Yang Shuo is crazy and crazy because he carves jade, and has won a "good reputation" for being crazy in the south. This shows that his jade carving skills are absolutely the best guru in the industry.

How many people are attracted by his name and don\'t hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask Mr. Yang to carve jade for him, but they are all rejected by Mr. Yang. Among them, there are many senior officials and rich people, but old Yang is hard to use, and no one will give face.

But today, he took the initiative to help Chu fan carve jade without taking any money. It was like a big meat bun falling from the sky and hitting Chu fan on the head.

However, in Wu Jingui\'s and Yu Qiang Mei\'s surprised eyes, Chu fan shook his head: "I accept Yang\'s kindness. It\'s not that I don\'t believe Yang\'s craft, but that I want to carve a gift with it and give it to my wife as an engagement token."

At this time, even old Yang was surprised: "can you carve jade?"

Chu fan shook his head again: "no, but I\'ve studied wood carving before. I feel my craft is OK."

"Although wood carving and jade carving have many similarities in essence, they are actually very knowledgeable." when talking about jade carving, old Yang suddenly became elated and patiently explained, "wood is soft and has strong toughness. Jadeite is also called jadeite. Its texture is hard and brittle and has no toughness. Therefore, it is more difficult to carve."

Wu Jingui hurriedly said, "brother, how many people have spent a lot of money asking for a work from Old Yang, but they don\'t have that opportunity. Now old Yang takes the initiative to process jewelry for you. This is a good thing that can\'t be found with a lantern."

Yu Qiang Mei couldn\'t help but twist her arm and said angrily, "just steal the music. My father didn\'t come by himself. Aren\'t you happy? Promise quickly."

Chu fan shook his head again, took Su Yuan\'s hand and said with a smile, "I just want to make a gift for my wife. As for whether this gift is perfect or not, it\'s not so important. Therefore, don\'t be angry, old Yang. I absolutely don\'t mean not to believe your craft."

"As long as you do it yourself, it is the most perfect in my eyes." Su Yuan\'s heart has been completely captured by Chu fan.

What else can I do when people say so? But old Yang frowned, suddenly stood up and said, "wait for me."

With that, Yang Lao didn\'t drink any tea, so he hurried out. Just when they didn\'t know why, old Yang walked back quickly with a piece of wood and a cloth bag in his hand.

"This wood was sent by a businessman three years ago. It\'s an authentic Huanghua pear. It\'s no cheaper than jade."

Old Yang put the wood in front of Chu fan and spread out the cloth bag. Inside, there was a set of exquisite carving knives, ranging from large to small.

"Just use this yellow pear to make an object." old Yang said firmly, "if you can\'t do it, I\'ll never let you spoil this best blood jade."

Wipe, who is this? Blood jade is mine. I don\'t even have the right to carve it myself?

But before Chu fan refused, Wu Jingui advised, "brother, don\'t try your best. Old Yang must be a hundred times better than you. If others can\'t ask for a good thing, you still refuse. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Elder martial brother, you are my brother. Hurry up." Yu Qiang Mei was about to cry.

Chu fan wondered. I\'m not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. He was too lazy to explain to them. He took a casual look, chose a medium-sized sharp knife, and then his eyes fell on that piece of wood.

The wood is about half a foot tall and as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The bark has been stripped off, revealing the dark yellow wood color inside. Even without polishing, the wood has shown gorgeous color and beautiful lines.

This piece of wood was sent by a rich merchant opportunistically in order to ask old yang to help carve a pendant. And this thing is really novel. Mr. Yang thought that when he had time, he would carve it for fun, so he really promised him.

But as a result, he lost interest in it in a few days and threw it aside. If Chu fan hadn\'t said he knew wood carving today, old Yang wouldn\'t remember.

Before they could persuade him again, old Yang suddenly waved his hand and motioned for several people to keep quiet. Several people found that Chu fan stared at the wood without even blinking. He had been looking at it for a long time.

Old Yang was secretly surprised. Chu fan\'s current state really has the style of a carving master. If he didn\'t want to, he would carve it when he picked it up, but he wouldn\'t care.

But now, he was really curious. What kind of ornaments would Chu fan carve out with this wood?

In this way, everyone held their breath and kept staring at Chu fan, while Chu fan kept staring at the wood. After nearly half an hour, he finally picked up the wood and carved it like a flying pen.

At this moment, Yang Lao was even more surprised. His carving technique is almost in line with his carving skills of the southern school. What he pays attention to is to complete it at one go. Looking at Chu fan\'s focused expression, his technique is orderly and not disordered at all. It is obvious that he has entered a state.

