You Fang's grandfather is elegant yet handsome, while Grandma Mo Sigu was also a local beauty when she was young. According to educated people, she is tough yet wild in beauty. You Fang seems to have inherited the excellent genes in the family.
Although he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he looks very delicate and even a bit elegant. When he wears clothes, his physical appearance is not particularly strong, but he looks very well-proportioned and tall.
My sister You Chengyuan seems to have inherited the bad side of her family inheritance. She definitely has some "wildness", but she can't talk about "beauty". She has a good figure, and is 1.75 meters tall. The key is appearance and description.
Ugly people are usually said to scare children into tears, but looking at You Chengyuan coldly can scare children so much that they dare not cry! - According to You Fang's recollection, when his sister didn't go out, there were almost no mice in the house.
The girl's parents grew up like this, which became a worry for her parents. Although they didn't say it in person, they secretly worried about how their daughter could get married in the future. Before You Fang's grandfather passed away, the most regretful thing was that he didn't see his granddaughter getting married.
You Chengyuan's hands didn't close her eyes for a long time. Ordinary men would look down on a girl with such "characteristics", and it was really rare for a man to like her, which made You Fang's mother very worried.
But things went beyond everyone's expectations. You Chengyuan married a good man - a golden turtle son-in-law who was impeccable in every aspect!
You Fang's brother-in-law is called Chi Muduo. His uncle once said: "This guy's name is interesting. Three of the five elements account for three elements. In the middle, there is life and restraint. Things in the world are so wonderful. It's true that one thing descends on another. He
Why did you fall in love with Yuanyuan?"
Chi Muduo is very fair and 1.82 meters tall. He wears glasses and looks polite. From his demeanor and conversation, it is obvious that he has been well-educated since childhood. He has a high degree of education. He graduated with a doctorate from the School of Archeology and Museology of Peking University. His mentor is You Fang
Later, I made friends with Mr. Wu Pingtong.
Chi Muduo was born in a branch of a big family. Chi's business group is very large, but his parents have no status in the family group. Chi Muduo has not been popular since he was a child. His cousins all like to show off in front of him.
What kind of valuable collections are there in the family? The side branch who despises a small family like him has never seen it and doesn't understand it.
Perhaps because he was unconvinced or his curiosity was aroused, Chi Muduo chose to major in archeology as an adult and received the best formal education in this field. When he met You Chengyuan, his parents were no longer alive, and the inheritance he inherited was
The shares in the family business will receive a considerable dividend every year, which is enough to live without worries.
Chi Muduo himself does not have any dandy habits. After graduation, he worked at the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, and often participated in the excavation work of grassroots archaeological teams. He loved his career very much. Such a young man has almost no conditions in all aspects.
I am picky, maybe because of my work. I am almost 30 years old but I have never had a date. I just fell in love with You Chengyuan and started a subtle but passionate pursuit.
Chi Muduo first met You Chengyuan at an archaeological excavation site on the outskirts of Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province. It was in 2004. At that time, Jingdezhen discovered the ruins of a waste porcelain pit from an official kiln in the Ming Dynasty, which was hundreds of years ago.
The garbage pit where the ancient official kilns dumped defective products has now become a good thing. Many professionals from various places have been recruited to conduct inspections and excavations, and Chi Muduo is among them.
This incident also caused a small sensation. Many people in the circle went to Jingdezhen for various reasons, hoping to receive such utensils from the people in the countryside. Damaged porcelain pieces are also a kind of collectibles, and there are many
Antiquities dealers also forge high-end ancient porcelain by piecing together broken pieces of ancient porcelain and gluing them together. The cleverness of the technique is difficult for ordinary experts to spot, because some of the raw materials used are themselves genuine.
You Chengyuan was working and studying in a craft ceramics factory in Jingdezhen at the time. Hearing the news, he also went to the countryside to watch the excitement. There were many people watching the field. The excavation team had already dug it, and several archaeological team members were taking out pieces of broken porcelain and recording their numbers.
