MTL - Enter the Room-Chapter 305

  Chapter 305

  The people in the gatehouse were all stunned for a moment.

  The sedan chair was directly carried in from the gate of the building office, and stopped in the yard of the building office.

  The concierge lifted the curtain of the sedan chair graciously, nodded and bowed and said a few words to the people in the sedan chair, the sedan chair was lowered, and a man in his thirties and forties, wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, stepped out of the sedan chair.

  Ji Shuanghu said to Song Jiyun in a low voice, "It's Master Liu, the ambassador of the Manufacturing Office."

  Song Jiyun nodded, and went forward with Ji Shuanghu.

  Deng Yun saw him, his eyes flickered, and he hurriedly helped Deng Datong to walk towards Master Liu.

   "Master Liu!" They saluted him one after another.

  He nodded reservedly, and his eyes fell on Song Jiyun solemnly.

  Song Jiyun smiled and introduced himself generously.

  Master Liu nodded noncommittally.

Seeing him, Deng Yun hurriedly dragged Deng Datong ahead of Ji Shuanghu and said: "The young one is from the Deng family in Dehua, with the single name Yun. This is the young uncle Seventh. This time he was recruited to build the office. It's my seventh uncle."

  Master Liu said "Oh", looked towards Deng Datong, and said, "You are that Deng Datong who is called 'Porcelain Crazy'?"

  Deng Datong blushed and nervously answered "Yes".

Deng Yun's eyes lit up, he straightened his chest proudly, and said with a flattering smile: "I didn't expect my lord to have heard of my uncle. My uncle is Deng Datong, and everyone in Fujian knows that he is a famous porcelain man." Idiot." As he spoke, he pulled Deng Datong's lapel and said in a low voice, "Uncle, Lord Liu is praising you!"

  Deng Datong saluted Master Liu in a panic.

Mr. Liu laughed, and said tolerantly: "Master Liu, you don't need to be too polite. The Avalokitesvara statue that your family paid tribute to the palace was dedicated to the Queen Mother through my hands. The Avalokitesvara is so lifelike, I can still remember its lifelike appearance. The memory is still fresh and never forgotten.”

   "Where, where!" Deng Datong said nonchalantly, even more nervous, he didn't even know how to let go of his hands and feet.

When Deng Yun saw him, he hurriedly bowed to Mr. Liu, and said, "Please forgive me, my lord. My uncle is of this nature. He doesn't know anything except making porcelain. Otherwise, our parents would not let me go to Beijing with my uncle." , told me to serve my uncle at all times."

  Master Liu said "Yes", even if Deng Yun passed the Ming Road in the government, he would follow Deng Datong in the same place.

  He glanced at Song Jiyun proudly. It seemed to be demonstrating to Song Jiyun, telling her how honorable the Deng family is in front of Mr. Liu.

  Song Jiyun resisted so much that he didn't curl his lips at him.

  Master Liu's gaze has already fallen on Ji Shuanghu.

  He asked kindly: "Then you are the 'Qilin' from the Ji family?"

  Ji Shuanghu still has such a nickname?

  Song Jiyun looked at Ji Shuanghu curiously.

  The Deng nephew also stared at him intently.

  He saluted Master Liu respectfully, and said, "The young one is Ji Shuanghu."

"Not bad, not bad!" Master Liu made no secret of his preference for Ji Shuanghu, and said with a smile, "I heard your uncle mentioned you several times, saying that you are very talented, and what happens to the Ji family in the future depends on you. When I saw him today, he was indeed a handsome young man, and his reputation was well-deserved."

   "I don't dare to do it." Ji Shuanghu hurriedly said, "It's just a family tradition, the predecessors planted trees, the descendants took advantage of the shade, and learned some small tricks."

   "Young people, too modest will make you look old." Master Liu was talking to him affectionately, while going to the main hall.

  Deng Yun dragged Deng Datong to follow quickly, intentionally or unintentionally pushing Song Jiyun aside.

   Song Jiyun was not annoyed either.

  Everyone is new here, and they are so eager for success before they have figured out anything, it is easy to suffer.