No, he is not an orthodox Southern sculptor. Some places are not very smooth, but his carving speed is very fast, which means something of a southern sculptor.

If he has never studied systematically and is completely self-taught, he is a genius for carving jade.

Old Yang\'s eyes lit up. At this time, Chu fan seemed to be a piece of jade in his eyes. As long as he polished it a little, it would bloom brilliant colors.

Experts watch the doorway and laymen watch the excitement.

Old Yang looked at the movements of Chu fan\'s hands, but Wu Jingui and others looked at the objects carved by Chu fan. Soon, several people shouted in secret, because Chu fan had carved a figure\'s head. Although it\'s just an outline, looking at the big wavy hair, it\'s just the same as Su Yuan\'s hair.

In this way, the work is ready to come out.

Suyuan was excited, but she didn\'t dare to disturb Chu fan. She just looked at him obsessed, as if there was nothing in the world that he wouldn\'t. Yu Qiang Mei pouted. Elder martial brother is too eccentric. The wood is so big. Why don\'t you add others? Really, he must make a figure statue for me another day, otherwise, people will never pay attention to you again. Hum!

Under the gaze of the people, Chu fan\'s carving knife flew up and down, and the sawdust fell like snow. His focused expression and exquisite craftsmanship surprised the people. Even master level figures like Yang nodded in secret.

Not to mention the figure\'s face shape, just this general outline, we can see that Chu fan\'s foundation is good. Without ten years of polishing, he absolutely has no foundation.

With the passage of time, a piece of wood in Chu fan\'s hand has become a lifelike female sculpture. Now, all parts of the body are basically completed, except the face.

Until then, Chu fan\'s action was a little slower, but every stroke was wonderful to the top. With only a few knives, Su Yuan\'s face was deeply depicted.

Finally, Chu fan\'s carving knife stopped and blew the sawdust on the sculpture. Chu fan breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his waist and asked proudly, "old Yang, how\'s my craft?"

Yang nodded: "to my surprise, your craft is really good, but there are still many shortcomings."

With that, old Yang picked up a small carving knife, grabbed the sculpture and modified it several times in some subtle places, especially the eyes of the characters. Su Yuan, who was originally carved by Chu fan, had a slightly dull eyes, but after old Yang\'s modification, there was a finishing touch effect, which made the sculpture feel more affectionate looking at you.

Chu fan was shocked by this scene.

Put down the carving knife, old Yang sent the sculpture to Su Yuan and said with a smile, "girl, is this boy your boyfriend? He really likes you, otherwise he won\'t engrave your figure in his mind. Hehe, I wish you lovers get married today."

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Yang!" Su Yuan held the wood carving tightly in her arms for fear of falling to the ground, and her eyes were red with excitement.

This wood carving is Su Yuan\'s statue, but she is obviously wearing a wedding dress, which means that Chu fan wants to keep the most beautiful day of her life forever, and there is no lack of the meaning of proposing marriage.

Su Yuan felt that this wooden carving was a hundred times better than any proposal ring. As long as Chu fan knelt down to propose now, she would promise without saying a word, even if it was her wedding first.

"Elder martial brother, you should also make one for me." Yu Qiang Wei pouted and shook Chu fan\'s arm reluctantly.

Chu fan suddenly woke up and quickly stood up and saluted Yang Laoshen: "thank you for your advice!"

"It\'s nothing." Yang waved his hand, asked Chu fan to sit down and said slowly, "wood carving, you can be called a master, but jade carving and wood carving are still very different. If you want to learn, I can give you some advice."

Chu fan was stunned. Old Yang, this is... This is to take an apprentice?

Wu Jingui wanted to kick Chu fan down and hurriedly said, "smelly boy, why are you stunned? Get down on your knees and worship the teacher."

"Yang Lao, do you accept me as an apprentice?" Yu Qiang Wei said with a shy face and a smile. Unfortunately, Yang Laogen ignored her and wasted his expression in vain.

"I don\'t need to kneel down. Just call me master and give me a cup of tea." old Yang laughed.

Chu fan suddenly retreated two steps, fell down on his knees solemnly and knocked three heads seriously. Su Yuan quickly picked up the tea in front of her and handed it to Chu fan. Chu fan took it with both hands and held it over his head. Lang said, "please have tea, master."

"OK, OK, get up quickly." old Yang was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He didn\'t expect to seal the knife. He even accepted a closing disciple. Fate, this is fate.

Old Yang helped Chu fan up and said solemnly, "from today on, you are my closing disciple of Yang Shuo!"