Yellow cords were also pulled, and officers from the local police station maintained order.
You Chengyuan strode into the crowd of onlookers and glanced around. The crowd who "see the truth" immediately moved out of the way with horrified expressions. She calmly walked to the front of the yellow warning rope. It happened to be that Chi
Mu Duo happened to walk up from the exploration pit wearing gloves and holding a plate. He wanted to go around You Chengyuan and go to the temporary tent set up aside.
Chi Muduo was very happy to find a complete piece of porcelain in this pit. Perhaps the supervisors hundreds of years ago were negligent and did not find that there was an unbroken plate among the pile of broken porcelain pieces. Archaeologists
My eyesight is usually very accurate. The precise diameter of this plate is about 18 centimeters. There are twenty-eight radial chrysanthemum petal patterns on the edge. The center of the plate is slightly sunken. The arc wall circle is complete. There is an inscription from the Hongzhi Year of the Ming Dynasty on the bottom.
.
This was a major discovery. Chi Muduo was extremely excited. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw You Chengyuan staring at him with his eyes wide open. Suddenly, Chi Muduo mistakenly thought that he had arrived in Dunhuang. He saw the Yaksha on the mural in broad daylight and was so startled that he jumped.
My hands trembled and I couldn't hold the plate. Although the ground under my feet was mud, it was already very solid, and the Hongzhi white porcelain was extremely thin. If it really fell to the ground, it would inevitably break into pieces.
This plate was left in ruins hundreds of years ago. Unexpectedly, it had just seen the light of day, and in the blink of an eye, it encountered this disaster again. What bad luck! It was so late, but so fast, all I could see was a blur in front of my eyes, and the "Yaksha" had already disappeared from the scene with a single step.
He got under the yellow rope and grabbed the plate firmly the moment it was about to hit the ground. Then he stood up and handed it to Chi Muduo and said, "Have it. For those who play porcelain, the plate must be steady and your hands must be accurate."
Chi Muduo was already petrified, and he was speechless and did not answer immediately. When he saw You Chengyuan, Chi Muduo was not afraid but just surprised. As soon as the plate came out of his hand, he immediately realized that something was not good. There was a buzz in his head, and it was too late to save him.
Unexpectedly, she was saved from a desperate situation. The woman's movements were so nimble. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of her and caught the plate. She didn't even see how she got through the rope?
Looking at Chi Muduo's silly look, You Chengyuan couldn't help but smile. This smile made the policeman who was walking not far away feel a chill in his heart. Chi Muduo felt very friendly, because the other party had just saved the plate and did not give it to him.
He left great regrets in his archaeological career.
Just listen to You Chengyuan laugh and say: "This is a typical Hongzhi white porcelain. The body is thin and the glaze is greasy. It is easy to deform and warp during firing. It is not easy to form a plate. The rim and sole of this plate are not deformed, but the side glaze
The surface is a little uneven, which is the most important thing about white porcelain, and two of the chrysanthemum patterns are slightly wider, which makes them look uncoordinated if you look closely."
You Chengyuan is ugly, but his voice is very pleasant, like the nightingale singing in the valley, which is absolutely gentle and sweet.
Just as he came to his senses and wiped his cold sweat, he took the plate and was about to say thank you. Chi Muduo was stunned again, not because of You Chengyuan's voice, but because of what she said. He was still wondering just now. This plate was in the eyes of archaeologists.
There is nothing wrong with it, so how could it be mixed up in the waste porcelain pit? I was about to take it back to a colleague to study it carefully, but at this moment, You Chengyuan said it. This also shows the strict standards for selecting artifacts in the royal official kilns of the Ming Dynasty.
You Chengyuan just glanced at it, and the plate fell down and she caught it in her hand. In just a few seconds, without even turning over the inscription on the bottom of the plate, she had already accurately dated the porcelain, and also explained why it appeared.
