Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 112 The Bai family's internal and external troubles

The night is like water, the sky is full of stars, dazzling.

Bai Susu got off the carriage and stepped into the gate of the White Mansion. She was dressed in a plain white dress and looked like a quietly blooming epiphyllum in the night.

Today, I finished the accounts at Bairun Building. With the Arabic numerals and statistical tables, it is much more convenient to check the accounts this time. It was even easy to find out that some shopkeepers of some shops embezzled public funds and made false accounts. Dealt with.

When I returned to the White Mansion, it was almost late at night, although I was a little tired all over, but at the inner level, I didn't feel as empty and lonely as before.

It was as if a figure walked into my heart, changing from blurred to solid in a little bit.

Faced with this situation, Bai Susu neither deliberately erased it nor actively catered to it. She just wanted to go with the flow and let it develop. Because of that person, she had a strong curiosity and an indescribable feeling.

When Bai Susu walked back to her courtyard absent-mindedly, she found that an old man and a servant were drinking tea and admiring the moonlight in her exquisite small courtyard.

"Grandpa, it's so late, are you still up?"

Bai Feng first turned his head and took a look at Bai Susu. Originally, she was young and beautiful, and she should enjoy the leisure and happiness of a young girl before leaving the court, but now the burden of the family is on her shoulders, and she is busy from morning to night, and late at night. When I returned home exhausted, I still felt some pity and deep helplessness in my heart.

This Bai Fengxian has three sons under his knees, the eldest son Bai Shouren, who was originally a candidate to inherit the family business, but an accident happened ten years ago, his legs were broken, and he can only be used as a wheelchair. He only has one daughter, Bai Susu, who belongs to the family.

The second room belongs to Bai Shouyi's family and is also Bai Susu's second uncle. This person has the word "righteousness" in his name, but he does not act righteously at all.Bai Shouyi has a son, who is 16 years old this year, only one year younger than Bai Susu, but his IQ is ten times lower than hers, a playboy, much worse than the previous Su Chen.

Although Sanfang Bai Shouzhi has the word "智" in his name, his IQ is mediocre. He is a dull and honest person who works hard without complaint. He is a typical type with well-developed limbs and simple mind. He manages a small shop or grocery store. The helm of the big family.

Therefore, Bai Fengxian only appointed Bai Shouzhi to run errands and deliver goods, such as taking people to see the kiln, transporting porcelain clay, and serving as a team leader when distributing goods to shops in Jinling. Entrusting these physical tasks to him also allows him to practice more outside. , can increase some mind.

But Bai Fengxian is approaching seventy years old, his health is getting worse day by day, and the family's internal and external troubles make him anxious and anxious about being the successor of the patriarch.Among the younger generation, we can only pull Bai Susu out to train her, intending to let her support the Bai family for ten or 20 years, making the Bai family stable, and when the time is right, pass on the position of head of the family to those who are qualified in the direct line Male successor, this is the mission entrusted to Bai Susu by old master Bai.

"Are you back so late?" Bai Fengxian asked with concern.

Bai Susu nodded, and said: "April is about to enter, Susu is checking the accounts of the previous three months recently, so that she can know what she knows."

"No big problem, right?"

Bai Susu shook her head and said: "I found some accounting mistakes, but I can deal with it, please rest assured, Grandpa."

Bai Fengxian still trusts this granddaughter's business ability very much. Instead of asking in detail, he changed the subject and said, "You seem to be getting very close to that brat Su Chen recently?"

When Bai Susu heard Su Chen's name, his expression moved slightly, his tired eyes became brighter, and he replied: "Well, let's talk about some business cooperation."

"Talk about business with him. Is this boy surnamed Su reliable?" Bai Fengxian obviously still has some opinions on this Su Chen. I was very upset.

Su Chen's voice, face and smile appeared in Bai Susu's mind, as well as those whimsical ideas, novel remarks, etc., with a slight curvature on the corner of his mouth, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, we can cooperate!"

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Fengxian was talking about Su Chen with a cold face, but found that his always cold granddaughter actually laughed.

Bai Susu immediately tensed up, shook her head and denied, "Is your granddaughter smiling?"

Bai Feng coughed first and was quite speechless. When did his granddaughter, whose business mind was almost monstrous, start to deceive herself and others, pretending to be stupid.

"What project are you collaborating on? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Bai Susu calmly replied: "Soap soap, brewed from several kinds of spirits, and the latest mosquito repellent toilet water..."

After Bai Fengxian heard the words, he didn't quite understand. He shook his head and said, "These are the sidelines of the Bai family. Grandpa hopes that you can focus on making porcelain. My Bai family was a hundred years ago. After the separatist regime and the Huangchao Rebellion, he traveled from the north to the south to Runzhou. His ancestor was the chief craftsman of Xing Kiln in Lincheng in the Tang Dynasty, and he also served as a general supervisor. Later, there were endless wars in the north, and his ancestors went south. This white porcelain manufacturing process, He knows the most, so he quickly gained a foothold in Runzhou City and developed into a wealthy porcelain maker."

Xing Kiln started firing in the Northern Dynasties and declined in the Five Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, it was one of the seven famous kilns in the porcelain industry, and it was also the earliest kiln for firing white porcelain in northern my country.Represented by Xing Kiln white porcelain, it competes with Yue Kiln celadon in the southern region, one green and one white go hand in hand, winning the reputation of "Southern Green and Northern White".

Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty described it in the "Tea Classics": "Xing porcelain is like silver, Yue porcelain is like jade, Xing porcelain is like snow, Yue porcelain is like ice, Xing porcelain is white and brown, and Yue porcelain is green and brown."

In fact, in the ancient Chinese porcelain making, there was celadon first, and then in the Northern Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties, on the basis of firing celadon, craftsmen continued to select raw materials with low iron content to create the original white porcelain, and then gradually invented cosmetic white porcelain. Porcelain, the craftsmanship has been continuously reformed and innovated. Only in the middle of the Tang Dynasty did fine white porcelain appear, which was tribute to the royal family and sold overseas.

Bai Susu listened carefully. She had heard many times about the history of the rise of the family and the development history of white porcelain, but Bai Fengxian said it so solemnly, she still didn't get impatient. importance.

Bai Fengxian continued: "Ding's porcelain firing technology comes from the master craftsman of Yue Kiln, so Ding's celadon is also top-notch; in the past ten years, white porcelain has been fired continuously, but the enamel is thicker, which cannot be compared with our celadon. Compared with the high-quality fine white porcelain of our family. However, they have been digging out several of our key porcelain craftsmen in private, and it is not ruled out that they will threaten and lure them. If the blue and white porcelains are owned by the Ding family at the same time, they will run and block our Bai family, occupy our business, and finally swallow my Bai family."

"Grandpa, I will pay attention." Bai Susu replied calmly.

When Bai Feng saw her first, he always looked calm and calm, and he was not in a hurry. He also admired this granddaughter.

"The celadon and white porcelain kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty have also resumed large-scale firing. This will affect the foreign business of our Tang Dynasty porcelain. It would be great if we can produce a new type of porcelain."

After Bai Fengxian sighed softly, he got up and wanted to go back to the room. Before he left, he said again: "That kid Su Chen, when did he become so smart? He can also be good at medicine and writing lyrics. It's making a lot of noise in the city. Hurry up tomorrow!" Ask him, do you know how to make porcelain?" After speaking, he walked away from his granddaughter's small courtyard.

Bai Susu stood at the same spot, shook her head helplessly, and showed a slight smile. Su Chen is proficient in both medical skills and poetry, and can be understood by others. If he also knows how to make porcelain, then he is too genius, it doesn't exist!
