  Chapter 101

   Could it be that she heard wrong? !

  Song Jiyun murmured in his heart.

  She picked out a gourd bottle and asked him, "What do you think of this?"

  Yuan Yunzhong nodded.

  He was so straightforward, but Song Jiyun was a little uncertain.

  She looked at the remaining gourd bottles, hesitating whether to choose again.

  Yuan Yunzhong said impatiently: "That's all. It's just for the Hong family to see, it's not just using this to make porcelain."

   It seems that she is thinking too much.

  Song Jiyun smiled shyly, and said, "That's fine."

  Yuan Yunzhong pointed to several other gourd bottles: "Pick the best one."

  Song Jiyun really thinks the paintings are very good.

  Yuan Yunzhong's face darkened, and he said unhappily: "You are not prevaricating me, are you?"

   Song Jiyun had no choice but to choose the best from the best.

  Yuan Yunzhong, who has always been impatient, seemed to put away all the thorns all over his body suddenly. He not only accompanied her to pick a gourd bottle, but also commented "this leaf is dull" and "the color of this dogwood is a bit dull".

   Song Jiyun was secretly surprised.

  When Shao Qing came in with tea, he paused and walked over after a while, thinking: Why is this scene so familiar?

  Yuan Yunzhong saw Shao Qing, but told him: "Go and call a boy to come in and deliver something to the Hong family."

  Shao Qing responded and suddenly realized.

   Isn't this what he saw when he went to Hong's house to protect his son?

   It's just that it was Hong Xi who was chatting and laughing with Ms. Song at that time. Their son was standing by the window with deep and cold eyes. He was lying on the opposite eaves, and he could feel the cold air from his son, which was chilly.

   "Okay!" He answered absent-mindedly, but was stopped by Song Jiyun.

   "After all, the young master of the Hong family," she said to Yuan Yunzhong, "I think it's better to send someone who can talk to him! What do you think of Butler Wu?"

   "Can he be the master of the house?" Yuan Yunzhong refused without thinking, and said to Shao Qing, "Just call a boy in."

   It is Hong Xi's grandfather who makes the decision of the Hong family.

   "Okay!" Song Jiyun smiled embarrassingly, and waited for the boy called by Shao Qing to come in, told him a few words, then handed the brocade box containing the gourd bottle to the boy, and got up to leave.

  Yuan Yunzhong didn't keep her this time.

  She returned to her courtyard, Zheng Quan had already returned, and was waiting for her in the hall.

   "I never heard that Mr. Hong is a concubine." He whispered, "But it is true that he studied in Heshan Academy before and just took over the family business in June this year."

   Either the Hong family deliberately suppressed Hong Xi's life experience, or the news has not yet spread.

  Song Jiyun can't care about these anymore, she has more important things to do.

"It is said that the Royal Kiln Factory will open its bids on the 28th of next month." She also lowered her voice and said to Zheng Quan, "And Eunuch Wan wants to take advantage of the opportunity of firing sweet white porcelain this time to transfer back to the capital. I will let go of this opportunity to open the bid, if we send some antique calligraphy and paintings like in previous years, I am afraid it will be hard to satisfy our desires."

  Zheng Quan was stunned, but didn't ask any further questions, and said, "What does Missy want me to do?"

  Song Jiyun took the seal left by his father, and pondered: "Go to the silver building overnight for me, and let them prepare two hundred gold bars for me as soon as possible."

  Antique calligraphy and painting, how can there be real money to make people's heart beat.

  Zheng Quan left at the sound.

  Song Jiyun spent a long time writing and drawing alone in the study before going to have dinner with Mrs. Qian.

  *

  Early the next morning, Guo Zixing led several shopkeepers and master craftsmen of the kiln factory over.

  Song Jiyun met them in the hall where her father used to discuss business.

   Everyone sat down in order of priority. After serving tea with the maids, Madam Zheng closed the door of the hall.

  Guo Zixing and the others tightened their expressions.

  Song Jiyun, who was sitting at the long table in the middle hall, took a sip of tea leisurely, and then talked about the opening of the imperial kiln factory.

  Everyone was shocked, and Guo Zixing exclaimed even more: "How is it possible? Didn't it mean that it hasn't been decided yet?"

As he spoke, he cast his eyes on Wang Dahai, who was sitting timidly in the last seat, and asked him, "Don't you say that Eunuch Wan told you that it hasn't been settled yet? You won't make Eunuch Wan unhappy." Bar?"

  The reason why Wang Dahai can still sit here is because he can eat, drink and have fun with Eunuch Wan.

Hearing this, he immediately stood up in horror, and repeatedly assured Song Jiyun: "When I went to the Royal Kiln Factory two days ago, Mr. Wan specifically said a few words to me and asked about sweet white porcelain. If Wan My father-in-law hates me, so I can ask someone else."

   No pretense required at all.

   Song Jiyun frowned.

   "Then why don't you know when the bid will be opened?" Guo Zixing said displeasedly, "Or you haven't been to the Royal Kiln Factory frequently these days?"

Wang Dahai yelled "wrong" and said: "The Royal Kiln Factory does not open the bid just after opening the bid. Before the bid is opened, the manufacturing office has to send over the quantity and design of the utensils to be fired next year - no one has ever visited the manufacturing office. Liang County!"

  He also swore to Song Jiyun: "I made my two sons stand guard on the pier day and night. If I miss it and ruin the big business of the boss, I will die!"

  Everyone was ashamed and looked towards Song Cuiyun.

  Song Jiyun believes that Yuan Yunzhong will not just talk about it.

  She believed that Wang Dahai dared not lie.

  Song Jiyun said: "Who told me the news, I won't tell you the details for now. After you go back, just prepare to bid as before."

   After finishing speaking, she did not forget to tell them: "I just found out about this, and I hope everyone will keep it a secret."

  The more you know the news in advance, the better prepared you are.

  Although it has been said that the Song family has won the bid in the past ten years, they have been sailing carefully for thousands of years. All the people present here are people who have experienced the incident, and they all said in unison, "Miss, don't worry."

  Song Jiyun asked again about the heat of the sweet white porcelain.

  Guo Zixing said happily: "According to what Mr. Yuan said before, it's already eight or nine."

  Song Jiyun was slightly stunned.

Speaking of this, Guo Zixing was beaming with joy: "Young Master Yuan asked us to paint the fire photos with various glazes. According to the changes of these glazes and the positions where they are placed, we can judge the degree of fire in the kiln. This is more reliable than spitting." Spectrum."

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with pride, and he said: "However, Mr. Yuan also said that talented people like me are a minority after all, and most people still have to use stupid methods. Using Mr. Yuan's method, it is easy to bring out Apprentice come."

  Song Jiyun was stunned.

  She didn't expect Yuan Yunzhong to discuss these matters with Guo Zixing.

  In her impression, he was a very proud person.

  Or, she doesn't know him that well?

   "That's good!" Song Jiyun smiled and said to Guo Zixing, "You burn a few more kilns of sweet white porcelain, so that Eunuch Wan doesn't have any porcelain when he wants to give gifts."

  Guo Zixing replied "Yes" with a smile, and said, "Those who can make Mr. Wan give gifts are either rich or expensive. Although sweet white porcelain is good, it is new porcelain after all. It would be great if it can catch the eyes of those noble people."

  Everyone heatedly discussed the bidding and firing of porcelain.

   Zheng Quan walked over lightly, and whispered in Song Jiyun's ear, "Master Hong is here!"

   There is still an update for everyone, and it will be written later, everyone will watch it tomorrow night ^O^
