After a while, the servant returned with a cloth in his arms with that cautious look like he’s holding a newborn baby.
He put down the clothes he’s holding in front of Fu Tong for everyone to see.
Fu Tong tells Qiu Yue, “Miss, please look at the two clothes.”
In fact, there is no need to look at it, the two clothes put in the same place, the difference immediately comes out at once.
The purple color cloth which originally looks soft and beautiful, now that there’s a new one put next to it, all the limelight is immediately taken away. Compared with the newly taken out cloth with that kind of grandeur dazzling purple color, it seems to be sluggish.
Qiu Yue pleasantly surprised. “Hey! I’ve never seen such a purple color!” She can’t help but reach out.
Qiu Xing and Qiu Lan are also attracted by the mysterious and magnificent color, they’re all amaze.
Qiu Lan says, “There seems to be no such cloth in the Xiao family’s warehouse. If we buy a pair and make two sets of clothes for Duke Ming, he must be handsome and outstanding.”
Feng Ming laughs, “I have enough clothes, if you don’t help me to make it, Rong Hu will do. Right, Qiu Yue, you help Luo Yun to make a set of clothes too, I see his clothes are either black or gray.”
Qiu Yue asks strangely, “Why should I make it for him? I’m not his…” The last sentence suddenly stuck, as if she felt like she was saying something wrong, she drops her head down and fondle admiringly at the purple color cloth.
Luo Yun is afraid that qiu yue will be questioned by the people, he is even more embarra.s.sed, coughs beside her and interrupts, asking Fu Tong. “How much this purple cloth sell?”
FuTong looks at Feng Ming.
Feng Ming would love to buy this clothes for several maids too, giving it for them to make them happy, he looks at Fu Tong with great interest.
Unexpectedly, Fu Tong frowns and embarra.s.sedly says to Feng Ming. “It’s really embarra.s.sing. If Xiao Young Master looked at something else, even though you just take it, I’ll only consider it as i give it to my friends. But this authentic Emperor Purple is not for sale.”
“Yeah?”
The maids are showing disappointment expression altogether,
“Why not sell it?”
“Can’t we buy it with more money?”
“Old man, just let this one be given to us.” Qiu Lan also says, “We’ve heard the reputation of the Emperor purple, and took advantage of the rare opportunity to come to the Tong Kingdom, specially to find Fu Qi Men.”
A trace of desolateness suddenly appears on Fu Tong’s old face, he sighs, “Miss, you don’t know, the one you see is may be the last authentic Emperor Purple in this world”.
Everyone looks at each other and their expressions look as if they are stunned.
If the old man doesn’t want to sell it to us, he doesn’t need to make such a serious excuse, does he?
Fu Tong is a very good-natured old man, looking at their faces, he also knew what they were thinking, he asks with a wry smile. “You think I’m talking nonsense, right?”
“Ah? No.. no..” Feng Ming, Qiu Lan and others shake their heads together.
Because of his relations.h.i.+p with Qiu Yue, Luo Yun also pays attention to the Emperor Purple cloth that makes no sense, he asks in a deep voice, “Why is it the last one?”
“Yeah…” Fu Tong is being asked by a head-aching question, he sighs in a long voice, it was just a moment of excitement that Xiao Family’s Young Master and everyone had come, it’s as if it has flown away with this sigh, he’s even look more senile now. He shakes his hand and the servant takes the semi-warmed tea bowl to his hand. He bows his head and gives a gentle sip, takes the tea bowl to the servant before he stroking the beloved Emperor Purple, he then says, “Xiao Young Master, this is a long story, and it’s also the homework for our cloth shop, I shouldn’t have been looking for a guest to nag, but…”
“Just say it, we’re all listening.” Mian Ya looks at him as he begins to chatter nonstop, but he halts him quickly and hopes he would get into the subject.
His move is effective.
Fu Tong saved all the previous words and goes straight to the topic, he points at the astonis.h.i.+ngly beautiful purple cloth and asks. “You know, Xiao Young Master, you just said that the cloth isn’t really special, it’s nothing more than an ordinary material, but what’s special about is dyeing. Then, do you know how this Emperor Purple color is dyed?”
