"Don't you think it's strange?" Seeing Wu Chen's relaxed face, Mr. Liu wasn't surprised at all.

No, no, what's so strange about this?Wu Chen scratched the back of his head to hide his distraction.

"Children can't be taught!" Old Liu shook his head, he was really going to be so mad at this kid! "Light should be a kind of radiation! However, the light emitted by this bead can't be detected at all, and it can't even be decomposed into a spectrum. Are you surprised?!"

"Uh, that's weird!" Wu Chen replied with a demented look on his face. After being with Liu Laodai for a long time, the IQ and EQ of both of them had a tendency to drop sharply to the level of children.

At this moment, he really didn't take it to heart, as long as it was low-carbon, green and radiation-free, he felt happy when he thought of Huang Xiaolin smiling like a flower!How can I care about Mr. Liu's "reminders" of this and that.

However, soon there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, "Master? Have you returned to the capital?"

"Yeah!" Mr. Liu nodded. For this bead, he went back and invited Ouyang, the curator of the museum, to study with Mrs. Lin, a top jewelry expert, for a few days. This is the current domestic leader. It's Mr. Liu's close friend again, and the final conclusion is almost unanimously agreed that this is the Suihou Zhu re-emerged!

"It's really a blessing to you!" Wu Chen was really grateful. At Liu's age, Yijing should not move. He went back to the capital, which shows how much he attaches importance to this matter!Although it was a special military plane, it was quite exhausting to go back and forth. "Let me give you a pinch."

"That's it!" Mr. Liu was not polite at all, and took credit for it!He waved his hand and slapped Wu Chen casually: "Don't pinch it, it's just your three or two hands, I don't feel it! Oh, no matter how old I am, I can still slap you all over the place, believe it or not. ?”

"Can I not believe it?" Wu Chen glared at the smug old Liu, can we not be so barbaric, this is not like an old man who has been a feudal official and a leader of the central government. Before liberation?

"Just believe it! It doesn't matter if you don't want to learn Wuqinxi, learn from Xiaotie when you have time, don't get beaten outside, and come back crying!" Mr. Liu chuckled, "By the way, Xiaokong's is also good. You hang around all day, be humble, and ask others for advice."

"Got it!" Wu Chen became more and more displeased as he heard it. This is training a preschooler!Kong Si, that pervert, how do you compare?I seem to be learning, let myself stand at night every day, and I am almost depressed to death.

"Master, let's talk about something serious!"

Every man is innocent, but he is guilty!

Wu Chen felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. It is conceivable that ancient treasures like the Suihou Zhu would cause such a stir once they were released.And behind this sensation, how many undercurrents will be hidden, and various forces, I am afraid that they cannot be resisted by themselves.

Mr. Liu will not fail to understand this truth, how could he show it to others!Shouldn't it be donating for yourself?Naturally, the safest place for this kind of treasure is to be placed in the Palace Museum. It is collected in the name of the country. Even if someone covets it, it has to be weighed!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt unreliable, and looked at Mr. Liu eagerly, this is a gift already given to your apprentice-in-law, shouldn't your lover be asked to go back and kneel on the keyboard?

"Look at you, you're so promising!" Old Liu waved his hand coquettishly. He didn't make the decision for Wu Chen at this moment, but made a contribution to "the country".

As for keeping secrets, he naturally understands the importance of this. The people he invites are all at the level of masters, and they are also close friends who can depend on life and death, so there is no need to worry about this news being leaked out.

But having said that, how to take care of it properly is a big problem for Wu Chen, and Mr. Liu naturally wants to give some instructions.The master and apprentice thought of one thing.

After listening to Mr. Liu's words, Wu Chen decided that it would be fine as long as he didn't donate it!

"If you like it all the time, let me let you play with it first." Wu Chen saw that Mr. Liu was a little reluctant to let go of this ready-to-wear pearl, and it was rare to have the old man's rare item, so he made the decision for Huang Xiaolin.

Speaking of which, besides this waiting bead, Kong Si also has an ancient artifact—the ancient Tai'a sword. I don’t know how he hid it. It seems that he has never seen it since he came down from Phoenix Mountain. Didn't the buddy lose it?

"En." Old Liu was not polite, and nodded. There are still too many unsolved problems in Sui Houzhu, and he is just about to study it slowly.

After tidying up and turning on the lights again, Wu Chen remembered the main purpose of coming today, and asked Mr. Liu if he knew any good jade carving masters?It's best to be able to hire them, because Zhongfu Jewelry lacks such a powerful figure.

Mr. Liu already knew about the fact that the few of them jointly opened Zhongfu Jewelry, and Wu Chen even asked him to write a plaque. , but they all use Liu Lao's words!

Speaking of master sculptors, Mr. Liu knows some of them, but most of them are about the same age as him. Even if they are a little younger, they are all at Mr. Tian's age. up.What's more, most of the masters he made good friends with were from the northern sect, and I don't know if they can adapt to letting people abandon their homes and careers and come to this Guangfu.Although if he came forward, the other party would still sell his face, but at this age, Mr. Liu didn't want to force others.

