Chapter 756 Invitation to be a guest

At this time, Chu Chen picked up the gourd bottle and said, "Why do I say it is an imitation of an official kiln artifact from the Ming Dynasty? It is because its characteristics are obvious..."

As one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, official kiln porcelain has always been appreciated by the rulers and literati for its crystal clear glaze color and unique opening, so it was imitated in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Among them, the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty imitated the official kilns of the Song Dynasty, and were mainly concentrated in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. The quality is fine, clean and firm, the enamel is pure, and the glazed jade has a strong texture.Another feature of the Chenghua imitation Song Dynasty official kiln is that the outer bottom foot and the glaze color of the vessel body are the same.

In addition, the imitation of Song official kilns in the Ming Dynasty still has a problem that Chu Chen cannot understand. For example, the imitations of Ge kiln in Song Dynasty were imitated in various periods of Ming Dynasty, but the imitation official kilns were mainly concentrated in the Chenghua and Jiajing dynasties.Why this happens is still a mystery to be studied.

After introducing the general characteristics of imitation official kilns in the Ming Dynasty, Chu Chen also introduced the general characteristics of Song official kiln porcelain. Comparing the two phases, even Kelly, who has no experience in this field, can distinguish the difference.

Finally, Chu Chen took out a high-power magnifying glass and introduced: "The most easily distinguishable feature of Song Guan Kiln is its air bubbles. Generally speaking, air bubbles are divided into three types: fine, foggy, and dense. The characteristics of the three types of bubbles are all different under a magnifying glass, and the fine and dense ones are under a 30 times magnifying glass..."

After he described the surfaces of the three types of bubbles under magnifying glasses of 30 times and 80 times in detail, he asked everyone to carefully observe the gourd bottle in front of them with a magnifying glass.After looking at it, they also found that this gourd bottle did not have the characteristics of the Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain that Chu Chen said.

After such a detailed introduction and comparison, Kelly will never regard the gourd bottle in front of her as an official kiln made in the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Qiao Qian looked at the gourd bottle in front of her and asked curiously, "Brother Chu, I've never seen this kind of gourd bottle before. What is it used for?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Actually, you should have seen the function of this gourd bottle."

"Ah! Then why don't I have any impression?" Josie asked with some doubts after thinking about it.

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Do you still remember that when we visited the Forbidden City together, there was a picture of "Twelve Beauties"..."

Hearing this, Josie immediately remembered that in the picture "Appreciating the Ancients" in "The Picture of Twelve Beauties", there was a gourd bottle of this type on the lacquered table in front of the lady. The glaze colors are all similar, and the two plum blossoms in the bottle, one high and one low, one on one side, are extremely wonderful.

"Oh, so this bottle is for flower arrangement!" Josie said with a smile.

"It turned out to be a vase!" The others were somewhat surprised when they heard what Josie said.Mina even went to fetch the flowers from the vase at home and put them in the vase.

The glaze color of this bottle is elegant, and its shape is exquisite. It is the so-called "The Abode of the God of Flowers".

Although the flowers that Mina brought over were common varieties, they looked unique when they were placed in a bottle.

After a while, Selina sighed and said: "Unfortunately, this bottle is too expensive, otherwise I will buy one and go back to arrange flowers."

Mina and the others also nodded in agreement.

Wu Ke leaned towards Chu Chen and said, "A Chen, don't you have a kiln?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Do you want to say that such a product will be developed by then?"

Wu Ke nodded and said: "Yes, if it can be produced, I think it will definitely be sold."

Mina also agreed with a smile: "If this kind of bottle can really be produced, I can help sell it!"

"Then I will definitely let you be an agent." Chu Chen laughed, and then said: "However, if you can know the firing process, then there is no problem in production, but even if it is an imitation of official kiln porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, It is not so simple to study the firing process at that time, so I have to trouble you to wait patiently."

Speaking of which, Chu Chen's kiln factory has now reached 90.00% of the progress in researching wool porcelain, but that one percent has been stuck, and it has been failing continuously, and a lot of funds have been spent in the last step.Fortunately, those old masters were not discouraged, and Chu Chen has always maintained the inflow of funds.

A few days ago, when Chu Chen was still participating in the public offering, good news finally came from the kiln factory, saying that it should be completed within three months at the latest, and at the earliest, it might only take one month.

This incident made Chu Chen very happy, but after the successful study of Mao porcelain, he has not yet decided whether to study Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain or the five famous kiln porcelains of Song Dynasty. He was so interested in the porcelain gourd vase, so he decided to study official kiln porcelain from the five famous kilns.

