This cannot be blamed on him, but the young man's own fate can only be blamed.
Why did you choose to represent Nanpai in the competition? Why do you have to bring such good jade materials? Can't you keep a low profile as a human being?
Don't you know if you hit the head with a gun?
Looking at Xia Ziyuan sarcastically, Wang Congmin's gloomy thoughts slowly subsided.
Twelve hours are actually very long, from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, the quick hands and feet are basically finished three hours ago. But you can't leave the scene, you have to wait until everyone has finished handing in before leaving.
Xia Ziyuan finished carving at around five o'clock in the afternoon. For the sake of beauty, he began to polish the jade again. Originally, this kind of work could be done in the later stage, but he felt that it must be perfect to make his works shine brightly under the witness of many people.
This has always been his consistent work style. He likes to deal with all the details at once, and he will also take some small issues into consideration before starting. When you do it, you will feel less rushed, and follow the set procedures step by step, and naturally do everything that needs to be done.
Seeing the serious expression of the little apprentice polishing his work calmly, Zhou Mingzhang felt very happy. Although he taught Qiao Fucheng the same way before, but he was always lazy and couldn't do it properly.
Compared with the little apprentice, it is really heaven and earth.
A person's personality is very important, everything depends on it. Qiao Fucheng was not only lazy, but also had a bad mind, wasting his hard work for so many years.
He also spent some thought on this little apprentice, but he didn't spend so much effort on cultivating it. He just guided and guided the child by himself, and the child became transparent by himself. I feel that it is very easy to teach him, and I don't need to keep staring at the side all the time.
Whether it is the design or the completion of the carving, the little apprentice is in harmony with his heart.
Wang Congmin has been circling around his little apprentice, he must be greedy for his few pieces of jade, to be honest, that girl Xia Yu's stuff is really good, he hasn't seen such good stuff for many years .
With good materials and the knife skills of the young apprentice, I believe that what is made must be a stunning masterpiece, which will blind the eyes of the Beipai.
Ten hours later, the organizing committee collected all the entries and put them side by side, numbering from the first to the last number, neatly arranged. Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly tell the quality of which piece of work is finished.
Among the more than fifty works, Xia Ziyuan's "Drunken Concubine" red agate Southern School jade carving is the most prominent. Not only is the jade material attractive, but the carving skills are also very amazing.
The imperial concubine's facial features are full, her face is soft and smiling, the lines on the high bun are clearly visible, and even the beads on the hairpin's head are round. The streamers of the dress also fluttered with the drunken concubine.
The entire vessel-shaped figure is very delicately depicted, whether it is hair or fingernails, it is highly recognizable. The pavilions and pavilions behind her are also magnificently carved, reflecting the extraordinary status of the imperial concubine.
It seems as if one mouth is about to sing: "the ice wheel is away from the island, the universe is extremely bright, and the bright moon is in the sky Chang'e leaves the Moon Palace, slaves are like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace"
Of the eight judges, except for Zhou Mingzhang, the other seven surrounded the jade carving and commented.
"This young man is not easy. It is really not easy to make the sculpture smooth and smooth in ten hours."
"I've been watching him secretly. The child didn't raise his head as soon as he lowered his head. He was all focused on the work in his hands. It can be seen that the hand, eye, and knife have really become one."
"The things he brought are not bad. They are grown in old pits and have no impurities at all. This piece of jade is not big, but he made the most of this piece of jade and didn't let its value be damaged by half. This young man will definitely The future is boundless, and I don't know who sent it, how come there are so many people in the circle, and none of us know about it?"
"That's right! It's great to hide it. Look, this skill is from the Southern School, it must be from Lao Zhou."
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look for Zhou Mingzhang, only to see him standing by himself looking at Qiao Fucheng's carvings in a daze.
Qiao Fucheng was trained by him with a lot of hard work, but unfortunately he was knocked down before he learned all his skills. I guess I haven't touched much in these years, and I have made a lot of hands. The carved things are still decent in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of experts, they are not worth mentioning.
His jade material is not very good, there is a tinge of yellow in the sapphire, if it is handled properly, it can make a good thing. It's just that he didn't achieve the desired effect when dealing with it. The wisp of yellow was not used, but avoided skillfully.
Although it is reasonable to deal with it in this way, it is probably not designedIt is more appropriate to include it from time to time, otherwise it will make people look out of place.
"Oh! Old Zhou! What are you looking at here? Tell me, who is this Xia Ziyuan? A new apprentice? Have you given him all your life skills?"
"That's right! Have you brought out all the jade materials you have treasured?"
Someone came and pulled Zhou Mingzhang to the jade sculpture of "The Drunken Concubine", pointed at it, and asked, "Tell me, did your little apprentice make this thing?"
Looking around at the person staring at him, waiting for his answer, Zhou Mingzhang smiled: "This child is not my apprentice, but my assistant. He has been learning carving since he was a child. Whether it is wood carving or stone carving, he has contact with him." However, the talent is not bad, and I occasionally recruit some helpers."
The purpose of deliberately belittling Xia Ziyuan's identity is to make people pay too much attention to him. Even if he is one of his assistants, he is better than the apprentices he has accepted seriously before.
"Assistant?" One of the judges felt a little unbelievable, "Your assistant is not simple, you have learned your southern skills thoroughly? Look at the way this character's earlobe is cut, you have always been proud of it! You handed this over to him too, how could it be as simple as an assistant? Did you see a good seedling and want to accept it but are afraid of being slapped in the face and dare not accept it?"
Looking carefully at Xia Ziyuan's works, Zhou Mingzhang nodded with satisfaction: "It's not that I'm afraid of being slapped in the face, it's because I'm afraid of being hurt, and I dare not exchange my sincerity for other people's lies."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone knew who he was talking about. Speaking of which, this old Zhou is really unlucky. He raised an apprentice heartily. He was originally raised as a son, but he was bitten back. It would be a lie to say that he is not chilling.
"I'm old, can I live in peace and stability for a few years? I definitely can't accept my apprentice, but taking an assistant will save me a lot of workload. From now on, my Nanpai will be handed over to my little assistant to take care of it. Now, I¡¯ll live a few years with peace of mind. Drinking tea, chatting, playing chess and playing with birds is fine.¡±
In a few words, Zhou Mingzhang clearly introduced Xia Ziyuan's identity, as long as everyone present can understand, even if this young man is his assistant, he has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and is more popular than ordinary apprentices.
The Southern faction will depend entirely on this young man in charge from now on. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
