The book " Ming and Qing Colored Porcelain " mainly introduced the four major types of colored porcelain, namely, five-colored porcelain, fighting porcelain, glazed porcelain, and rose porcelain.
China's colored porcelain had a long history of development. Like the Changsha kiln of the Tang Dynasty, the white glaze of the Northern Song Dynasty belonged to the embryonic stage of colored porcelain.
It did not become the mainstream of the ceramic market. The real mainstream period was in the Ming Dynasty, when colored porcelain had the ability to compete with blue and white.
Before this, they didn't have this ability. This had a lot to do with the cost of burning and the public's aesthetic.
The reason why Master Guan gave Su Ye this book was to let him start with the color porcelain first, and then slowly expand his knowledge.
From there, he became a collector.
After two tests, Su Ye had actually discovered something.
Judging from the first stage, Su Ye had to find an item that could reach the Ming Dynasty within a week.
This was actually a test of Su Ye's luck and wealth. If he wanted to enter the antique industry, he would not be able to go far without a certain amount of luck and capital. It could even be said that he was not qualified.
If you don't have money in your pocket, you won't be able to buy anything even if you see something good.
They could only watch the treasure slip away in front of their eyes. Moreover, it wasn't often that they picked up the treasure. However, any antique master would walk the path of picking up the treasure all their lives.
Only when they encountered a treasure that they were truly interested in would they choose to participate in the auction or even trade privately.
Otherwise, they would have to rely on their knowledge, eyesight, and luck to increase the number of their collections.
The second test was naturally based on Su Ye's memory and comprehension.
Master Guan only told Su Ye to read the book and memorize it within a week. Then, he would test him.
As for how it would be tested, he didn't say anything.
However, Su Ye knew one thing, and that was that it was definitely not as simple as just finding a passage from a book and asking Su Ye to memorize it.
Therefore, for the next week, Su Ye kept the book in his hand every day. He read the book, Ming and Qing Colored Porcelain, and memorized every word.
Even the number of times he spoke to Ran Qiuye at night had decreased significantly.
This caused Ran Qiuye to make all sorts of guesses. She even thought that she had done something wrong, causing Su Ye to become cold.
Only when Ran Qiuye asked did Su Ye explain with a smile.
He promised a senior that he would memorize this book within a week.
"What? A week?？”
Ran Qiuye exclaimed when she heard Su Ye's explanation.
Looking at the book in Su Ye's hand that was nearly half a finger thick, Ran Qiuye did not dare to imagine that he could really do it within a week.
However, this was Master Guan's test.
Then he would really not have the fate to be a master and disciple in this life.
Therefore, no matter what, Su Ye would try his best to do it.
Fortunately, with the help of the system, although there was no clear attribute value, Su Ye could clearly sense that every time he completed a mission issued by the system.
His five senses would become sharper. Although the change was not particularly obvious, he could still sense it after stacking it up.
Needless to say, his memory had become stronger.
Otherwise, Su Ye's culinary skills would not have been able to memorize all the recipes so quickly just by relying on the stream of consciousness teaching method of Shazhu's father, He Daqing.
Therefore, Su Ye knew that he could do it.
It was just that this week needed to be more compact.
However, at this critical moment, if he didn't give himself some pressure, would he regret it in the future?
"Autumn Leaf, I'm sorry. I've been trying to memorize this book as soon as possible this week, and I've neglected you.”
"How about this, as compensation, I'll tell you a story about a Floater.”
Su Ye put away the Ming and Qing Colored Porcelain and looked at Ran Qiuye apologetically.
"You don't have to be sorry. I didn't know you had such a mission. If I knew, I wouldn't have misunderstood you.”
"But, I want to hear the story!"
Ran Qiuye smiled sweetly.
Then, on the way back.
Su Ye's voice began to slowly ring out, telling the story of a little monster floating around.
"Once upon a time, there was a white wolf. He was a half-human, half-human, and he was born with a limp. He was not welcomed by the clan and was chased out. After being born, they did not have the intelligence of a human nor the strength of a demon.”
"He's silly and simple-minded. You can't do anything well."
"I'm starving. I came to the human world to work, but my salary was deducted by the unscrupulous landlord. I suffered all kinds of looks and hardships. In the end, the white wolf completely lost its confidence in life, and a desire to die arose in its heart.”
"That night, I wanted to come to the stone bridge outside the city and prepare to commit suicide by jumping into the river to understand my bitter fate.”
"He glanced at the moon in the sky and jumped down without hesitation.”
" Plop…With a splash, the white wolf closed his eyes. His consciousness began to become hazy. He seemed to have seen his mother's shadow.”
At this point, Su Ye paused.
Then, he looked at Ran Qiuye, who was listening attentively to him, and asked with a smile,""Guess, is the white wolf dead or not?”
"He shouldn't die. The white wolf was so pitiful. If it died, the heavens would be too unfair to him.”
Ran Qiuye thought for a moment and said sympathetically.
"That's right, the white wolf is indeed not dead. Not only did he not die, he was even saved by a beautiful girl like you.”
