The servants looked at each other and instantly became nervous, looking at their young master for some reason, Layue was also a little confused and watched Lu Gongzi go to the mule cart and lift the blanket to take a closer look, and then took out a small pot-bellied and small flower porcelain vase and walked back to the shed and sat down, the servants seemed to take a breath and drank the tea in front of them silently.

Lu Lixin handed the bottle to Layue and said with a smile, "Young lady, look at it, this is a bottle made of blank tires painted with your family's water, incense and ink mixed with other paints." ”

Layue took this small flower arrangement to see the love of love, the painting is a common Buddhist pattern flower finger, a lotus flower in the rich hand delicate, since it is made for the temple, the pattern is all ink color, and the lines are concise, generous and simple in the natural Zen.

She rubbed the pattern with her hand, "The color of this pattern is more realistic than the ordinary ink porcelain, and the ink color is gathered but not scattered, and there seems to be an iron wire in the line, soft and rigid, it is really beautiful." ”

"Madame really knows the goods, and she can see the intentions of this pattern, which is all the credit of your family's water and ink."

Layue returned the bottle to him, "Childe is modest, and the water fragrance ink just makes the ink color better, but the soft and rigid pattern of this blank is all the credit of the painter." Last time, I heard Lu Gongzi say that your family's newly hired painters want to go back and watch it in person, could it be that this is from them? ”

Lu Lixin nodded a little embarrassed but proudly, and then said, "It's just that this piece in Madame's hand was painted by me personally, and I just made such a fun play in this kiln." ”

Saying that, he handed the small flower plug to the servant behind him and put it back, then turned his head to Layue and said, "The things burned this time are all in the order of the Phoenix Temple, and I don't want to take them out privately and give them away, and when I return to Yecheng, I will send a few vases or something to the high shopkeeper to send them to the store to play, and please don't dislike the things in the Cizhou kiln are not cheap on the table." ”

This Lu Gongzi couldn't find the slightest mistake in his polite words, Layue hurriedly thanked him, and wanted to talk about closing the stall and returning to the temple, but he didn't want to be interrupted by Lu Gongzi again.

He smiled and said, "The porridge is also finished, and the price of a bowl of porridge for a few of us is only the price of a bowl of noodles in Yecheng, and Mrs. can't afford it," he groaned slightly, "Why don't I tell Mrs. a strange legend, it's more interesting than a few pennies." ”

As soon as she heard a story, Layue instantly became interested, and she didn't care about mentioning it back, her eyes lit up, and the whole person was full of energy, and she hurriedly ordered Mama Chang to take out her own storybook, and spread out the pen and ink on the table and looked at Lu Gongzi with an expectant face, "Childe, please speak slowly, Layue's writing and ink are too coarse, and it takes time to sort it out." ”

"In this way," Lu Lixin hesitated for a moment but still said, "Lixin has also studied for a few days before and knows a few words, otherwise I will ghostwrite, while telling my wife, I can write at the same time, I think it can be a little faster." ”

This is reasonable, Layue hurriedly pushed the pen and ink over, and inadvertently swept his dumb servants to look at each other again, and their eyes always glanced at the cart of porcelain.

Is it because you are afraid of delaying the delivery? It seems a little inappropriate to prevent Lu Gongzi from writing the story like this, "Lu Gongzi, if you are so busy today, it is better to have a chance to write it another day, if you miss the agreed delivery time, it will not be good." ”

"It's okay," Lu Lixin ordered the people behind him without raising his head, "If you are idle and bored, there is quite a lot of scenery in this Taihang Mountain, and if you want to come to enjoy it in the rain, you can go shopping, and you will be on call here after an hour." ”

He spoke tepidly, obviously in a very gentle voice, but it made Layue think of Shi Yunqing somehow all of a sudden, and there was a feeling of daunting.

Those servants listened to his words and went out without an umbrella, Layue naturally knew the truth that more things are better than less, and things that had nothing to do with her, no matter how strange and wrong they were, she would not allow her curiosity to grow.

The rain outside the shed is still dripping and dripping, the place where the mule cart stops is just growing a tuft of grass, the mule chews the grass quietly, Chang Mama took out two plates of snacks from the small room and made some tea to serve, and then went to the side to make cotton knee pads for Layue.

Lu Gongzi thought for a while, picked up the pen and began to write the story, and even divided his heart to tell the little story he wrote for Layue.

"This story happened in Yecheng, saying that there is a wealthy family in Yecheng, Zhang's family," he said here and smiled apologetically, and quickly explained, "It's not your family's Zhang, it's the chapter that Lizao." ”

"The surname Zhang is a big surname, and if there are more, it doesn't hurt even if the bow is long Zhang, I don't love it so much." Layue smiled and poured tea for him, and listened to him continue.

Lu Gongzi thanked the tea and said, "The lady married by the master of this Zhang family is an extremely mysterious woman, and the whole Yecheng doesn't know where she comes from, and even the maids and servants who serve around her don't know where the lady's maiden family is. But the accent is indeed the accent on both sides of the Zhanghe River, not only does Mrs. never allow others to ask about her maiden family, but even Master Zhang is also secretive about his wife's family. ”

This is also too strange, Layue couldn't help but be curious, "A maiden family is also so taboo, or a girl with a local accent and can't find out which family, could it be that Mrs. Zhang is a monster?" Is it the same as the legend of the White Snake sung in that play?"

Amused by her childish and cute words, Lu Gongzi shook his head and chuckled, "The young lady said that it was funny, the ghosts and monsters in this world since ancient times have only been passed on by the listener, who has seen it with their own eyes?" It's just something that fools people, how can the young lady believe this? ”

Layue suddenly thought of her rebirth, if there were really no ghosts and gods in this world, how could she be reborn? If you want to say that it is a dream, that dream is too real, in the broken grass house in the dream, your own child, the blood in the snow......

But who can believe this? Thinking about it, Lu Gongzi has a saying that is very right: I have only heard about ghosts and monsters, who has seen it with his own eyes? That's because people who have seen it know that no one will believe it when they say it, and it's just that the world will laugh at it.

"You're right, it's my woman's opinion." Layue replied absentmindedly. Lu Gongzi frowned slightly, but immediately returned to his original state, and then said, "In fact, there are legends everywhere in Yecheng, saying that this Mrs. Zhang is a thousand-year-old fox under the tomb of King Lanling in Cizhou City, and she has become a spirit, and she has confused Zhang Gongzi and become a relative to him, and she has come to suck him Yuanyang." ”
