The dew was heavy at night, and when Liang Peiqiu returned to the clouds, his feet were already soaked, and his black cloth shoes had a large water stain. The little boy was about to enter the guest room to deliver medicine, he took it easily, put the cane in the crook of his arm, and called softly: "Shi Nian." ”

No response.

Xiao Tong explained: "He is not in a good condition, he was in a coma when he was sent, and he began to have a high fever after a while, I have invited a familiar doctor to come and see, and the doctor said that tonight is especially important, if the high fever does not subside, I am afraid it will ......."

Liang Peiqiu didn't say anything more, and cooperated with Xiaotong to feed Shi Nian medicine, and told him to watch Shi Chen boil another dose of decoction. After the child retreated, Liang Peiqiu sat in front of the bed, dressed in a layer of moonlight, and his face was widowed.

After the two decoctions went down, the high fever of the year was relieved, and blood appeared on his face, the child asked Liang Peiqiu to rest, Liang Peiqiu refused, twisted a sweat towel and applied it to the forehead of the year, still sitting in the previous position, motionless.

After I don't know how long, Shi Nian opened his eyes and stared at a dark shadow by the window for a long time before he spoke: "A year ago, during the Lantern Festival, Gongzi designed An Shijiu to be urgently recalled to Beijing, and he was seriously ill with a cold that night, and I remember that you also sat in front of his bed like this. In the blink of an eye, time flies. ”

In the midsummer of the same year, Childe left.

In the twilight of the same year, Wang Yu left, and Xu Dangjia was also depressed. The Hutian kiln and the Anqing kiln were all in his hands.

The 55th year of Qianlong is really a long year.

Shi Nian smiled: "Is my play good?" After this play, the dead eunuch should believe in your loyalty, right? ”

Liang Peiqiu took off the sweat towel, touched his forehead with the back of his hand, the high fever subsided, it should be a life, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the strength that had lasted all night was also drained.

He looked at Shi Nian and said with some frustration: "You don't want to die? I said earlier that the town is not peaceful, can't you go to Anan's side and study well? Why do you have to come back! If you have a good one, I, I don't know how to explain to Brother Liu! ”

"What kind of paradise do you think Yaoli is? I also heard about the change of Hutian kiln there, that is, Anan, who has no relationship with Hutian kiln, and will be worried because it is his brother's hard work, let alone me? There are many other people in the kiln who have a good relationship with me, how can I relax? Besides, you're still here. ”

When Liang Peiqiu asked him to return to his hometown to deliver books to Anan and attach his cherished "Hengqu Quotations", he had a bad premonition, and sure enough, not long after leaving, he heard that Xu Zhong had framed the court officials and was imprisoned. After discussing with Anan, he decided to come back to have a look, but on the way, he heard the news that Wang Yu had hanged himself.

The little god turned his face and ruthlessly seized the Anqing kiln, and took over the Hutian kiln, and for a while the people's grievances were boiling, and there were many discussions, and no one knew whether it was true or not.

He hurried back to Jingdezhen, but Liang Peiqiu refused to see him, and he was more and more sure that something had happened.

"I don't know what happened, but I always remember the look on your face on the night of the Lion's Alley, and it told me that you weren't a bad person. How can Childe's best friend be a bad person? ”

In the autumn after Childe's death, he often drifted alone on a canopy boat, staying up all night without sleeping, and at that time it was determined that there was an inhumane affection between them.

Liang Peiqiu could never hurt Hutian Yao and Xu Zhong. Wang Yu treats him with appreciation, and it is impossible for him to turn against him. What's going on? Why did An Nineteen use him and test him again and again?

Shi Nian asked him, "Would you like to talk to me?" ”

Why doesn't Liang Peiqiu want to? He has no one to say to him today, except for his years. Liang Peiqiu put her hands on her knees, as if she was about to grasp something, and tightened her hands, but it was in vain to open nothing.

