Sui Yu Tou Zhu

Ji Shenyu didn't sleep well all night, lying on his side, his cheeks rubbing against the pillowcase, he opened his eyes frequently, but was forced to close them again by the thick darkness outside the window.Gradually fell asleep, woke up as soon as it sensed dawn, and simply got up in the morning to study.

He sat on the porch breathing fresh air, holding a Chinese book and reading in a low voice. After reading a chapter, the magpie on the tree branch croaked loudly, as if echoing him.He was happy to read, lit up his voice and read aloud, recited poems, one after another.

Another page was turned, and an earth-shattering sound came from behind.

The bedroom door was kicked open, and Ding Han stood in the middle of the door with a white face like a Shura, surrounded by hostility, if he held a sword, he would definitely stab someone.He suppressed his yawn, and cursed at Ji Shenyu who was stunned: "Keep reading, I'll see what flowers you can read, disturbing people's dreams early in the morning!"

Ji Shenyu feared that he would suffer further disasters, so he said "sorry" and ran to the front yard.

During the day, he was upset when he was in class, and he disturbed Ding Hanbai's sleep. Now it was his turn to be so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and the handwriting left on the book was a little crooked.After spending the day in a daze, he rushed all the way to Miao'an Alley after school.

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 hurry up and finish talking, 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 there classmates bullying you at school?"

Ji Shenyu answered no, he thought, Liang Hecheng was depressed for a long time after his illness, and he finally met him, and he used his remaining energy to pass on his craft. field hit?

Maybe he is really not good at disguising, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows reveal his mind, Liang Hecheng still smiled: "Have you gone to Tongcun, have you found a place?"

Ji Shenyu didn't dare to lie: "I found it."

Liang Hecheng knocked on his forehead: "Say it yourself, don't let me squeeze toothpaste."

Ji Shen said: "Master, that porcelain kiln has been abandoned... I heard from the villagers that it has been more than a year, and I have not seen your friend Tong Peifan."

Liang Hecheng was stunned for a moment, his smile froze and then recovered.He rested for a long period of time and had almost no contact with the outside world. He did not expect to have overturned.Feeling silently in his heart, he raised his eyes again to see Ji Shenyu lowered his head, as if he was more lost than himself.

The room is quiet, and the old semiconductor occasionally makes a little noise. The old and the young are silent, miserable.The sky was getting dark, Liang Hecheng finally said: "Stop hysteria, I think it's going to rain, hurry home."

Ji Shenyu asked: "Master, 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 wildly, but the section of Cha'er Street was enough to get wet.He ran up the steps, stood under the eaves, and saw a person riding from the intersection in the distance.

The showers were fierce, and all the pedestrians seemed to be running for their lives, but the man was riding the bicycle slowly, holding the handlebar with one hand and holding an umbrella with the other, and his whole body was not wet from the chest up.

As the other party approached, the eaves of the umbrella lifted slightly, and it was Ding Hanbai.

Ding Hanbai got out of the car and threw the umbrella to Ji Shenyu, and carried the car in with one hand holding the beam.From the gate to the front yard, he took the umbrella to support the two of them, and they entered the living room with dripping water.

Ji Shenyu forgot his troubles for a while, and asked amusedly, "Brother, how can you be content with such a heavy rain?"

Ding Hanbai said: "Autumn in the north doesn't like rain, and winter is drier, so you have to enjoy rainy days." He didn't tell the truth, the reason for the rain is because it's hot and dry recently.

As for why it is so hot, it seems to be because American ginseng has been chewed too much.

This rain lasted for three days, intermittently, soaking the entire city.The sound of rain disturbed him, but Ji Shenyu thought a lot about what he and Liang Hecheng would do without porcelain kilns.

It was cold and overcast in the morning, the roses in the small courtyard were dilapidated, and the wind was blowing.

But the South Room was quite lively, with five senior brothers gathered together, as well as master Ding Yanshou.Seven or eight cardboard boxes were neatly arranged, and inside were all stones brought back from Xi'an. They were placed in Yupinji before, and they had just been moved home after the identification.

Ding Yanshou sat down: "One person picks a piece, and the homework will be handed in early next month."

