Twilight War

Chapter 98 Color Like the Sky

01

Weier and Tang De were defeated in front of the two girls one after another, and they also obediently fell silent.

Lu Shen and Xin Yi hung up two full boxes of clothes to dry, and the clothes were a little damp along the way, so they had to be ironed before putting them away.

The two maids shuttled around the room with one piece of clothing in their hands, like two light butterflies, the moon-white clouds and mist, the water-colored green cicada wings, the scarlet Ruiwen brocade, the rouge water-colored smoky moon gown ...

After drying a lot of clothes inside and outside the house, Lu Shen lit the copper censer and ironed the clothes with the ironed copper iron.

The afternoon sun shines through the windows, the half-bright sky shines through the silk gauze hanging diagonally, the wind blows the peach blossoms through the rouge water color and moon white.

While Zichen was still leaning on the bed and reading a book, as if all this had nothing to do with him, Wisipel leaned against the door, watching the wind blowing through the layers of skein silk clothes, revealing the thin figure of the young man .The light shines through the smoke and dust floating on the incense burner, and the clouds and mist curl up on the fluttering sleeves.

The young man was still dressed in plain white clothes, among those brocade clothes, it looked like a clean blank space.

Tang De bumped into Wisipel lightly, "Why, I'm afraid that Huangxuanjin won't be able to run away, I can't see enough for so long." There was a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wisper shook his head and said nothing.

"Still, the more you look at it, the more beautiful you feel. I can't get enough of it." Tang De continued to smile and said, watching the two girls shuttle in the robes that floated in the wind.

Tang Deben didn't point to Wisipell to answer, but suddenly heard the person next to him humming gently for a lifetime. Tang De turned his head, but Wisipell was still looking at the quiet boy who was reading through the layered gauze .

Tang De shook his head, thinking to himself, it is really impossible to survive without being crazy.

Over there, Xin Yi was just starting to take the porcelain out of the box and carefully wiped it.The three of Vichypel and the others didn't have any research on porcelain, so they just watched the fun.

Lu Shen washed out a set of tea sets and put them on the table. Weier picked them up and said, "Hey, why is your porcelain broken like this? Did it hit you on the way here?"

Xin Yi took a look: "Put it down! That's an ice crack."

"No, this one of yours is really about to break, it's all cracked, can it be used?" Weier squeezed the cup in his hand.

"Put it down quickly! If you break it, I can't spare you!"

"Isn't it just a cup?" Weier put the cup on the table without paying attention, but the cup suddenly cracked as soon as it was put on it, and then instantly turned into pieces.Weier quickly spread his hands, "It has nothing to do with me."

Xin Yi just watched in a daze as their Master Jin's usual cup shattered in front of him.After being stunned for a few seconds, tears began to flow outside, and then he threw himself directly to Zichen's bedside: "Master, let's go! It's better to go somewhere than to be bullied here."

"I... I didn't do anything, I just squeezed it." Weier looked at Xin Yi who was crying so hard that he couldn't speak.

Weier turned to look at Zichen, but Zichen still just looked down at the book and looked at Wisipel, who was also looking at Zichen.

Weir was really angry, so he had to say: "No, isn't it just a cup? At worst, I'll pay for it! I'll pay for what it's worth."

"The things in Huangxuan's house can't be bought with money." Xin Yi got up and glared at Weier angrily.

"Okay, okay, I'll get you one tomorrow. Isn't it just a broken glass?"

"This is the ice crack of Geyao Longquan celadon, made by the imperial court, and only our young master can use it except for the royal family."

"It's just a cup."

"However, what do you call it not. Our young master originally used a small azure-glazed cup from a pinchai kiln. It is as bright as the sky, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and has a sound like a chime. It was rewarded by the Tai|Zu|Grandfather to the founding father of the country. Yes, it is counted among the imperial products. No one even knows the site of the chai kiln now, and a tile is worth a thousand gold." Xin Yi snorted with a little disdain.

