But the bright moon shines on the ditch

Chapter 22

The two also talked about what happened in the city recently, most of which were happy events of the major businesses, either this one had a new employee, or that one opened a new shop, and even the guild halls that had always been estranged from each other became friendly.

After talking a lot, Xu Zhiliu suddenly interrupted her and asked, "What about you? What have you been up to these days?"

"I am still the same."

After subconsciously speaking, Liang Peiqiu recalled Texue waiting for her at the entrance of the kiln, her eyes lit up, "I got a good horse, a very good horse, it's called Texue."

So she told him in detail about all kinds of things about stepping on the snow, Xu Zhiliu was stunned, grasped the key point for a long time, and asked: "A horse from the north? Did Wang Shaodong's family send you?"

Liang Peiqiu was stunned, and nodded: "Well, there was an oolong because of this, I thought..."

"Why?"

"It's nothing." She waved her hand, and the interest in the conversation suddenly faded.

Xu Zhiliu also stopped talking.

The two were speechless for a while.

Fortunately, Shi Nian appeared in time and broke their embarrassment.Liang Peiqiu took the opportunity to leave and told Xu Zhiliu to rest well.He nodded and said nothing more.

Liang Peiqiu looked back three times at a step, and saw that he had closed his eyes, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

It was fine before, why did it suddenly get cold?
She was really puzzled, and couldn't care less to think about it, because as soon as she left the Hutian kiln, she saw a group of busybodies squatting on both sides of the street, chatting enthusiastically while eating melon seeds.

And there was a person standing in front of her.

The man seemed to have just gone on a long journey, his clothes were a little messy, one of his shoes was covered with mud, and a few strands of hair hung down on his forehead, moving with the wind, sometimes blocking his sight.

The man ignored her and just stared at her for a moment.

Before she could say a word, he turned around and left while leading Taxue.

Just by looking at the back, one can tell how angry he is.

-

Wang Yunxian has caused a lot of trouble since he was a child, and he seems to be indifferent, but in fact he has walked around the kiln since he was a child, and he has a set of principles for how to behave in the world.

He seldom really competes with anyone. On the contrary, because of his ability to empathize beyond ordinary people, he often hurts the spring and autumn, and causes the emotional distress of his children.

When seeing the small workers struggling to make ends meet, although he would not propose to the Sanyao Nine Association to pay more labor fees or relax the employment form and allow them to work in various houses like Xu Zhiliu did, he would let the workers bring their children to the kiln to work together, so that he would accompany them to play together, and the workers would also be relieved of worries.

He came from a wealthy family since he was a child, and in the land of Jiangyou, he is considered a real son of a rich family, but he really has no class distinctions in his heart, and he can play well with anyone.

He can speak a few words, from the children of the gentry to the small ones.

No matter who it is, no matter how many years have passed, there is always only one person who is the first in his mind.

That is Liang Peiqiu.

But now it seems that he is on Liang Peiqiu's side, not to mention the first place, even the first few may not be ranked.

Thinking of this, his steps became faster and faster, and he had to trot to keep up with the snow, let alone Liang Peiqiu who was chasing after him.

Liang Peiqiu yelled a few times, but seeing that he didn't respond, she could only run.

When she ran, the troublemakers blocking the entrance of Hutian Kiln lost their composure.

This?
Could it be that civil strife is also happening in Anqing Kiln?

Thinking like this, the attention was diverted, and no one cared to come up to surround Liang Peiqiu.She trotted all the way, but she had no choice but to use ventriloquism to stop Ta Xue.

Treading snow neighed, lifted his foot to brake, Wang Yunxian staggered forward, so as not to fall into the dog's shit.

Seeing that it was Liang Peiqiu who made it bad, his face became even darker like the bottom of a pot.

"You're angry?"

Liang Peiqiu looked at his expression, and silently explained, "I'm just, just..."

"Just what?"

Seeing her faltering and saying nothing, Wang Yunxian said coldly, "I just can't worry about that guy, so you can even forget about the things you agreed with me earlier, can you?"

They often say that he is fighting chickens and lackeys, and he doesn't care about business.Well, he was rare and sensible, and wanted to share Wang Yu's worries, so he went to the warehouse to pick out a piece of porcelain, and when the county magistrate Zhang Wensi arrived, he would present it as a meeting gift to show his heart.

But how does he understand those "Brother Guan Ru Dingjun"?I made an agreement with her to come back from a walk in the snow, and go to the warehouse together tonight, and she palmed his eyes for him.

The results of it?She waited and waited until it was dark, but she still did not return home.

Worried that something might happen to her, he hurriedly ordered the young servant to go out to inquire. He also ran out hungry, and met a group of people headed to Hutian Kiln.

Seeing that they were chatting passionately, they all wanted to see the little god and the big talent having fun, he immediately understood.

