Chapter 231 Not Worthy
"My family's house is in the nearby Luonan Mansion. I wonder if Lord He would be willing to come to your house and stay for a while? Let me entertain Lord He and his party well, which is also a way to express my gratitude."
After Su Wenxuan finished speaking, he bowed again.
"So you are the son of the Zi family in Anmin County. Hello, Mr. Su." He Yanxiu bowed slightly. "Mr. Su means well, but I was just passing through here and now I have to rush back to the capital. It is really not appropriate for me to stay here for long. I hope Mr. Su will forgive me."
"Master He shoulders an important responsibility and is very busy. I really shouldn't bother you any more. I won't keep you here any longer." Su Wenxuan ordered his servants to carry the things over. "These are two sets of Jun kiln celadon glaze tea cups I got a few days ago. The glaze color is excellent and can be considered quite good. I hope Master He will not despise them and must accept them. Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep well."
After all, it was a life-saving favor, so He Yanxiu did not refuse and told Xing'an to accept it, "Mr. Su, thank you for the expense."
"Master He is so polite. This is my blessing." Su Wenxuan bowed again. "Master He is busy. I will not disturb you any more. I wish you a safe journey. If you pass by here in the future, please come to my home as a guest."
"Sure." He Yanxiu nodded, bowed in return and returned to the cabin.
The boatman rowed the oars, raised the sails, and the boat slowly left.
When the boat that He Yanxiu was on gradually left and became smaller and blurrier in his sight, Su Wenxuan withdrew his gaze, lowered the corners of his lips, and his face darkened.
"Did you find the thing?"
"In reply to your question, sir, I ordered people to search for the person in the nearby river for a long time under the pretext of helping the county government, but they still couldn't find him." The servant Congfu replied, and then hurriedly said, "It's because we are incompetent. Please punish us, sir."
Su Wenxuan frowned, but spoke in a friendly manner, "The canal is so big, and the token is so small, it would be very difficult to find it. Fortunately, Chai Mingjun is dead, and probably no one else will know about this, so it doesn't matter."
Even if someone was sent by the Prince of Yue's Palace, based on their understanding of Chai Mingjun and the current situation, they would probably just think that he was being killed because of personal grudges.
"Pack up and go home first."
I first told my father and mother that I had escaped from the predicament, so that my family could feel at ease.
"Yes." Congfu agreed, and then reminded, "The young master gave the Jun kiln teacup to Lord He. I'm afraid he won't have anything good to give to Miss this time. Miss will be disappointed."
Su Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's give the Jun kiln grape purple begonia vase to Ruoruo. The color is very bright and Ruoruo will definitely like it."
"But that vase..."
It was originally intended to be a gift to the daughter of Magistrate Luo.
Congfu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
"It's okay. I was just about to discuss this with my parents." Su Wenxuan said, "Miss Luo is well-educated and has outstanding looks, but I am just an ordinary person with no special talents, and I have not made any achievements in studying. I am really not worthy of Miss Luo. Let's give up the matter of going to the Luo family to propose marriage."
What's more, there are some things that he would rather obtain through his own efforts rather than relying on marriage.
Although his parents had good intentions and the Luo family had their own plans, he insisted on his own ideas.
"Yes." Cong Fu agreed, but he sighed in his heart.
My son is both talented and handsome. Since he reached the right age to get married, the door of our house has almost been trampled. He actually said that he is not worthy of Miss Luo. It's too self-deprecating...
…
The boat moved forward slowly, and He Yanxiu opened the two sets of tea cups that Su Wenxuan brought up.
As he said, it is a sky blue glaze tea cup produced by the Jun kiln. It has elegant color and superior texture, and is truly a fine product.
For something like porcelain, even for extremely experienced craftsmen, the glaze color may not be exactly the same every time. This is especially true for porcelain produced by the Jun kiln, which has never paid attention to painting and carving techniques. Instead, the glaze color and patterns on the surface of the porcelain are ever-changing by controlling the ratio of the porcelain body and glaze, as well as the furnace temperature and cooling time during the firing process.
It can be said that even porcelain fired in the same kiln will have different results, and it is truly something that can only be encountered by chance.
He Yanxiu handed one of the Jun kiln tea cups to Xing'an, "This is a thank you gift from Su Wenxuan for saving my life. You also saved his life that day, so this set is yours."
Su Wenxuan specially gave two sets of tea cups for this purpose.
"Thank you, Master."
This Jun kiln porcelain is a rare and fine product. Xing'an also finds it extremely precious, so he took it happily.
After taking a look at the teacups and finding that they were indeed not ordinary objects, he rolled his eyes again and again, and even bowed to He Yanxiu, "Second Master, since you have given me these Jun kiln teacups, can I do with them as I please?"
"Of course." He Yanxiu said, "Your things are yours, so you can dispose of them as you please."
"Okay!" Xing'an walked out of the door happily, and then went into the room next to him. "Miss Su, I just got a set of Jun kiln tea cups. It was a thank-you gift from a drowning man who was rescued last night. The second master gave me a set as a reward. I think the texture is excellent, and the glaze is top-notch. It is a very good item."
"I am a servant. Even if I get such a good thing, I am afraid I am not worthy of using it. Seeing the light and elegant color, I think Miss Su might like it. So I will give it to Miss Su."
"How can I be the worthy one for such a good thing?" Su Yujin declined hastily.
"Don't be polite, Miss Su. Please accept it. It's not given away for nothing. When you have time, please make some dried meat jerky and candied fruits for me. Please give me more of them." Xing'an laughed.
The He family is a wealthy and powerful family with many maids and servants. Xing'an must have some good relationships with them, so he wants to give them some good things from time to time to broaden their horizons.
The rewards from the master are often obtained and are not particularly rare. On the contrary, the food from Su Yujin is a rare thing that one can never get enough of.
Xing'an thought that asking for food would inevitably cause trouble, and it just so happened that he had no use for the Jun kiln teacup, so it would be a good deal to exchange it for some daily food.
"Since you said so, I will accept it without hesitation." Su Yujin asked Ai Cao to accept the teacup and gave the plate of fish skin peanuts next to it to Xing'an. "I haven't had anything to eat these days. This is what I made two days ago. There are only so many left. Take it to sharpen your teeth. I'll make you some more when we return to Qinghe."
"Thank you, Miss Su." Xing'an took the fish skin peanuts and went happily again.
He Yanxiu, who had just stood up with a Jun kiln teacup in his hand, said, "..."
He originally planned to give the teacup to Su Yujin, but it was delivered to Xing'an first. If he went there again, wouldn't it seem unremarkable or even redundant?
Jun kiln is one of the official kilns. Official kiln is a general term among the people. It is further divided into imperial kiln and official kiln. Imperial kiln is exclusively for the royal family, while official kiln is for officials and wealthy businessmen.
