Chapter 1031 – Red Hare Horse Guan Gong Statue (I)

“Old master, what kind of object is this ……? How come there are two more?”

Zhuang Rui saw the ancient old master holding an object in one hand, his eyes immediately straightened, looking carefully, it seems to be a figure and an animal, due to the wrong angle, Zhuang Rui could not see what exactly is the object.

“Nuo, these serial matches, it’s really considered my closing work, you kid don’t take good material to tempt me this old man in the future.”

Gu Tianfeng let Zhuang Rui put away the tea set, carefully placed the objects in his hands on the coffee table, this more than a month, in addition to sleeping and eating, the old man’s energy is almost all on these few things, it is really tired.

However, since Zhuang Rui lived in, the ancient felt that his spirit seemed to have improved, so this closing was particularly smooth, he didn’t realize that it was Zhuang Rui using his spiritual qi to help him condition his body every night.

“Old master, is this the red rabbit among horses?”

Hu Rong over there looked at the objects on the table, already shouted out, Zhuang Rui hurriedly looked over, one of the objects is indeed a 17 or 18 centimeters long jujube red horse, head held high, hoofs, high hissing in the sky, extremely steely demeanor.

This red rabbit horse ornaments, is with a block of red jadeite carving and become, knife method is very delicate, all the body blood color such as gold fine roll, the shape of the perfect as the moon, as if it is following the owner to kill in the thousands of troops.

Zhuang Rui looked at this lifelike red jadeite red rabbit, some surprised to look at the ancient Tianfeng, asked: “Old …… master? This is the piece of red Fei that you want to go?”

In Zhuang Rui to participate in the “Apo Maru” salvage action before, the ancient master went to his basement, will be a piece of quality water is good, but the color distribution is a little uneven red Fei to go, that piece of material to do bracelet is a little bit wrong, so Zhuang Rui has been left in the basement of the.

Just Zhuang Rui never expected, the old man actually carved it into a red rabbit horse.

And the old master’s technique is very unique, will be some of the distribution of color light heavy arrangement of extremely clever, like the horse’s two eyes, is the color of the deep almost purple, and the red rabbit’s forehead part, there is a white scar, is with the red rabbit horse characteristics consistent.

First of all, regardless of this piece of red Fei has reached the ice seed, alone this ingenious conception and exquisite carving of the ancient master, is enough to make this red Fei red rabbit horse into the ranks of the top three of contemporary crafts.

If the icy red Fei material was also taken into account, I’m afraid that the value of this red rabbit emerald horse would be no less than Zhuang Rui’s fruit plate ornament carved out of that Hetian jade chalcedony.

“Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful, Ancient, the late generation is really inferior!”

Hu Rong, after scrutinizing this red rabbit horse up and down before and after, he let out a long sigh, he originally thought that his jadeite design craft had already reached a higher level, but when he compared it with Old Master Gu, he realized that this ginger was really old and spicy.

To know, the old master of the ancient battle to become famous but his carving process, design objects is not his specialty, but even so, so a wonderful red rabbit horse, still not Hu Rong can design out.

The old man saw two people’s demeanor, couldn’t help but laugh and scolded: “you two boys, this jade horse is just a collocation object, the main body do not look at it?”

For Hu Rong and Zhuang Rui’s reaction, the old man is still very happy, in his old age can carve out such works, he is also extremely satisfied, no matter from the design or craftsmanship, these two pieces of work can become the masterpiece of his artistic life.

Zhuang Rui was awakened by the old man’s words, slapped his head and said, “Right, right, why did I forget about this?”

A jadeite horse that was no more than the size of a palm, but the eyes of Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong were so tightly attracted that they actually forgot about the yellow jadeite for a while.

Zhuang Rui’s gaze from the red rabbit horse removed, casually said: “Horse in the red rabbit, people in the Lv Bu, teacher uncle, your old man how to carve a yellow jadeite Lv Bu ah?”

The story of the Three Kingdoms has been widely circulated, Zhuang Rui has read it since he was a child, and although he admired Lu Bu, who was the first in the value of force, he was after all a guy with courage but no strategy, and was not treated well by the descendants.

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Old Master Gu smiled and scolded, “Brat, since you read wild history, how do you not know that the Red Rabbit Horse was later obtained by Guan Yu?”

“Of course I know, hey, it’s really Master Guan Er?”

The description of the Red Rabbit Horse in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very detailed, the earliest was by was a precious horse and colt brought by Dong Zhuo from Xiliang, in order to draw in the young general Lv Bu, Dong Zhuo gave this horse to him, Lv Bu got the horse and really killed the original owner Ding Yuan, defected to Dong Zhuo’s door, and became his righteous son.

Later, the horse followed Lv Bu in his great endeavors, but at the White Gate Tower, because of Liu Bei’s words, Cao Cao killed Lv Bu, and the Red Hare BMW went to Cao Cao.

