Although Shopkeeper Xu¡¯s intentions are known to everyone, this is actually the doubt in everyone¡¯s mind.
How can an ordinary jade bead produce a sound, or the sound of ancient music?
Faced with strong pressure, the host could only frown and said to Yue Ao: "Mr. Xiaoyue, it stands to reason that I should ask you to explain the mystery. This is against the rules, because we have never let anyone win the prize in the Yangcheng Jade Exhibition. Interpret the production process. After all, the craftsmanship is the secret of a jade maker. It is also a secret and cannot be passed on to others. But today I take the liberty to ask you to tell me and tell everyone how you make a jade bead. It makes such a beautiful sound."
The host paused and continued: "I believe that everyone wants to know the truth, and if you can reveal it to us, it will definitely be helpful to your score in the competition."
Yue Ao nodded and said: "Actually, there is no secret. I can show it to everyone without reservation. But before that, I want to use the time that originally belonged to my speech to say one thing."
"Actually, I have been preparing for this conference for a year. As we all know, Qiushan Pavilion has long been estranged from this award. The reason why I must participate in this conference is simply to welcome back to the Yue family someone who once belonged to him. honor. For this reason, I also followed the usual practice and chose an extremely rare piece of aniseed and field topaz. I spent half a year carving several climbing yellow sheep. Firstly, I could fully demonstrate my skills. Secondly, In order to please the fifty years of Qiaoyang City's great development. Although I am young, I know how to do what others like. After all, everyone has greed. I even dreamed that I won the championship. But unfortunately, , just five days before I was about to compete, a thief broke into my house and smashed the work in front of me."
"Hey, little thing, what do you mean by this? Poor sales? God knows whether you have had that work before." Mr. Zhao snorted: "Next, are you going to talk about how miserable your family is and how unyielding you are? ? Haha, little trick."
Shopkeeper Xu also sneered: "If there is a thief in your home, go to the police. What's the point of saying this here? Are you trying to pin this crime on someone?"
Yue Ao looked at the guilty expressions of the two people and said with a smile: "What I want to say is exactly the opposite. After this work was smashed, I faced the memorial tablets of my grandfather and father for a long time in the Xiang Pavilion of our home. Later, I figured it out. The reason why this work is broken is because my grandfather and father somehow did not allow me to bring such a work to the exhibition. Good jade comes from Pingzhou, Huacai is proud of it, good jade It is completely natural, and the workmanship is at its peak. How can it be tarnished by flattery? So, I chose a piece of the jade residue that was broken into pieces and made this work. Once it came, I warned myself, Secondly, I also want the jade lovers here to see the jade carving work of our Yue family."
After Yue Ao finished speaking, he walked straight to the delivery platform and placed his jade beads in front of the camera.
Having said so much, it was only then that the exhibitors in the distance saw clearly that this was indeed a top-grade Hetian jade.
This bead is only about the size of the belly of your thumb. It has a bright and rich color and a mild oily luster. Unfortunately, it is a bit small.
"Isn't it the work of carving jade?"
"Yes, why can't you see what is carved somewhere?"
While everyone was staring at the screen and talking, Yue Ao blew lightly on the bead, and the Hetian jade bead actually started to rotate. It didn't rotate as a whole, but the shell didn't move, and the jade core that was smaller inside started to rotate again. change.
In an instant, a hollow surface appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, someone exclaimed: "Good craftsmanship, this is the famous ghost ball."
That¡¯s right, what Yue Ao spent two days and one night carving was the Ghost Work Ball.
?? Ghost balls are generally carved from jade, ivory, and giant bones. They are mostly in the shape of white flower balls. They are layered inside and outside and hollowed out. The inner and outer spheres have hundreds of flower holes, which are gorgeous and colorful. The important thing is that the colors of the inner and outer patterns must be coordinated and unified. When the inner ball rotates to a smooth surface, no trace of carving can be seen on the outside. This is why, under everyone's gaze just now, they only saw a jade bead.
"It's so exquisite!" The host couldn't help but exclaimed: "If Mr. Yue hadn't moved for a moment, I would be close to you, but I still wouldn't be able to see that the inner and outer balls are carved and separated."
Shopkeeper Xu stood up and said: "Okay, it's just a ghost ball. I can do it. I just need to spend more time."
