Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 41 Meeting a Famous Minister

Ting Lu and I came to the garden and found that everyone was there except me.The sisters gathered by the pool to feed the fish and have fun, and the mother was chatting with a middle-aged couple in the pavilion.Master and Ting Yu studied calligraphy and wrote one by one.As soon as I appeared, the sisters got up and called me to play. When they heard the movement, the mother and the couple who were chatting in the pavilion looked up to this side.I didn't ignore them. Behind them, another pair of smiling eyes shot straight at me from the air.

"Mulan, the masters of the Zhang family arrived earlier than you, why are you here now?" Mother asked.I hurried over with my skirt in hand, and the two people sitting next to my mother were probably Zhang Ying and his wife.The woman has an easy-going and rich appearance, and her manners are well-behaved, nothing special.Zhang Ying made me pay special attention. After all, he was an important official of the Qing Dynasty. Just looking at this person's face, he looks very different from other people.His face is thin, his eyes are hale and clear, and when he looks at people, there is always a shrewdness to see everything.Being stared at by him, I always feel that he can see my thoughts clearly, so I pulled up all the energy, walked over, and saluted politely.

Before I could open my mouth, Ting Lu, who came after me, smiled and said, "You don't know, Mulan is busy doing handwork in the house. She just finished her work when I went over." After finishing speaking, I left it to my mother. a gift.

"The manual work you do? Is it a female celebrity?" Mrs. Zhang asked curiously.

"It's a teacup, but it's made of bamboo." I turned around and motioned for Xiaoqing to bring it up, and Tingyu and his father, who were writing over there, gathered around to see what was going on.I put the tray on the table, lifted the handkerchief, and several emerald green teacups appeared in front of everyone.There was a burst of exclamation, and Zhang Ying picked up one of them, looked at it carefully, and nodded appreciatively: "The teacup in a bamboo tube is quite innovative, and you made it yourself."

I say yes.Xiaoqing interjected: "Miss Mulan has been busy tinkering with these things since the morning, until now. Urge her to come here quickly, she said that she will prepare thoughtful gifts for the guests."

"Oh, what a skillful hand, look at this handwriting, it's much more beautiful than those written by ordinary girls!" Mrs. Zhang liked it very much, she put down her teacup and looked at me carefully, her mouth couldn't close her smile .After being praised by the Zhang family, the mother and father naturally felt radiant.They glanced at each other, as if they suddenly realized that they didn't know me very well, or seemed to have a new understanding of me."What else did you do besides teacups?" asked the father.

"I also made a meal with bamboo, and you can see it after a while." I took the teapot and made tea one by one, and then brought it to everyone's hands.When Ting Yu took it, he asked very fondly: "I didn't expect you to come up with this idea. By the way, can you give me this teacup?"

I smiled and nodded.Ting Lu leaned forward without losing the opportunity, stretched out her hand and said, "I want it too!"

"No more." I slapped his hand away.He curled his lips, glanced sideways at the teacup in Tingyu's hand, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why does he have it?"
