Is he teasing me

Zhang Moyan was stunned. Compared with Xiao Guotao's regret and Geng Baishan's hatred, this voice of affirmation of Chen Yun was really different.

Zhang Moyan didn't know what to think as if she was afraid, but this feeling of contradiction fit well with something deep in her consciousness - her mother in the dream loved her so much, but in reality, her mother was in trouble when she encountered it. Abandoned her during kidnapping.

"Is the kiln site you dug up at your construction site the reason why my biological mother came here?" All the previous information about Chen Yun showed that she could not appear in one place for no reason.

"Of course, we went to Luoyang to invite them here." Yuan Hongying's answer was a bit surprising.

"Luoyang," Xiao Xingyu quickly reacted, "Twenty-six years ago, a kiln site was also discovered in Luoyang. My second grandfather Xiao Guoxi was invited by the Luoyang Cultural Relics Bureau to participate in the inspection. That's when you invited him here. ?”

"Yes, our country entered a period of rapid development around 2000, and construction projects were being developed all over the country. It is not surprising for us in the Central Plains to find ancient tombs and ancient relics as soon as the ground is broken. At that time, a Song kiln was suspected to be discovered in Luoyang The site has been widely reported by the media and has become a sensation in the news. The local government attaches great importance to it and has summoned many domestic experts to inspect it, the most authoritative of whom is Mr. Xiao Guoxi.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Yuan's face showed a melancholy look: "Actually, our ancestors had rules that future generations are not allowed to engage in the porcelain manufacturing industry, and they are not allowed to associate with porcelain workers. Ancient porcelain doors like your Xiao family are more We should stay away from it, but we encountered unprecedented difficulties. If anything went wrong, the elders and responsible persons in the family, including me, would face imprisonment. It was also a coincidence of God that a suspected Song Dynasty kiln site was also discovered in Luoyang. Just like us, the experts they invited can naturally judge the situation here. Time can't wait, so we had no choice but to go to Ruyang privately to see Mr. Xiao, hoping that he would be sure. Let’s find out whether the land here is an official kiln from the Song Dynasty, so that we can come to a conclusion early so that we can make the next step.”

Zhang Moyan looked solemn when she heard this, and shook her head slightly: "You are so bold to go against the teachings of your ancestors."

Yuan Hongying, Wang Zhongguo, Wang Wenlong and Xiaowa felt their scalps tense when they heard this sentence.

"What we think is that the Wang family has long since disappeared from the porcelain world and has moved to Ruyang for hundreds of years. As long as the family background is not exposed, there will be no problem." Yuan Hongying explained weakly.

"But it backfired later, didn't it?" Xiao Xingyu tugged at the corner of his mouth and sighed, "My second grandfather is an experienced old mage. His family is famous for being very discerning. As far as I know, my mother-in-law is also an ordinary person. There should be nothing wrong with her. Can you escape their eyes?"

Xiao Xingyu looked at Zhang Moyan, who nodded. In just a few hours, Zhang Moyan actually listened to Xiao Xingyu's open-mouthed mother-in-law. You must know that she still can't call Chen Yun her mother naturally.

"Indeed," Yuan Hongying nodded lowly and sighed sincerely, "we are too optimistic."

Old Mrs. Yuan was a little autistic and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Seeing the situation, Wang Wenlong picked up a glass of wine to warm up the scene: "We can't just talk. Come on, dear nephew, I will toast you couple with Zhongguo and Yanzu. It will make the old lady happy." It’s all thanks to you that we have a banquet in such a luxurious place, come and go!”

Xiao Xingyu smiled and raised his glass happily, and Zhang Moyan couldn't bear to brush it off. When she picked up the glass, she noticed that Xiao Xingyu poured her juice. Immediately, his mind flashed back to how he went crazy after drinking when he and Xiao Xingyu first met... What a psychological shadow this left on others!

Zhang Moyan lowered his head and took a sip of juice before returning to the topic: "How did they find out that you are the Wang family who hold the secret recipe for azure glazed porcelain?"

Mrs. Yuan made up her mind: "We don't dare to admit that we have the secret recipe for azure glazed porcelain."

"But..." She hesitated, "Maybe Mr. Xiao and your mother think we have it."

"Oh?" Xiao Xingyu followed closely, "'They think', what does that mean?"

Yuan Hongying was silent for a moment, but after all she had no intention of concealing anything, she eloquently said: "Back then, there were not hotels everywhere like now. After Mr. Xiao came, we arranged for them to eat and live together in our own home, so that we could entertain the experts. Secondly, it is also convenient to be close to the construction site. Mr. Xiao is approachable and has no pretensions, and he is also very enthusiastic. It was him who found my mother-in-law and carried her back to the house when she fainted from exhaustion. He was very interested in a vase in the house. He looked at it for a long time and asked why we were willing to use such a good vase to grow flowers. "

Zhang Moyan understood it keenly: "Is that vase the plum vase with the picture of Sima Guang smashing the vat?"

"Yes."

"How did you answer him then?"