He was frustrated, deeply depressed. From appearing at that time to cooperating with him to show An Shijiu without asking the reason, Liang Peiqiu has always had an unspeakable frustration.

He said: "Soon after you left, something happened to Anqing kiln. There was a nest of moths in the account room to evade taxes, and An Nineteen took the handle. An Nineteen did not manage the Qingyao kiln, but used this to coerce Uncle Wang to dig a trap for Xu Zhong. Xu Zhong lost his words after drinking, and was arrested by An 19, and was imprisoned for the crime of framing the court officials, I went to intercede for Xu Zhong and Hutian Kiln, but An 19 forced me to choose one of Hutian Kiln and Anqing Kiln, I had no choice. ”

He went to visit Xu Zhong in prison, Xu Zhong scolded him for crying and fake mercy, blamed him for Brother Liu's death, and pointed to his nose to question his intentions. He went to see Wang Yu, who accused him of being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and ignoring Anqing Kiln, who had raised him for many years, for his own selfishness, and was really ungrateful.

He was in the canopy boat, and there was no way out.

Xu Zhong said that Brother Liu was a righteous person, but he didn't understand, and taught Brother Liu to fight with the sky. After Brother Liu's death, he understood that some high righteousness must be guarded, and you know that Brother Liu was a person during his lifetime, and the top and bottom of Hutian Kiln are willing to advance and retreat with him. They used the prestige of a century-old folk kiln to demonstrate to An 19. ”

The funny thing is that Wang Yu, who has always been upright, encountered a major event that shook his net worth, but he completely lost his previous demeanor. He said, "Xiao Liang, you have a pure character and are indecisive, how can you fight with the sky? It's Xu Zhiliu, didn't he become a deserter in the end? Don't interrupt me first, and listen to me, Wuchang and Jiangnan Hall have been fighting for half a month due to the construction of the site, and no one has been paying attention to it, do you know why? Let me tell you the reason, the owner of the Wuchang Guild Hall has already greeted the Yamen, and wants to fight to force the Jiangnan Guild Hall away and occupy its construction area. And the owner of the Jiangnan Hall and the master of the Three Kilns and Nine Societies have a nepotistic relationship, which involves the face of Jiangnan, and will never back down. The two factions fought together, no one could fight for anyone, and then they couldn't, and they found the crux of the problem when they traced back to the approval documents, and it turned out that the documents of the Jiangnan Hall had Xu Zhiliu's name on them! In the early two years, the owner of the museum was helpless in Jingdezhen, and begged Xu Zhiliu to help him move around, Xu Zhiliu understood that it was not easy for him, and worked tirelessly for him. Now that he has caused a commotion because of this name, the Jiangnan Hall has only understood, An Nineteen sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and uses them to contain each other, not for anything else, in order to push the Hutian kiln to the front altar, Xu Zhiliu is dead, An Nineteen still has to whip the corpse, not once, twice or three times, this kind of villain, what kind of justice do you still want to fight with him, isn't it a joke? ! Jingdezhen is this piece of heaven, no one can turn over it, Xiaoliang, is it okay to accept your fate? ”

An 19 determined that the "uprising" of Xu Zhong and Hutian Yao was all caused by Xu Zhiliu. Xu Zhong has been imprisoned, but An Shijiu still refuses to let go of Xu Zhiliu and whips him repeatedly. Anqingyao is suspected of tax evasion and tax evasion, and has been reported to the household department, Wang Yu's hair turned white for a few days, grabbed his hand and asked hard, "Xiaoliang, if you are one step late, the documents will not be intercepted back when you reach the household department." If you offend An Nineteen, the day of Hutian Kiln is the tomorrow of Anqing Kiln, why don't you make a decision? What the hell are you thinking? Are you forcing me to death to give up? ”

He didn't want to be forced to die, he just couldn't choose. On one side is the Anqing kiln, the parents of life, and on the other hand, the Hutian kiln, the beloved of Brother Liu. He didn't understand why he had to choose one or the other.