"Yes, the things your young master uses are all expensive, what about that little lamp? Why don't you use it, Si Tianming hid it himself." Tang De said with a smile on the side.

Xin Yi suddenly stopped talking, and it took a long time to spit out two words, "I lost it."

"It's so precious, why did you lose it?" Weier seemed to be interested in that little lamp all of a sudden.

Xin Yi didn't speak, his lips turned pale.Lu Shen, who had been standing by the side all the time, supported Xin Yi's body that seemed to be unable to stand without leaving any traces, bowed slightly, and said with a little respect: "If you lose it, you lose it. It's no use asking more questions, my lord."

Zichen seemed to have heard something, put the book on his lap, looked up here, tilted his head through the gauze and silk shirt fluttering in the wind, "...lost it?" asked again.

Xin Yi lowered his head, not daring to look at Zichen, but hummed softly.

"If you lose it, just lose it, it's not a big deal." Zichen continued to read with his head down.

The death of the day, the defeat of Huangxuan.

In such a chaotic war, it is not easy to keep these things, and how can everything be preserved.

Weier didn't think about the twists and turns, and didn't quite understand what these people said about throwing it away, so he waved his hand a little annoyed, "Okay, isn't it just a teacup? I'll give it to you another day." Why don't you bring one?"

"Is there anything else missing?" Vichypel asked suddenly.

"There are too many things missing." Xin Yi has never had a good impression of Vehipel.

"Then just tell Weier what is missing, and let him bring it along with me, and all the expenses will be counted by me." Wihipel said with his head slightly lowered.

Xin Yi swept Wisipel up and down, and finally nodded, "Okay." She didn't know Wisipel's identity, but she instinctively didn't dare to disobey this man, just like a cunning rabbit in a majestic and intimidating In front of the male lion, she knew that the male lion would not eat her, but she still felt chilled.

Huangxuan Jin's gold is made of gold, pearls and jade, and he has the style of a young master who was born in the wealthy Huangxuan family in the south of the Yangtze River.But that man is different, his nobility is innate, he doesn't need white jade, he doesn't need gold, like a born white emperor, he should look down on everything.

Those eyes looked faintly like gods, looking down at the common people. Xin Yi had seen those witches dancing sacrificially before, clinging to egret feathers, with complicated patterns painted on their faces, those people's eyes were like that, neither sad nor happy.But the man's eyes were even colder. No matter how isolated those witches were from the world, they were still mortals, but the man's eyes were as cold as if they had never been stained with dust.

If there was any difference, it would only be when that man looked at their Young Master Jin.When he just arrived here, their young master had already fallen asleep, and the man just leaned against the door, quietly looking at the boy on the bed. Although the man still had no expression on his face, Xin Yi knew that those eyes were no longer like a god's. , God will not take such a long time to look at a person.

But Xin Yi still couldn't understand the man's eyes, those eyes seemed to carry a long and distant...sorrow.

"Why!" Weier immediately retorted when he heard it, "It's enough for me to send these boxes over!"

"What's missing, let Tang De write it down." Vihipel ignored Weier and said directly to Lu Shen.

Lu Shen nodded, "There is still a plum vase missing, Master Jin likes to put some peach blossoms in the house."

"En." Vehipel nodded.

"I also need two jade pots and spring bottles, the color should be plain." Xin Yi added.

"Come with an anchovy bottle, or else it's too empty."

"There is also a set of paper, pen, inkstone, and ink. The second son of the Si family brought the original "Luo Shen Fu" by Taoist Songxue. My young master can practice here."

"No? Your young master is actually able to concentrate on practicing calligraphy?" Weier couldn't help laughing, after all, Zichen's appearance doesn't look like a sloppy gentleman.

"Of course our young master can. Our young master is very good at writing cursive script." Xin Yi snorted, "Our young master's style of writing is elegant, and he has the spirit of Taoist Songxue. Princess Yingluo said before that she wanted to borrow the original work of Taoist Songxue to go back and read it, but it turned out Ah, the gentleman who came from the palace took our young master's study sticker by mistake in the study."