"We laughed as soon as we heard it and said there was nothing we couldn't bear to do. This bottle was thrown into a pile of junk in the woodshed of the old house. It was planned to be thrown away when the house was renovated. It was my father-in-law who thought it was best to leave it in the room for her. It’s good to grow flowers, so I left them here.”

"In the rags of the firewood shed?" Xiao Xingyu was in disbelief, sighing that the descendants of the Wang family who once kept pace with his own family could actually meet porcelain and not know each other. It is really embarrassing, "Then how can you believe it later? This plum vase is indeed unusual?” “Because Mr. Xiao asked my mother-in-law if she could sell it to him.”

Yuan Hongying made up her mind and said: "Maybe Mr. Xiao had already guessed our identities at that time."

Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu looked at each other. Indeed, something that made a great expert who had seen countless things take the initiative to acquire it made everyone alert.

Yuan Hongying continued: "My mother-in-law tentatively offered the price to 300,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao accepted it. 300,000 yuan was not a small amount 26 years ago when the per capita salary was only 500 to 600 yuan. We hid the bottle that day and never took it out again. The reason why we hid it was not only because my father-in-law passed away early, but also because this plum vase carried too many emotions and memories for the old man, and because we thought it would be a last resort if we had to. You can use this plum vase to offset your investment."

Xiao Xingyu thought for a moment that the Wang family all thought that this plum vase was valuable and could be used as money, but they also didn't expect that it might contain clues about azure glazed porcelain. This sect was indeed useless in the field of porcelain.

Yuan Hongying's words sounded reasonable, but Zhang Moyan felt that something was wrong: "My second grandfather is willing to pay a high price to buy a plum vase. It only shows that the plum vase has a high collection value, but it does not mean that it is the same as Tianqing." Is it related to the secret recipe of glazed porcelain?”

Xiao Xingyu cast an approving look at Zhang Moyan. His logical analysis was so clear, and coupled with the fact that he said "my second grandfather", he strongly demanded that his daughter-in-law's self-consciousness, which is full of ownership spirit, be included in the modern outstanding list. A role model for women.

Yuan Hongying affirmed Zhang Moyan's question: "You are right. What really made us pay attention to it was your mother's intervention."

Zhang Moyan repeated two words emphatically: "Intervention?"

Xiao Xingyu knew what surprised Zhang Moyan and asked, "By using this word, do you mean that my mother-in-law came to you on her own initiative?"

"Yes, she came to us. In fact, we didn't pay much attention to this girl before. Your mother-in-law is very quiet and doesn't talk much. She usually only works with Mr. Xiao and has almost no contact with us. But soon after we rejected Mr. Xiao’s purchase of Mei Ping, your mother took the initiative to find my mother-in-law and offered to make a deal with us. "

Zhang Moyan: "What deal?"

"Well, the content of the deal is that she is responsible for finding evidence for us that the construction site is not the site of an official kiln, and we will give her the plum vase after the dust settles."

"Gift it to—her?" Xiao Xingyu frowned strangely.

As a porcelain master who chased after each other on the road of azure glazed porcelain, he was almost a knee-jerk reaction to the division of key elements. However, as soon as the words came out, he knew he was wrong. , why are you still separated from your mother-in-law? !

He immediately laughed at Zhang Moyan and compensated humbly: "Our mother is really a heroine, so powerful!"

Zhang Moyan was in a daze and did not answer his words. It took a long time before she spoke: "Why is she so confident that she can find evidence that your construction site is not an official kiln?"

"Years later, we also wanted to know the reason. After all, just a few days after they arrived, even Mr. Xiao didn't dare to make any conclusions. How could she have that kind of confidence?! But at that time, we didn't care about these, as long as She can save our lives, no matter how valuable the plum bottle is, she can still give it to her... Later, it turns out that your mother did it! Looking back now, she really seemed to be able to predict the future!"

Having said this, Yuan Hongying, Wang Zhongguo, and Wang Wenlong all showed expressions of admiration on their faces, while Zhang Moyan couldn't help but feel a flash of light on his back as he listened, and his hands under the table began to sweat gradually.

Unexpected prophet?

How could such a thing be possible, and how could it be so simple?

Zhang Moyan swallowed her tight throat and asked, "What did she do?"

Yuan Hongying turned to Wang Zhongguo, who was already looking at her: "After we agreed to your mother's conditions, she selected a few young adults from our family to go to the construction site, and Zhongguo was also there. There were two cleared porcelain pieces in the construction site ruins According to previous research by experts, the pit is an abandoned pit. The reason why it is full of porcelain pieces is that they were previously unqualified and defective products, and they were the waste left behind after being deliberately destroyed by humans. Your mother took them to the porcelain pile day and night. After searching for seven days and seven nights, I finally found a few pieces of porcelain among millions of broken porcelain pieces to piece together a complete bowl bottom. The sun pattern on the bottom of the bowl clearly formed the word "Wu", which is Kou Tian Wu! , this kind of Yangwen is the sign of ancient folk kilns to attract customers, which is enough to deny the identity of this kiln site as an official kiln!"