Wang Yu said, "Xiaoliang, you don't have the ability to love the house and Wu, you just don't have a choice." If you feel embarrassed, you can only say that the person in your heart is more important, right? ”

At that time, it was rumored that Anqing Kiln was going to suffer, and Hutian Kiln would not be guaranteed, and the people in the town were panicking, and they were looking for a way out.

He lost a leg and was still labeled a traitor.

He didn't know why this was happening, why did he have to be forced to choose? "Am I a piece of wood? Even if they are plants and trees, who would dare to conclude that they must be ruthless? Is it wrong for me to be reluctant to let the Hutian kilns and porcelain workers be destroyed? Is my morality used to finish off myself? ”

Liang Peiqiu said, "Later, I figured out that the so-called one of the two choices was just a cover, and I didn't have a choice at all." An 19 didn't force me, but asked me to bow my head and give in to him. ”

"And then?"

"Later, as the outside world said, I forced Uncle Wang to sign the transfer letter, and Anqing kiln came to my name. After that, Uncle Wang was humiliated and committed suicide by hanging himself at home. ”

"I don't believe it, you ......"

Liang Peiqiu shook his head: "At that time, how could you believe that a person who was cornered and still alive? ”

"Of course I believe that Childe is such a person! At the beginning, An 19 used Anan to force his son to bow his head, how could he not be humiliated? What did he endure humiliation for? Do you think he's really blinded by power? You're wrong! Even when it comes to this today, I'm not afraid to say more, do you remember that Hutian kiln and Anqing kiln were the first to compete for the first kiln, and Anqing kiln died in a kiln accident? The man had already suffered from a stubborn illness and would die soon, so he took the initiative to find Gongzi for advice, and exchanged his life for a sum of silver, and Gongzi arranged a way back for his wife, and I didn't know it until I saw the half-wife's wife in Yaoli, and I didn't know that I had misunderstood Gongzi all along. ”

Shi Nian's eyes were red when he said that he was excited, "There is also Huang Jiazhou's fight, if it weren't for Gongzi coming forward, do you think it would end so hastily?" There is no shortage of cholera, and I don't know how many people will die. Gongzi also promised the governor that if he had the opportunity to meet the Jingmian Sheng, he would definitely plead to the emperor and seek justice for them. ”

As he spoke, he took out a handwritten letter from Chief Feng Zhou and handed it to Liang Peiqiu, "Childe didn't say anything, even if I was by his side every day, he didn't reveal it at all, he was probably protecting me, right?" This letter was discovered one day when I was reading a book with Anan, and I found it in one of the books. It turned out that the son curried favor with the dead eunuch in order to lie dormant until the day of the saint. He keeps saying that power is charming, maybe he really wants that power, right? With power, there are no bad people around......"

Liang Peiqiu held the letter, the letter was hot, and his blood was also hot. He could barely hold back his tears, his brother Liu, his brother Liu...... How could An Nineteen treat them like this?

He persecuted Brother Liu and Uncle Wang, how many more people will be persecuted in the future?

Shi Nian said: "Liang Peiqiu, tell me the truth, let me help you." ”

Liang Peiqiu looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.

His frustration lies in patience, and there is no light in his long endurance. But when he appeared, he was the one who had been with Brother Liu for a long time, and now he was by his side. He said, "I only have one son. In the future, I will follow you, and you will be my host. ”

"Years ......"

"Don't feel sorry for me, I don't feel pain, if you can do something for you, it's worth dying. If Childe is still here, he will be happy for me. I was originally an orphan with no name and no surname, and with my son, I had a name in this world. I'm glad to meet you. ”

Liang Peiqiu's tears rained down.

He told Shi Nian that the truth was that when they realized that An Shijiu's ambition was not to destroy a certain kiln but to become the new owner of the kiln, an even greater humiliation swept over Xu Zhong and Wang Yu. Hutian Kiln and Anqing Kiln have exhausted their whole body and blood, for the continuation of their hard work, they can steal their lives, but if they want to give their hard work to An Nineteen, they would rather die than succumb.

