Chapter 160 Coming to the door
Liu Erniang picked up the tea and drank it.
In her heart, Mrs. Xie and the Yang family naturally fell into decline as quickly as possible.
She doesn’t care about Mrs. Xie, but she wants the clay stove and the tabloid in Mrs. Xie’s hands.
A merchant holding such a thing in his hand will only lead to disaster.
Besides, why do you thank Madam?
A woman who was kidnapped and sold into a wealthy family should have died long ago. Where does he have the face to manage such things as being in the middle of the media and getting involved in tabloids?
Thinking of this, Liu Erniang frowned. She asked someone to find out that Tong Zixu had someone help write the words "Da Mingfu Tabloid".
Who is invited? Others don't know, but she has already guessed...
That person is most likely Wang Yan.
Tong Zixu was also confused, and because he had some friendship with Wang Yan, he actually asked him to do such a thing. But he didn't think about it carefully. If he couldn't handle this kind of thing, he would lose Wang's face.
How many lives does his boy have, enough to compensate the Wang family?
She wished she could take back all the tabloids that had been released by Daming Mansion and ask the bookstore to hand over its stereotypes.
But she had no position to do so.
If you act rashly, it will be self-defeating.
Therefore, the best way is to make Xie Yuyan dare not print tabloids again, and then she will remind Tong Zixu by making insinuations. If you still want to continue running a tabloid, write some good articles so that you can explain it to Wang in the future.
She was well aware of the affairs of the Wang family. There was a woman from the Wang family whose husband died of a sudden illness and died of a sudden illness less than a month after her marriage. She followed her husband and died, so she was honored by the imperial court.
This shows the etiquette of the Wang family.
How could Wang Yan be involved with a widow?
She helped the Wang family handle the matter. She didn't expect the Wang family to thank her, but she could always bring the two families closer together.
"Second sister, what are you thinking about?" Jia Siniang asked.
“I didn’t think anything of it,” Liu Erniang pretended, picked up the tea, blew it on it, and then took a sip, “I see you like that clay stove, let’s move it to your house and use it!”
Jia Siniang looked happy: "Second sister, don't you need it?"
"The Xie family will send a new one in two days," Liu Erniang lowered her eyes, "It's just a crude little thing. , after using it a few times it becomes boring.”
Jia Siniang laughed from ear to ear after hearing this.
The clay oven was hard to buy. She thought she would be able to get one in two days, but she didn't expect that she would be able to move it back into the house tonight. With this thing, she would not have to leave the house tomorrow.
Jia Siniang left with the clay stove, and Liu Erniang couldn't help but sneered, she was really an inexperienced person. With this in mind, she opened the box again and took out the tabloid inside to read.
What are those things? What is really worth pondering over and over are these few words.
......
Xie Yuyan had a particularly relaxed time these past two days.
The female family members of the Yang family all gathered in the ancestral house to cook and eat. Various noodles were dried in the yard, as well as steamed rice cakes and soaked wine to make tofu.
Ms. Zhang made glue teethers for the children, then wrapped a big one with a wooden skewer and stuffed it into her hand.
Xie Yuyan had seen these in her previous life, but had never eaten them.
Now...
She looked around and saw that Yang's dolls were all squatting there, holding something exactly like hers in their hands.
Two bamboo sticks were twisted in the hands and then stuffed into the mouths of the dolls.
The dolls licked and licked, but she was the only one holding it without moving. Maybe they found that she was different from everyone else, and all their eyes were fixed on her hand.
As a last resort, Xie Yuyan also imitated them and twisted, and then opened her mouth again...
It was not as sweet as expected, but after tasting it carefully, it was unexpectedly delicious.
The children laughed when they saw this, showing the gaping teeth in their mouths.
"Don't eat so much," Mrs. Zhang told the children, and then looked at her, "You will have bad teeth too." Xie Yuyan couldn't help but find it funny. This was the first time she had been reminded of this.
"I have to go out early tomorrow morning," Xie Yuyan told Zhang and Yang Qin in the evening, "Let's rest early!"
Yang Qin was a little eager to try, Mrs. Zhang looked a little nervous.
Xie Yuyan was as calm as ever, picked up the wandering raccoon slave and walked into the inner room.
The Xie family's clay stove will be fired tomorrow, and she has to join in the fun no matter what.
......
Xie Chonghai got up at dawn, ate a bowl of noodles, and went to the pottery kiln.
Sitting on the carriage, Xie Chonghai rubbed his brows and checked the accounts for two days in a row, and he really discovered many clues. Just the amount of china clay purchased every year makes a big difference.
When porcelain clay is cheap, you buy less, but when it is expensive, you buy more. How can this be true?
Xie Chonghai suspected that the eldest brother had taken out the hundreds or even thousands of silver coins and given them to Xie Qi.
The carriage stopped, Xie Chonghai immediately walked out of the carriage, and the steward of the pottery kiln had already come out to greet him.
"How is it?" Xie Chonghai asked.
The steward said with a smile on his face: "I just took it out of the kiln. It looks good to me. I will let the craftsman check it later. If there is no problem, it can be sent to the shop."
Where can I send it to a store? We selected those with better appearance and took them directly to the Liu family.
The Liu family would use it themselves, and give the rest to their servants as rewards. Anyway, with this kiln, they would be on business.
Xie Chonghai walked inside.
The steward has been on tenterhooks for the past two days, fearing that if the fire goes out, all the clay stoves taken out will be broken. Fortunately, only a dozen of them cannot be used.
The rest are just minor flaws.
Anyway, this kind of clay stove is not as expensive as porcelain, so this problem really doesn't matter.
"It was just placed here. Take a look." The steward pointed to the clay stove in the house as if he was offering a treasure.
As soon as the steward finished speaking, he saw several people from Miao Shun approaching. These people were about to inspect it more carefully, but the steward frowned and winked at them.
At times like this, don’t join in the fun.
"Second Master," Miao Shun ignored the steward, "Let's take a look at the clay stove."
The clay stove was sent into the kiln by several craftsmen to be fired. Is it properly fired? , they had to investigate to find out. They had just seen a few deformed clay ovens, and they all suspected that the heat in the kiln was not right.
Xie Chonghai's eyes fell on Miao Shun, and then he frowned. It was Miao Shun who took the lead in causing trouble a few days ago. What is he going to do?
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little tense. Xie Chonghai was about to speak when he saw the steward running over.
"Second Master, Mrs. Xie from the Yang family is here."
Xie Chonghai couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, what is Xie Yuyan doing here? Probably here to inquire about the news...
“Tell her,” Xie Chonghai said, “I’m busy today and can’t care about entertaining guests. Let her find another time to send the post to Xie’s house.”
< br>
The steward pursed his lips: "Master, Madam Xie is not here to see you."
He paused and his voice became softer: "She came to see our clay oven."< br>
Xie Chonghai looked at the steward: "What did you say?"
The steward had no choice but to continue: "She also brought people from the county government with her, saying... she said she wanted to help us with the examination. Goods."
Xie Chonghai sneered after a moment: "I have never heard of an outsider coming here to criticize my pottery kiln."
The steward said: "I said the same, the second master has the final say, but Madam Xie said..."
Before the steward finished speaking, a voice rang out.
“I taught you how to make a clay pot, so naturally I have to judge whether the clay pot is good or not.”
