Chapter 59: Encounter in the Back Garden

  The flower petal had written on it: "After searching for him in the midst of a thousand paces, suddenly turning back, that person was actually at the place where the lanterns were dimly lit!" My brushwork is really a bit sorry to behold, I had been pondering it for half a day when I was at Song Fu's residence and came up with this feather pen, which works on the same principle as an atomic pen. The characters written with it are delicate and fine, so it seems that they look quite good after all.

  Wei Zifu handed it over and asked me: "Sister, what pen did you use to write this? How can it be so fine?"

  I smiled and pulled out the pure white feather pen from my bag, saying "This is it."

  Wei Zifu and Yiqian Xun were both astonished, Wei Zifu first took it over, carefully examined it for a while before handing it to Yiqian Xun in defeat: "Take a look, I've never seen such calligraphy."

  Chihiro solemnly accepted it, held it in her hand and gazed at it carefully for a while, only to say: "I'm sorry, Chihiro has no knowledge of this brush, it seems like I've never seen it before."

  I couldn't help but find them somewhat amusing, but considering that they were bookworms, especially Yiqian Xun being the number one talented scholar, they must have seen even more precious pens, and Weizi Fu being a young prince, he might have seen even more famous pens.

  They had never seen this kind of pen before, and they were amazed that I could write such fine characters with it. Fortunately, they used block letters in their era; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to read the characters I wrote.

  "Sister, where did you find this pen?" Wei Zifu gazed at the pen with admiration, clearly delighted.

  Chihiro couldn't help but say, "The person who wrote this must have a delicate and meticulous mind, and is clever enough to steal the attention of heaven itself. She must be an elegant young lady. If I'm lucky enough to meet someone like that in my lifetime, it would be more than enough."

  Cough... The inventor of the carbon pen, please forgive my audacity. I just said: "This pen is not made by some extraordinary person, nor did I find it somewhere." I looked at their astonished and hopeful faces and said: "This pen was simply something I came up with on a whim."

  The two of them were astonished when they heard me finish speaking, and Wei Zifu looked at me with a gaze that was almost worshipful: "Sister, you're really amazing."

  Chihiro is also sighing: "The young lady not only has a kind heart, but is also extremely intelligent, Chihiro admires her." He bowed to me, apparently sincere.
