Chapter 672: The Beauty of Pottery
"How? Not bad!"
Guan Jintang stared at the clay pot very preciously, and the intoxication and fascination in his eyes were like a lustful person seeing a peerless beauty.
"This clay pot is really different, the clay pots I have seen before are very thick, you have such a light clay pot here!"
Shen Youqiu couldn't help but ask appreciatively, "By the way, I have seen Concubine Yuan Niangniang use a kind of pottery bowl in the palace, that kind of bowl is very light and thin, but unlike you, its outer wall is very smooth, and the color is more vivid, are you just-"
"Of course not!"
Hearing Shen Youqiu ask, Guan Jintang's face suddenly sank, and he looked at her very unhappily, with a hint of arrogance and dissatisfaction on his face.
"I've studied that thing for a long time, it's not the same thing at all as the pottery I've fired, and I've studied how to burn it, but I haven't found any results, and I guess the material used to fire it should be different from the material used to fire it, and the temperature and method are also different, so these are two kinds of things at all, and that can't be called pottery at all!"
"As much as I admire the master who can make such a beautiful artifact, you don't want to compare my naughtiness to that thing!"
"I see, Uncle Guan."
Shen Youqiu immediately nodded obediently.
Seeing her like this, Guan Jintang's face returned to smile, he looked at his son who had a straight face all day, shook his head, and sighed enviously.
"If only I had a daughter, well-behaved and good-looking, she laughs like a flower, and she looks like she is in a good mood every day."
"Orβ"
He suddenly looked at Shen Yuxin, and was about to say the words, but after noticing Shen Yuxin's suddenly stiff face, he could only swallow them all.
After visiting Guan Jintang's favorite works, Shen Youqiu looked at many other kinds of pottery, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Originally, there were many different styles and types of pottery, and in addition to the clumsy pottery used in daily life, there were also many pottery that showed a variety of beauty.
So after a trip, he had a lot more respect and curiosity for this old Mr. Guan in his heart.
Devoting one's life to a career completely, and maintaining an undiminished love for the rest of his life, is really not something that ordinary people can do.
By the time I said goodbye, it was almost evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the huge trees, casting dots and scattered golden shadows, this moment. The wind seemed to suddenly become noisy.
"Girl, if you really like pottery, come here at any time in the future, and you don't need to bring anything else when you come, if you really have a heart, just bring me some good fish every once in a while, I'm not good at drinking, so I like to eat fish."
Guan Jintang smiled, looking at Shen Yueqiu's gaze very lovingly and likingly.
"Just don't bother me then!" Shen Youqiu said with a smile.
"How so!"
When he reached the door, he stopped again, "I won't send you out, let my son send you."
As he spoke, he looked at Caring Ren, "Hurry up and send it to someone's house, look at it, it's going to be dark soon, and our house is remote, you can send it farther away and come back, don't be lazy."
"No, no!" Shen Yuxin hurriedly waved his hand, "I know the way back, so I don't need my nephew to send it."
"I'll send you."
Like his father, Caring Ren was a tendon, and in the end, he sent both of them to the door of Shen's house.
Because the two of them came back too late, Mo Shi was very anxious, and he had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw that the caring person was also coming, he immediately beckoned him to go in and eat something, but the caring person waved his hand and saluted, and refused very seriously.
"I still have to go home and cook for my father, so I won't stay, thank you for your kindness!"
After speaking, he didn't give anyone else a chance to speak, turned around and left, his steps were very hurried, as if someone was chasing him
Like.
"This kid!"
Moh's face was helpless.
Caring Ren helped them, she had long wanted to find a chance to thank him, but since he left the court, he has never appeared, even if someone shouts and does not show up.
"Alright, mother."
Shen Youqiu hurriedly ran forward to hold her hand and smiled sweetly, "This Guan Gongzi is this character, don't force him, anyway, there will be many opportunities to repay the favor in the future."
"How?" Mohs was a little puzzled.
"After that, I will often visit their house, his father is the friend of my father's, and he is a craftsman who specializes in firing pottery in the family, we have already agreed, and as long as I want to go, I can go to their house to observe the pottery burning, and then I will find a way to repay them."
"I see, that's good."
Mo Shi smiled and touched her head, "This kid is a good one, everyone didn't believe us at that time, even Pan An's adults were obviously biased towards those people, this kid dared to stand up and help us at such a moment, this is a great favor."
"Uh-huh, I know."
Shen Youqiu touched his stomach, and then held Mo's arm coquettishly: "Mother, I'm hungry, what good dishes did you cook tonight, let me see?"
"No, I seem to have smelled it, is it a fried meatball? I even stewed meat!"
"Hehe, what a glutton! The nose is so smart, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"It's time to eat!"
With a sound, the courtyard suddenly became lively.

At this time, inside the palace, a banquet dedicated to welcoming the envoys of the Yuan State had just begun.
The starry sky on a summer night is so beautiful, the endless stars in the sky, and the light from the countless lanterns on the ground complement each other, as if they are completely connected.
On top of the banquet, there is also a lively scene of guests and hosts.
The envoy of the Yuan State had just handed over the list of tributes that had been shipped over to the emperor.
Gao Neishou stood next to the emperor and read out the contents of the list aloud.
"Yunding Mountain Premium Alpine Cloud Tea 100 catties!"
"Niutou Mountain Gorge specialty, 100 beauty fruits!"
"Fifty horses of gold silk and weaving!"
On the list, there are more tributes than in previous years.
When the sending officials heard these numbers, they couldn't help but have a slight look of pride on their faces.
Because this shows that Yuan Guo is showing weakness and currying favor with them in the Great Song Dynasty.
After reading the list, the crown prince stood up happily and toasted a glass of wine in the direction of Yuan's envoys.
"You have come from afar, and with so much sincerity, it is really a great blessing for my Song country to have a territory like you, this glass of wine represents friendship, and I hope that the friendship between our two countries will last forever like this moon!"
