Chapter 569
Lao Zhou finally chose five pieces of jade, all made of Hetian jade seeds.

Three of them are handle pieces weighing more than [-] grams: a "Zhong Kui Exorcism" made of Huangqin white jade, an autumn pear skin dragon turtle cut out of aniseed material, and a dragon in the only seed mansion; and A high-white four six nothing incident card, and a pendant with blessings from Buddha.

These five pieces, according to the price on the label, totaled 14.

Brother Hao said, "You may not believe me. The total price is 14 yuan, and I only made less than 1 yuan. This is because they are all high-end goods. I will increase the price on the basis of the price; I made a few hundred yuan a piece.”

"Boss Hao, you are gagging us!" Lao Zhou responded.

Brother Hao waved his hand, "Let's count 14! Because Boss Yu bought a big one today. Don't cut it down at this price."

"Okay, that's it." Lao Zhou was also very happy, because he took these goods back, even if he posted them in the circle of friends, it would not be difficult to sell them, and the profit could be doubled if he resold them.

But Pu Jie brought over a delicate white gold bracelet inlaid with jadeite.A bracelet is inlaid with a total of five high ice-green adzuki peas, and there is a small diamond on each side of the clasp, making the whole look jewel-like.

Obviously, this is a lady's bracelet; Yu Yao looked at it and said, "I'm going, are you... so cheap?"

"Don't think about it, it's a gift for my mother! She likes jadeite, but she is not willing to spend money. She wears a string of round beads and jadeite bracelets on her wrist. The water planting is very ordinary. I bought it from another place, and she said it was leaked, so she won't give it up." You'll think I'm wasting money and blaming me." Pu Jie replied.

When Brother Hao heard it, "Oh brother, I'm ashamed to take money from you when you say that."

Pu Jie giggled, "I don't believe you when you say you don't make money! But I think the price is not bad, so let's count as much discount as you can get!"

Brother Hao quoted the price, and Pu Jie also bought it on the spot.

Later, Brother Hao proposed that he be the host at noon, but all three declined.Brother Hao reluctantly refused to come, and finally sent them away.

If it weren't for Yu Yao's big leak, the three of them might have sat with Brother Hao; because of this big leak, if they sat down to eat with Brother Hao, they wouldn't be able to chat.

The three of them went back to the hotel first, and when they arrived at Yu Yao's room, Pu Jie and Lao Zhou both continued to appreciate the incense burner.

Pu Jie and Lao Zhou asked questions while watching; Yu Yao explained accordingly.

Jun kiln began in Tang Dynasty, prevailed in Song Dynasty, originated in the Central Plains, and developed a huge northern kiln system.The Jun kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty was divided into official Jun and Min Jun, and it stopped burning during the Jingkang Rebellion; it was restored in the Jin Dynasty and continued to develop in the Yuan Dynasty.

The standard of Jun kilns in the Yuan Dynasty was originally incomparable with that of the Northern Song Dynasty, but some high-quality products appeared from time to time, among which the "self-made" incense burner in the Xiao Song Dynasty is the most typical representative.

"Who is this 'Xiao Song'?" Old Zhou asked after listening to Yu Yao's detailed explanation of the "Xiao Song's self-made" incense burner.

The "Xiao Song Self-made" incense burner was unearthed and then displayed in the museum. It is also the largest, most complete, and highest-level ancient Jun kiln incense burner discovered in China.Of course, there are not many incense burners in the Jun kiln.

"That's right, Xiao Song's level is so high, why did he find such a deposit before?" Pu Jie asked.

"This is actually a mystery." Yu Yao lowered his head and lit a cigarette, "There has never been a conclusive and generally accepted statement."

"Damn it!" Pu Jie shouted, "You're making me feel bad!"

Yu Yao smiled, "However, there is an unofficial statement, do you want to hear it?"

"Your uncle! Is it interesting to be so appetizing?"

But Lao Zhou smiled and said, "It's because he didn't finish talking, so you have to interrupt in a hurry."

Yu Yao spoke directly, "According to Unofficial History, this 'Xiao Song' is not because his surname is Song; this 'self-made' is not reserved for his own use..."

In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, many kilns were destroyed due to the chaos of war, and there were fewer and fewer high-level Jun kiln craftsmen.Xiao Song's father was a highly skilled Jun kiln craftsman.

Later, Xiao Song's father was confiscated by the Yuan army and became a craftsman household. The young Xiao Song followed his father into the craftsman's register; the so-called craftsman's register means that you have to be engaged in handicrafts all the time, and your father's business has been passed down from generation to generation, and you can no longer do it. Nothing else.

Xiao Song has won his father's true biography and is also very talented. He has grown up step by step, and the level of Jun Kiln porcelain is getting higher and higher.In particular, the control of kiln changes has become more and more sophisticated.

Xiao Song gradually became famous, but his status as a craftsman was low. Many people didn't know his surname. They only knew that he was a follower of the Southern Song Dynasty, so they used to call him Xiao Song.

After Xiao Song was called too much, he simply called himself "Xiao Song".

The kiln glaze color of Jun kiln was very popular in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. At the same time, the high-level Jun kiln porcelain was of high value.The territory of the Yuan Dynasty was huge, and trade between Asia and Europe was facilitated. Many porcelains, including the Jun kiln, sold well in Europe.

At this time, Kublai Khan’s great-grandson, Huaining Wang Haishan, gathered a group of skilled craftsmen to make porcelain for him and sell it to Europe.

Among them, there is Xiao Song.

Xiao Song's skills are outstanding, and the Jun porcelain he fired is very popular among European businessmen, and he has made countless profits; at the same time, King Huaining also likes it very much, so he pays more and more attention to Xiao Song.

In 1307, King Haishan of Huaining ascended the throne and became one of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, known as Yuan Wuzong.

At this time, Xiao Song, because of his deep belief in Buddhism, had the idea of ​​becoming a monk.However, don't say that you can't become a monk if you become a craftsman, even Yuan Wuzong would not agree with Xiao Song to let go of firing Jun kiln porcelain.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Song had no choice but to fire porcelain for many temples with the acquiescence of Yuan Wuzong.

In 1308, a large temple was rebuilt; after that, Xiao Song spent a year working hard to burn an incense burner for the temple.

On September 1309, [-], the incense burner was fired.This incense burner was the most satisfying piece of Jun kiln porcelain fired by Xiao Song; therefore, he carved the inscription on the Jun porcelain he fired for the first time:

On the fifteenth day of the ninth month of the Jiyou year, Xiao Song made an incense burner himself.

The ones fired for temples have to be engraved with "self-made", because Xiao Song's devotion to Buddhism in his heart is self-evident.

After the incense burner was fired, Xiao Song disappeared.This is also one of the reasons why he did not leave his real name in history.

After Xiao Song left, Yuan Wuzong's psychology was more complicated, of course he would be angry, and even more deeply regretted.

Emperor Wuzong of the Yuan Dynasty lamented: After Xiao Song left, the magic skills of Jun porcelain will never be seen again!

In the 70s, this "Xiao Song Self-made" incense burner was unearthed, and then entered the museum display.

"In the year of Jiyou, Xiao Song retired from the world after burning this incense burner, but you bought this one in the second year of Gengxu, does that make sense?" Pu Jie couldn't help asking.

Yu Yao raised his hand to touch the incense burner, "Not only does it make sense, but it also proves that it is the real thing, and it is absolutely impossible to be a counterfeit!"
