Volume 1 Chapter 156 The tragedy of the Pei family
Taking advantage of the time when everyone went to clean up, Xu Yunjin took Yuan San to his room.
"Third uncle, do you know the Pei family?" As soon as Xu Yunjin asked, he saw Yuan Sanleng stunned.
"You know, how could the county lord ask about the Pei family?"
The Pei family's affairs are not a secret, but eight years have passed, and now few people will mention the tragedy of the Pei family.
Xu Yunjin told Yuan San what Kou Gonggong said, and Yuan San knew what Concubine Jing meant after thinking about it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Concubine Jing was careful, and he remembered to tell the Xu family about this kind of thing.
"Hey, this Pei family's matter is a long story, so I'll tell the county lord about what happened eight years ago."
The Pei family is a rising star in the porcelain industry, and they have only been making porcelain for decades.
At the beginning, the Pei family was only doing a small business, and there was a ceramic workshop at home, but it was just to make some general ceramics, and the Pei family was quite wealthy.
Later, the head of the Pei family found that his only son was very talented in porcelain, so he strongly supported his son to study, and also gave him the small ceramic workshop to practice.
He also calculated the yield, made porcelain really good, and created a unique craft at that time, which happened to coincide with the year of the reform of the imperial merchant policy.
The reputation of the Pei family is loud, and Qi Ren has personally announced that the only son of the Pei family, and the two talked very happily, and then Qi Ren personally issued an edict to declare the Pei family as the first official kiln, and the Pei family was in the limelight for a while.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, and great joy is followed by great sorrow.
Concubine Jing has always been the emperor's favorite, and she just gave birth to her eldest son, Qi Yu, during which Concubine Jing was well protected, and the child was born smoothly.
When Qi Yu was more than two years old, Concubine Jing became pregnant again, but this time she was not so lucky, Concubine Jing was still poisoned, and she almost lost her life.
Qi Ren was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but in the end, it was discovered that the incense burner porcelain that the Pei family paid tribute to was coated with poison.
The poison is not harmful to people when used alone, but once the incense is lit, the poison on the porcelain is heated to stimulate its toxicity.
The poison was very tricky, and in the end, Yuen Long ran all the way to the medicine gate to find the old man Hua, and Concubine Jing picked up a life, but the child was gone.
Although Concubine Jing recovered well in the later period, she still injured her foundation, and after so many years, she still only has one child under her knees.
As soon as this incident came out, Qi Ren knew whose handiwork, but before Qi Ren could speak, the news came that the Pei family and his wife were killed when they went out.
The old couple of the Pei family couldn't bear the blow, and they both fell ill overnight, leaving only a little granddaughter who was only a few years old.
However, in two years, the Pei family's family business was eaten away, and it is said that most of it went into the Bao family's pocket.
The name of the official kiln also fell on the head of the Bao family, and the old couple of the Pei family were gone, and at the same time, the seven-year-old daughter of the Pei family did not know what to do.
"Hey, it's been eight years since the incident, in fact, we all know whose hand it was, the Pei family is innocent, and I don't know if the child of the Pei family is still alive, and the saint and Niangniang have also sent people to look for it, but no one has been found."
Xu Yunjin couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, this is simply a tragedy in the world, and the hatred for the He family in his heart has added another point.
"Girl, since Niangniang has reminded you, there are moths in the harem again, you have to tell Yunnan Gongzi, you can be stricter in this regard in the future."
After all, Yuan San has been by Yuan Xuan's side all the year round, and he also knows a lot about Qi Ren and Concubine Jing, since everyone has come to remind them, they must have their intentions.
"I know the third uncle, I'll tell my eldest brother in a moment."
When the two of them were talking about something, it was getting dark, and it was almost time for a night meal.
Seeing that everyone had packed up, Xu Yunjin was ready to set off as soon as he gave the order, and this inn was not far from Yuefu Restaurant.
