The man didn't see Siqing, so he only handed the letter of appointment to Meng Hongxian, and said: "The Meng family is originally doing porcelain painting, and the Huiguan Pavilion in Sigu Xuan was originally a porcelain art studio, if the young lady goes, it will be arranged in the porcelain art club, how about it?"

Meng Hongxian snorted coldly: "The porcelain art society is now in ruins, let the little girl go over, is it scavenging?"

"If the young lady agrees to go over, she will naturally clean it up. ”

"However, the little girl has not been hand-painted now, so how can she open a porcelain art club?"

According to Lin Shaowei's thoughts, the person who came to "this ......" was originally just perfunctory to find a place for Siqing, and he would not arrange a position anyway, just let her stay there, as for what she would do, it didn't matter at all.

But I don't want Meng Hongxian to be so serious, isn't this a joke, a yellow-haired girl, to put the porcelain art club that has been abandoned for a long time in order?

How can it be!

What's more, she doesn't know how to porcelain.

This person slandered in his belly, and Yan Yan said with a smile on his face: "Master Meng, this is a decision that Si Gu Xuan discussed together, and it has also been approved by Mr. Wang. ”

is originally a person who can be needed or not, and of course he will not bother to argue.

Meng Hongxian didn't want Siqing to go in his heart, but the other party looked down on people so much, it made him a little angry, and he felt that his daughter had to go, and He Chushu also strongly supported it, so he didn't hinder it much.

But the question is, Siqing doesn't know how to make porcelain, is it possible to really go to scavenging?

He was reluctant to let Siqing start learning porcelain painting so early, but now, first, he had promised in advance that as long as Siqing's painting won the championship, she would be allowed to learn, and second, since he was going to go to the porcelain art club, it was inevitable that he would make jokes if he didn't know how to be an insider, so the situation forced him to start planning to teach Siqing.

But before he finishes his studies, he can't let Siqing be embarrassed in the past.

A few days later, Si Gu Xuan wondered, hadn't the letter of appointment been received, why hadn't the person reported for duty?

The Meng family replied, coming in a while.

Sigu Xuan issued a deadline, and if it did not arrive within three months, he would be disqualified from employment.

"Three months?" Siqing was shocked when she heard it, how could she be proficient in porcelain painting in three months?

"Then it's up to you. Meng Hongxian resumed his stern posture, "If you can't learn, just give up." ”

If you really want to give up, at least you have to hit the south wall, and you haven't set foot in that thing, how do you know if you can't do it?

Ran Siqing also has her own thoughts: "I can't learn alone, please join my second brother." ”

"You actually talked about the conditions?" Meng Hongxian was very surprised, it was not strange to talk about the conditions, the strange thing was that this time it was not Mr. He who came out, but she said it herself.

When did she become so bold?

This boldness did not make him happy, it only made him worry, the reason why she was asked to learn the porcelain painting of the Meng family was not for her own prospects, but for inheritance, if she had an independent idea, then the future would be uncontrollable.

Meng Hongxian quickly weighed it and thought that this skill must not be mastered alone, and it would be good to have Huai'an learn it together.

He agreed, and his happy attitude surprised Siqing very much.

Although the Meng family is a family of porcelain painting, because they have a kiln, porcelain painting and porcelain art are not very separated, painting is one thing, and shaping is also a craft.

The next day, he and the two of them went to the kiln factory to watch.

Mengjia kiln factory in the suburbs of Xuncheng, a half-sized yard, the kiln is not as large as the scale of the official kiln, but in Xuncheng to do porcelain kiln is not much, the Meng family did not burn the kiln before, the kiln factory was built in these years, although it is not big, but it is already a good condition.

I saw an open space in the center, with all kinds of clay on it, divided into categories, and two or three people were beating repeatedly with wooden mallets.

"This is mud training. Meng Hongxian introduced, "This soil has to expel the air inside before it can be used." ”

"Is this mud dug out of our ground?" asked Huai'an, and thought to himself, with this digging method, this place must not be hollowed out?

"Of course not, not all clay can be used, this is a raw material specifically suitable for porcelain, which is made of clay that has been weathered and deposited in a specific place, and has few impurities. Meng Hongxian said: "Remember, it must be weathered mud in situ, if it has been weathered by the wind and sand, it has been transported many times in nature, and it can only be made of pottery, not porcelain." ”

"Isn't it all clay, it looks about the same, how do you know which is made of porcelain?"

Meng Hongxian glanced at him: "One material is delicate and the other is rough, one is light in color, mostly white and gray, and the other is dark in color, mostly red and black, is it so difficult to distinguish?"

After that, lead the two people to the right, walked through the mud practice area, faced a wooden frame, placed the clay model, a row of billet cars under the wooden frame, there are a few people in front of the embryo car, stepping on the pedal, both hands on the disc mud.

Although they have never seen this, they can understand at a glance that it is used to draw the practiced mud into a embryo.

Siqing saw that the little brother closest to him was putting the mud on the disc, first dipped it in water from the basin next to him and smeared it, and then held the mud with both hands, covering the bottom of the turntable, one hand looked around the clay and pressed it in his direction, and the other hand was holding it outward with the tiger's mouth, which was just the opposite of the strength of that hand, and the two hands "should be closed inside", as soon as he stepped on the caster, after a while, the mud in his hand began to rise, and soon became a shape.

She was amazed, it was not easy to practice this skill so skillfully.

And to the other end, and saw that the green body in the hands of a worker was completed, and took it off the turntable with a cutting thread, but not put it aside, but after it cooled a little, it was placed on the turntable again, but this time it was placed upside down, and it was fixed with soft mud after being placed, so he took the trimming knife and carefully trimmed it.

