Chapter 795: Turtle Pattern Break
Chu Chen straightened Wu Ke, stared at her eyes, and said, "Keke, have you forgotten what I told me before?" ”
"But ......"
"Nothing!" Chu Chen waved his hand and interrupted directly: "Keke, let me ask you a question, who do you think can match me compared to you?" Don't say anything right, since we can get married, you should know that my family agrees to our marriage. ”
"Uh......" Hearing Chu Chen say this, Wu Ke bit her lip and pondered, in addition to being the right person, she really didn't feel that she was worse than others, so she insisted on finding a shortcoming, that is, she couldn't cook.
"Well, apart from cooking, do you think you're worse than others? So, don't worry about it, and don't say anything about whether you are worthy of this kind of thing in the future! Chu Chen said with a smile.
Although Wu Ke also understood what Chu Chen said, she was still very anxious in her heart, not only that, but she also felt an irritable feeling in her heart.
Seeing Wu Ke's frowning appearance, Chu Chen couldn't help frowning, he was really strange, how could Wu Ke suddenly have such a relationship, they were about to get married, what else was there to worry about in this regard?
"Wait, get married?"
At this time, Chu Chen's mind flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly thought of a word he saw on the Internet some time ago, and then thought of Wu Ke's sudden inexplicable feelings, maybe it was exactly what he thought.
"Coco, you're not afraid of getting married now, are you?"
"Huh?"
Wu Ke was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that the reason why she had such a relationship is now. It's really because of the imminent marriage.
Seeing Wu Ke's appearance, Chu Chen suddenly understood that he had guessed correctly. Wu Ke is likely to suffer from marital phobia, so. He asked softly, "Coco, can you sue me, why are you afraid of getting married?" ”
Wu Ke frowned and thought about it, and after half a sound, she spoke: "I'm worried that after getting married, I won't get along well with Aunt Lin!" ”
After listening to Wu Ke's explanation, Chu Chen smiled helplessly, and was really worried about the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "Keke, my mother is very good." You should have experienced it, but now that you're so worried, you should still have concerns about what I'm saying. ”
Wu Ke nodded and said: "Yes, Achen, you don't know, when I think of this kind of thing in the past two days, I will think of some evil mothers-in-law and unruly daughters-in-law in novels and magazines, and I am really afraid that it will become like this in the future." ”
Chu Chen shook his head and smiled: "First of all, my mother is not a bad mother-in-law. You are not a rude daughter-in-law, so your assumption is not valid. Also, I'm going to criticize you, since you've been thinking about this issue for a few days. Why are you suing me now? ”
Hearing this, Wu Ke looked very embarrassed.
Chu Chen said again: "Keke, your attitude is definitely not good. Marriage is a matter of two families. If you want to be happy, first of all. If you have something to worry about, you have to say it, you have been holding it in your heart, how can you solve the problem? ”
"In addition, if you are worried that you will not get along well with my mother in the future, then learn about my parents' personality and living habits directly or from me, so that you also have a good idea, I don't believe that with your smart mind, you will not be able to solve this kind of problem!"
Wu Ke listened to what Chu Chen said, nodded again and again, and his heart was much more comfortable than before.
Chu Chen hugged Wu Ke in his arms and said gently: "Keke, don't be like you are like today in the future, since we can form a family, then your business is my business, if there is any problem, you have to communicate more, you can never solve the problem if you hold it in your heart, do you know?" ”
"Hmm!" Wu Ke nodded heavily, feeling the warmth of Chu Chen's chest, and her heart was extremely sweet at this time.
The two hugged each other quietly, their hearts were full of tenderness and sweetness, and they really wanted to be so old until they were old, but Wu Ke's "growling" stomach broke the tranquility.
Wu Ke saw the smile on Chu Chen's face, so he slapped him a few times, and said coquettishly: "Don't laugh, haven't you screamed in your stomach!" ”
Chu Chen held back a smile and said, "Yes, yes, I don't laugh!" However, people are iron and rice are steel, let's go and have dinner before talking about this guqin......"
After dinner, the two returned to the room, and when Wu Ke saw the guqin, he couldn't wait to ask, "Achen, you shouldn't be selling anything now, right?" ”
Chu Chen walked to the body of the piano with a smile, then pointed to a position on the headstock, and said, "Look, here is the place where the paint is off." ”
"Huh?" Wu Ke stepped forward, looked at it, frowned and said, "Achen, do you mean the chestnut shell-colored background that is exposed?" Hey! Chestnut shell? ”
Seeing the suspicious look on Wu Ke's face, Chu Chen smiled and said, "How is it, do you remember it?" ”
Although Wu Ke was not serious about learning the guqin before, she still knew the structure and craftsmanship of the guqin, and she said with some surprise: "Achen, do you mean to say that the layer below is a pure antler gray tire, and this is really a guqin from the Tang Dynasty?" ”
The process of making the piano is very exquisite, not to mention the others, in order to better protect the piano, lacquering is an indispensable step.
