Enter the Room

  Chapter 87

   Song Jiyun was taken aback.

  She looked up and saw Eunuch Wan's furious face.

   "Open the kiln!" He sneered, "After two hours? Are you sure you can deliver the goods?"

  Song Jiyun instantly understood.

   During this period of time, rumors and rumors were flying around the Songjia Kiln Factory.

The clay was not bought; the kiln worker ran away; the first kiln fired by her as the owner only produced five finished products; the Hong family sent charcoal in a desperate situation, and finally sent a few pieces of clay to their family, but they could not deliver from the kiln factory. It's been five days...

  Eunuch Wan has heard the rumors and thinks she won't be able to deliver? Or did someone whisper something in his ear?

She calmly stepped forward, bowed her knees to bow to Eunuch Wan, and said, "My lord, nothing cannot be accomplished without faith, and business cannot prosper without faith. My father often taught us sisters these few words before he was alive. Since I have inherited my father and left I should abide by my father's teachings. Just rest assured that the kiln will deliver the goods before midnight tonight!"

  Eunuch Wan obviously didn't believe it, and said aggressively, "What if we can't deliver the goods?"

   "I will let the adults handle it!" Song Jiyun said firmly.

  Eunuch Wan looked at Song Jiyun in surprise, leaned slowly on the back of the grand master's chair, and said, "Do you know what will happen if you can't deliver the goods?"

   It's just that his words just fell, before Song Jiyun could speak, Xiaoqi from the guard came in with him and said, "My lord, Miss Song's uncle, Song Daliang, please see me!"

  Song Jiyun was taken aback.

  Eunuch Wan looked at Song Jiyun with great interest, and told Xiaoqi: "Let him in!"

  Song Daliang walked in following the small flag with his general belly out.

"Lord Wan!" He knelt down on the ground with a plop, saluted Eunuch Wan, and said, "Young Song Daliang. I heard that my eldest niece failed to burn the sacrificial white porcelain within the agreed time. I'm here to rescue my eldest niece."

   Song Jiyun couldn't hide his surprise.

   Superintendent Tao Guanzheng fifth grade.

  It is higher than the average county magistrate.

  She never knew that her uncle had such courage.

  She looked towards Mr. Wan.

  Eunuch Wan raised his eyebrows, made Song Daliang stand up, and said with great interest, "How are you going to rescue your eldest niece?"

  Song Daliang looked serious, and said: "My lord, my second brother passed away suddenly. My niece is still young, and I want to prove that she can manage the property left by my second brother. I will inevitably act impatiently..."

He first slandered Song Jiyun with something in his words, and then said: "I happen to have a small kiln factory, and the craftsmanship of the kiln master is not bad. The secret recipe for offering sacrifices to white porcelain is not a secret in our Song family, so I tried it. One kiln, fortunately, it’s finished. I thought, she can’t deliver the goods here, please give me the grace to help her deliver the goods.”

Song Jiyun's face sank when he heard this, and he said sharply: "Uncle, when will I not be able to deliver the goods? Since when did the recipe of sacrificial white porcelain become a secret known to the Song family? And the sacrificial white porcelain, you said? Burn it out? In front of Mr. Wan, what can be said and what can't be said, you as an elder, you have to weigh it carefully, don't make a joke!"

  Song Daliang didn't even look at Song Jiyun, he cupped his hands at Eunuch Wan, and said, "What you say is not proven, but the real thing proves it. My lord, please allow me to call my entourage in!"

  Eunuch Wan said casually: "Then call people in!"

  Song Daliang's two attendants were both runaways from Song Jiyun's kiln factory, and each came in with a red lacquer and gold brocade box of wenge wood. When they saw Song Jiyun, they lowered their eyelids uncomfortably before standing still in front of Eunuch Wan.

  Song Daliang opened the brocade box himself: "My lord, look!"

  All eyes in the hall fell on the brocade box.

   Inside the bright red camphor velvet, lay a pair of white porcelain gall-style plum vases.

  The plum vase is beautiful in shape, elegant and clean, with a slight shine like ivory.

  This is exactly the characteristic of the white porcelain offered by the Song family.

  Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and some even whispered: "How could this be?"

  Song Daliang glanced at everyone with his head held high, and gave one of the plum vases to Eunuch Wan: "This is one of the pair of plum vases I burned. Take a look, is it good enough for the imperial standard?"

  Eunuch Wan picked it up, looked at it, and praised: "Not bad! I didn't expect you to be able to make porcelain!"

  Song Daliang immediately said: "I'm the elder brother, so it's not easy to compete with the younger brothers. If my eldest niece is not too worrying, I wouldn't be in the limelight!"

  Eunuch Wan waved at Song Jiyun and said, "You come and see it too! Your uncle's skills are no worse than your father's!"

  Song Jiyun looked at the two people who were singing together, and didn't understand anything.

   No wonder her uncle dared to blatantly compete with her for the order of the Royal Kiln Factory. It turned out that he had already got the support of Eunuch Wan.

  A sharpness flashed in her eyes, and she took the plum vase.

  The glaze on the plum vase is delicate, even better than the sacrificial white porcelain fired when her father was alive.

  Experts who know about the white porcelain offered by the Song Family can tell at a glance that the craftsmanship has been improved.

  That's why her uncle is so confident.

   But how did her uncle do it?

   Song Jiyun became more and more confused as he watched.

When Song Daliang saw it, he couldn't hide his pride, and said to her: "I know you want to inherit the family business. But there are some things that you can't achieve just by thinking about it. You have to have that kind of luck and ability. You should accept your fate when you should accept it." !"

He also turned around and smiled at Eunuch Wan: "My lord, would you like to visit my kiln? Although my kiln is not as big as that of my eldest niece, but my side is closer to Zhushan, and the trees are shady." , the scenery is better. You just told us what kind of patterns we need to burn."

  Eunuch Wan looked very excited.

Song Jiyun hurriedly said: "My lord, our kiln will be released soon. Is it our family's sacrificial white porcelain that is fired better, or my uncle's sacrificial white porcelain? There is no comparison. , say what is fair and reasonable.”

  Eunuch Wan was unmoved, and obviously favored Song Daliang.

Song Jiyun pointed to the mouths of the pair of plum vases and said, "Look, my lord, the openings here are square and square, with clear curves. It looks fine at first glance, but when you look closely, it seems too crafty and ruins the shape." The curve of the plum vase has been broken. Either the master who erected the billet is not good at aesthetics, or the master who is drawing the billet is not good at craftsmanship. The adults in the Imperial Supervision Office have seen a lot of good things. I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass such porcelain. "

  Eunuch Wan took a closer look, and it was really like this.

  He hesitated.

  Song Daliang suddenly became anxious.

  Finally, if Song Jiyun stops him, he will never have such a good opportunity again!

He couldn't help but said loudly: "Song Jiyun, don't be picky. I can at least make sacrificial white porcelain, how about you? Don't think that the mud sent by the Hong family will be enough. What formula is there in the jade mud? Whether you got it or not, you and I both know. Today I will leave my talk here, if you can burn better white porcelain than my pair of plum vases, I will give you this pair of plum vases! "

  Song Jiyun disagreed: "What do I want your plum vase for? It's not a good thing!"

Song Daliang was eager to win back Eunuch Wan's favor, his mind was buzzing, and he said, "Do you dare to bet with me? If you burn a better sacrificial white porcelain than my pair of plum vases, I will give it to you in front of everyone." Kowtow three times! If you don't burn it out, give me this kiln!"
