When Li Zhenzong saw this scene, the joy in his eyes was about to overflow. Qingshuang was definitely the most talented girl he had ever met.
The last step was the icing on the cake. She had to carefully “grow” the five morning glory flowers on the porcelain.
Chu Qingshuang was totally engrossed in her work, and her gaze was unprecedentedly serious. At this point, she couldn’t afford to make a mistake.
Wu Quancai stared at Chu Qingshuang for a while, then felt that something was wrong. He looked around and frowned. Why wasn’t he taking action yet?
He found a man and asked him to wait in the alley. That man was very good at using hidden weapons. Wu Quancai wanted that man to use a stone to hit Chu Qingshuang’s hand. As long as Chu Qingshuang’s hand was injured, she definitely wouldn’t be able to make the porcelain embryo. But after waiting for so long, he still didn’t see the man taking action.
Chu Qingzhi looked at Wu Quancai’s darting eyes and a mocking smile appeared on her beautiful face.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was attracted to Chu Qingshuang. To be more precise, they were attracted by the porcelain embryo in her hand.
Everyone held their breath as they watched the flowers “grow” on the porcelain.
“Lifelike, it’s simply lifelike!”
“It’s exactly the same as what is drawn on the paper.”
“This young lady’s future is limitless.”
Li Zhenzong could not hide the smile on his face. Qingshuang was really amazing. When he was at her age, there was no way he could make such a complicated porcelain embryo.
Li Shaoliang’s eyes were already glued to Chu Qingshuang, his eyes filled with admiration.
Chu Qingzhi smiled slightly. She had always believed that her sister could succeed.
The Chu family gradually relaxed. They smiled and looked at Chu Qingshuang proudly.
After checking that her work was satisfactory, she stood up and bowed.
“Master, seniors, the porcelain embryo is completed.”
Li Zhenzong said proudly, “Good, good, good…”
Suddenly, Chu Qingshuang felt dizzy and staggered.
Li Shaoliang, who was standing closest to her, quickly supported her. He was filled with concern. “Junior Sister, are you alright?”
Li Qingyu and the others hurriedly walked over. “Qingshuang…”
Chu Qingshuang rubbed her temples and felt especially tired. “Father, Mother, my head is a little dizzy.”
Li Zhenzong turned to Li Shaoliang and said, “Quickly help Qingshuang into the house to rest.”
Li Shaoliang immediately nodded, “Yes, Father.”
Then, all the guests outside entered the residence. They did not care about what happened next. They believed that Li Zhenzong would not let Wu Quancai off easily.
Tang Jinghong also followed Chu Qingzhi into the residence.
When he returned to the military camp later, he would write a letter to Lord Zhao and tell him what had just happened as a joke.
Once Lord Zhao knew about it, the Wu family could forget about being the porcelain provider for Lord Zhao.
Lord Zhao was the younger brother of the current Emperor and was deeply favored by the Emperor. The entire world knew that he loved three things: war, beauties, and heroes.
When Lord Zhao went to the army to train back then, he happened to be in the same camp as Tang Jinghong. The two of them had even gone to the battlefield together.
On the battlefield, Tang Jinghong risked his life to save Lord Zhao.
Lord Zhao was a forthright person. From then on, he treated Tang Jinghong as a confidant. Whenever Tang Jinghong returned to the capital, Lord Zhao would go look for him.
Many influential people in the capital were very jealous of Tang Jinghong. They thought that he was just a son of a farmer and came from a poor family. It was simply unacceptable for him to be so close to Lord Zhao.
At the entrance, Li Zhenzong stared coldly at Wu Quancai. “What else do you have to say?”
Wu Quancai had slapped himself in the face in front of everyone. His face was ashen. “Hmph, there’s still a long way to go. Let’s wait and see!!!”
With that, he flicked his sleeve and pushed away the person standing behind him. He left angrily.
The people who came with him also left dejectedly.
“Brother Li, congratulations on finding such a good disciple.”
“Yeah, it makes us envious.”
“You’re too lucky. If you come across other talents like her, remember to introduce them to us.”
Everyone was envious.
At this moment, Li Zhenzong felt extremely proud of his disciple. He greeted the guests with a smile, “Everyone, come. Let’s eat and drink inside.”
The people at the door followed Li Zhenzong into the residence. As soon as he entered, he immediately announced the start of the banquet.
What happened at the entrance of the Li mansion quickly spread throughout the porcelain world around Shuiyun County. While everyone was envious of Li Zhenzong, they were very impressed and curious about Chu Qingshuang. At the same time, they looked down on Wu Quancai.
The Wu family’s porcelain business slowly went downhill. In a few years, it would go bankrupt.
In the Chu Village.
There was no lack of matchmakers in every village. This was also a special village characteristic.
On the village road, Matchmaker Chu looked at Matchmaker Yun in surprise. “What brings you to the Chu Village from the Yun Village?”
Matchmaker Yun looked like an ordinary middle-aged village woman. She was dressed in brown clothes, but she had a little red flower on her head that symbolized her identity as a matchmaker. She was full of energy. “I’m here to look for Miss Chu.”
Matchmaker Chu more or less knew who Matchmaker Yun was looking for, but she still said, “Our village is full of Miss Chu.”
Matchmaker Yun waved the handkerchief in her hand. “Aiyo, I’m so happy that I forgot about this. I’m here to look for Chu Qingzhi. Where is her house?”
Matchmaker Chu smiled. “I know what you are up to, but I advise you to give up.”
“Why should I give up?” Matchmaker Yun was puzzled. “The single men in our village all like Qingzhi. Qingzhi is so beautiful and capable. 1 must bring her to our village.”
Matchmaker Chu showed a disdainful look. “I don’t want to criticize you, but your Yun Village is poorer than the Chu Village. Which family is worthy of our Qingzhi?”
Matchmaker Yun insisted, “It’s not up to you to decide if the men in my village are worthy of her or not. It still depends on Miss Chu’s parents. As long as Miss Chu’s parents agree, Miss Chu will belong to our Yun Village.”
Seeing that Matchmaker Yun did not listen to her advice, Matchmaker Chu was a little dissatisfied. “You really won’t give up until you reach the dead end. Qingzhi is not someone the men of your Yun Village can dream of. You’re a toad trying to eat swan meat.”
“Who’s the toad wanting to eat swan meat?” Matchmaker Zhang sashayed over, followed by a few matchmakers with little red flowers on their heads.
Matchmaker Chu sized up everyone. “So you girls made an agreement to come together?”
Matchmaker Zhang smiled and said, “It’s not that we made an agreement. We’re just afraid that Miss Chu will be snatched away if we come late.” Matchmaker Chu said, “Why? Do you all want to bring Qingzhi to your village?”
Matchmaker Zhang shook her handkerchief. “Of course. Miss Chu is the girl everyone wants to marry the most now. All the unmarried men in my village asked me to talk to her family.”
Matchmaker Chu turned her face to Matchmaker Yun and said faintly, “It seems that your village is not the only toad.”
