But the bright moon shines on the ditch

Chapter 1

In the winter moon, a new porcelain singing class came to Jingdezhen.

Wang Yunxian is the most lively person, whenever a new item arrives at the port, no one can catch his ears earlier than him.

This time it is said that it is a porcelain singing troupe from the south of the Yangtze River, all of them are graceful and graceful, and they are still in their [-]s and [-]s, and their faces are so tender that water can be squeezed out.

How can Wang Yunxian miss the excitement?I tidied it up before dawn, scratched my forehead with the comb, and even took out the blue gold silk clothes at the bottom of the press box without fear of freezing to death, and went straight to the Crane House with dewy hair on my head.

When he arrived at the Crane Pavilion, he naturally couldn't walk through the main entrance, and he didn't know where he came from. He walked around and found an alley, and then climbed over the wall neatly.

While the clothes were flipping, there was a free and easy posture of a young master.

As soon as the clinker landed on the ground, Wang Yunxian was dumbfounded looking at a dark dog hole under the high wall covered with vines and grass in front of him.

This……

This……

What can I do?Although he, Wang Yunxian, is not stingy, he has drilled no ten or eight dog holes along the banks of the Changjiang River.

Besides, he was wearing brand new clothes!

Wang Yunxian twisted the corner of the exquisite silk dress with one hand, picked it up and put it down again, his slender eyes kept tightening, just as he was clenching his teeth and preparing to rush to the dog hole, a chuckle suddenly came from behind him.

Wang Yunxian trembled all over, and when he looked back, he saw a slender figure looming in the bright sky.

The figure should be wearing a cotton and white coarse cloth jacket, with black-soled steps on his feet, blending into the mist.

At first glance, I thought I had seen a ghost, but Wang Yunxian's ears were extraordinary, and he could guess the identity of the person upon hearing it.

His trembling was not frightened, but surprised.

"Pei Qiu, are you a cat? You stay up most of the night to stare at me?"

Wang Yunxian's tone was a little annoyed, "If you don't show up sooner or later, but at this time, you deliberately waited to see my jokes, didn't you?"

"I just caught up with you because of your fast pace, how dare you see your jokes."

While speaking, the man took a few steps forward, revealing his true face.

A clean and pure face, with appropriate shades, is like a long scroll ink painting, with a few strokes and no finishing touches, only a pair of eyes can speak, adding a bit of heroism to his male and female face, which also corresponds to his name—Pei Qiu.

Pei Qiu's name was changed by Wang Yu, who was the kiln owner of Anqing Kiln and Pei Qiu's master.

Wang Yu once said that if you only talk about autumn characters, you can only show them.Add a word, so it is beautiful and beautiful.

But Wang Yunxian only knew one thing and didn't know the other. He spent his whole life in cockfighting and lackeys, he was not professionally advanced, and his vision was not very good.

To be honest, she can be regarded as a girl's masculinity at best, and the heroic spirit under the brow bone is a layer of protection that she has cultivated in the market for many years as a man.

The name change was just a gimmick to avoid trouble.

But how can Wang Yunxian care so much at the moment?The excitement is right in front of you, why not watch it!

No matter what Pei Qiu said, he didn't believe it. He looked at the dog hole from the corner of his eye and tried to get rid of Pei Qiu, while pretending to be curious and asked: "The porcelain singing class just arrived at the ferry yesterday, and they were taken to the Crane House as soon as they got off the boat. It is said that the news hasn't spread yet. How did you know?"

"The Young Master's family probably forgot what day it is today."

"What day?"

Seeing that Liang Qiu didn't say anything, Wang Yunxian had no choice but to move his elm head, patting his head for a while, and remembered that today is the fifteenth day, which is a big day for the dragon vat to open the kiln!
Ordinarily, opening a kiln is as common as eating and sleeping for Jingdezhen people, and there is nothing to care about. After all, the kiln fire in Jingdezhen has never been extinguished for thousands of years.

In this huge Changjiang port, no matter where you stand or when you are, you can see the rising flames.

At night, the whole town is like a huge city surrounded by flames, and also like a big furnace with many chimneys, but there are always some time points, which are special in Jingdezhen, where the kiln fire has never been extinguished for thousands of years, one of which is the firing of large dragon vats.

Speaking of the big dragon tank, it is really an old lady's foot wrap, which is smelly and long.