How can an insatiable eunuch be kind to their hard work?

Over the decades, they have accompanied the ups and downs of the dynasty, and they have already cultivated extraordinary intentions, and almost at the same time, they decided to sacrifice their egos. Liang Peiqiu asked people to find a relationship and let them meet in prison.

The former enemies sat and drank again, the world was jammed, and the only bright moon hung overhead.

They used water as wine, and Xu Zhong first said: "I have offended the eunuch fiercely, and he regards me as a thorn in his side, and he is bound to get rid of it as soon as possible." Don't rob me about this, let me go first. ”

Wang Yu smiled: "It's the first time in my life to see your old boy so decisive." ”

"What? Are you not convinced? ”

"It's true that no one can win you in terms of drinking, but in terms of brains, you still need some thought."

"Wang Yu! You designed to harm me, Lao Tzu couldn't bear to worry about you, and you still buried me? Xu Zhong was so angry that his mustache trembled, "If I hadn't drunk your old wine, you would have thought I was ......."

"Even without me, sooner or later you will be bad in wine, bad in your rotten mouth. When did you drink too much without holding your mouth open? It's not the first time I've told you to quit drinking, have you heard? Wang Yu lectured him with a straight face, "People wish you drank too much horse urine, everything is easy to discuss, why don't you understand this truth?" In the past, Xu Zhiliu often wiped your buttocks, who will wipe you in the future? Do you count on trabeculae? He is still childlike, just to save you or me, he has tossed and turned for several nights without closing his eyes, how can you bear to burden him again? Anyway, no one will talk about you anymore after this time. ”

"Lao Wang, you ......"

"Anqing kiln's evasion of porcelain tax is a certainty, and it is ironclad evidence that cannot be escaped. If I want to keep the Anqing kiln, I have to die. You're different, you're all framed by me here, and I'll write you a book to prove your innocence. He turned his head to look at Liang Peiqiu, "This letter will be kept by you until the time is ripe......

Wang Yu paused for a moment, his face was solemn, "Xiao Liang, what I said to you at the beginning, it was really my selfishness, I am reluctant to give up Anqing kiln, and I am not reluctant to embarrass you." You're a good boy and shouldn't have to deal with this, but now ...... Now that he is forced to come here, he has no way to retreat in the game, so let's catch up. ”

At such a life-and-death juncture, Wang Yu's face never changed, which made Liang Peiqiu feel stable.

"From today onwards, Anqing Kiln will be handed over to you. Xiaoliang, the road ahead is dangerous, and I hope to cherish myself. ”

Wang Yu dipped his fingers in water and wrote a few strokes on the table.

That's the word "forbearance".

Without waiting for Xu Zhong to say anything, Wang Yu had already handed over the prepared letters to him one by one. Seeing this, Xu Zhong thought that he had already prepared before he came.

This side can be described as goodbye.

Xu Zhiliu couldn't bear the pain of eternal separation between heaven and man, he struggled and redeemed, but he knew that he really didn't have the ability to love the house and Wu, and he couldn't fight with the sky. Only Wang Yu said, don't let him accept his fate, he won't have a good life in this world, or like the moonlight he loves, fall high on the ruins.

So, in a tacit understanding between the two sides, in front of An Nineteen, An Qingyao officially arrived under Liang Peiqiu. Of course, An 19 would not be gullible to him, so on an ordinary night, Wang Yu committed suicide by hanging himself.

He used the force of death to prove the rupture.

Liang Peiqiu couldn't bear it.

He said to Shi Nian over and over again: "Uncle Wang treats me very well, very well. ”

Wang Yu died, and he couldn't even erect a monument for him, so he could only write in his heart: From now on, stroll through the sky, goodbye to Yinrong and dreams. The grace of my father, the sea is wide and the sky is long, the son will never forget, and I hope that my father will rest in peace.

Rest in peace for the Father.
