After being stiffened for half a day the 70 years old Fu Tong finally began to breath deeply, holding his cane, his legs and feet shake violently.
Feng Ming feared that he was over-agitated and causing a stroke, he quickly replaced the generous appeas.e.m.e.nt in behalf of Qiu yue. “Don’t be too agitated, the dyeing secret recipe is something that the Fu family has pa.s.sed down, even if Qiu Yue accidentally guessed, she will not force you to hand it over. It’s fine even if it didn’t happen today.”
Fu Tong flushes and his eyes are fixed on Qiu Yue’s face, he doesn’t blink, as if he were afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye. The old servant makes a few strokes on his back and finally managed to get him breath.
Fu Tong shouts with enthusiasm, “It’s the Will of Heaven! The Will of Heaven! It’s hard to come by, she’s still Xiao Young Master’s person. Isn’t this the Will of Heaven?”
Qiu Yue is still with unsure expression. “Am i right?”
“Yes! That’s right!” Fu Tong smiled with eye smiles, Qiu Yue’s expression is more loving. “Young Miss, what’s your name?”
“Qiu Yue”
“Good! Good name! Even your name has aura! Hahahaha…”
Qiu Xing stunned, even Qiu Yue’s name has aura?
“Quick, servant quickly prepare for paying courtesy to the teacher. Qiu Yue, master will accept you as apprentice today, in the future the craftsmans.h.i.+p of Emperor Purple will be handed over to you!”
“Isn’t this too fast?” Even Qiu Yue can’t help but stunned.
“It’s not fast, master has been over 76 years old, lives day by day, master is worried about the future of the Emperor purple.” Not waiting for Qiu Yue to agree, Fu Tong had already relied on his old age to sell himself, the self-proclaimed master shook his head happily. “After the two disciples were taken away, master was worried about losing the craftsmans.h.i.+p day and night. Aih, those two brothers of yours, even if they studied hard enough, they can’t dye the real Emperor Purple. Fortunately G.o.d sent you to the Fu Qi Men. Maybe you’re the only one who will be able to dye the real Emperor Purple in the future…”
(t/n: Brothers here using ‘s.h.i.+xiong’ is brother from the same teacher, not sibling)
As he said on this side, the servant there had already prepared the hot tea quickly as what he had told him to do, he comes out with holding a square plate and put the set of square plate in front of Fu Tong and asks respectfully, “Master, how about giving this jade as the apprentice’s meeting gift? What do you think?”
There is a b.u.t.terfly jade in the middle of the square plate, the color of the jade is mild, although it’s not a rare treasure in royal palace, but it’s also considered to be good.
Fu Tong is very satisfied. “Un, just this one.” He smiles at Feng Ming, “Excuse me to ask Xiao Young Master to be a witness, this old man has accept the third apprentice Qiu Yue today.”
Feng Ming opens his mouth wide, looking at Fu Tong, then looking at Qiu Yue again. “This… It seems to be too fast, isn’t it? I… I haven’t figured out what’s going on.”
Luo Yun looks coldly at the servant who still hand over the tea on his knees to Qiu Yue, his eyebrows wrinkles, he takes a step forward and pulls Qiu Yue behind him. “Make things clear first.”
The old servant has been mixing in the shop business for all his life, he has acquainted such a guy who emitted a chilly murderous aura somewhere, suddenly he scared himself that his face change.
Mian Ya also takes a step forward and protect Feng Ming behind him.
Fu Tong looks at the changes in front of him in dismay, he figures out after a long time. “Didn’t I make it clear?”
Feng Ming, Qiu Yue, Qiu Xing, Qiu Lan, Mian Ya, Luo Yun, nod almost simultaneously.
“Oh…” Fu Tong sighs. “I’m old, i’m old. Sure enough my brain is no longer good. I’ll make it clear first…” then he begins to chatter away again.
Originally Fu Tong highly values the craftsmans.h.i.+p of Emperor Purple, in order to prevent the secret recipe being pa.s.sed on, his ancestors had set strict teaching rules.
Firstly, the method of dyeing Emperor Purple must be pa.s.sed on to the descendants of the Fu family —— This is for the benefit of the family. Indeed the Fu family pa.s.sed on from generation to generation. By relying on the dyeing technique that no one can compare, at least they don’t have to worry about food and clothing.
