Chapter 61: Azure and Moonlight
Huai An glanced sideways at Siqing, and when he saw Siqing, he was happy and said, "This is the color I want, it's exactly the same." ”
So he became proud, and then Xiao Li's words said: "Of course, who am I, and what can I do?"
"This ......" said so, but Xiao Li remembered his various deeds very inappropriately.
The most recent one is probably the one who was played around by his second ex-brother-in-law Cao Zhong.
Going back, Xiao Li didn't know that Siqing was clear, and there was still a matter of eloping with Jiang Yarong twice back then.
As for other trivial matters, such as being taught a lesson by Meng Hongxian every once in a while, such as spending money to buy a house in the imperial court for nothing, such as walking on the street, you can provoke unwarranted enemies to kill you...... These examples of "not enough success and more than failure" can be said for a while.
In his daily life, he is still far from the fortune of "trying and succeeding" porcelain.
Siqing thought, some people are probably born for a certain achievement, this person was born only to accomplish this one thing, no matter what his life is, whether he is poor or questioned, for that thing, they are harsh and pious.
However, the people of the world will not only look at his achievements, but also look at his life, so as to spy and speculate on his person, his attitude towards things, to see if he can be called that achievement, if there is a loss in life, his achievements will also be vetoed in public opinion, unless this person is a hundred years later, people have probably forgotten what kind of person he is, and will return to pay attention to what he left behind.
"By the way, Fourth Miss, aren't there two porcelain vases, why did you only bring one over?"
"That one, I want to change to another color. She replied.
"What color, is it more beautiful than this month's white?"
She pursed her lips and smiled, looking around, "It's good in my eyes." ”
"Then I'm looking forward to it, just look for me if you have something. Xiao Li patted his chest.
"Good. ”
But another color, but not so easy to make.
Xu Xiaoyuan said with a sad face: "No matter how the ratio and temperature of the colorant are adjusted, they will be similar to the white bottle of that month." ”
Shen Wei came up, looked at the picture drawn by Siqing on the paper, and asked, "But, I see that this one of yours is not much different from the white bottle of that month, the color is somewhat similar, but it is bluer than that." ”
"Laymen look at the surface, insiders look at the doorway, if only the shade is adjusted, this color requirement can be achieved, but insiders can see the similarity between the two at a glance. Xu Xiaoyuan responded, "This is not representative, and it is not to change their original intentions." ”
"You're right. Siqing agreed with Xu Xiaoyuan's words, "This kind of color should be done in another way." ”
"Here's the problem, this kind of shade, that's the only formula at the moment. Xu Xiaoyuan sighed.
"Not necessarily, let me think about it. ”
When Siqing was pondering, she always remembered that day when Huai'an was wearing a long coat and sitting at the door with Erlang's legs crossed and shaking a folding fan, thinking about it, she laughed unconsciously.
Why was that person able to wear a kaftan with an uninhibited feeling?
Then he sighed: "Why can't it?"
Why do you have to follow the rules and follow the rules?
She suddenly seemed to realize: yes, not everything must be in accordance with the established rules.
She quickly got up and went to find Xu Xiaoyuan, and said straight to the point: "Let's change the colorant and try it." ”
Xu Xiaoyuan's eyes widened, and he looked at her incredulously: "Change the colorant?" This is a specific thing, this color system has been made throughout the ages, all of them are iron to make the colorant, how can you say that you can change it, have you thought about what kind of effect it will have?"
"If you don't make it and take a look, how do you know what the effect is?" Siqing blurted out, "Just give it a try." ”
After speaking, I was secretly stunned, when did I even learn the mantra of that person.
"But do you have a new colorant?"
She nodded: "A batch of porcelain stones mined by the Meng family before was mixed with a mineral, and the things burned out after making glaze were blue and were abandoned, I think, since it can produce blue, there must be some kind of substance that plays a role." ”
Xu Xiaoyuan pondered for a while, turned the book as fast as he could, and pointed to one of the pages: "I know, what you said is the cocobalt in foreign populations, and this extracted substance can produce blue ......" He closed the book, "I remember, we actually have this substance in the blue and white materials we use, but it contains relatively little." ”
The cobalt extracted from the pyrocamine can be used by foreigners to make blue glass, and they can also use it to make blue porcelain.
Xu Xiaoyuan said excitedly: "This can indeed be tried." ”
The procedure is the same as that of the white porcelain vase, mixing glaze slurry, glazing, and firing, but there is an additional process of extracting a new colorant, which is not complicated for Xu Xiaoyuan, and he also enjoys it.
Soon, the makeover porcelain vase reappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Light blue, thick texture, faint and eternal, as if the rain over the azure, clear as a mirror.
Shen Wei asked beside Siqing, "That porcelain vase is moon white, what about this?"
Siqing smiled: "The predecessors have an answer, this is azure." ”
The double bottle once again stood around the porcelain art society, this time, the people in the past without exception stopped to watch, the discussion was not stopped, there were authoritative figures in the industry to appreciate it, and applauded again and again, so the surrounding viewers applauded one after another, and passed it out one by one.
Its prevalence was for a time incomparable, and it reached the ears of Galeries Lafayette very quickly, and Lafayette was so frightened by this atmosphere that he forgot to cure them of the sin of tampering with the things they had been given, and instead found someone to draw up a couplet, and sent it again in a beautiful manner.
