Chapter 173: Chunyan

Jiang Li has been in the plum blossom dock for more than ten days since he got half of the ancient brocade, as if he was enchanted, and he has been thinking about how to restore the broken ancient brocade for more than ten days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Mei Zixuan heard about the Zhang Jin from his sister, and also rushed to Meihuawu, because of the etiquette, he specially brought Mei Yingxue with him.

As soon as I entered the yard, the drawing paper in the yard was densely packed with warp and weft lines, and the pattern was drawn on another piece of paper, and one was posted all over the yard. The wind is together, and the paper in the yard flies like butterflies, but none of them fly up and float away. It can be seen that these papers are not pasted randomly, at least with heart, and they are very stable.

There was no one in the empty yard, and there was not a single girl and mother-in-law, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Mei Yingxue has always had a big grinning temperament, and when she saw the confetti all over the yard, she immediately stared at her big black eyes, raised her eyebrows with appropriate shades, and said angrily: "The yard is so messy and can't be cleaned up, these girls are all reversed one by one, so snubbing Jiang Li's cousin." Looks like they need to be refreshed today! As he spoke, he reached for a piece of paper that had been posted on the wall of the yard.

"Don't move!" Mei Zixuan saw some fame, and hurriedly reached out to stop her sister. "Maybe the paper will be useful." As he spoke, he walked one step ahead of the courtyard to the courtyard.

Mei Zi said in a boastful voice: "Sister Jiang Li, do you have time to come out and talk about it?" No one in the room responded, but a girl immediately ran out.

"I've seen the fourth son and the seventh lady." The little girl saluted, and raised her eyes with a tired look on her face, "You guys are good to come, just in time to pull Miss Biao out to rest." ā€

Mei Zixuan was surprised: "Her brocade workshop has not yet opened, why do you have to draw so many patterns?" ā€

It is said that there are many brocade workshops of the Mei family, and they draw pictures according to the trend of the market, and the craftsmen who paint the brocade patterns are invited by the workshop, so there is no need for the Mei family to worry about it.

But he also knew before that the brocade in Jiangli's workshop was different, and those brocades from Nanchen had not yet been mass-produced by anyone in Jiangnan who had opened a workshop.

"It's not for the workshop, it's the half of the broken brocade." The little girl said, "In the past ten days, she has been studying the broken brocade day and night, sleeping less, eating less, walking, sitting and lying with drawings." We girls help her fill the house with paperwork every day, and she says that she has to carefully consider it to see if it can be used, and we are not allowed to clean it up. If she continues like this, she will go crazy. ā€

He said and pointed to the study, "I've been in the study since I was in the morning, and I haven't moved my feet yet." ā€

Mei Yingxue glanced at her brother and walked towards the study first.

The study was also full of drawings. Jiang Li's hair was loosely tied at the back of his head, wearing a homely wide-sleeved high-waisted robe, frowning, holding drawings in his hand and a pen in one hand. There was a girl lying on her stomach at the other end of the bookcase, breathing slightly and sleeping soundly.

"Xiaoxiang Xiaoxiang, hurry up, there are guests coming." Jiang Liyi looked up and saw Mei Zixuan's brother and sister come in and knocked on the table with a brush stick. The whites of her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and her face was a little pale and blue, but her eyes were translucent, and she was in good spirits.

Xiaoxiang woke up with an "oh oh" sound and quickly got up to add tea.

"I heard you got a baby." Mei Zixuan teased, "I'll open my eyes." ā€

"Come, come, here." Jiang Li got up and took down the half of the brocade from the bookshelf and spread it out on the table, "Cousin, you have been selling goods overseas for many years, why don't you see if this brocade is a good product?" ā€

Mei Yingxue is not focused on business except for playing, and she is not proficient in the quality of brocade, but Mei Zixuan is different, she has been dealing with silk and satin all the year round, took a look, and then reached out to touch it carefully, her expression gradually became solemn, "Where did you get this brocade?" ā€

"Qingzhou, I'm not sure. The master craftsman who taught me to weave brocade is a native of Nanchen, a master I recognize. He asked someone to bring me this brocade from Qingzhou, and let me wonder how I could restore it to its original state. Jiang Li briefly revealed.

Mei Zixuan gently picked up half of the brocade, and the brocade showed different colors in different lights, "This brocade has been around for some years, it looks very valuable, it seems to be a landscape, it is more difficult to crack than the palindrome brocade, and it is damaged so much, are you sure to restore it to the original state?" ā€

"Although the damage is serious, according to the distribution of the warp and weft, as well as the color transformation of the flowers, it should be possible to find some clues. The world has spread the palindromic brocade "Xuanji Tu" of the Qin Su family before the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which can be called a unique one in the ages, and no one in later generations can match. For landscape painting, I think it's much easier than palindrome tapestry. So it's somewhat certain. After thinking about it many times, Jiang Li still said thoughtfully.

Mei Zixuan shook her head: "You said that this brocade is easier than palindrome brocade, but I don't dare to agree." Although I don't have much contact with Nanchen's brocade, I can still distinguish the color of the goods at a glance. This brocade reminds me of the legend that has been passed down in Nanchen. ā€

"Oh?" The cousin was really well-informed, and Jiang Li suddenly became interested, "Tell me about it." ā€

Mei Zixuan smiled: "I'm also hearsay, you can listen to it as a story, don't directly contact this piece of brocade." After a pause, he coughed lightly before saying, "I have been to many places, and Nan Chen has also been there." Nanchen locals have said that they are most famous for the cloud brocade, the cloud brocade is painted with flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds and beasts, the general brocade with both form and spirit, and then lined with gorgeous and gorgeous colors, coupled with the light and thin texture of the cloud brocade, the brocade with the above conditions can be regarded as the best. ā€

Jiang Li nodded. Unexpectedly, my cousin really said the essence of Yunjin. It seems that he, a businessman, has also achieved the best, so he will memorize the characteristics of every commodity he handles, and now he can easily say it.

"But I have come into contact with some dignitaries and dignitaries in Nanchen, according to them, the best Yunjin woven by Nanchen is treasured in Nanchen Palace, and it is not flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds and beasts, but woven landscapes."

Legend has it that there was a brocade weaving wizard in the Southern Chen Dynasty, who was very good at weaving landscape paintings, and the most outstanding of them was a "Splendid Landscape Map". As soon as this picture came out, it was regarded as a national treasure by Emperor Nanchen and treasured it. Many years later, the "Splendid Picture of the Country" was damaged in the palace coup, and then the wizard died, and his disciple was even more blue than blue, imitating the "Xuanji Picture", but not his master's painting. Therefore, the world can say that the landscape brocade of Nanchen is the most complicated. ā€

Mei Yingxue accompanied Jiang Li to the front yard.

Walking through the garden all the way, a few turns and turns, Mei Yingxue asked Jiang Li about things in the capital all the way, and Jiang Li answered them one by one.

Yingxue also told some interesting stories about herself. She also often follows her brother and father to socialize outside, and has seen a lot of strange people and strange things. The difference is that although the Mei family has been an imperial businessman, the ancestors have not been an official for several generations, and the women of the merchant family do not have as many rules as the Jiang family, Mei Yingxue is more casual when she goes out than Jiang Li used to be in the Jiang family, unless it is necessary, many times she goes out in the guise of a daughter, as long as she comes back on time, Mei Yuanshan will not interfere too much.
