But the bright moon shines on the ditch

Chapter 20

After the Lantern Festival on 15th, all kilns in Jingdezhen opened one by one, returning to the lively atmosphere of the past.

Especially when the eunuch left, it was as if the dark clouds over the head had melted away and the sky was clear. Everyone in Jingdezhen was smiling and would set up wine to celebrate every event, big or small.

Recalling the day when An Nineteen left, it was still dark in the morning, and the pier was foggy. A group of Yamen guards with knives escorted the important criminals of the court to sit on the Wupeng boat. There were about five of them, forming a circle, surrounding the criminals.

Thinking that no matter how high the ability is, it may be difficult to fly.

They went low-key, but the common people were high-key.As soon as the boat left the pier, before reaching the center of Changjiang, the people beat gongs and drums to celebrate.The theater troupe who didn't have time to evacuate during the New Year's Eve, caught up with such a good event, and didn't raise their voices to show off?Babbling and singing for three more rounds.

The old saying that people are in good spirits on happy occasions is indeed true. Looking at the town is still the same town, and the people are still the same people, but some things are different.

During the New Year's Eve, foreigners who didn't have time to pay New Year's greetings to the various kilns came back this time, carrying a bunch of New Year's gifts in large and small bags, and went to each house to pay New Year's greetings.

All the bosses are also happy, thinking that this year must be a good year!It turned out that two small workers died in Zhengdan, and they thought they would be in trouble all year round!Unexpectedly, there will be a noisy old age in the future.

When foreigners return home, the New Year begins!

Liang Peiqiu sent a group of people away, but before he had time to catch his breath, he heard the servant outside shouting: "Here we come, here we go again!"

The boy's voice was broken from shouting, Liang Peiqiu couldn't help but smile, he didn't care much at the moment, took two sips of herbal tea.

In March, with the thin jacket still covering my body, after drinking such a cup of herbal tea, I guess my stomach will hurt at night.

Fortunately, Wang Yu was not there, otherwise she would have scolded her little girl for not having a long memory and being greedy for coolness.She sticks out her tongue cautiously, and can't help but take another two sips.

The throat is cool, so moist!
It was already late to go out at this time, and she was in a hurry, but she did not expect to meet a large group of people head-on.

They are all workers in the kiln mouth, and they are rushing towards her in a hurry.

Liang Peiqiu was surprised: "What happened? Why aren't you at work?"

That group of people didn't speak, just smiled and looked at her, with all kinds of eyes, joking, watching the excitement, good things, interesting, they just looked at her with good eyesight.

She is young and has a good temper. Although she can be a leader in the kiln, she has no pretensions, and everyone is not afraid of her.

Now one by one stepped forward to surround her, pushing her to go out one after another.

Liang Peiqiu's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? What kind of riddle are you playing?"

"Good thing!"

Everyone laughed in unison.

Curious and nervous, Liang Peiqiu grabbed a boy who was usually close to her, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me something first."

The boy looked around and saw everyone waiting eagerly, so he pretended to lower his voice and uttered a word: "Horse."

After speaking, everyone cast their eyes on Liang Peiqiu.

I saw that the face that was always restrained and delicate, a face that was not lacking in heroism, turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it became more and more red, as red as if it was burning, redder than the flame in the stove.

Everyone was shocked!

Is it really as rumored? !

A group of people left Anqing Kiln and walked to the street.Going up is Hutian kiln, and going down is the entrances of various kilns. The road in the middle is called Shizi Lane. At present, it is crowded with people, and they all look in one direction.

Liang Peiqiu took a deep breath and looked over there too.

One person and one horse were walking towards her, and her heart was beating uncontrollably.

Thinking of that night when she was blocked by that person at the end of the corridor of Jiangshui Building, there was almost no way out.At that time, she still held her breath and refused to give in until he said those words.

What, why don't you want to lose her? Why is he like that?

Seeing that person approaching step by step, the joy in her heart was beyond words, her hands were hanging on both sides of her clothes, and she hardly knew how to place them.

But when that person approached and stopped in front of the clouds and mist, the smile on her lips gradually faded away.

"why you?"

Wang Yunxian said angrily, "Who am I?"

The kid who secretly reported to Liang Peiqiu earlier echoed: "Young Master's family is very generous. I heard that this horse passed through the battlefield and trampled dozens of enemies to death in one go! It is very brave and good at fighting, and everyone in the Northland knows its name! This time, if it hadn't been pierced by an arrow in its ear, it would not be able to fight anymore if it was injured, or it would have to stay in the army and charge forward!"

