Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 364 What is Jingxiu
"You stinky boy, I usually tell you to read more books, but you don't listen to it, right?!" Chu Ying stared at her little apprentice with hatred, wishing she could step forward and hit him twice with her own hands. "Although there are many embroidery schools in our country, each kind of embroidery has very unique characteristics and techniques. People who know how to do it can almost tell them apart at a glance. This picture of Beijing embroidery has been in front of you for so long, don't you still Didn't you see anything?!"

Meng Dongyue, who was scolded bloody, didn't dare to speak out, shrank his neck, and stayed in the corner of the sofa aggrieved.

Chu Ning looked amused, and persuaded: "Dad, don't be too strict with Brother Meng. The antique industry is already extensive and profound. Many people spend their entire lives, but they can't understand this industry thoroughly. Brother Meng is still young and Smart, just teach it slowly."

Chu Yinglue's mood improved a lot, and he gave Meng Dongyue a weak look and said, "Look at your junior sister, and then look at you! If you are as sensible as your junior sister, do I still need to worry about you?!"

Meng Dongyue nodded incessantly, he was as good as a little milk dog.

Chu Ning held back her laughter until her stomach ached.

Seeing that the master didn't seem to be staring at him anymore, Meng Dongyue gave Chu Ning a resentful look.

Little junior sister, born from the same root, why rush each other!

Chu Ning looked up at the ceiling, pretending that she didn't see anything.

Meng Dongyue's eyes became more resentful.

Chu Yinglue didn't see the flirting between his young apprentice and his daughter. He was looking at the embroidery picture in front of him seriously, and patiently explained to Meng Dongyue: "Beijing embroidery was the most prosperous in the Qing Dynasty, and it was almost exclusively for the court. Serving, so its characteristics are also obvious. The color of the embroidery thread of Jingxiu is very bright, and it is very similar to the pastel and enamel colors in the popular porcelain at that time. This alone has already distinguished it from other embroidery schools Come on. As long as you look at this embroidery picture carefully, you can definitely see this point.

"In addition, the materials used in Beijing embroidery are also very sophisticated, and the most important thing is the preciousness of the materials. In order to produce a perfect piece of Beijing embroidery, the masters of Beijing embroidery have always ignored the cost and only paid attention to the luxury and wealth. materials to choose from.”

Meng Dongyue was still a little ignorant, but Chu Ning had already reacted: "Dad, what is the origin of the fabric used in this embroidery picture?"

"You didn't see that?" Chu Yinglue stared at Chu Ning this time, "This is silk!"

Meng Dongyue was secretly happy.

Little Junior Sister is unlucky to be with me!
Tsk tsk, even if it's unlucky, the feeling of being with someone is still very refreshing!
"Of course I know it's silk!" Facing her father who was in a state of being a strict teacher, Chu Ning was not as guilty as Meng Dongyue, "But I have seen silk on the market, and there is nothing like this!"

"Hey!" Chu Ying sighed slightly, "Silly girl, most of the silk sold on the market today is produced by mechanization. How can it be compared with the ancient times? Besides, this piece of silk is not good even in ancient times. Ordinary things, I'm afraid they were tributes at that time!"

Chu Ning and Meng Dongyue were both startled.

Things that can be used as tributes are the top-notch existences among similar items, not only valuable, but also very rare!

If the piece of silk in front of them was really a tribute, even without the exquisite embroidery on it, it would still be something people would flock to!
Chu Yinglue stroked the embroidery pattern lightly, and even her voice was a little softer than before: "The most famous thing about Beijing embroidery is the luxury of the material. The silk used for embroidery alone was definitely the best silk and satin at that time."

The best satin, of course, must be matched with the best embroidery.

"It is said that the embroidery thread used in Beijing embroidery is not only made of silk, but also a lot of gold and silver thread mixed in." Chu Ying smiled slightly, "I can't see the silk, but the gold and silver thread is still very good. I admit it. If you are interested, you can come and look for it, and see how much gold and silver thread is in the embroidery thread."

When Chu Ning and Meng Dongyue heard this, they were really interested.

Meng Dongyue lay down in front of the embroidery pattern, carefully observing the ratio of gold and silver threads in the embroidery thread, but Chu Ning didn't have to bother.

As long as she swiped with her spiritual power, she could determine the proportions of different components in the embroidery thread.

What's more, even if you don't need to look closely, this embroidery picture looks golden from a distance, and you can tell at a glance that the proportion of gold and silver threads is absolutely indispensable.

After a closer look, Chu Ning found that these gold and silver threads were mainly concentrated on the headgear and clothing of the characters in the picture, as well as some decorations on the pavilions.

"Hey, Dad, this embroidery is really in the style of Beijing embroidery!" Chu Ning said suddenly.

Meng Dongyue rolled his eyes and said: "Little sister, the master just said that this is Jingxiu, and now you say that again, isn't this an afterthought?!"

"Stinky boy, do you know what an afterthought is?!" Chu Yinglue slapped Meng Dongyue on the back of the head. It sounded loud, but it didn't take much effort at all.

Meng Dongyue was wronged again.

Master, this is too partial to the little junior sister!
However, who made them the father and daughter?

Meng Dongyue sighed in his heart, and decided that when the master was present in the future, he must not confront the little junior sister like this!

Chu Ning looked at Meng Dongyue with a smile, but she couldn't hide the pride in her eyes.

She is backed by her father, how about it? !

Chu Yinglue looked at her daughter tenderly, and said, "Chu Chu, do you know what the style of Beijing embroidery is?"

"Of course I know!" Speaking of business, Chu Ning's expression became a bit more serious, "The embroidery techniques of Jingxiu, except for the well-known sprinkled thread embroidery, flat gold, and beaded embroidery, generally use gold embroidery first. The silver thread is coiled into a pattern, and then fixed with silk embroidery thread. This embroidery method, also known as pan gold, is unique in other embroidery schools, and it can be said to be unique, especially rich and gorgeous. The picture uses the Panjin technique!"

Chu Ying slightly raised her eyebrows.

Seeing her daughter's eloquent talk, it was obvious that she knew much more about Jingxiu than he had imagined.

She has not been by her side these years, and has no one to teach her, but she has such a deep understanding of antiques and even embroidery!

If it weren't for the hard work day after day, it would be absolutely impossible to do this.

If his apprentice can be so diligent in learning antiques, he must be gratified.But when it was his daughter, Chu Yinglue felt a little distressed.

Chu Ning saw the emotion in her father's eyes, afraid that her father was thinking too much, and hurriedly continued: "Dad, look at every character in this embroidery, their headwear styles, and clothes patterns, all contain auspicious wishes. It means that there is no difference compared with the shape of a real person. Is this the one in Beijing embroidery, the picture must be intentional, and the pattern must be auspicious?"
