Chapter 64: Fourth Brother Playing in the Mud
Brother Si now admits it.
This so-called system of rejuvenating the country through science and education is a bit interesting.
Like an elaborate game.
Give you a task that can be exchanged for precious rewards.
Check in regularly every day, and you will also drop gift packages to explode task prompts.
The first location, Ruzhou, Henan, is probably the former Ruguan kiln site.
This is considered a score question.
The Ming Dynasty's "Yan Xianqing Appreciation Notes" records: The porcelain of Ru Kiln's official kiln is azure, pink and blue is the most popular, and sky blue is extremely precious.
The products produced by Ru kiln are already rare, and among the less than a hundred finished products, there are only a handful of sky blue glazes.
There is only one piece of sky blue glaze with engraved flowers, which is truly a unique and unique treasure.
Is this sky blue glaze engraved gooseneck bottle a secret code, or does it really exist?
After Yinzhen calmed down, he glanced at the person beside his pillow, gently moved the jade jade of little Fujin from his belly, stood up and called someone: "Come here. Let Mr. Dai come over."
Su Peisheng worked carefully. When he knew that he had to move the box of books, he also notified Mr. Dai to come to Tong'an Huangzhuang with him.
During these days, Mr. Dai read through many Song books, and he knew the intention of the fourth prince.
Dai Yi, who put on his long robe and came without saying a word, said, "Greetings to you. But is there any new news?"
Yinzhen: "Mr. Dai, please get up, that's right. I would like to ask Mr. Dai to go to Baofeng, Ruzhou. This sachet will relieve your worries."
He handed the written sachet to Dai Yi.
Dai Yi was puzzled at first as to why the fourth prince suddenly started researching imitation Song Ru porcelain when he was attracting attention all over the city.
Seeing his confusion, Wu Sidao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Mr. Dai, don't you think this Ruci is serious?"
"Your porcelain is the first porcelain of the Song Dynasty, so it is naturally valuable. I dare not look down upon it. It's just that now the fourth elder brother should put economic practice first, not the path of flowers and birds."
"Mr. Dai, how did you know that your porcelain is not economical? Everyone says that Si Fujin helped develop cowpox, and Si Age inherited his good fortune. But why did she develop cowpox after she married into the royal family?"
When Dai Yi heard this, he thought that Si Age and Si Fujin were probably playing a big game together.
And this imitation of Song Dynasty Ru porcelain is an important part at present.
Fourth Brother’s trust is more important than his.
Dai Yi couldn't figure out the reason because of his lack of personal ability.
As a counselor, as long as he follows carefully, he can always unravel his master's thoughts.
Dai Yi: "Xiaosheng will set off immediately."
"Sir, you are a great talent. I feel relieved to leave it to you. But time is tight, so I hope you will work hard."
"You should do your best to live up to your master's trust."
Watching the man in green shirt disappear into the night, Yinzhen returned to his desk and picked up the Ru porcelain sample paper he had drawn earlier.
The sky-blue Ru porcelain has a green and lustrous color, the glaze is fat and bright, like piles of fat, looks like jasper, the sound of the button is like sweet, and the texture is very good.
When will the picture he drew turn into a real Ru Ci, in his hands for him to play with?
*
Lin Da, who lives next door to Wang Ermazi's house, has noticed something very wrong with his neighbor recently.
Wang Ermazi, who was handcuffed by nature, an orphan, with little land and poverty, was the focus of Zhuangzi's steward Zhang.
Lin Da's land is next door to his, and there are many children at home, but he is no better than Wang Er.
But because the Lin family has had Wang Er for comparison for a long time, the tenant farmers in Zhuangzi all think that Lin Da is not bad and the land is well cultivated.
Lin Da relied on the sense of superiority gained from comparing Wang Er Mazi to pay more and more attention to his neighbors.
Usually, as soon as the early rice is harvested, Wang Er's land will be immediately abandoned.
But these days, Wang Er is buried in the ground before dawn every day. When asked what he was doing, he only said that he was doing whatever he wanted.
The strangest thing is that the weeds in Wang Er's field a few days ago were all gone when he woke up one day.
A few days later, Wang Er actually brought a cow.
Lin Da thought something was wrong, so he carried a small piece of fat and went to Wang Er's door at night.
Wang Er didn't hide it from him either.
The neighbors murmured, and Lin Da also began to bury his head in the ground the next day.
Several tenant farmers looked at it and sat under the big tree and laughed: "Lin Da, why are you messing around with Wang Er? I'm afraid you are going backwards."
Wang Er and Lin Da ignored them.
Lin Da was afraid that Wang Er would turn around and borrowed the tools from others.
Wang Er is waiting for those who wish to take the bait.
His home is remote and far away, and the cattle can still hide at this moment.
After the cow has rested, he can pull it out for a walk, and he won't be afraid that these people won't rush to ask him.
But Wang Er's plan has not yet started. These days, the new master, Si Age and his wife have begun to run away all day long.
The first person to come was Brother Si. He put on a gray gown and stood on the ridge of the field, asking people to dig here and look there.
Finally, the noble man wore a hat, tied the corners of his gown, and got down to the ground himself.
The next night, Si Fujin also changed into a simple Hanfu, but she didn't go to the ground in person, she just looked around Wang Er's pockmarked ground.
They also asked people to measure here and compare there.
When Sifu Jinyi appeared, Si Age quickly came to her side.
He insisted on putting the hat on her head.
Si Fujin smiled and refused to accept it, and asked someone to bring him a white curtain hat.
The couple was talking and laughing on the edge of the field.
After Sifujin left, more people came to Wang Ermazi's house with gifts in hand.
More and more tenant farmers are busy weeding, ridging and draining their fields.
Gradually, Si Fujin was no longer seen.
But that gray figure is still lingering in the fields.
Brother Si didn't care about the tenant farmers' eyes. He was studying various common soil qualities.
The azure glaze color of Ru porcelain is a composite glaze color, which is made from Ruzhou's local natural mineral glaze containing multiple elements, the legendary agate.
After being fired at high temperature, the azure comes out of the fire after rain. When encountering uncontrollable factors such as kiln deformation, the colors of different shades are produced, which is the orthodox "azure color".
It is this kind of artificial + accidental that makes it extremely difficult to imitate Ru porcelain.
Dai Yi rushed to Ruzhou, but the news returned was not satisfactory.
Ruzhou, Henan is easy to find, but Baofeng County is an old name. The first step is to verify the location of Baofeng.
Secondly, there are many old kiln sites in Ruzhou, so identifying the types of broken porcelain pieces is not a trivial matter in itself.
Dai Yi had already opened the sachet and was eager to make a breakthrough from the second channel.
Yinzhen is anxious.
As a prince, he cannot leave the capital at will and cannot go to the local area to verify the authenticity.
The more anxious you are, the more you won't be able to sit still in the house. You might as well study the difference in soil quality outside.
Yinzhen doesn't care whether he faces the loess or his back to the sky.
It was just an eyeliner hidden in Tong'an Imperial Manor, and the note sent back read: "The fourth prince is playing in the mud in Tong'an for a few days."
The person who got the news opened the note and smiled at first: "The fourth prince is so close to the people, he should let the common people know about it."
