Chapter 338
Song Jiyun's father, Song Youliang, loves porcelain very much. His greatest wish in life is to keep making unique and good porcelain.

When he was young, he went to Nanjing to buy raw materials and met a businessman from Fujian, who introduced him to Dehua porcelain from his hometown.The glaze color as white as jade, and the delicate and gentle carvings made him astonished immediately.He made a special trip to Dehua, brought back the white clay Qitu used in Dehua porcelain, and fired the unique "jade porcelain" of the Song family, which became the tribute porcelain for royal sacrifices.

In order to prevent people from discovering the secret of the Song family's jade porcelain, he not only changed the name of Baini Qitu, but also sent him clay from Dehua, Fujian, at a high price.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. After a long time, some people who burn porcelain will inevitably have doubts. However, because of the subtle difference in firing temperature between Dehua porcelain and Jingdezhen porcelain, no one has really seen the reason.

But in the end it was Dehua white porcelain.

This is why Song Jiyun tried to launch sweet white porcelain when he first presided over the Songjia Kiln Factory.

Now that she wants to announce the recipe of the Song family's sacrificial porcelain in front of everyone, and use this recipe to burn the Song family's sacrificial porcelain in full view, the first thing she must do is to find a way to get the white clay and Qitu, and to be on the safe side, she He also quietly placed orders with several sellers of Bainiqitu at Liulichang, and agreed a huge amount of liquidated damages.

But now, Zhou Zheng told her that she couldn't buy Bainiqitu.

Song Jiyun's heart sank, but it didn't show on his face.

"Don't be in a hurry, take a breath," said while walking in, "When I asked you yesterday, didn't you say that there were two families who said they couldn't get Bainiqitu and were willing to compensate us according to the contract. Three of them said they would definitely deliver the goods to Ertiao Hutong, Xiejie as agreed, and one even said that the goods were at the Tongzhou Wharf, and they had sent people out of the city to pick them up, and they would deliver them at noon today at the latest."

She stood still under the eaves with a solemn expression: "What's going on? What news can I find out?"

Zhou Zheng was very frustrated, and said: "When you entered the palace, you told me to find a way to buy Baini Qitu no matter what. I knew that you must want to burn a kiln in public. He ran all over Qitu's shops, and privately found two runners in Dehua, Fujian, and asked them to help deliver the goods at a high price.

"I was afraid that people would find out, so I deliberately found a middleman, but who knows what happened in the end.

"The shopkeeper who said that the goods were already in Tongzhou Wharf said that the Bainiqitu they bought from Tianjin at a high price was suddenly confiscated by the Tongzhou Inspection Department just last night. They said that they had illegal salt hidden in the mud. He will be punished severely. The second shopkeeper they sent to pick up the goods has also been imprisoned in the prison of the inspection department, and their big shopkeeper has notified the owner, who is coming here from Nanjing."

Now is not the time to find out who did these things.

Song Jiyun immediately called Wang Hua over, told him what happened, and said, "Can you rush to Tongzhou immediately, and find a way to get those baskets of mud out for me."

Wang Hua responded immediately, and went to Tongzhou with a few servants.

What if someone delays Wang Hua's trip by means?
Song Jiyun felt that she couldn't wait like this.

She thought for a while and asked Zhou Zheng: "Is there a way to contact the Deng family? The Deng family must have brought white clay and Qitu with them when they came to the capital to compete for the order of the Compassion Palace. Let's find a way to get it from them."

If the person who caused her stumbling blocks even this road, then she would have no choice but to find a way to apply for another day for retrial.

During this period, it is best to make up some kind of story to make everyone interested in such twists and turns, so that this matter will spread more widely.

Song Jiyun was wondering who to ask to make up this story, and Hong Xi came over.

He also brought two carts of mud over.

"Your porcelain firing skills are so superb, I think if I were you, I would definitely slap those people in the face and burn a kiln in public to prove my innocence." He asked someone to carry mud for Song Jiyun, " I got the white clay from Deng Yun, see if it is enough. If not, I will get some more."

He also explained: "I originally wanted to get some more for you, but Deng Yun was very suspicious. I was afraid of alarming the enemy, so I bribed the porter who helped them move and quoted a high price, and pretended not to understand, saying that they are stupid. It just happened to build a wall for me, set up a trap, and managed to fool them."

This is really another village with dark willows and bright flowers, with twists and turns.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Song Jiyun thanked repeatedly, and couldn't help but look at Hong Xi more.

She didn't expect Hong Xi to go with her.

If she still can't think of a way after a while, she's going to swindle Bainiqitu of the Deng family.

"You really helped me a lot." Song Jiyun said.

The people next to him had come to their senses, some were helping to unload the threshold, some were helping to carry the sacks, and some were opening the warehouse door.

Song Jiyun invited Hong Xi to sit in his room.

Hong Xi shook his head, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I was a step ahead - I hadn't left the alley with the goods, and I ran into people from the Wucheng Bingma Division head-on. It is said that someone from the Deng family had secretly hidden the iron crossbow .Looking at it, they came here to search. I saw that something was wrong, so I ran away quickly. I didn’t dare to make a detour, or send your things to Xiejie for you, for fear of delaying the time and being stopped halfway.”

After all, Xiejie is outside the city gate, and there are few patrolling people in Shuntian Mansion. If someone robs you, it is very likely that by the time you call people from Shuntian Mansion, the robbers will no longer know where they went.

"We'd better watch here," he said, looking out the door, and said, "Your place is only a few streets away from the Forbidden Palace, so there should be no one so bold as to come and grab it so clearly. ?”

"Probably not." Song Jiyun said, in his heart he was in favor of putting this batch of hard-won Bainiqitu here.

At the beginning, Yuan Yunzhong helped her choose this place to stay because it was close to the imperial palace, more than half of the 24 yamen were here, and the idlers didn't dare to stay longer, not to mention causing trouble.

After hearing this, Hong Xi hesitated and said, "Do you know who is targeting you like this? Master Yuan doesn't care about it?"

"I don't know yet." Song Jiyun said, King Ning and the Yuan family were spinning in her mind non-stop, "When the tiger still takes a nap, even if Mr. Yuan has the heart, there are times when he can't control it. It's best to rely on yourself .”

She thanked him again: "If it weren't for you this time, I would definitely have fallen into a big fall. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. If there is anything I can help in the future, you just open your mouth. I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

A bit of bitterness flashed across Hong Xi's expression, but then he laughed heartily and said, "If you want to thank me, just give me more dividends from our joint venture."

Of course, the help he gave her can't be repaid with more dividends, but his words were a little bit joking, and Song Jiyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will also give dividends, and I will remember the kindness."

But she couldn't help but suspect in her heart that Hong Xi's expression just now was similar to the last time he came to see her.

Does he have something unspeakable?
