Chapter 2067
"Master Fang, thank you for your help with the marriage between the Xu and Meng families... This is my kind girl, please bring it out and thank you." The uncle of the Meng family greeted his parents and daughters, and said, "Sister Ci, come and see Master Fang , thank you for his help."

Meng Ci blushed, came over to salute Xu Fang, and said in a soft voice: "Sister Ci met Master Fang, thank you very much."

Xu Fang didn't expect that Uncle Meng's family would be so ignorant that he would bring his unmarried daughter out to meet him in such a big way.

Although he has fame and fame, he is only a servant after all, and it was the Second Young Master Xu who was promised by Meng Ci, a master's fiancée came to greet a servant... Hou Ye is right, the Meng family is not worthy of him at all. Using a bastard to win over is only worthy of being tricked by him.

However, Meng Ci's appearance is not bad, and her face is fairer than that of ordinary northwest women, so Xu Fang took a second look.

Old Man Meng was so angry that he gave Uncle Meng a hard look, and cursed: "Boss, you are still so unruly at such an old age. Master Fang is here to talk about things. Why do you bring Sister Ci here to make trouble!"

The engagement letter has already been obtained, and Sister Ci is considered the daughter-in-law of Master Xu's family who has never been married, and is the master. If you bring her to meet a servant, isn't this lowering her status?idiot!
Xu Fang came back to his senses, looked away, and said to Mr. Meng: "There is one more thing I need to tell Mr. Meng. It's a custom in Mr. Hou's hometown. If you get married in the first month, the woman has to embroider it before the dragon raises her head on the second month of February." Give the purse to the man, and the man’s family will use the purse to pack grain seeds, so as to celebrate a good harvest and a new life.”

As it is related to the harvest of food and the succession of the family, Mr. Meng naturally did not dare to neglect, and said: "This is a big deal, don't worry, Sister Ci will embroider it before February [-] and send it to the Xu family."

Xu Fang smiled and said: "Second Young Master is not here, just give me the purse after embroidering it, and I will take it to Lord Hou, who will fill it with grain seeds."

He also specially explained: "There is no need to embroider the full name, just embroider the two surnames of Xu Meng on one side of the purse."

After hearing this, Old Man Meng frowned. He always felt that there was a fraud here, but after thinking about it, he still agreed: "Yes, follow the rules of Lord Hou's hometown."

Xu Fang smiled, and after thanking Mr. Meng, he said again: "Master, Mr. Hou has many wounded soldiers to support, and we can't delay the firing of porcelain any longer. Let's set off to visit the porcelain kiln. Burn out a batch of porcelain to have a look."

After saying that, he got up and walked out, not giving Mr. Meng a chance to delay.

Now that the engagement letter is in hand, Mr. Meng didn't want to delay any longer. After explaining a few words to Mr. Meng's family, he left with his confidant, the old steward, and left the city in Xu's carriage.

But not long after leaving the city gate, he saw a group of more than a hundred soldiers in armor and swords.

Xu Fang asked people to stop the carriage, raised the curtain, pointed at the group of soldiers, and said with a smile: "Master Meng, porcelain is precious, this is specially sent by Lord Hou to protect the porcelain kiln."

After all, regardless of whether Mr. Meng agrees or not, he will put down the curtain and let the carriage move again.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes following the carriage, and the sound of metal tools striking each other, Mr. Meng's heart sank, his face was extremely ugly, and he finally couldn't help it, and asked angrily: "Xu Fang, what are you doing?" What do you mean? Did you find these people or were they sent by Lord Hou? Make it clear!"

Xu Fang smiled and coaxed Mr. Meng: "Grandpa, the porcelain business is run by the three families of Xu Shenmeng. The Shen family is a relative of the emperor and has long wanted to occupy the porcelain business. When the guards are sent by the family, it will be very difficult for Hou Ye to send people to Zhuangzi."

Then he said: "Xu and Meng's two families are in-laws, they are tied together for life and death, what worries Mr. Meng?"

After hearing this, Mr. Meng's expression improved a bit: "Master Hou is very thoughtful, but next time Master Hou has any arrangements, it's better to let me know in advance, so I can help."

Xu Fang sneered in his heart, what are you, and you have been notified in advance?It would be nice not to kill you now.

But he said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I will pass on Mr. Meng's words to Lord Hou... In fact, Lord Hou always respects you very much, saying that your family's porcelain craftsmanship has helped him a lot, so that he has enough money to raise soldiers , and there is still a place to house wounded and sick soldiers.”

Mr. Meng said with a smile: "The soldiers protect the northwest and prevent us from being slaughtered by the bandits. After they are disabled, it is right to take care of them and give them a job. Moreover, the wages paid by the wounded and sick soldiers are low. Saying it’s a good thing benefits everyone, so there’s nothing to be thankful for.”

But he was still a little proud, after all, the dignified Lord Hou thanked him for this incident, which made him feel that his status was higher than that of Lord Hou.

However, Mr. Meng never imagined that the wounded and sick soldiers Xu You sent were relatively strong, and the property of the Meng family was gradually embezzled by the Xu family.

……

An hour later, they arrived at Mengjiazhuangzi in the suburbs, where there was a ready-made porcelain kiln workshop, where all the master craftsmen were busy.

Xu Fang and Mr. Meng didn't delay, and went to the porcelain kiln as soon as they arrived, and asked the masters to fire porcelain that day.

The porcelain kiln of the Meng family is an old kiln, and the temperature is not enough. It takes three days to burn the raw embryos thoroughly. Xu Fang waited in the porcelain kiln for three days, but when the fire was worshipped and the gongs were beaten to start the kiln, this The porcelain in the kiln was broken.

"Grey, how could it be gray?!" Xu Fang looked at the porcelain shoveled out with a long shovel, his face was completely black, and ordered the master who shoveled the porcelain: "Shovel again!"

The hand of the master holding the long shovel was trembling, and he hurriedly shoveled out a few more porcelains. Of the six porcelains that came out, three were gray, two were yellow with cracks, and the remaining one had no cracks but It's not white porcelain, the porcelain body has been smoked to a light yellow color, as if a baby has a stomachache and pulls out of his trousers pocket.

Bang!

Xu Fang smashed the porcelain, pointed to the pieces of porcelain and said, "Old Man Meng, Lord Hou gave all his sons to your family, and your family burned such rags? To play with Lord Hou is a capital offense!"

Mr. Meng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Master Fang, the Meng family dare not fool Lord Hou. Besides, this porcelain is not so easy to burn, and it often burns out, that's why it sells so well. Expensive, only rich people can afford it.”

He said again: "It's very normal to have bad porcelain, don't worry, let the master craftsmen come over, have a look at the embryos, and then control the temperature of the kiln, you will be able to burn good porcelain."

Xu Fang: "Then hurry up, Qingniu Mountain Village is also firing porcelain, if they fire the porcelain first, they will take away the title of the number one porcelain in Northwest China!"

Lord Hou sent an order to be the first family in Northwest China to burn porcelain.

After hearing this, Mr. Meng hurriedly greeted the master chefs: "Hurry up, check the raw embryos, look at the clay, test the temperature of the kiln, and see what's wrong!"

"Hey." The masters of the Meng family hurriedly started, but they found out that there was something wrong. Finally, they opened the handbook left by the ancestor Meng, opened another kiln hole, and said: " According to the old ancestor's handbook, change the kiln hole, and try firing another kiln."
