Chapter 42: Pleasing to the Eye

The next day, Jacques came to Yu Pin Xuan again and made a special trip to visit Lao Wei.

In the studio, Old Wei sat in a chair, and in his intelligible voice, he was laboriously explaining to Jacques how to repair a gallbladder bottle that was almost crushed to pieces.

Jacques stood opposite Lao Wei and listened, as if he was engrossed, but from his unconscious frowning brows, it was obvious that Jacques, who was not very good at Chinese, had a hard time understanding the professional terms that ordinary people could not understand in Old Wei.

Old Wei was full of interest, and Jacques never interrupted him, Wei Xiaojun accompanied him, and realized that what Lao Wei said was completely beyond Jacques's comprehension, and his expression was a little helpless, so he could only smile apologetically at Jacques.

As soon as the door of the studio opened, Wei Xiaoqiao came in from the outside, Wei Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and smiled at Wei Xiaoqiao: "Dad talked too much today, and he is not afraid of being tired, why don't you talk to Jacques?"

Wei Xiaoqiao let out a "hmm", walked straight to the window of the studio, and closed the window with a crack open.

"What's wrong?" Wei Xiaojun noticed Wei Xiaoqiao's straight face, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"It's fine. Wei Xiaoqiao shook his head, then exhaled.

Leaning against the window for a while, Wei Xiaoqiao walked behind Lao Wei, held the back of his chair, and asked, "Dad, where did you just say?"

"Open...... Slice...... Make...... Old. Old Wei raised his head, word by word.

Wei Xiaoqiao understood, took a fragment from the workbench and put it in his palm, but sighed in his heart, there were too many messy things in the past two days, she couldn't calm down at all, not to mention the gall bottle that Jacques was waiting for to repair, and even the glazing of the Jun kiln flower pot hadn't had time to do.

"The most attractive thing about your bile bottle is its miraculous opening, which is the cracks you see now, they are also known as 'gold wires'," Wei Xiaoqiao pointed to the fine lines on the fragments and continued: "When we have finished splicing and supplementing all the fragments, the next step is to draw cracks on the bottle body, and fill the cracks in the black and yellow colors respectively, so as not to damage the integrity and smoothness of the opening." ”

Jacques probably understood this time, and also picked out a fragment and took it in his hand, looked at it for a while, and said: "My grandfather said that he likes these lines on the bottle very much, I went to several antique markets in Jincheng yesterday, hoping to find porcelain products similar to the bottle I brought back, and the result ...... I couldn't find it at all. ”

"This kind of opening process of Ge kiln has long been lost," Wei Xiaoqiao smiled: "Although you can occasionally see imitations, they are all very clumsy and not worth mentioning." ”

"Couldn't Yu Pin Xuan do this...... Cracked bottle?" Jacques asked curiously.

"Due to some unknown reasons, there is a lack of records of the ice crack porcelain production process of the brother kiln in the history books or notes," Wei Xiaoqiao said, looking at old Wei: "My father has been rolling in the porcelain shop for so many years, and he loves the things of the brother kiln to death, but if you don't respect him, you will not be allowed to enter." ”

Lao Wei had been listening silently, and at this moment he said coldly: "Xiao Qiao, you ...... promised...... Target. ”

Wei Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what Lao Wei meant, and said with a smile: "I didn't know what the sky and the earth said at the beginning, why don't you forget it?"

It's hard for Lao Wei to think about it in his heart for so many years, Wei Xiaoqiao used to boast about Haikou, saying that sooner or later he would burn out an azure glazed ice crack teapot, so that after Lao Wei retired, he would hold it everywhere and show it off.

"You...... Owe...... Teapot. Lao Wei laughed, his eyes innocent like a child.

Wei Xiaoqiao sighed, put the fragment back, squatted next to Lao Wei, and rubbed the shaking hand for him.

In the end, there was something in his heart, Wei Xiaoqiao didn't stay in the studio for long, so he turned around and went out, planning to take a look outside.

Just now, a group of people wearing engineering uniforms came to Porcelain Street, and as soon as they came, they began to set up ladders, and after a while, a loudspeaker was installed at the east end of the street.

Wei Xiaoqiao has seen this battle a long time ago, and the previous developers were also so lacking in morality, setting up a loudspeaker and playing "Demolition and Relocation Mobilization Order" 24 hours a day, and you have to move until you have to stop.

This tweeter is set up again, I don't know when it will start to be noisy, Wei Xiaoqiao is very anxious, Lao Wei and his family will not leave until the next day, there are two days left, she is really afraid that Lao Wei will accidentally hear something, even if she goes abroad, she is not at ease even for treatment.

Wei Xiaoqiao came out of it, and some neighbors happened to have entered the Yupinxuan, holding a leaflet in his hand, and said to Lao Wu standing at the door: "See, the trick is here again, and now I am in a hurry to distribute leaflets, and I haven't even explained the resettlement plan, so I want to drive us away!"

Lao Wu looked at the flyer, put it on the nearby counter, and followed the neighbors out of the Yupinxuan.

Wei Xiaoqiao picked up the flyer, didn't even look at it, threw it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can next to him.

"Xiao Qiao, get your sister's business class!" Ma Hengxing came in from outside, still shouting.

Wei Xiaoqiao looked at Ma Heng in surprise: "Didn't you say that there is no seat?"