The couplet is hung left and right, and it is written: The rain passes through the sky and the clouds move, and the Qionglou bright moon and jade return.
Lined with the color of azure and moon white, it is the symbol of the "two heroes of the Meng family", which makes the pair of porcelain vases very hot.
The porcelain vase naturally cannot be sold, but its manufacturing process can be sold, and its ownership is in the Meng family, so Meng Hongxian did nothing, but made a lot of windfall.
He is not a greedy person, the money has not been touched, it has been returned to Siqing, Siqing left a part, and the rest was given to him, the premise is that the right to change the kiln factory can be used at any time.
Meng Hongxian heard this, but pushed the money: "No." ”
Facing Siqing's shock, he said with a cold face: "You can toss as you want outside, but I don't allow you to move the things of my Meng family, and I hope that what will be passed on to the next generation of the Meng family in the future is the experience left by the ancestors, not the sideways of you." ”
The four words "left door and left road" made Siqing feel that there was no need to continue the conversation, she took the money and left, thinking that it was a big deal to burn it at night in the future, and it was not completely impossible.
However, although it was not negotiated, the money was not returned to the hand in the end.
When the He family heard the news, she secretly said that the money sent to the door did not have a reason, and she pulled Pan Lanfang to find Siqing, wanting to get the money back.
Pan Lanfang disagreed, she was worried that Meng Hongxian would be angry.
He advised: "This is the daughter of the Meng family, and she is not an outsider, she should make money for the family." ”
"That'...... Your family has become famous now, and you have made a lot of money, have you given money?" Pan Lanfang asked rhetorically.
"This ...... Si Yi was kicked out by you, and she said that it was irrelevant, and she was different from the four girls, the skills of the four girls were cultivated by the Meng family, she learned effectively, and she should be rewarded, and Si Yi went out to learn by herself. ”
Pan Lanfang heard her say this, and asked again: "Siyi can ignore the Meng family, but does it care about you?"
He was stunned: "I'm ...... I don't need her to take care of it, she just needs to take care of herself, as long as she is doing well, I will fend for myself in the future and not cause her trouble. ”
This made Pan Lanfang very puzzled, in her cognition, raising children to prevent old age is the key, of course, having children is to plan for themselves when they are old, how can anyone think that they can't make trouble for their children?
Although she was puzzled, she still disapproved of He's idea of asking Siqing for money, she was not afraid of making trouble for Siqing, nor was she upset for her, she felt from the bottom of her heart that women should stay at home, why should they go out to make money, why can they make money, and can the money they earn be used?
She looked up to Cao Zhong, the profiteer who looted the people's ointment, but she disliked the money Siqing earned, just because Cao Zhong was a man and Siqing was a woman.
He's persuasion was useless, so she had to go to Siqing by herself, Siqing was clear-minded, and she understood that she had no shortage of food and clothing in the Meng family, and she didn't have the consciousness of saving money, and she didn't see how important money was at this time.
It's just that it's easy to give now, and if you want to ask for it back in the future, it's not so easy.
After giving it to He's, there was still a part left, and a few employees shared it, and then went to buy a yard.
The rest of her money can only buy a small courtyard, it is impossible to buy a big mansion like Huai'an, this small courtyard is not bought for herself, it is located in the alley behind Xiaofeng Building, it is given to her cousin Xiang Fu.
Xiang Fu used to live in the staff dormitory of Xiaofeng Building, and more than a dozen people slept in a large room, and sometimes his younger brother Xiang Shen came over, often because he had no place to sleep, and went back to school in the middle of the night.
Xiang Fuyuan is to be polite, but having an independent and spacious place to live is indeed a necessity for him, he moved over, thinking that he just lives in this house, and in the future, Siqing needs it, and it can be returned to her, so he accepted it.
The house is new, but there is nothing in it, infrastructure such as walls and floors, as well as furniture and supplies, it takes a long time to tidy up and repair, and he can't move in for the time being.
Now that the society has popularity, several people are also busy, outsiders do not know the details, most of them regard this as a store of the Meng family, people come and go, there are peers who want to buy the color of the blue moon and white that day, there are businessmen who ask them to order porcelain, and literati come to take inspiration.
The others are no problem, but if you order the finished porcelain directly, you have to be burned by the Mengjia Kiln Factory, Siqing encountered difficulties here, and originally wanted to refuse this business, but Huai'an told her: "No, you transfer this piece to Dad, let them order it directly from Dad, and Dad will agree." ”
She didn't quite understand: "Dad said that this is a side-by-side thing, and it is very repulsive." ”
"What he rejects is not what is made, it is you and me who make their own decisions, to put it bluntly, he is afraid that our wings will be stiff, you give this to him to control, and he will have no opinion. ”
Siqing went to do the same, and sure enough, Meng Hongxian didn't say a word about the order sent to the door, and happily accepted it, because of the deployment of the new glaze, and called her over to train a few workers.
In this way, her porcelain art society and Mengjia kiln factory gradually complement each other, although Meng Hongxian does not admit that the two are related, but in fact, one takes the lead in research and development technology, and the other receives orders and ships in the rear, and the cooperation is tacit.
