But the bright moon shines on the ditch

"Liangshan hero Ruan Xiaoqi changed his name to Xiao En after the failure of the uprising. He retired to the rivers and lakes, resumed his old business, and fished with his daughter Guiying for a living. He wanted to live in peace, but because the bully Ding Yuanwai colluded with the corrupt official Lu Ziqiu to repeatedly extort fishing taxes. , oppressed the fishermen and couldn't bear it anymore, rose up to resist, beat the teacher, killed Ding Yuan, and left his hometown. This drama exposes the cruel and violent society, and exposes the darkness of mutual protection between officials and officials. The evil forces resist!" Mr. Storyteller patted a gavel, with only a few cheers, and the rest was endless sighs.

Who would have thought that the famous Peking Opera play "Fishing Fishermen and Killing Family" would lose to Yu Ye's "Killing Chickens and Monkeys".

Twenty bangs, how many people witnessed that scene with their own eyes, from then on An Nineteen was followed by a kind of fear and obedience engraved in his bones.

……

Wang Yunxian, who came late, watched Xu Shaodong's family who was a head taller than him everywhere on weekdays. He knelt down in the rainstorm as if he didn't care. Like a fishbone stuck in his throat, he couldn't say anything.

One head, two heads.

Even though the sound of rain rang in his ears, the "boom-boom" that grabbed the ground with his head one after another seemed to be able to penetrate the endless night, go through the long rainy season, go deep into his heart, and bring the ice and snow to melt The coldness made him tremble.

For the first time, he experienced the pain of the skin.

Although the pain did not directly fall on him, like everyone present, he was shrouded in a chilly power, and his whole body seemed to be covered with lice.

The lice gnawed at the ingenuity and porcelain soul engraved in the bones of Jingdezhen people, ate the flesh, sucked the blood, and squeezed them dry bit by bit.

After twenty ringings, the whole world seemed to be silenced, without any sound.

Even the eunuch standing on the high platform and looking down on all living beings fell silent for a moment.

These ignorant pariahs are like ants under his feet, they just give him a little trouble and let him control them.How can such power not make people obsessed?
An Nineteen couldn't help but think back to the night when An Gan took him back from the prison to the Prison of Rituals. In a back room that was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, An Gan whipped him hard with a sheepskin whip. , panting and scolding him for being vulgar and vulgar while rolling up his sleeves.

"You useless thing, you have disgraced my old face. How did your godfather teach you? You must hold a whip when you drive animals. You treat them kindly, but they bully you instead. The more ruthless you are, the more they are afraid of you ... I know they are coming for me, please remember, if someone deceives you once in the future, it will be like bullying me ten times, if you can't protect this face for your godfather, then you don't have to Be a little nineteen, go back to the inner court and continue to be your dog slave. Today's whip is a punishment for a little boy, do you remember?"

Thinking about his prestige now, who can remember him back then?No matter how the world divides them, they are just hard-working performers in their respective Colosseums.

An Jiu seemed to suddenly lose interest, and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, the house slaves and guards also dispersed.

But the wind and rain did not stop that night.

In Wang Yunxian's perception, how could someone like Xu Zhiliu kneel down?Even though he compares himself with others everywhere, he always secretly jokes that he looks like an old man at a young age, and he always puts on a high air wherever he goes, which is really not approachable.

But he accompanied Liang Peiqiu and listened to so many Xu Zhiliu's stories, and he also recognized his talent from the bottom of his heart.Not to mention, the Hutian kiln has been brought up to the present state, and it can be said that Jingdezhen has been brought to the world by one’s own strength, crushing the pattern of the five famous kilns of the previous dynasty going hand in hand. This alone is enough to brag for a lifetime .

However, it was such a person who kowtowed to a eunuch who had no descendants in front of so many people.

That scene happened not far in front of him, and it couldn't be more real, so that every moment made him feel dazzling.

Especially when the group of people headed by An Nineteen retreated and there was still silence between heaven and earth, he felt a deeper, unshakable pain.

How could this be so?He is Xu Zhiliu, the young owner of the world's number one folk kiln, and even more so, a talented Xu Dacai!

Even he can't solve it. Do you want to suffer such humiliation?
If even he...

What about them?What about the people all over the world?

Looking back on this day, in fact, all kinds of predictions had been made for a long time. It is not that Wang Yunxian did not expect this result.