When the box was opened, ordinary and high-priced materials, jade and stones were all included.The second child to the fourth child stand still and wait for Ding Hanbai to pick first. It's not about the order of seniority, but mainly for weighing the difficulty.

If Ding Hanbai chooses the big one, they can't take the too small one.

If Ding Hanbai chooses the general price, it will be difficult for them to take the high price.

However, Ding Hanbai never chose common price materials, and he didn't even look at them. He walked up to Baiyu, leaned over and asked, "Dad, what do you want for the order from the third store?"

Ding Yanshou said: "Jade carved flower vases, one in Ming style and one in Qing style."

Ding Hanbai stretched out his hand and touched a piece of white jade that was long on his forearm: "That's it, I'll take that order." He got up and left after making up his mind, he was indifferent to what others chose, he was cold, and he was going to go back to the room for another night's sleep.

Ding Er and the next one, Ding Keyu and Jiang Tingen finished the selection one after another, and finally it was Ji Shenyu's turn.Ji Shenyu rarely procrastinated, and seemed to have made up his mind early on, saying, "Master, I will choose that piece of sapphire."

The other three cast their gazes, each with emotion.

Among the materials in this batch, the two pieces of sapphire are the best and most expensive. Ding Hanbai was not selected because the customer requested to use white jade.That Ding Hanbai did not choose, so who would have thought that Ji Shenyu would dare to choose.

When leaving after the selection, Jiang Tingen grabbed Ji Shenyu and asked, "What are you planning to carve?"

Ji Shenyu said honestly, "It hasn't been decided yet."

Jiang Tingen was anxious for him: "Then you choose Qingyu? Brother didn't even choose!"

Ji Shenyu asked back: "Brother, if I don't choose, I can't choose? Shouldn't he choose me? Don't worry, I will do my best to complete it, and I will definitely live up to the material."

And on the day he got the sapphire, he roughly cut it to size, cut off a third, wrapped the smaller piece properly, put it in a backpack, and ran to Miao'an Alley again.

The two masters and apprentices met again, and these two people were thinking about it for the past few days, and at this moment they were happy to see each other again.Liang Hecheng greeted the obedient apprentice to sit down, without delay, and cut to the chase: "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 house was because the rows were separated by mountains, and even if they could carve, they would not be able to escape Ding Yanshou's eyes.

Liang Hecheng said: "You are Boss Ding's apprentice, you are best at carving, and you met me again, isn't it destined for us to work together?" It is to let him teach Ji Shenyu, and it is also to let Ji Shenyu fill the gap that he can't get involved in.

If it is a fake jade antique, it doesn't matter if there is no porcelain kiln.

This time it was Ji Shenyu's turn to be dazed, opened the bag with eyes wide open, and peeled off layers of wrapping to reveal the original appearance of sapphire.He burst out laughing, laughing deeper and deeper: "Master, I think the same as you."

Liang He patted the table happily: "Since you brought sapphire, are you thinking about what to do?"

Ji Shenyu replied: "Jade boy in Song Dynasty, holding a lotus, riding a deer and climbing flower branches."

The two masters and apprentices locked themselves in the inner room, where the broken table was the workbench.Ji Shenyu studied ink, he had never seen Liang Hecheng paint, and his expectation was mixed with dissatisfaction, after all, which apprentice has never had the big dream of "green comes from blue and is better than blue".

The paper was not big, so Liang Hecheng cocked his sixth little finger to write, and it didn't take him long to draw a boy holding a lotus walking. He taught: "The jade boy in every dynasty is different. Hold a lotus, ride a deer, walk and climb branches, have short hair, clothes with diagonal checks or water patterns, and pay attention to facial expressions down to the shape of eyebrows and ears."

This is not sculpting according to the heart, every line must be carefully planned, and if there is a slight difference, the authenticity will be identified.

This small piece of sapphire is enough to make a well-behaved jade boy, so Ji Shenyu decided to just walk while holding a lotus.Liang Hecheng stared at his painting, which was exquisite and delicate. "Master." He couldn't help asking, "How many things are hidden in your brain?"

