Chapter 394 Naming the Child
The couple's plan was in full swing when Huang Li called.
"Yingchun, the teacher asked me to ask you something."
"Recently, the Department of Archeology of Beijing University excavated an ancient tomb, which contained a damaged phoenix crown. I want to restore it to its original appearance. Can you help?"
Xiao Yingchun was stunned: "I don't study cultural relic restoration, why would you think of me?"
Huang Li explained.
It turns out that the recent sales of Chunxiao's "Gongzhuang" series of ancient jewelry have also attracted the attention of teachers majoring in cultural relic restoration.
Not to mention the material, the key point is that many of this ancient craftsmanship have been lost.
As for the "Gongzhuang" series of ancient jewelry, you can tell at a glance that they are made using ancient methods.
This kind of craftsmanship is at the level of a master craftsman even if it is placed in a cultural relic restoration unit.
The old professors also knew that it was unethical to poach someone else's work, so they didn't dare to ask for a loan. They only asked if they could help with repairs.
Xiao Yingchun is very honest: "It depends on what the thing looks like."
"It's still possible to do it as it is. If you want to repair a black thing... I'm sorry."
"Our master can't do this."
She has also watched videos of cultural relic restoration. At first, it looked like jewelry. It's just a black unknown object.
Huang Li understood: There are craftsmen, but masters can't just make something out of nothing.
He left Xiao Yingchun, "I'll make it clear to the other party, see what the other party's situation is, and then communicate with you" and hung up the phone.
Not long after, Huang Li called again, and this time he sent a picture.
The picture is a painting in which a woman wearing a complicated crown is walking forward surrounded by a group of people.
At the same time, the epitaph also specifically mentioned this crown.
It turned out that this was the tomb of a queen from a short-lived dynasty.
The phoenix crown worn by the queen was designed and made by the emperor himself.
Because it is a token of love, the special features of the phoenix crown are specially recorded.
In addition to the huge pearls and gems on the phoenix crown, there are also several exquisitely crafted phoenixes that can tremble with the owner's movements.
Like a true phoenix fluttering its wings and ready to fly.
The material proportion, weight, and workmanship of various components are very technical.
Huang Li: "Professors from Beijing University said that if this crown can be repaired, in addition to the required material costs, they are willing to pay an additional 500,000 in process costs."
When Xiao Yingchun saw the pictures and videos, he knew: the historical value of this thing is far greater than the value of the thing itself.
It's not about money at all.
If this thing can be done, it will be a contribution to the country, and it will also be a great publicity opportunity for Chunxiao’s ancient jewelry.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask the masters to take a look."
"If the master can do it, I will tell you..."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yingchun sent the picture and Huang Li's explanation to Fu Chenan.
Fu Chenan looked at the pictures on the tablet: "I'll take it back and ask the old craftsmen in the palace."
Fu Chenan came back not long after, and he recorded a video for Xiao Yingchun to watch.
In the video, the old craftsman in the palace is explaining the pictures while shaking his head.
They explained the manufacturing process and things needed to repair the phoenix crown very clearly...
In short: you can make another one that is almost the same.
But if you want to repair it, it will take more than three times more time and effort than making a new one.
Xiao Yingchun understood: From an economic point of view, Chunxiao was losing money.
The best craftsmen are gone to restore cultural relics, which will slow down the delivery progress of ancient jewelry.
But this was something at the national level—Xiao Yingchun still agreed.
The professor of cultural relic restoration at Peking University suddenly became excited and wanted to sign a contract with Xiao Yingchun immediately.
For this kind of thing, she asked the other party to find Tang Siqiong.
Within two days, a tightly wrapped box was delivered by Lu Qianhua.
Tang Siqiong didn't dare to take it himself - this was dug out of the mausoleum and soaked in corpse water.
How dare she touch a pregnant woman?
What to do if you have nightmares?
Xiao Yingchun didn't dare to touch it. She asked Lu Qianhua to put the things on the table, and after he left, she turned around and gave them to Fu Chenan.
The prince who was killing people on the battlefield took his things and went to find the craftsman...
In the East Palace, as soon as the matter was explained, Fu Zhonghai asked someone to call him over.
Fu Chenan didn't know until he went there that it was for the purpose of naming the child.
Fu Zhonghai said: It is easy for children to grow up with nicknames, just call them cats or dogs.
Fu Chenan quickly rejected it: "If Yingying knows that you gave her this name, she will be angry!"
The dolls of that era were called toffee, pudding, mango, strawberry, which sounded sweet.
Are you just talking about "cats, cats and dogs" here?
Fu Zhonghai blinked: "What's that called? Xiaoer? Xiaosan?"
The boss is Ao Chengji.
Fu Chenan was so sweaty: Mistress?
Xiao Yingchun would beat herself to death if she heard her giving her child a nickname like this.
"How about we call them Wangwang and Miaomiao? Are they homophones to cat and dog? We are the royal family now..."
He is no longer the butcher selling pork in Stone Lane.
Fu Zhonghai's eyes lit up: "This is good."
"It sounds loud and easy to remember, and the meaning is good."
Fu Chenan wiped his sweat: That's because you are too down-to-earth.
After returning to Wolong Villa, Fu Chenan told the story of his father's name with trepidation.
Xiao Yingchun was actually very satisfied.
"Wangwang Miaomiao is doing well. I hope they will be healthy and grow up safely in the future."
Grandpa’s best wishes...
As for the names, my son’s name is Fu Chengxu and my daughter’s name is Fu Chengyue.
The sun and the moon shine brightly, which is also Emperor Tianwu's best wishes for his grandchildren.
Tang Siqiong was shocked when she heard the names and nicknames of the two children.
"The big name is okay, the nickname - what do you think?"
"You actually call such a cute doll such a name?"
The names chosen by the Xiao family are all of the same origin - Tu.
Xiao Yingchun laughed dryly but said nothing.
The cry of a little milk baby came from next door. Judging from the loudness, it was Brother Wangwang.
The confinement sister-in-law brought the baby over, and Xiao Yingchun lifted up her clothes in a familiar way and breast-fed brother Wangwang.
The little guy eats a lot. Even after finishing the meal, it is not enough. He hums and says "I want more".
However, based on the principle of fairness, Xiao Yingchun asked the confinement sister-in-law to carry the little guy down and add some milk powder.
Wangwang was not happy, he pulled his neck and groaned until his face turned red.
Fortunately, the confinement sister-in-law was well prepared, and the bottle was placed in his mouth in time, and the little guy immediately started eating again.
Sister Miaomiao was carried over, just in time to eat the other side.
She has a small appetite and is full after eating, so she doesn't need to add milk powder.
The little girl has a gentle and calm temperament. When feeding, she is used to holding the rice bowl with both hands and staring at her mother's face without blinking.
Xiao Yingchun couldn't help but poke her in the face.
After being poked a few times, the little girl couldn't help but forget about the business and grinned.
And then—milk leaked!
Seeing that her clothes and chin were soaked, Xiao Yingchun hurriedly slapped her.
"Eat well and don't talk until you are full."
As expected, little Miaomiao was obedient and continued to nurse.
The child sucked milk with all his strength, was covered in sweat while eating, and fell asleep while eating.
Fu Chenan looked full of surprise.
This was also the first time he knew: This is how women breastfeed...