When the wooden door "squeaked" sounded behind him, Pei Qiu asked him why he was here, and he pretended to make a fool of it, and when she really didn't suspect it, he thought about how Pei Qiu would blame him after the incident failed, and even thought about it. She finished her speech, but she didn't say anything, she just fell down on a rainy night like a kite that had lost its only support.

When he watched her absent-minded and unhappy all day, he must be thinking about the case of Xu Zhiliu's younger brother, and when he came to report to the concierge, he refused Xu Zhiliu's request out of selfishness without thinking, he guessed Until she learns the truth, she may break with him.But he never thought that the "breakup" he thought would become the beginning of their final slide into the abyss, and it would become a moment that he still dare not say a word after many years.

When he tied the Wang family to the firewood room, but paid attention to sending someone to watch Xu Zhiliu's every move, and learned about his whole day's experience, he expected Xu Zhiliu to be desperate, heartbroken, and even destroyed. He used his dignity to save his only younger brother, but he didn't expect that the revenge An Nineteen wanted would be such a rainy night of "killing chickens to scare monkeys".

What he couldn't even imagine was that those big families he thought he knew in the past tried their best to curry favor with the big shopkeepers of Xu Shaodong's family, but such a small show in the hands of the eunuch made them completely different.

As for him, hasn't he also become a "monkey" in the repertoire who can only watch but can't do anything?What's the difference between him and those people, and his despised father?
When he suffered from the torment of his conscience because of this, and when Pei Qiu discovered and cared about his thoughts at dinner, his heart was once again severely condemned, so he evasively talked about him, until the boy came to report, When he called him aside with the same furtive look as him, the "door" behind him creaked open again.

Pei Qiu's calm and unwavering voice sounded. He expected the failure, but he was relieved for no reason, and suddenly felt a sad feeling that the dust had settled.

However, was he already considered pathetic at that time?

He couldn't stop thinking about that scene, when he turned his head, Liang Peiqiu's shadow was covered by verdant green trees.He was stunned for a moment, and the weak and indestructible little flower in the past seemed to have grown into a big tree without knowing it.

He subconsciously wanted to lie, struggling to save himself as a last resort, but she just looked at him calmly.

Looking at it, he lost all courage.

He was silent for a long time, and finally told the truth.But before he finished explaining the whole story of the Wang family, she disappeared beside the tree.

After that, he was terrified, afraid to face it, thought about many situations, and finally came with heavy steps, and then, everything was beyond imagination.

Pei Qiu didn't blame him, didn't question him, didn't quarrel and break up as expected, and didn't even look at him.

She just said: "You send the prisoner to Hutian Kiln and leave it to him."

Xu Zhiliu has already been humiliated, what's the use of the Wang family's real culprit who undoubtedly came late for him?Wang Yunxian wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be blocked by rain.

He tried many times before he could make his own voice, bluntly, a little stunned: "You...Aren't you going to see him?"

She shook her head.

Wang Yunxian panicked for a moment, and fell down beside her, not knowing whether it was tears or rain running down her face: "Peiqiu, blame me, hit me, scold me, whatever you want, I was wrong, I was really wrong Yes! I shouldn't have kept it from you, I should have told you sooner. If, if I could be earlier, Xu Zhiliu wouldn't be able to..."

"It's none of your business."

In other words, the result has little to do with Wang Yunxian, because this is not something he or they can decide.When An Jiu returned to Jingdezhen, there were too many speculations behind it, and if he wanted to get rid of his worries in one fell swoop, he would definitely step on his biggest enemy——Xu Zhiliu, trample on his spine, obliterate his pride, and destroy his righteousness.

He wants honest scholars to bow their heads to power officials.

It requires tens of thousands of people to watch, and it is necessary to kill one to serve as an example to others.

He did it.

No matter what, Xu Zhiliu will be humiliated.

Even if the Wang family was sent to the government office in advance, the result would be to add Zhang Wensi alone to participate in the performance.Without this one, there will be another one.

Wang Yunxian asked Wang Yu afterwards why Xu Zhiliu was the only one, but Wang Yu didn't know how to explain it.

He just said that there must be people like Xu Zhiliu in this world, so that there will be the so-called peaceful and prosperous world that everyone yearns for.

These people can be called "predecessors". They paved the way for future generations with blood and tears. They are written in history books and must be remembered from generation to generation.

Wang Yunxian asked, "Isn't that a saint?"

Wang Yu laughed at him: "You still know about saints." Then he nodded, as if talking to himself, "He is a saint, and he is also a Bodhisattva."

Wang Yunxian actually doesn't quite understand what Xu Zhiliu wants to do, what he wants, but he has seen the scene of the rainy night with his own eyes, so it is impossible for there to be no waves.

