  Chapter 75

   After breakfast, Qian Shi insisted on going back to the city first, Song Jiyun and Yuan Yunzhong saw her off.

Mrs. Qian got into the mule cart and said to Yuan Yunzhong: "After finishing the matter here, you should hurry back to the city with Yun Duo. The kiln is too simple and dusty. It's okay to come and have a look, but it's not good to live for a long time." suitable."

   also said: "When you come back, I will ask Guanshi Wu to buy a cook who cooks Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine."

  Even if it's the three delicacies seasoning, Yuan Yunzhong still finds it spicy.

  Song Cumulus has become numb.

  In just one meal, her mother not only planned to let Yuan Yunzhong go to the Song clan to study, but also planned to raise two horses for Yuan Yunzhong, a carriage, and two embroiderers.

   Buying a cook who cooks Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine can no longer surprise her.

  She helped Qian put down the car curtain, and said, "Be careful on the road. We will go back in the afternoon."

   As she spoke, she winked at the driver who was driving the carriage.

  The coachman swung his whip and immediately left the kiln.

  Song Jiyun took a deep breath, turned his head and saw Yuan Yunzhong looking thoughtfully at her mother's carriage going away.

  She felt a "thump" in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Yuan, there is still something to do in the kiln factory, so I won't accompany you. If you have anything to do, just tell the sixth son."

  Yuan Yunzhong withdrew his gaze from a distance, nodded, and said, "Okay! Just let me know when you leave."

  Song Jiyun watched Yuan Yunzhong leave, with a smile that she didn't even know was on the corner of her mouth.

   Zheng Quan and Luo Zixing hurried over.

   "Miss!" Zheng Quan said in a deep voice, "A group of masters whose contracts have expired recently proposed to leave the kiln factory."

  Song Jiyun looked serious, and said: "Let's talk in the private room."

  The two nodded in unison, and went to the elegant room next to the hall to sit down.

  Song Jiyun said: "How many people want to leave the kiln? Who are they?"

Luo Zixing looked solemn, and said: "There are about thirty people, all of whom are masters in the daily porcelain workshop, or apprentices who have just graduated from the master. They have all kinds of processes. It's okay for the apprentices, I have asked everyone's masters to ask The situation has changed. Those masters left with their apprentices, and they might not be able to keep them."

   Zheng Quan added next to it: "Master Xiang said that it is very likely that someone saw that our Songjia Kiln Factory was uneasy during this period, and came to poach the wall."

   Song Jiyun also thinks so.

  She mused: "The group of people who left, how about their craftsmanship?"

  Luo Zixing said: "Except for two talented apprentices who have just graduated from the teacher, the others can also make ordinary porcelain."

   "Then can we keep those two talented people?" Song Jiyun asked.

  Luo Zixing smiled wryly and said, "These two are the most troublesome."

Song Jiyun's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said: "Twisted melons are not sweet. Since they want to leave, they should follow the kiln's rules. Those who have learned crafts in Songjia Kiln will keep the money for their learning; those who have not learned For those who have passed the arts, deduct three months' wages and let them leave the job."

   No matter who they are behind the scenes, pay her a large sum of money first.

  She also happened to see how financially the people behind this scene are?

Song Jiyun also told Luo Zixing: "You don't have to embarrass them. The world's major events must be divided for a long time, and they must be united for a long time, let alone us ordinary people who have to support their families. Others are not happy with us, and they have not violated the contract. Agreement, why should we not let others go?

  "Others obey the rules, we should obey the rules too."

  Luo Zixing couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "I see what will happen to them!"

  Song Jiyun waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "Planting plane trees will attract phoenixes. We will work together to make the kiln better than before. If we don't need to poach corners, there will always be skilled masters to do the work."

  She discussed with Luo Zixing for a long time about how to rearrange the kiln workers in the kiln factory after this group of people left.

  Xiang Yang walked in with big strides, his face as earthy as he said: "Miss, it's not good, Eunuch Wan is here!"

  In the entire Jingdezhen, and even Liang County, there is only one person who can be called father-in-law.

   That is Wan Xiaoquan, the pottery supervisor of the Royal Kiln Factory.

   "Why is he here?" Song Jiyun frowned, stood up awkwardly, and said, "Who else is he following?"

  She originally wanted to visit Eunuch Wan when the kiln factory settled down.

  Xiang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "He also brought two young eunuchs and seven or eight government servants."

   It was an ordinary scene of going out.

  Song Jiyun asked Luo Zixing to tell other workshops, while she and Xiang Yang went to meet Eunuch Wan.

   "What else do you know?" She asked Xiang Yang, "Do you have any experience and lessons for me?"

  Xiang Yang's sweat became more dense.

He said: "I have been working in the Songjia Kiln Factory for nearly twenty years, and this is the second time I have seen Eunuch Wan. The last time our kiln fired white porcelain, he came to visit the white porcelain workshop in person. But I heard from Wang Dahai that Eunuch Wan likes to be arty, and his claws are very deep. As long as the kilns he targets, there will be blood and meat, which is very difficult to deal with."

  Song Jiyun nodded, and saw a small sedan chair with green curtains parked at the gate, two handsome boys stood on both sides, and seven or eight tall and burly government servants surrounded the sedan chair.

   "Eunuch Wan!" She stepped forward, saluted respectfully through the car curtain, and said, "I didn't know you would come, but I am sorry to welcome you. I hope you will be tolerant!"

  The curtains of the car were quietly lowered, and there was no sound in the car.

   Is this trying to show her off?

  Song Jiyun had no choice but to wait, thinking about the various reasons for Mr. Wan's visit in his heart, but his posture was straight, his expression was calm, he was graceful and dignified.

  After about a quarter of an hour, there was a cold snort from inside the sedan chair, and a soft voice said: "Get up the sedan chair!"

   Several bearers hurriedly lifted up the sedan chair and walked unsteadily into the kiln.

  Song Jiyun is leading the way ahead.

   A group of people arrived at the hall.

  The sedan chair stopped, and one of the boys raised the curtain of the sedan chair, and a man in his thirties stepped out from inside with his head bowed. Wearing a bamboo-green Hangzhou silk straight gown, a red gold hairpin inlaid with white jade and cloud patterns, and gold seven things, small seals, jade pendants and other things hanging on the waist.

  He looked up at the plaque in front of the hall with "Song Family" written on it, and walked in first.

  Song Jiyun discovered that this Mr. Wan had a long face, sparse eyebrows, bulbous nose, but a pair of piercing eyes, and looked very shrewd.

She asked Mr. Wan to sit down in the middle hall, and when the maids served tea, she blessed Mr. Wan again, saying: "My father said 'you' on the top and 'good' on the bottom. I am the elder in the family. The eldest girl in the second room is also the owner of the Song Kiln Factory. I don’t know if Eunuch Wan came here in person, what’s the matter? Is there anything we can do for you?”

  Eunuch Wan picked up the teacup and blew on the floating tea leaves. Then he glanced at Song Jiyun and said, "Ma'am?"
