The press conference three days later was not held in the Maritime Bureau, but was held in a garden with little fame but beautiful scenery. In fact, the big households that dominated the famous garden were willing to lend their own gardens, but the silence was highlighted by silk and porcelain, and they did not want the famous garden to be overwhelmed, so they chose this small garden.

The garden art of this era has reached a very high level. Although this garden is small, it still has flowers and trees and stones. There are all kinds of pavilions, just like the embroidery in Suzhou, with exquisite structure and beautiful beauty.

Under the guidance of the envoy, the guests walked through several pavilions and pavilions. The rockery was covered with green mountains and twists and turns to a second-story pavilion near the water. The plaque in front of the pavilion was engraved with three ancient characters "Tingyuexuan". When they saw the ink treasures of Zhuzhishan, what else could they say besides lamenting the rich cultural heritage of Jiangnan?

After entering, I found that it was a two-story water pavilion outside, and a tall and spacious hall inside, with a three-foot-high flower platform in the middle. There was a guqin on the flower platform, and there was a circle of rosewood, protruding official hat chairs and yellow flower plows around the table, allowing guests to sit or lie down, with fruits, snacks and tea, and guests to use.

This was obviously a small party, with no more than forty or fifty guests at most, and there were already 70 to eighty-eight people. Among them, there were more than the average, and they were actually Western and Persians. Obviously, their fools were the guests of the reception.

These people are not as restrained as Chinese people, without any stranger at all. They look fresh in everything. Although they don’t speak Chinese well, they still chat with the people around them excitedly. Although the Ming Dynasty treated these Westerners a little despised, the two thousand years of etiquette had already integrated the idea of ​​“it’s a great pleasure to have friends from afar” into the bones of Chinese people, so their attitude towards foreigners was equal and friendly, and they were even more curious about their country.

So although people from all over the country were sitting, the atmosphere in the pavilion was still very harmonious. Everyone gathered together and chatted in a low voice. Many people noticed the scenery of lotus flowers swaying and butterflies flying outside the window. They couldn't help but be amazed. It was late autumn at this time, and there should be a pond of residual lotus, and there shouldn't be any butterflies and bees.

Is this a Feng Shui treasure land that is unique? Everyone should look carefully, but today the light is so good that they can't see clearly, so they are about to get closer. They are blocked by a long green velvet table in front of the window, and some exquisite porcelain is placed on the table, which makes people unbearable to get closer.

Those porcelains are either magnificent, elegant and luxurious; or fresh and elegant, with vivid charm; or bright red and bright colors, like morning glow, flexible and soft, soft and delicate; or as thin as paper, fluorescent as jade, blowing to fly; there are also yellow, green and purple, pure three colors, color like jade peacock green, deep and quiet Jiqing, delicate and soft goose yellow, etc.

These ceramics, oh, no, should be said to be ceramic crafts, and their workmanship is extremely exquisite. Even if they are placed in the Ming Dynasty, they are still amazing works of art. Not to mention those ignorant Westerners.

Seeing them all widened their eyes and salivated, they introduced themselves with knowledge: "The magnificent ones are Jiajing colorful; the ones are like ink paintings are Yongle. Xuande blue and white; the ones are as bright as the sun are Xuande red; the ones are as bright as the glaze are covering each other is Chenghua Doucai; the ones are as thin as paper and the ones are as bright as jade are Yongle's thin body and sweet white, etc. The Western businessmen are confused. In fact, they only want to ask the most, that is, how much these treasures cost?!

Just as people were whispering, a few thick self-ringing bells suddenly came from the room, and a total of nine times were ringing. At this time, it was the moment when Tatsumi was in contact.

There was silence in the pavilion, and everyone was waiting for the big man to appear. The curtains of the doors and windows on all sides were lowered. The light in the house became even darker, and people couldn't help but feel a little turbulent.

