Xu Qing actually had a premonition about that day. She agreed to Cheng Yubai without preparation, and failure was inevitable.

It's just that she doesn't regret it.

Later, Xu Xiaohe told Xu Qing that when he saw the delivery order, he saw an antique picture album at the same time. Although he didn't understand ceramics, he could see that most of the atlases were collections that only museums had, and it was impossible for this kind of complete catalogue to circulate among the people. After thinking about it afterwards, I calmed down, after all, when it came to the future of Wanhe Media, if something happened to Xu Zhengnan, the company would not be good, so I retreated and chose to conceal it.

After all, they are father and son, and he doesn't want to end up losing both sides with Xu Zhengnan.

Xu Qing expressed his understanding and was grateful that he had given him the opportunity. Xu Xiaohe scratched his head, not wanting to recall the gaffe of that day. He knew very well that if he hadn't blocked the door in time that day, he would have looked less like a man.

"All in all, this time Brother Xiaohe owes you."

Xu Qing waved his hand: "I can't bear your affection, besides, you have helped me many times before." ”

"Are we friends?" Xu Xiaohe said, "It is said that friends who are in distress are true friends, I don't care, this time I have to recognize you as a friend." ”

Xu Qing laughed at him: "The prince still lacks friends? ”

"A bunch of fox friends. I'm now officially announcing that their pattern is no longer worthy of me today. ”

Xu Qing nodded: "Then please give me a lot of advice." ”

Approaching the end of the year, Xu Qing took a bouquet of immortal flowers to see Gu Yan. Gu Yan lost a lot of weight, but she said that she was fine and would try to come out earlier. Xu Qing said: "Gu Yan, I always remember that you told me that women have disadvantages in the workplace and should help each other. When you come out, please contact me if necessary. ”

"You've helped me a lot, and I know that if it weren't for you running for me, no one would want to be a junior lawyer." What's more, she is still a failed junior. Gu Yan used to feel sorry for himself and couldn't figure out a lot of things, but now he can laugh at himself when he thinks about it, "Thank you Xu Qing, and thank you friends, you make me feel that the city of Jingdezhen really has a temperature, and now I finally understand why you want to come back." ”

"You have to come on."

"I will. I believe I have a great future ahead of me. ”

……

On the eve of the Spring Festival, Qin Feng picked a time to surprise Xu Qing and set a table for dinner at the state banquet. Xu Qing called Yu Wan and Wang Yi, and Qin Feng called Lao Zhang and Cheng Yubai. Wang Yi works in the media, and he had dealt with Cheng Yubai at first, and he also had some friendship with He Dong, and he became familiar with him in three or two sentences.

Wang Yi said that the perpetrator of the car accident has been found and is going through the normal judicial process. He received the news that the man would probably not come out again. After saying this, he glanced at the man next to him who was talking and laughing.

Cheng Yubai noticed that his gaze was also over. The two raised their glasses and smiled at each other.

After the meal, Qin Feng took Cheng Yubai's card to check out, and secretly asked if he wanted to tell Qingmei. As soon as Cheng Yubai lifted his leg, he dragged Lao Zhang and ran away.

Cheng Yubai drank alcohol and it was inconvenient to drive, so he didn't call a substitute driver, so he walked along the river with Xu Qing.

Walking near the square, a group of children ran over with balloons. Cheng Yubai grabbed her arm and brought it to her side, and whispered, "Watch the road carefully." ”

"I'm fine."

"Are all the injuries healed?"

Xu Qing glanced at him: "It's really fine." ”

Cheng Yubai also felt that she was too nervous, let go of her hand, she broke away and took a step to the side.

When it comes to the arrangements for the New Year, Yu Wan and Wang Yi have to go back to their hometown, Qin Feng must be at home, and it doesn't matter if Lao Zhang is used to being alone, but she, in the first year of returning to Jingdezhen, I don't know if I want to go back to my hometown.

"What's next?"

"I want to go back to the countryside to worship my grandfather first."

"Celebrating the New Year in Jingdezhen?"

"Hmm."

"What time are you leaving?"

"Next week."

Cheng Yubai knew that she was on annual leave this week, so she nodded. The two of them walked for a while, and he asked again, "Why didn't that person come today?" ”

"Who are you talking about?"

"Someone who helped you."

Xu Qing was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"What? Inconvenience? ”

"Hmm."

