The system wants my local master gl

In midsummer, the surface of Dongqian Lake is calm and clear like a mirror, and there are bursts of cicadas singing from the surrounding forests, all telling the heat of summer.And Zhuzhou on the south side of Dongqian Lake was originally the most secluded and deep place, but at this time it was bustling like a vegetable market.

Song Yuyan imagined that what she was going to visit was a museum, but in fact, when she and Tang Zhi came to Zhuzhou, they found that it was more like visiting a jade market.

Outside the Jinzhao Hall, there are many jade antiques in the temporary shop, and there are also some stalls selling the Four Treasures of the Study, as well as food and drinks around. A small shop selling jade and antiques.

Tang Zhi said: "I understand selling jade and antiques, but why are there four treasures of the study?"

Song Yuyan pondered and said: "The only people who can come here are those rich households who are interested in jade besides jade carving experts, but they may not come in person, just like Lou Er, he didn't come either, but sent servants Come here to understand the situation. And if some people are not prepared enough and need to pass on the detailed situation to the master, then these pens, inks, papers and inkstones will naturally come in handy."

Sure enough, Tang Zhi saw several people come out of Jinzhao Hall in a hurry, and then bought a knife of paper, pens, ink sticks, inkstones, etc. with great pride and returned to Jinzhao Hall.She couldn't help but drag Song Yuyan into the Jinzhao Hall to find out.

As soon as you enter Jinzhaotang, you seem to have entered another world. Compared with the hustle and bustle outside, the inside is very quiet.It's not completely quiet, but apart from those who communicated calmly with the jade carvings in front of them, the crowd|talking crowd will deliberately lower their voices.

Infected by the atmosphere, Tang Zhi involuntarily lightened his steps.She listened to the words of those famous jade carving masters for a while, and found that she couldn't understand, so she simply admired the jade carvings in front of them.

However, she doesn't know jade, and only knows that only the rich and powerful have the opportunity to touch jade. Because gold is strictly controlled by the government, even if the rich have money, the gold ornaments they can buy are limited. A substitute for their status.

She was about to pull Song Yuyan to say something, but found that Song Yuyan was slightly lost in thought looking at a jade fish lotus pendant.She noticed just now that even those wealthy people couldn't help but look eager and surprised when they saw the dazzling array of jade ornaments outside. Even she was very moved when she saw those jade hairpins and jade ornaments.

But Song Yuyan's eyes were always calm, he only stayed on it for a while with admiring eyes, and then went to appreciate the next jade carving.In her eyes, these jade stones are just like the delicious food from the stall next door, which did not bring her any sensory impact.

Tang Zhi didn't think Song Yuyan was so calm because he didn't know the value of jade.It is impossible to say that she is not interested in money, but she has been thinking about how to make a fortune on weekdays.So it is more likely that she has been exposed to these jades too much before. Jade is not uncommon in her life like food.

Under such circumstances, she was distracted by a jade fish lotus pendant. It seemed that there was a secret in it.

She asked Song Yuyan in a low voice: "Have you taken a fancy to that jade fish lotus pendant?"

Song Yuyan came back to his senses, and then said: "That's not true, it's just that when I saw this jade pendant, I remembered some people and things."

Song Yuyan's grandfather was a master of jade carving, so in Song Yuyan's memory, there is no shortage of these jades around her.But her grandfather's favorite piece of jade was not made by him, but an antique, a jade fish lotus pendant from the Song Dynasty.

So when she saw the jade fish lotus pendant, she thought of her grandfather and the days when he was entrusting him to carve jade in front of the jade carving machine.

"Why, before you and I met, what did you have to do with this jade pendant?"

"How is it possible? Although the jade pendant is an antique jade, it can be seen at a glance that it has just been carved not long ago. The jade color is white and warm, and the shape, structure, decoration and carving techniques are all popular artistic styles today..."

