In the following days, Song Qingyi began to study in the study room for two hours in the morning every day, went back to the room at noon to have dinner with Zhengjun, and consulted with his father in the afternoon.

Master Song is naturally relieved.

Only Song Qingyi himself knows that he is much more serious now than the negative jokes when he was admitted to the academy.

Although Song Qingyi had not been in contact with the skills of glaze craftsmen, and he was faintly repulsed by inheriting the craftsman, after all, he grew up in such a family, and he still had a certain understanding of the inheritance of glaze. It was only after careful and systematic study and understanding that he realized that this skill was more historical and profound than what he knew.

Colored glass is not a native thing, more than 1,000 years ago from the west, because of its color and deeply loved by the emperor, and even respected as the first of the five famous vessels including gold and silver, jade, glass, ceramics, bronze, and then because of its clear and gorgeous gold, silver, amber, coral, clams, agate was listed as the seven treasures of Buddhism. The glaze has a long heritage, and the techniques have gradually become rich from the rough at the beginning to the current refinement. From the earliest glass tube beads of glass sand, to the later dragonfly eyes with persimmon pattern, snake pattern and then to monochrome imitation jade, crystal thin tire, strong Yingluo, until now the glass glaze with light and color and different colors and different styles of pearl decorations. *

The introduction of these miscellaneous systems was recorded in the book sent by Master Song, which Song Qingyi originally used to intersperse in the account book, but in the back, he let him put down the account book and look at it seriously.

Song Qingyi boasted that he didn't know how to make glass, but he knew how to appreciate it. The brilliance of the glaze is because it is clear and crystalline, the color is rich and gorgeous, and at the same time, it is natural and self-contained, and there is no repetitive beauty. In the past, he said this sentence can only be regarded as knowing what it is, he doesn't know why, he knows that a few colors of glass are worth a little value, what feel of the glass is considered to be a top grade, but if you fire multi-colored, or control the color change in the firing process, these skills are completely unknown, and as a Song family, these are the most important and should be understood.

Flipping through Song Qingyi, he found several books on the foundation of the Song family's craftsmanship.

The basis of the Song family's craftsmanship is actually the technique that is now circulating in all living beings, and the folk skills of the former dynasty have summarized the glaze making technique in his books that have been handed down to future generations - using "glazed stone" to add "glazed mother" to fire. Glazed stone is a kind of natural pearl jade, with five colors, and it is born naturally. The so-called glazed mother is extracted from various ores to catalyze the glazed stone to make it change, and finally form a formula of various colors of crystal glass. The difference between the houses of the various glaze craftsmen is the difference in the formula of their respective glass mothers. And this is also the foundation of the Song family, which makes the Song family stand out from other glass craftsmen.

In the book sent by Master Song, it is mentioned that the raw materials that can be used for the color of glass - white five, purple one, Ling Zi is purple, and crystal; Enter its purple, retreat its white, go to its Lingzi, and get white; White three, purple one, Ling Zi such as purple, add less copper and iron filings, and get plum calyx red; The white three, the purple one, go to its ling, enter its copper, go to its iron, and get blue; The law is like white, hooked with copper moraine, and autumn yellow; The law is like a crystal, hooked to paint the bowl stone, and the green is reflected; The law is white, add lead, the more the better, and get the teeth white; The law is like the white of the teeth, and the iron is added to the black; The law is like crystal, add copper, and get green; The law is like green, retreat its copper, add less moraine, and get goose yellow. *

Song Qingyi looked interesting, took down a box from the Bogu shelf behind him, opened it, and it contained all kinds of small glass pieces, including dragonfly eyes, beaded jade hairpins, and various bracelets. Monochrome, two-color, and even a few fine three-color glass. You must know that with the current glaze skills, most of the glass produced is single and two-color glaze, and there are also three-color and four-color glaze, but there are many fewer than the previous ones. And in the Song family, more than three colors are considered to be high-quality, four colors are enough for the court, five colors are rare in the court, six colors and seven colors are the things that capture the world and creation, with the Song family accumulated for several generations, it is just the colorful glass cup.

Song Qingyi rubbed the small pieces in his hand one by one, comparing them with the materials mentioned in the book. After careful examination, it was found that although the records in these books were mixed, many important points were blurred, such as the saying of "purple one, go to its Ling, enter its copper, go to its iron, and get blue", "go to its Ling" to go to a few points of Ling, "to enter its copper" to enter a few points of copper, "to go to its iron" to go to a few points of iron, and finally to get a blue glass.

However, this is still a general introduction book, or in the future, when he learns how to make it, there will be a clearer recipe in front of him. Song Qingyi stroked the persimmon pattern dragonfly eyes on his hand, thinking that he had never been willing to understand the glaze technique in his previous life, but he didn't expect that this time he calmed down and looked at it carefully, not only did he not force it, but he saw the fun from it. I don't know what I rebelled against in my previous life.

The smile on the corner of his mouth carried a hint of mockery of himself, Song Qingyi shook his head, don't think about it, no matter how much repentance is useless, it is better to take a serious look at the account books, learn the skills, inherit the family business as soon as possible, support the door, let the parents rest assured, and avoid the sad and powerless ending of the previous life.

Because Song Qingyi unexpectedly showed a little interest in glaze-making techniques, Master Song was pleased to send Uncle Nan to follow and teach him two hours a day. Therefore, Song Qingyi knew that when the Song master went down to the kiln, Uncle Nan was the most outstanding mold making and color burning master in the kiln factory at that time, and he left the kiln factory because of the importance of the Song master, but even so, he had to leave the Song Mansion every once in a while to bring his disciples to the kiln, and a few important orders, until he injured his hand and gradually concentrated on following the Song master.

In his previous life, he had never been interested in the family business, and his father did not let Uncle Nan come over, so he had never heard of this period, but he just remembered that Uncle Nan was the second steward of the outer courtyard when he was young, and he did often leave for a while.

After having Uncle Nan by his side, Song Qingyi's progress in reading books was faster, perhaps because he already had a certain talent for Liuli, and he was able to draw inferences from the descriptions in the book and put forward many questions and opinions, which surprised Uncle Nan.

Probably because Uncle Nan mentioned Song Qingyi's cousin during this time in front of Master Song, he was called to the study by his father a few days later.

When the father and son met again, there was no such stiff atmosphere as when Song Qingyi woke up for the first time, and Master Song rarely looked at his sister-in-law who had given him a headache with a relieved gaze.

"The glass of the Song family is a skill, although reading is good, but the skill of this kind of thing still needs to be started to understand quickly, let Yu Nan take you to the factory kiln in a few days."

In an unexpected and reasonable conversation, his father waited for him to turn back for too long, probably because he was afraid that his rare rise would be suppressed by boring theories, so he made arrangements for him with some urgency.

Song Qingyi, who is a son of man, respectfully accepted his father's kindness. For him, learning his own glass-making skills is also the most urgent thing at hand.
