Chapter 144: Perseverance
Qu Xiaobai salivated and smiled, "I fell asleep in the carriage, and I couldn't sleep when I tossed in the morning, and I didn't have anything to do, so I came to the official kiln to have a look." ”
"You...... Really, let me say you're good! ”
"My brother is a scholar, so he is naturally a scholar with two sleeves, but my brother is just a businessman, a businessman, and his body should naturally emit the smell of copper."
"Can you not be hippie smiley?"
"I just made a business, don't you laugh, do you cry?"
"In my opinion, where are you doing business, and along the way, you have spent money on the net outside, where do you still earn money at home?"
"There are people who make quick money and those who make slow money, but I have chosen a long-term path. I can't wait. Brother, you don't sleep in the inn, what are you doing here? ”
"Looking for you." Yang Chun's anger has not subsided, and his tone is still angry.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, my brother, can my brother invite you to eat something delicious?" Qu Xiaobai jumped forward and said, "Brother, I met a ...... today Well, I think we should have a common language with you. ”
Yang Chun's appetite was hoisted by her and followed her footsteps: "What person? ”
In fact, his so-called anger, although it can be regarded as real anger, is more worried about her, she is fine, and his anger disappears. Those angry actions were just done to show her, as a warning to her not to go out alone in the future, in case of danger, like yesterday, what should she do?
Qu Xiaobai said: "His name is Su Si, and he is a kiln supervisor. Originally, I wanted to ask him to help me make some porcelain bottled wine, but he resolutely refused, saying that the court has regulations, and the craftsmen of the official kiln are not allowed to take private work, brother, in fact, what is the court like now, you know better than me, which of the kiln supervisors of the official kiln in Jingzhen does not guard and steal? In fact, these have nothing to do with us, in troubled times, self-protection is still difficult, and where can we manage others? As for me, I just think that his attitude towards porcelain is really good. ”
Yang Chun raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's a good way? ”
"First of all, his craftsmanship is good, don't you see, the pen in his hand is like a magic pen, but his pen is a little bit, the green mountains and beautiful waters, it is simply lifelike; Secondly, it is his craftsman spirit, treating his own works, striving for excellence, and cherishing them more than his own children. ”
"There are really not many such people now. It seems that you didn't do this business with him? ”
"If he agrees to do business with me, will I be able to say that?"
"Looks like your friends don't want to do it with you, right?"
Qu Xiaobai glanced at him and rolled his eyes: "You guessed right again." ”
"I'm not going to give up, though. If he doesn't agree, I'll live in Jingzhen and not leave. When he agrees, when I finish. ”
Yang Chun twitched the corners of his mouth: "...... You're amazing. ”
Yang Chun said that she was fat, and she really gasped: "Don't look at who I Qu Xiaobai is." ”
"Come on, it's noon, you should be hungry, right? Hurry up and find a restaurant to eat. ”
"No, I'm going to take a shower first. It was so hot near this porcelain kiln that I was steamed off five catties of water. ”
As he spoke, he had already left the porcelain market, and passed by those shops, Qu Xiaobai saw the exquisite porcelain placed inside from the open door, and sighed lightly: "Actually, many shops on this street are dealing in official kiln things, and the court strictly ordered the defective products from the official kiln to be smashed, but here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the kiln workers can't support the old and young, so they can only do some risky things." ”
"Then why don't you order in this shop, but go to the official kiln? Is it because the price of the store is high? ”
"No, it's not. It's all defective products in the store, and what I ask for is the same quality as the one in the palace. ”
Yang Chun looked at her in surprise: "Isn't that expensive?" Your bottle is worth a lot more than wine! ”
Qu Xiaobai glanced at him: "Isn't it a lot?" ”
Yang Chun looked at her for a long time, "I really can't understand you." ”
"Yang Chun, you'll understand when the time comes." Qu Xiaobai suddenly felt depressed, opened his eyes, and whispered: "You still understand, what is called that there are frozen bones on the road, and Zhumen wine and meat stink." ”
Although her voice was very small, Yang Chun still heard it, and carefully touched her two poems, only to feel that it was no longer appropriate to the current world.
The corner of Yang Chun's eyes kept stopping on Qu Xiaobai's face in a daze. Qu Xiaobai, who is dressed as a man, is a little more heroic and a little less fatty, and her eyes seem to be mixed with a lot of things, looking closely, but they are as light as spring water, pure and flawless.
Back at the inn, Qu Xiaobai took a shower first, changed his clothes, and washed the dirty clothes, Yang Chun stood behind her, watching her wash her clothes, although he wanted to help her wash it, but as a little uncle, he couldn't say anything.
Qu Xiaobai finished washing his own and said, "I'll wait for tomorrow to wash your clothes, I'm too tired today." ”
"Thank you, I'll do it myself."
"What's polite, I'm my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law is better than my mother." He looked down at his outfit, coughed dryly, and changed his words: "As a younger brother, you should wash your brother's clothes." ”
"Let's come over and eat when we're done. I asked the innkeeper to fry a few of your favorite dishes, and when you finished eating, go to bed early for a while. ”
"Okay." Qu Xiaobai hung up the washed clothes and followed Yang Chun to his guest room, where Lao Hu was also in the room, as if he had just woken up and yawned.
