"How much do you know about your father's master?"
At the same time, Mr. Qian asked softly: "Has your father told you about his master?"
"No." Yao Jing hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "My father only told me that the teacher who taught him how to make porcelain was named Hewei, but he didn't say much else."
"It's normal, because there are some things that he can't tell you." Qian Lao sighed softly: "Speaking of which, your father is the true successor of Hewei. And in order to protect your father, he even cruelly expelled him from the school. , so that everyone ignored him."
"What's the meaning?"
Yao Jing was even more confused, while Wang Guan and Yu Feibai became thoughtful.
"That was more than twenty years ago."
Mr. Qian fell into memories and said softly: "At that time, there was a man named Mr. Zhu Da in the antique business. The antique porcelain he produced was very powerful. Not only could it look fake, but few people could even spot the flaws"
"This person is your father's master Hewei. Due to a moment of greed, he embarked on a road of no return."
As he spoke, Mr. Qian sighed: "But before the incident happened, he seemed to realize that this was wrong, and he also arranged a way out. This way out is your father."
"My father?" Yao Jing's face changed slightly, quite unnaturally.
"Well, that's your father." Mr. Qian nodded: "Since last year, Mr. Zhu Da's works have reappeared on the market, but it has aroused everyone's suspicion and panic. The first reaction is that there was something that slipped through the net more than 20 years ago. The existence of fish."
"But the case back then was handled with no leaks. Everyone carefully investigated and found nothing at all. Maybe the so-called fish that slipped through the net was just wishful thinking on our part."
At this time, Mr. Qian sighed: "It wasn't until not long ago that we discovered the whereabouts of your cousin and learned your father's name from his mouth. After that, we re-checked the files at that time and finally found out. Your father¡¯s relationship with Hervey.¡±
For a moment, Yao Jing was a little nervous: "You mean, my father was also involved in that incident?"
"Maybe there is, maybe there is not." Mr. Qian answered ambiguously, and then he explained softly under the confused gazes of everyone: "With clear clues, it is naturally easier to investigate. It is to look for information again. It is After asking those who were involved in the case, we finally know the answer.¡±
"It turns out that your father was the technical backbone of the kiln factory back then, and was even one of Hewei's apprentices. But two years before Mr. Zhu Da's case, for some unknown reason, Hewei was offended. He was fired without mercy. Leaving the factory severed the relationship between master and apprentice.¡±
Speaking of this, Mr. Qian was very emotional: "We calculated and found that that time happened to be the time when Mr. Zhu Da's work was exposed, which aroused the vigilance of experts in the industry."
In an instant, everyone understood what Mr. Qian meant, or that Hewei had fired Yao Yuan. and reasons for severing ties. The reason is to protect this apprentice, who has inherited his craftsmanship.
In traditional industries, the master-apprentice relationship is definitely not as weak as in modern industries. It can be described as being like a teacher or a father. Perhaps Hewei also knew in his heart that using fake things as real things to seek personal gain would definitely not last long, so he also arranged a back-up plan.
certainly. This back-up man doesn't expect him to help with revenge, revenge on society or anything like that. But I hope that this craft can continue to be passed down without any gaps.
¡°Obviously, Hewei did not miscalculate. After the Dongchuang incident, he decisively committed suicide. Although Mr. Qian and others were sad and sad, they brought a group of accomplices to justice, but they did not dig deeper, so they naturally ignored Yao Yuan.
As for Yao Yuan, he also knows right from wrong. Knowing what happened to Hewei, he can't blame others. Naturally, he will not have any thoughts of revenge. Instead, he seriously studied Mr. Zhu Da's technology and mastered the ultimate secret of antique porcelain. However, he always had a problem in his heart, so he copied many rare and famous porcelains, but it was just for his own entertainment, and he never meant to show off.
Until his death three years ago, if it weren't for Meng Jian's greed that allowed Mr. Zhu Da's works to reappear, I'm afraid no one would have known that there was also a master of antiques that shocked the ancient world.
Everyone agreed with Mr. Qian¡¯s conclusion, and felt a little sad in their hearts. In their view, Mr. Zhu Da's craftsmanship is not terrible, but the human heart is terrible. People's hearts are not enough and their desires are hard to satisfy, which naturally leads to many troubles.
"This is real?"
At this time, Yao Jing¡¯s expression was very complicated, ranging from shock to confusion: ¡°Father never told me.¡±
"He doesn't?, I just don¡¯t want you to carry the baggage of the past. "
While speaking, Qian Laoci smiled and said: "Obviously, you have inherited Mr. Zhu Da's skills, but due to lack of experience, you are still far behind."
"Um."
Yao Jing nodded gently, without any intention of denying it.
