Wang Menghan asked curiously, "Dad, what period is this?"

Wang Zhixuan said: "After the Yuan Dynasty and before Yongxuan, can't you still think of which period?"

"Hongwu!" Ma Xingwei and their faces showed surprise, although Meng Zitao knew the result, he also pretended to behave like this.

Hongwu is the name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, for a total of 31 years. Since the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to set up an imperial kiln factory in the porcelain capital to burn porcelain for the court.

However, at present, no artifacts with the real Hongwu official kiln have been found, and the porcelain of the Hongwu Dynasty has not been recognized, and there is a saying that "Hongwu has no porcelain".

It was not until 1964 that the ruins of the Ming Palace in Jinling and the porcelain were unearthed in 1994 specimens of the Hongwuguan kiln, after the comparative study of the archaeological data combined with the cultural relics in the collection, we have a general understanding of the style of the Hongwuguan kiln, and the mystery of the Hongwuguan kiln was initially unveiled.

The Hongwu porcelain distinguished from the domestic and foreign heirlooms can be understood that the porcelain of the official kiln in the Hongwu period was mostly red in the glaze. Because the firing technology of glaze red is difficult to master, it is known as "a thousand kilns are rare and red", the Yuan Dynasty only made a small amount, and the Hongwu Dynasty fired a large number of them, some scholars believe that this is inseparable from Zhu Yuanzhang's aesthetics.

Zhu Yuanzhang's aesthetics are not to be said, but judging from the data, the glaze red porcelain in the Hongwu period is indeed unique, with many exquisite works, and it also has a very high performance in the antique market.

Let's just say that in 2006, at the auction of Christie's in Xiangjiang, a Ming Hongwu glazed red peony pattern jade pot spring vase was auctioned for a high price of more than 80 million, which shows its popularity in the market.

Wang Zhixuan said: "Yes, this is a masterpiece of glaze red in the Hongwu period. ”

Ma Xingwei asked with interest, "Lao Wang, can you explain it to us?"

"I'll say it if you don't ask. ”

Wang Zhixuan picked up a piece of porcelain and explained to everyone: "Let's talk about the fetal glaze first, you see, this fetal texture is whiter, dry, and there are gaps between them; the enamel is thick and greasy like a pile of grease; the glaze has the phenomenon of opening pieces, and the fetal glaze is tightly combined; the glaze color is milky white, and it flashes slightly blue gray." Moreover, there is the phenomenon of glaze shrinkage, and the kiln red can be seen in the exposed place, which are the typical characteristics of Hongwuguan kiln. ”

"Next, let's talk about ornamentation, I'll take a bigger one, it looks a little clearer......"

Wang Zhixuan changed a piece of porcelain, and then said: "The decoration of Hongwu porcelain still retains the concise and smooth, bold and vivid style of the Yuan Dynasty, but it is slightly delicate. The ornamentation is more monotonous, mainly plants and flowers, there are entwined branch chrysanthemum, entwined branch peony, entwined branch lotus, folded branch flowers and so on. ”

"Specifically, let's look at the flat chrysanthemum pattern above, which is the most representative decoration of Hongwu porcelain, elliptical, the stamens are oblique grid patterns, the stamens are drawn with two layers of petals with double lines, the inner layer is not colored, and the top and one side of each petal in the outer layer are left with white edges to show the interval between the petals, so that each layer of the flower and leaf is very clear. ”

This form of flat chrysanthemum is different from the chrysanthemum pattern on the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and provides an important basis for distinguishing the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. Compared with the Yuan Dynasty, the deformed lotus petals on the outer wall are only outlined and not colored, except for individual separate paintings, the lotus petals borrow the edge of each other, and the lotus petals of the Yuan Dynasty are independent. ”

Wang Zhixuan changed another piece of porcelain and continued: "In addition, the banana leaf pattern on the neck is changed from the middle stem of the Yuan Dynasty to the middle stem white, and the decoration is outlined with a soft pen, the lines are smooth, and the boneless painting method is used, that is, there is no need to outline the line to fill in the color, and it is made of a dot painting, and some of the ornaments are filled with a small pen to form a shade of brushstroke......"

Next, Wang Zhixuan elaborated on Hongwu porcelain from pigment to process, and finally asked: "What else do you not understand?"

The opportunity was rare, Meng Zitao hurriedly asked a few questions, and Wang Zhixuan also answered them carefully one by one.

"Do you still have any questions?" Wang Zhixuan asked.

Seeing that everyone said that there was no problem, Wang Zhixuan said: "Xiao Meng, without further ado, let's go to the porcelain capital immediately and hand over the things to Zhang Lao for him to repair, what do you think?"

Ma Xingwei said with a smile: "I said Lao Wang, I know you are anxious, but you don't need to be in a hurry, things can't run." Besides, even if you hand over the things to Zhang Lao and want to complete the restoration, it won't be a day's work, right? Besides, you don't know if Zhang Lao is in the porcelain capital, so you don't worry about running in vain?"

"It's called care, it's chaos. Wang Zhixuan laughed: "Okay, I'll make a call first." ”

Taking advantage of Wang Zhixuan's phone call, the sixth child asked, "Xiao Meng, how much will this thing be worth when it is repaired?"