"What's inconvenient?"

Xu Qing had a headache. How strange he is. Xu Zhiliu is too, every time she and Cheng Yubai are alone these times, he will learn from the earth and disappear without a trace.

"He doesn't know you, and he can't say anything when he comes."

"You're kind of thinking about him."

Xu Qing glanced at him: "Do you want to see him?" ”

"I know all the experts in Jingdezhen who understand the identification of ancient ceramics, and I also know anyone outside." He crossed it, it is said that those people have no intersection with her, how can she know her? Isn't it a local connoisseur in Jingdezhen? That's not right.

He could feel that the person was right next to her, and he had a good relationship with her.

"Do you want to ask me who he is?"

"I didn't."

"You don't have to think about it. You don't know him. ”

Cheng Yubai stared at her for a while with an unbelievable look, a little angry: "I don't believe it." ”

If you don't believe or believe, you don't know. Xu Qing couldn't hold back a smile: "There is a chance for you to meet him, I want to ...... He will be willing to talk to you. ”

As if to strengthen her persuasiveness, she added, "He likes that big bowl of water." ”

Originally, Xu Zhiliu was drinking in a scoop, and he was not willing to touch Cheng Yubai's things, and he had never touched the porcelain he made. His assessment was that although the blank was bad, it was remedied by his superb painting skills.

Cheng Yubai may be born to paint, from birth, he will hold a pen and paint according to his father and grandfather's porcelain, and he will be able to paint more. However, this does not mean that painting on paper is the same as painting on porcelain.

This is one of them.

What he really loves about the big bowl is the glaze.

Xu Zhiliu said: "On the whole, the glaze is warm and smooth, greasy but not sticky, and this kind of feel is a test of the glazer's kung fu." ”

The color glaze is particular about the thickness of the glaze, and the glaze should be blown. Use a bamboo tube, wrap a cloth dipped in glaze water, and blow it to the surface of the porcelain, often blowing many layers.

Inside the vase, pour the glaze water into it, shake it and then pour it out, which is called swinging the glaze. The kind of extra-large bottle or cylinder, the inside also has to swing the glaze, to several strong men to work together to pick up the bottle, with the glaze water to swing evenly, the action should be highly coordinated, the scene is spectacular.

"Then there is no obvious demarcation between the green grass and the white space, in addition to the green glaze with grass and the white glaze on the tire, there is also a natural gradient color, in the transition between white and green." Xu Zhiliu can't say whether it's light cyan or blue-white, in short, the transition is natural, it looks like a real meadow, which requires extreme observation and subtle brushstrokes, as well as first-class kung fu.

Xu Zhiliu sighed, "This is really a mediocre and dazzling big water bowl." ”

Xu Qing could see that he admired Cheng Yubai very much.

I am not very happy if the process is overdue.

"You let him touch it?"

"Hmm."

Xu Qing also wanted to ask him, why did he paint grass? Isn't there any special meaning.

Cheng Yubai stared at her for a long time. The smell of wine was thick in his eyes, and he forced the fire in his heart, and without saying a word, he walked to the side of the road and called a taxi and left.

Back to a scoop of drink, Cheng Yubai opened the private cabinet, took out an identical large grass bowl inside, and threw it into the yard. The big water bowl fell to the ground, revealing the logo at the bottom of the bowl, which was not an inherent scoop of drink marks in the past, but a line of small block inscriptions, writing that a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, Cheng Yubai and Xu Qing made it together.

When did he write in block letters? Even the plaque with a scoop of drink is written in cursive, and I asked him if he had any special meaning? Forget it when he's angry!

Back indoors, Cheng Yubai took a sip of water, sat cross-legged on the ground, and stared at the cabinet in a daze.

There are a lot of things in it, one is lost, there are many pieces, all kinds of ugly designs, there are pots that will knock the brain, and cups that are not easy to use, with all the bells and whistles, which have witnessed Xu Qing's many years.

I don't know how long I watched it, the wine dissipated a little, and the awkward mood was also calmed, Cheng Yubai got up and closed the cabinet door.

As soon as he turned around, he exchanged his eyes with Li Ke.

Cheng Yubai was startled, and his heartbeat also missed: "Master, why are you here?" ”

Li Ke said: "I came here for something, so I was ready to call you." Didn't scare you, did you? ”

"Nope. You sit down first, and I'll make tea. ”

"No need, just say a few words and leave."