"Pulling the embryo is the basic skill, all families are the same, after trimming and then pouring water, after plucking the water, the embryo body is completed, you don't need to do these things yourself, just understand. Meng Hongxian gave a brief introduction to the two processes just now, and then went to the right, but did not take them to see the kiln, but went into the house first.

There are all kinds of pigments here, and there is a case by the window, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are complete.

"This is where the glaze is applied. ”

"Isn't it burned first before glazing?" Siqing said curiously.

"You are talking about color glaze, this embryo body must be burned before a layer of protective glaze, block the flaws and then burn, after firing, and then color the glaze, the process and details of glazing are too complicated, but this is also the essence of porcelain art, and porcelain painting, is also to fully integrate the characteristics of various color glaze, you learn slowly, first follow me to see the kiln. ”

Then he took them out of the house and went to the kiln.

Siqing was still thinking about the previous topic, and asked, "Is the order of glazing and firing necessarily unchanging?"

"This ......" Meng Hongxian seemed to hesitate and didn't answer for a while.

It's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he has other thoughts in his heart and doesn't want to answer.

On the contrary, Huai'an answered: "Of course it is variable. ”

"You know?" Meng Hongxian was displeased.

"I guess, porcelain is inherently art, as long as it is art, there must be a place where you can play freely. ”

"You don't plan to do that. Meng Hongxian said what he thought, "Mengjia porcelain painting has always been such a process, it can't be changed, you just learn it honestly." ”

The two looked at each other and spread their hands secretly.

As he spoke, he saw the kiln.

The kiln is at the back of the courtyard, and this wood kiln is half-inverted horseshoe-shaped, made of extremely fire-resistant bricks, with different fire eyes for observing the fire level and direction.

There are some saggers next to the kiln, which are used to protect the more fragile porcelain firing, and not all of them are used.

Now the fire in the kiln is booming, and several people are busy around, with an old man and a young man guarding the pile head next to him, adding firewood from time to time.

"Do they know the temperature inside without measuring?"

Siqing had some understanding before, knowing that the temperature at which the embryo body of porcelain and the glaze slurry need to be fired is different, that is, the melting temperature of different colors of glaze is also different, so the temperature of the kiln is very important when firing, and it must be accurately determined.

"That's natural, Lao Li and his son are skilled, and they can judge it just by looking at the color of the flames with the naked eye. Meng Hongxian said proudly: "The firing process is all up to them." ”

When Lao Li heard the praise, he was happy, wiped a handful of sweat, and sang in a bright voice: "A cup of soil, the river fire on both sides of the river, the water and soil are suitable for practice, the fire becomes porcelain, the smoke of the kiln is a hundred years, and the thousands of peaks are verdant and green......"

His voice is clear, and his direct singing is very touching.

After reading the kiln, he still returned to the glazing room, Meng Hongxian said to them: "Mining soil and refining mud, pulling embryo shaping, glazing protection, high-temperature firing, and finally adding decoration according to the need, and then firing for the second time, a porcelain is completed, today you have seen all the processes, or there are other complicated procedures, such as some porcelain needs to be carved and picked, but this can only be improvised, and Mengjia porcelain painting, originally to do, only in that decoration." ”

It is a real porcelain painting, which is first outlined with a material brush, then glazed with color, and then fired.

"Is it done after firing?" asked Huai'an.

"You know the subtlety of the color glaze, after firing, the color of some color glaze will change, you need to add color, and after adding color, you need to fire repeatedly. Meng Hongxian replied: "The process of firing a porcelain fetus is so complicated, and good porcelain is more demanding, because I have always told you to learn painting well, which is also the reason, once it is painted, there is no room for change." ”

Both nodded at the same time.

"Now our patterns are extended, although it can be sold, but there is no collection value, I know all kinds of color glaze well, but can not paint, if you two have a heart, it will be inherited from this porcelain painting, if I can have a hand-me-down of the Meng family, I can also have a clear conscience after a hundred years. ”

When the two saw this process, they were only amazed by the wisdom handed down by the ancients, the clay has been tempered thousands of times, but it can be turned into an amazing work of art.

Listening to Meng Hongxian's words, I feel that the ingenuity of generations of artists is admirable.

At this time, there was a sense of pride in his heart, but he heard Meng Hongxian say again: "You all see clearly, you must follow these processes, if you dare to change it without permission, be careful to serve with sticks!"

One sentence pulls them back to reality, ingenuity is desirable, and closed car building is also a problem.

"Okay, you can take a look at it today, and you're not in a hurry anyway. Meng Hongxian looked at Siqing, "What kind of art fair, don't enter, you have to study hard, don't be in a hurry." ”

The implication is that it is impossible to learn in three months.

Siqing was not originally for that election, but since he got this opportunity, he still very much wanted to be able to enter, and now seeing that Meng Hongxian had already deflated first, he couldn't help but feel some pressure in his heart, so he had to secretly encourage himself to meet the requirements within three months.

At this time, suddenly the subordinates of the Meng Mansion came panting and reported: "Master, the housekeeper of the Admiral's family is here and wants to order a set of porcelain vases." ”

"How's the request, show me. ”

"There is nothing special about the request, but ......" the person who came paused for a moment, looked at Siqing and said: "Lord Cheng's mansion heard that Miss Four won the first prize in the selection of Chinese painting at this art fair, and named this set of porcelain vases to be painted by Miss Four herself. ”

When Meng Hongxian heard this, his brows tightened, and he asked Siqing sideways: "Can you do it?"