There were frequent bloodsheds in the previous dynasty because of this, but it was the turn of the present dynasty, after a few years of silence, the emperor appeared again.

Let’s just say that the current lawsuit is due to the fact that the three major palaces of the previous dynasty were struck by lightning and burned down on the spot.

After the current Emperor Wanqing ascended the throne, life gradually improved, so he came up with the idea of ​​repairing and rebuilding.

I don’t need to say how fierce the chaos inside and outside the imperial palace was due to the large-scale construction and construction. Anyway, the government order was passed down, and there was only a piece of paper left, asking the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory to burn a green dragon tank for water storage and fire prevention to match the three main halls.

On the thick stack of lists, there are no less than [-] varieties such as Qingshuangyunlongbaoxianghua vat, blue-and-white porcelain Qingshuangyunlong vat, etc. In addition, there are nine dragons and nine phoenix dining table utensils for the three main halls, which are diverse and dazzling.

Regarding the requirements for the acceptance of the dragon cylinder, the emperor Jinkou Yuyu said that there are only four words - "There are no clouds in the sky".

But for the Royal Kiln Factory, it is a big embarrassment!
The body of the dragon vat must be very handcrafted, and the kiln must be of a special shape, and the sagger must be specially made, and the firing process is protracted.There are many difficulties in production, and the output is naturally scarce.It’s okay to have a small output. To achieve the effect of “cloudless”, it is really too much.

Finally, the burning was successful, and transportation was also a problem.Moving all the way to the capital, if you accidentally bump it and get a scratch or crack, it's a big taboo, if you are not careful, you will lose your head!

After receiving the task, the Royal Kiln Factory was gloomy from top to bottom.

Fortunately, this year, the world is more peaceful, the problem of food and clothing has been solved, and the common people have time to solve the problem of getting rich.

Hundreds of dragon vats, the Jingdezhen imperial kiln factory (that is, the official kiln that eats official meals) established by the emperor in the back garden of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely not be able to do it. It must rely on the power of the people. Therefore, after many discussions, it was finally decided to join the folk kiln to fire the big dragon vat together, commonly known as official and civilian burning.

In fact, this happened in the previous dynasty, but the status of the big dragon tank was special, so it was a special matter.

According to the division of labor, the official kiln is mainly responsible for the porcelain making part, while the private kiln is mainly responsible for the firing part.However, for a piece of porcelain to be presented perfectly, the process is complicated, with as many as 72 steps. Neither is a fixed process, nor is there a standard to copy, which requires the flexibility of both parties.

For example, Anqing Kiln was originally a large local kiln household with two lines of firing and production. It had its own skilled painters, who followed the drawings passed by the court painters to trace, which was not far behind the painters of the Royal Kiln Factory.

In addition, Jingdezhen has a well-developed porcelain industry and advanced industrialization. Individual achievements are not emphasized in front of the collective. This is why since ancient times, famous kilns such as Jun Kiln and Ge Kiln have been famous, rather than a certain person, a certain Hongdian painter, or a certain porcelain master.Of course there are, very few.

As far as Jingdezhen is concerned, it is not so important whether the porcelain blanks are made in private kilns or official kilns.As long as the government and the people can cooperate to satisfy the emperor, any operation in the process is feasible.

Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who knows what kind of doorway is inside.Besides, that is a big dragon vat, and it is already very powerful to be fired, and the manpower behind it is not worth mentioning at all.

Wang Yunxian calculated carefully, every [-]th day he could not sleep through the night, if not eight, there would be six, and some of them could not fit into the bed due to his personal reasons.

Thinking about it this way, after more than half a year, the dragon tank has not been burned yet? !

God! ! !
No wonder Liang Peiqiu stared at him like a hawk without sleeping. How could he not be present as the young boss on such a day?It's fine if you don't have a good shape on weekdays, you must pay attention to opening the dragon tank, fasting and bathing, burning incense and worshiping Buddha are nothing!
After all, you have to rely on your family to support you, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Yunxian was a little shaken, so he said: "I will take the lead in this kind of thing, you are different, but you must not delay the business because of me."

Hearing this, Liang Peiqiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You, what kind of eyes are you looking at? Don't you know something about Master Xingben? When did I lose my sense of proportion in major matters? I am still very sincere about my business, okay? But Pei Qiu, you don't have much respect for Master Vulcan, so you should go back and kowtow quickly."

