The night is like water, the sky is full of stars, dazzling.

Bai Susu got off the carriage and walked into the Bai Mansion gate. She wore a white long dress and looked like a quiet blooming cereal under the night.

Today, I finished the accounts in Bairun Building. With Arabic numerals and statistics tables, it became much more convenient to check the accounts this time. I even easily found out that some shopkeepers misappropriated public funds and made false accounts, and she was strongly aware of her.

Dispose of it.

When I returned to Bai Mansion, it was almost late at night. Although I was a little tired all over, I felt less empty and lonely than before.

It’s like a figure walking into my heart, gradually becoming solid from blurred.

Faced with this situation, Bai Susu neither deliberately erased nor actively catered to it. She just wanted to let it go and let it develop, because that person gave her a strong curiosity and a sense of indescribable feeling.

When Bai Susu walked back to her courtyard absent-mindedly, she found an old servant in her delicate courtyard, drinking tea and enjoying the moonlight.

"Grandpa, it's so late, haven't you been sleeping yet?"

Bai Fengxian turned his head and looked at Bai Susu. Originally, she was young and beautiful, and should enjoy the leisure and happiness of the girl before she left home, but now the family's heavy responsibility is on her shoulders. She is busy from morning to night, and in the middle of the night, she is full.

When I returned home exhausted, I still felt a little sad and deeply helpless.

Bai Fengxian has three sons, the eldest son Bai Shouren, who was originally the candidate to inherit the family business, but an accident ten years ago, broke his legs and could only work in a wheelchair. He only had one daughter, Bai Susu, who belonged to the big house.

The second house is Bai Shouyi's family, and Bai Susu's second uncle. This person has the word "Yi", but he is not righteous at all when doing things, has a bad reputation, has a good reputation, likes to gamble, likes to seek flowers and ask about willows, and is quite disliked by Bai Fengxian. Bai Shouyi has a son, and this year he is ten years old.

At the age of six, he is only one year younger than Bai Susu, but his IQ is ten times worse than her. He is a playboy, much worse than Su Chen before.

Although Bai Shouzhi, the name of the third room, has a mediocre IQ and belongs to a dull honest man, who works hard and has a typical developed limbs and a simple mind. He manages a small shop or a grocery store, and is barely enough, and he is absolutely unable to compete.

The helm of the big family.

Therefore, Bai Fengxian just appointed Bai Shouzhi to run errands to transport goods, such as taking people to see the kiln, transporting porcelain clay, and traveling as the leader when distributing goods to shops in Jinling. These physical tasks are left to him, so that he can train more outside more.

, can increase some mind.

But Bai Fengxian is nearly 70 years old, and his health is getting worse day by day. His family is worried and external troubles make him anxious and anxious to be the successor of the head of the family. Among the younger generation, he can only pull Bai Susu out and train him, intending to let her hold on.

The Bai family has been ten or twenty years, which has made the Bai family stable. In the future, the time is ripe. Then, the position of the head of the family is passed on to qualified male heirs of the direct lineage. This is the mission given to Bai Susu by Mr. Bai.

"Is it so late to come back?" Bai Fengxian asked caringly.

Bai Susu nodded and said, "April is about to enter. Recently, Susu has checked the accounts of the first three months and checked them so that she can understand them."

"No big problem, right?"

Bai Susu shook her head and said, "I found some accounting mistakes, but I can deal with it. Please don't worry, grandpa."

Bai Fengxian was very trusting and relieved about his granddaughter's business ability. He did not ask in detail, but instead changed the topic: "You seem to be very close to that little brat Su Chen recently?"

Bai Susu's expression was slightly moved when she heard Su Chen's name, and her eyes turned from fatigue to more spirit, and she replied: "Well, let's talk about some business cooperation."

"Is this boy named Su reliable when discussing business with him?" Bai Fengxian obviously had some objections to Su Chen. He came to the door twice to persuade him to marry into a marriage, but he was rejected. He put his hot face on his cold butt, which made Bai Fengxian look like a cold butt.

I feel very unhappy.