He told Wang Yu that he wanted to do something in the Anqing kiln, but Wang Yu didn't stop him. It's just that he didn't know anything about the porcelain industry, but he didn't know much about it.

The gentleman in charge of the accounting room is named Siliu, and he is Wang Yu's capable housekeeper.

Wang Yu said to Siliu: "Don't treat him as your master. He is just an errand runner under your hands. If you can use it, you can use it. If you can't use it, send him away. But I asked him to come over because I sincerely want him to learn something. You Just teach with your heart, don't be so stubborn about beating and scolding, I will cover everything for you. I will come to check and accept after three months, if he fails, he is my son and cannot leave my house, but you can leave."

This last sentence was said in front of Wang Yunxian.The meaning is also very clear, if Wang Yunxian didn't learn anything, it must be that Siliu, a master, didn't put his heart into it, so he didn't need to stay in Anqing Kiln.

In this way, Wang Yunxian got a glimpse of Wang Yu's side not as a father, but as a big boss in charge of hundreds of people.

Then, he, who had always disrespected the kiln gods and didn't believe in ghosts and gods, gradually believed in Bodhisattvas.

He told Liang Peiqiu that, in fact, there is a bodhisattva living in everyone's heart, but some people's bodhisattva is a real bodhisattva, while some people's bodhisattva is another self.

Who is the Bodhisattva in your heart?
**
One day in early July, Anan was going back to his hometown.

When Shi Nian got off the carriage, he waited aside to talk to Zhang Lei, explaining all the matters after returning to his hometown.

This time, the son's younger brother was tortured in prison, and his health has not recovered yet.Xu Zhiliu took him back to Yunshuijian for a few days, and after the doctor saw that the skin had started to scab, Xu Zhiliu let him go back to his hometown.

But after this battle, who dares to be careless?After Xu Zhiliu and Xu Zhong asked for instructions, they specially sent Zhang Lei to accompany them.

Zhang Lei went in and out of the Hutian kiln on weekdays, and he could be regarded as Xu Zhiliu's right-hand man. He was restrained, reticent, and a reliable person.Xu Zhiliu is in charge of almost all external matters, but internally it has been a long time.

Although he was a half-grown child at that time, he had a careful mind. After recalling the details explained by the doctor one by one, he wrote them down without hesitation, and carefully handed them over to Zhang Lei.

"You must take good care of the young master according to the doctor's instructions. If, if something goes wrong with him again, I'm afraid the young master will..." Shi Nian flattened his mouth and choked on the words that came to his mouth.

Zhang Lei understood what he meant, and patted him on the shoulder: "I will, you can rest assured, young master."

"And Mrs. Xu's condition..."

"Young Master has already explained to me, you are still a kid, so don't be so nervous."

Where can I not be nervous?They presided over the affairs of the outer court, just seeing that the young master was no different from usual, he still handled the kiln affairs every day, devoted himself to it, and seemed not to be affected by the eunuch at all.But as a servant in the house, how can he not know that the young master has not slept peacefully in the past few days since the rainy night.

Every time he lay in the outer room, hearing the rustling of the clothes inside, he couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears of grievance, let alone the young master himself?

Who can bear such a shame and humiliation?Even Xu Zhiliu, who is famous on the right side of the river, is only 22 years old.

Hutian kiln is such a big family, and there are too many daily chores to count. Before dawn, they have to meet with the steward, and they have to go in and out of porcelain shops, red shops, and docks to communicate with all kinds of people.Who can guarantee that each of them can keep their mouths open, and not break their mouths in front of the young master or show a look of inquisitiveness?

Those actions fell into the eyes of the young master, how could he not be touched at all?
Anyway, I didn't believe it at the time. The young master is a person, not a plant, so he has carefully managed the inside and outside. Zhang Lei was influenced by him, so he had to face it squarely.

He looked at the two figures not far away under the pavilion, and didn't know what they were talking about. Although the two were brothers of the same mother, their expressions seemed to be particularly strange.

Xu Zhiliu earnestly reminded him a lot, but Anan kept his head down and remained silent.He was a little helpless, and he didn't know how to get close to his brother, he hesitated to speak repeatedly, and finally sighed.

When he stopped, Anan glanced back at the carriage, then slowly retracted his gaze.

"The first time I rode in a carriage, it was taken by the Yacha, and I was locked in a prison cart and escorted here. Those people beat me or scolded me along the way. I suppressed my anger and thought about who the hell would dare to frame me Me, when I escape smoothly, he can't afford to walk around."