Li Ke said that Jingdezhen's old friends were scattered, and they would touch the scene here, and they refused to live with Cheng Yubai, so they lived in Yaoli Ancient Town, more than 100 kilometers away from Jingdezhen, and rarely came over. Before the Baicai reform was not put on the table, Cheng Yubai could still squeeze out time to visit him and his mother in Yaoli, he couldn't even breathe when he was busy this year, and he hadn't been there for a long time.

Cheng Yubai's mother also didn't like Jingdezhen, saying that she was afraid of debt collection in her early years and didn't want to care about his anymore.

Li Ke, it's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, it's that he can't manage it. Cheng Yubai still remembered that Li Ke went to school in college, scolded Wu Yi with his head and face, and then said that his wings were stiff and he was no longer obedient, so he moved to Yaoli in a fit of anger, and he never took care of him again.

After so many years, the master-apprentice relationship is still there, but he has not been a person all the way for a long time.

"Last time I asked Xiao Qi to pick you up for a physical examination, why did you lock him out again? This time stay two more days, and I'll take you there. ”

Cheng Yubai looked at the antique clock on the wall, it was almost ten o'clock. He quickly took out the water cup, poured some water from the thermos pot and handed it to Li Ke. Li Ke said: "I won't go, people are old and afraid of physical examinations, so don't ask me to go again in the future." ”

His stubborn donkey temper Cheng Yubai knew that he couldn't force it, and he was going to be kicked when he was forced to do it, so Cheng Yubai didn't say anything, thinking that it was better to make an appointment with the doctor first, and then deceive people.

Li Ke didn't know what the hell he was thinking, and found that since the last time he came, a new word had been added to the wall.

"Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. Liu Hong's words? ”

Cheng Yubai also looked over and nodded.

"It's not easy for you to ask him to go out of the mountain, right?"

Cheng Yubai said with a smile, it's similar to looking at the thatched house three times, these days the light is deflated at the door of Liu Hong's house. Fortunately, Liu Hong's shelf is enough, and he can also put down his body.

He said to Cheng Yubai, "Compared with the reform group member of Nalaoshzi, teaching and educating people is more in line with my heart." Cheng Yubai, if this is the good death you gave me, I thank you. ”

So he gave it to him.

Li Ke said: "People are as their name suggests, Liu Hong's words are still as vast as ever. ”

The mood of this poem is much more than that. In the first half of the sentence, good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Liu Hong's happiness is based on this "timely rain", and the word "good" is enough to explain everything. Cheng Yubai is a good timely rain, which happened at the right time. Moisturizing things silently is Liu Hong's high hopes for him.

This Hongyuan is written by Cheng Yubai.

Li Ke couldn't tell what kind of taste it was in his heart, it was sour and sweet, and more bitter. He had a pair of rugged black hands, covering the white porcelain surface, and looked at the young man in front of him. He sat upright in front of him, looking like a junior, but Li Ke knew that he had grown up, and he was no longer a little boy who obeyed him in everything when he was a child, and his eyes no longer flashed with childishness and trust. As they grow up, their gaze represents conflict and slander.

He couldn't understand why the child he brought up was disobedient, and in the end he almost turned against him for the sake of outsiders? Now those outsiders he doesn't look down on have become his famous teachers and friends one by one, and they are moving forward with him.

He felt that the world was impermanent, and his heart seemed to be condensed with a layer of frost.

"I watched the news, the Magnolia Mansion will officially open after the New Year?"

"Hmm."

"In addition to Liu Hong, you also invited Wu Yi?"

Cheng Yubai raised his head and suddenly understood Li Ke's intention to come here late at night. He hurriedly explained: "Master, I ......"

"You don't have to say more, I know you didn't plan to hire me."

In the eyes of this unfilial man, he has outdated concepts, stagnant thinking, and is completely out of touch with modern society. He put down his cup and got up and said, "Since you have done it, you can do it well, and you don't have to worry about me...... Anyway, I don't understand and won't agree with what you're doing. ”

"Master, I didn't mean that."

Li Ke didn't listen to him, and pointed in the direction of the hiding cabinet: "Those are the girls inside?" ”

Cheng Yubai subconsciously moved to the side, blocking Li Ke's sight. Li Ke snorted and asked, "The one who was on the show recently was also her?"

"Yes."

"You're together?"
