Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 3 Scary Cats

"Meow!" A fat cat swaggered its tail and stomped away.

"People scare people to death, and cats scare people to death." Su Yong jumped off the stone, clapped her hands, feeling amused and annoyed.

After putting away my purse, I walked back from Osmanthus Alley.

Another black shadow slipped past Su Yue's feet, the fluffy feeling startled Su Yue.

"Meow" Fat Mao looked back at her proudly.

Hey, isn't this the cat that scared her just now?Where did it come from again at this time?It has something in its mouth, which looks familiar.

"Miss, it has our purse in its mouth." Hong Banana pointed to the cat's mouth.

It was a purse embroidered with rhododendron flowers, which was embroidered by Su Yue herself. Su Yue quickly recognized it and stomped her feet angrily, "Put it down!"

Fat Mao ignored her and walked forward at a leisurely pace.

Hongjiao hurriedly chased after the cat, and the cat ran fast.

A stone hit the cat's ass impartially, and the cat felt the pain, dropped its purse and ran away.

"Let's see if you dare to take my purse!" Su Yue was very proud, and laughed as she looked at the fleeing cat with her hands on her hips.

After picking up the purse, Su Yue ordered Hongjiao to pick up a medium-sized stone, and pressed the purse heavily under the stone, so the cat couldn't get away with it.

I was scared twice by the same cat. It seems that I didn't read the almanac when I went out today. It is not easy to go out. It is better to go home early.

Back home, Su Yuanshan and Wang Shi were still chatting in the main room.

"The business of the shop is becoming more and more difficult now, and there has been no income for several days." Wang sighed.

Su Yuanshan said, "Since Li Ji started selling blue and white porcelain, no one wants our white porcelain."

Although the blue and white porcelain has a single color, but I usually see too much plain white porcelain, and suddenly there is a blue and white porcelain, and I will feel that the blue and white porcelain is fresh and refined.

"Can we think of a way? We can't just keep guarding the shop every day, and no one comes. If we live on our laurels every day, one day we will be sitting on nothing." Wang's tone was a little anxious, "His father, in the shop Don’t just leave it to Ah Qing. Ah Qing is still young, and she hasn’t figured out how to do business yet, and she needs to practice for a few more years.”

Su Yuanshan nodded, "I heard that the blue and white porcelain was produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, and it was just fired recently. I remember that the pottery kiln in our hometown fired it once before, and the fired porcelain was not blue or purple. Everyone It didn't look good, so I smashed the porcelain. I'll go back tomorrow and find the broken porcelain pieces, and compare them with the blue and white ones to see if they look the same."

Knowing that Su Yuanshan had tried his best, Mrs. Wang didn't say anything more.

Su Yue lay under the wall of the main room and listened to the corner for a while.

Su Yuanshan is not suitable for business. When he goes out to buy and sell, he doesn't like to bargain. When losing money, he never cared about earning more or less. Others praised him as a straightforward person.Su Yuanshan was straightforward, he felt sorry for Mrs. Wang, and he felt so sulky.

Soon the main room was quiet, and Su Yue saw that the conversation between the two was over, so she hurried back to the room.

In his previous life, Li Ji's business was very big, he managed the blue and white porcelain business in Guangzhou, and sold the blue and white porcelain overseas by sea, earning a lot of money.

The Su family started their business by relying on the white porcelain kiln handed down from their ancestors.The Su family's hometown is in Sujia Village, where kaolin is abundant. The formula of white porcelain is said to be a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors. The embryo of the fired white porcelain is fine and white as jade.

The appearance of blue and white porcelain had a huge impact on the Su family, and later developed into a porcelain shop that could not maintain the family's food and clothing. In order to increase income for the family, Su Yuanshan went to Yushan Academy as a teacher.

Xu Shi was frightened by the fat cat, and Su Yue had a nightmare at night.