Tang Zhi listened to her quietly, then nodded to show that she understood.But then she asked again: "You don't have many opportunities to come into contact with jade. If you only appreciate jade, how can you speak so eloquently? Could it be that you also know jade carving besides bamboo carving?"

Song Yuyan: "!!!"

She felt that her vest was about to be covered, but she still said nonsense very calmly: "Where did I get the opportunity to touch jade carvings? Not to mention touching it, I seldom even see it. The reason why I said so It’s clear and straight, that’s what I read from the book.”

Tang Zhi looked at her without blinking, staring at Song Yuyan with guilt.She suddenly showed a bright smile: "I see, it seems that only by reading more books can one gain a wider knowledge."

Song Yuyan was relieved, and nodded seriously, like a serious old scholar.

The two of them were purely onlookers today, and went back without buying anything. They didn't go to the stone carving exchange meeting on the second day, but took a rest at Lou's house.

Lou Gao has been pestering Song Yuyan to see what kind of bamboo carving she will come up with, but Song Yuyan is firm: "If you read it in advance, then tomorrow will not be without surprises? You might as well wait one more night, Mr. Lou Erlang."

Lou Gao didn't see her bamboo carving, so he went back and whispered to Mrs. Zhu: "Song Dalang is stingy, so stingy! If you don't let me see it, then I'll go to see his little apprentice's bamboo carving. Then I'll brag about it in front of him. His apprentice, piss him off!"

Zhu Shi: "..."

Her husband-in-law probably had a lot of contact with Song Yuyan, and was infected by the liveliness of young people. His disposition became younger and younger, and the more he lived, the more childish he became.

She said: "You go! If you praise Song Dalang's little apprentice, his little apprentice will be very happy that his bamboo carving has been recognized. The little apprentice's sister Tang will be happy, and Song Dalang will also be very happy. If you praise someone , there are three people happy, this is worth doing."

When Lou Gao heard this, he quit again: "How dare I do it, he will be the one who is happy in the end? Then I quit, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Lou Gao held back all night, and the next day he went to Zhuzhou with Song Yuyan's family of four with great interest.

His father, Lou Hao, originally wanted to go there together, but the new Zhizhou of Mingzhou is a bold and unrestrained person in life, but he is an official who strictly enforces the law in politics, so he naturally does not allow Lou Hao to miss work.

Lou Gao then said to his father: "Father, if Song Dalang's bamboo carving can refresh my eyes and ears, I will buy it back and give it to you no matter what, so don't worry!"

Song Yuyan said: "If I don't sell it to you, won't it make you an unfilial son?"

"That depends on whether Song Dalang is willing to fulfill my filial piety."

Song Yuyan smiled, neither agreed nor said badly.

After arriving at Jinzhao Hall, there were already many literati and rich men sitting in the auditorium.Song Yuyan arranged Tang Zhi and cakes, and then took Tang Ye to the designated seat.

And after she appeared, many eyes fell on her, some cast contemptuous glances, some curiously looked into the bamboo box she was holding, and some people who didn't know her didn't pay attention to her .

After a while, Xing Lao from the bamboo carving shop appeared, and behind him was a handsome young woman. She was smiling and her eyes flicked gently over the faces of the people present, but she didn't give anyone a look. A feeling of being left out, when even some onlookers asked others: "Which family's little lady is that?"

Someone who knew the woman replied: "This is the daughter of Du Xinglao from the Bamboo Carving Guild. It is said that she has been with Du Xinglao since she was a child, and has been helping Du Xinglao with business at home in recent years. , is a woman with a lot of means. She proposed to hold this discussion meeting."

Everyone suddenly realized: "No wonder Du Xinglao brought her here."

Some people still want to know if she is married, but Du Xinglao started to read out the rules and introduced all the bamboo carving masters who were invited to come. The Jinzhao hall suddenly became quiet, and no one made such a noise anymore. .