"That princess did it on purpose," Will said.

"Xin Yi." Zichen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly called out to Xin Yi, "Is there anything else missing?"

"I still need two taels of Lu Lixiang, Master Jin has always liked it." Lu Shen said.

The two maids talked back and forth a lot, plus Weier's rebuttals from time to time, it was already evening after finishing the list.Weier didn't want to stay here any longer, who knew what kind of work he would be given if he stayed any longer, just buying these things would keep him busy for a while.So after making the list, he hurriedly dragged Tang De away, leaving Wisipel to hide in the golden house alone.

After the two left, Wisipel sat directly beside Zichen's bed, reading a book with Zichen.What Zichen was reading was "The Peony Pavilion". According to Li Chen's identity, he would not be allowed to read this kind of book. In the past, Si Tianming basically brought it over secretly, and usually mixed it with the basic scriptures, and there was no such book. People move.

Before Zichen left last time, he saw half of it, and casually tore a petal of peony in the vase and put it in the book, waiting for the next time he came back from Chen Temple to read it.As a result, the next time I read this book, it was already two years later...

The peony has long since dried up, leaving a reddish mark between the pages of the book, like a trace of rouge.

——Turning back is an illusion, and you know who is on the other side.

Wischpel has never been a talkative person, or most of the time he doesn't know what to say.In the past, Zichen would take the initiative to say something, but he just needs to listen quietly.It's just that since Zichen got sick, he seldom speaks, and more often he is alone in a daze.

When two people are together, there is more silence like this, but Wihipel feels that this is already very good, he can see this boy every time he comes back, he can hug his boy quietly, even if Saying nothing is fine too.Such a nearly stable time is already very good.

Zichen leaned against Wisipel's arms and turned the pages of the book quietly, his pale fingertips slid across the edges of the thin pages.

Suddenly, a trace of blood oozed from Zichen's fingertips.

Wisper frowned, "What's going on?"

"It should have been scratched by the pages of the book. The paper made of Vitex is indeed sharper." Zichen looked at his fingers and shook them nonchalantly.

There is some medicine prepared here. Wisipel took out the medicine and the gauze, knelt down by the bed, wrapped the long white gauze around Zichen's fingers carefully, and Zichen sat on the bed with the other hand. Flipping through the book, half-length eyelashes droop to cover a small shadow.

After knotting the gauze, Wisipel cut off the excess gauze with scissors, then raised Zichen's wrist and looked at it carefully before putting down Zichen's hand.

Zichen looked at the bow on his finger, and his eyebrows twitched.

When going to bed at night, Zichen put his bow-tied hands on the pillow to prevent the gauze from being ripped apart.

The cool moonlight shines through the lattice windows, and the peach blossoms flying by at night cast shadows on the lattice windows.Zichen was suddenly hugged by Wisipel from behind, and the warm body temperature came from behind. Wissipel looked a little thin, but his muscles were very well-proportioned, so he felt a very stable sense of security.

"Little phoenix bird..." After a long time, Vehipel suddenly called softly, "Let's go on like this... okay?"

"I'll be nice to you..."

There was a faint begging in Vehipel's voice.The wrist around Zichen's waist slowly tightened, like an insecure child subconsciously hugging the little bear in his arms.

All along, in the eyes of everyone, Vehipel is that powerful existence like a god, as if he should be invulnerable, he should be omnipotent and stand upright.But that night, Vichypel begged the boy to stay by his side in an almost gentle and sad tone...

——I don’t know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live.

02

In less than three days, Weier prepared the items listed by Xin Yi and Lu Shen, chose an afternoon to deliver the items, and packed four boxes.Tang De said he was going to see Peach Blossom, so he went with him.

