Xu Zhiliu woke up from a dream, sweat was dripping on his forehead, and a lingering sentence of "Brother Liu" lingered in his ears, which was simply a magic barrier. Seeing that the fish belly by the window was white, he got up and changed his clothes.

When I came over to see it, the son actually changed his clothes again. There is no hot water in the house, and it is obviously cool water.

The child didn't know so much, so he just said: "If you want to use water in the future, just call me directly, you will get sick if you take a cold shower." ”

Xu Zhiliu's pen tip was stunned, but there was no response.

By noon, Jingdezhen spread all over the city, and in the battle between spring and summer, Xu Zhiliu was even better. Only Xu stared at the smashed defective products in the yard, and the taste was indescribable.

If only in terms of craftsmanship, the two blue and white bowls have their own merits.

The little god kiln is magical, the blue and white bowl burned out is shiny, transparent and bright, the embryo is like jade, full of flowers, more is too much, less is too little, even if it is not good enough to be good at flowers, birds, insects and fish should also shine in the glaze, like a warm porcelain piece to melt a ball of spring, bring a little heat. And Xu Zhi Liugong pen is a must, ten years of practice is profound, see the cicada such as hearing the summer sound, see the warbler such as seeing the spring, the spring and summer scenery is evenly divided on the same bowl, and then hook with blue and white, the ancient rhyme is elegant, the romance is contained, implying the wind of integrity.

It is the character of this literati that makes him even better.

Only outsiders don't know how many times he missed to paint this bowl. To put it bluntly, how can there be a high or low handmade work, but it is another fluke.

He thought so in his heart, but Liang Peiqiu didn't think so, on the contrary, he became sad for no reason, not only regretting that Mingzhu was dusty and useless, but also lamenting that he was incompetent.

He was so sad that he couldn't hide when the two of them saw each other again, and his eyes that had always glowed were dimmed. Xu Zhiliu appeased for a while, but it was useless.

The little white rabbit felt sorry for himself: "The book says that you and I are opponents in chess, I never thought about it, now think about it, where am I worthy?" ”

It's in the book again.

"You go to listen to books a lot?"

"I don't have anywhere else to go, so I occasionally spend my free time in the teahouse." In fact, he has to go to the teahouse to listen to books when he has time or not, and only listen to the stories about the two of them in the picture book. But if the storyteller says another person today, he will lift his feet and leave immediately.

He is young, has a slow temperament, is used to being alone, and has no friends to talk to in Anqing Yao. If you think about it carefully, the reason why you often linger in the teahouse is probably because he has too many things that can only be done alone, right?

Xu Zhiliu saw that the young man was discouraged with his head down, and he was really pitiful, because he groaned: "It's better to ...... When the lotus flowers bloom in summer, go to my house and sit down? ”

The young man looked up suddenly: "Your family?" ”

"My private home."

"Lotus?"

"Yes, only one of them in the book is right, I have a pond. It's still appropriate to cool off under the summer canopy, do you want to be together? ”

Liang Peiqiu couldn't care about blushing and heartbeat, and covered her face and sobbed: "Woo, Brother Liu, you are so good." ”

I haven't been drinking at this time, he's sober, and I call him Brother Liu? Xu Zhiliu asked, "Are you fifteen years old this year?" ”

"Hmm."

Xu Zhiliu will turn eighteen in a few months, and he can barely be called a brother.

Then let him go.

He smiled slightly: "That's it." He also advised, "Don't listen to books again in the future." "If you want to know anything, you can ask me." ”

Liang Peiqiu nodded like pounding garlic, happily wanting to go to heaven. What is unworthy or unworthy, it has long been left behind!

I just want to know, when is summer coming?

Little did he know that day might never come. When Xu Zhiliufu went home, he saw that the stewards and servants all looked strange, and his heart was terrified, and he walked quickly to the study, and heard the cry of the year from a distance, mixed with the roar of the head of the family.

When he entered the door, Xu Zhongzheng picked up a stack of books and threw them into the brazier. When he was pressed to the ground by two little guys, he saw that the notebook that the boy had just repaired was swallowed up by the tongue of fire, and he screamed angrily, broke free from the shackles of the left and right, and threw himself towards the brazier!

Xu Zhong was startled, and subconsciously raised his feet: "Are you crazy?!" ”

At that time, he was kicked and rolled over, imitating the blue and white lotus vase of the Ming Dynasty and shattered in response to the sound. The ground was full of messes, bringing out a patch of scarlet blood.

Still didn't get the notes.

Then in the next moment, the brazier was kicked over, and Shi Nian was half-lifted from the ground by a pair of strong arms. The voice was warm and deep, and he asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

He didn't want to cry, but when he saw the situation in front of him, he held back, and only whispered: "Childe, when I was sorting out the cage today, the owner suddenly came over, and I saw ......."

Xu Zhiliu nodded, indicating that he knew, and glanced into the house, the books and belongings were scattered all over the place, the cages were emptied, and the ceramic rabbit was lame and fell crookedly on the case.

Xu Zhong's expression was solemn and he asked, "When did it start?" ”

"I received a letter on the winter solstice last year, and I learned that my mother was in poor health, Anan was unruly, and the chickens and dogs jumped at home, which almost caused a catastrophe."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I've asked someone to take care of my mother and Anan on my behalf."

Xu Zhong shook his head, still in disbelief: "You have a private house outside, why don't you let them move over together?" I can hire someone to take care of their daily life, and you can live with them, why...... Why do you have to go! He was full of sourness, so angry that he suddenly turned into a sense of sadness, "Zhiliu, it's been ten years, I regard you as my own, how can you do such a treacherous act!" ”

Xu Zhiliu stood under the atrium, looking back at the world in all directions, the flowers were full of flowers, and the white porcelain was flawless, but there was really no place for him.