After Du Xinglao finished talking about the rules, he added a sentence: "This is a discussion, the purpose is to enhance communication and skills among colleagues, not to compete. I hope you can benefit from this discussion."

After he finished speaking, someone immediately stared at Song Yuyan, wishing she could take out her bamboo carving immediately.But according to the rules, Du Xinglao naturally invited the well-known bamboo carving masters to show their works first, and let everyone taste them.

Some people think that in terms of fame, Song Yuyan's fame is not very big, and her works should be shown in the front.But someone could see the intention of Du Xinglao's arrangement at a glance: "Originally, Song Lu was the youngest craftsman in this competition, and most of the craftsmen on the field were dissatisfied that her bamboo carvings could be sold at a high price. This is the focus of this conference.”

"If his bamboo carving is really good, it's okay to put it down as the finale. If his bamboo carving is not worthy of its name, then putting him in that position is a merciless mockery for him. That's why Du Xinglao made this move." It can be said that Song Lufang is going to be roasted on the bonfire! Let's see if Song Lufang can produce an amazing work this time, if it succeeds, it will become famous all over the world, if it fails..."

Hearing this, someone gasped: "The success or failure of Song Lu Fang really depends on it! But I don't think this matter is like Du Xinglao's style."

The man smiled slightly: "It's clear at a glance whose handwriting it is."

Everyone turned their attention to Miss Du, who was sitting quietly behind Du Xing and not saying a word, and suddenly shuddered.

Hearing these whispers, Tang Zhi couldn't help but look at Miss Du a few more times. The latter didn't know whether she noticed her gaze, or just happened to glance at her.

Looking at each other, Miss Du nodded to Tang Zhi with a smile on her face, and Tang Zhi also had a smile on his face, and nodded in return.

After looking away, Tang Zhi made a secret decision that Song Yuyan must not be allowed to join the bamboo carving business in the future, otherwise she would not know what kind of trap she was made into if she met such a powerful woman as Du Xiaoniangzi!

Song Yuyan, who didn't know that someone outside the venue was worrying about her, quietly and carefully watched the bamboo carvings of her predecessors. Most of the bamboo carvings they took out were pen holders, incense holders, etc., which were either bas-relief or openwork. Liu Qingdiao adopts intaglio carving techniques. Although the knife skills are elegant and the composition is appropriate, no matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of dull picture and single layer.

In addition to the respected celebrities invited by the bamboo carving industry to express their views on those bamboo carvings, the famous bamboo carving masters on the field are also commenting on each other's bamboo carvings.

Song Yuyan only praised some famous bamboo carvings with strong and powerful lines, but didn't comment much on others.It's not that she doesn't like those bamboo carvings, but because her position does not support her to comment.

The bamboo carving craftsmanship of later generations is also inherited and developed from the predecessors, that is to say, without the inheritance of the skills of these craftsmen, there will be no vigorous development of bamboo carving in the future.

But she couldn't even try to praise these bamboo carvings against her will.

And her behavior made the person who disliked her even more dissatisfied, and asked her: "Song Lufang, why didn't you say a word after looking at my pen holder? Do you look down on me? Since you look down on me, why don't you take yours?" Bring out the bamboo carvings for everyone to see and taste, to see if you have the ability to look down on me!"

Song Yuyan felt that he was a little baffled, and she heard a reminder from behind: "His son impersonated you for the sake of getting credit when he was looking for Lufang bamboo carvings in Liu Zhizhou. Later, this matter was discovered by the yamen and he was punished."

Song Yuyan understood why this bamboo carver stared at her with resentful eyes, but she was "sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky"!What does it have to do with her that his son was punished for his injustice?

Du Xinglao cleared his throat: "Be quiet, remember that today is just a discussion and exchange—"

Before Du Xinglao finished his words, someone echoed the bamboo carver just now: "Since it's a discussion and exchange, why bother to abide by those complicated rules? How about being more casual?"

