  Chapter 76

   "Yes!" Song Jiyun said, "When my father was alive, he always hoped that I could take over the kiln factory."

  As she spoke, she looked at Luo Zixing and others who had rushed over to receive Eunuch Wan, and said, "Fortunately, there are several big shopkeepers and master masters supporting me. I have lived up to my father's expectations."

   Then she gave a blessing to Eunuch Wan, and said: "My father often talked about the adults' support for our kiln factory, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future!"

  She is neither humble nor overbearing, and she is generous, so that Eunuch Wan can't help but look at her more.

He leaned back, seemingly casually but with arrogance in his bones, leaned on the back of the grand master's chair, and said, "I heard that you fired an empty kiln two days ago? The kiln workers from your kiln factory went to your house to make trouble because of it." gone?"

  At that time, there were quite a few people watching the excitement, and Song Jiyun didn't expect to be able to hide it from the people at the Imperial Kiln Factory all the time, but there has always been a rule in the officialdom, and Eunuch Wan found out so quickly, which still surprised her.

She said frankly: "Yes! My father left in a hurry, and everyone in the family panicked. The kiln factory is also overstaffed, so there will inevitably be some troubles. But don't worry, I live in the kiln factory for the past few days. In dealing with this matter, there will certainly be no delay in delivery."

"Really?" Eunuch Wan's originally gloomy gaze became even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "But how did I hear that something happened to your kiln last night—Song Li, who was in charge of glazing the sacrificial white porcelain, , because people are dissatisfied with a woman who runs a kiln, and ruined the clay for sacrificial white porcelain, now there is no more clay for the kiln?"

   Song Jiyun's heart trembled.

   Unless Wan Gonggong sent someone to watch the Song family's kiln factory, otherwise it would be impossible to know so quickly and in such detail?

   But at this time, she didn't have time to think about it, so she smiled and said, "That's the case. But when my father was alive, he often told us 'be prepared for any danger'. Our kiln has always had mud in reserve."

   She said, and told Zheng Quan: "Go to the drying room, and bring some clay cakes we made for sacrificial white porcelain."

   Then he was fair to Lord Wan: "My lord, we have already made preparations, and the remaining mud can be fired in another kiln."

  Eunuch Wan was taken aback.

   Luo Zixing, who rushed over to accompany the guests, was already sweating profusely.

  They knew that Song Jiyun was brave, but they didn't expect her to be so big that she would dare to fool Eunuch Wan!

   But Eunuch Wan was really fooled by Song Jiyun.

   Regardless of the fact that he has been a pottery supervisor for more than ten years, he can clearly explain what kind of mud has what kind of characteristics, but he may not be able to recognize it clearly.

   What's more, the Song family's sacrificial white porcelain has its own unique secret recipe. Even if he doubts it, there is no way to judge it immediately.

  Eunuch Wan looked at the clay cake that Zheng Quan had brought over, and then threw it aside, with a gentle expression on his face.

  Song Jiyun hurriedly said: "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely deliver the goods before August 15th."

  Five days earlier than the date on the deed.

   "No!" Eunuch Wan obviously didn't trust them, and said coldly, "The delivery must be made before the tenth day of August!"

  Time cut in half.

  Song Jiyun calculated in his heart, and said: "Listen to your lord's orders!"

  Eunuch Wan looked at her in surprise, his expression softened slightly, and he looked less gloomy than before.

  He said: "Then who is responsible for glazing the sacrificial white porcelain?"

  The secret recipe of the Song family offering white porcelain is clay and glaze.

   Without Song Li, would this porcelain still be fired?

  Song Jiyun said: "I will be in charge!"

  Eunuch Wan couldn't hide his astonishment, he sat up straight suddenly, looked her up and down, and asked suspiciously, "You?"

"Yes!" Song Jiyun said with a smile, "The glaze formula for sacrificial white porcelain is the lifeblood of our family. Master Song knows how to glaze at most, but the formula has always been in the hands of my father. My father is still alive. At that time, I was asked to recite the formula. One more Song Li is not too many, and one less Song Li is not much."

  Eunuch Wan didn't speak, and stared at her eyes with some gloomy eyes, as if in this way, he could tell whether what Song Jiyun said was true or not.

  Song Jiyun is not afraid of him watching.

  Her father told many people when he was alive that he wanted to find her a husband and inherit the family business.

  Eunuch Wan has been in Liang County for so many years, so he should have heard of it.

  A person like him, who is used to being the emperor in Liang County, and has preconceived ideas, how could he listen to her words?

   It's better to use her father to temporarily appease him, and wait for her to burn the sacrificial white porcelain.

   Besides, she is responsible for the glazing process, and she is not lying.

  This time, she is going to do it herself.

  She looked up at Eunuch Wan with a very sincere expression.

  Eunuch Wan smiled.

   It's just that the smile doesn't reach the eyes, and it looks a little gloomy.

   Song Jiyun's heart tightened.

  Eunuch Wan stood up abruptly, stared into her eyes, and said solemnly: "Then I will wait for the tenth day of August to receive the goods!"

  Song Jiyun hurriedly bowed his knees to salute, and answered "Yes".

   "Going home!" Eunuch Wan said, and walked out.

  Song Jiyun hurriedly followed, and said: "It's getting late, the weather is hot at noon, it's not too late for you to go after lunch with us!"

  Eunuch Wan didn't even look at her, he walked out and said, "Let's talk about it after you hand over the sacrificial white porcelain!"

  The implication is that if she can't make sacrificial white porcelain, there is no need to even know her.

  Song Jiyun followed Eunuch Wan's sedan chair and sent them to the gate of the kiln factory. Seeing his sedan chair dangling in the scorching sun, he and Zheng Quan turned around and went to the hall.

  Luo Zixing hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he couldn't hold it back. After they sat down in the hall and drank the sour plum soup to cool off the heat, he said worriedly: "Miss, are you really going to be responsible for glazing the sacrificial white porcelain?"

  Glazing seems simple, but in fact, it is difficult to master the thickness without more than ten years of effort.

  Before this, he had never heard that Song Jiyun could be glazed.

He said: "There are still a few glazed masters in the kiln factory, and their craftsmanship is no worse than Song Li's. But at that time, the owner believed in Song Li, so he asked Song Li to be responsible for glazing the sacrificial white porcelain. Or, from those few masters Choose one."

  Song Jiyun smiled and said, "If you don't tell me, I'm going to ask you to recommend some to me."

  Luo Zixing and the others were a little confused.

  Song Jiyun pretended to be closed: "You will know when the time comes."

  Luo Zixing, you look at me, I look at you, my heart is up and down like duckweed floating on the water, I always feel that there is no bottom. *

  In the courtyard shaded by trees, when Shao Qing, who had sneaked into the hall to watch the excitement, walked in lightly, he saw their master standing with his hands behind the eaves, looking at the bamboo forest next door.

  He turned around and wanted to slip away quietly.

  Unexpectedly, Yuan Yunzhong said to him indifferently: "Wan Xiaoquan is gone?"

  Knowing that his whereabouts were exposed but he was not questioned, Shao Qing heaved a sigh of relief, approached with a playful smile, and said, "Master, I can't hide anything from you!"

  Yuan Yunzhong did not speak.

  Shao Qing couldn't wait to talk about what he saw and heard in the hall, and kept praising Song Jiyun for being smart and generous, and he was able to deal with the people in the yamen with ease.

  Yuan Yunzhong had a slight smile on his brows and eyes.

  He already knew.

   Isn't it like this when she asked Wang Zhubo for help? !
