The story of a noble girl

Chapter 33 The Porcelain Burner
When everything wakes up, when it turns warm and cold, the soil is wet all over the mountains and fields, the weeds are tender, the trees are sprouting, and the buds are blooming.

The gentleman whom magistrate Hu promised to deliver arrived as scheduled.

The husband was placed in the first row of brick houses, the one closest to the well, with newly made furniture, soft and thick quilts, new quilts neatly folded, and a dark blue chrysanthemum pillow.A village woman surnamed Lu was sent to take care of her husband's food and daily life. The monthly money was paid by the village public, and a new charcoal stove was installed in the husband's main room. To show respect and respect for Mr.

Mr. Lu, about 40 years old, looks like a poor scholar, but his style is not poor. When it comes to learning, he is upright and awe-inspiring, and the only attitude in the world is that learning is respected.I am quite satisfied with the living treatment that Taocun gave him.It is said that Mr. Lu was born in a peasant family, but he was a classmate of the teacher. He could take the imperial examination and get an official position with his knowledge, but because his family was poor, he opened a private school to make money to supplement his family.It has been open since it was opened, and now it has long looked down on fame and fortune, and only imparts knowledge with peace of mind. The family lives in a village near the capital. With this year's 30 taels of silver, it repairs the old house and buys a few acres of good land.

Mr. Lu has a rigorous style of work and strict teaching. A wooden ruler emits a majestic dim light, which makes people feel chills when looking at it.

Lin Xiaoning asked someone to tidy up the school, and also set up a few charcoal stoves to keep the dolls warm in class.Mr. Lu is responsible for the heating of the school and the trivial matters of living with the husband.

As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, boys from four to ten years old in the village sat together in the school, and there were more than 60 of them.

On the first day of class, Mr. Lu slapped the palms of more than a dozen students, causing the children to cry and shout that they would never learn to read again.

But the village head got an order from Lin Xiaoning, announcing: those who don't send their babies to school should not come to work in workshops and brick kilns.So the next day, the dolls had to come to class crying.

After a few days, the male dolls were full of awe when they saw Mr. like a mouse seeing a cat.

There are also 60 NO.[-] students in the women's school. There is no age limit for the students, and women can also come. Xiaoxiang is the female teacher, and the monthly silver is one tael. It is sponsored by Lin Xiaoning.Xiaoxiang was proud of her face, and asked Carpenter Li to cut a ruler, and pretended to wave the ruler, teaching literacy and arithmetic.There is no paper on the table in the girls' school, only a plate of sand and a branch.

That's enough. It is impossible for a dynasty's rules to be completely subverted. At least it would be good for girls to learn to use words and arithmetic.Lin Xiaoning thought.

All the women in the village work in the cotton towel workshop in three shifts.Now there are many orders for cotton towels from other counties.We had to expand the drying yard and a large drying room to ensure smooth shipments even in rainy days.

After the beginning of spring, Grandma Fu went to the county town to look at the shop with Aunt Li. Because Aunt Li could see her son from time to time in the county town, and with the addition of one and a half taels of silver, her life was very nourishing.Seeing that people grow up well, they are not as ugly as before, and even a little pleasing to the eye.

The delivery was replaced by a man surnamed Xiao. The brothers Wang Gang, Wang Yong, and Lin Jiadong devoted all their energy to the brick kiln, while Mr. Lin continued to lead the men to open up wasteland...

Lin Xiaoning and Xiaoxiang also learned how to ride a horse.In Taocun, there are hundreds of families and surnames, and they are all farmers. There are not as many rules and regulations as in the Shenzhai compound, which has given Lin Xiaoning great convenience.

Wangzai likes to run around since the beginning of spring, and now his hair is white and shiny, like a little fox fairy in the legend, so unreal.Running around all over the mountain all day long, he would bring back some fruits or herbs that Lin Xiaoning didn't know, and Lin Xiaoning would plant them in the space.

Every evening at dusk, Lin Xiaoning would call out from the foot of the mountain: "Wangzai is coming home..." In two quarters of an hour, Wangzai would be able to go home and plunge into her arms.She didn't think that her voice at the bottom of the mountain could be like the evening drum and morning bell, anyway, as long as she yelled, Wangzai would appear within a quarter of an hour. Wangzai has aura, and she can hear her voice everywhere.Lin Xiaoning thought so.

******
Lin Xiaoning ran to the hill next to his 3000 mu of land, dug out a pile of soil, packed it in a small cloth bag, then went to the brick kiln to call Wang Gang out furtively, and whispered, "Wang Gang, take this bag of soil and go Find a master who burns porcelain and ask if you can make porcelain, and if you can, bring the master back."

There must be a bandit inside Wang Gang's body. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he replied, "Miss Don't worry, Wang Gang will never return empty-handed."

Lin Xiaoning smiled approvingly, handed over a bank note of one hundred taels, and said, "Good Wang Gang, pack up after lunch and set off, go early and return early."

This time the porcelain burner came obediently, and when he asked him to look at the soil, he said that this bag of soil could be used to make porcelain. When he was asked to come, he agreed without saying a word, and he also packed up his clothes, shoes, socks and other things.

That's how I came to Peach Village.

So simple?Lin Xiaoning wondered, isn't this kind of craftsman always very tempered, is there any secret method that is not passed on to the outside world?How can you go with someone so easily.Full of doubts, Lin Xiaoning asked the porcelain firing master to be placed next door to Mr. Lu.

The name of the porcelain firing master was Zheng, and Lin Xiaoning thought about it for a long time before going to see Master Zheng.

Master Zheng looked older than Mr. Lin, with a gray beard and creases on his face that were carved out by knives. He was warming up the fire in the room, while Mrs. Lu was busy heating the kang.Although it is spring, such precious masters and gentlemen cannot cut off the charcoal stove and hot kang.

Lin Xiaoning stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Zheng, I am the second miss of the Lin family, you can call me Ning girl from now on."

Master Zheng went straight to the point, opened the bag of soil on the table and asked, "Where did you get this soil?"

"Just the soil on the mountain over there, this soil can be used to make porcelain, right?"

"Yes, and it's celadon soil. It can show a slight green color after being coated with white glaze. It's very beautiful. It's the best soil. There is such a good soil in Taocun. It doesn't take me, Old Zheng, to come here."

"How dare you do that." Lin Xiaoning suddenly realized.I thought again: Red clay fired bricks are blue bricks, and porcelain fired is celadon. I laughed so hard, alas, I can't learn these knowledge.

In this way, Master Zheng also lived in Taocun.

When Master Zheng looked at the barren hills beside the 3000 mu of land, he was so amazed that he couldn't speak.

When Master Zheng looked at the squatting pit drawn by Lin Xiaoning, his whole body was trembling.

When Master Zheng heard that this was an improved latrine, he stood up unbearably and pointed at Lin Xiaoning, glaring at him and scolding angrily: "I am a great porcelain maker, come here and use this good soil to burn the latrine, You, you, you... such a shame, a shame..." Master Zheng pointed at Lin Xiaoning coughing and trembling.

Lin Xiaoning was terrified when he saw Master Zheng getting so angry, and dared to step forward and stroke his chest and back. After a long time, Master Zheng spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm before he regained his strength.Lin Xiaoning rushed over to look at the bloody sputum as if seeing a gold nugget.

Master Zheng saw Lin Xiaoning looking left and right at his bloody phlegm, shook his head in despair, and was about to pack up and leave, staggered to the edge of the kang and passed out.