Since the old Wei couple agreed to go to the United States, Wei Xiaojun immediately went to book a ticket, but found that there were only two business class seats left on the nearest flight.

Wei Xiaoqiao naturally felt sorry for her sister, so she asked Ma Heng for help to see if she could change to other flights.

"As long as my brother and I go out of this kind of thing, can we still handle it?" The next time I book a plane ticket, I will leave it to me, a ten-hour flight, ask your sister to sit in such a crowded seat, don't you feel sorry for me!" Ma Heng looked proud, and raised his eyebrows at Wei Xiaoqiao: "Also, I asked a friend in the United States to help, and rented an independent apartment near the hospital where our father was treated, although it is not very big, but it is enough for a family of three, and the scenery is good, the old man is discharged from the hospital, and he has to have a comfortable place to stay, right?"

Wei Xiaoqiao nodded, and then said to Ma Heng: "I won't thank you first, all the expenses are added together, you give me a number, and I will transfer it to you." ”

"What ...... said," Ma Heng pretended to be dissatisfied, "Treat me as an outsider?"

Wei Xiaoqiao smiled and deliberately teased Ma Heng: "You are really an outsider, this money must be given, I have to take care of my sister's face, after all, Jacques is still here!"

"What does this have to do with Yake Candy?" Ma Heng was really unhappy this time.

Wei Xiaoqiao walked to the door and looked at the archway, where the people of the engineering team set up a ladder and tied a tweeter to the relief side post of the archway.

"Here is this trick again!" Ma Heng stood behind Wei Xiaoqiao, also looked out, and then turned to Wei Xiaoqiao, and said, "Xiao Qiao, I'll give you an idea, keep them and don't have the courage to demolish our house!"

Wei Xiaoqiao turned around and asked with a funny face, "When did you grow up so capable?"

Ma Heng raised a hand, just wanted to speak, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and he patted his head and said: "You wait a while, I have all the information with me, I forgot to get the car just now, I'll go get it, don't worry, let's go out this step back, the turtle grandchildren dare to move the Yupinxuan, and there will be police uncles waiting for them!"

Wei Xiaoqiao looked funny, but he felt that Ma Heng's bull was blowing boundlessly, and at this time, Ma Heng had already pulled out his legs and ran out.

"Ma Hengta...... Still chasing Xiaojun?" Jacques didn't know when he came out and stood behind Wei Xiaoqiao.

Wei Xiaoqiao looked back at Jacques and asked with a smile: "It's been so many days together, you still can't see it?"

Jacques stretched out his hands: "Of course I can see it, but I can also see that Jun is very ...... Hesitation, it should be, can't be sure whether to accept him or not. ”

"I know my sister so well, are you also chasing?" Wei Xiaoqiao asked, which was a little tentative.

"Jun is a female friend I admire very much, we have common topics and hobbies, but ...... People who are too similar are not easy to fall in love, and I have always felt that Mr. Ma seems to lack self-confidence. Jacques laughed.

Hearing Jacques's words, Wei Xiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, maybe Ma Heng was infatuated with Wei Xiaojun, Wei Xiaoqiao had been watching for so many years, and there was no way not to stand on his side.

"I've got the information, Xiao Qiao, take a look!" Ma Heng ran back after a while, holding a big envelope in his hand: "I got the ticket today, so I went to the Cultural Relics Bureau and told people about the situation of our Yupinxuan, and the result was ......."

Wei Xiaoqiao's eyes flashed, he took the envelope, took out the documents inside, and before Ma Heng finished speaking, he had already asked: "What do you mean, let us apply for cultural relics protection units?"

"It's not, as long as there is a sign of a municipal-level cultural relics protection unit hanging at the door of our Yupinxuan, it is a gold medal for avoiding death. Ma Heng said excitedly.

"What do you mean, Mr. Ma, to turn this place into a cultural relic?" asked Jacques, as if he didn't understand.

"Make no mistake, my father-in-law's house has been standing here for hundreds of years, can it be changed, it is a cultural relic!" Ma Heng immediately seized the opportunity and snatched a sentence from Jacques: "In the end, it is a foreigner, I don't understand our human feelings!"

"In the past, some people suggested that we apply for a cultural heritage protection unit, but my dad was not very happy because he was worried that the house would be taken away by the top. Wei Xiaoqiao looked down at the documents, feeling that the procedures were a little complicated.

"I specifically asked, people said, as long as there is historical preservation and research value, and through the expert review, even if it is a private building, it can also be included in the cultural relics protection unit," Ma Heng said this, looked at Jacques again, and asked Wei Xiaoqiao a little arrogantly: "Now I understand, I am indispensable to this family, no matter what happens, my brother will bear it for you!"

Wei Xiaoqiao took those materials, flipped through them again from beginning to end, looked up at Ma Heng, and finally had hope in his heart, it was indeed the road to the end.

"How did you think of that?" Wei Xiaoqiao looked at Ma Heng today and found that he was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

"You don't have to worry about this, without further ado, hurry up and prepare the materials, the Niu family's Wangyuanzhai is also preparing to declare, when the time comes, you give the materials to Niu Jiabao, he is absolutely willing to serve you as a dog and horse!" Ma Heng's last sentence was quite meaningful.

Wei Xiaoqiao's whole mind was on the thick pile of information in his hand, and as he walked inside, he said, "I'll tell my dad to go!"