The reason for being in the waste porcelain pit, this vision and insight are so admirable that Chi Muduo feels inferior to him!
At this time, the policeman who was maintaining order came over and said to You Chengyuan: "What's going on? Get back outside the yellow warning line!"
You Chengyuan didn't say anything, and ducked out of the yellow rope in a flash. Chi Muduo, however, became anxious and quickly explained: "Comrade police, it's nothing, she is a colleague." He then begged You Chengyuan: "Don't leave.
Wait for me for a while, okay?" Then he carefully entered the tent holding the plate.
You Chengyuan thought that this person was silly and a bit amusing. He was here to watch the fun anyway and was not in a hurry to leave, so he waited by the yellow rope. There was not much time, and he saw Chi Muduo struggling to hold a large piece of thick ceramic tiles away.
He came over and was followed by two colleagues, both holding the same porcelain pieces in their hands. They should be fragments of a dragon vat, with blue and white glaze dragon patterns on the surface.
"This young lady, please do me a favor and see if this dragon vat was accidentally broken, or if it has any defects and was deliberately thrown here?" Chi Muduo greeted You Chengyuan again shyly.
It turned out that the archaeological team found several fragments in the same place in the waste porcelain pit, which could be assembled into a complete dragon vat. After the initial restoration of the artifact, a group of people could not find any faults, no matter in terms of glaze, texture, shape, etc.
In terms of decoration and other aspects, it is quite satisfactory and should not be discarded. It was not easy to bake such a perfect large piece of porcelain in ancient times. Some people at the scene speculated that it was accidentally broken back then, and some people thought that it must have something unknown to modern people.
The shortcomings have been debated for a long time with no conclusion.
You Chengyuan crossed the rope and leaned down to look at several pieces of porcelain carefully. He smiled slightly and pointed at the half of the dragon body on the glaze of the porcelain piece in Chi Muduo's hand and said: "There is a small problem, the painter is wrong!"
Ordinary painterly errors, such as painting a five-clawed dragon instead of a four-clawed dragon, or the point and direction are asymmetrical, the dragon's two eyes are not looking in the same direction, etc., can be discovered by ordinary archaeologists. But they may not be proficient in craftsmanship.
In art, there are some very professional details that cannot be noticed. For example, in a meticulous painting, can you tell the order of each stroke of the artist's strokes and know what the correct order is?
The problem with this dragon vat is that there are several parts of the dragon scales on the dragon's body where you can tell that the order of the painter's strokes is wrong. The arc of the front brush strokes exactly presses the edge of the back brush strokes when drawing the dragon scales, making it look like tiles stacked on top of each other.
There are no flaws. However, there are some dragon scales on this dragon vat that were brought out a little when I was writing. If you look carefully at the edge of the scales that should be pressed underneath, there is a small part that is slightly drawn into the scales above.
It may be because the painter did not strictly follow the order of painting. This small flaw is not obvious. If it is an ordinary utensil, there is nothing wrong with it. However, as a royal dragon vat, it does not meet the requirements and must be broken and discarded.
of!
After listening to You Chengyuan's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that there are some inconspicuous tips in the collection and appraisal world that may be simple to tell, but difficult to understand without telling you. This is why some people spend a lot of time identifying a fake, while others
You can see why at a glance.
You Chengyuan had a good impression of Chi Muduo at first sight, so he told him without any secret. Everyone expressed their gratitude to You Chengyuan. Some people exclaimed: "The craftsmanship requirements of the official kilns were really strict at that time. I don't know the painter who painted this dragon vat."
Whatever punishment you receive, it must not be lenient!" Someone answered: "Of course, otherwise, would the porcelain from the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties be so expensive?"
At this time, an older archaeological team member said politely to You Chengyuan: "What's your name? You are an expert in this field. If you have time, can you come in and help us look at some more things."
