Mr. Zheng smacked his lips, "Master Gu, you should learn to talk about business now, I want to ask Master Gu if he would like to accompany me to Liu County?"

"To Liu County?" Gu Beizhi showed interest in a timely manner.

Seeing this, Mr. Zheng explained the reason, "Hey, that's the case. My old man lives in Liu County, and recently received a piece of porcelain from Ma Yueteng. I want to ask you to check the authenticity."

He concealed the antecedents of his words, and only said that he wanted Gu Beizhi to accompany him for a trip, and in addition to the normal appraisal fee, he would also give him a sum of money for hard work.

Gu Beizhi hesitated for a while, "How many days are we going?"

Liu County is not too close to Huolu Town, it takes about a day on the road, but Mr. Zheng even raised the hard work expenses, probably more than once.

Mr. Zheng estimated the time, "About three to five days."

"Here, Mr. Zheng, can you let me go back and discuss with my family?" Gu Beizhi saw shopkeeper Du nodding, knowing that the store agreed to his business trip, but he had to go home and talk to Xiaozhou, and he couldn't immediately agree to Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng frowned, "It's not that both parents died in your family... Sorry, but I'm a little urgent. I'll come to you tomorrow morning. If I can, I'll leave immediately. If I can't..."

He needs a young man to go with him, who can be his friend when the time comes, but appraisers as young as Gu Beizhi are really rare.

"If not, please ask Mr. Zheng to hire someone else." Gu Beizhi didn't accommodate him because he was a regular customer. He needed to discuss it with Guan Zhou. Now they are a family and Guan Zhou has the right to know what decisions they make.

Mr. Zheng pinched the bridge of his nose, "All right, I'll come back tomorrow, you should discuss it with your husband, don't worry, the money will not be short."

After paying for the paperweight, Mr. Zheng obviously left unhappy.

Shopkeeper Du missed him a few words, but thought that he would always mention Fulang and the child, so he didn't say anything.

Gu Beizhi's family was originally sparsely populated, and he was the only child of their family. After his parents passed away, only his husband and children were left as his relatives, so it's normal to pay more attention to them.

Shopkeeper Du didn't mention it at all, but asked about the man who entered his appraisal room. In the past, when Guan Yang came, it was lunch time at noon, and it was the first time Shopkeeper Du saw Guan Yang.

"That's your brother-in-law?" Shopkeeper Du pointed to the back.

"Yes, it's the child of my husband's second uncle's family. He has a very good relationship with my husband. He treats him like a younger brother." Gu Beizhi explained that there are strangers coming to the store, so he really has to tell the shopkeeper. .

"Is this the one who studies?" Shopkeeper Du pondered for a while, "It looks pretty big, are you married?"

Gu Beizhi shook his head, "Not yet, this kid has ambition, and plans to take the imperial examination first and then start a family."

"Then how old is he? Looks like he's twenty." Shopkeeper Du became interested.

"Twenty-two, a few months younger than me."

Shopkeeper Du slapped his hands, "Then you have to be in a hurry. Although the young man is not afraid that he won't be able to marry a wife, he has to be in a hurry, otherwise all the good ones will be picked away."

Gu Beizhi didn't know why Guan Yang wasn't engaged yet, but they were not in a hurry to see Uncle Guan, and he felt that he was still a child at the age of 22, so he didn't have this concept in his heart.

"Sure, I'll go back and ask my second uncle." Gu Beizhi agreed.

"Well, go get busy." Shopkeeper Du patted his arm, showing a more intimate look.

Guan Yang obviously didn't know that someone was thinking about his marriage, and he was busy writing questions in Gu Beizhi's appraisal room.

Afraid of damaging Gu Beizhi's things, he put all the benches on the wall on the right side of the door.The messy teacups on Gu Beizhi's table were also put away on the tray, and the table was wiped clean, making it look much neater.

And he himself only occupies a small corner of the table, which will allow him to spread out a paper and write with ease.

Gu Beizhi came in, seeing his cautious posture, felt bad for him.

"A Yang, you can write over there." Gu Beizhi pointed to the more spacious side.

Guan Yang put down his pen, "Brother, the guests are gone? I'll move out the stools first." He moved out the stools placed in the corner one by one, each one being careful not to make any obvious noise, for fear of disturbing to others.

Brother Xiao Ding hurried over to help when he saw it, and took all the stools back into the storage room. There were some tables, chairs and benches inside, specially used to cope with today's situation.

"Brother, how old are you?" Brother Xiao Ding saw that Guan Yang didn't like to bluff, he was quite diligent, and started talking to him familiarly.

"Twenty-two this year." Guan Yang answered honestly.

"That's not too young. I thought you were a few years younger than Old Gu." Xiao Ding thought about Gu Beizhi for a while, and then added, "But Old Gu looks old-fashioned. Zhang handsome face, I think he is 30 years old."

Guan Yang smiled, since he took his cousin home that time, his brother-in-law has indeed changed a lot, and now he is very reliable, "Brother-in-law is reliable."

"It's really reliable."

