Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Chapter 366 Opening the Kiln

Guo Wen's progress in mathematics is the fastest now. He has finished learning the mixed operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and has begun to get in touch with graphics. What he said today is very simple basic knowledge. He Daoming and Ding Chuan There are already achievements in this aspect, and Guo Wen's explanations are very simple and easy to understand, so the reception is very fast.

"It's late today, so let's stop here first." Guo Wen looked at the sky, and it was time for them to go to bed, so he stopped.

They have their own schedule, and although Chu Zhuang is not around right now, they strictly abide by it.

He Daoming and Ding Chuan couldn't get enough of what they heard, but Guo Wen and the others are children, so it's not easy to talk to them at night by candlelight, and they can only let them go.

"Then don't disturb the rest of the brothers." He Daoming and Ding Chuan sent Guo Wen and the others out of the study room, but they continued to return to the study room instead of returning to the guest room to rest.

"Teacher, the mathematics subject of this master's school is really amazing!" Ding Chuan said excitedly.

Although Guo Wen's professors are all basic knowledge, they can see the big from the small, and they can see that there must be a complete mathematics system behind it.

He Daoming stroked his beard, nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed!"

Now he can't wait to see the classics of the teacher that Chu Zhuang promised to pass on to them!

"The ancestors also have a way of educating people. Although the uncle and others are young, their conversation and thinking are not inferior to adults, and they will become great talents in the future!" Ding Chuan was very emotional when he thought about Guo Wen's appearance when he was teaching.

"To be selected as a student by your master ancestor is naturally extraordinary." He Daoming nodded, not surprised at all.

With a genius like Chu Zhuang, how could the students he personally taught be vulgar?

……

"Yingya, you've been living here for a while, and grandma will arrange for you to come into the mansion in two days' time."

Jiang Xinyan came to Zhuangzi with Chu Zhangyang and told Xia Liu the news.

"Go back, go back to the mansion?" Xia Liu was still completely unprepared, and when she heard the news suddenly, she was filled with panic.

"I can't let you live in this small village all the time."

Jiang Xinyan thought that Xia Liu was worried about her hair, so she took her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, now that you're wearing this wig, no one will notice."

Xia Liu glanced at Chu Zhangyang who was behind Jiang Xinyan, saw him nod his head slightly, then forced a smile and agreed: "Yingya listen to grandma!"

"Don't worry, with grandma here, no one can bully you." Jiang Xinyan comforted Chu Yingya, telling her to go back with her at ease.

"Grandma loves Yingya the most." In order not to make Jiang Xinyan suspicious, Xia Liu could only force herself to deal with her.

Jiang Xinyan didn't sit for long before leaving, but Chu Zhangyang stayed.

"Zhang Yang, this lady hasn't been found yet, what should I do when she comes to the door?" Xia Liu asked worriedly.

Originally thought that the last time Chu Zhangyang went to Kaifu Temple to catch Chu Yingya, who knew that someone would run away, leaving such a big hidden danger.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so scared now.

"Now you are my sister, what's the use of her coming? Does she have any identification?" Chu Zhangyang asked indifferently.

Hearing Chu Zhangyang's answer, Xia Liu felt a little relieved. As long as Chu Zhangyang stood by her side, no one in the entire Dongfeng mansion would be able to see her identity!

"In addition, I have already sent someone to tell my father about this matter. Father is on his way here. At the latest on New Year's Day, father will come to Dongfeng Mansion." Chu Zhangyang continued.

"The master is coming, and the master also knows about it?!" Xia Liu stared at Chu Zhangyang with wide eyes, because she was too frightened, her legs and feet couldn't help but feel a little weak. Fortunately, she was sitting On the stool, you will not fall to the ground in embarrassment.

Chu Zhangyang nodded slightly. It is not a secret that Chu Lianqing and Li Houming sent the Golden Buddha to Dongfeng Mansion together. There was already a commotion when the news of the Golden Buddha came.

The golden Buddha caused such a commotion in Jiqing mansion that the emperor and queen mother were moved by it and ordered them to lead the army to escort the golden Buddha to Dongfeng mansion.

It will not be later than New Year's Day, and Chu Lianqing and the others will arrive at Dongfeng Mansion.

At that time, the matter of Xia Liu and Chu Yingya will never be concealed. Unless Chu Lianqing helps to spread this lie, it will be impossible to spread it.

"If you are obedient and obedient, then you can continue to use this lady's status, but if you are disobedient, then father will never let you go!" Chu Zhangyang looked at Xia Liu coldly and said.

Xia Liu's eyes were full of fear, she looked at Chu Zhangyang and said, "Zhang Yang, I will be very obedient, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Right now Xia Liu has no choice at all, if she is disobedient, the end waiting for her is definitely worse than death!