When Vehipel, Tang De, and Weier arrived, Zichen was helping Xin Yi and Lu Shen pound peach petals to make rouge, and a lot of peach blossoms fell in the room, like a dense flower mist.

As soon as the boxes were lifted off, Weier opened the four boxes one by one, then sat on a chair casually, waiting for Xin Yi and Lu Shen to inspect the goods.

Xin Yi and Lu Shen put down the rouge dishes, came over to take a look, and just took out a few to look at, Xin Yi's chest suddenly began to rise and fall, and then suddenly threw a plum vase in front of him, and the porcelain splattered.

Wichpel and Tang De were stunned for a moment, and Weir was even more stunned.Zichen put the book down and took a look here, then looked at the tiles on the ground, and continued reading.

"You are our young master..." Xin Yi stared at Weier fiercely, "I didn't expect you to be such a frivolous person."

Weier looked at Xin Yi in astonishment, completely unaware of how the pot was placed on him.

"If you don't want to pay for that small ice-cracked cup, you don't need to pay. Our Huangxuan family is not short of such things." Xin Yi said, "But the Huangxuan family has lost it and it's not your turn to humiliate you."

Weier didn't know why he had the reputation of humiliating the Huangxuan family.

Tang De picked up the debris on the ground and looked at it, then patted Will on the shoulder.

On the fragments are naked little angels flying around, and under the little angels there is a woman with her back exposed.Naturally, it was impossible for Weir to choose the porcelain one by one by himself. After breaking the small cup, he went directly to a porcelain shop in Asgard the next day, gave the list to the boss, and asked the boss to pack the porcelain by himself. None of them.But the boss saw that Weier was from the Westland, so what he gave Weier was the Xihui porcelain that was popular on the West Road.

Since Daytime's War, Donghuang was forced to do business with Westland. Naturally, a large number of people ran from Donghuang to Westland to do business, and many of them sold porcelain.Moreover, in order to cater to the Westlanders, a large number of porcelains painted with biblical stories appeared, and it was this batch that Weier bought unfortunately.

Weier looked at the fragments on the ground, scratched his head, frowned for a long time, knowing that he was wrong, but he couldn't hold back an apology, and finally Tang De smiled and said: "I hope you don't mind, these porcelain It's not General Weir's original intention, let's take these porcelains back first, and we will definitely give them to the girl after two days."

"I hope so." Xin Yi snorted lightly.

"Then, thank you, my lord." Lu Shen gave a slight salute, with a smile on his lips.

This time, Tang De accompanied Weier to choose. They all looked like high-quality porcelain, all of which were worth a lot of money. After checking each one, he made sure that there were no flying little angels that made Xin Yi drop the plate again.

When passing by, Weier still directly opened the box and sat on the chair. He didn't learn the lesson from last time at all. After all, Tang De chose it along with him.

Xin Yi picked up a plum bottle and looked at it, then handed it to Lu Shen, "Take it and smash it."

Lu Shen nodded.

When Weier heard it, he quickly stood up from his chair, "What? Why did it get smashed again!"

"This plum vase is obviously forged Ru kiln porcelain from ordinary folk kilns. If anyone sends this kind of porcelain to Huangxuan's house in the past, he will lose his head." Xin Yi said.

"How do you know it's a forgery!" Weier was in a hurry as he saw that the porcelain he had finally picked was about to be smashed.

"Of course I know, the blue and white are not flat, not to mention even the enamel is uneven."

"Then...then you can't smash it!" Weier pointed at the porcelain in Lushen's hand.

"There is no reason to send the porcelain sent to Huangxuan's house."

What Xin Yi said is true, imperial porcelain should not flow into the folk.

Firing porcelain is a one-of-a-kind job, and often a piece of first-class porcelain has a large number of defective products, and these defective products must be destroyed on the spot.There is a mountain of broken porcelain at the mouth of each major kiln, which is full of defective products that have been destroyed. Many people say that even if you pick up a piece of debris in it, you can exchange it for three taels of gold.