It turned out she was fine.

She just forgot the agreement with him.

This matter is indeed Liang Peiqiu's fault, and she has nothing to refute, she said in a murmur like a mosquito, "I'm sorry, yes, I missed the appointment, I was wrong."

"You don't want to use this trick to send me away. You do this every time. Do you think that if you feel wronged, I will soften my heart and forgive you?"

He used the same trick every time, but he used this trick every time.Wang Yunxian was really annoyed, this time he wanted to make her look good!

"Aren't you in such a hurry to inquire about his situation that you don't even have the time to ask someone to go back and let me know?"

"No, I really didn't think about it at the time."

"Didn't remember? You are full of him, who can you think of?"

"No, I heard that something happened to him, and I was worried for a while, so..."

"He is the young owner of Hutian Kiln, what can happen? Are you concerned? It goes on and on, but caring is messy. Are you still refusing to admit it? All you think about is him!"

Wang Yunxian shook off her hand that was about to go forward to comfort her, and took a few steps back.

Yuan wasn't so annoyed, he was just taking advantage of the situation to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that while talking, he was really chilled.

When he was really angry, his voice was not loud, his face was not red, and he was as calm as a pool of deep water.

He looked at her so calmly, intending to give her another chance to explain, so he asked, "What happened to him?"

Liang Peiqiu lowered her head: "I can't say."

"Even I can't tell?"

"Yunxian, I promised Xu Dadong's family in advance, I..."

"That's enough, there's no need to say any more." He turned around, his eyes full of disappointment.

Ta Xue was sandwiched between the two of them, looking left and right, neighing several times.

Seeing Wang Yunxian's lonely back walking farther and farther away, Liang Peiqiu panicked to the extreme and became annoyed. Regardless of being on the street at this time, she shouted loudly: "What about you? With your sharp eyes and ears, you wouldn't know?"

He already knew that something happened to Xu Zhiliu, right?

Why not say it?
Why hide it from her?
"Aren't you also pretending to be deaf and dumb, and you are tricking me?"

Wang Yunxian paused, then laughed out loud.He laughed more and more, laughing until tears were about to overflow.

What is coaxing?She actually thought that everything she had done to make her happy in the past few days was just for deception?

He wanted to ask, Liang Peiqiu, do you have a heart?

Why do you think I am going to block you at the entrance of Hutian Kiln?It's not for you!I'm afraid that if you are surrounded by people and ask you three or two sentences, your hidden thoughts will be seen through!

At that time, when you are picked up to the ground, how will that fellow look at you?
I'm not afraid of you getting hurt...

How can you understand my good intentions?
You just don't have me in your heart.

*
That night, Wang Yunxian and Liang Peiqiu went back to Anqing Kiln one after the other, and the quarrel between the two on Jingde Street was widely spread, and for a while the story in the teahouse did not know where to start.

The next day Liang Peiqiu went to Hutian Kiln to visit Xu Zhiliu again, and the two talked about Wu Yin.

It stands to reason that Xu Zhiliu made a statement on the inner wall of the big dragon tank and exposed An Nineteen's evil deeds to the emperor. This matter needs to be discussed in the court, and Wu Yin should not have acted in private anyway.

After thinking about it, there was only one possibility, probably because he was afraid that what happened to Pan Xiang in the previous dynasty would repeat itself, and that Xu Zhiliu would become the second kiln god "Tongbin" and cause civil uprisings and cholera, so the emperor made a secret decree.

This decree may not have been passed through the supervisor of ceremonies, but was directly issued by the cabinet and passed on to Wu Yin.

Seeing him acting late at night, it seems that he wants to make big things smaller.For the Hutian kiln, it is even more necessary to respond to the attitude of the superiors, and the stillborn should not be exposed.

Speaking of Wu Yin, Liang Peiqiu couldn't help but think of the way he met on the street that day, the way he looked at Taxue was really interesting.

On the day Zhang Wensi arrived, Wu Yin also attended.

Liang Peiqiu deliberately rode on the snow and tied the snow to the stone lion beside the pier.Observe carefully, sure enough, in the dark crowd, Wu Yin saw Taxue at a glance, his eyes lit up as if he saw his relatives.

She couldn't help but find it funny, as expected, a military officer has a heart, and he loves horses like this, but he is also a man of temperament.

Later, Wu Yin noticed her gaze and nodded to her, and the two made silent eye contact on Treading Snow.

Soon after the incident, Liang Peiqiu received a post from the Inspection Department, inviting him to go to the countryside to train horses together.

She knew that Wu Yin couldn't hold back his mind and wanted to walk in the snow for a while, but she left him alone on the grounds of kiln affairs. After a few days, the inspection department posted another post, and Liang Peiqiu no longer took Qiao, and responded decisively.