Du Xing was at a loss for words, he glanced at his daughter, and then at Song Yuyan.Song Yuyan felt dozens of gazes falling on her body, she smiled slightly, and turned her head to signal Tang Ye to take out her bamboo carving.

She said: "Everyone is right. Since it's a discussion and exchange, it's better to be casual. Thank you for your appreciation, the recording party invited the recording party to participate in this discussion meeting. Seniors, please give me some pointers."

Everyone had already seen Tang Ye who was sitting behind her. Although they could see that she was a woman, considering that Mrs. Du and the female relatives were in the auditorium, no one bothered to talk about her gender.

Song Yuyan's words immediately focused everyone's attention on Tang Ye. She became nervous and began to sweat.

Tang Zhi was a little worried about whether she could stand this kind of occasion, after all, she was an introverted and timid child before!

Unexpectedly, Tang Ye finally took out her bamboo carving - an armrest, despite the eyes of everyone.

Ordinary armrests mostly use the green carving method, so no one has any other opinions on her carving techniques.The engraving on her arm rest is a small farmyard on the edge of a field in the outskirts. There are many weeds growing in front of the small courtyard, and a wild flower popped out of the weeds, making the scene outside the courtyard suddenly lively;

There was a dog and a chicken in the small yard. The chicken, which was supposed to be eating worms, didn't do what it was supposed to do. Instead, it ran after the dog in the yard.The dog is obviously very courageous, but it is still being chased by the chicken, which only shows that the chicken and the dog get along very well, and such a picture makes people laugh.

Many people looked at this green bamboo carving with a smile on their face, and after commenting, they realized that it was carved by Song Yuyan's apprentice, a young lady, no matter the picture, the knife work, or the creativity. Better than most craftsmen.

Tang Ye was very happy to be recognized by so many people.Of course, she also listened carefully to those who deliberately said that there was a problem with her composition, or that her knife skills were not good enough, and she was going to go back and study more.

Tang Ye's arm rest has also won the favor of many audiences. Some people want to buy her arm rest, but because the competition is still in progress, they can only hold back.

Tang Ye’s Liuqing bamboo carvings have tilted the balance of those who didn’t know Song Lufang at all—if the apprentices can carve such spiritual works, how can the master still be worth it? !

So everyone looked forward to Song Yuyan's bamboo carving.Song Yuyan didn't evade any more, she took out the bamboo carving she had prepared, put it on the table in front of her, and said, "Seniors, please give me your advice."

Everyone took a look--

The openwork master who was praised by Song Yuyan: "..."

The relief master who was also praised by Song Yuyan: "..."

The bamboo carvers who questioned Song Yuyan: "..."

The reactions of everyone on the field were surprisingly unanimous. They had the feeling of being pressed and rubbed on the ground by Song Yuyan, who claimed to be a junior, and their faces were burning with pain.

What Song Yuyan took out was an incense tube. Various techniques such as openwork carving, embossing and leaving green were used on the incense tube to carve out a picture of landscapes. There are not only landscapes in the picture, but also buildings, figures and birds. .

Its composition is full and well-defined, four or five layers can be seen just by naked eyes, and it is delicate and elegant, and even the flying birds in the distance are carved clearly.

As for the knife skills, it is impeccable. With her exquisite and skillful knife skills, the lines of the bamboo carvings are elegant and the pictures are very artistic.The whole work is not only full of creativity, but also full of literati atmosphere.

After this bamboo carving came out, without waiting for Song Yuyan to explain its creation background, a group of people rushed to ask her if she painted this painting by herself?How can she use relief, green and so on while using openwork techniques without breaking the balance of the composition?What's more, he directly asked her if she still accepted apprentices.

Song Yuyan: "..."

Lou Gao, who was in the auditorium, saw the group of literati and rich second-generations with bright eyes, secretly calculated how much he would have to spend to get this bamboo carving out of the price offered by these people.