When Qu Xiaobai entered the door, he stood up with a spirit, and the sleeping god was scared away, "Hello, little young master." The eldest young master is also good. ”
Qu Xiaobai beckoned: "Come over and eat." ”
sat down, picked up the chopsticks, looked at the table, it was full of her favorite vegetarian dishes, and couldn't help but say: "Brother, I don't like meat, you guys have to replenish your strength when you drive all day and night, right?" Next time, remember to add two meat dishes. The journey is already hard, and if you treat yourself badly, what is the picture. ”
Lao Hu didn't dare to sit down and eat at the same table, and said, "I'll eat again in a while, and I'm not hungry yet." ”
Qu Xiaobai said: "Hu Xijing, don't always do this in the future, let's go out, don't stick to these subtleties, fill your stomach first." Come and eat. ”
Lao Hu didn't know what she meant by always calling herself "Hu Xijing", and he didn't dare to ask, but he understood what she said. To listen to the master's words, he sat down with Yang Chun, picked up the chopsticks very uncomfortably, and ate with his head bored.
Although Qu Xiaobai was very hungry, the amount of food was limited, and he deliberately wanted to keep in shape, so after a few bites, he stopped eating, "You eat slowly, I'll go back to sleep." ”
Yang Chun was unhappy: "Why do you eat so little?" ”
"Don't you know me yet? Originally, the amount of food was small. ”
Yang Chun's tone was gloomy: "After Brother Yang Ling left, you lost a lot of weight. ”
Qu Xiaobai paused as he left, turned his head indifferently, stared at Yang Chun, and said: "Alas, I didn't expect that the clothes and belts gradually widened and I would never regret it, and this kind of thing would happen to me because of Yi Xiao's emaciation." Time also, life also. ”
Yang Chun, Yang Chun, I didn't mean to deliberately stuff dog food for you, I just wanted you to know that you can't do it, so don't do it.
Yang Chun's chopsticks paused, he was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Sister-in-law is tired, hurry up and go to sleep." ”
"You use it slowly."
Qu Xiaobai went back to his room and slept with his head covered.
Jingzhen is a small town after all, and it is just a porcelain-burning town, people rest at sunrise and sunset, and at night, they all go to bed early.
Qu Xiaobai woke up at night, stood in the center of the street, and found that it was empty, and there was not even a sound. There are also fewer people who come out to enjoy the coolness.
The long night was so boring, and there was no Yang Ling by his side for recreation, so he had to find something to do. She remembered that she was going to visit Suss in the official kiln tomorrow, and it was not good to leave empty-handed, but at the moment she had no gifts to give, and there were no gifts to buy on the streets of this Jingzhen, so after thinking about it, she decided to draw a picture of blue and white porcelain for him.
The beauty of blue and white porcelain, naturally, the most important point is in the color, and the rendering of ink alone is not enough to render its beauty.
There are many pigments sold in the town, but now that the door is closed, Qu Xiaobai wants to go out and try his luck, so he first went to the shopkeeper and asked which shop in the town now sells the most complete paints, and the shopkeeper told her that the most complete paint is a shop called Xinyan, but it should be closed now.
"So, are there any guys in the shop who watch the shop at night?" Qu Xiaobai asked unrelentingly.
"Naturally, there is, otherwise what if you lose something?"
"Then, shopkeeper, can you find a guy to accompany me?" It's better to have a guy with you than for her to knock on the door from an outsider, and then let people misunderstand her, and it's not good to shout and kill.
"Then let Xiao Liu in the store ......"
"I'll go with you."
Yang Chun's voice sounded, and as the voice fell, his people slowly paced down the stairs, Qu Xiaobai looked up at him: "What I'm looking for is a local, after all, disturbing people at night will make people unhappy." ”
Yang Chun said: "It's okay, let the little second brother go with us." ”
“……”
Yang Chun walked up to her and said, "Don't think too much, I'm just afraid that you are a woman, and it is not safe for you to go out alone at night." ”
"Let's go, if you rub it for a while, people may be more annoyed with you."
"Okay, let's go." Qu Xiaobai refused to be incompetent, Yang Chun was in front, and she silently followed. The young man also hurried to follow.
The guy at the Xinyan paint shop had already washed up and was ready to go to bed, when a knock on the door lured him out, "It's so late, who?" ”
"Hello, we want to buy some paint." Qu Xiaobai said.
"Can't you wait for tomorrow to buy paint? It's not a life-saving medicine, why are you in such a hurry? Soul hysteres? ”
The guy didn't open the door.
"Little brother, that's the case, we're in a hurry, look, can you please open the door and make an exception for us?"
"Fang Daxin, it's me, Xiao Liu, Yunji's buddy, you just open the door and sell some to these two guests, it's not easy for people to come here."
"Squeak", the door finally opened.