Because the lacquer is elastic, has the characteristics of never wearing, high hardness, strong adhesion, and good sound transmission effect, even if modern technology is so developed, there is no synthetic paint that can replace its function. Therefore, whether it is ancient or modern, the piano surface lacquer is used raw lacquer.
Lacquer is a famous specialty of our country, the lacquer liquid obtained from the lacquer tree is raw lacquer after removing the water and filtering out the impurities.
The quality of lacquer is closely related to the origin, lacquer variety, site conditions, and lacquer cutting time. "Materia Medica" records: "Where the lacquer, but the rare ones are picked up with things, the fine things are continuous, broken and urgent, and they are painted on the poles and bamboos, and the shade dries quickly, and it is good." ”
The drying of lacquer must be in the shade, if it is not handled properly, it is easy to cause rework and waste. The same lacquer is easier to dry in the south than in the north, easier to dry in spring and autumn than in summer and winter, easier to dry in new paint than old paint, and easier to dry in thick paint than in thin paint.
The natural paint film is hard and shiny, has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, water resistance, oil resistance and resistance to a variety of organic solvents, and has good electrical insulation properties. Today, we are fortunate to touch the thousand-year-old piano, and the credit of good lacquer can never be erased.
In addition, the wood of the piano surface is soft, in order to protect the piano surface from long-term wear and tear, and to have the effect of sound transmission, in addition to the good lacquer, there must be gray tires under the surface paint of the piano, so the work of adding lacquer ash has become the most important part of the violin-making.
There are eight kinds of lacquer ash used on the piano, such as antler ash, porcelain ash, brick ash, etc., the most common of which is antler ash, tile ash and Babao ash, and the combination of raw lacquer and antler ash is recognized as the best paint by the qinist for a long time.
Antler ash is made of antler cream powder and raw lacquer, and the reason why pure antler ash is the 100% antler cream used.
Now many guqin sellers say that their thousands of yuan guqin uses pure antler ash, Chu Chen thinks it's ridiculous.
You know, sika deer is a national protected animal, even if there are raised, the number is pitiful, think about a guqin length of more than one meter, width of about 20 centimeters, such a large area, the use of pure antler ash, thousands of dollars to buy down? Or is it that the businessmen are all living Lei Feng and like to make loss-making transactions?
To get back to the point, the reason why Wu Ke thinks that this piano is a guqin of the Tang Dynasty is also because after a long period of precipitation, the surface of the Tang Dynasty guqin is painted gray with two colors: ink and chestnut shell color, this piano is just chestnut shell color, of course Wu Ke will be so suspicious.
Chu Chen replied: "Is it a piano from the Tang Dynasty, you have to remove the paint on the top and look at the broken lines below!" ”
Wu Ke nodded again and again when he heard this, expressing his agreement.
Broken lines refer to the various fractures on the surface of the piano due to years of weathering and vibration during playing. There are many types of broken lines, mainly plum blossom breaks, cow hair breaks, snake belly breaks, ice pattern breaks, flowing water breaks, dragon scales breaks, etc.
For example, the broken lines of Tang Qin are mostly broken by the belly of the snake, and there are also broken ice lines and flowing water. If the lacquer on it is removed after a while, and many snake bellies are broken, then it is very likely that this qin is a Tang qin.
Just do it, Chu Chen first tore the masking paint on it with his hand on the part where the paint had fallen off, and found that this layer of paint had weathered very badly and could be easily removed, so the two of them immediately started to remove the top layer of paint carefully and quickly.
With the passage of time, there was less and less disguise paint on the piano surface, and Wu Ke saw that there were many patterns on the piano surface that were like ice cracks, horizontal and vertical interweaving, and when it was finished, she asked with some disappointment: "Achen, is this an ice pattern broken?" ”
Ice pattern break is a variety of broken lines that were only said to be opened in the late Ming Dynasty, and the ancients did not mention it. In the heirloom guqin, ice patterns are quite common on the Yuan and Ming qins. Therefore, Wu Kecai seemed a little disappointed.
Chu Chen said with a smile: "The Ice Pattern Break is smaller than this, this is the Turtle Pattern Break." ”
Wu Ke's face changed, and he exclaimed: "This is a turtle pattern break?!" ”
Guqin is the most precious with turtle pattern break, and the qin family often has the saying that "it is difficult to buy turtle pattern break for thousands of years", and the age it represents is also very ancient. The second is the plum blossom pattern, and then the cow hair break, the snake belly break (divided into the big and small snake belly break) and the flowing water break (divided into the big and small water break) and so on.
However, although the turtle pattern is the most precious, ordinary people only hear its name and do not see it, and now when he sees this kind of pattern at first glance, Wu Ke's surprise in his heart can be imagined.
Wu Ke settled his mind and asked, "Ah Chen, could it be that this guqin is earlier than the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Chu Chen shook his head and said: "Generally speaking, the qin does not break for a hundred years, and the broken lines are different with the age, which is one of the main bases for connoisseurship of the guqin. But this is actually a misunderstanding, judging from the historical hand-me-down objects, the guqin of the Republic of China Zuò also has broken lines. Some traditional crafts of making zuò guqin are even broken when the zuò is not completed, and there are broken ......" (to be continued......