"We don't need to find a master anymore, even disciples and grandchildren can be successful, as long as the skills are decent and the character is good." Wu Chen also knew this truth, but talents were rare, and he had no resources, so he said: "Northern people are not good. It’s convenient to come here, let’s find the one in the south.”

Carving is an important basis for the identification of jade wares. Wu Chen must learn it naturally. Although he has never practiced the craft at all, he can remember the characteristics of various schools and famous teachers in the industry. These are the basic skills. A person who doesn't even know the common carving techniques of masters, but claims to be an expert in jade identification, is afraid that he will laugh to death.

my country's jade treatment technology has a long history. About 60 years ago, the "Beijingers" already knew how to use crystal, agate, serpentine, etc. to make flaky Paleolithic tools. Later, jade treatment technology was gradually separated from stone making technology. After coming out, the jade handicraft industry also began to sprout slowly.

6000 years ago, with the appearance of the original mound machine, jade articles had techniques such as drilling, hollowing out, and polishing, and jade article production gradually entered a mature stage.The obvious craftsmanship of the times began to appear, which is what later generations called "the characteristics of the times" when they identified ancient jade. It is flat, with simple engraving and strong steel.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, jade wares were known for their ability to pick and hide the ground and sharpen the edge, which is related to the widespread use of iron mounds and the more skilled jade figures.Jade craftsmen in the Qin and Han Dynasties often used the method of discarding details and combining thick and soft lines to carve charm and momentum.

From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Song, Liao, and Jin Dynasties, the emergence and promotion of jade-milling Gaodeng played a role in promoting the production of jade wares, so that the jade carving techniques thereafter were powerful and ethereal.The workmanship of jade wares in the Yuan Dynasty gradually became rough; in the early Ming Dynasty, the workmanship was rigorous and exquisite, and in the late period, the workmanship was thick and sloppy; in the Qing Dynasty, the workmanship was fine and meticulous, and the shape was strict.

It can be said that China's jade carving technology has formed a complete evolutionary chain after thousands of years of continuous exploration and accumulation. Unique local factions have been formed. Generally speaking, there are four major schools: "Northern School", "Yang School", "Shanghai School" and "Southern School".

In detail, each genre has its own distinctive features and representatives.

"Northern School" refers to the carving style formed by masters of jade carving in Beijing, Tianjin and Liao, which is solemn, simple and elegant.The "four monsters and one demon" in the capital are the most outstanding.Among them are Pan Bingheng, who is famous for carving group portraits and thin tire craftsmanship; Liu Deying, who is famous for three-dimensional round carvings of flowers; He Rong, who is famous for round carvings of gods, Buddhas and ladies; "Bird Zhang" - Zhang Yunhe.

"Yang School" generally refers to the unique craftsmanship of jade carvings in Suyanghang and other Jiangnan regions. First class.

The "Shanghai style" appeared relatively late. At the beginning of the last century, with the influx of a large number of talents, a specific style gradually formed in the specific cultural atmosphere of Shanghai. The vivid and lifelike animal shapes are characterized by exquisite carvings, rigorous shapes, solemn and elegant.Representatives include "King of Furnace" Sun Tianyi and Zhou Shouhai, "Three Wonders" Wei Zhengrong, "Nanyu Monster" Liu Jisong and so on.

The last is the "Southern School" mainly in the areas of Nanyue and Fuhai. Due to the long-term influence of bamboo and wood ivory carving crafts and Southeast Asian culture, it is also unique in the carving of hollow carvings, multi-layered jade balls and high-end jade jewelry. The shape is plump and echoes. Vivid, exquisite workmanship.

Each school has its own characteristics, but there is no distinction between high and low, so the first thing Wu Chen thought of was the local southern school, which is convenient and does not need to travel long distances.

This idea is good, but Mr. Liu thought about it for a while, and recommended him a candidate named Gu Tiande, who is the current leader of the Yang faction.The old man is getting old, he can't do it himself, maybe he can do it by name, and he has many disciples and grandchildren, so it's not impossible to ask him to help pick a reliable one to come and host it.

When Wu Chen heard this, he was overjoyed. Although he was not very familiar with this industry, he had heard of the ancient names. Speaking of which, in the ears of laymen like them, the ancient names were much bigger than Old Liu. up.Regardless of whether people can get it or not, Gu Gu only serves as the honorary consultant of Zhongfu Jewelry, which is definitely a great help for Zhongfu Jewelry!

Besides, since Mr. Liu is willing to recommend it, it shows that the relationship between the two must be extremely deep, and the old man will not be too refuted to Mr. Liu's face.

"Master, thank you." In a good mood, Wu Chen naturally tried to please Mr. Liu in every possible way, pinching his feet and beating his legs. He made an appointment that Mr. Liu would say hello to Mr. Gu first when he turned back. Wu Chen Go to Yangzhou to visit in person.