Wang Yunxian laughed loudly: "Your boy is very well informed. This horse is called Taxue, and I just asked someone to bring it here from the Northland."

Someone next to him flattered: "That's amazing, it looks taller and mightier than the Maxima I saw at the pier last time!"

"Look at its eyes, how energetic they are!"

"Isn't that right? If our young master doesn't make a move, how can there be any bargains?"

Wang Yunxian raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Liang Peiqiu: "What do you think, are you happy?"

Immediately there was a booing from the crowd.

Someone whispered: "Really?"

"I heard that Wang Dadong's family has that intention, I don't know!"

"Hey, if this thing comes true, it will be a happy event!"

……

It took Liang Peiqiu a while to react: "For me?"

"otherwise?"

Wang Yunxian was upset, and said with a flat mouth, "What kind of eyes are you? Disappointed?"

He knew that the little bell was her birthday gift to him, and he had a deep relationship with her, but it was a pity that the horse was not raised well, and there was little training on weekdays, so that it was rare to run once, and died in the snow.

He saw her sadness, and was depressed for a long time when she came back, but her thoughts were all on that person, and she couldn't care about herself.

She didn't think about herself, he could only think about her.

When he saw Xu Zhiliu's horse at the pier before, he was really envious, but ever since he saw her riding a horse, he felt that she needs a good horse more than he does, a real good horse that is not afraid of wind and snow and can accompany her through thick and thin.

He suppressed his unhappiness and forcibly smiled: "If you want, it will be your little bell."

Liang Peiqiu was deeply moved, but said: "It's too precious, I can't accept it."

"What is expensive or not between you and me?"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Liang Peiqiu realized something was wrong belatedly, and asked, "Why are you all joining in the fun?"

"Boss, don't hide it from us, everyone knows!"

Wang Yunxian was also stunned this time, confused: "Know what?"

"Wang Dadong's family wants to adopt the boss as a foster son! That's why you bought a horse as a gift!"

Wang Yunxian...

"Who spread the news? What kind of adopted son! This is a gift from me to Pei Qiu, do you understand the gift?"

Wang Yunxian was so angry that he patted Taxue's head, looking aggrieved, "Poor my family, Taxue, came here by boat from thousands of miles away. Before I could eat a mouthful of warm rations, I was buried by your group and rejected by my new master. Damn it! It's so hateful!"

Seeing him jumping, Liang Peiqiu couldn't help laughing.

Later, Wang Yunxian couldn't hold back, and Liang Peiqiu finally accepted the horse.

The only little bell is a little bell, and there will be no second little bell to accompany her through the long girlish time.

And stepping on the snow can only be stepping on the snow.

They resettled the stables for Ta Xue, fed him fresh food and bathed him.Ta Xue was raised very well by the previous owner. Although there is a dark wound on his ear and many scars on his body, his fur is smooth and shiny in the sun.

And it is well versed in human nature, when it has nothing to do, it will kick, kick, kick, and circle around Liang Peiqiu, and even if Wang Yunxian wears his mouth, it will ignore it and only listen to Liang Peiqiu's words.

Occasionally, before Liang Peiqiu arrived, Taxue heard her footsteps from a distance, and started howling excitedly.

Its love for the new owner is self-evident, and Wang Yunxian couldn't figure out the reason even if he wanted to break his head.

After the Spring Festival, a few snows fell, and the weather gradually warmed up. Liang Peiqiu was free to ride the snow and go to the countryside to enjoy the wind.

Treading snow likes the vast world. Whenever he reaches the suburbs, he will run wildly. Sometimes Liang Peiqiu can't bear the bumps, so he unties the rein and lets him have fun.

It is very obedient, never runs around, and returns when it is time.

After coming and going for a long time, the news spread to the inspection department, and even Wu Yin knew that a good horse had come to town.

One day, Liang Peiqiu rode his horse and walked along Jingde Avenue, and saw a group of officers and soldiers in armor and guard uniforms getting ready in front of Jiangshui Tower from a distance. The leader was a young man, tall and strong.

Looking at this appearance, it is really bluffing.

The man obviously saw her too, his gaze swept across her and her Ta Xue with probing eyes, and then fanatically landed on Ta Xue.

Liang Peiqiu's back stiffened, and a strange feeling came to his mind.