In the season of sweet-scented osmanthus in August, she learned how to make osmanthus cakes from Mrs. Wang in the kitchen. Fresh osmanthus flowers picked from Osmanthus Lane were mixed into rice paste, honey was added, kneaded into dough, and finally steamed in a pot hour.

Steam came out of the steamer, followed by the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, and the whole yard was filled with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Suddenly there was a sound of fighting, "Ah Qing, run!"

This is Su Yuanshan's voice.

The sound stopped abruptly.

Before Su Yong and Wang Shi could react, through the window of the kitchen, they saw Su Qing holding his stomach with one hand and staggering forward through the window of the kitchen. His hand was full of blood, and suddenly a knife stabbed him. waist.

"Brother!" Before Su Yue could yell out, her mouth was covered by Wang's hand.

Only then did Su Yong realize that there was a thief at home.

"Ah Yue, run away from the small window." Mrs. Wang firmly grabbed Su Yue's arm, and dragged her to the small window in the kitchen.

The small window in the kitchen is used to ventilate and diffuse smoke, and it is not wide open, just enough to accommodate one person.

"Mother, come with me." Su Yue shouted.

She saw Mrs. Wang shook her head firmly, and soon, her whole body was pushed against the small window by a strong force.

The kitchen door was kicked loudly, and three masked men broke in...

Su Yue woke up with tears streaming down her face, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.She witnessed her parents and elder brother fall under the sword of the masked man, and she was not spared in the end.

She couldn't forget that in the end it was Wang who gave up his life to push her through the small window and push her out.

After being reborn, her parents and elder brother are still there, Su Yue thinks she has earned it.

Where did the three masked men come from?Why kill their whole family?

She once thought that the people who killed their family were Japanese pirates, but now that she thought about it carefully, something was wrong. The other party did not rob money, but directly killed them, as if they had premeditated.

Their home is on the busiest Dongchang Street in Guangzhou, and not far from the Guangzhou prefect. If they dare to go to Guangzhou city in broad daylight and kill people under the prefect's eyes, the Japanese pirates are too daring.

It can't be Japanese pirates, Su Yue's intuition told her.

As a human again, she must find out who killed the whole family.

When he woke up the next day, Su Yuanshan went back to Sujia Village.

When he came back, he had a cloth bag on his shoulder and a plum bottle in his hands.

"Come here and give me a hand." Su Yuanshan shouted to Mrs. Wang as soon as he entered the door.

Mrs. Wang was picking vegetables in the courtyard. Seeing this, she hurriedly wiped her hands on her clothes, and came over to help, "Oh, where did you get such a big bottle?"

"I asked someone to buy it, hurry up, help me get it into the study, don't drop it."

The two carefully carried the plum vase into the study.

"How much silver did you buy?"

"20 taels."

"What? You bought such a big bottle for 20 taels of silver?" Mrs. Wang jumped up and said, "Our big bottle is less than a tael of silver. You spent 20 taels of silver, which is enough to buy [-] big bottles. .”

Su Yuanshan kept his head depressed and didn't speak, Wang looked even more angry, and suddenly felt the blood rushing up all over his body, so angry that he went straight out of the study, and sat down on the chair where he picked vegetables just now.

Su Yue heard the sound and came over. It seemed that Mrs. Wang was angry.

"Mother, don't be angry, okay?" Su Yue knelt down and took Wang's hand.

When Wang looked at her daughter's big bright eyes, she was half relieved and sighed.

Knowing that Wang Shi was still sullen, Su Yong leaned her head on Wang Shi's arm and persuaded softly, "Mother, think about it, Dad bought a blue and white porcelain because he wanted to find out what the blue and white porcelain looks like. We spent a lot of money this time." For silver, blue and white flowers can be fired in our white porcelain kiln next time, so this big silver is worth it. Let alone 20 taels, even 200 taels are worth it."

"Only you, a yellow-haired girl, can see it!" Wang Shi hugged Su Yue, and all anger disappeared, "You go to the study and see, and you will know whether your father is worth the money."
