"Right," Xiao Weijiang's eyebrows jumped up: "Xingyu, you hit the nail on the head, you said what I meant!"
Xiao Xingyu curled his lips at Xiao Weijiang and brought the topic back to the topic: "These are not the main points now. The main point is that you encountered Tanaka Ryuichi and Jiang Dazhuang beating you, and Xiao Huai resolutely refused to tell the police that he had seen you. What does it have to do with it?"
Xiao Weijiang lowered his head and took a long breath. "In order to attract that Tanaka Ryuichi, I told him that I could make celadon porcelain and was planning to set up a gambling game... a gambling game on the kiln. I asked him if he was interested in participating."
With a "bang", Xiao Weijiang just finished his weak words when Xiao Weiyu rushed up and kicked him with his foot, causing Xiao Weijiang to fall heavily to the ground on his buttocks!
"You scum! How dare you bring up such a filthy thing as gambling in a kiln again!" Xiao Weiyu was so angry that he looked for something to deal with Xiao Weijiang. "Haven't you learned the lesson from seventeen years ago?! Have you forgotten how you were kicked out of the Xiao family?! You're still gambling! If I had known you were like this, I should have enforced the family rules and punished you..."
Zhang Moyan frowned and asked Xiao Xingyu in a low voice, "What is a gambling kiln?"
Xiao Xingyu glanced at the scolding over there, put his hand close to Zhang Moyan's ear and said, "The buyer bought all the porcelain in the kiln before the kiln was opened. Whether it can produce azure glaze depends on luck."
Biting her ear at this distance not only looked intimate, but also the warm breath all hit her sensitive ear. Zhang Moyan couldn't help but nod and move away quickly.
This kiln gambling sounds similar to jade gambling, except that the difference between jade gambling and kiln gambling is whether there will be jadeite inside the raw stone after it is cut, while the difference between kiln gambling and kiln gambling is whether there will be celadon porcelain after the kiln is opened. In fact, the buyer is gambling, and the seller is guaranteed to make a profit.
Zhang Moyan looked at Xiao Weijiang, who was sitting on the ground, not daring to breathe, after being scolded by Xiao Weiyu, and stammered, "Could it be that Uncle Weijiang also produced celadon porcelain?"
Xiao Xingyu turned his head to face Zhang Moyan and closed his eyes.
Zhang Moyan looked at Xiao Weijiang again in disbelief. She had never expected that the seemingly most useless member of the previous generation of the Xiao family could rival the master Xiao Guotao and produce celadon porcelain! Meanwhile, Xiao Weizhou, who was single-minded in his pursuit of enlightenment, and the exceptionally gifted Xiao Xingyu, hadn't managed to produce a single piece of celadon porcelain despite their efforts.
It's really sad that fools have good luck. Luck is not something you can get just by being hardworking.
Now, Zhang Moyan summarized and refined the existing information from a reporter's perspective. She could almost guess why Xiao Weijiang was kicked out of the Xiao family seventeen years ago, and what made Xiao Guotao issue a death order to all members of the Xiao family to draw a clear line with him.
Xiao Weiwu must have discovered a money-making opportunity after firing the celadon-glazed porcelain and started gambling on kilns.
The Book of Changes from the pre-Qin period said: "If virtue does not match the position, there will be disaster." Just think about it, the task of grinding and firing celadon porcelain, which the Xiao family regarded as the supreme mission for hundreds of years, was actually used by Xiao Weijiang as a bet and a business. No wonder Xiao Guotao was so cruel, and no wonder Xiao Huai, his biological son, broke off contact with him, and no wonder Yan Mei, no matter how much she loved her son, did not leave the Xiao family with him.
"No, no!" Xiao Weijiang had already knelt in front of Yan Mei, pointing three fingers to the sky and swearing, "I absolutely have no intention of really gambling on the brothel. I just want to hook up with that Tanaka Ryuichi..."
"That's not allowed!" Yan Mei gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face. She hugged Xiao Weijiang's head with trembling hands, "Have you forgotten what you promised us seventeen years ago? You swore that you would never gamble in a kiln again! Weijiang, your father is gone and will never come back, but you can't make the same mistake again, do you understand?"
Seeing Yan Mei crying, Xiao Weijiang also started crying: "Mom, I really don't mean to gamble on the kiln. Believe me, I will never forget what you said to me before!"
The mother and son hugged each other and cried. Xiao Xingyu signaled Zhang Moyan to pull Yan Mei away, and he and Xiao Weizhou pulled up Xiao Weijiang, who looked like he had suffered a great injustice.
"Uncle Weijiang," Xiao Xingyu asked Xiao Huaijiang, who was wiping his tears, "Jiang Dazhu got to know about your gambling at the kiln, so he got violent with you, right?"
Xiao Weijiang wiped his face and nodded. "Yes, Jiang Dazhu also went to the trade fair in Yu County. I don't know where he heard about my gambling with the Japanese about the kiln. He was very angry and threatened that if I didn't cancel the gambling with the Japanese, he would beat me up every time he saw me. I thought he was joking..."
Xiao Weizhou's brows knitted into a "川" shape: "I see!"
Xiao Weiyu was so angry that he was panting: "Well done! Even a lowly person like Jiang Dazhu knows better than you! As for your gambling den, not to mention Jiang Dazhuang, anyone from Ruzhou, no, anyone Chinese can beat you up!"
Xiao Weijiang said nothing.
Xiao Xingyu bent down to help him brush off the dust on his knees, then stood up and said, "So, when Jiang Dazhu was beating you, Xiao Huai, who came to meet you, saw you?"
Xiao Weijiang pursed his lips to hold back his tears, feeling extremely wronged. "Xingyu, you must believe your uncle. I absolutely have no intention of gambling in a kiln! But under the circumstances at that time, Jiang Dazhu was so sure that he even got Tanaka Ryuichi's phone number and asked Xiao Huai to verify it with Tanaka. I had no choice but to admit it. But you must believe me, I will never do such a thing as gambling in a kiln again in my life! If I had such an idea, I would not have a good death!"
"You still want us to believe you? How can you expect us to believe you! Anyway, you will definitely not dare to do it now that the matter has been exposed!" Xiao Weiyu was so angry that his face turned red.
Yan Mei, Xiao Weizhou, the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and a group of others around them all looked disappointed.
