Unparalleled Treasures

The old man was so teased by her words that he lost his temper, scratched her nose, and said: "You girl is spoiled by me, remember to keep a low profile in the future, this kind of thing is not big, but it is not small. Make a fuss, say that the uninitiated will single-handedly break into the ing bureau after the unincorporated people, how much sensation it will cause, the unincorporated police all serve the country, no matter how you say it, you can't let the uninformed people have a bad impression, now it is the Internet In this era, one is accidentally advertised!"

"But those cops went too far. Zhang Can's face was pale when I went there. If I hadn't remembered my grandfather's teachings, I would have shot down those cops." You girl, if you really have a lover I forgot about grandpa, I have never seen you act so irrationally before. "

Zhang Can stepped forward and said with a smile: "The old man is open-minded, and every sentence he teaches is the truth."

The old man sighed, and then said: "You call me grandpa from now on, don't call me grandpa, old man!"

"It's Grandpa." Zhang Can quickly added.

"That's right!"

Back in the room, I touched the Tianhuang stone in my hand, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. Indeed, for a collector, it is undoubtedly a great fortune to get something he likes, and money is not too important!

This piece of Tianhuang stone is the best material for engraving a seal. He changed his mind and went out with this stone.

I asked many famous seal engraving places in the city. When the boss was jealous again and again, and even offered a high price to buy it, he couldn't help but sigh. Each of these people was sure that they could engrave this seal. Either they looked hesitant, or Reluctantly receiving the goods, there is no confidence that everyone should have.

He inquired repeatedly, and was about to return disappointed, but was finally told by a boss mysteriously: "Here is an old man who specializes in engraving seals for a living. He has worked hard for half his life and has become obsessed with engraving seals. The things that are worth the money have to be brought over and carefully carved, and the things that are not pleasing to the eye are just not accepted.”

Zhang Can got interested, turned left and right in the alley according to the address the boss said, and finally came to this ordinary room full of seals, with a facade of more than a dozen square meters, filled with seals of all sizes, such as Qingtian Stone and Shoushan Stone. Hechang fossil and other high-quality seal carvings are all exquisite. Zhang Can casually took one and looked at it carefully. Although he didn't know much about it, he still admired this ordinary Shoushan stone seal carving. The exquisite knife workmanship and calm Calligraphy looks simple and majestic, a modern seal is actually engraved by Wu Feng, the handles of the chapters are all exquisite, the body of the dragon and python is lifelike, and even the fine scales are meticulous.

All the crafts here are handmade. Zhang Can can be sure that compared with commercialization, this kind of hand-carved seals is undoubtedly unpopular. The high price and long time undoubtedly make hand-carved seals even more difficult. No wonder Zhang When Chan came in, there was only the old man alone.

The old man raised his head and glanced at Zhang Can indifferently. His sallow eyes could still see his earnestness. He looked about 50 years old, but his beard and eyebrows had turned white, and his thin cheeks were filled with casual Tang suit. few.

"This is an old man worthy of respect." Zhang Can thought.

He politely called the teacher and said, "I don't know if the teacher can still carve the seal."

"When you come in, you are a customer. I am not energetic now. I am not a good one, so I will not get it! This house full of engraved seals is my half-life achievement. If you are interested, just choose one, and the price is free." The old man's voice was dull. , seems a bit rigid, obviously not used to communicating with people.

Zhang Can nodded, and walked around the room. He likes to be greedy for cheap things, but he has to divide the objects. Although the seals here are all exquisite, they are undoubtedly decorations for Zhang Can. If he doesn’t use them, he is embarrassed To spoil the achievements of the old people, there are finished products, semi-finished products, and seal engraved fonts on the bottom, but there are also many blank bottoms.

The old man watched him pick up a Fulong chapter that had already been engraved with characters, and explained: "These are ordered by old friends, you can't take them."

Zhang Can smiled, and took out the Tian Huangshi in his pocket. The old man just glanced at it casually at first, and just lowered his head to continue carving, but suddenly raised his head, took two steps forward, snatched the stone, and helped him Eye stalks and bright eyes said: "Extreme Tianhuang steatite, golden in color, fine in texture, bright in blood veins, fine and even in radish lines, smooth as jade in appearance. I have been carving seals all my life, old man, and I have never seen such a good raw material of Tianhuang stone. , if you sell this thing, you will pay a price, if you don’t sell it, I will engrave it for free, provided you can trust the old man’s craftsmanship.”

Zhang Can nodded. He didn't dare to let ordinary people spoil it easily, but when he saw the old man, he said in his heart: "As long as the old man can carve the seal well, the price is not a problem."

The old man's face sank and said: "I said that I don't need money, and I will try my best to engrave it."

Seeing the old man's serious face, Zhang Can smiled politely and said, "What's the old man's name?"

"Me! Everyone calls me Lao Huang, and I forgot the exact name! You can call me whatever you want."

Zhang Can blushed and said, "Then I'll still call Master Huang!"

What shape do you plan to engrave, I have a variety of shapes to choose from here, or the shape you want, as well as the font, explain them one by one, and get the thing after three days or ten days.

