Chapter 0401: Drama
"Hongya, this is what you painted?" Li said with a look of disbelief.
Hongya nodded hesitantly.
"Hongya, you're doing a good job. You, Amma, will be very happy when you see it. "Li is sure of it.
"E-niang, do you think it's okay? Would Amma like it? Hongya saw a smile on Li's face, so he smiled and said.
"Absolutely. You, Amma, have always liked to draw, but he didn't know that you could draw so well. Li said.
At that time, Wan Ying was watching an elephant sunflower clock sent by the fourth master with Mama Jiang and Chunhua and a few others.
"I've heard that the English are good at making clocks, but we actually made them ourselves?" Wan Ying said in disbelief.
"This thing was made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs itself." Jiang Mama said.
"I haven't seen the clocks made in the Qing Dynasty before, but just now my grandmother said that this pink porcelain bucket cylinder clock is made by me in the Qing Dynasty, the creativity of this clock is really good, a multi-purpose, that is, a clock, and a painting bottle, placed here and the environment in this room is natural, after looking at it for a long time, I saw the clock on this bucket cylinder, it is really exquisite!" Wan Ying said.
"The emperor thought that these wonderful ideas of these Westerners were very good, so they dismantled all the things they sent one by one, and then asked the craftsmen of the Manufacturing Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to learn them one by one, and then made these objects." Jiang Mama said.
Wan Ying said in the textbook she learned in junior high school that the Manchu government closed off the country, which led to the backward situation of modern China, but now the Kangxi in front of him does not seem to be old-fashioned and closed, and he can make his own clock, which shows that the Qing Dynasty is still capable of making things.
"Why didn't the emperor send someone to travel to the West. Foreigners always come to our Qing Dynasty, why don't people in the Qing Dynasty go to foreigners. Going to see their country can also increase the emperor's understanding of other countries. Wan Ying couldn't help but say.
"This is a matter of the previous dynasty. It's not something we can do with our beaks. Mama Jiang glanced at Wan Ying and said.
"By the way, didn't we just discuss Lord Baylor's birthday together, how did you talk about Western species." Wan Ying hurriedly changed the topic.
"Gege himself turned to this." Chunhua said with a smile.
"Lord Belle likes Western objects, or I will rehearse a drama for Lord Belle!" Wan Ying said.
Several people looked at each other.
Because no one knows what the drama she is talking about is!
"Mama Jiang, spring flowers, green fruits, green sprouts, as well as autumn oranges and winter plums, you all have to be my actors!" The more Wan Ying thought about it, the more proud she became, and then said.
"Gege, you have to make it clear what 'drama' is." Mama Jiang saw a hint of an unruly smile on Wan Ying's face, and said seriously.
"Mama Jiang, you don't need to move, you don't need to speak, you just need to stand on the stage. It's okay to do nothing. Wan Ying curled the corners of her mouth and said.
"Stage? The old slave can't sing! Mama Jiang hurriedly refused.
"I don't ask you to sing. Just talk on the stage and express a story out. This is a Westerner opera. Wan Ying said.
"Gege, how do you know that the Westerner's drama is this drama?" Mama Jiang looked at Wan Ying and said.
The eyes are full of scrutiny.
Wan Ying chuckled in her heart, and then hurriedly said: I heard what people said.