There were nearly thirty people, and it was not convenient to go by carriage, so only Xu Yunjin went to the restaurant first, and the rest of the people were taken by Xu Yunnan and walked over.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Yuefu Restaurant, Han Shaozhi jumped off his horse and ran into the door, and took out the jade plate of the descendants of the Han family that he was carrying.
"Third Prince, how did you come to Jin
Flat?"
The name of Han Shaozhi is engraved on the jade plate, and these shopkeepers of the family are clear about the surname and ranking of the masters of the family.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the name on it, and saw Han Shaozhi's handsome face, he determined that this person was really his son.
"I've been coming to Jiujiang for a while, and I've been accompanying my friends to Jinping for a bit of a while in the past two days, so I'll open the No. 2 private room, add a big table to it, and get some good wine and food, I'm going to invite friends to dinner today."
The No. 1 private room of Yuefu Restaurant can only be used by the Han family's own people, and the No. 2 private room is specially set up to entertain friends with the Han family, which is the largest private room of Yuefu Restaurant.
Xu Yunjin and a few people also entered the door, the downstairs hall was full of people, and the sound could be faintly heard in the private room upstairs, and it seemed that the business was good.
"Sister Ah Jin, come on, I've arranged everything, can you see what else you need?"
Han Shao beckoned Xu Yunjin to the shopkeeper.
"No, I've heard it all, that's all."
Xu Yunjin has also eaten the food of Yuefu Restaurant, and the taste is nothing to say, not to mention that he still has his own seasonings.
"Then let's go up, and the carriage will go to the backyard and stop."
When the shopkeeper saw that his son-in-law was still asking for the opinions of others, he knew that this person was the guest he wanted to entertain, and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Yunjin.
After that, the shopkeeper led them to the private room upstairs, and beckoned the shopkeeper to take Yuan San to drive the carriage to the backyard.
The private room is very large, and the furnishings inside reveal one word, that is, - trench, and there is a large table next to Xiao Er who has just moved in, and there are about 20 people who can sit down.
"In a moment, if someone reports my name, you will bring them directly here."
As soon as he sat down in the private room, Xiao Er brought tea, and Han Shaozhi carefully told the shopkeeper on the side, this is the first time he has invited someone to dinner, and he has to entertain him well.
"You don't have to work up and down, today is a small celebration, and when the time comes, Jiujiang will definitely be held at home, and you can also come and taste the craftsmanship of the village banquet."
Xu Yunjin saw that Han Shaozhi hadn't sat down since he came in, and couldn't help but hold his forehead, this boy was quite happy to invite someone to dinner.
"This is the first time I've invited a friend to dinner, so I'm sure I'll have to entertain them."
Han Shaozhi said a lot of words, and now his throat is a little dry, and he didn't stop after drinking two glasses of water.
Xu Yunjin felt that Han Shaozhi was quite pitiful, obviously his family background was illustrious, and his family loved him, but he didn't have any friends.
After a while, Xu Yunnan took the remaining twenty workers to the door of the private room, and looked at the richly decorated private room, and everyone was a little discouraged.
"Come on in, it's a good day, you must eat and drink well."
Han Shao fulfilled the etiquette of the host, beckoned them all to come in and sit down, and instructed Xiao Er to serve the food as soon as possible.
Everyone sat in their positions with unreal faces, and only then did they know that they were all true when they looked at the big dishes that came in from the second end of the shop.
The workers are stupid, but their hearts are warm, eating such a meal, they can brag for a month when they go home, or they are lucky to meet a good owner.
The two masters couldn't help but nod their heads when they looked at it, didn't they come to such a small workshop to be a master in the future?
Now it seems that Yuan Shizi is right, this Xu family is indeed worth delivering!
The meal was so cheerful, although everyone controlled to drink less, but still a little drunk.
Especially Xu Yunnan and Han Shaozhi, they haven't drunk much when they are young, and they are dizzy after two glasses of wine.
"Host, your carriage has arrived."