"This girl is very beautiful and has a very lively personality. After waking up the white wolf and dragging it to the shore, he asked.”
"After knowing the reason why the white wolf wanted to die, I told him that I wanted to invite him to bring me to play in the city for a day as a way to repay her for saving my life. It wouldn't be too late for the white wolf to die after a day.”
"Hearing the girl's words, the white wolf thought for a moment. In the end, he agreed. On this day, two figures appeared in the city. The girl was like a butterfly, shuttling through every corner of the city, leaving behind a bell-like laughter.”
"Looking at the girl's figure and listening to her laughter, at this moment, the white wolf suddenly realized that this world doesn't seem to be completely cold.”
"So, slowly, I started to play with girls. However, just as they were having the most fun, the son of a landlord in the city appeared and wanted to forcefully snatch the girl and bring her home.”
"The cowardly white wolf didn't hold back this time. Instead, it rushed up and pulled the girl out. Although its feet were lame, it still ran very fast. Looking at the white wolf protecting her, the girl felt very happy to be protected by someone at this moment. She smiled happily.”
" Soon, night fell quietly. The two of them returned to the stone bridge where they first met. Seeing the girl's actions for the day, the white wolf did not understand what she was doing. Whose girl was she? Why had he never seen her before?”
"In the end, the girl replied,'I'm doing what I want to do. After saying that, the girl suddenly smiled at the white wolf and said,"Let's get married."”
"Hearing this, the white wolf immediately waved his hand in a panic and said no. You still have to marry a good family in the future. How can you marry me? The white wolf felt that he was not worthy of the girl, so he rejected her firmly.”
"Then, the girl said that the book says that you should repay the favor of saving your life with your own body. Why can't I marry you?”
"The white wolf still refused. In the end, the girl said," Don't you want to die?" As long as you agree to marry me, I'll give you a poison that won't cause you any pain.”
"The white wolf, who had once committed suicide by jumping into the river, finally agreed after thinking for a long time. After that, they were married under the moonlight.”
"However, the girl didn't give the white wolf poison in the end. Instead, she told the white wolf to come here to get the medicine a year later on the grounds that it would take time to make the medicine.”
"The next day, when the white wolf woke up, the girl was missing. All that was left was the red silk that they had used to cover the girl's head during their wedding.”
"A year later, the white wolf came here as promised, but he didn't see the girl. Year after year, the white wolf waited for four years. In the end, he realized that there was no poison at all. It was just a white lie from the girl, hoping that the white wolf could live.”
"After that, the white wolf waited for another three years, but there was still no trace of the girl. He had also met a suitable person, started a family, and lived a happy life. However, that girl became his lifelong regret. Even so, the white wolf still did not give up looking for the girl. It was not until a woman named Tao Yao appeared that the white wolf received an answer.”
At this point, Su Ye and Ran Qiuye had already arrived at her house.
Su Ye stopped telling the story.
"What's the answer?" Ran Qiuye urged.”
"If you want to know where that girl went, I'll tell you the answer when we meet tomorrow.”
Su Ye said with a sly smile.
Ran Qiuye's interest had already been piqued, so how could she give up so easily?
"Aiya, hurry up and tell me. I'm so anxious.”
"Let me give you a hint. There is a worm in the world. When it is young, it hides underwater. When it becomes an adult, it comes out of the water and lives and dies. With the essence of the sun and moon, you can become a demon by chance. You are young and beautiful, intelligent and clever, and know everything.”
After listening to Su Ye's hint, or rather, his answer.
The intelligent Ran Qiuye instantly understood everything.
Her eyes were misty, and tears could not help but fall.
"Wuuu…"
"The Floater is so pitiful, and so is the white wolf. People who love each other can't be together."
He heard Ran Qiuye's cries.
Su Ye could only softly say,"Ask what love is in the world, it's just to teach people to be willing to die." Since ancient times, love was the most touching thing. I don't want you to be like a Floater, and I won't become a white wolf. Alright, stop crying. If I continue to cry, I will become an ugly duckling. If others see me later, they will think that I am a hooligan. If they arrest me again, I will die unjustly.”
"Hmph, you big bad guy. You deserve to be arrested. Who asked you to tell me such a sad story?”
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm a big bad guy. I was wrong. Little ancestor, quickly withdraw your divine power. I'm convinced.”
Su Ye could only coax Ran Qiuye again.
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you, you big bad guy. I'm going home!”
After Ran Qiuye finished speaking, she wiped her tears and turned to walk out of the house.
When she was about to enter the building, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Su Ye, saying,""Are there really Floaters in this world?"
"Yes!"
Su Ye nodded and answered with certainty.
Upon hearing this answer, Ran Qiuye instantly smiled. She was as beautiful as a summer flower.
"Good night, Su Ye!"
"I like this story very much. Thank you!!”
After saying that, Ran Qiuye turned around and disappeared into the apartment building.
Seeing Ran Qiuye's figure disappear, Su Ye turned around and returned to the courtyard house.
