Xia Zixi didn't say anything about standing in line, he just looked at Xia Yanqing quietly, waiting for her next words.

Of course, Xia Yanqing did not disappoint him.

"During the time when my daughter was in her mother-in-law's house, she imitated the literati of the previous dynasty and tried to make pottery, and her craftsmanship was passable."

"It's just a pastime, how can this be taken seriously?" Xia Ke's frowning brows not only did not loosen, but tightened them even tighter.

"Okay, good, can Yan Qinghalal make it? Sure enough, he was a smart kid. Mrs. Jiang's face was full of relief.

She didn't think that Xia Yanqing could make a living from this, but she was glad that her daughter knew how to make pottery as a pastime in a short time after she returned to the capital.

As for the quality of the pottery...... Anyway, I didn't plan to sell it, so I burned it myself and played with it, as long as I had a meaning.

Xia Yanqing glanced at the two people seated and was speechless.

What is this talking about? It's too contemptuous of people.

And my mother's expression, why don't I feel as good as my father's frowning look?

She rolled her eyes and said stubbornly: "My daughter's craft is not child's play, I will definitely be able to earn some money for myself." ”

Without waiting for Xia Ke and Mrs. Jiang to speak, Xia Yanqing hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about these first, my daughter brought a few small pottery objects today, and if my father and brother look good, I will give you a few respectively." I'll let Xinshu and Xinxiu bring things in. ”

As he spoke, he didn't care about the different looks of the people in the house, but he got up and went to the door.

Xinshu and Xinxiu had been waiting outside for a long time, and when they heard Xia Yanqing greeting them, they hurriedly came in with their baggage. According to her instructions, he put the two burdens on the table between Xia Ke and Mrs. Jiang, and then bowed and retreated.

Xia Ke's face was complicated, he looked at his daughter who was like no one else, and without waiting for him to agree, he opened the burden by himself.

He has always been serious and upright, and although his two sons are adults, they are still cautious in front of him. My daughter has experienced ups and downs, and when she first came back, she was quite frightened of him. It's only been a few days since you got married? When facing him, it was so casual.

Then, Xia Ke was surprised to see that in the first box that Xia Yanqing opened, there was really something that could be seen, and it was by no means child's play.

In the box with a pure white satin backing, there is a five-inch ...... Swan? A red, simple but elegant swan knick-knack?

Xia Ke's eyes flickered, and then he looked at it seriously. This simple, but novel, swan ornament is indeed an enamelled pottery.

After distinguishing clearly, Xia Ke suppressed the surprise in his heart, and ignored the two sons who came to the table, but focused his eyes on the other box.

There, there was another, slightly smaller white swan, the same shape and posture as the red one.

When the two simple ornaments with enamel are put together, they show a different kind of nobility and softness.

Behind Xia Yanqing, Xia Zitang was surprised: "Little sister, is this really what you did?" This, if the objects made by the little sister have such quality, she can really make a ......."

Immediately after, he felt that something was wrong, and when he met Xia Ke's stern gaze, he involuntarily shrank his neck and swallowed the rest of the words.

Xia Ke looked at Xia Yanqing, who was fiddling with another box, and asked seriously, "You made this?" ”

Xia Yanqing's subordinates didn't stop, but he turned his head and said as a matter of course: "Yes, the way I came up, Mr. Bai made an embryo according to my ideas." The firing was also done under my direction, although I tried several times, but in the end these furnaces were successful, only a few flaws, and the others were of this quality. ”

Xia Ke was noncommittal, and fixed his eyes on the four six-inch plates that Xia Yanqing took out. On the plate, there are four different pictures of Qinghe.

Xia Yanqing took out four simple wooden brackets, and said with a little embarrassment: "This bracket was made in a hurry, and the wood is ordinary, Dad, you can make do with it." ”

Xia Ke glanced at her and was noncommittal. He can see that his daughter doesn't need to be treated with caution at all, but he is afraid that if he has a straight face, she will not have the slightest fear.

The simple wooden base is propped up, and the plate ornaments are put on one by one, and the visual effect is immediately different.

If you look at them individually, they are four separate paintings.

However, when the four plates are placed together one after the other, there is a wonderful sense of unity, as if they should be a picture, and they can almost be seen as a lotus pond without any barrier.

This time, Xia Yanqing didn't wait for Xia Ke to ask, and took the initiative to confess: "The plate is a raw pottery embryo bought by Zhang Dazhuang from the pottery kiln, and the picture on it was painted by Mr. Bai. That, my daughter is only responsible for thinking about what kind of painting she will make. ”

Behind her, Xia Zixi stood beside Xia Zitang, nodded and sighed: "This is amazing, people who can draw are easy to find." I could come up with such an idea, but I didn't. ”

"Yes, we have been smart since we were children. The methods that you can think of are incomparable to others. Mrs. Jiang echoed again and again.

Xia Ke glanced at Xia Zixi expressionlessly, and without showing too much emotion, he looked away and looked at the contents of the other two boxes.

The other two boxes are smaller, which are respectively filled with two small black and red fortune trees, unified shapes, only different colors, and also simple shapes, pleasing to the eye.

A few things that had never appeared in this world made several people in the room silent for a long time.

Xia Yanqing smoothly put aside the wrapper and box, and returned to his chair and sat down.

After waiting for a while, except for the kind glances from Mrs. Jiang and her brother and sister-in-law from time to time, no one said a word.

"Well, that," Xia Yanqing broke the silence, "Father and mother have seen these things, as long as you give me time and space, similar novelty pottery will be fired continuously." Father can ask the second brother to ask Mr. Bai, the success rate of our pottery is not bad, and it can be used to make money. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Ke, who was contemplative, raised his eyes and looked at her.

Xia Yanqing was shocked by Xia Ke's heart. In particular, I almost forgot that this is the senior chief of the department/law/department, and that look is really shocking.

But she is the daughter of this chief, or the daughter who has been lost for many years and makes her parents feel doubly sorry.

She flattened her mouth and muttered, "Can't you repent of what you did wrong?" Wang Xi is a famous talent, and I am a rough man, so I can't catch up with him. In this way, between Erlang and Xu Qinghui, the three of them are all troubled, and there may not be anything wrong in the future. I am a high wind and bright festival, take a step back and open the sky. ”

The corners of Xia Zixi's mouth trembled, this word is used, what a big sense of disobedience.

Xia Ke looked at her familiar and unfamiliar daughter, very helpless. This girl, looking timid, was muttering in a low voice, but her voice was not loud or small, and she said it clearly.

Xia Zixi said abruptly in the silence of everyone: "There is a way, Qi Da is not a coincidence. Xiaomei's idea is not wrong, instead of fighting in the Wang family and concubines all her life and being disliked, it is better to withdraw and do her own thing. If you want to be a self-reliant woman, there will always be people with a discerning eye to cherish. ”

Xia Zitang had already waited for the second brother to come forward, and when he heard Xia Zixi's words, he echoed continuously.