You Chengyuan got what he wanted, so he followed Chi Muduo and others into the excavation and cleaning site. This is how they got to know each other. After seeing You Chengyuan's portrait too many times, he got used to it, and archaeologists are very courageous and have seen everything.
I forgot to mention one thing. Chi Muduo's doctoral thesis was devoted to the study of Loulan ancient corpses.
At first, this group of cultural relic workers were somewhat suspicious of You Chengyuan, suspecting that she was a cultural relic dealer. Although archaeological excavation and antique appreciation have similar knowledge, they are also different after all. Each has its own professional knowledge in appraisal. Archaeologists are suspicious of cultural relic dealers.
The impression is not good. These people are cheating and abducting people while walking around the streets, and they will also promote the growth of tomb robbing in some places.
After the conversation, Chi Muduo learned that You Chengyuan worked in a local ceramic craft factory and was not a dealer in cultural relics. He had a good impression of her for a while. As the exchange deepened, the two of them had a lot in common, and Chi Muduo had a lot of common interests.
Feeling like each other and regretting meeting each other late.
The next day was Monday. You Chengyuan had to go to work and did not come to the excavation site. Unexpectedly, after dinner, Chi Muduo rushed back to the city. After asking around, he found You Chengyuan's single dormitory in the craft factory and wanted to talk to her at night by light. A young man ran alone at night.
If he lingers in the eldest girl's dormitory, he must be suspected of having evil intentions, but if the target is You Chengyuan, no one will suspect that he has evil intentions.
There are many common topics for exchange between Chi Muduo and You Chengyuan. Chi Muduo is from an academic school, received formal higher education, and has very solid professional theoretical knowledge. Compared with him, You Chengyuan is a typical Jianghu school.
You Jiaxue Yuan is well-informed in antiquities research, and the two of them together are a perfect match.
Chi Muduo was not a very talkative person, but he always had endless things to say in front of You Chengyuan. After the on-site excavation of the ancient kiln ruins was completed, Chi Muduo stayed in Jingdezhen on the pretext of assisting the local museum in organizing the work.
, I went to see You Chengyuan when I had time, and it seemed like I felt like something was missing after not seeing him for a day.
You Chengyuan didn't think much about it at first. She also liked to communicate with Chi Muduo, but after more than a month, she gradually realized that something was wrong. This young and promising handsome man was too enthusiastic about her, and it was obvious that he had
It exceeded the feelings between ordinary friends. But she hesitated and backed down, not daring to think about further development, feeling that it was a bit unlikely between the two of them.
At this time, Chi Muduo's employer repeatedly urged him to go back, and he finally packed up and left. You Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt inexplicably lost. He didn't want to stay here anymore, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. She was
The purpose of working in Jingdezhen was to learn local traditional crafts. I neither wanted to make money nor planned to stay long.
I thought that this relationship was over, like a stone thrown into the middle of a lake, the ripples slowly disappearing. Unexpectedly, on the first day of the new year, the first guest who came to Baimayi Youjia to pay New Year's greetings was a tall, handsome, and elegant young man.
The man, carrying a valuable gift, claimed to be Chi Muduo, a researcher at the Henan Provincial Institute of Archeology. He had heard You Chengyuan mention You Zuming in Jingdezhen, and came here specifically to visit this folk craft master. He had many professional questions to ask.
The You family is full of people, and you can tell at a glance who Chi Muduo is here for. From grandma Mo Sigu to younger brother You Fang, they were all alarmed. They showed great enthusiasm for the visitors, welcoming them into the home and entertaining them.
They chatted about family life and were extremely affectionate. Sigu Mo even burned several sticks of incense to Tai Shigong, the founder of the clan, secretly.
You Chengyuan didn't know how to face this distinguished guest who came to her door. She was always evasive when meeting and talking. The relatives and friends of You's family were anxious and took turns in private to persuade her to catch this man. If she missed it, it would be a shame for the people and the people.
The party is sorry for the society, the government is sorry for the founder, and the villagers are sorry.
