Chapter 20: The Broken Table

"What are the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea?"

Before he could ask this gentle sentence, he saw Pei Fangwu's face turn pale, and he hurriedly walked inside.

Then just go and check it out. Gentleness closed her mouth, picked up her skirt and followed.

The turquoise porcelain table, with the glaze flowers of the eight immortals crossing the sea, is exquisite. Unfortunately, the table pier was shattered, and the table top was cracked.

"Who did it?!" Pei Fangwu asked with red eyes.

The people around didn't dare to say anything, and the old man in charge said tremblingly: "People have always been carefully guarded, who knows that the caretaker just went to a latrine, and when he came back, he ......"

"Didn't I say that you must not leave an inch, not an inch!" Pei Fangwu roared: "Spending so much manpower and material resources, so much time, do you think it's a joke!"

This is the first time that Wen Wen has seen Pei Fangwu angry, the lines on his gentle face suddenly hardened, his eyes were fierce, and his lips were pursed. Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this at this time, Wen Rou really suddenly found that this person is very good-looking, especially the bridge of the nose, straight and straight, although it is slightly hooked, but it is a little elegant, not dark.

Bright and dazzling, not square.

"These eight immortals crossed the sea, are they going to be sold to anyone?"

Seeing that no one around dared to speak, he came back to his senses and asked in a low voice.

Rubbing his forehead, Pei Fangwu sighed: "This is something that is ready to compete for glory at the ceramic conference, and it has been fired for two months, and a lot of the same ones have been eliminated, so I picked out such a set of fine products." But now, there is only half a month before the ceramics conference. ”

It's too late to do it again, and you can replace it with something else, and the odds of winning are not great.

The ceramics conference has been won by the Xiao family over the years, and this year Pei Fangwu wanted to try it out, and he might be able to snatch the name of the first kiln in Xingcheng from Xiao Jingtang's mouth.

But now, I am afraid that this wish is about to be frustrated.

The people standing next to him didn't dare to come out, Pei Fangwu was angry for a long time and gradually calmed down, rubbing his forehead slightly tired and said: "That's it, take that set of dishes with a hundred flowers and go to the top, dismiss the guards, and my Pei family will never use it again." ”

“...... Be. The others responded, Pei Fangwu turned his head to look at Gentle, and smiled reluctantly: "It's not too early, let's send Mrs. back first." Since it is okay not to make beads for the time being, then the lady will rest for two days. ”

"Good. Nodding in response, he followed the little maid out gently.

Pei Fangwu stood in place, clenching his fists and looking at the fragments of that place, very unwilling.

"Although Madame is a member of the Xiao family, our young master really doesn't treat you as an outsider. Walking on the road, the maid in front couldn't help but look back at her, and said with a low smile: "Let Madame see and laugh." ”

Gently pursed her lips, lifted her skirt and asked in a low voice, "Is the ceramic conference important?"

"Nature matters. The little maid nodded: "It's a big event in Xingcheng and the surrounding towns, and even there will be merchants in the capital who come over with porcelain." The top prize of the annual porcelain conference brings a year of good business. ”

It's like the gimmick of the draft, the one who gets the first place has a reputation, and it is better to sell things. Nodding gently: "Did Pei Ji win before?"

"Never won. The little maid sighed: "Pei Ji doesn't have any tricks in making ceramics, and only after the young master came, did he have a little more glaze." It's just that this change is more eye-catching than the Xiao family's inlaid gems on ceramics. ”

Rubbing gems on ceramics? Gently pouted: "Is that still a ceramic conference? Wouldn't it be better to be more valuable than whose gemstones?"

"The Xiao family's business is dominant, and the ceramic conference is almost their final say, so it is not easy for the young master to fight his way out. The little maid said helplessly: "If the lady can relieve the young master one or two, the slave and maid will be grateful." ”

Glancing at her, Gentle suddenly became a little interested: "What's your name?"

"Pinch. The little maid bowed her head: "Madame can call slaves and maids if she has any orders in the future." ”

This maid is very clever, and she will feel sorry for her master, but she has a good impression of her, so she responded immediately, and then continued to go out.

Back in the courtyard, not long after sitting down, Shu Fang came over with a frown and said, "Master, something happened." ”

"What's the matter?" Gentle became nervous again.

"The second young master took the winning vase of last year's ceramic conference as a gift, and welcomed the daughter of a commoner back as a concubine, and he will have a concubine wine in the near future. ”

Winning the Treasure Bottle?Gentle was stunned, and his eyes lit up: "What does it look like?"

Shu Fang said solemnly: "I didn't see the slave maid, but it is said that I met the second young master Pingshui......"

"What is this, I asked what the vase looks like, who cares about his concubine!" Gentle stood up and approached her: "Have you ever seen the treasure vase that won the championship?"