And those first-class porcelains sent to the palace or Huangxuan's family had to go through a review, and those that failed must be destroyed.However, there was no smashing on the spot like Xin Yi, they were all sent to the warehouse for destruction.

White porcelain splash.

Hearing the sound of broken porcelain, Will's heart trembled suddenly.However, Xin Yi and Lu Shen were still examining the batch of porcelain carefully.

"threw."

"Wait! Is this a counterfeit too?" Weier hurriedly stopped him.

"No, it's an official kiln product."

"Then why did you smash it!"

"Our young master doesn't like fighting colors, and finds it noisy. I've already told you to choose plain ones." Xin Yi snorted, "Our young master prefers monochrome glazes, and among them, azure glaze is his favorite. What he wants is to pass the rain. The elegance of Tianqingyun's broken place. Sweet white glaze and underglaze red are next, and sacrificial red, cowpea red, and plum green are good for small decorations."

The bottle of fighting color fish Wenzao Passiflora in Lu Shen's hand turned into pieces...

The general who had not blinked his eyes several times on the battlefield finally turned his head away.

"I don't want this enamel one either."

Xin Yi threw out another amphora of cloisonné enamel plum vase with colorful fish and dragon patterns.

"This blue and white bottle with five chrysanthemum and crab claw patterns is not well painted, and the color is not correct. The blue and white painting of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is also thrown away. The young master doesn't like this kind of picture, no matter how good the painter is."

"I don't want that pierced ear bottle either."

Then the two of them seemed to be working together to turn the box into pieces, they took out one by one and threw one at a time, each time Will's heart trembled, even Tang De couldn't bear to see it.

"This... a small bowl of Longquan kiln's sky blue glaze..." Xin Yi picked up another small bowl and looked at it carefully.

"Small, smash, smash! All smash! I know, all smash!" Weier said with blank eyes, as if he had already seen through the world.

"This one, you can keep it." Xin Yi looked at Xiaowan and said.

After throwing countless bottles, Xin Yi finally mercifully left behind a small bowl.The enamel of that small bowl is as bright as jade, and the carcass is so thin that it can even see through the shimmering sunlight, and the light blue color is like the sky that has been wiped away.

Lu Shen took it over and looked carefully, and finally saw a small poem at the bottom of the bowl, "There is an inscription written by Emperor Kaiyang, which should have been given to his favorite ministers by Emperor Kaiyang and then passed on to the people."

Emperor Kaiyang was the emperor in the prosperous age of Dachen. His greatest hobby was to appreciate ancient inscriptions. He wrote countless inscriptions on porcelain, calligraphy and paintings throughout his life. His second hobby was to give the things he had inscribed to his favorite ministers.Those who can get the inscription of Emperor Kaiyang can't wait to offer it up to show the blessings bestowed by the emperor.

"Hey, it seems that I finally bumped into a good thing, the emperor used it!" Weier stood up from the chair when he heard it. After all, the porcelain he picked before was smashed, which made him start to doubt his life. This time, he finally found an imperial object, which at least proved that he was a little lucky.

Weier felt that he was not as excited as he is now even when he was fighting ten times on the battlefield.

However, in order not to make himself happy too early, Weier still asked very cautiously: "This, it must be fake."

"Fake?" Xin Yi picked up the small bowl and looked at it seriously, "It's not fake, no fake antique can fool my eyes."

Weier breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that he saw angels waving their little wings all over the sky.

"Throw it away." Zichen, who had been just reading a book on the bed, said suddenly.

"Master?" Lu Shen looked at Zichen a little strangely, "Don't you like azure glaze the most? You have to throw it away anyway."

"I don't like Emperor Kaiyang." The young man said casually while turning the pages of the book.

The azure pieces are like broken jade in the sun, and the peach blossoms falling on the broken porcelain pieces are like funeral money.

In the end... Weier's only piece of porcelain that could catch Xin Yi's eyes also fell into pieces.