Liang Hecheng said, "Just enough to scare you."

Ji Shenyu has his own concerns. The counterfeit rate in the antique market is as high as [-]%. How many highly skilled masters hide in it 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 types of calligraphy and painting, but Liang Hecheng seems to understand them all.

He suddenly thought of Blind Zhang, and asked, "Master, you are so powerful, can that Blind Zhang still see?"

Liang Hecheng said: "That man grew up in the treasure pile, and with his talent, he can't speak clearly in a few words." He was going to stop, but he wentssip again, "His house was cleaned up in a special period, and his eyes I was also blind at that time, I guess I saw a lot, and I was tortured so that I lost my ambition to compete."

Ji Shenyu thought, this pair of enemies should become confidants when one was fighting and the other was terminally ill.

He really thought too much, not only thinking too much, but thinking the other way around.

One autumn rain and one cold, and two days later, Ding Hanbai asked for leave at home on the grounds that the weather was cooling... He always did this, challenging Zhang Yin's bottom line in different ways, and the other party was willing to endure it, waiting to save enough fame his job.

The machine room was too cold, so he carried the piece of white jade to the study room, cleaned his hands and meditated, and started to carve magnolia flower vases.First spread a layer of thick felt cloth, place the white jade properly, and draw the shape after getting the right size.

Ding Hanbai had sharp ears and eyesight, he dipped his ink in his hands and noticed the footsteps outside, they were soft and quiet, not knowing who the thief was.

The door was slightly opened, but the amber eyes were so recognizable that the thief himself didn't know that he had been exposed, and stepped back to leave.Ding Hanbai lowered his head to look at Yu, but his voice was raised: "Everyone is here, so why go?"

Ji Shenyu stopped in his footsteps, so he had no choice but 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 exposing what he was doing.do what?He was holding a few boxes of paints and was looking for rice paper for coloring. After a long time in the jade year, it turned yellow and brown due to Qin, and he adjusted it for making jade boys.

Walking to the table, he murmured: "Brother, you are drawing the line."

Ding Hanbai didn't raise his eyes, he smelled the paint and asked, "Painting?"

Ji Shenyu said "um", the movement was as light as the footsteps.Go around behind the table, move a chair and sit next to it, spread the paper and color it, tick a little bright yellow, tick a little brown, and carefully explore the proportions.

The shape has been drawn, Ding Hanbai asked: "I heard that you chose sapphire, what are you going to engrave?"

Ji Shenyu replied: "Jade incense stove, three legs, double butterfly ears and live rings."

Ding Hanbai finally looked up at him: "The difficulty is not small."

Ji Shenyu nodded, of course he knew, aside from the preciousness of that piece of sapphire, if he cut off a small piece to make a jade boy, it would reduce the value.Therefore, it must be difficult to carve, and the high selling price can make up for it in the future.

He adjusted it for a long time but did not show any satisfaction, so he put the pen down and admired others.This piece of white jade was also cut in half. He remembered that one was made in the Ming style and the other in the Qing style. He asked for advice, "Brother, is there a big difference between Ming and Qing jade flower vases?"

Ding Hanbai said in a few words: "It was invented in the Ming Dynasty."

It was only four words, but Ji Shenyu understood immediately.Invented in the Ming Dynasty, it must be simple and rough at times. After a generation of development, it will become slightly more complex and diverse. The Ming and Qing Dynasties are not too long ago, so there will be no major changes in the shape of the utensils.

He admired enough and continued to color.

This time it was Ding Hanbai's turn to look sideways, looking at the yellowish-brown spots and feeling disgusted: "What are you doing?"

Ji Shenyu said with a guilty conscience, "I color-painted...a loquat tree."

Ding Hanbai sighed, took down the pen and washed it off, and tapped the tip of the pen into the paint box, three yellows and one brown, and after spreading 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 paint seriously.

He turned his face to look at the open window, and the trees in the courtyard were exposed between the four sides. He suddenly had a sudden inspiration and sketched out the outline structure at will.Unable to stop, one stroke after another, green trees, luxuriant leaves, yellow fruit, rendering the bleak sky, he leaned on the table, and gradually completed a loquat tree with distinct colors.

