Mu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law soon left the capital, but left many legends in the capital.

Tian Youwei heard a lot, and knew a lot about the loyal duke Mu Zikuan, who refused to surrender and scolded the thief and was executed by Ling Chi, as well as the old lady Mu who was young and widowed, but raised two outstanding sons, and the Xiangyang Mu family, who had a large population and a lot of capable people behind them.

Mu Yangbai, the deputy envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces, is also from this family, as for the youngest son of Mrs. Mu, who is holding a academy in Xiangyang at the moment, he is a well-known scholar and is deeply respected.

Mr. Liao said of the Mu family and sighed: "Nowadays, there are not many people who can follow the ancient rites like this, and only such a family can raise people like Zhongyigong." Ah Wei, you still charged her the same price? ”

Tian Youwei explained: "I see that Mrs. Mu has a resolute, stubborn and proud temperament, if I say that I will give her or reduce it, she will definitely not accept it, and I will think that I also think that she is poor and needs charity help." So I decided to keep the price of porcelain and add additional quantities. ”

"That's good." Mr. Liao praised Xiaoyang's newlywed wife: "Virtuous and reasonable, very good, and a good match for the prince of the county." ”

Tian Youwei and Shao Jing looked at each other and smiled, this is great.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, in the autumn, Tian Bing is about to return home to get married, Shao Jing is going to participate in the township test, and the official kiln of Xiu Neisi has also been successfully completed, and a group of top potters from major kilns will be drawn to the official kiln to burn porcelain.

Master Bai and several other important craftsmen seemed to be on the roster, and they received a notice the first day, and they were going to get up the next day, Tian's father was half angry and found Cheng Baoliang: "I still have such a heavy task here, what should I do if I take everyone away?" ”

Cheng Baoliang also had a headache when he held it: "Your Majesty requires the official kiln to fire the first pot of porcelain within a month, and the ceremonial vessels fired by the Shangguan kiln will be used for the winter solstice suburban festival...... It is to be phased out. Why don't you think of an idea first, and let Ah Wei come back to adjust the glaze? ”

Father Tian understood that no matter how hard he tried, he always wanted to cancel the private kiln and focus on the official kiln.

He didn't even have the qualifications to force these people to stay, because these people's wages had always been given by the imperial court, and they used the share of tribute porcelain.

This move by the imperial court is equivalent to the fact that it has begun to restrict and cancel the qualification of these kilns to pay tribute.

He returned home lonely, stayed in the middle of the night, and wrote a letter to Tian Youwei to ask her to go home.

Tian Youwei's side, Shao Jing had already left for Shaoxing to prepare for the exam, and she also received a message from Xiaoyang, saying that the official kiln of the internal division was recruiting, and he had already thought of a way, as long as she was ready, he would arrange for her to study the official kiln of the internal division.

Tian Youwei hesitated.

Judging from the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to study as a daughter in the internal department, and you can only disguise yourself as a man, which also means that it will bring great risks and uncertainties.

But if she gives up, she may never be able to achieve her wish.

It was at this time that she received a letter from Tian's father.

In the letter, Tian's father implored her to go home, even though the imperial court was very determined to cancel the qualification of the Yue porcelain kiln, he still wanted to fight hard and try his best to let the Yue porcelain live longer.

Tian Bing and Shao Jing couldn't count on her, and he could only rely on her, so he begged her to go home to preside over the glazing and help the kiln to fire more and better porcelain.

Tian Youwei was very anxious.

Liao Shu can understand her mood very well: "If you really don't want to give up Xiu Neisi's side, make it clear to your uncle." ”

Mr. Liao was not optimistic: "It doesn't make sense, your father will never allow you to risk a woman disguised as a man to repair the inner division, but he will not go back to help the family." ”

Tian Youwei was bored for a long time, and smiled bitterly: "I won't go back, I'm afraid that the family won't even be able to complete the task of paying tribute porcelain." ”

If the task of tribute porcelain is not completed, the Tian family will be punished, Tian Bing and Shao Jing are at a critical moment and cannot be dragged down.

She asked Mr. Liao to bring a message to Xiaoyang to thank him for his concern, but she decided to go home to help.

Xiao Yang soon came back with a message, saying that if he was worried that his family would not be able to complete the tribute porcelain qualification, he could ask Xiu Neisi to hand over the rest of the Tian family's tribute porcelain tasks to other kilns to complete.

Tian Youwei was moved again, and tentatively wrote a reply to Tian's father, she still wanted to study the official kiln of the internal division.

Tian's father did not reply to her letter, and within two days, it was reported that Tian's father was sick in bed because of anger and anxiety, and asked her to go home to serve her illness.

This is filial piety, if you don't go, it's a big unfilial piety, Tian Youwei really can't do it.

Mr. Liao sighed, and he couldn't say anything, so he comforted her: "Take a step forward, it just so happens that your second brother is also going home to get married, and there are many things to do, you go home, talk to your father, help the family prepare, and Ah Shu will also go." ”

Tian Youwei smiled bitterly: "It's better for me to go by myself, it's not easy to arrange Sister Ashu after she goes back, it's not appropriate to let her live at home alone, it's not appropriate to come to my house to live, it's better to stay in Beijing and be with my husband." ”

And so it was settled.

Tian Youwei took a boat back to Yuyao alone early the next morning.

She met Xie Liang on the docks.

Compared with before, Xie Liang was obviously much haggard, and there were more wrinkles and stains on his always clean and smooth clothes, and when he saw Tian Youwei, he smiled very hard: "Ah Wei is back?" ”

The setting sun shone on his face, and Tian Youwei inadvertently saw that there were a few gray hairs on his sideburns, and she knew that he was probably having a hard time: "Is my cousin here to pick up or give away?" ”

Xie Liang's eyes were a little tender: "Your cousin-in-law is about to give birth, I invited a doctor to come over and show her, just sent away." ”

Tian Youwei suddenly became nervous, and it was not easy to do it on her face, so she smiled and said, "Is it to please be safe?" ”

Xie Liang sighed lightly: "She is not in good health, and she is a little difficult. ”

Tian Youwei still wanted to ask more about the situation, so Xie Liang was busy saying goodbye to her: "It's getting late, go back quickly." ”

I don't want to talk about it.

Tian Youwei couldn't ask questions, so she could only say goodbye to him and get into Lao Zhang's car: "How is home?" Is my dad better? ”

Lao Zhang frowned: "What's good?" When I received your letter, I fell to the ground at that time, and my mother did not dare to explain it for fear of scaring you. After receiving a letter that you were going home, I drank a small half bowl of rice soup, and the situation was still not very good. ”

"Go fast!" Tian Youwei was startled, she had always thought that Tian's father was pretending to be sick to force her to go home, but she didn't expect that she was really sick.

From a distance, I saw Qiu Bao squatting on the side of the road alone, staring at the intersection with his eyes blank, his small body was round, his face was round, and his head was round.

"Qiu Bao!" Tian Youwei shouted, Qiu Bao took a step towards her, hugged her leg tightly in fear and said loudly: "Sister, you're back!" Daddy is crying at home! ”