Fortunately, four palace lanterns covered with gauze were lit up at the four corners of the pavilion. Everyone's eyes gathered on these lamps. One lamp saw colorful fallen flowers, one lamp, and the other two were different. However, the picture on each lamp was flowing, making people look straight.

Looking closer, there seemed to be a slim woman sitting under each lamp, but it was dark under the lamp. Instead, I couldn't see clearly. Just as people were speculating about what was sold in the gourd, they heard a "ding" sound from the center of the pavilion. The sound of the piano was like a messenger of light, making the room light up again

All the people's eyes returned to the high platform where the eight palace lanterns were shining, and they saw a woman wearing a long skirt with a veil on the ground. She appeared at some point. It seemed that she had been sitting there, and the sound of the piano was from her.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on her long skirt. What kind of exquisite material was it? It was like a cloud or a canal of water. The long skirt covered the entire platform, drooping down, and there was no wind. Everyone looked at the silk hanging in front of them, which seemed to be colorful, and seemed to be colorless, as if there were patterns, as if there were no patterns, which made people puzzled.

A breeze blew by, and the corners of the skirt flew gently. The colors on it were even more dreamy, making the woman sitting on the high platform seem to be floating in the air.

People are lamenting the realm of a fairy under the moon. The sound of the piano sounds, and there are drums and Su flutes. Various instruments are singing and playing a beautiful melody. This musical statement is clearly played by the female musician in the pavilion, but it makes people feel as if the distant sky is coming.

This sound of nature touches people's ear drums and shakes people's hearts. Even if the person is in a turbulent mood, he can't help but immerse himself in it.

The music was as gentle as the wind, the birds chirped, and all things were in the morning, and gradually the fish belly was white in the east. Although the sun had not yet risen, the sky was bright, and the light in the house gradually became brighter. People couldn't help but look around and found that after the gauze brushed past, all the lotus in the pond closed into flower buds, bees and butterflies, circling the buds that had not yet bloomed, but could not find a place to stay.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder whether this was in a dream or a fairyland? It didn't look like an ordinary world anyway.

At this moment, the music gradually became excited and the light became brighter and brighter, as if the sun was rising. Even the lotus in the pond seemed to be the sound of the piano to open.

Those lotus flowers are indeed different. Compared with the buds in the previous section, the petals have been slightly opened.

"It's going to be opened!" A Persian merchant finally couldn't help but blurted out. He spoke Chinese, but he obviously learned it with a difficult Wu Yin.

Needless to say, everyone also saw that the lotus flowers in the lotus pond were gradually blooming, and the butterflies and bees came up, as if they couldn't wait to eat nectar.

Then the sound of the piano changed, the sun rose, the sky was bright, the lotus blossomed, and the bees and butterflies finally fell in the heart of the flower. They began to enjoy happily

When the music reaches the latter part, the light gradually fades, just like the quiet mountains and autumn chirping, the moon is high and the forest is high. Everyone can see the lotus gradually closing, and the bees and butterflies disappear. The wind suddenly rises, and the moonlight on the lotus pond is wrinkled, making people feel refreshed.

The next wisp of piano sounded around the beam for a long time, but the merchants in the pavilion still held their breath, as if they were still immersed in the dreamy scene.

At this time, the light in the room lit up again, and a man laughed and said, "Wake up, everyone." Finally, he woke everyone up, and saw the owner standing here next to the flower platform, the prefect of Suzhou was silent. Today, he was not wearing official uniforms, nor the simple casual clothes of the past, but a well-tailed Su embroidered ink bamboo pulling away, holding a sandalwood folding fan, with a leisurely style, a chivalrous and elegant style, and an endless stream of beautiful and handsomeness.

What is a noble? Those who can wear brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes to show their charm are authentic nobles.

I don’t know who shouted good, and praise suddenly spread. I don’t know whether it was praise for this fantasy performance or the good looks of the adults. Although he was very narcissistic, he was still willing to do the former. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be in vain?

