Enter the Room

Yuan Yunzhong is a person who hates others making noise in front of him.

But at this time, Shao Qing talked a lot about Song Jiyun in front of him, but he didn't even scold Shao Qing.

Shao Qing felt that their master looked very cold towards Miss Song, but in fact he was quite caring.

He frowned and said to Yuan Yunzhong worriedly: "Master, Wan Xiaoquan wants Miss Song to deliver the goods ten days in advance. Do you think Miss Song will be unable to deliver the goods because of this?"

Song Jiyun never fights an uncertain battle.

Since she agreed, there must be a solution.

But after this thought flashed through Yuan Yunzhong's mind, he suddenly remembered that day at Zhaojiaji, when the bright moonlight shone on the window lattice of the shabby room, and her knuckles, which were like frost and snow, were faintly green.

He hesitated for a moment.

Shao Qing looked at "Hehe" and laughed, walked over, and said eagerly: "Master, how about we help Miss Song keep an eye on Wan Xiaoquan?"

Yuan Yunzhong looked at him and sneered, "Are you out of business?"

Shao Qing grew up next to him, and when he saw him like this, he knew that he was not really angry.

He snickered secretly and said hurriedly: "Then let's leave it alone."

Yuan Yunzhong glanced at him faintly from the corner of his eye.

Shao Qing was startled and immediately said seriously: "Then I will send someone to keep an eye on Wan Xiaoquan."

Yuan Yunzhong felt pain in his chest and didn't want to talk to him for more than a word. He simply changed the subject and got down to business: "I asked you to check the Zhaojiaji. Did you find anything?"

Zhaojiaji is the village where Yuan Yunzhong and Song Jiyun got lost.

Shao Qing hurriedly said: "We've found out. Zhaojiaji was the name given by those people themselves. It was originally called Hongjiashan. Most of the people living there fled from Zaozhuang, Shandong in the early years. These people were originally Working as a kiln worker in various kiln factories, because I have no skills, the wages are not high.

"Later, a man named Zhao Ji learned the art of firing porcelain, so he gathered fellow villagers and opened a wild kiln there. The porcelain he fired was also sold exclusively to Shandong. The business was pretty good."

Yuan Yunzhong pondered: "In other words, they are not only gangsters, but also occupy private property?"

Shao Qing was still very serious when talking about business, and said: "I sent people to inquire. The surrounding mountains and forests for dozens of miles are all the ancestral property of the Hong family in Liang County. The Hong family has a big business and only sent one clan member to help. To take care of these mountains and forests. Zhao Ji roped in this clan member to form a partnership, so that the people of Zhaojiaji can live peacefully on the top of the Hong family hill for so many years."

Yuan Yunzhong said: "What is the situation of the Hong family?"

Shao Qing said: "Mr. Hong only had one son. Unfortunately, this son died of illness at a young age, leaving behind two young masters. The eldest master Hong Xi and the youngest master Hong Zhao were sent to Suzhou Prefecture to study at a young age. You won’t be able to come back even once in three or five years. This will allow others to take advantage of it.”

Yuan Yunzhong thought: "Is this the Hong family that lives at the end of the street from Miss Song's house?"

Shao Qing nodded and said, "Although the Hong family does not live in Liang County, half of the land in Liang County belongs to their family. Their family has the largest pawnshop, the largest grain and oil store, the largest grocery store in Liang County... It seems that except for porcelain, their family is involved in every business.”

Yuan Yunzhong was a little surprised and said: "It seems that the Zhaojiaji who burns wild kilns is not easy! The most profitable business in Jingdezhen is porcelain. The Hong family does all kinds of business, but not porcelain. But the wild kiln is in their In the mountain col under my family’s name. To say this is a coincidence would be too much of a coincidence.”

He told Shao Qing: "Go and check the character of the tribesman who showed the mountains and forests to the Hong family? What is his relationship with the Hong family?"

Shao Qing has always admired Yuan Yunzhong and followed his words as a guide.

He eagerly said: "I will send someone to investigate right now. In three or five days at most, the Hong family can be investigated thoroughly. I don't believe it. That Ye Kiln has nothing to do with their family? Maybe you and Song The fact that the young lady is being chased is the result of the Hong family’s secret manipulations!”

In the afternoon, when Yuan Yunzhong and Song Jiyun left the kiln together, he stood beside the mule cart and couldn't help but secretly look at Miss Song again and again.

Song Jiyun was talking to Luo Zixing and the others. The glances that fell on her from time to time made her have to turn around and glance at Shao Qing in confusion.

Shao Qing hurriedly showed her a harmless smile.

Just as Song Jiyun had finished what he needed to say, he said goodbye to Luo Zixing and walked over.

Shao Qing rushed over to help Song Jiyun get into the car.

But Zheng Quan glared at him.

Shao Qing changed the string in the middle of the hurry and said: "Miss Song, what are you holding in your hand? I'll hold it for you."

Song Jiyun was holding something medium in size, like a wine jar.

"No need!" Song Jiyun handed the things to Zheng Quan and said with a smile, "I brought some glaze back from the kiln."

Shao Qing walked down the steps and said "Oh", watching Zheng Quan help Song Jiuyun onto the mule cart, and quickly ran back to the mule cart where Yuan Yunzhong was sitting, muttering: "Why are you bringing so much glaze back? "

Yuan Yunzhong lifted the car curtain with his hand.

In another car, Zheng Quan was also asking: "What are you doing with so much glaze?"

Song Jiyun did not answer, but said: "Do you know which grocery store in Suzhou and Hangzhou has the most complete range of goods?"

"What do you want to buy?" Zheng Quan held the reins firmly and said, "The grocery stores in Suzhou and Hangzhou are generally quite complete. But each has its own characteristics. For example, there are many from Fujian and Guangdong. Weird things. People who come from the north can usually buy good furs."

Song Jiuyun rarely went out for shopping after he was ten years old. He did not expect Suzhou and Hangzhou to be so prosperous.

It seems that I will go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to visit if I have the chance.

She said: "I want to buy some Sinan."

It's the compass.

Not to mention its use, very few people know about it.

Zheng Quan thought for a while and said, "You really need to ask someone about this."

Then he gave her an idea: "The Hong's grocery store often travels to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Instead of sending people to buy there, it's better to invite the big shopkeepers of the Hong's grocery store to come over and ask them to help bring some back."

Song Jiyun was very happy to hear this and said, "Invite him over when you get back."

Zheng Quan agreed.

When I got home, I saw the third room saying goodbye to Mrs. Zeng at the door.

Song Jiyun's face turned cold.

Leave sooner or later, just when she comes back!

She said to Zheng Quan: "No need to stop, just go directly."

She didn't get the letter in advance, so how did she know that their family was leaving Liang County at this time.

Zheng Quan raised his whip and the mule cart passed by Song Sanliang's house.

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth with hatred and asked Mrs. Zeng again with tears in her eyes: "Mother-in-law, are you really not going back to the countryside with us?"

Before Mrs. Zeng could say anything, Song Sanliang, who was lying in the mule cart, said: "What nonsense are you talking about? In the countryside, there is not even a serious doctor. When we go back and settle down, we can take my mother to live there for a few days." .”

"I know you are filial!" Mrs. Zeng watched Song Jiuyun's mule cart passing by with cold eyes, and said bitterly, "I can't leave! Once I leave, if you return to the city one day, you won't even have a place to stay. "

Mrs. Li hugged her mother-in-law and cried loudly.