  She walked silently at the end, listening with ears.

Master Liu is talking about Ji Shuanghu's uncle: "This is the first time I've heard of someone with the surname 'Ji'... Your uncle has a chivalrous style... I was just a boy at that time, going to Yuelu Academy to study, and your uncle went to Zhuzhou , looking for the successor of Liling Porcelain, we have all gone the wrong way... I have run out of money, and your uncle treats me to a bowl of rice noodles... I have a good meal..."

  Song Jiyun wanted to know Ji Shuanghu's uncle so much.

  Deng Yun's face was not very good-looking.

  He should be worried that Mr. Deng will favor the Ji family.

After we were seated in the main hall and the servants served tea, Mrs. Liu began to talk about business: "There is no other meaning in calling you here. The empress dowager wants to burn something that can be taken away, and she dislikes the things in the palace. The things drawn by the artist are nothing new. This time, I won’t specify the patterns and styles. The three of you will each produce twelve sets of patterns, and you will hand in the drawings in half a month. Whoever can be selected by her old man’s eyes will bear the burden. The porcelain thing."

  The so-called "things that can be taken away" refer to funeral objects.

  With Chunqiu's saying that he wants to make things grand after death but taboos about life and death, it's no wonder that he wants to do this on the Empress Dowager's birthday.

  The three families stood up and agreed.

  Master Liu asked some trivia about when they came to the capital, where they lived, whether they went to Tanzhe Temple to see pear blossoms, etc. Ji Shuanghu answered honestly one by one, but Song Jiyun quietly observed Master Liu's preferences.

  The errands in the construction office are equivalent to a bidding process. Whether the bidding documents are beautiful or not, and whether they can impress people, the effort is usually outside.

  She has to find a way to know more about the ins and outs of this errand, and find a way to find out the preferences of the Empress Dowager.

  Deng Yun obviously thought the same way, he has been taking the initiative to talk to Mr. Liu, and kept implying that the Deng family knew powerful people in the capital.

  Master Liu gradually paid more attention to the Deng family's uncle and nephew, and secretly inquired about who was behind the Deng family.

  Deng Yun took a look at Song Jiyun and Ji Shuanghu, and acted like a fool.

Master Liu thought for a while, brought tea, and looked like he was going to send Song Jiyun and Ji Shuanghu away, but the teacup was brought to his mouth, and for some reason he changed his mind, coughed a few times, and found an excuse He called Deng Yun to the study next to him.

  Ji Shuanghu whispered to Song Jiyun, and said, "Should the two of us join forces?"

   Song Jiyun agreed after a little thought.

  Both of them are fired high-temperature porcelain, and the glaze color of Longquan porcelain is amazing. She has always wanted to know what kind of effect would be produced if the glaze color of Longquan porcelain and the lightness and thinness of Jingdezhen porcelain were put together.

   "How do you want to cooperate?" she whispered.

  Just as Ji Shuanghu was about to speak, as if he saw something suddenly, he sat up straight and pretended to take a sip of tea from the teacup.

  Song Jiyun suspected that Master Liu and Deng Yun had come out.

   When she turned her head, she saw these two people coming out one after the other.

  Master Liu became more enthusiastic about Deng Yun.

   When Deng Datong went forward, he patted Deng Datong on the shoulder and praised with a smile: "You are a good nephew. If you are free, you can go to my house with your nephew."

  Deng Datong nodded repeatedly.

  Ji Shuanghu winked at Song Jiyun.

  Song Jiyun nodded slightly.

  Ji Shuanghu stood up and said goodbye: "We will not delay your business, my lord."

  Song Jiyun said: "I'll get a plan first when I go back, and then I'll ask you to see if it works."

  Master Liu responded with a smile, and sent them off in person. It should be said that he sent Deng's uncle and nephew out of the building office.

   The group bid farewell to Master Liu again.

  Master Liu waved his hand cordially.

  But there was a guard who looked like a guard and ran over recklessly, clutching his shoulders: "Third Young Master, Seventh Master, it's not good, our people were arrested by Shun Tianfu Yin."
