"What do you know as a woman?" Master Gu frowned unhappily, "Don't worry about the elders' business!"
Mr. Gu was open-minded and generous, and usually Mrs. Gu had room to speak at home. Now he suddenly changed his attitude, which made Mrs. Gu very unhappy: "Master, are you also bewitched by that girl Xia Qianqian?"
"Nonsense!" Mr. Gu stood up angrily, "Go to the shop and see how well Xia porcelain is selling. How much money is it making!"
Mrs. Gu shrank her neck and said in a low voice unwillingly, "Our family is not short of money."
"Anyway, you are not allowed to interfere in Changsheng's affairs! He can do whatever he wants, as long as he is happy!"
At this moment, the doorman came to report: "Master, Miss Xia from Yangliu Village wants to see you!"
"Please invite him in!" Mr. Gu looked at Mrs. Gu sternly, "Don't talk nonsense later."
Mrs. Gu shut up tactfully.
After a while, Xia Qianqian followed the housekeeper in.
This was her second time coming to the Gu family. The last time she came secretly, disguised as Doctor Tong’s apprentice. This time, she finally came openly.
"Mr. Gu, Madam Gu!" Xia Qianqian bowed. Although her clothes were old, they were clean. Her fair face was calm and composed, neither humble nor overbearing.
Master Gu motioned for her to sit down and asked gently, "Is everything going well at the kiln recently?"
"Very good." Xia Qianqian said as she took out two celadon bowls: "These two celadon bowls were recently made by me. Please appreciate them, Mr. Gu and Madam."
The Gu family was wealthy and had no shortage of porcelain, but they rarely had celadon as fine as the one in Xia Qianqian's hand.
Mr. Gu's eyes lit up, and Mrs. Gu was also shocked.
“Did you burn this?”
"Yes. Good porcelain is made of exquisite materials, and I only have a few in total. Lord Li Rong came today and praised my porcelain. I gave him two celadon bowls and asked him to take them back to the county. This way, more dignitaries will see our porcelain, which can be regarded as publicity."
Mrs. Gu was very surprised. She didn't expect Xia Qianqian to be so business-minded.
Xia Qianqian looked around and asked, "Is the Third Young Master not at home?"
Master Gu immediately ordered: "Come here, go and ask the Third Young Master to come over!"
"yes."
Master Gu played with the celadon bowl, his heart filled with surprise and delight: "This craftsmanship is truly amazing! Can it be mass-produced?"
"Yes, but we need raw materials." Xia Qianqian nodded.
"Materials are not a problem. I have already ordered some, and they will be shipped to Yangliu Village in a few days." Mr. Gu looked at Xia Qianqianqian with appreciation.
The ability of this little girl was far beyond his imagination.
"Thank you for your support, Master Gu. As soon as the materials arrive, I will start mass production. Making money is just around the corner. I have also prepared two teacups here, which are intended to be given to the Third Young Master. Please appreciate them first, Master Gu!" Xia Qianqian took out the white porcelain cracked cup.
She thought that Master Gu would think like Li Rong that it was burnt. Unexpectedly, Master Gu was very knowledgeable and immediately called out the name of the porcelain: "Cracked porcelain?"
Xia Qianqian was stunned: "Master Gu, do you know this kind of porcelain?"
"I have seen it in the capital before. But since it is in the capital, there are not many such porcelains." Mr. Gu's expression became solemn, and the atmosphere in the flower hall became depressing.
Xia Qianqian thought she had committed some serious offense and became nervous: "Master Gu, is there any problem?"