Perhaps by chance, Guan Yu temporarily defected to Cao Cao to protect Liu Bei’s two wives, and Cao Cao wanted to follow Dong Zhuo’s example of “giving a horse to a hero,” but Guan Yu was not Lu Bu, and he accepted the Red Hare in order to get to Liu Bei more quickly.

From then on, the Red Hare horse and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade became the representative image of Guan Yu. When Guan Yu was defeated and killed by the Eastern Wu, the Red Hare horse was acquired by Ma Zhong, but this time, it no longer obediently followed the new master, and died of hunger, following the old master Guan Yu.

Of course, all these are recorded in the wild history of the Three Kingdoms. According to the history books, the Red Rabbit Horse did not know where it went after the defeat of Lu Bu, and did not become Guan Yu’s mount.

However, the jade craft was originally a folk craft in the early years, and Elder Gu was not a history expert, so he carved this Red Hare Guan Yu as described in the playbook.

“Yellow jade Guan Yu?”

Hu Rong’s attention at the moment also shifted to this character emerald, but the frown is frowned, as we all know, Guan Er Master is a big red face, which is carved with yellow Fei, may not show that kind of “face like heavy jujubes, such as grease” effect to.

This character Guan Gong like about twelve centimeters high, the lower jaw at the beard length of two feet, the carving is delicate and delicate, a pair of phoenix eyes narrow slightly squinting, thick serpentine eyebrows as if the roots of the old tree strong and powerful, from the carving, Guan Yu’s appearance is completely displayed.

And this is a right horse Guan second master, the hem of the long dress fluttering, will legs to cover up, right hand carrying that green dragon crescent moon knife on.

Green dragon crescent moon knife is the old master with other materials carved, this is a mixed color jade, the pole into gold and iron color, the blade has a blood scar, carved with a winding coiled dragon body, the whole statue is majestic, domineering.

Just this Guan Gong although carved like, but the color of the face, but let Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong do not dare to praise, said the red-faced Guan Gong yellow-faced Qin Qiong, this a big yellow face, how to look at how to show the style of the second master Guan ah?

Regardless of how exquisite craftsmanship, this character styling if the problem, it is always a flaw, or defeat, yellow face of Guan Er master, that is like the Monkey King make nail rake, give a person a very uncomfortable feeling.

Old man Gu lived so many years, where can not see Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong’s mind, at the same time asked with a smile, “What’s the matter, feel this Guan Gong face is not right?”

“Oh, in fact, Guan Gong may not be red-faced, which someone a face as long as red dates ah? Acting, I guess it’s also acting, old master, this character is carved quite well.”

Hu Rong snorted, as a junior, he was too embarrassed to directly comment on the works of the old master Gu, just that the words were a bit of words, on the side of Zhuang Rui heard out.

The old man smiled and laughed, pointing at Hu Rong and said: “Good you little Hu, dare to fool the old man, right? Guan Yu has been called a martial saint since ancient times, and Confucius, this red face is also his symbol, I’m not going to do that thing of pointing at a deer as a horse.”

“Elder, then …… why is this ah?”

Zhuang Rui to Gu Tianfeng’s this behavior is also very incomprehensible, this Guan Er Master’s image has long been is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, if hastily will this character emerald out of the words, will certainly be accused of jokes.

Gu Tianfeng did not answer Zhuang Rui’s words, but looked to Hu Rong, said: “Xiao Zhuang you do not know how to carve, Xiaohu I ask you, this design object, pay attention to those aspects ah?”

“Of course, we have to first finalize the shape according to the texture of the material.” Hu Rong replied casually.

“That’s right, but you should have learned the principles of optics and aesthetics, right? The brightness, fire color, scintillation, and other aspects of this gemstone can sometimes cause different effects to come about.”

Instead of playing dumb riddles with the duo again, Elder Gu picked up the jadeite statue of Guan Er Master and placed it on the red jadeite red rabbit horse.

What Gu Tianfeng had carved was originally a serialized pendulum, the fit was naturally needless to say, and at first glance, it looked as if it was carved from a jadeite of a different texture.

After putting the two together, the old master squinted his eyes and looked up at the sun in the sky, then dropped the Guan Gong statue of the Red Hare Horse, so that Guan Yu’s face was revealed in the sunlight, and said with a smile to the duo next to him, “You guys look again.”

In fact, without the old man said, Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong have seen, originally Guan Er Master yellow as chicken oil that face, in the sun suddenly became red, as described in the book “face like heavy jujube” exactly the same.

The most let two people surprised, this Guan Er master statue in addition to the face color, the body also appeared a variety of colors, as if it is to this yellow Fei on a layer of colorful plastic general.

“This …… this, I understand.”

Hu Rong suddenly slapped his thigh and figured out this joint, Zhuang Rui also understood after a little thought, although this jade is pure color, but under different light, it often refracts another color.

Just like Zhuang Rui in the sea to get that black pearl, although the body dark is metal luster, but get the light after, can produce blue, deep purple and other colors out.
