Chapter 158 Arriving at the manor, a greeting gift of blue and white porcelain!
After looking for a long time, Chen Lu chose a blue and white porcelain.
After all, foreigners are very obsessed with porcelain. Even the name for China is homophonic with porcelain, which shows how much they love it.
The history of porcelain is also quite long.
From the Yangshao culture to the present, it has a history of 5,000 years.
Primitive blue light appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but true light instruments did not appear until the Eastern Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago.
Long before Europe learned the technology of making lights, China was already able to produce quite exquisite light instruments.
In the Song Dynasty, China's porcelain production reached a peak.
There are five famous kilns in total, namely Junmi, Ru Kiln, Guanmi Ding Kiln and Gemi.
The five famous kilns officially ushered in the porcelain era of firing practical and ornamental utensils. Before the Song Dynasty, most of China's practical and ornamental utensils were pottery.
There are also some other small kilns that produce very distinctive porcelain that is loved by people all over the world.
In addition to the two major porcelain systems of blue and white, black glaze, blue-and-white glaze and painted porcelain also emerged, and these porcelains were transported by water to all parts of the world.
At that time, foreigners' impression of China was its exquisite porcelain, so they called China by the English name of porcelain.
Chen Lu chose a piece of porcelain with excellent quality. If it were taken to an auction, it could easily be sold for millions of dollars.
It can be used as a meeting gift.
More importantly, even if you have money you may not be able to buy it.
Because there are many factors that affect the color of porcelain, in order to make a perfect porcelain, different body and glaze materials, firing temperature, firing time, firing atmosphere, etc. will all affect the color of the porcelain.
In ancient times, porcelain fired in official kilns was exclusively for the imperial family.
They will definitely be made with great care, and both the materials and craftsmen will be of the best choice.
But most of those exquisite porcelains have been lost in the long river of history.
However, modern-day porcelain has long lost its attributes as a precious item.
Porcelain fired in Jingdezhen can even be wholesaled in piles, which shows how valuable it is.
It can only fool ignorant foreigners.
Soon, the car arrived at the manor.
It is said that Mr. Pu has five manors in Mo City, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.
But from a distance, this manor is indeed very luxurious.
Under the azure blue sky, a majestic and magnificent luxurious manor stands quietly, as if it is a perfect blend of nature and artificial art.
The gate of the manor is made of heavy bronze and carved with intricate and exquisite patterns, and every line exudes a classical charm.
The door lintel is inlaid with sparkling gems, which sparkle in the sunlight.
"Honey, I'm going to meet my mom and dad soon."
Chen Lu took a deep breath: "I'm ready."
He was still a little nervous, not only because the other party was the president of a country, but also because he was his future father-in-law.
A son-in-law will always be a little nervous when he meets his father-in-law for the first time.
Anna smiled, took Chen Lu's hand and walked in together.
The guards saluted Anna and opened the door respectfully, while constantly looking at Chen Lu.
After all, this was the first time Anna brought back a male friend.
"Who is this person?"
"How should I know? He should be the princess' boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend? But he looks like an East Asian."
"I didn't expect that the princess would fall in love with an East Asian."
Anna coughed twice, and the whispering guards immediately shut up and stood straight.
"Go tell my father and tell him I brought my boyfriend home."
"Report to Your Highness, the Emperor is already waiting in the manor!"
"I understand." Anna took Chen Lu's hand and walked towards the big house in the center of the manor.
[This manor covers at least 3,000 square meters, right? It's so luxurious! ]
[We really can’t imagine the happiness of rich people! ]
[Brother Chen must have saved the world in his previous life, right? He was able to date a super rich woman like Her Royal Highness the Princess! ]
[When will Brother Chen share his experience and teach the brothers? ]
[You should go to bed soon, you can dream about anything! ]
The manor is full of lush green trees.
Carefully selected and cultivated precious plants are placed on both sides of the road, the winding paths are paved with smooth stone slabs, and stone sculptures and fountains of various shapes are placed on both sides. The gurgling sound of water adds a bit of vitality to this quiet manor.
The architectural style of the manor is unique, combining classical solemnity and elegance with modern simplicity and fashion. The tall columns, exquisite carvings and glittering glass windows complement each other.
In the center is a magnificent fountain square. The fountain is several meters high and the water splashes everywhere, like a silver flower blooming in the air.
The fountain is surrounded by exquisite sculptures, which are obviously the work of masters.
It is worthy of being the emperor's manor, it is really magnificent.
The two walked forward and came to the big house.
President Pu is waiting at the door.
Although he is seventy years old, there is no sign of time leaving any trace on him.
Stand straight, as tall as a bamboo.
I’ve only seen it on TV before, and this is the first time I’ve seen it up close.
Although he was considered an old man in terms of age, he could feel a sense of oppression that only came with experiencing many vicissitudes of life. After all, he was the last KGB and a well-deserved tough guy.
"father!"
Anna ran over and hugged President Pu.
"Well, we have guests."
Anna stuck out her tongue shyly and took Chen Lu's hand: "Let me introduce him to you. He is my boyfriend..."
Before he finished speaking, President Putin had already extended his hand.
"Hello, Chen Lu, right?"
He always had a faint smile on his face, but the feeling of oppression never went away.
Chen Lu knew that as the president, he must have investigated him in advance.
At the very least, it was considered as tacit approval of his relationship with Anna.
that's the truth.
The reason why he agreed to Anna and Chen Lu's relationship was that, on the one hand, China was becoming increasingly powerful, and the two countries would have more and more cooperation in the future.
On the other hand, he was quite satisfied with Chen Lu, who was very much like himself when he was young.
Although according to the information, his background is very ordinary.
But he always felt that Chen Lu was different.
"Hello sir, I'm Anna's boyfriend Chen Lu."
The two shook hands, each using some strength to make the other feel their friendliness and respect.
"Please come in. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
[As expected of President Pu, the pressure from him is too strong! ]
[Nonsense, he is the last KGB, what didn’t he experience when he was young? ]
[I feel like I can hardly breathe.]
[I didn't expect Brother Chen to be able to handle it so well. He has a really good mental state! ]