Silent bowed and laughed loudly: "I am holding this press conference today. Thank you for coming to support you. I wonder if you are satisfied with the program just now?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied." Everyone praised, and the outspoken Westerner asked: "May I ask, how long has it been just now?" Of course, it was asked by Tongzhi.

Silently lifted the red silk on the side with his hands, and a clock more than three feet high appeared. He glanced at him and said, "According to your Westerners, it was only nine o'clock, and now it's just a quarter of an hour." As he said that, he looked at one of them and smiled, "Mr. Chamas, the self-ringing bell you gave is very useful."

The blonde man stood up and saluted him, and the translator next to him said: "It's great to like it. This thing is a big bell in churches in Europa. Only they are so small in Italy." Everyone said that the Westerners are still real, so they are so anxious to show their merits.

After a brief laugh, even greater questions emerged, and people asked, "Why do lotus outside bloom and close in such a short time?"

Silent and cheerful smiled: "Now in late October, how can there be any lotus flowers?"

Everyone said in unison: "What is that?"

"You may as well move forward." After a silent wave, a waiter removed the long table so that everyone could approach the window.

After silently stretched out his hand to make a request, everyone stood up and walked towards the window.

When I got closer, I heard a slight breathing sound, as if I were eating noodles.

Everyone lifted the curtain and saw a pond. The water was empty, so where was there any lotus flowers? There was not even a lotus leaf.

"What's going on?" Everyone turned around and asked silently, "Sir, don't keep it in silence, otherwise we must suffocate to death!"

Silent smiled and said, "Let it go!" But this was shouted to the outside.

As soon as the words came to an end, everyone felt a flash of eyes. They couldn't help but rub their eyes and saw that the originally empty pond suddenly turned into a scene of lotus flowers and bees and butterflies flying.

This time, everyone could see some clues, so someone reached out to touch it, and sure enough, they touched a layer of almost transparent gauze. Looking at the lotus leaves, bees and butterflies, they were all embroidered with colorful silk threads!

"Pick it off." Chen said again. Immediately, someone took the 'Xiao Shang Su Xiu' hanging on the window into the house, and each corner was stretched out to show it to everyone.

"Please enjoy it all." Silently smiled. Everyone leaned closer to see the petals of the lotus, the veins of the lotus leaves, and even the wings of the butterfly, and the wings of the bee were all embroidered with extremely thin silk threads, which were vivid in such close view. What is rare is that the pattern and color of each flower, each lotus, and each butterfly and the bee are different in shape and movement, just like a real lotus bee butterfly!

Amid the amazement of the crowd, the curious Westerner looked at the Su Xiu up and down, left and right, and finally asked in confusion: "How did the change be achieved?"

"Haha." said quietly, "This is a trick, and a piece of silk can't be done." As he said that, he clapped his hands, and then a waiter took off a few pieces of "Su Embroidery" that looked exactly the same for everyone to appreciate.

They were still the lotus flowers, or the butterflies. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing where the mechanism was.

"Look carefully." Silently smiled, "Look at it." As he said, he stretched out his slender fingers and pointed to the embroidery of the next year's feeling, and he was referring to a lotus flower in the same position.

Under the reminder of the prefect, everyone finally discovered that there was indeed no one of the lotus flowers on the embroidery of the next year's embroidery, as if they were drawing the scenery of the day in the lotus pond and displaying it in front of them at the same time.

Amidst the shocking sound of praise, everyone followed Lord Shen back to their seats, praising Su Xi for having reached the pinnacle. She was so skillful that she completely distorted the real one!

"This is not a peak." Silent and reserved smiled, "Is it, Eunuch Huang?" A very low-key fat eunuch in the house nodded and smiled, "These Su embroidery are very good, but they can only be regarded as the best among mass-produced and exported products. Those who paid tribute to Beijing are three more exquisite than this."

He is a big rank of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and his natural and authoritative speech.