"......" was stunned for a long time, and then Shu Fang reacted, sighed long, lowered his eyes and said: "I have seen, the eight-color treasure vase, the embryo made in the best porcelain kiln of the Xiao family, hooked with golden glaze flowers, inlaid with gems of eight colors, very gorgeous." ”

Sure enough, it is the eyes of a businessman, it sounds vulgar, such a cheesy bottle can only be sold for money, and it is not worth collecting. Gently pouting, sit down and begin to meditate.

However, thinking about it, Du Wenrou seemed to have finally reacted that Xiao Jingtang was going to take a concubine, and there was a sharp pain in her heart, so painful that she covered her chest and howled twice.

"Grandma!" she shouted: "Sooner or later, other people's concubines can form three palaces and six courtyards, even if there are no concubines, they won't look at you more, what are you distressed about?"

Why are you so uneasy, people make it clear that they don't like you, everyone will live a new life, always thinking about what others are doing? A person here is so distressed, but people are beautiful in their arms and the moon is full, it's not worth thinking about.

Shu Fang was startled and hurriedly wanted to help her, but she heard a slight noise at the door. Looking back, Xiao Jingtang didn't know when he came, he was leaning against the door frame, looking at his master in pain with pleasure in his eyes.

Gritting her teeth, Shu Fang picked up her gentleness and whispered, "The second young master is here." ”

This person specially picked the time to see her jokes, right? Gently pursed his lips, beat his chest twice, stood up and looked at the man: "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Your maid has already told you what you want to say. Raising his feet and walking over, Xiao Jingtang said: "I want to take a concubine, my mother is far away, you seem to have to get a cup of tea." ”

"Don't go. Gently pouted: "I don't want to go." ”

Although he knew that she was definitely reluctant to go, Xiao Jingtang never thought that this person would refuse so bluntly.

"You're also my wife. After a pause, he said, "I also have to go according to the courtesy." ”

"According to the courtesy?" gently raised her eyebrows, glanced at him, and snorted: "According to the courtesy, the concubine must be allowed to enter the door by the main room, second young master, have you come according to this courtesy?

"......" Xiao Jingtang squinted, looked at her for a while, and said, "What do you want?"

If the third prince hadn't come, he would have planned to make this happy event more lively, and there would be no place for her in the hall at all. She still kicked her nose in the face.

"I'm just a poor woman living under your roof, what can I do?" flattened his mouth, softened, and looked at him with a wink: "You're going to take a concubine, don't you really plan to give me a little compensation for this main room?"

Xiao Jingtang glanced at her: "I won't give you any compensation other than money." But the eldest lady of the Du family, will she be short of money and silk?"

"Lacking! Why is it not lacking!" "Gentle eyes are green: "You said to give money earlier, then I will directly agree!"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The expression on Xiao Jingtang's face was shocked at first, and then it became an undisguised disgust: "You look like this, but you really don't match your identity at all, didn't you have the best face in the past, and you couldn't pull your face the most? How can you know the benefits of silver now?"

"Whoever can't get along with money is stupid!" muttered softly in a low voice, ignoring his taunts, licking his face and asking with a smile: "How much money does the second young master plan to give me?"

It's hard to say how much to give, if you give less, it seems that he is stingy, and if you give too much, this woman is not worth it. Xiao Jingtang lowered his eyes and gently stroked his sleeves: "You say." ”

"It's really hurtful to talk about silver. He smiled softly and said: "It's better like this, the second young master will give me the eight-treasure bottle that he wants to make a dowry for others to play with for a long time, and then return to Zhao, I will go to drink your concubine's tea in a proper manner, how about it?"

Eight Treasure Bottles?Xiao Jingtang sneered: "Do you think I don't know what kind of calculation you are playing? That thing is precious, and if it is broken, you will not be able to get it back for a second one." ”

"You man, why are you so small-bellied?" pouted gently: "Just look at it, who has nothing to do with you?" If the second young master is really not at ease, let people bring things now, and I will see it in front of you, how about it?"

Glancing at her up and down, Xiao Jingtang was a little puzzled. What did the woman have to do with the bottle, but it didn't matter, in front of him, even if she wanted to, he could catch it.

"Butler, go and bring the Eight Treasure Vase, tell Qiushui there, and send it over later. ”

"Yes. The butler outside the door answered, and within half an hour, the bottle was delivered to Gentle.

It was similar to what I imagined, so I wiped my hands gently, and picked it up seriously and looked at it. Xiaojia porcelain kiln should have a very good master, the bottle is very regular, but not rigid, the tire is thin and transparent, and the gems on it are even more dazzling.

This is still last year's thing, even if Pei Fangwu's Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea are not broken, they may not be comparable.

The conference, what you want is a gimmick, what is luxurious and what wins, in this regard, Pei Ji is indeed not as rich as the Xiao family.

"Have you seen enough?" Xiao Jingtang asked in a low voice.

The woman in front of him didn't reply to him, her eyes were full of seriousness, reflecting gems, but they were a little sparkling and moving.
