Chapter 247 - 247 202 The Humble Maiden
?Chapter 247: Chapter 202: The Humble Maiden Chapter 247: Chapter 202: The Humble Maiden Taiching Four Mansions, the southwestern corner.
A maple forest was hidden in one corner, where an elegant hut resided.
Inside the yard of the hut, in front of a stone table, a man and a woman were brewing spring water for tea.
The man was an elder in a green robe, his face weathered but adorned with meticulously combed black hair.
He lifted the kettle of boiling water and filled a teacup to seventy percent, not a drop more or less, perfectly measuring the tea within the cup.
Yan Jidao gently pushed the steaming cup of tea towards the guest across the table and looked up directly at the woman, whose arrival had surprised him greatly.
Yan Jidao cut directly to the chase, “Why have you come?”
As he spoke, he glanced at the woman across the table who wore her hair tied up in a man’s style and was dressed in a Confucian robe.
In the air lingered a subtly enchanting fragrance of orchids.
This, Yan Jidao knew a bit about; although he had little interaction with her, he had long heard that this female Teacher, who had recently joined the Academy and possessed a special identity, was extremely fond of orchids and calligraphy.
Seeing Zhu Weirui’s hesitant expression, he frowned and asked,
“Has something happened at the Academy, or do you have some pedagogical issue that you wish to discuss with this old man? I have heard you are lecturing the new students, serving as the Teacher of Art Studies. Although I haven’t taken on new students in recent years, I do have some experience as a Teacher of Art Studies that I could share with you.”
Zhu Weirui, who was staring at her teacup, shook her head, glanced at the cup Yan Jidao had offered, and looked up apologetically, “I am sorry, Senior Yan, please wait a moment.”
With that, Zhu Weirui flicked her finger against a jade pendant at her waist, drawing out a white porcelain teacup from the Sumeru Object, and placed it on the table.