Before he could finish speaking, Yue Ao moved slightly, and the rotating bead inside moved again, and the third jade core also came out.
Then came the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers, a total of seven layers, perfectly displayed in the camera.
You know, Guigongqiu also has a name, Ivory.Because ivory is soft and easier to carve than jade, the number of carving layers on an ivory ball can reach dozens at one time. But the quality of jade is different. Jade is brittle and will break if you don't pay attention. Therefore, no matter how hard the jade carving masters of all dynasties and generations from the Tang and Song dynasties to the Republic of China tried, their jade craftsmanship balls could not break through the fifth layer. Moreover, they were still egg-sized jade balls. But Yue Ao not only carved seven layers, but also made jade the size of glass beads. You can imagine the difficulty.
"Could it be that the song of the General's Order that Yuzhu sang just now came from the mottled holes in these carvings?" The host asked the confusion on behalf of everyone.
Yue Ao nodded and said: "Yuzhuo has a sound. When the ghost ball spins, the faster the speed, the louder the sound."
At this moment, in fact, all the jade exhibition people already have their own champion works in their hearts.
But Yue Ao stopped the rotating ghost ball and fixed the second layer of jade surface. Everyone discovered that there was actually a small human figure carved on the fine pattern. Then, Yue Ao also found a human figure on the third floor, and there was a human figure on the jade cores on the fourth, fifth, and even seventh floors.
The already shocked crowd almost went crazy.
You must know that the innermost jade core is only the size of an apple seed, but everyone can clearly see the figure carved by Yue Ao. The figure has a smooth face, bright eyes and white teeth, and it is clearly Yue Ao himself.
"At such a young age, with such carving skills, he is really a strange person in the world!"
"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced. In terms of the craftsmanship of carving jade, no one can compare with the Yue family!"
"That's true, butwhy did he carve his own head? Narcissism, or showing off his skills? Haha, that's interesting."
At this time, Yue Ao took the initiative to speak.
"Everyone is curious about why I want to carve my appearance, and who are the remaining five people besides me. I can tell everyone that I am not narcissistic to the point of being shameless. In fact, the remaining five people , are my father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great ancestor, and heavenly ancestor. Your works span five thousand years, and are carved with benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality. But without carving, what is jade? Why should I carve it? Six generations of our family? Because they are the six generations of the head of the Yue family in Gusu. My ancestor Yue Lie was originally a stonemason, self-taught. Because he liked jade, he dug in the mountains day and night. Finally, I finally found a piece of rough jade, and from then on the Yue family became the home of jade lovers. Each of the six generations of the Yue family held on to the simplest love for jade. They worked hard and worked hard to make the Yue family what it is today. I just want to Use the smallest materials and the smallest family stories to tell all colleagues, hardships and hardships, jade Ru Yu Yucheng, this is the true love of jade, and also the spirit of jade. If we like jade, we just like it to be a smooth stone. Just because it represents money and value, that is blasphemy against jade. Jade is in the mountains and the wood is moist, and jade is in the mountains and the rocks are shining. Those of us who make a living on jade should use 'jade' as a mirror to straighten our bodies. Morality."
Yue Ao was young, dressed in a long gown, and his impassioned words resounded throughout the jade exhibition hall.
After everyone was silent for a few seconds, a wave of applause broke out.
Manager Bao burst into tears and murmured amidst the cheers: "Old shopkeeper, have you seen it? This is the new owner of Qiushan Pavilion. He is really just like you. No, let me get excited for a moment. He is better than you." He also understands jade.¡±
The host also started to speak incoherently. After some adjustments, he loudly said: "All the works in the jade exhibition today have been displayed. The judges can now score the last work"
"Wait a minute!" At Mr. Zhao's signal, shopkeeper Xu walked up to the stage and said loudly: "These are all lies. I have to see if the jade bead carving is real or fake. It's too far away. No, I can't see clearly. What if you glued it together?"
¡°As he said that, without waiting for the host¡¯s permission, he already grabbed the ghost ball in his hand.
"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, you can't take other people's works!" The host said loudly: "Even if it needs to be verified, it must be checked by the judges."
Shopkeeper Xu let go and shouted: "Oh, no, my hands are slippery and I can't hold it" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
