ding Hanbai stood up in shock, picked up the jade boy again and looked at it. The reason why he noticed this object is because he was attracted by the exquisite carving skills at first sight. Whether it is true or not, it is the best in his field of carving. Unexpectedly, engraving and a series of other craftsmanship came from the hands of young people.
He admired it in his heart, and unconsciously asked Zhang Sinian, but unfortunately Zhang Sinian only knew his age, and his age was still inaccurate.
Things went off one after another and became lighter, Liang Hecheng took the money and took the car to the gate of No. 6 Middle School, waiting for Ji Shenyu to eat together after school at noon.
Ji Shenyu was thinking about things, and when he learned that the truth was detected by the blind Zhang, his confidence was greatly reduced, and he suddenly lost his appetite. When they parted, Liang Hecheng gave him a bag of money, and the sapphire was recorded by the jade. If he needed to make up the account, he would spend it himself if he didn't need it.
Ji Shenyu accepted it, took out the money to make up the account, and bought the rest for Liang Hecheng to buy medicine. Maybe it's because I'm too tired recently, and I'm thinking about whether the jade boy can hide from the other party's eyes, so I frequently get distracted in class in the afternoon.
When the bell rang, he was called to the office for the first time. His inattentiveness in class was secondary, mainly due to the problem of skipping classes in recent days, new feuds and old accounts, and the teacher asked him to call his parents tomorrow.
At the age of seventeen, Ji Shenyu was empty from the inside out. It was the first time he was called a parent in his life.
How is he going to speak? Who do you talk to?
First of all, Ding Yanshou was excluded, Ji Shenyu dared to tell Ding Yanshou to know, he had no face to let Ding Yanshou know. Jiang Shuliu couldn't do it either. His mother knew it was the same as his master knew. He was confused all the way after school, and his mind turned to Jiang Caiwei.
No, Jiang Caiwei was so kind to him, he was afraid that Jiang Caiwei would be disappointed.
Ji Shenyu returned home in despair, as dejected as the withered rose, raised his eyes and saw the door next door closed, and the word "savior" poured out in his heart. In fact, he thought of Ding Hanbai early on, but Ding Hanbai would definitely scold him, and he was a little scared.
In the room, Ding Hanbai opened his eyes and it was already dusk. He sat up and woke up and took a nap, and caught a glimpse of a shadow cast on the crack of the door, so scary. He folded his arms and waited, watching the crack of the door gradually widen, Ji Shenyu tilted his head and looked in.
He coughed lightly: "The thief is just like you."
Ji Shenyu closed the door but did not approach: "Senior brother, are you free tomorrow?"
Ding Hanbai said, "I may not play with you when I am free, and I may not play with you when I am not free." He patted the bedside and waited for Ji Shenyu to come over and sit down, "The Yuxun furnace will be placed in the machine room after the embryo is released. , are you waiting for me to sculpt it for you?"
Ji Shenyu hurriedly denied it, staring at the fringe on the lampshade, feeling nervous. "Brother, can you accompany me to school tomorrow?" With a dull expression and a weak tone, "Teacher... The teacher asked the parents to go."
Ding Han sat up straight and called out to the parents? He has only seen poor students called parents, and he has never seen the first-ranked students also called parents. Looking at Ji Shenyu's appearance again, it seems that she wants to cry first, which is obviously a mistake.
"You can't be," he hesitated. "It can't be to tease female classmates, is it too much?"
Ji Shenyu said in surprise: "I didn't, because I didn't listen carefully, and there were too many truancy..."
Ding Hanbai was even more surprised: "You play truant? Why do you play truant when you are not familiar with your life?"
Ji Shen stammered: "It's because of the unfamiliarity of life that it's fresh, and there are so many places to play..." He met Ding Hanbai's gaze, and read all the speechlessness in it, except to avoid him and have no power to fight.
In fact, truancy is nothing in Ding Hanbai's place, but after comparison, he is not satisfied.
Ding Han poked Ji Shenyu's forehead: "Pretend to be a good boy and play truant? You are almost seventeen, some people can be seventeen!" I'm mad at myself!"
Ji Shenyu asked, "Who are some people?"
Ding Hanbai replied: "It's someone you can't compare to. You are also seventeen years old. You don't know how powerful they are. How dare you get to the bottom of it? The homework is finished? When will the incense burner be carved?"
The sun had set outside, and it was dark. Ji Shenyu was scolded so much that his face turned red, and his cheeks turned red with shame. When the scolding stopped, he should not say a word if he wanted to live in peace, but he couldn't bear it any longer. He pressed his tongue and asked, "Are you annoying me?"
He was a little trembling: "It bothers me because I didn't go to school well, and I will correct it. If it bothers me after the comparison because I met a great person, what should I do?"
Ding Hanbai meditated and his breath was steady, but his mind was quietly confused, unable to answer a word.
Ji Shenyu stood up, pacing around the bed in panic for a few times, and then walked to the door, like a bird that couldn't find its nest. Ding Hanbai saw it in his eyes, clenched the crown of his teeth and didn't make a move. He just coaxed after the training. What's the use of that.
The footsteps were gone, and the house was quiet.
Ding Hanbai lay down until 8:30 and walked out of the bedroom to see that the light was on in the south room, and Ji Shenyu was working inside. He went to the front yard living room to watch a movie, and watched a martial arts movie for more than an hour, but he didn't pay attention to who killed who.
Returning to the courtyard at ten o'clock, the south house is still lit.
Ding Hanbai walked back and forth in the corridor after taking a shower. When he was tired, he leaned against the railing to get bored. After spending time in the early morning, the South Room was still lit. He went back to the room to sleep, overturned the quilt, dragged the pillow to and fro, and was unable to see Duke Zhou for a long time.
After tossing until after two o'clock, he woke up at night and was stunned in the light of the south house halfway.
The equipment in the machine room has been turned off, and Ji Shenyu was busy until half an hour ago, and fell asleep in a disorganized manner.
Ding Hanbai finally remembered that Ji Shenyu used a lamp every day to carve the piece of sapphire. The door opened, he laughed, and went over to pull out the knife in the other's hand. "Wake up." He patted people's face and rubbed his shoulders again, "Get up and go back to the bedroom to sleep, Ji Pearl?"
Ji Shenyu was woken up by the manipulation, so he was so numb that he couldn't sit still, and leaned against Ding Hanbai's waist. Warm and comfortable, he was dazed and closed his eyes again.
Ding Hanbai misunderstood: "Lazy cat, want me to hug you?"
He bent over to support his buttocks, picked him up, turned on the light to close the door, walked through the moonlight in a courtyard, and passed the scattered roses. From the south house to the north house, there are obviously more than ten steps, but it seems to be so fast.
Ji Shenyu's breath was so light: "You try to scold me again."
Ding Hanbai said, "Aren't you convinced?"
Ji Shenyu's tone was so pitiful: "Don't hate me."
How could Shuimi in the south of the Yangtze River raise such a person, who can break people's defenses and be soft-hearted. Ding Hanbai sent Ji Shenyu into the house, and if he scolded him, he would only cover the quilt without words.
At three o'clock, he went back to his room and began to choose the clothes to see the teacher, as carefully as he wanted to see his mother-in-law.