Su Chen's voice, appearance and smile appeared in Bai Susu's mind, as well as those strange thoughts, novel remarks, etc., a trace of arc spilled out of the corner of her mouth, and she smiled faintly: "It's okay, you can cooperate!"

"Why are you laughing?" Bai Fengxian was talking about Su Chen with a cold face, but found that his granddaughter, who had always been cold, actually laughed.

Bai Susu immediately stretched out her face, shook her head and denied, "Does her granddaughter smile?"

Bai Feng coughed for a moment, quite speechless. When did his granddaughter, who was almost a terrifying business mind, also began to deceive himself and pretend to be stupid.

"What projects are you working on? Why haven't I heard of it yet?"

Bai Susu calmly replied: "Soap soap, several kinds of spirits brewed, and the latest mosquito repellent water..."

After hearing this, Bai Fengxian was not very clear, so he shook his head and said, "These are all auxiliary businesses of the Bai family, and the details are all in between. Grandpa hopes that you can focus on making porcelain. My Bai family was a hundred years ago, a feudal town.

After the Huang Chao Rebellion, he crossed south from the north to Runzhou. His ancestors were the chief craftsman of Xing Kiln in Lincheng, Tang Dynasty, and he was still serving as a supervisor. Later, the north was in constant war and his ancestors went south. This white porcelain manufacturing process,

He knew the most, so he quickly gained a foothold in Runzhou City and developed into a giant porcelain tycoon."

Xing Kiln was first fired in the Northern Dynasties and declined in the Five Dynasties. It was one of the seven famous kilns in the porcelain making industry during the Tang Dynasty and was also the earliest kiln to fire white porcelain in northern my country. It is represented by Xing Kiln white porcelain, which is comparable to Yue Kiln celadon in the southern region. , one green and one white are running side by side, and have won the reputation of "blue in the south, and white in the north".

Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty described this in the "Tea Classic": "Xing porcelain is silver, Yue porcelain is jade, Xing porcelain is snow, Yue porcelain is ice, Xing porcelain is white and brown elixir, Yue porcelain is green and brown elixir."

In fact, the ancient Chinese porcelain made first celadon, and then in the Northern Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties, on the basis of firing celadon, craftsmen continued to select raw materials with low iron content to create primitive white porcelain, and then gradually invented makeup white.

Porcelain, craftsmanship is constantly reforming and innovating, and fine white porcelain appears in the mid-Tang Dynasty, and is tributed to the royal family and sold overseas.

Bai Susu listened carefully. She had heard of the family's rise and the history of the development of white porcelain many times, but Bai Fengxian said it solemnly, but she was still not impatient at all. She heard her grandfather recount the family's porcelain making again.

The importance of

Bai Fengxian continued: "The porcelain firing technology of the Ding family comes from the master craftsman of Yue Kiln, so the celadon of the Ding family is also of top quality; white porcelain has been continuously firing in the past ten years, but the glaze is thicker and cannot be white with us.

Compared with the fine white porcelain of the family, however, they have been digging out several of our key porcelain burning craftsmen in private, and it is not ruled out that they will be threatened and tempted. Once the Ding family also masters the core porcelain burning skills of our Bai family, then

If the blue and white porcelains are owned by the Ding family at the same time, they will run and encircle our Bai family, occupy our business, and finally swallow my Bai family."

"Grandpa, I will pay attention." Bai Susu answered calmly.

When Bai Fengxian saw her, he always looked so calm and unhurried, and he also admired his granddaughter.

"Celadon and white porcelain kilns in various parts of the Song Dynasty in the northern region have also begun to be fired on a large scale, which will affect the external business of our Tang Dynasty porcelain. It would be great if we could create a new product porcelain."

Bai Fengxian sighed lightly, got up and wanted to go back to the room. Before leaving, he said, "When did that boy Su Chen become so smart, he knows medical skills and writes lyrics, which caused a lot of controversy in the city. Tomorrow

Ask him, do you know how to burn porcelain?" After saying that, he stepped out of his granddaughter's courtyard.
