Chapter 821: I know the formula
Shen Junxi heard her sharp cry and thought something had happened which was why he hurried over to see what was going on but when he lowered his head, he did not find anything wrong with the package. A bit confused, he looked at Su Wan and asked, " Whats the matter? Are you not happy?"
How can she be happy? When Su Wan asked for a big glass, she clearly meant one that was as transparent as the one that her uncle wore but this piece of glass was not clear. It was blurry and had many impurities that were not taken care of making it look murky. With such a blurry glass, if she were to use it in the aquarium, no one would be able to see anything!
This thing couldn't be used!
" Uncle Junxi, I wanted a clear piece of glass, not this. Are you sure that the artisans did not make a mistake?" Su Wan thought that the artisans of the M country took her money and handed her a bad piece of glass but to her surprise her uncle frowned at her and then said, " Wan Wan, what do you mean? This piece of glass is a rare treasure in the M city how can you say that there is a mistake?
Your uncle had to use a lot of contacts to get his hands on this piece of glass."
The art of glass making was something that the artisans of the M country kept close to their hearts.
Even if one were to offer them thousands of golden taels they might not agree to sell it, what was more there were only a few artisans who knew how to make glass which was why the price of even this small piece of glass was hundred taels, though it was nothing in the eyes of Shen family, it was still not good for Su Wan to show her dislike towards this piece of glass that fell in their grasp after a lot of trouble, right?
As her eldest uncle, Shen Junxi thought that it was time to teach Su Wan a lesson about how to not act like a spoiled brat. She was a mother now, cannot allow her to be willful anymore.
Thus, Su Wan had to listen to a lecture on how she needed to be a good mother and could no longer act as childish as she did in the past including how she needed to be calm and steady even if things were not going according to her way.
Su Wan: "…" Not only she didn't get the piece of glass that she wanted but she also had to listen to a lecture.
Seeing the ' I wish I was dead' look on Su Wan's face, Old Madam Shen smacked her son on the arm and then said, "Why are you scolding Wan Wan, there might be a reason why she is upset isn't it, Wan Wan?" She asked Su Wan who hesitated and replied,
" I just thought that this piece of glass would be as clear as the one that Third Uncle wears."
Shen Junxi looked at Su Wan who was pouting unhappily after her plans suddenly met with a sudden obstacle and then said in a helpless voice, " How can that be done? It is not easy to make clean glass, not many artisans can do it."
He only heard of a single artisan in M city who was able to make a clear piece of glass but the next day he was killed after he refused to sell the formula to a rich official who wanted to earn a big sum of money. After that many artisans tried to follow suit but they couldn't do it as they were not skilled enough.
The key to making a clear piece of glass went with the artisan who refused to sell the formula and they could only make do with these unclear pieces of glass.
Su Wan seemed to have understood what was the problem with the artisans, though they could refine the small piece of glass, the bigger ones were a problem which caused them to do an unfinished job. She looked at the murky piece of glass and thought about something before sighing.
Because she had attracted the attention of a concubine she did not want to attract any more attention and remain low key but looks like her desire to stay low wouldn't be able to get fulfilled. She sighed in frustration again causing Lin Yan to turn and look at his wife with a confused expression on his face as he asked, " Why are you sighing as if you have lost millions of taels ?"
" You will not understand the baggage of someone too good," replied Su Wan.
Lin Yan: "…" I will show you who is good… in bed just wait!
Su Wan did not know that she had offended one of her husbands, she got up from the couch and then went to look for Fei Qinfan, though this guy was only good at eating and sleeping, he was still a prince as long as he helped her out a little, Su Wan was certain that she did not have to worry about anyone.
With that thought in her head, she turned to the guard who returned with pomelo's tree and asked, " Where is your master?"
Chi Jian looked at Su Wan who was asking for his master and did not know what to say. Why was this woman suddenly asking for his master? Was she trying to empty the pockets of his master once again? Seeing the determined expression on Su Wan's face, Chi Jian had a feeling that it was indeed the case.
When Su Wan saw that Chi Jian was hesitating, she rolled her eyes and with an offended expression said, " Why are you acting like I am going to eat your master? He is such a big man and I am so tiny. I just want to talk to him all right and with you there what can go wrong?"
Chi Jian: "…" I was with him the last time and he still lost a thousand taels.