Especially now that she has just enjoyed the sweetness of being a young lady, how can she be willing to give up the glory and wealth that she has already obtained?

"Well, when it comes to the cause of mother's death, you have to say that Aunt Xue did it." Chu Zhangyang nodded slightly and said.

"But, I've already told my grandma, it's... the master drugged her to death..." Xia Liu pursed her lips and said in a low voice.

It's not that she doesn't want to lie, but that she has already said it, so how can she overturn her previous statement?

"For the sake of my future, grandma won't say anything." Apparently, Chu Zhangyang and Jiang Xinyan had reached a consensus on this matter.

Right now Chu Zhangyang is very embarrassing in front of the eldest prince and Sima Jincheng, so it is absolutely impossible to expose the scandal of his father killing his mother at this time!

"Okay, I see." Xia Liu hesitated slightly, but in the end she couldn't match the greed in her heart, so she nodded and agreed.

"But, Zhang Yang, there is no news from the master. How do you know that the master will recognize this daughter of mine?" Xia Liu asked with her lips tightened. Other things are not important, this is her last. issue concerned.

If Chu Lianqing was unwilling to recognize her as a daughter after coming to Dongfeng Mansion, then whatever she did would be futile.

"Don't worry, father will recognize you!" The corners of Chu Zhangyang's lips rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He knew his father very well. If Chu Lianqing really cared about his daughter, Chu Yingya, he wouldn't have sent someone to chase them down.

Both father and son are the same kind of people. In order to preserve their own future, they would sacrifice one or two relatives.

Moreover, Chu Yingya is already a disfigured and unclean woman, and admitting her back will only discredit the Chu family.

But Xia Liu is different, Xia Liu is well-behaved and obedient, and under their control, she will be a very good tool for marriage in the future.

Comparing the two, Chu Zhangyang knew what Chu Lianqing's choice would be even if he didn't receive a reply from Chu Lianqing right now.

……

Qingshan Village.

The sky was getting brighter, and everyone gathered in front of the cave. Although they hadn't slept all night, there was no trace of fatigue on their faces. Instead, they stared excitedly at the cave, hoping that the porcelain inside would be fired successfully.

Yunmengxi wiped the sweat from Chu Zhuang's forehead with a handkerchief. The temperature in this cave was very high. After staying in it for a whole night, everyone's clothes were basically drenched with sweat.

Chu Zhuang stared at Huoyan closely. Although he looked very relaxed, just sitting all the time, in fact he was the hardest one.

Because he had to stare nervously at Huoyan the whole time and control the temperature, if there was a slight difference, all the porcelain in that cave would probably be ruined!

Chu Zhuang took out his pocket watch to check the time, nodded and said, "Okay, we can start the kiln!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, Yun Zhanfei took the hammer from the side, and said loudly: "I will open the kiln myself!"

Waited all night, just waiting for this moment!

"Boom!"

With a hammer down, the seal of the cave dwelling was smashed open.

"Cough cough!"

A burst of smoke burst out from inside, and everyone took a step back in shock.

Chu Zhuang turned his back and hugged Yunmengxi in his arms, not letting the anger reach him.

When the fire smoke dissipated and the temperature dropped a little, two stout apprentices walked in immediately, and after a while, they came out carrying the porcelain.

There are not many porcelains fired in this kiln, and Chu Zhuang only made fifty of them, with different shapes, sizes and proportions of ingredients.

Such a piece of fire is only pursuing the effect of the experiment, so naturally not all of them are good.

Of the fifty porcelains, only eight are perfect at the moment, and the others are more or less defective, and there are even many cracks that have already occurred and are completely unusable.

But even so, everyone still looked at these porcelains in shock.

"This, is this the jade porcelain you mentioned in Chuzhuang?" Yunhong's fingertips trembled slightly, he reached out and picked up one of the perfect wine bottles, and wiped off the dust on it, revealing the whiteness inside. Flawless bottle.

"Ding!"

Chu Zhuang knocked on the bottle and made a crisp sound. Seeing how Chu Zhuang treated these treasures so roughly, Yunhong couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Be careful, what if it breaks!"

"If it's broken, then fire it again!"

Chu Zhuang shook his head helplessly. This was part of the experiment. If he didn't test it, how would he know what kind of porcelain it was?

"Mengxi, record it."

Chu Zhuang checked all the porcelain, summed up the reasons for the failure of firing, and then recorded the ratio of successful firing of the porcelain separately.

After Chu Zhuang was done, Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong carefully brought the porcelain over.

"Second brother, this is not porcelain, I think it is really jade!"

Yun Zhanfei held the wine bottle and looked at it to the place where the firelight was, the thin jade porcelain was able to faintly see the red firelight coming through from the side of the bottle.

"That's why it's called jade porcelain!" Yunhong replied with a handkerchief to wipe clean the intact porcelain.
