Enter the Room

Song Jiyun was shocked.

She looked up and saw Eunuch Wan's furious face.

"Open the kiln!" He sneered, "In two hours? Are you sure you can deliver?"

Song Jiyun understood instantly.

During this period, rumors about the Song Kiln Factory were flying everywhere.

No clay material was purchased; the kiln workers left; the first kiln she took charge of as owner only produced five finished products; the Hong family came to the rescue in times of need and finally sent a few pieces of clay material to their family, but they could not deliver the goods from the kiln factory. It’s been five days…

Eunuch Wan heard the rumors and thinks she can't deliver the goods? Or did someone say something in his ear?

She calmly stepped forward, bent her knees and saluted Eunuch Wan, and said: "Sir, nothing can be done without faith, and business cannot prosper without faith. My father often taught us sisters these few words before he was alive. Since I have inherited what my father left behind, Since I own my property, I should also abide by my father’s teachings. Don’t worry, the kiln factory will definitely deliver the goods before midnight tonight!”

Eunuch Wan obviously didn't believe it and said aggressively: "What if I can't deliver the goods?"

"I will let you handle it!" Song Jiyun said resolutely.

Eunuch Wan looked at Song Jiyun in surprise, slowly leaned on the back of the Grand Master's chair, and said, "Do you know what will happen if you can't deliver the goods?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, before Song Jiyun could speak, Xiao Qi from the Wei Suo who came with him came in and announced, "Sir, Miss Song's uncle Song Daliang wants to see you!"

Song Jiuyun was stunned.

Eunuch Wan glanced at Song Jiyun with great interest and told the little flag: "Let him come in!"

Song Daliang walked in with a general's belly, following the small flag.

"Lord Wan!" He knelt down on the ground with a plop, gave a great gift to Eunuch Wan, and said, "Little Song Daliang. I heard that my eldest niece failed to burn the white porcelain for sacrifice within the agreed time. I’m here specifically to rescue my eldest niece.”

Song Jiuyun could not hide his surprise.

The governor of Tao is the fifth grade.

His rank is higher than that of ordinary county magistrates.

She never knew that her uncle had such courage.

She looked towards Eunuch Wan.

But Eunuch Wan raised his eyebrows, asked Song Daliang to stand up, and said with great interest: "How are you going to rescue your eldest niece?"

Song Daliang looked serious and said: "Sir, my second brother passed away suddenly. My niece is still young and wants to prove that she can take charge of the property left by my second brother. It is inevitable that she will be eager for success and a little impatient..."

He first slandered Song Jiuyun with something in his words, and then said: "I happen to have a small kiln, and the kiln master's skills are pretty good. The secret recipe for sacrificial white porcelain is not a secret in our Song family, so I tried to bake it. One kiln, fortunately, it was fired. I thought, she can't deliver the goods here, so please give me a favor and let me help her deliver the goods."

Song Jiyun's face sank when he heard this, and he said sternly: "Uncle, when did I fail to deliver the goods? When did the recipe for sacrificial white porcelain become a secret known to everyone in the Song family? And that sacrificial white porcelain, you said burning it Is it burned when it comes out? In front of Master Wan, what can and cannot be said? As an elder, you have to think carefully and don't make a joke!"

Song Daliang didn't even look at Song Jiyun. He cupped his hands towards Eunuch Wan and said, "What you say is unfounded, but what you see is proof. Sir, please allow me to call in my entourage!"

Eunuch Wan said casually: "Then call people in!"

Song Daliang's two followers were both people who had run away from Song Jiyun's kiln. Each came in with a wenge wood brocade box made of red lacquer and gold. When they saw Song Jiuyun, they both lowered their eyelids uncomfortably before standing in front of Eunuch Wan.

Song Daliang opened the brocade box himself: "Sir, look!"

The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on the brocade box.

Inside the bright red camphor velvet, lie a pair of white porcelain bladder-style plum vases.

The plum vase has a beautiful shape, is elegant and clean, and is slightly shiny like ivory.

This is exactly the characteristic of the white porcelain offered by the Song family.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and some even whispered: "How could this happen?"

Song Daliang glanced at everyone with his head held high, and gave one of the plum vases to Eunuch Wan: "These are one of the pairs of plum vases I made. Take a look, are they good enough to meet the imperial standard?"

Eunuch Wan picked it up, looked at it, and praised: "Not bad! I didn't expect you could also make porcelain!"

Song Daliang immediately said: "I am the elder brother, and it is not easy to compete with my younger brothers. If my eldest niece hadn't been such a worry, I wouldn't have been in the limelight!"

Eunuch Wan waved to Song Jiuyun and said, "Come and take a look too! Your uncle's craftsmanship is no worse than your father's!"

Song Jiyun looked at the two people singing and harmonizing, and there was something he didn't understand.

No wonder her uncle dared to blatantly compete with her for orders from the Royal Kiln Factory. It turned out that he already had the support of Eunuch Wan.

There was a flash of sharpness in her eyes, and she took the plum bottle.

The plum vase has a delicate glaze, which is even better than the sacrificial white porcelain produced when her father was still alive.

Experts who know the Song family's white porcelain will know at a glance that the craftsmanship has been improved.

That's why her uncle was so confident.

But how did her uncle do it?

Song Jiuyun became more and more confused as he watched.

When Song Daliang saw it, he couldn't hide his pride and said to her: "I know you want to inherit the family business. But there are some things that you can't achieve just by thinking about it. You have to have that kind of luck and ability. When it's time to accept your fate, just accept it. !”

He also turned around and smiled at Wan Gonggong: "Sir, do you want to go and see my kiln? Although my kiln is not as big as my eldest niece's kiln, my place is closer to Mount Zhushan and is lined with green trees. , the scenery is better. You also happened to tell us what kind of patterns we need to burn."

Eunuch Wan was very moved.

Song Jiyun said hurriedly: "Sir, our kiln will be out soon. Is it our family's white porcelain that is burned better, or my uncle's white porcelain that is burned better? There is no comparison, that is, my mother-in-law is right. , the public says what is reasonable.”

Eunuch Wan was unmoved and obviously favored Song Daliang.

Song Jiyun pointed at the mouth of the pair of plum vases and said: "Look, sir, the mouth here is square and has sharp curves. It looks fine at first glance, but when you look closely, it looks too craftsmanship and ruins it." The curve of this plum vase is missing. Either the master who set up the blank is not good at aesthetics, or the master who pulled the blank is not good at craftsmanship. The adults in the Imperial Manufacturing Supervision Office have seen a lot of good things, and I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the test if such porcelain is sent over. "

Eunuch Wan took a closer look and found that it was really like this.

He hesitated.

Song Daliang suddenly became anxious.

If Song Jiyun stops him at the last moment, he will never have such a good opportunity again!

He couldn't help but said loudly: "Song Jiyun, don't be picky. I can at least make white porcelain for sacrifice. What about you? Don't think that the Hong family just sent mud. What's the formula in the jade mud? Whether you have got it or not, you and I both know. I will leave it here today. If you can make better sacrificial white porcelain than my pair of plum vases, I will give you these pair of plum vases! "

Song Jiuyun disagreed: "What do I want from your plum vase? It's not a good thing!"

Song Daliang was eager to regain the favor of Eunuch Wan. His mind was buzzing and he said, "Do you dare to bet with me? If you can make better white porcelain for sacrifice than my pair of plum vases, I will give it to you in front of everyone." Kowtow three times! If you don’t get it fired, give me this kiln!"
