Xianyu Zhongtong’s purpose of asking for porcelain is not to appreciate it, but to verify it.

Verify whether the porcelain fired from Gu Qing's porcelain kiln is qualified to become tribute porcelain.

Mubin soon found several porcelains of different shapes, from wide-mouthed vases to pen washing to dishes, and placed them on a short-legged table in large and small size.

Xian Yu Zhongtong observed for a long time and nodded affirmatively: "The color is bright, spotless and scattered. It looks like the appearance is indeed the best. The glaze drawing technique is slightly flawed, so just change to a top-grade glaze technique."

After saying that, Xian Yu Zhongtong picked up a porcelain bowl and threw it to the ground. The porcelain bowl broke in response to the sound. Xian Yu Zhongtong picked up a piece of broken porcelain, carefully observed the inner tube, and looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but be surprised: "I have never seen such a thin, white and tight inner tube. It seems that what I said is true, and I am indeed qualified to become a tribute porcelain."

Seeing that he didn't ask Gu Qing's lawsuit, Mu Bin stared at the porcelain and couldn't help but curiously said, "Jie Shuai, Gu Qing is troubled now. Wan Sheng is quite in love with Gu Qing when he sees Jie Shuai and Gu Qing, and asked Wan Sheng to inquire about the reason for sealing the porcelain kiln. Do you have any intention of helping him?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong did not answer, and his eyes were still staring at the pieces of porcelain, as if he was admiring a perfect work of art, his eyes full of admiration.

"Zhi Yuan, come and see the inner tube of this porcelain..." Xian Yu Zhongtong waved to Mubin.

Mu Bin took the observation for a while and nodded and praised: "Good porcelain! It is well-known. No wonder he has the confidence to follow the path of Zhenguan Office. If it is not unexpected, it is definitely worth it to be designated as a tribute porcelain, unless the matter is mixed with other reasons and has to be abolished."

Xian Yu Zhongtong also smiled and said, "Gu Qing's son is really good at writing, poetry, sand table, and porcelain burning. He found many surprises on him in just a few days. I really want to take him to Yizhou at this moment."

Mu Bin said curiously: "Why is Jishuai so concerned about this porcelain?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong said slowly: "I have been appointed as the governor of Jiannan Road. Who in the court has made efforts in it?"

Mu Bin said without hesitation: "Of course it is Yang Zhao, the Taifu Qing."

"Who did Yang Zhao become famous?"

"It is because of the Jie Zhi, and it was you who recommended Yang Zhao to Zhang Qiujianqiong that Yang Zhao was able to enter Chang'an and regain the love between brother and sister with the Imperial Concubine."

Xian Yu Zhongtong: "Yes, it's all a peck and drink, all of which have causes and effects. But this time I'm not what I want to be the governor, and Yang Zhao must insist, so I had to reluctantly take office. I walked from Chang'an to Shuzhou for half a year, and it was because I was reluctant to do so that I deliberately slowed down..."

Mu Bin asked in confusion: "What does what Jie Shuai said have to do with Gu Qing's porcelain?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong knocked on a wide-mouthed vase in front of him and said leisurely: "Have you ever wondered why Yang Zhao insisted on letting me be the governor of Jiannan Road?"

"Because it's you who he trusts the most in the court?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled. He did not comment on whether the answer was correct. He just sighed: "This place is Qingcheng County, Shuzhou, and belongs to Jiannan Road. The ancestral home of the Imperial Concubine is also Shuzhou. Her father was once a Sihu of the governor's mansion of Shuzhou. The Imperial Concubine grew up in Shuzhou. If Gu Qing's porcelain was sent to the palace, it happened that the Imperial Concubine knew that a tribute porcelain was released in her hometown. Do you think the Imperial Concubine would be happy?"

Mu Bin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So that's it! No wonder Jie Shuai is so concerned about this porcelain! Even though he heard that the imperial concubine was quite homesick. If there were tribute porcelains from Shuzhou in the palace, the imperial concubine would probably have replaced all the tribute porcelains in the palace with Qingcheng porcelain kilns in his joy. Your Majesty would also pay more attention to Shuzhou and even Jiannan Road..."

