Chapter 050 Carved Jade Family

There are 17 urban areas in Central Plains Province, and the Jade Sculpture Competition is also divided into 17 regions.

From March 3, the preliminary competition of the competition was held vigorously in the whole province. It is said that provincial leaders also valued the competition. On the opening ceremony of the preliminary competition, a provincial party committee leader even came to the venue and delivered a speech, followed by the leaders of various cities below. He came forward and pushed the competition to the peak. The whole situation was like a burning flame. In the blink of an eye, the whole Central Plains Province was burned.

Chen Ran doesn't know how crazy it is outside, but even Chen Ran, who is not at home, can feel the popularity of Yudiao School. Walking in Yudiao School and meeting a student, he is almost talking about the competition, especially in the Yuyuan Building.

For the students participating in the competition, it gives people a feeling of being nervous and looking forward to the college entrance examination, or this jade sculpture competition is more like a road of stars. If they can get a good place in the competition, their value will immediately double. Obviously, it is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. The opportunity.

Everyone is crazy about such an opportunity... With the vigorous end of the preliminary competition, this atmosphere becomes more and more obvious.

Chen Ran cherishes this opportunity, but he is not crazy. The waves are rough outside, but he is still calm.

According to his plan, he wanted to practice the eight-knife method to the extent that he left two traces with one knife before the start of the competition, but now he has encountered a bottleneck.

This is also the first bottleneck of the eight-knife split wave knife method. If you can't break through, you can only stop here for life. If you break through, it is equivalent to taking the first step of the eight-knife wave knife method.

Eight knives divide the waves, leaving eight traces with one knife, and leaving a trace with one knife is undoubtedly the simplest, so it is obvious that changing from one to two is a very important step. Nowadays, Chen Ran has been extremely proficient in knife practice, but when he breaks through this step, he always fails.

After two days of practice without any progress, he saw that the competition was coming, so he could only give up for the time being and listen to the tutor's class for two days, saying that he had attended the class for two days. In fact, he spent most of his time reading in the Yuyuan Building by himself. In these two days, he also gained a lot.

In addition to reading almost half of the books in Yuyuanlou, he also has some understanding of the situation of the students in the cram school. After all, these participants may become his competitors in the future.

There are more than 30 people in the cram school. Although there are not many people, they are complicated by various forces. Almost every student is supported by a large force. Most of them are newcomers trained by various jewelry companies or jade carving workshops. Not only that, but also many children of jade carving families.

The children of these jade carving families all have ancestral jade carving skills and the jade carving experience handed down from their ancestors. There is no doubt that they are all skilled in carving. In the whole tutoring class, they can be said to be Tibetan dragons and crouching tigers, which also made Chen Ran understand that although the so-called jade carving competition is only a newcomer competition, it is actually a competition of major forces.

With the end of the preliminary competition, the selection competition has finally begun. Compared with the preliminary competition, the selection competition will undoubtedly be more sensational and intense.

Early this morning, Chen Ran rushed to the Jade Sculpture School. He participated in the competition as a student of the Jade Sculpture School. During the selection, he had to follow the leading teacher. Yesterday, the school informed the location and time of the selection competition and some rules.

When Chen Ran rushed to the outside of the cram school classroom, although it was less than eight o'clock, there were already more than a hundred people downstairs, all dressed neatly. There were not only participating members present, but also many jewelry companies and jade companies.

After Chen Ran arrived at the place, he glanced at the place and walked towards a dwarf standing in the corner.

"Ah, you came so early!"

Chen Ran went to the dwarf and greeted the dwarf. The dwarf looked only about 17 or 18 years old, with a tiger head, giving people a very simple and honest feeling.

The dwarf has no name, and his name is Ah Han. When Chen Ran went to attend the class, there was only an empty seat next to Ah Han, so that the two became deskmates. Moreover, Ah Han, like him, did not often listen to lectures. He always ran to Yuyuan Building to read. When reading, although the two did not talk, they had a tacit understanding every time. Sitting together.

Ah Han reached out and touched his head and smiled at Chen Ran Han.

Chen Ran nodded and stood quietly in this corner. He just stood here and heard someone greeting him. Looking up, he found that it was Luo Fatty.

Fat Luo ran to Chen Ran breathlessly, glanced at Ah Han, and looked at Chen Ran with a smile: "Brother Chen, how are you prepared? Are you sure?"

Chen Ran smiled slightly without saying anything. This morning, it was just a written examination in the literary examination. With his super memory, the written examination is naturally not a problem.

"Ha ha, just have confidence!"

Although Chen Ran did not answer him, Luo Fatty can also see that Chen Ran is very confident from Chen Ran's look, but to be honest, he doesn't know Chen Ran. In his mind, Chen Ran is just a prince who wants to play with jade.

This kind of thing is not without it, so he is actually not optimistic about Chen Ran. Of course, on the surface, he naturally has to support it.

"A Han!" After saying hello to Chen Ran, Fatty Luo looked at Ah Han, with a joking look on his face: "Ah Han, you are also going to take the exam. If you want me to say, you still have to abstain automatically. When you passed the written examination at school, you will participate in the competition on your little foundation, which is also to discredit our school. I don't know why the school will allow you to participate!"

