Chapter 25 Carving Gifts by Yourself
Yang Xiuwen had already planned this in his mind when his master Chen Zhiwu told him that his wife was celebrating her birthday.
I went to Sun Jianguo that day and asked him to help me get a set of jade carving tools, so I was late when I went to the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum.
After digging the pit, I studied for a few days with a jade carving master introduced by Sun Jianguo.
With his sharp eyesight, he was able to get started quickly.
The engraving master asked Sun Jianguo where did you find it for the pervert. In Yang Xiuwen's eyes, the carved pendant was not very satisfactory.
But in the eyes of Zhou Xingwen and Zhang Li, it was already a masterpiece. The two-centimeter-sized Pixiu carving was vivid, and even the string of copper coins on the back of the Pixiu and the copper coins as big as mung beans were clearly engraved with the four words "wealth from all directions".
.
The three-centimeter dripping Guanyin has a lifelike facial expression, which makes people feel like they are worshiping. This shows the fineness of the carving.
According to the requirements of Zhou Xingwen and Zhang Li, two handles were carved, one tiger and one horse.
When taking it away, the master said casually, "Just so-so," which almost made Zhang Li laugh to death.
Yang Xiuwen carved two more handles, one of which was an auspicious cloud and soaring dragon, which was given to Chen Zhiwu.
One is the sheep stepping on the auspicious clouds, which is a gift for Qian Bin.
He is now thinking about a gift for his wife. Since ancient times, men have worn Guanyin and women have worn Buddha.
I decided to carve a laughing Buddha, which represents joy, joy, and eternal blessings.
Holding the egg-sized Hetian jade in my hand, there was a layer of dark orange oily skin on the surface. After thinking for a moment, I noticed.
After two whole days, the carefully carved Laughing Buddha was finally completed.
The face is kind, the expression is exaggerated and realistic, and it feels like you can hear laughter.
His long earlobes touched his shoulders, he was wearing a dark orange monk's robe, with his chest exposed and his fat belly sticking out, sitting cross-legged on Xuanwu's body.
Xuanwu looked back at him, as if he heard the laughter of the Laughing Buddha.
Dark brown lanyard, also equipped with two red wishful beads.
Maybe you don't understand the inner meaning behind his sudden play with carving.
In addition to the gift-giving aspect, there is another important reason, which is that he was trying to be a tiger in front of him.
Because he unintentionally put his spiritual power into the painting, unexpected effects appeared.
So I started trying non-stop, and finally determined that only jade can preserve spiritual power well.
This is what makes the objects he carves unique.
After one operation, I found that my mental power has been condensed a lot with constant use.
Now he can easily move a chair through his mental power, which is his celestial eye. Even if it is just an ordinary wooden chair, it is still incredible.
While admiring the Laughing Buddha, Cao Guoqing came up.
He said, "Xiu Wen, your master asked you to come over. Damn it, it's done. It's so beautiful. You can carve one for me when you have time. If you want a piece, I'll go find the jade."
Yang Xiuwen carefully put the Laughing Buddha into a prepared red silk gift box.
Then he said: "Okay, you decide what you want to carve first, and I'll do it for you later. I'll go to the master, and you can guard this."
After saying that, I went downstairs to Wenbaozhai.
The second floor of Wenbaozhai.
When Yang Xiuwen arrived, Zhou Xingwen was holding the Xuande stove he bought some time ago and looking at it carefully.
After buying it back, he gave it to the master at the original price and told him not to sell it. The value in the future could not be estimated.
He first changed the master's cup of hot tea, and then said, "Master, if you want to take a look, turn on the light, don't damage your eyes."
Zhou Xingwen put down the incense burner and said while taking off his gloves, "You may like it no matter how you look at it. The culture in antiques is so profound."
He picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and said, "Tomorrow you go to the Cultural Affairs Bureau to take the internal exam. Although it's just a matter of time, you have to take the exam well. In September, you will go to Chukyo, Department of Archeology, Kyoto University."
Yang Xiuwen looked at the master for a while and said: "Master, for this quota, are you..."
Zhou Xingwen interrupted him, "What are you thinking about? I promised the director to help the museum restore cultural relics, but I also like this job. Okay, you go back and get ready. Go to the Cultural Bureau tomorrow. Your Uncle Qian will be waiting for you there.
Eleven o'clock in the morning, don't be late."
Yang Xiuwen ran behind him and gave him a massage.
He said, "Master, how can I repay you? How about I pledge myself to you?"
Zhou Xingwen laughed and cursed directly, "Get out of here quickly."
Yang Xiuwen ran down the second floor quickly.
Zhou Xingwen doted on him and scolded him as "stinky boy."
Thinking back to the scene in the director's office a few days ago, the director was sitting at his desk.
Hanging on the wall behind him is a calligraphy and painting gifted to him by Yang Xiuwen, with the bamboo forest as the background and the four running script fonts "Quiet and Zhiyuan" written in free and elegant strokes.
He tapped the information in his hand and said, "Lao Zhou, Deputy Director Qian, I can give your apprentice a place to go to college, but you have to do me a favor. You restored the bronze carriage that your apprentice dug out last time.
Deputy Director Qian knows that the carriage is still in the restoration room of the museum and there is not enough manpower."