But to this day, he was locked up, beaten and beaten, and the prisoner confessed, but he still doesn't know who was behind his back, or his brother.

He asked, "What did you do to be calculated like this?"

Xu Zhiliu shook his head, not wanting to explain his past with An Jiu, he just said: "A'nan, I'm sorry, I dragged you down."

By saying this, he is acknowledging that the matter started with him.

Anan's voice was faint, neither anger nor other emotions could be seen on his face, he just looked at the gray sky in the distance: "When you were doing things, did you ever think that you and I are brothers, and one day it will hurt me ?”

Xu Zhiliu remained silent.

It was he who underestimated An Nineteen and the influence of the eunuch Yu Chaotang.What's more, he underestimated the power.

No matter what, Anan was affected because of him, and he really cannot absolve himself of the blame.

"Anan, I won't do it in the future."

"Don't think about me, but also about mother. If you do this again, I'm afraid you and I won't have mother."

After a long time, Xu Zhiliu nodded and said, "Okay."

The two brothers were silent for a while, Xu Zhiliu saw that the weather was not good, and wanted to say that he should start early, but he didn't want Anan to interrupt him: "How did you find the prisoner? Because the prisoner obeyed the law, the dog officer agreed to let me go?"

These days he was recuperating in the clouds and water, and he didn't say a word about his feelings. Xu Zhiliu thought he didn't care, but he didn't expect to ask out again before he left.

Looking at his expression, it doesn't look like he heard something from somewhere suddenly, he seems curious, but he doesn't seem to be very curious.Xu Zhiliu looked at him quietly for a moment, and said, "Everything has been taken care of, so don't worry."

Anan laughed and looked at him: "Are you still treating me like a three-year-old kid?"

"Anan."

"When are you going back to Yaoli?"

Xu Zhiliu paused slightly.

Anan saw something, and laughed again: "Mother is still waiting for you, if you have time, go back and see her." After that, Xu Zhiliu didn't need to speak, and strode forward.

There was a strong wind on the high ground, which made his robes rattle.

The body that was tightly wrapped by the strong wind did not show any hidden injuries, but only the vigorous tension of youth.

Xu Zhiliu couldn't help but think of his little brother when he was young. Although he was weak at that time, he was exceptionally well-behaved. He was often hugged by his elder brother with a big grin, and the drool almost soaked his sleeve.

At this moment, the young man who seemed to have grown up overnight suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Brother!"

Xu Zhiliu was stunned for a moment, met his gaze, and only heard the boy's voice Lang Lang: "I want to study."

"Why, why?" Xu Zhiliu choked up for a moment.

Anan shrugged indifferently: "There is no particular reason, I just want to find something to do. Didn't you always expect me to become a talent? Why, it's too late for me to want to study now, is it too late?"

"No, you are determined to learn, it's never too late."

There are many people who are still in the imperial examination at the age of 70. He is only fourteen and has a bright future.It's just that he never liked reading.

Xu Zhiliu murmured, "Do you want revenge?"

Anan grinned.

This appearance was almost exactly the same as the little brother in Xu Zhiliu's memory, so that he was dazed and couldn't hear what Anan said for a while.When I wanted to ask again, the young man had strode away.

What he doesn't know is that young people are not as idle as he imagined, in fact, he is indeed a material for reading, and has always been good at reading, but if he behaves well in everything and works diligently How could the elder brother who almost forgot to eat and sleep take the time to notice him?

Zhang Lei raised his whip, and the horseshoes rattled in the forest.

In the carriage, the young man was no longer the foolish person he was before, his jaw was tight, his expression was stern, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and a crystal teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye in an imperceptible place.

Make up and make up, this is an important dividing point.

As I said before, this is a group play. At present, it is mainly about the growth of Xu Zhiliu, Liang Peiqiu and Wang Yunxian. There will also be Anan's line, but because he does not participate in the affairs of the porcelain industry, he can only start the magic of time.

There will be some Harriers growing up later.

In fact, I want to write more about the growth line of girls, but everyone knew at that time that women were bound in the back house, and some processes in the ceramics industry could be assigned to women, but like the kiln mouth, which is revered by men and gods, it is not It is a taboo to allow women to come in and out.In order to try my best to restore the status quo of the ancient porcelain industry, the female part was weakened, but in fact, Peiqiu disguised herself as a man and became a rare little god in a century, which is already a big golden finger.