Wang Yunxian hummed, stroked the corner of his clothes that had been crumpled earlier, withdrew his feet, turned his body, looked at Goudong reluctantly, sighed again, and made a gesture of going back with Liang Peiqiu.

Liang Peiqiu comforted: "The porcelain singing class will not leave soon, after a few days, there is still a chance."

"It's easy for you to say, when the Crane Pavilion is opened by your family, you can come here when you want? I heard that it is full of rare and exotic beasts collected from the Northland, and it is specially used for the entertainment of high-ranking officials. This time the porcelain singing class is here, who may add to the fun..."

As he spoke, his excitement surged up again, and he changed the subject abruptly, "No, I finally woke up early!"

Before Liang Peiqiu recovered, he saw the person who had followed him over half the wall before, jumped down with lightning speed, and climbed into the dog hole in three steps and two steps.

It looks like a loach, hidden in the grass, too fast to disappear.

She opened her mouth and subconsciously chased after him.

When Wang Yunxian heard the movement behind him, he rushed forward, but he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Liang Peiqiu came up from behind and helped him.

The two were about to talk when there was movement in the distance.

Wang Yunxian hurriedly pressed his lips to signal, and pulled Liang Peiqiu aside.

The two dodged in a panic, entered a corridor, and their vision suddenly opened up.Four flour walls, high and low pavilions, corners of resting mountains, dripping water and double eaves, there are also fish and lotus playing, and pine waves bursting, which is a style of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Wang Yunxian was captured by the aura of wealth and honor in front of him, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was open for a long time and he didn't close it, even Liang Peiqiu looked around unconsciously.

Looking at it this way, Fang Jue looked too quiet.

At this moment, there was Lingling Qingyue coming from the attic on the stone cliff.

Liang Peiqiu tugged at Wang Yunxian's sleeve lightly and gestured to him with his eyes.

Based on her understanding of Wang Yunxian, it would be impossible to let him leave at this moment. Instead of being discovered by someone in a stalemate, it is better to find a safe place to hide first.

After the play is over, he can be obedient.

She pointed in a direction, and Wang Yunxian looked over, with ecstasy on his face, and couldn't help patting Liang Peiqiu on the shoulder: "Peiqiu, who knows me, is indeed Wang Yunxian's best brother!"

"Go and come back quickly, don't delay the business."

The two of them quietly walked along the path in the pine forest, climbed up the staggered and overlapping artificial hills, and came to the northeast corner of the attic.Facing it is an open lattice window, and in the middle is a screen with a carved pineapple wood map of treasures, separating the inside from east to west.

On the east side is probably the porcelain singing troupe that Wang Yunxian said came from the south of the Yangtze River.A group of five people, all straight and beautiful, are playing folk music from the Southland with different ceramic instruments in their hands.

The music is cheerful, with the unique material of ceramics. The porcelain surface is hard and solid, crisp and penetrating. Under the impact, the sound is particularly clear and long. In addition, the soft language of Wu Nong sung by the daughters in a low voice is unique.

It’s just this time point, just after dawn, the daughters of the porcelain singing class began to perform, presumably on the other side specially separated by a screen, the status of the other party is either rich or noble.

And I'm afraid I haven't returned overnight.

As a result, I don't know what kind of grand occasion last night was in this magnificent Crane Pavilion.

Wang Yunxian was really curious, he stretched his neck, his eyes were wide open, his face was flushed red, but he couldn't see anything.

The position of the screen was tricky, it just blocked their field of vision, Wang Yunxian had to climb half of the rockery and poke out half of his head, making a leap into the air, just like this, just happened to see a pendulum of green clothes blowing up with the wind.

The shadows and shadows make people feel more itchy and unbearable.

Wang Yunxian turned his head and whispered to Liang Peiqiu: "Peiqiu, you are light and light, I will help you, you go up to see."

Liang Peiqiu had no choice but to be pushed up by Gong.At the end of the song, there was another evil wind in the forest, the bamboo grove rustled, and with the swaying of the window, the pendant of the deep blue clothes was blown again.

Followed by a slender arm.

This time Liang Peiqiu turned his head slightly and saw the man clearly.

So he stood there in a daze.
