The lady is busy farming

Chapter 435 Dingyang Kiln Factory
"Miss Nangong, the master is already in the carriage."

When Qiangwei was distracted, Dongfeng appeared in front of her eyes, "Master has already set up the chess game, just in time to play a game of chess on the road."

"Really? That's okay, I'm not lonely anymore." With the support of Lian Xin Heru, Qiangwei got into Xuanyuan Yun's carriage.He Ru and Lian Xin followed Dong Feng to the front of the car shaft.

When the carriage started to start, Qiangwei watched Xuanyuan Yun bring out a few Xiaodie snacks from the hidden compartment next to her, and lined them up on the tea table one by one, "I just bought it from Lanyue Building, try it, it's still warm. "

It turned out that he came late to buy pastries, "I just ate breakfast and put it away for a long time, how can I eat it." Although Qiangwei said so, she still picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and threw it into her mouth. Tired, after eating the pastries of Lanyuelou, it will be boring to eat other things.

As soon as she got out of the city gate, Qiangwei looked out from the small window, because it was winter, there was a bleak scene everywhere, except for the occasional bird nests on the branches, there was nothing else.After walking for about an hour, Qiangwei saw a ten-mile pavilion, which can be regarded as a resting place for passers-by.After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I arrived in front of a big iron gate, guarded by officers and soldiers on both sides, which looked quite strict.

"This is the official kiln under the direct jurisdiction of the Yamen. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. The current kiln head is named Liu Mingkun, and he can be regarded as the seventh grade, but he has no real power." When he arrived at the kiln, Xuanyuan Yun said suddenly.

As Xuanyuan Yun's carriage approached, someone stepped forward to inquire, and Dongfeng took out a waist card from his arms and handed it over.The soldier guarding the gate immediately opened the gate courteously.

"Master, we're here." Dongfeng parked the carriage in an empty small square, opened the door,

Xuanyuan Yun jumped out of the car, and as soon as he helped Qiangwei get off, he saw a person running from a distance, maybe he had just received a letter, and rushed over in a row, even the hat on his head was crooked, look It's kind of funny.

"Your official greets you late, and please ask Prince Yun to absolve you." As he spoke, he lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down.

"Lord Liu is free of courtesy, the prince is just looking at it casually. On the contrary, it hinders Lord Liu's work." Xuanyuan Yun stepped forward directly, flirting, and said politely.

"I don't dare, but Prince Yun can come and guide in person, and the Ding Kiln Factory will be full of brilliance." Liu Kun nodded and bowed politely, as if he had just noticed Qiangwei standing next to him, and quickly put on a smiling face and asked politely: "This girl?"

"This is Miss Nangong. She has always been curious about how the teacup is made, so the prince brought his cousin to have a look." Xuanyuan Yun explained with a smile, and did not mean to hide anything.

"Oh, that's how it is. Girls from Nangong are welcome to visit at any time. Today just happened to be a batch of tea cups that just came out of the kiln yesterday and are being put into storage. Why don't you two follow the officials to have a look?" Calling this girl cousin, I probably know her identity in my heart.

I also heard that girls like teacups, and you can know the elegance by listening to the sound. Liu Kun has not been in charge of the kiln factory for a day or two, so he still has this thought.

"Okay, thank you Master Liu." Qiangwei responded with a smile, very satisfied with Liu Kun's performance.At first glance, it looks like an old fritter in the officialdom.

"Please, two," Liu Kun tidied up his official uniforms, turned sideways and led Xuanyuan Yun and Qiangwei to the row of houses in front, "This warehouse is used to store some utensils that have just come out of the kiln. Afterwards, it will be transported to the warehouse of the Imperial City to complete the whole procedure."

"Further, there are several kilns. Each kiln produces some porcelain on a regular basis, and there are professional masters guarding it. Some houses on the left are the places where craftsmen work. Everyone has handed down craftsmanship. The courtyard is convenient for the masters to create."

Liu Kun didn't wait for Xuanyuan Yun to ask, and told the whole layout of the kiln truthfully. Generally, kilns rarely come to noble people.Disgusted by the mess, those who have a certain status will directly ask for whatever they want, and before they come, the people above have already delivered it to them.

A prince like Xuanyuan Yun was the first to come to such a messy place, so Liu Kun was still very excited, no matter what the purpose of coming, as long as someone pays attention to this place.It also lets people know how the exquisite porcelain in their hands was made.

"It's here, it's a bit messy, and I hope you two will take care of it," Liu Kun explained when he walked to the door of the warehouse. The items just shipped out of the kiln have not been cleaned, which affects the aesthetics to some extent.

"Master Liu, you're welcome. The prince knows a little about the situation of the kiln factory. You have worked hard." Xuanyuan Yun didn't care about these things.

"It's not hard work, this is the duty of the next official." Liu Kun's heart felt hot when he heard it, he didn't expect Prince Yun to be so easy to talk to.He is in this position, belonging to a small department under the Ministry of Rites, not an important department at all, as long as he burns some porcelain and sacrificial vessels according to the requirements of the above every year.

Therefore, he has always lived cautiously, relying on others, and this is the first time anyone cares about them.

That is, in the past few years, the Lord likes to drink tea, so the Ministry of Rites entrusted the task of firing tea utensils to Dingyang Kiln Factory. As time passed, everyone agreed that the porcelain produced here was the best.Some dignitaries want good tea utensils, and they will spend a lot of money without mercy.

Just selling out porcelain is a big income for the Ministry of Rites.Therefore, every time it comes out of the kiln, the Ministry of Rites will directly send someone to take over.The rest has nothing to do with him, as long as he makes the accounts for the storage.Although he hasn't achieved much in the past few years, he can be considered conscientious and dare not neglect.He had to deal with some high-spirited officials frequently, but he never expected a prince to be so polite to him, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel any emotion.

Qiangwei and Xuanyuan Yun came to this temporary warehouse and looked at the various tea utensils on the shelves, all the gaiwans were on a shelf, all the porcelain pots were on the shelf, and there were some tea cups... ····In short, there are quite a lot of flower samples, and the categories have been marked.

"Are these just out of the kiln? Very delicate orchid porcelain." Qiangwei gently picked up a tureen. The enamel is bright, thin and transparent, and it is really good with exquisite hand-painted orchids.

"Miss Hui Nangong, these are the newly released orchid bowls. The tire quality is thin glaze, clear and free of impurities." Liu Kun looked at Qiangwei and liked the bowls very much, and immediately introduced them diligently.
