Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 24 Porcelain
After half an hour.

"In business, since we have reached an agreement, we might as well make a contract." Zhu Xiuyuan suggested.

"That's right!" Po Yan immediately brought out pens, ink, paper and inkstones and placed them on a simple round table.

Zhu Xiuyuan picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, thought for a while, turned his head to look at the butler, and said with a smile: "Butler, you should write it."

Zhu Xiuyuan's calligraphy... is difficult to describe in one word.

First, he knew the traditional Chinese characters in books, but he couldn't write them.

Secondly, he has never practiced calligraphy and cannot write.

"I'll come, I'll come!" Before the housekeeper responded, Dong Shuzhen jumped up.

"Okay, let me do it then."

Passing the brush over, Dong Shuzhen took it excitedly.

The whiteness of her small hands is in sharp contrast with the brush, ink, inkstone, etc.

With a smile on her face, she picked up her pen and wrote the beginning.

In today's world, contracts and other documents have a fixed format. It is obvious that Dong Shuzhen is familiar with this format.

"My lady's calligraphy is pretty good!"

Zhu Xiuyuan looked aside and saw that Dong Shuzhen's calligraphy was not only neat and beautiful, but also as beautiful as if it were painted...

Can't help but praise.

"The second young lady of the Dong family is really a lady of the family. Not only does she look like a flower, but her handwriting is also so beautiful!" Yan Po came over and praised Dong Shuzhen as well.

The two old guys, the housekeeper and the tea garden manager, also shamelessly came over to join in the fun.

Dong Shuzhen is said to be rare in the world...

Anyway, they all call themselves "old slaves", so they can't praise Dong Shuzhen too much...

"hey-hey……"

Dong Shuzhen smiled proudly, her face flushed with excitement.

She held the brush in her hand and wrote even more vigorously.

After writing the fixed format, Dong Shuzhen picked up the pen and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan, "Husband, what should I write next?"

……

The cooperation is over.

A contract has also been made.

It was noon, and Yan Po enthusiastically left a meal. The housekeeper and tea garden manager were all ready to stay for a light meal, but Zhu Xiuyuan refused.

Because he had to rush to Jingdezhen and find a master to make custom-made porcelain tea sets.

"Husband, I'm ready, let's set off now."

At this time, Dong Shuzhen appeared.

Behind him were two maids, Xia Wu and Qiu Wen.

Xia Wu and Qiu Wen each had a small baggage on their shoulders, looking ready to go.

"Where?"

"Jingdezhen! Husband, aren't we going to Jingdezhen to see how to make porcelain?"

Dong Shuzhen directly hugged his arm and dragged him out, "Husband, you said you were going to take someone out to play today. Coming here doesn't count. Going to Jingdezhen to watch the porcelain making will count."

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn’t laugh or cry...

"We are not going to see how to make porcelain, but to find someone to order a batch of porcelain." Let Dong Shuzhen drag her away from Yan Po's tea garden, and the two of them got on the carriage.

"Oh, it turns out I'm looking for someone to customize porcelain. That would be more fun. Husband, can you let them customize one for me?"

On the carriage, Dong Shuzhen grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan's hand and laughed, looking expectant.

"What? Customized one for you?" Zhu Xiuyuan was a little confused.

"Yes, I heard that the craftsmen are so skilled that they can bake the same human-shaped porcelain according to a person. How fun it is!" There was innocent longing on her face.

"Don't make trouble!"

Zhu Xiuyuan's face darkened. What are you doing as a human figurine? Are you going to be buried with him?Not auspicious at all...

The scale of porcelain fired in Jingdezhen far exceeded Zhu Xiuyuan's imagination.

They found a master craftsman who was said to be the most reputable, and left behind patterns of tea sets such as teapots, tea cups, tea cups, and tea cups, as well as a deposit.

And agree on the time for sample delivery.

If the Dong family is satisfied with the sample, it can be fired in large quantities.

……

After finishing the business, under Dong Shuzhen's persuasion, the group went for a stroll in the streets of Jingdezhen.

They ate famous local snacks, bought a bunch of porcelain works of art, and returned home with a full load.

……

night.

In the manor of Dongjia Tea Garden.

After having dinner and washing up, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen went back to their respective rooms to rest.

"I'll go back to Jiangzhou tomorrow." Zhu Xiuyuan said before entering the door.

"Oh……"

Dong Shuzhen's interest suddenly dropped, and her originally bouncing walking posture suddenly turned into a step-by-step...

I wish Xiu Yuan is in the house.

Qiu Wen helped Zhu Xiuyuan change clothes as usual.

But today, Zhu Xiuyuan noticed that Qiu Wen hesitated several times, her round face seemed to have been fumigated by the heat, and her quickness in working had also disappeared.

It had only been more than ten days, but Zhu Xiuyuan was already used to Qiu Wen's service.When Qiu Wen helps him change clothes, he will cooperate, such as opening his hands and so on, so that Qiu Wen can help him change clothes more easily.

This has almost become a tacit understanding between the two.

However, this tacit understanding seemed to be disrupted today. Qiu Wen failed to keep up with Zhu Xiuyuan's rhythm...

Combined with Qiu Wen's hesitation several times and the abnormality of her round face, Zhu Xiuyuan was almost certain that there must be something wrong with Qiu Wen!

"Qiu Wen, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Xiuyuan opened his hands and waited for Qiu Wen to help him change clothes. At the same time, he lowered his head and looked at Qiu Wen's round face.

"Ah...no...no, slave, I have nothing to say."

Qiu Wen was obviously startled, as if she had been bitten by an ant. She was confused and her little head lowered even lower.

"No? Then did you encounter any difficulties?"

Zhu Xiuyuan's curiosity was fully aroused. He bent down and took a look at Qiu Wen's small, round face.

"No..." Qiu Wen wrung her hands, her little round face turned red, she was very embarrassed and almost cried.