At the same time, Wang Guan's eyes lit up, but he thought of the bottle he saw on Mr. Su's birthday. The bottle has Mr. Zhu Da's mark on it, but the flaws are very obvious. At that time, he was still guessing how Mr. Zhu Da could make such a stupid mistake. Now it seems that it was not "Mr. Zhu Da" who made a mistake, but Yao Jing's lack of experience and his failure to fully master the technique.
So sometimes, Yao Jing will make semi-finished products with obvious flaws like the birthday peach vase, but sometimes, he can also make exquisite products like the Yongle Blue and White Ribbon Bird Plate.
"Your skills need to be improved."
At this time, Mr. Qian suddenly asked: "Do you want to see the notes left by your ancestor?"
"What?"
For a moment, not only Yao Jing, but also Yu Feibai and others were quite confused. However, Wang Guan became thoughtful and felt that Mr. Qian was planning to abduct the little girl.
"Your father only took away Mr. Zhu Da's core technology back then. He certainly couldn't take away all the relevant auxiliary information, so it took him more than ten or twenty years to master the essence of the technology. "
At this time, Mr. Qian explained: "But before your ancestor passed away, he gave us all the information, including his experience and experience in the industry for decades. If you read these information, it must be within five years. You can definitely master these techniques and become the youngest antique master."
"As expected" Wang Guan nodded lightly and understood what Mr. Qian was thinking.
The so-called nip in the bud, now that Yao Jing has mastered Mr. Zhu Da¡¯s skills, there is no guarantee that he will become a new generation of Mr. Zhu Da. In order to prevent future troubles, "recruitment" is the best way.
"No!"
However, unexpectedly, Yao Jing refused: "I don't want to be an antique master."
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Yao Jing said domineeringly: "There is no future for imitating antiques. I hope to innovate and create my own porcelain kiln like Tang Ying, and the porcelain fired will be labeled with my own label."
"ah!"
At this moment, everyone was very surprised and surprised. They did not expect that the little girl who looked weak and quiet on the outside had such a big ambition, or dream, hidden in her heart.
Thinking about it carefully, it is understandable that Yao Jing takes Tang Ying as an example. After all, Tang Ying also started his career by imitating antiques, but he did not simply imitate antiques, but innovated while imitating them. On the basis of antiques, various new varieties are constantly developed. In this way, the porcelain he created and fired was loved by the world, and it was named Tang Kiln.
Think about it, during the time when Tang Ying was the potter of the porcelain capital, there were countless kilns and workshops in the porcelain capital, but later generations almost ignored these kilns and workshops, and only remembered one Tang kiln. Because in everyone's impression, only the porcelain made under the supervision of Tang Ying was the fine and famous porcelain at that time. The other porcelain was dispensable and there is no need to remember it.
However, Mr. Qian was even more surprised by Yao Jing's ambition. After all, she is just imitating the past, and sooner or later she will follow the old path of Mr. Zhu Da, but it is different when she wants to innovate, which shows that she has the idea of ????breaking through limitations, and naturally she will not repeat the same mistakes.
Of course, just having an idea is not enough, and further guidance is needed.
"It's a good thing to innovate"
At the right time, Mr. Qian said with a smile: "But you have to admit that Tang Ying's success is not only due to his talent, but also to the contribution of the master of the porcelain capital kiln. Back then, in order to learn the craft of porcelain firing, he directly put down his body and worked with the kiln. The factory masters ate and lived together, communicated and learned from each other, and achieved the achievements that everyone admired."
"Working behind closed doors will have no future."
While speaking, Mr. Qian turned around and said, "Wang Guan, help me dial Brother Hou's number."
"Well?"
Wang Guan was a little confused, but he still did it.
After a while, the call was connected. Mr. Qian took the call and whispered a few words, then hung up directly. After a while, a text message suddenly came over.
However, Mr. Qian didn't look at it. Instead, he handed it to Yao Jing and motioned for her to look at it alone.
Yao Jing was of course a little confused, but she still opened the text message. At first glance, her expression changed, full of surprise, joy, and some disbelief: "are these real?"
"Of course." Mr. Qian chuckled and nodded: "If you don't believe it, you can go see it for yourself.actually. "
"what is this?"
At the right time, Yu Feibai felt a little itchy and wanted to get closer and take a closer look. But Yao Jing put her phone away and said solemnly: "If this is true, of course I'm going to take a look."
"good."
Mr. Qian nodded with a warm smile on his face: "Someone will come in two days to formally invite you to go."
"Um."
Yao Jing looked forward to it, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Old man, my cousin"
"Your cousin is very good."
Mr. Qian smiled and said harmoniously: "However, since you have done something wrong, you must receive a certain lesson. Don't worry, we will not make it difficult for him. As long as he is willing to repent, he will be able to come out soon."
With Mr. Qian¡¯s words as an end, Mr. Zhu Da¡¯s affairs can be considered to have come to a successful conclusion.
In addition, after staying in Kaifeng for half a day, Wang Guan and others also returned to the capital. Their moods were different, but everyone felt much more relaxed and relieved