Although there must be many difficulties involved, he believes that he will succeed when the time comes, but don't forget that his ability can "see" the material level of things.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and Chu Chen asked, "Kelly, I don't know if you have any ideas about selling these things?"

Kelly thought for a while, and then said: "Chu, I still have to call my father to ask about this matter, please wait a moment."

"Should be..."

Next, Kelly took out her mobile phone and went to the side to make a phone call at home, while the others were discussing enthusiastically about the things in front of them.

Among them, the one who talked the most was Randy, who seemed very silent just now. He seemed to want to finish all the things he didn't say just now, and asked Chu Chen countless questions at once, which made everyone a little unbearable. Mina kept rolling her eyes beside her.

Fortunately, after a while, Kelly came back to save them. She said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "Chu, I'm really sorry. My father said he wanted to think about it for a while."

Hearing what Kelly said, Chu Chen understood that Kelly's father might not approve of his judgment, and he could understand this. After all, the two sides didn't know each other, and Kelly's father should have spent a lot of money to buy these things. Now Hearing him say that it is perfectly normal to have doubts in your heart.

However, Kelly immediately said again: "My father told me just now that he wanted to invite you to my house as a guest the day after tomorrow. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

Chu Chen immediately understood Kelly's father's thoughts. There are two advantages to doing this. First, he can have time to verify his statement.

Secondly, Kelly's house should still have some things to sell. Since all the things that Kelly brought have already turned out like this, the rest of the things are worse than these, and the quality can be imagined.Kelly's father was worried that he would not want to buy it, and now that he was still interested in buying these things, he would definitely agree to visit them.

In fact, Kelly's father really thought it right. Based on his eyesight, if it wasn't because Chu Chen was interested in the imitation official kiln porcelain gourd vase in Ming Dynasty, he would definitely not be willing to agree to this matter. You know, he I also want to spend a few more days in England with Wu Ke.

But then again, based on Mina's relationship, if he tried to persuade him then, he wouldn't be able to refuse with a face, but if it was the day after tomorrow, he would definitely not be able to do it.

Chu Chen said with some embarrassment: "Kelly, my fiancée will participate in the defense the day after tomorrow, and I want to accompany her, so..."

Mina immediately realized what she said, and said, "That's right! I forgot that Ellie is going to defend the defense the day after tomorrow! Are you planning to pass the defense and go back with Chu?"

"Yes!" Wu Ke nodded.

After hearing Wu Ke's reply, Mina and the others were silent, and the atmosphere in the room became a little sad.

Seeing this situation, Wu Ke went forward and shook Mina's hand and said: "There is an old saying in our country, that is, there is always a banquet in the world. I will go back to my country sooner or later. Moreover, the transportation is so developed now that I can go to our country by plane. , it’s also very convenient, you can also come to our house as a guest during the holidays!”

Mina said depressedly: "But the three of you will go back to China in the future, I feel very lonely just thinking about it."

"It's okay, you can go to Huaxia to work at that time!" Wu Ke said with a smile.

"But I can't even learn Chinese well!" Mina shook her head.

Selina said with a smile: "Let's learn it slowly, and some positions don't necessarily require you to know Chinese right away. You can talk about it when you come to our country!"

Hearing this, Mina was really moved, she said hesitantly: "Then let me think about it..."

At this moment, Kelly asked, "Chu, are you free that Saturday?"

"Saturday is no problem." Chu Chen agreed.

Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, Kelly was very happy, so she sent a sincere invitation to the others, and everyone had nothing to do, so they happily agreed.

Because she had to deal with antiques, Kelly left immediately after packing up her things.Josie and Selina played here until late at night before leaving.

After saying goodnight to Mina's family, Chu Chen and Wu Ke returned to the room.

"Achen, what are you going to do tomorrow?" Wu Ke asked, taking off the hairpin from her head, and instantly her long black and beautiful hair fell to her shoulders.

Chu Chen held Wu Ke in his arms from behind, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and said, "You will be defending the day after tomorrow. I won't go anywhere tomorrow, so I'll review with you!"

"Then you are not bored?"

"With you, it's too late to be happy, how can it be boring?"

Hearing such a reply from his lover, Wu Ke felt sweet in his heart.

At this time, Chu Chen laughed and said, "Ke Ke, it's already very late, you say..."

Wu Ke gave Chu Chen a charming look: "What are you talking about, of course I'm going to take a shower! Ah, what are you doing..."

"Of course we're going to take a couple's bath together!" As he said that, Chu Chen laughed and hugged Wu Ke, and then quickly walked into the next bathroom...