Chen Ran frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. What Luo Pangzi said was also true. Although he first came here, he also heard about Ah Han. Ah Han has been in school for four years. Every exam is at the bottom, and the bottom is fine. The key is that the score of the written examination is particularly low.

Luo Pangzi said something heavy, but Ah Han was not angry. He just touched his head and smiled kindly.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you!" Fatty Luo looked at Ah Han's stupidity and was also a little upset. He glanced at Chen Ran, saw Chen Ran looking in one direction, and then turned around.

There were more than 30 students participating in the competition, but at this time, almost all of them came. Except for Chen Ran and Ah Han, almost every other student was surrounded by some people, and one of them was the most dazzling.

This student is a young man in his 20s. The young man wears a black suit, and his thick eyebrows on his face rise rebelliously. Under the long and slightly curly eyelashes, he has a pair of eyes that always give people a bad smile, especially the dazzling eyes in his left ear. Diamond earrings add a trace of unruly to his sunshine and handsomeness...

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the young man immediately became the focus of the audience.

Both other students and people from various companies immediately gathered around. The students greeted him cordially. After greeting him, they did not leave, but accompanied the young people to laugh. The people of each company became more enthusiastic, laughing and giving business cards.

"Brother Chen, you should know who this is, right?" Fatty Luo curled his lips with some disdain, but his face was envious and jealous.

Chen Ran shook his head, but he had never seen this person before.

Looking at Chen Ran shaking his head, Fatty Luo was immediately stunned, and then looked at Chen Ran with a surprised face. Besides, you are also a young master. You don't even know this young master. Who are you lying to?

Fat Luo was obviously a person who couldn't hide his words. Chen Ran shook his head to show that he didn't know him, but just gave him the topic. Soon he told Chen Ran the origin of this person clearly.

In ancient times, when jade sculptors or other technicians imparted their skills, there was no doubt that most of them were family inheritance, which was also the reason for the loss of many carving skills, but not all carving skills were lost. Some families slowly passed down, like Miao The master's family is actually like this, but Master Miao's family is a family of chefs.

The Lu family in the Central Plains is also such a family, but the Lu family is a carved jade family.

The origin of the Lu family also comes from the Qianlong period.

When it comes to jade, in fact, we have to talk about Qianlong. Qianlong loves jade. Now most of the 30,000 jade objects in the Palace Museum are hidden by him. Qianlong named his son, the later Jiaqing Emperor, which is the name of beautiful jade. Yongyan's 16 brothers are also named after jade, and Qianlong himself was Later generations are called jade idiots.

In the Qianlong period, most of the jade carvings were large and heavy, and the shapes were neat and symmetrical, creating a unique royal style and creating another peak of Chinese jade craftsmanship. It is said that Qianlong asked three or four palace jade sculptors to carve jade for him every day. In this period, the court jade sculptors were called Qianlong, and the jade was It is called Qianlongyu.

Qianlong jade has been passed down a lot, but most of the jade carving skills of the palace jade sculptors who created these works of art have been lost. Of course, what has really been passed down is not without, like the Lu family in the Central Plains.

The family's art of carving jade, with a unique royal style, is very popular.

And now the Lu family has a five-level jade sculptor.

Lu Tianming was born in a jade carving family. He is young, but he is already a third-level jade sculptor. Even if he doesn't look at the jade carving family behind him, he is undoubtedly the target of major jewelry companies. What's more, there is a jade carving family with a five-level jade sculptor behind him.

"Is this student also a student participating in the competition? Zhao Wuyong, this is my business card. Please keep it!" When Fatty Luo finished speaking, a laughing young man gave Chen Ran a business card. Chen Ran just took it over, and the young man sent a business card to the next student.

"It's a small company at first glance, don't worry about him!" Fatty Luo glanced at the young man and curled his lips disdainfully.

Chen Ran silently looked up and found that the young man had sent business cards to almost all the students present, but most of the students took a look and threw them away. Then many companies sent business cards to Chen Ran. Obviously, these companies are small companies and have little strength. Everyone has a business card. It's all about luck.

"Okay, Brother Chen, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to be busy. Let's talk later in the car!" Fatty Luo greeted Chen Ran and left. According to what he said, he will also go to the examination site with the team this time, which is one of the leading teachers, but Chen Ran believes that Luo Fatty is actually doing logistics errands.

Not long after Luo Fatty left, he ran over breathlessly, smiled at Chen Ran, and looked at Ah Han: " Ah Han, come and help me carry something!"

A Han was stunned, followed by a simple smile and followed Luo Fatty.

Chen Ran frowned again. This fat man obviously bullied Ah Han's good temper. Thinking so, he couldn't say anything.

Soon it will be 8:30, and 8:30 is the time for everyone to leave.

As soon as the time arrived, the teachers who led the team also appeared. First, they greeted the people of various companies, exchanged greetings for a while, and then set out. Those who had a car took their own car, and those who did not have a car took the school shuttle bus. In this way, a group of vehicles killed the Jade Association...
