Ellen smiled and shook hands with Chu Ze.

"Master Chu, your familiarity with our etiquette is extraordinary." Ellen had discovered this before. At that time, he thought it was Zuo Ying who told Chu Ze about their etiquette. Chu Ze wanted to respect him. Only then did he use their etiquette.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Because when Chu Ze saw his clothes, he had no other expression besides being amazed.

Seems like it happens often, so it's not surprising.

Ellen asked: "Master Chu, have you ever been to Wales?"

"No." After shaking hands, Chu Ze withdrew his hand and changed the topic directly, "We have a banquet at the Spring Brewing House. Mr. Ellen will join us?"

"No."

Ellen decisively refused with a smile: "I will not go to the gathering between Lord Chu and Young Master Zuo. However, Lord Chu must accept the gift I brought from Wales."

Ellen gestured to the entourage behind her.

The attendant immediately moved a big box.

I don’t know what’s inside, but it seems quite heavy.

Chu Ze took a look and smiled at Ellen: "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, Mr. Chu."

Ellen and Chu Ze exchanged some pleasantries before leaving with their entourage.

As soon as they left, Zuo Ying's eyes were glued to the box and she was reluctant to leave.

"What's in here?" Zuo Ying asked.

Chu Ze asked funnyly.

"You are with him, how can we know if you don't even know?"

"Then... open it and take a look?" Zuo Ying nudged Chu Ze with encouragement, winked at the box, and wanted to reach out immediately to open the box and see what was inside.

However, the owner of the box disagreed.

Chu Ze shook his head and refused: "Ellen gave this to us, what do you see?"

"Come here, take the box back for us."

There were no servants following Chu Ze.

But after his voice fell, several people dressed as ordinary people came towards him from the crowd.

After a while, the box was moved away.

The box is gone, and so is Chu Ze.

Chu Ze's voice came slowly.

"Let's go, I'll take care of you."

In the private room on the second floor of Chunjiang Building, Li Xing and Zhu Xi had already arrived when Chu Ze arrived.

The first person Zuo Ying saw when she opened the door was Zhu Xi.

Zuo Ying paused in his walking movements.

The injury was obviously healed, but Zuo Ying still subconsciously felt pain in his leg.

He silently walked around and sat at the seat furthest away from Zhu Ming.

Zhu Xi: "..."

Chu Ze: "..."

It seems that the sequelae of this injury are not minor.

But Zuo Ying is not a stingy person. Although his legs hurt when he sees Zhu Chong, he has never held any grudge against Zhu Chong.

His character is quite good.

Anyway, Chu Ze felt that he couldn't reach this point.

Chu Ze followed Zuo Ying and walked to his seat to sit down.

"What are you doing sitting here? We're inviting you here to eat, and I'm not asking you to stare. Come on, Zhao Si, let the waiter serve the food." As soon as Chu Ze spoke, the atmosphere in the private room began to flow. , the atmosphere is not as stagnant as before.

They both have lively personalities and quickly become lively.

Zuo Ying was the most excited.

Holding the wine glass in his arms, he began to tell Chu Ze and others about his experiences on this far trip.

Zhu Xi and Li Xing listened carefully.

As he said that, Zuo Ying suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, we also brought you gifts." Zuo Ying clapped his hands, and the servants guarding the door came in. Zuo Ying said, "Bring everything we prepared for them."

"Yes."

The servants retreated.

Chu Ze asked: "What is it?"

"Want to know?"

"Think." Zhu Xi answered.

Zuo Ying smiled mysteriously. He pointed at Zhu Ming and said "Hey" for a long time, and then said: "I won't tell you."

Zhu Xi gave Zuo Ying a fierce middle finger to express his contempt for Zuo Ying's behavior of deliberately titillating people.

Zuo Ying smiled happily.     "Sir, we have brought the things."

The door to the private room opened, and the servant held three boxes in his hands.

The smile on Zuo Ying's brows was not gone. He was holding a wine glass in one hand and chopsticks in the other. He pointed at Chu Ze and the others boldly: "Give them to them."

"all the same?"

Chu Ze looked at Zuo Ying in surprise.

The gifts are packaged separately, which means the contents are different.

Did he just give it to him casually?

This way of giving gifts is quite casual.

Li Xing also glanced at Zuo Ying.

Zuo Ying waved her hand and drank the drink in her hand.

Then he explained: "It's different, but the difference is not big. If you don't like what you have, you can still change it."

Chu Ze and Li Xing looked at each other and thought that this gift was really given casually.

It's actually still replaceable.

Then they want to know even more what is in the box.

The servants delivered the box to Chu Ze and others.

Needless to say, Zuo Ying said, everyone just dismantled it as soon as they got it.

Open it and take a look——

"Wow, what is this?"

"so beautiful!"

Zhu Xi and Li Xing fell one after another.

They took out the contents of the box, held them against the light, and played with them fondly.

Chu Ze: "..."

Zuo Ying looked at Li Xing and Zhu Ping's surprised expressions with satisfaction, which was in line with his expectations.

But what's going on with Chu Ze?

"You don't like it?" Zuo Ying moved closer to Chu Ze.

"Uh...it's not that I don't like it." Chu Ze looked at the gifts in Li Xing and Zhu Ping's hands, and then looked at what was in front of him, with a complicated expression.

For a moment, he didn't know how to express it.

Zuo Ying was not satisfied with his reaction.

He quickly sat up straight, twisted his eyebrows, and said displeased: "Then why do you look like this?"

Chu Ze reached out and took out the contents of the box.

It's a white crystal-like thing.

It was about as big as his palm.

It was made into the shape of a beautiful flying eagle.

The workmanship is not very exquisite, but the materials are rare.

In other words, it is rare in today’s Ming Dynasty.

Because the material is glass.

Don't ask why Chu Ze recognized it. The main reason is that glass and white crystal are completely different.

Chu Ze had a piece of white crystal with excellent texture before.

Besides, Chu Ze didn't think that such an ordinary piece of white crystal would make Zuo Ying put so much effort into bringing it back to them from abroad.

That proves even more that it is glass.

But before that, Chu Ze had to ask first.

"Is this glass?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Zuo Ying's eyes: "How do you know?!"

Chu Ze didn't answer.

Because he can't say that he has seen a lot of glass, right?

So Zuo Ying can't break the casserole and ask what's going on?

What he will ask after that is hard to say.

Chu Ze decided to change the topic: "How did you get these glass products?"

As far as Chu Ze knows, even abroad, in this era, there doesn't seem to be a lot of glass.

Even more so in Ming Dynasty.

Chu Ze remembers that the first record of glass appearing in China was during the Yongzheng period.

It's still too early to leave Yongzheng.

How did Zuo Ying get it?

And it’s still glass with such a rough texture.

Chu Ze was a little disgusted. (End of chapter)
