Jianbao life

Chapter 845 Silk Flower
After bidding farewell to Boss Qin at the entrance of the restaurant, Chu Junfeng said with a smile: "Third brother, it's rare that younger siblings are here today, why don't you come with me to sit with your sister-in-law?"

Chu Chen looked at Wu Ke first, and seeing that she readily agreed, he smiled and said, "Of course you can go, but then don't think about my jigsaw table!"

Chu Junfeng rubbed his nose, smiled shyly and said, "Third brother, don't refuse so quickly! This is just an ordinary item to you, and it won't be too difficult for you to get another one in the future." things."

Chu Chen teased and said with a smile: "It's easy for you to say that, but it's not so easy to find a jigsaw table of this quality. It's really not easy to meet again next time. Besides, don't you just look Strange, after a while, the novelty will disappear, and I have completely forgotten about this thing, it is completely reckless to give it to you."

Chu Junfeng smiled and said: "If this thing belongs to me, it is really like this, but I am going to give it to Binger. She is very obsessed with this kind of classical furniture, and she will definitely not cast it secretly."

Speaking of this, he bowed his hands to Chu Chen: "Third brother, please do me a favor, give me this jigsaw table! Then I will exchange it for you with a piece of porcelain!"

Chu Chen was originally joking, but now he felt a little curious after hearing what Chu Junfeng said, and asked, "What porcelain?"

At this time, Chu Junfeng became impatient instead: "What kind of porcelain, let's talk about it when we get there. Anyway, you won't suffer."

"Let's go then..."

Chu Chen and the others' cars stopped in front of a courtyard house one after the other. When they got out of the car, the pickup truck with the jigsaw table behind them also arrived.

Tang Binger, who got the news in advance, was already waiting at the door. After the two parties greeted each other, they asked someone to move the jigsaw table to the living room first.

Although Chu Junfeng said that the courtyard house he bought for Tang Binger was relatively small, it actually had a three-entry structure. Although it was incomparable with Chu Chen's courtyard house, it was very large for ordinary people, and the price was certainly not cheap.

After the porter left, Tang Binger asked the servant to pour a cup of tea for everyone, and then Chu Junfeng showed off the knowledge of the jigsaw table that he had just heard from Chu Chen, let alone, Chu Junfeng's memory is very good, coupled with his eloquence, he really speaks vividly. Those who don't know him will think that Chu Junfeng is an expert who has studied in this way for many years.

After introducing the Qiqiao table, Chu Junfeng looked at Tang Binger with a smile, as if saying, "Praise me quickly."

"Ah Chen told you what you just said!" Tang Bing'er said the truth with a smile.

"I said, praise me too!"

Chu Junfeng was immediately discouraged, and his appearance made both Chu Chen and Wu Ke secretly laugh.

"All right, all right! I'll reward you with a grape, let's do it!" Tang Binger smiled and brought a grape to Chu Junfeng's mouth.

"Really tasty……"

While eating, Chu Junfeng gave Chu Chen a smug look. That exaggerated expression made Chu Chen really dumbfounded.

After talking and joking for a while, Chu Chen saw some cut silk on the table and the semi-finished products made next to it, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, is this the capital silk flower?"

Jingcheng silk flower, called head ornament flower in ancient times, is one of the traditional handicrafts in my country, also known as "Beijing flower". artistic expression.

The origin of silk flowers began in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1000 years.According to legend, Yang Guifei, the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of Tang Dynasty, had a scar on her left temple. Every day, the court ladies had to pick flowers and put them on her temples.However, in winter, the flowers fade away.An ingenious court lady made fake flowers out of ribbed silk and silk and presented them to the imperial concubine.

Later, this kind of "headdress flower" spread among the people, became popular for a while, and gradually developed into a unique handicraft "silk flower".

The silk flowers that are abundant in the capital began around the Ming Dynasty.In the Qing Dynasty, silk flowers became more popular. The various workshops set up by the Imperial Palace of the Qing Palace included "Hua'er Zuo", specializing in the production of various colors of damask, silk, silk, paper, Tongcao, rice, etc. for banquets and decorations. Flowers for wearing.

Tang Binger nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's Jingjuan."
"This is something that your sister-in-law was bored to learn before. At that time, the professor's master kept praising your sister-in-law for her ingenuity..."

Chu Junfeng first praised Tang Binger a few words, then pointed to a pot of flowers next to him, and said, "Look, are the fakes confusing the real?"

Chu Chen and Wu Ke looked in the direction Chu Junfeng said, and found that the potted flower could really be mistaken for the real one. If they didn't observe it closely, most people would really not be able to tell that the potted flower was fake.

"Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is so high, can you make a silk flower for me to admire now!"

Wu Ke had only seen finished silk flowers before, and it seemed that they were not as good as Tang Binger's, so he immediately became interested.

"Okay!" Tang Bing'er agreed, then walked to the table and sat down, then picked up the materials next to her and started to make.