Xian Yu Zhongtong said in a plain expression: "Not only that, Your Majesty's favor for the Imperial Concubine is beyond replenishment. I have criticized me for the Imperial Concubine as the governor of the court. If Gu Qing's porcelain can enter the palace, the tribute porcelain will inevitably bring the marks of Jiannandao and I. Then, the road of the palace has been made, and I have to treat the porcelain more generously. Every festival, I send a message to the Imperial Concubine with the affection of fellow villagers and the merits of tribute porcelain. The Imperial Concubine naturally remembers my dedication. In the future, there will be any difficulties in resolving difficulties in Jiannandao. I send someone to hand the news into the palace. The Imperial Concubine will probably help me advise Your Majesty. The position of the Imperial Concubine is firmly positioned as the governor..."

He knocked on the vase again. Listening to the pleasant and crisp echo, Xian Yu Zhongtong's face that could not see joy and anger finally fluctuated a little: "Gu Qing's tribute porcelain is the link between Jiannan Road, I and the Imperial Concubine. It cannot be misleaded and must enter the palace."

Mu Bin was amazed at Xian Yu Zhongtong's cunning plan and felt that he had learned a lot today. Then he said: "Jie Shuai, Gu Qing's porcelain kiln is now sealed, and the county magistrate's attitude towards the porcelain kiln seems to be completely beaten to death. Do you want to help Gu Qing?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong thought about it and shook his head, "Look and watch first, don't interfere easily. After the incident, I saw Gu Qing's expression without any anxiety and anger. Instead, I was calm and calm, and did not ask for help from me. I thought I had an idea. This young man was a character. I wanted to see how he resolved this problem and see how much his ability was. If the young man failed to resolve it in the end, the porcelain kiln would still not be able to be saved. It was not too late for me to take action at that time. I could use the grace of helping the danger to win Gu Qing's heart and use it for me."

"Two birds with one stone, handsome and clever!"

…………

In the evening of the next day, Hao Donglai from Qingcheng County sent a friend to send a message.

Early in the morning, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing visited Huang County Magistrate. The post was sent to the county government for two hours, and there was no movement inside. The two shopkeepers stood at the entrance of the county government government and stayed, until noon, when the county government Magistrate Huang met the two people in the second hall of the county government.

The place where they met the two made the two shopkeepers feel cold.

Although the relationship between the two and the Huang County Magistrate was not very close, at least they were able to live up to their face. Every time they visited the county magistrate, the place where they met were in the inner hall, but this time they met them in the second hall.

Where is the second hall of the county government? It is the place where officials handle cases. Public security cases such as disputes, fights, and those that are not allowed to go to the table will be handled in the second hall.

This time, the two shopkeepers were clearly visiting privately, but County Magistrate Huang arranged them to the second hall, which was to repair their rhythm.

The two shopkeepers twitched the bullet and entered the second hall. Sure enough, County Magistrate Huang had a cold face and scolded them when they met.

Interestingly, the Huang County Magistrate did not mention the matter of the porcelain kiln in Shiqiao Village in half a sentence, as if he had no idea that the two shopkeepers had occupied the market. He scolded Hao Donglai for having a close relationship with the civil servants in the county government, and scolded Shi Daxing’s shops and shops to bully customers. The reasons for scolding them were all kinds of, but in short, they did not mention the porcelain kiln.

The two shopkeepers were merchants. In the Tang Dynasty, the social status of merchants was still inferior. The county magistrate scolded them, but they didn't even dare to repay them. Instead, they had to admit their mistakes in fear, even though they didn't know where they were wrong.

The two of them were originally planning to come to the county government to ask for advice about the seal of the porcelain kiln. After the Huang County Magistrate scolded him, they did not dare to ask any more. So after the Huang County Magistrate was satisfied with the scolding, they both surrendered in shame.

The matter can be said to be no progress. Both of them are old foxes who have been in the shopping mall for many years. After leaving the county government, they carefully scrutinized it and suddenly felt something was wrong. It was impossible for the Magistrate Huang to know that they had occupied a share in the porcelain kiln. Since they never mentioned this matter, they still cursed them with various reasons. It was obvious that they all started because of the porcelain kiln. The Magistrate Huang's scolding clearly revealed a very strong signal that the porcelain kiln was sealed and it is not subject to discussion.

Shiqiao Village.

Gu Qing sat cross-legged in the yard, listened to the message from the client with expressionless face, then smiled and sent the client away, giving him a few cents of errand fees.

I returned to the yard and sat down, feeling the slight pain of late autumn wind blowing on my face, and my mind was extremely clear and calm.