"Uncle, when my father was framed and died of injustice, my mother was about to give birth, and my relatives in the clan were far away, I was desperate, only you were willing to take me in, and I will never forget this kindness."

Xu Zhong laughed: "You scattered all your wealth and came to me, do you really think that I haven't investigated you?" You, Xu Zhiliu, knew that I Xu Zhong had no children, and there was no successor, so you took advantage of my pain to win my trust. There was no way back when you came, and since you calculated that I stayed, why didn't you count it to the end? Is my decades-old family business so cheap in your opinion? Throw it away if you want! Although it was not explicitly stated, but you also tacitly agreed that you are my heir, inside and outside respect you as a small owner, ten years have tasted the sweetness, now it's good, a sentence that will never be forgotten to draw a line with me? Do you really think I don't know your mind? I've long been disliking to these books, but now I'm going to light them all, but let you see the word more than kindness between you and me? ”

Calculations, all his calculations!

"You Xu Zhiliu, what a talent! I, Xu Zhong, am the biggest fool in the world! Xu Zhong was furious and shouted for the little guy to fetch a torch.

He wants to burn that guy's books, burn his old garden and old dreams, so that he can't ask for it for the rest of his life, and there is no way out! However, the little guy didn't move, and one by one he was forced by the young man's unrevealing gaze to bow his head and make quails.

Xu Zhong suddenly felt sarcastic, and he was about to kick the disobedient minion with his feet, but he was pulled by Xu Zhiliu and punched him with an angry backhand.

Xu Zhiliu was beaten, his face was hot and painful, but his face was still gentle, and he said unhurriedly: "Uncle, Yang Gong has already stated in the letter that Xia Ying is a person, presumably he will rule diligently after taking office, and An Nineteen is no longer a problem." The stewards whom I have promoted over the past few years are all competent and loyal, and when I am gone, you will consult with them in everything, and if you can rest assured that the kiln work is complicated and trivial, it will not be burdened, and I may find you another butler before I leave. ”

"Heh, I remembered, you planned to leave on the winter solstice last year, no wonder...... No wonder you dare to do something in the big dragon tank, you can't wait?! ”

"Yang Gong is about to retire, if An Nineteen is not removed, there will be endless troubles, so I have to take a risk."

"As a last resort?" Xu Zhong smiled again, "You Xu Zhiliu do things, you have to think twice, how can you have to do it as a last resort?" ”

"How can there be no last resort?" Xu Zhiliu looked at Xu Zhong, and a slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "When I had no money to bury my father's body, I had to sell the only beloved guqin in his life in exchange for a coffin." When my mother had a difficult birth, I had no choice but to sell my family's land and go to the city to hire a doctor and a stable wife, so that the sick and weak Anan could survive the dangerous period of premature birth. I had to drop out of school and make a living copying books at home, which was a bit of Sima Guang's joy. Unexpectedly, there was a locust plague during the autumn harvest, and the only remaining acre of thin fields was not harvested, and seeing that my mother and younger brother were about to lose food, I had to leave home with anxiety and fear, and went to my distant relatives whom I had never met. Knowing that my uncle has no children, and there is no one to inherit the inheritance, I had to temporarily occupy his position when I was young, in order to fill the emptiness in my uncle's heart, and hope that his uncle will be able to have both children one day. In the past ten years, I have known that my uncle has the heart to abdicate, and I have more than once proposed to adopt the youngest son in the clan, but my uncle avoided talking about it, and my kindness was not repaid, so I had to find another way to clear the future for my uncle......

"Enough, don't talk about it!" Xu Zhong turned his back suddenly, closed his eyes and held back tears, and only said, "What about Ah Harrier?" Harrier, she likes you wholeheartedly! ”

"I treat Ah Harrier better than Ah Nan."

In the end, she is still a sister and a family, but after ten years of kindness, it is still not as thick as blood. Xu Zhong thought about it again and again, but still didn't give up and asked, "Do you have to go?" Can't read here? ”

Of course. It's just that the bonds here are too deep, and some things, some people, are warm and dangerous, like vines.

Every time he dreams of his father's unjust death in the middle of the night, he feels that time flies, and he snaps his fingers in an instant. If he doesn't return to his career, when will he be able to wash away his father's grievances?

Seeing that he was speechless, Xu Zhong's body shook, but fortunately, a pair of hands beside him helped him steady in time. He looked up and saw those dark eyes, which were indeed believed from the beginning, believed in his intelligence, his openness, his integrity and kindness, but he couldn't keep such a good child after all......

Xu Zhongqiang forbears himself, brushes away his hands, and walks out slowly.

In a moment, the back seemed to be dozens of years old.

Xu Zhiliu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and bent down to clean up his father's notes on the ground. The smoke blackened the writing, and he couldn't see the content clearly, but he also cherished it very much, and he was relieved to think of his old mother and younger brother Anan at home. When Xia Ying takes office and puts an end to everything here, he can return to his hometown.

When I was thinking like this, I suddenly heard a laugh.

The laughter was shrill and recognizable. Xu Zhiliu raised his head abruptly and saw Xu Zhong frozen in place, and a person slowly walked out from behind the wall. At a glance, the visitor smiled even more happily: "What's the matter?" It's just a break up at the beginning of spring! How can I not participate in such a fun thing? ”

The eunuch's fine white skin was wrapped in gold and jade satin, and it was full of ointment and splendor, arrogant and lascivious.

Xu Zhiliu knew that he couldn't leave this time.