For any thing, it should be the easiest to get started, but it is not so easy to master it after getting started. Similarly, if it is said to make a silk flower, ordinary people can make it after learning, but if you want to make a silk flower Resemblance in form is not so easy, and resemblance in spirit after form is even more difficult.

The silk made by Tang Binger is not only similar in shape, but also somewhat similar in spirit. From this point of view, Chu Junfeng's praise is not an exaggeration. If Tang Binger can concentrate on research in this way in the future, he will become a Beijing Master Silk is perfectly fine.

Tang Binger finally made the flower and stem, and a peony that could be mistaken for the real one immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"It's really lifelike..." Chu Chen and Wu Ke applauded in amazement.

"That's right, don't you look at who chose this!" Chu Junfeng said triumphantly with his arms around Tang Bing'er.

"Virtue!" Tang Bing'er gave Chu Junfeng a coquettish look.

"Okay, second brother, stop showing off in front of us, go and show me the porcelain you mentioned earlier!" Chu Chen laughed.

"Haha, be envious..."

After Chu Jun laughed, he went out to get his things.

Wu Ke was also very interested in making silk flowers. After Chu Junfeng left, she said, "Sister-in-law, can you teach me this silk flower?"

"What's wrong with this, and you are so smart, you must learn much faster than me." Tang Bing'er smiled and pulled Wu Ke to her side, and began to teach him hand in hand.

After a while, Chu Junfeng returned to the living room with a pot in his hand, and then put the pot on the coffee table.

"Here, this is the thing, not worse than your Qiqiao table?"

Chu Chen saw that it was a cowpea red general jar.

The general jar is one of the jars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its cover resembles a general's helmet, so it got its name.General jars first appeared in the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty, and the spirit of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty was basically finalized and prevailed in the Kangxi Dynasty.Its shape is tall, and its shape is slightly different in each dynasty.

When Chu Chen saw that it was such a thing, he smiled and said, "Second brother, I estimate that this general jar is worth 40 to [-] yuan. My jigsaw table is only worth tens of thousands of yuan. Are you willing to change it?"

"What is there to be reluctant about?" Chu Junfeng waved his hand, and said with a chuckle, "Besides, someone begged me to do something and gave it to me, and it didn't cost me any money! See if this thing is right."

"Connections are much more expensive than money!" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head. Since it was a gift from Chu Junfeng, it shouldn't be a fake.

Moreover, this general jar has a lip, a short neck, full shoulders, restrained under the shoulders, a flat bottom with round feet, and a white glaze on the bottom.The top of the cover is a pearl-shaped button.Cowpea red glaze is applied on the surface, the glaze color is uniform, the red is as bright as clouds, and it is decorated with sparse moss spots, and the thickness is suitable.It does look like the real thing, too.

However, when Chu Chen took the general jar in his hand, his eyes became a little strange.This made Chu Junfeng on the side feel a little strange when he saw it. Could it be that there is still something wrong with this general jar?It shouldn't be possible for someone else to ask you to do something and give yourself a fake gadget?

Chu Chen looked carefully at the inside and outside of the jar, and finally heaved a sigh of regret.

With this appearance, Chu Junfeng immediately knew that he really encountered such a mess, which made him very annoyed, and immediately wanted to settle the score with the person who gave it.However, he was not the kind of reckless person. Before he took action, he asked first: "Sir, is this fake?"

"It's done so well, it's a high imitation!" Chu Chen replied.

"M.D., I'll call that grandson to settle the score!" Chu Junfeng was furious when he heard this: "The matter was done for him, but he actually did it for me, I'm so mad!"

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, and was going to scold the gift giver first.

However, before he got on the phone just now, Chu Chen stopped him: "Second brother, think about it first, does the person you mentioned really dare to lie to you?"

"This..." Chu Junfeng thought for a while, and felt that even if the other party wanted to lie to him, he didn't have the courage. There is really no need to buy a fake to deceive him.

Although the chance of the other party deceiving him is very small, seeing the jar in front of him, he was still quite angry: "Anyway, this thing must be fake, right?"

"Fakes are indeed fakes, but they can be faked to imitate the real one..." Chu Chen smiled and introduced the characteristics of this general jar to Chu Junfeng.

Cowpea red is a kind of copper red high-temperature glaze, which is a variety of copper red glaze that appeared in the late Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty.It is named for its light and pleasant color tone, uneven pink color, like red cowpea, and light and beautiful shape.And because of its bright red color, which looks like a child's face, and like peach blossoms in March, it is also called "baby face", "peach blossom slice" and "beauty drunk".

Due to the complicated firing process and low yield of cowpea red, the number of handed down is extremely rare.Rare things are valuable, even in the auctions of famous auction houses over the years, cowpea red may not appear, and even if it exists, it may not be from "this dynasty". The so-called "this dynasty" refers to the Kangxi Dynasty.