The two chatted for a while, mostly praising Gu Beizhi. Guan Yang and You Rongyan returned to Gu Beizhi's room with smiles on their faces. His test paper had been placed opposite Gu Beizhi, on the table. Most of the things I put on Gu Beizhi's side.

"Let's be alone on one side, without disturbing each other." Gu Beizhi pointed to his side and told him to sit down.

Guan Yang wanted to say that there was no need to do this, but seeing that Gu Beizhi had already put on his gloves and picked up a piece of exquisite glazed tile to look at it carefully, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he sat down to write the paper safely.

Gu Beizhi glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and continued to do his own thing, looking at the glazed tile in his hand as if looking at some peerless beauty.

When many people mention the word Liuli, their first reaction is the sentence in Encyclopedia: Liuli is also called "Ruli", which is made of artificial crystals of various colors and fired at a high temperature of more than 1000 degrees.

Its color is flowing and colorful; its quality is crystal clear and dazzling.

Thinking about it this way, glazed tiles are probably tiles made of artificial crystals?

In fact, it is not. Generally speaking, glazed tiles are made of high-quality ore raw materials, which are screened and crushed, high-pressure formed, and fired at high temperature.

It has significant advantages such as high strength, good flatness, low water absorption, flexural resistance, frost resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, and never fading.

Glazed tiles have always been synonymous with magnificence. Because of their solid materials, bright colors, and smooth glaze, they are the proud sons of architectural ceramic materials that will last forever.

The piece in Gu Beizhi's hand is a piece of glazed tiles burned with Buddhist words. The font on the tile is raised, the whole is bright brown and yellow, and the characters are white.

Gu Beizhi, who used the Appraisal Eye skill, knew that it was a tile from a famous family temple in a certain place in the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't know how it fell out.

Speaking of colored glaze, Gu Beizhi recalled the nine-story glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple restored by later generations. He had visited it before, and it was really hard to imagine that it was built by the ancients without the help of machines.

Of course, there is only one glazed pagoda arch component in the antique, and the entire pagoda was restored exactly according to the records.

Clean the glazed tile, put it on a wooden pallet and fix it. Gu Beizhi set a price for it. Although this tile is very bright in color and well preserved, Zhao Guo has relatively weak religious beliefs and cannot Sell ​​on the price.

Especially since it was removed from other people's temples, many people are still quite taboo about it.The so-called family temple is an ancestral hall, a place where future generations worship their ancestors.

Zhao people still respect their ancestors very much, and they would not collect a tile that was removed from someone else’s temple just for liking. If the reason for this glazed tile is clearly written, it is likely to be left unused in the warehouse for many years.

Gu Beizhi felt that it was a pity, so he could only put it aside and wait for it to be put into the warehouse, and then continued to take out the next one from the box on the left near the wall...

Guan Yang finished writing the test paper and left. Gu Beizhi had to go to Liu's house after work. First, he had to teach, and second, he had to ask for leave first, and let him know that he might be on a business trip for five days.

Master Liu generously agreed. Anyway, as long as he knew where Gu Beizhi was going, he didn't have to keep looking at him, especially if he was going to Liu County.

After thanking Mr. Liu, Gu Beizhi hurried home again under the moonlight, and met Guan Zhou at the stone mill at the entrance of the village. Gu Beizhi took the lamp in his hand and held Guan Zhou's hand.

"Xiao Zhou, Mr. Zheng came to see me today and wanted me to go to Liu County to appraise a piece of porcelain. It would take about five days. I haven't decided whether to go or not. What do you think?"

Gu Beizhi told him about the reward Mr. Zheng told him and the time he needed to go out.Although Gu Beizhi also received a salary of more than ten taels a month, but he could get 20 taels in five days, Guan Zhou still exclaimed.

Guan Zhou counted with his fingers, they still have some money in their hands, plus the 20 taels, "Wow, after this calculation, it is enough to buy another five acres of land, Beizhi, you go, I have me at home !"

"Okay, but I think we'd better fix up the house first and wait for the land purchase. Don't worry." Seeing that he had no objection, Gu Beizhi decided to go to Liu County this time.

20 taels of silver is indeed not a small number. With this amount of money, the courtyard wall of the family can be repaired again, the house can also be repaired again, the clean room must be built, and the yard must be reset, and it must be done in time for winter. Before, fix the house and have a warm winter.

But if Guan Zhou is allowed to live at home with his two children, he is not at ease. Everyone knows that he has made money in the town. Even if Guan Zhou doesn't say anything, he knows that there are many people who are jealous.

Usually he goes home every day, but if he is not at home for five consecutive days...he is afraid that someone will take the risk, then Guan Zhou and the children will be too dangerous.

It's not that Gu Beizhi thinks viciously, but the house in Wangjia Village is really well built, which makes him feel uneasy.

Although they are all brick and tile houses, the walls of the courtyard are very short, less than two meters in length. Not to mention adults, even children can use tools to climb over the walls.

"Xiao Zhou, I'd better not go. I'm worried that after five days, you and the children will be left at home." Gu Beizhi thought over and over again, comparing money with the safety of Lord Guan Zhou and the three, the latter is more important. Important, he can't take risks.
