It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 700: The God of Earth Will Come and Seduce Souls

Naturally, the news brought by Master Li was all good news.

Taoist Priest Xuancheng of Yongle Taoist Temple outside Chang'an wanted to make a statue of the founder Laozi, but all he could find were clay sculptures that could not express the spirit and grace of the founder. One day, he saw a porcelain sculpture by chance and got the idea that it would be a great thing if he could make one and put it in the Taoist temple.

He was also familiar with Master Li, so he mentioned this matter. Master Li immediately recommended Ye Xueke, saying that he could make exquisite porcelain that the emperor and empress needed, and that he must have a team of craftsmen behind him. So, why not ask him to help.

Taoist Master Xuancheng was extremely happy and said that he would spare no expense to make the matter happen.

That's why Master Li came to find Ye Xueke excitedly.

Master Wu couldn't help but say, "This is a big deal! Boss Ye, this is really an endless source of wealth!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Xueke said in a very good manner.

"Think about it, Taoist Xuancheng is a very powerful figure in Chang'an City, and he is also the junior brother of Master Xu. He vowed to make such a statue, and other Taoist temples, and even Taoist temples in many places in the future, will naturally follow suit. But if only you, Ye Xueke, can make it, they will naturally come to you. By extension, if wealthy families, dignitaries, and famous families also know about this, they will definitely want to worship a porcelain statue at home instead of those clay Buddhas. It seems so classy... Do you understand? This is a huge wealth that you have caught up with!"

Master Wu was a little excited. The more he spoke, the more he seemed to see white silver and shining gold before his eyes.

"This...we haven't done it before." Ye Xueke was still vague.

"If you can make such thin white porcelain, how can you not make this kind of statue?" Master Li knocked on the table, "Go and try it quickly. Taoist Xuancheng has already given me 100 gold coins, and I have brought them to you."

At this time, Ye Xueke noticed that Master Li had been carrying a bag. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of golden little gold ingots, which were extremely exquisite.

This kind of gold ingot can be called a Taoist temple artifact. I don't know how many people want to ask for one ingot, and they pay three times the price, and they have to rush to buy it. But now it was given to Ye Xueke so easily. No matter how calm he was, he was excited at this moment and indulged in the light of money.

"Tell me, isn't this a Feng Shui house you live in?" Master Li looked at him askance, "These two big deals must have earned back the money you made from your house a long time ago, right?"

Ye Xueke nodded repeatedly and agreed to the matter quickly.

He did not care about the affairs in the back house and quickly got on the carriage and left the city. The reason why he was able to do the porcelain business was that he had a large porcelain firing workshop and many outstanding craftsmen working for him.

Because he earned a lot, he paid them a lot. Therefore, these people were willing to work more even if they had to work overtime. Hearing that they were going to make porcelain statues again, it really aroused the spirit of research of these craftsmen, and they started working immediately.

However, because the soil outside Chang'an City is not particularly good, and we have been busy firing white porcelain in recent days, there is not enough raw materials.

What should the craftsmen do?

Ye Xueke started to worry again. Someone said that the broken porcelain pieces brought back from the Pingyang Palace were still piled up in the ravine, waiting to be cleaned up and used again. Now, why not use them again, so as not to waste the previous efforts?

After resolving this matter, Ye Xueke felt that he could finally go home and lie down for two days. So he quickly harnessed the carriage and returned to his mansion. Because he was in a good mood, he bought some cloth, accessories and food for his female relatives on the way, intending to share his happiness with them.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the inner house, he heard a lot of noise in the concubine Yufen's room. The sound was obviously not the women laughing or quarreling, but strange screams.

He ran in quickly and saw his wives and concubines hiding in the corner, trembling with fear. The concubine Yufen, dressed in a red robe and holding a long black brush in her hand, shouted in a strange tone: "The underworld will open its doors to take people in soon. I want to take a closer look at the names in the Book of Life and Death!"

How can she still be a concubine Yufen? This is clearly the behavior of a man.

She suddenly stood on the table, kicked all the teapots and teacups to the ground, and flipped her hands, as if she really had an account book in her hands. She looked left and right, laughed, and shouted: "There are too many people in the Ye family, let's just get rid of two of them. This Ye Qingrong and her husband Yuan Heshan, just get rid of them!"

Upon hearing this, Yu immediately became furious and shouted, "Yufen, what are you doing! This is the eldest daughter of our Ye family, my biological daughter, what are you going to do! Whatever you want to do! If you are crazy, go out and do it! We don't have people like you in our Ye family!"

She turned around and saw Ye Xueke coming back, and she cried out loudly, "Master, this woman is crazy, sell her out quickly! We can't keep such a person in our Ye family!"

Ye Xueke's eyes were also full of fire. He was already over 40 years old and had only one daughter. Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law were quite smart and had even started to help him with business, even if he didn't have a son in the future, his daughter could still inherit the family business.

This concubine Yufen is talking nonsense. Could it be that she really wants to take their lives?
This is absolutely intolerable!

"Come here! Catch this bitch and beat her!" Ye Xueke yelled at his servants to catch the concubine Yufen, but who knew that this woman seemed to be possessed by a ghost, and no one could get close to her. She even found a flaw and found an exit from the encirclement of these servants. She rushed out in one step, ran out of the Ye family gate, and was never seen again.

Everyone chased after him in a hurry, making quite a noise.

However, Ye Xueke was a person who cared about his reputation and felt that this was not a big deal.

He stood at the door and looked around, and finally withdrew all the people and closed the door tightly. He ordered the servants, "From now on, this woman will no longer exist in the Ye family! Don't mention this woman again!"

How could the servants dare to go against the master's wishes? They all nodded in agreement, kept silent, and went about their business.

Yu came over, hugged Ye Xueke's arm and burst into tears, begging, "Master, can we not live here anymore?"

"Why?" Ye Xueke's face turned even worse.

"Although this is a big house with a good environment, our family has been in trouble since we moved here. We haven't had a moment of peace. If anything happens to my daughter and son-in-law again, I won't live anymore!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just a madman talking nonsense, and you believe it!" Ye Xueke was even more displeased, "You know this is a Feng Shui auspicious house! Do you know how much money I have made since moving here? It's the sum of our first half of our lives!"