Ding Hanbai stopped his gaze, looked at the painting, at Ji Shenyu's tightly pursed lips, and at the words he wrote.

tea incense

Loquat Yinghuang

The garden steals the spring light

Jiu Ming Zai Sang

Ying cries near the window

Pedestrians go far away

heartbroken

The small courtyard, the shallow pond, and the singing of the birds, all of which fit well when I came here from Yangzhou is a faraway place, but Ding Hanbai is not happy.He has always wanted to pick quarrels and provoke troubles when he was unhappy, and he wanted to teach him a lesson, asking: "Delicious and delicious, and I love you, what kind of heart are you breaking?"

Ji Shenyu had no other intentions, but whispered: "Why do you love me?"

Ding Hanbai held back for a long time, please eat noodles with fried sauce, go shopping with him, hug him when he is injured... He didn't bother to list them all, so he coldly dropped a harsh sentence: "Baiyanlang, let you know from now on. What is it that grandma doesn’t love you and uncle doesn’t love you.”

Ji Shenyu smiled brightly: "Grandma and uncle have nothing to do with you, aren't you the eldest brother?" He pretended to be stupid, leaned over to subdue, and helped the other party clean up the fallen jade shavings.

Ding Hanbai looked at him coldly, and he boasted again, this white jade looks good without carving.He didn't know whether to praise jade or praise others, but he knew that Ding Hanbai's eyes were cold and hot.

There was a gust of 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 firm.Liang Hecheng went to get a haircut, and lined up to enter the venue energetically, to see the official recruitment.

Walking around in small steps, I saw a gold-painted six-edged water bowl. Things are not rare, but people wearing sunglasses in front of the showcase are rare.

In order to protect cultural relics, the light in the museum should not be too bright, so it is sick to wear sunglasses.Liang He passed by and said to himself: "The turquoise green glaze bottom, the color is a bit tacky."

The people around didn't turn their heads, and shouted: "The inner wall of alum red color, the outer wall of pastel color, red and green dog stinky fart, it suits you."

The two old men turned their faces to face each other, with subterranean smiles, dislikes but not separation, sticking together and continuing to stroll.Raising the bar all the way and choking all the way, the staff all looked at them.

Entering another hall, Zhang Sinian said: "I heard that you are sick, can't you work?"

Liang Hecheng replied: "I can't do it, can't I just hang out all day long?"

Zhang Sinian sneered: "I said earlier that you have no future in this line of work, and you can only stop when you encounter disasters. Unlike me, as long as you can see with one eye, it doesn't hinder you. Otherwise, you can take me as your teacher and change your line of work."

Liang Hecheng felt that arguing was boring, but it was interesting to declare war, and said, "I have taken in an apprentice." Seeing the other party's surprise, he added, "When I fall down, you think you are the boss? My apprentice is very talented and very smart. The point is that he is only seventeen, so he will beat you to death."

Zhang Sinian still smiled: "Boil me to death? I'll boil you to death first." Stepping out of the museum gate side by side, the spacious and bright hall said, "You monster with six fingers can take an apprentice, I can't? My apprentice is very talented, Don't try to escape his eyes for what your apprentice makes."

Liang Hecheng said loudly: "Okay! Then try!"

The two old clappers made an agreement that they were a spear and a shield, they couldn't tell who was strong and who was weak, and the left and right were old, so let the apprentice take the lead.See if your hand is strong, or my eyes are bright.

Ding Hanbai and Ji Shenyu didn't know it at all, and they were gathering together to appreciate the painting.Ding Hanbai was shameless, he took out his seal and stamped his paintings and characters, causing Ji Shenyu to scold him, and he ignored him after scolding, and continued to adjust the yellow, yellow and brown spots.

"Hey, how do you Yangzhou people swallow sentences when you write poems?"

Ding Hanbai found out early in the morning, and only mentioned it at this time. When Ji Shenyu turned his head to look at it, he took a pen to fill in the back of "Changing the spring in the garden" - the day is long in the world.

Their eyes collided, their faces blushed, and they completely forgot that it was autumn.