Zhang Can nodded, took out a photo from his pocket, and said, "Take this woman as the prototype! As long as the Wuguan can be portrayed, the rest of Master Huang can play as much as he wants. I don't know if there is any difficulty." The woman in the photo Dressed in a white dress, with picturesque features, slim figure and confident eyes, it turned out to be Su Xue's photo.

The old man frowned and said, "Although this woman is beautiful, it's the first time I've used a real person to make a seal. I'm [-]% sure. I'll try my best to pursue perfection. You have thought it through!"

Zhang Can was overjoyed, saying that he really came to the right place. You must know that such requests from customers are rarely fulfilled, because this kind of engraving requires not only knife skills and sculpture skills, but also extremely strict requirements on painting. , How difficult it is to integrate.And the old man said that he was [-]% sure, so [-]% should be no problem!

"What font do you want to use for your font?" the old man asked.

"Fonts can be roughly divided into three categories: regular script, official script, black font, and so on." The old man added.Apparently he was afraid that Zhang Can was an idiot, and the old man had been engraving for most of his life, but he had never seen such a request for engraving a seal.

"Heibody!" Zuo Yuan thought for a while and said.

The old man nodded: "The strokes of the black font are uniform in thickness, and they call themselves Shen Yun. They are indeed a good font."

Seeing that the old man started carving in a blink of an eye, Zuo Yuan thanked him and said, "I'll come back in ten days, please trouble Master Huang."

The old man waved his hand, signaling not to disturb himself, and then buried himself in figuring it out, taking out photos from time to time for comparison.

Zuo Yuan touched his nose boredly, and walked out amusedly, the old man was quite interesting.

Zhang Can had nothing to do within ten days, so he had time to pick up a leak, and to see this kind of term that the industry talked about, has become nothing with the help of his ability. Now there are many antique jades in his room that are privately collected, although they are worthless Something that still looks pleasing to the eye.

On this day, he felt that the time was almost up, and when he came to this seal engraving shop alone, what he saw was still the serious face of the old man, but the thing in his hand was no longer his top-quality field yellow stone.

When the old man saw him, his eyes lit up, he got up and picked up the seal that had been carved, with a little ink, on the snow-white rice paper, he gently pressed four exquisite and pleasing characters: "Wu Shuang Treasure Book" There are two small characters of "Zhang Can".It looks pleasing to the eye.

The old man handed the seal to Zhang Can with some reluctance and said, "This seal is the most impressive one I have carved."

Zhang Can glanced at the old man amusedly, nodded with a smile and said, "If Master Huang likes it, he can hold it in his hand and play with it. When he remembers the boy, give it to me."

Master Huang shook his head and said: "This engraved seal looks like the person in your heart. It's meaningless for others to take it."

Zhang Can's old face is limited in thickness, and the old man said with a serious expression, "Master Huang is very wise."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but look at this exquisite yellow engraved seal, and couldn't help but exclaim aloud, the dizzy yellow light was hazy, Su Xue's whole body was pretty on the seal, even the folds of her clothes were clear, if she didn't see it with her own eyes As you can see, who would have thought that time would have such a perfect craftsmanship.The above Su Xue lacks the personality foreshadowing, looks as cold as jade, and has a temperament like flowers, which makes Zhang Can a little bit fond of it.

The exquisite and undulating body shape is breathtaking. This piece of Tianhuang stone is already alive. The most important thing is that it is only half the size of a baby's fist. Seal, go to carve emerald jade, wouldn't it be even more useless.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, the old man seemed to see through his mind and said: "I can only carve seals, and I can only carve seals. A person's energy in this life is limited, and I hope to specialize in one without messing around."

Zhang Can took out a bank card and said, "This thing carved by Master Huang is undoubtedly a rare treasure. It costs [-] yuan for handwork. I hope Master Huang will not dislike it."

The old man stared, took the card and handed it back, "I said that if I don't want money, I won't ask for a penny. What did you say when you were an old man?"

"It's admirable that the old man insists on principles, but the boy also has principles. The boy's principle is not to owe each other. Although the [-] dollars spent on this is a bit vulgar, but the boy asks for peace of mind and asks Master Huang to accept it."

Master Huang glanced at him and said, "You are a nice person, I will accept the money!"

"Speaking of which, the old man actually made a fortune after walking around for a long time. The price is considered sky-high for someone in the industry to carve a chapter!" The old man laughed at himself.

"For me, this seal is priceless. Money is something outside of me. I gave it to Master Huang. I still think that he has turned Master Huang into a layman."

The old man said noncommittally: "You engraved this seal firstly as a woman, and secondly as Wushuang Baojian. These four words make me a little confused. It can be seen that it should be an appraisal of the antique world. I don't know much about it. , It’s just that the Wushuang Baojian has a serious tone, I have a car as a gift from the junior, if it’s convenient, I’d like to let your Wushuang Baojian four characters be engraved on it first.”

Zhang Can also became interested, and he couldn't help being uninterested in what the old man was interested in.
