As he was talking, someone from outside came to report: "Please see someone from the manufacturing office." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Gao Chi frowned and said, "When is this, is there anything in the office that can't be said tomorrow?"

"He said that it was ordered by the princess and concubine," the palace maid bowed her head and said, "The kiln factory must see the new porcelain as soon as it comes out." ”

Zhang Zhaohua was surprised when he heard this: "Yes, I said this, you asked him to come in." ”

In March, the ritual was performed in the temple, Zhang Zhaohua saw that there was blue and white porcelain in the ritual vessels - this is a very rare thing, and the color of the material is not very pure color, which made her very surprised, and asked the deacon about the blue and white porcelain, and the deacon returned to the palace of the palace to make all kinds of utensils and daily necessities, and the kiln factory in Beiping was also under their control, and the left was just "the official prison and the people burned".

A fat man came in and saluted: "Slave Huang Yan, the steward of the manufacturing office, I heard that Niangniang wanted to take a look at the porcelain burned, and the children rushed to work day and night, and this batch of porcelain was just burned, and they didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately sent it to Niangniang to see." ”

"You have worked hard," Zhang Zhaohua said happily: "Who are you Gonggong Ma?"

Hearing this, Huang Yan was stunned and said, "Father-in-law Ma is the godfather of the child." ”

"Gonggong Ma followed His Highness to Liaodong," Huang Yan said: "Before leaving, I ordered the slaves and maids to burn a furnace and transport it to the world, and the children did not dare to slack off, but this material was also difficult to burn, and it was not until the day before yesterday that it was about to be released." ”

At that time, Zhang Zhaohua saw that the ritual vessel was blue and white porcelain, of course, the ritual vessel was used for sacrifice, not a daily thing, the daily porcelain in the house was celadon and white porcelain, she wanted to take a closer look, but the ritual vessel was quickly taken back, and she listened to the deacon say that the office was under the management of Ma Gonggong next to His Royal Highness King Yan, so she retreated and did not ask again, after all, Ma He is the eunuch who is the most personal eunuch of King Yan, and he is also the first old man to enter the palace.

Today, Huang Yan was able to send porcelain, it should not be what the sacrificial deacon said to him, it should be what he said to the deacon, and it reached Ma He's ears, and Ma He then instructed the office to send what he wanted. Zhang Zhaohua found that the people around King Yan and the princess were very knowledgeable and interesting, and when Handong Hanshuang could reach such a standard, it was estimated that it would take a long time to train.

Zhang Zhaohua said with a smile: "I didn't think that there were kiln factories in Beiping, I thought that these were all sent all the way north from the porcelain bureau and imperial kiln in Jingdezhen." ”

"Yes," Huang Yan said with a smile: "Jingdezhen has good porcelain, one is good soil, and the other is that the craftsmen have high craftsmanship." There is no Jingdezhen in Beiping, but this does not prevent us from inviting craftsmen from Jingdezhen to be foremen and make porcelain in Beiping. ”

"Where is your official kiln factory?" Zhang Zhaohua asked.

"In the town of Changziying, Daxing County. Huang Yan replied.

"Yo, it's so far away," Zhang Zhaohua said: "I thought it was in the city, didn't it originally say that there was a kiln on the side of Qihuamen?"

"Originally, the kiln factory was set up there," Huang Yan said: "It's just that the craftsmen are not satisfied, and the hired people are not allowed to use it, and they just break the porcelain with their hands and feet, and they don't pay attention to the fire, and once they burned down the row houses, and the street was burned down; ”

As he spoke, he called for someone to unload the porcelain, and he personally opened the box, counted it, and sighed: "Two are broken." Zhang Zhaohua also walked to the yard to look, only to see that this cart of porcelain was sealed in a box, tied tightly with hemp rope on the outside, and stuffed with sawdust and hay, but in this way, all the way from Daxing to Beiping, even if it was slow, it also broke two bottles.

Zhang Zhaohua said: "You will burn porcelain in the future, you don't have to rush to send it, teach you a method, before the porcelain is packed and sealed, sprinkle soybeans in the gaps, pour water a few times, the beans will sprout quickly when they encounter water, and these gaps will be filled, and the porcelain will be wrapped tightly, and the porcelain will not be squeezed and damaged, and this thing is also elastic, and the porcelain will not be broken when transported to the destination, which is better than a sponge." ”

Gao Chi and Huang Yan seemed to be surprised, looking at their expressions as if they were amazed, it turned out that porcelain could still be transported like this - especially the similar expressions of the two people, as well as similar height and round figures, together they were like two brothers, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but laugh. She is actually strange, Gao Chi seems to be similar to Gao Xu's appearance when he was a child, but Gao Chi grew up and became a hero, and Gao Chi developed horizontally into the appearance of a Buddha, which should not be reasoned, because Gao Chi never eats fatty meat, speaking of which, he actually doesn't eat much meat, I really don't know where his snow-white and delicate fat comes from.

At this time, several palace maids and eunuchs carefully unloaded a cart of porcelain and brought it into the house, Zhang Zhaohua roughly looked, there are large jade pot spring bottles, plum bottles, holding pots such as plum flower arrangement, there are also small pieces of porcelain for drinking tea and soup, but they are all blue and white porcelain, and the color is much brighter than that day in the temple.

Zhang Zhaohua was suspicious, so he said, "What kind of pigment is this?"

"It's all Su materials," Huang Yan said: "The materials for Niangniang must be the best." ”

Before Zhang Zhaohua could say anything, he heard Gao Chi say angrily: "Bastard things, what is burned in the temple is the green material that is not refined, and the good material is kept for you to flatter!"

Huang Yan knelt on the ground and cried when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, the porcelain in the temple was fired in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, at that time only the green material was also used, only in the twenty-first year of Hongwu only a batch of Su material was allocated, and the house did not say what to fire, and it has been kept in the tun and did not dare to use it, but I heard that the mother likes this blue and white porcelain, and the slave maid took the Su material and burned it out on her own initiative." ”

After listening to his defense, Gao Chi was stunned and spoke slightly.

Zhang Zhaohua doesn't know much about the problem of the porcelain materials, but the color of the batch of porcelain in front of her is very similar to the Yuan blue and white porcelain and Yongle blue and white porcelain she has seen in later generations, and what surprised her is the blue and white porcelain in the temple, the color is gray and blue and dull, which she has never seen.

"What's wrong with using a little high-grade material," Zhang Zhaohua said: "There are so many things in the former Yuan, how come we are Ming, but instead buckle the rope and rope - since the emperor gave such Su materials, it is not stored that is rotten day by day, and it is worth the value of this thing when it is burned and used." ”

Gao Chi couldn't say anything about her, he lifted the curtain and entered the house, Zhang Zhaohua said: "Put these things in my house, the farther away from the eyes of your Royal Highness the Prince, the better!

There was a heavy sound in the room, I don't know if the teacup was knocked or the inkstone was down, Zhang Zhaohua didn't care, and commanded people to take it lightly and move the porcelain back to her room.

Huang Yan was dumbfounded, he didn't know what he had thought about, and his face showed a respectful and respectful look, but he was also as Gao Chi said, always making people see an obvious flattering look.