At this moment, a woman came out from the Jiangshui building, with a pocket bamboo basket on her arm, and a pink skirt in one hand, showing her delicate feet, she raised her head and called out to the young man, "Brother."

Although her attire can't be called gorgeous, her demeanor is not out of the ordinary.

The man immediately calmed down, grinned, showing a mouthful of big white teeth: "Sister!"

Liang Peiqiu's body became even stiffer.

This man is really quite different.

She clamped the horse's belly, yelled, and urged Ta Xue to go forward.

The two pedestrians passed by, and the woman just raised her head and nodded to her.

Liang Peiqiu also nodded slightly.

At this time, she doesn't know the identity of the woman, nor does she know what kind of intersection with her will happen in the future, but the fate is generally like this, and while playing tricks, it also mostly hurts others.

It was not until a long time later that she realized that the woman's name was Wu Jia, and she was Wu Yin's younger sister, the youngest daughter of the servant of the household department.

What's more, she has an indissoluble bond with Xu Zhiliu.

**
On the way back to Jingdezhen in the evening, Liang Peiqiu passed a tea house and saw a few traveling merchants resting inside.

After hesitating for a moment, she got off her horse and went in to order a cup of tea.

The tea is probably old tea, not to mention bitter, but also has an indescribable taste.

She took a sip and put down the bowl.

The bowl is not a fine porcelain bowl, it is barely made of rough pottery, clay and porcelain clay are mixed, and if you look closely, you can see the composition of the clay, which is probably not modified kaolin.

Kaolin is much finer and more expensive.

It is normal for a small teahouse to not be able to afford good porcelain bowls.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard one of the traveling merchants say: "I heard that something happened to the young master of Hutian Kiln."

Liang Peiqiu was about to get up, but stopped abruptly.

Seeing her acting strangely, everyone swept towards her, but saw her sitting back again, picking up the tea bowl at the side, and took a few more sips.

The few people didn't look at her again, and continued: "I've also heard about this. A businessman from Qimen came across a few times ago, and he said that he came to the door several times, but he didn't see the young owner of the Hutian Kiln. There has never been such a situation in previous years."

"The young master is a good person. It is said that he would not put on airs and deliberately refuse to accept outsiders, right?"

"I met that young master once, it's not that kind of person."

"I heard it's been a long time since I saw you."

"Yeah, it's been rumored outside that something happened to the young owner, otherwise how could he see the sky and see no one? When we went to buy goods this morning, we happened to see the usually lazy big owner passing by the door. It seemed that something happened in the kiln. The fifty-year-old old man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely."

……

The group of traveling merchants in the teahouse were still talking about something, when they heard a "crack" next to them, and the tea bowl fell to the ground, but there was no crisp sound.

They were wondering, when they saw the man took out a few copper coins from his waist, threw them on the table, and ran to the city on horseback.

Look at the anxious roar, it seems that the sky is falling.

Liang Peiqiu didn't have time to go home, so she went straight to Hutian Kiln. Then she got off her horse and bumped into Xu Zhong head-on.

Xu Zhong was about to have a verbal fight with the person in charge of the Three Kilns and Nine Associations about the Yaokou, but seeing that it was the opposite party again, he immediately became angry.

"why you?"

Guessing that the other party also heard the wind and came to inquire about the news, he shook his face, "What wind brought the little god to our Hutian Kiln?"

Liang Peiqiu didn't have the time to play around with him, so he asked directly, "What's wrong with Xu Zhiliu?"

Xu Zhong frowned, "What does this mean, little God?"

"What happened to Xu Zhiliu!"

She made a loud noise suddenly, frightened Xu Zhong, and he was about to fool around for a while, when Liang Peiqiu cupped his hands and made a gesture of confessing, then he lifted the corner of his clothes and ran in with big strides.

Xu Zhong hurriedly shouted: "Come on, stop her!"

The boys rushed forward and blocked her way.

Liang Peiqiu was pushed back by a force, and after a few times, she fell backwards and fell to the ground.

Anyway, it's the little god, it's a big deal if it breaks.

Xu Zhong approached with a pale face, and saw that Liang Peiqiu's arm was bruised, revealing two eye-catching bloodstains.When he was about to say something, he got up as if she was fine.

She stared at him fixedly, her voice was not high, but she was determined, every word was clear and powerful.

"I want to see him."

She only said one sentence, repeatedly, "I want to see him."