"I don't know what it can be repaired into, how do I know how much it will be worth?" Meng Zitao said.

Ma Xingwei said with a smile: "Zhang Lao's repair skills can be said to be superb, as long as the fragments are complete and lucky, they can look like complete vessels, if that is the case, it will be worth millions if it sells well." ”

The sixth said enviously: "Tut-tut, Xiao Meng, how did you encounter such a good thing?"

"Come on, I really don't want to encounter this kind of thing. ”

This is the true thought of Meng Zitao's heart, and the reason is simple, he hates intrigue the most. To make such money, it is better to be at ease.

"I also agree with Xiao Meng's idea. Wang Zhixuan put away his phone and walked back.

"What did Elder Zhang say?" asked Ma Xingwei.

Wang Zhixuan replied: "Elder Zhang is attending a seminar now, and he still needs to meet friends, so he won't be able to go back until at least next Thursday." It seems that you are really a crow's mouth. ”

Ma Xingwei was speechless when he heard this: "I just said it casually, who knew that Zhang Laohui would really not be there!"

Wang Zhixuan smiled: "That's fine, just let me deal with the things in hand." ”

Because Wang Zhixuan had something to do, everyone chatted for a while and then left.

At noon, in order to thank the sixth child, Meng Zitao invited him to dinner.

After taking two sips of wine, the sixth child said: "Xiao Meng, I inquired just now, Xue Wenguang went to the field yesterday. ”

Meng Zitao said: "In other words, it is possible that he did not provoke this incident today?"

The sixth nodded and said, "There is a possibility, but it is also possible that he deliberately did this in order to clear his suspicion." ”

Meng Zitao frowned, having said that, Xue Wenguang's suspicion has indeed decreased a lot, so in this way, it is possible that someone else instigated the porcelain, but who is it?

I haven't had any deep grudges with other people recently, why would I use such a move against myself?

Lu Changdai: For him, this kind of method is a bit low-level, right?

Qian Dexiang: He shouldn't be willing to give up this money, right?

After thinking about it, Meng Zitao still felt that Xue Wenguang was the most likely.

"Forget it, why do you think so much, even if you guess correctly, if you don't have a certificate, you can't do anything about this person. ”

Although he couldn't think of who it was, Meng Zitao also raised his vigilance, lest he fall into the Tao again. However, as the old saying goes, only if you are a thief for a thousand days, and if you don't have a thief for a thousand days, you still have to find a way to solve this trouble.

The next day was Sunday, and Meng Zitao got up early, walked around the antique street, and gained a little, and then went to buy some early and returned to his shop.

opened the door and walked into the store, just about to eat breakfast, I saw Song Yiming and Zheng Yaxin walking in with smiles.

Seeing that both of them were holding things in their hands, Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I said you two, are you in a panic that you have too much money, if you don't want it, you can send it to me, why waste it?"

Zheng Yaxin pouted and said, "Brother Meng, why are you hitting us hard, don't you want us to buy the right one, pick up a leak or something?"

"Of course that's fine. Meng Zitao asked solemnly: "By the way, let me ask you something, where did the sun rise today?"

Zheng Yaxin subconsciously replied: "Of course it's the east, do you think it'...... Wow, you're laughing at us again and ignoring you!"

Meng Zitao smiled: "No kidding, did you have breakfast?"

"Hmph, do you want to take care of it?" Zheng Yaxin said unhappily.

"Okay, then I'll treat you as if you've eaten. As Meng Zitao spoke, he took out a piece of roasted wheat and put it in his mouth.

Seeing Meng Zitao's eyebrows dancing when he ate, Zheng Yaxin felt that the gluttonous worms in her stomach were starting to make a fuss, so she rushed up regardless of it, took out a roasted wheat and ate it by herself.

Meng Zitao said to Song Yiming: "Yiming, you can also come and eat together." I'm going to buy some more, what are you going to eat?"

"I'm going to eat mushroom buns. Zheng Yaxin puffed out her mouth and said.

"Didn't you just leave me alone?" said Meng Zitao with a grin.

Zheng Yaxin said vigorously: "Hey, you are Zhou Papi, I have helped you look at the store, can't you provide a breakfast?"

Hearing this, Meng Zitao and Song Yiming were speechless for a while, and said secretly, no wonder the old saying goes, only women and villains are difficult to raise, and if you reverse black and white, you can say it so naturally.

Meng Zitao shook his head and smiled, asked Song Yiming what he thought again, and then went to a nearby snack bar and bought some breakfast back.

After a while, the breakfast I bought just now was empty, Zheng Yaxin leaned back in the chair and said comfortably: "It's so full." ”

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Meng Zitao, and her eyes seemed to have discovered a new continent.

Meng Zitao touched his face and asked a little strangely, "What's the matter, do I have flowers on my face?"

"The face is fine, but there is a problem with the stomach. Zheng Yaxin said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen someone like you, Brother Meng, eat so many things for breakfast, and still have a face that doesn't change, say, do you have a monster hidden in your stomach?"

"If I have a youkai in my stomach, I must eat you first. Meng Zitao laughed, speaking of which, his current amount of food is indeed a bit amazing, just now he ate six steamed buns, and other things, which can add up to at least three or four adult men's meals.
