Chapter 2049 Side Story 37: The Beauty Of The Ivory Carving

After staying at the Jasper spring for five days, si yiyan brought Wen Xinya to the famous scenic spots such as the lake of Chi, the Stone Forest, the nine villages limestone cave, and the Grand View Tower. He also brought her to see the famous batilleries and traditional jewelry craftsmanship of yundian. The colorful and unique ethnic crafts gave her a lot of design inspiration.
Another thing worth mentioning was that there were many local snacks in yundian, which had unique flavors and a wide variety, making Wen Xinya always feel that she could not get enough of them.
Of course, what amazed Wen Xinya the most was the beautiful ivory carvings in yundian, which were beautiful and vivid. The character was drawn in detail, full of divine charm. Skillful technique, reaching the realm of perfection; The layout was rigorous, to the point where one could see the minute details.
"I didn't know that there was such a wonderful skill in this world."
Wen Xinya stared at the Ivory carvings on the shelf, unable to take her eyes off them, her heart filled with shock.
Si yiyan held her hand and said,"we can take our time to read it later." &Nbsp;
His palm was dry and thick, and his five fingers were white and slender, like the joints of bamboo. The joints between his five fingers seemed to have no wrinkles. When he held her, his strength was gentle, but full of affection.
"Sir, Madam, please follow me." An old man in his 60s came forward and spoke to them respectfully.
Si yiyan nodded and followed the old man to the guest room.
It was rare for the guest room to be so elegant. An ink landscape painting was hung on the wall of the main hall. Although it was not painted by a famous artist, it was quite artistic. Compared to grandpa's painting, it was somewhat comparable. There were two mahogany tea tables on both sides of the hall. Behind the tea tables was a high antique shelf with antique jade on it. There were also some tea carvings and wood carvings, but most of them were tooth carvings.
Wen Xinya noticed that the sculptures here were much more exquisite than the ones in the lobby earlier on. They must have been made by a famous master.
The old man ordered the servants to serve tea.
The lid of the tea cup was opened, and the room was filled with the fragrance of the ten-mile fragrant tea.
Si yiyan explained to Wen Xinya, " this is old Mr. Yu's residence. He's a Big Shot in the field of carving and craftsmanship. He has carved tens of millions of sculptures in his life and his pair of wonderful hands has the reputation of 'the work of nature, absorbing the spirit of all living things'. All the works that have been carved by his hands are extremely exquisite and captivating. There are countless wealthy and powerful people in the world who love collecting, just to get his wonderful work. &Quot;
Wen Xinya had learned about both jewelry and carving, so she had naturally heard of master Yu. She couldn't help but feel impressed."Did you bring me here today to ask for master Yu's wonderful heavenly work?"
"Of course," si yiyan nodded.
Master Yu was a rather eccentric person by nature, so it was not easy to get his hands on one of his works. Especially in recent years, master Yu had been living in seclusion and was in a semi-reclusive state. There were very few of his works, so it was even more difficult to get his hands on one.
However, he did know that master Yu had been interested in landscape paintings in recent years.
The ink-wash painting on the wall of the main hall was his work.
At this time, the old man who had received them before came in with a few servants holding red sandalwood boxes.
The old man said respectfully, " master has something to do. It's not convenient for him to meet with the honored guests. Please forgive him. The sculpture that master has asked master to carve has been completed. &Quot;
The servants placed the box on the long table.
"Thank you for your trouble, master Yu," si yiyan said.

The elderly man left with the servants, leaving si yiyan and Wen Xinya alone in the living room.
Si yiyan walked forward with Wen Xinya and said, " "The sculptures outside the hall and in the guest rooms are not made by master Yu himself. They're just for aesthetic pleasure."
Wen Xinya was taken aback. She had thought that the works in the guest room were already exquisite and exquisite. To her surprise, they were not master Yu's works.
Then, how stunning would master Yu's work be?
Wen Xinya could not help but feel a sense of anticipation.
&Quot; the first work is called the Phoenix perching on the parasol tree. It is the most beautiful and exquisite work of the three. &Quot;
Si yiyan opened the largest box to see an ivory about a meter long. Its texture was fine and solid, soft and delicate, and its color was as smooth as Jade.
The tusk was carved into the shape of a Phoenix resting on a parasol tree. The thick parasol tree twisted and turned, its branches connecting to the leaves. A Nine-Tailed Phoenix stood on the branch, looking down with its long Phoenix Feathers curled up. Its gaze was vivid, and its posture was noble. Every wing on its body was lifelike.
It was beautiful and stunning.
Wen Xinya was extremely shocked. &Quot; your carving skills are superb. You've reached the point of perfection. It's the best work of the heavens and nature. You're able to absorb the spirits of all living things in the mountains and rivers. You really live up to your reputation. &Quot;
The most difficult part about this Phoenix perching on the Wutong was the complicated carving technique. From the tree patterns and leaf patterns to the Phoenix wings, at least a hundred different carving techniques were used. The most complicated carving technique, the hollow carving, took up half of the craftsmanship of this work.
&Quot; the second piece is the four Arts hairpin. Take a look and see if you like it. &Quot;
There were four carefully carved hairpins in the box. They were round, embossed high, and hollow carvings.
Every piece was exquisite and exquisite.
Although the style was simple, great skill was clumsy, and great simplicity was like workmanship. The simpler the carving, the more it revealed the exquisite skills of the sculptor.
"Oh my God, it's so beautiful." Wen Xinya was pleasantly surprised. She picked up a ten-mile embossed hairpin and touched it, fondling it fondly.
Although the work of a Phoenix perching on a parasol tree was stunning and rare, it could only be a collection that made people fall in love.
And these four hairpins had won her heart even more, making her love them a lot.
She did not expect si yiyan to prepare such a surprise for her. She was touched and filled with sweetness.
"Only such a wonderful skill is worthy of you."
Si yiyan gently removed the suet Jade hairpin from her hair and inserted the other hairpin with white camellia carvings into her hair. The Ivory was as white as Jade and glistened, emitting a soft glow in her hair. The delicate and beautiful Camellia seemed to be alive, as if it was blooming in her hair.
The flowers of inextinguishable heaven were even more beautiful.
Extremely plain, extremely elegant, extremely light, extremely white, all of these made her look even more beautiful.
Wen Xinya touched the hairpin in her hair and looked at the last box in high spirits. &Quot; "What's in the last box?"
With the first three stunning pieces, she was full of anticipation for the third piece.
"Won't you know once you open it?" si yiyan asked with a smile.
He found it a little strange. Master Yu had only agreed to two of his sculptures before, but he didn't expect to have one more. However, he didn't look into it. Master Yu had a strange temperament and was a little fickle, so he couldn't be judged with common sense.
At this moment, Wen Xinya had already opened the last box. When she saw the contents of the box, she couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