However, one of them is the master of the pile in Hutian kiln, and the other is the inspector of the government office. They may be criticized for walking around in private, so they each found a reason to leave the city.

Liang Peiqiu originally wanted to take this opportunity to ease relations with Wang Yunxian, but she didn't want to invite him three times, but Wang Yunxian didn't accept, so she had to lead a few servants out.

Also because of this incident, Liang Peiqiu was not very interested in running horses, but fortunately Wu Yin's car was also a good horse, and she was so excited to see Taxue, which eased some of the unfamiliarity between her and Wu Yin.

Wu Yin didn't talk much, and he was more straightforward. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the Hutian kiln, he was the only one who allowed her to step in again and again. Because he became curious about the relationship between her and Xu Zhiliu, he didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Aren't you and Xu Zhiliu rivals?"

Liang Peiqiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, no, we are more friends."

"Then you know the crime he committed?"

Liang Peiqiu nodded slightly, and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your mercy."

The military officer's sword, it is said to be a sword, can stab anywhere.

Before I saw Wu Yin, I might be lucky enough to see him in person, especially his heroic appearance on a horse. I can basically be sure that if he wants to stab someone to death with a sword, that person will never survive to this day.

Wu Yin was surprised that the so-called "friend" relationship between her and Xu Zhiliu could go so far as to talk about everything?
"Is that what you meant or what he meant?"

Seeing him asking this question, Liang Peiqiu knew that although he was straightforward, he was not stupid, so he didn't hide it: "It's him. It's just that he was injured and couldn't come forward, so he asked me to thank him on his behalf."

Wu Yin raised his eyebrows: "Then it was his idea to lure me here by taking advantage of Taxue?"

Liang Peiqiu nodded.

Wu Yin laughed generously: "What a Xu Zhiliu, he is indeed the little Zhuge in the rumors. You have made such a big circle to ask me out, what is your intention, why don't you just say it outright?"

"Since Mr. Wu said clearly, he should be aware of our worries. What is the court's plan this time?"

Wu Yin shook his head, telling the truth: "When I left the capital, there was no conclusion on this matter. An Nineteen was urgently called back to Beijing to cooperate with the investigation, and we have to wait for the results."

"After so many days, is there no news from the court?"

Wu Yin raised his hand to signal: "Shen Yan, since I have been transferred here, the affairs in Beijing have nothing to do with me. I told you this today because of the great contribution you two have made to Jingdezhen Kiln Industry. If you design me again in the future, I will not show mercy."

After all, he took his own horse and took another look at Taxue who was grazing not far away, his eyes were a little bit reluctant, but he also knew that if he passed the rules today, if he passed it back to Beijing and his father found out, he would have to be punished.

He sighed secretly, turning his head away.

Although this foreign transfer is a secret edict of the emperor, only he knows about it.But his father is the servant of the household department, and he is in charge of personnel transfers. He doesn't know what's going on?

Xu Zhiliu's sword was the result of mediation between his father and the lords, otherwise what he brought would not be a sword, but a cup of poisoned wine.

He told Liang Peiqiu that he didn't know anything about it, but in fact, his son had just received a letter from his father a few days ago. Yang Chenggong was fined for one year's salary for his dereliction of duty.

As for the eunuch party, since Yang Gongping is safe, it means that the civil servants have won a big victory and the eunuch party is at a disadvantage.

An Shijiu, a young eunuch, has already been transferred back to Beijing, so I'm afraid there will be no trouble.

Thinking like this, he rode his horse and walked up the official road. Without turning his head, he just waved his whip far behind him, and raised his voice: "Tell him to take care of his body quickly, and perform his due responsibilities. Don't worry about the rest!"

Since he took on the important task of inspecting the government office, he will have to walk with the mouths of major kilns in the future.Xu Zhiliu has a high prestige among the people, and if he is selling favors, let's make friends.

When Liang Peiqiu heard that sentence, it quickly dissipated in the evening wind of spring.

She smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and tiptoed to rub against the neck of the snow.Taxue snuggled up to her, like a master and servant.

Feeling relieved, Liang Peiqiu grabbed the grass and fed it to Taxue.

Taxue ate most of it in one bite, squinting her big eyes to enjoy the delicious food, but as she chewed, her movements became slower and slower, and she looked at Liang Peiqiu with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Liang Peiqiu felt that something was wrong, and after carefully identifying the remaining small pieces of grass, he found one or two thorny, strange-looking things, let's call them weeds.

Judging by the appearance of stepping on the snow, it should be very bitter.

Her feet moved slightly, and she turned her head to run, but unexpectedly she stepped on the snow faster, and opened her mouth with a "poof".

Liang Peiqiu's face was sprayed like a green melon.

She became angry from embarrassment: "Tread the snow!"

　Only Wang Yunxian was injured.

　　Unzen woo woo woo
