Walk out of the studio, take a taxi to the high-speed rail station, take the high-speed rail, and arrive in Suzhou.

They stayed here for two days, visiting Suzhou Gardens, Tiger Hill, Jianchi, Hanshan Temple, Canglang Pavilion, and Lingyan Mountain. It is rare to have such a leisurely time, and the two of them were together and had a great time. Although the weather was a little cold,

But their hearts are very warm.

This is not just an ordinary tourism, but also a cultural baptism.

There are many inscriptions in Suzhou, such as Hanshan Temple. There are many ancient monuments in the temple, including stone inscriptions by Zhang Jishi, Wen Zhengming, and fragments of inscriptions written by Tang Yin.

The "Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra" written by Zhang Zhizhi, a calligrapher in the Southern Song Dynasty, totaled 27 stones, and there were also eleven stones inscriptions by Dong Qichang, Bi Maokang, Lin Zexu, Yu Yue and others.

After reading these inscriptions, Jiang Qiuyun's understanding of calligraphy has reached a higher level. With the help of inscriptions hundreds of years ago, the heavenly orifices above her head have become bigger.

At the same time, she and Lu Cheng breathed and breathed in the inscription, and with the help of the "Five Qi Return to the Yuan Jue", they accumulated the energy of the five internal organs bit by bit.

When Lu Cheng breathed and breathed, he clearly felt that the revival of spiritual energy had expanded to Suzhou. The concentration of spiritual energy here was similar to that of Quancheng, and it was a little worse than Daicheng. He couldn't help but praise: "Suzhou is a good place! There is paradise above and Suhang below. This sentence makes quite reasonable."

Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said, "When we wait for the future, we will buy a house here? Is it okay to come here to live for two months every year?"

"Okay, buy it in three years."

“The current housing prices are already very expensive. Three years later,

Will it be more expensive?”

“It’s not much expensive,

Because the population is gradually decreasing, housing prices have reached their peak."

Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said, "I saved some money,

If you want to build your own house, it doesn’t need to take up too much land, but it needs to have an elegant environment and design it according to ancient gardens.”

Lu Cheng said: "I'm afraid it's not easy. Logically speaking, there are no plots of development within the ancient city."

Jiang Qiuyun said: "Don't worry, look for it slowly, and you will always have the opportunity to find a suitable plot."

While the two visited Suzhou gardens and admired the inscriptions, flirted with each other, had fun, Lu Cheng had not forgotten to visit Guanqian Street Jade Market and Xiangwang Nong Jade Wholesale Market.

Like Yangzhou, Suzhou has been a place where jade carving masters have been produced since ancient times.

Guanqian Street Jade Market is located in the commercial pedestrian street, connected to Pishi Street in the east and Renmin Road in the west. It has a long commercial history, rich Wuyue culture and an irreplaceable commercial status. Here are Xinfu Jade City, Huaxia Jade City, Guanqian Culture Market, Guanqian Culture Jade Mall, etc.

Xiangwang Lane Jade Street, from the east to the south,

It starts from Xiangwang Road in the west, from Shiquan Street in the north, and from Zhuhui Road in the south. It is not very large in area, but it is well-known and is the starting point of Suzhou jade carving. Xiangwang Lane is mainly composed of three main streets, which are said to be streets, but in fact they are small alleys, all of which are relatively narrow. In some places, they can only pass by one person. The small jade carving studio and jade shops are arranged on both sides along the alley.

The jade here is mainly Hetian jade, and there are also materials, such as mountain materials, seed materials, and Gobi materials. They are basically said to be seed materials, but there are many fakes, such as polished seeds, roller materials, dyed, and fake skins.

Lu Cheng bought 20 jadeite raw stones, plus 100 kilograms of Hetian jade, as well as 500 kilograms of Qinghai jade and Russian jade.

After two days of playing, they did not go anywhere else, but took the high-speed train and went straight back to Daicheng.

When he returned home, Lu Cheng cut the 36 jadeite raw stones purchased on this trip one by one, peeled off the skin, revealing the jade meat.

Then he tried to make some jade coins with Qinghai jade and Russian jade.

He thought it was too boring, too boring, and too wasteful for time to make jade coins by himself, so he took Qinghai jade, some high ice and glass jadeite to "Jade Source" and found jade carving master Zhang Xinyu.

Zhang Xinyu welcomed him with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I'm just looking for you! The high-end jade you brought last time has basically been processed, and there is still a fine piece left, which I personally carved and has not been completed yet."

He opened a large safe and took out two large jewelry boxes, each of which was more than two feet high, with more than a dozen layers inside, each with five or six jade pieces, 30% of which were bracelets, which took up a lot of space; 40% were pendants, including bracelets, necklaces, jade plaques, etc.; and some objects carved according to the shape.

Zhang Xinyu said: "A total of 187 jade pieces, the most precious of which are 9 emerald glass-type full-color bracelets. Look, are these jade bracelets considered peerless quality?" He opened the jewelry box and displayed it to Lu Cheng to see.

Lu Cheng looked a little dizzy, the jewelry was brilliant, flawless, and it made people feel trembling.

"It's really a good thing!"

Last time, he provided 15 kilograms of emerald jade, which was cut into sheets in advance. The two sides were transparent and there was a small crack. There were 3 bracelet positions on the cross section, with a thickness of 6 cm. It was cut into three pieces by Zhang Xinyu and made into 9 bracelets. The bracelet core and scraps were made into rings, peace buckles, small jade plaques, etc.

Lu Cheng praised the finished jade and smiled and said, "Master Zhang, I brought some more materials, and I have to help you with the production."

This time he provided 70 kilograms of high ice jade and a glass emerald plate, which was 6 cm thick like last time, but it was a circle bigger than last time and weighed about 18 kilograms.

Zhang Xinyu was surprised to see it: "This is cut from the same stone? How many more do you have in this kind of jade?"

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "I bought a big stone in Kunming. I divided it into two, sold it for half, and left half. After returning home, I cut it a few more pieces. I got some glass-type materials, and some of them could not reach the glass-type, but ice-type and high-ice-type. Of course, there is also waste. Whether it is glass-type or ice-type, the color is similar to this one."

"Mr. Lu, you are so lucky! This is to go to God!"

"Where do you have to rely on your skills, Master Zhang."

"This jade board is better than last time! There was a small crack last time, and there were no cracks this time, so more bracelets can be produced. However, I don't recommend making too many bracelets, but it is more attractive to make necklaces and polish the ring face. Too many bracelets of the same style will cause auction difficulties."

Lu Cheng nodded: "Yes, I'm already very satisfied with these nine bracelets."

After a while, he brought a large bag of Qinghai jade and Russian jade from the car and asked Zhang Xinyu to help make jade coins.

Zhang Xinyu felt strange: "What are you doing with this thing?"

Lu Cheng said: "I'm useful. Please ask Master Zhang to find an apprentice to help me get the jade coins. Just cut it directly. It doesn't need to be too exquisite, and it doesn't need to be polished. It's as big as a 1 yuan coin. It doesn't matter if it's a little bigger or smaller."

Zhang Xinyu said: "This is simple."

Lu Cheng left with two jewelry boxes.
