Chinese students at Hogwarts
Chapter 97 Taoist gift
The boat seemed to be flying slowly and fast in the sky, and the bow of the boat was still slightly raised, as if it was really traveling on the water.
Zhang Xiao curiously lay on the side of the boat and stretched his head to look down. The wind was howling, but it was quite quiet inside the boat. Li Qingshu could even read a novel while cracking melon seeds.
Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered the long-hidden dream in his heart, turned around and shouted:
"Dad, didn't you say that the wind is too strong for Yu Jian? Isn't there no wind now?"
Zhang Chengdao snorted: "How big is this ship and how big is the sword?
Do you know how complicated it is to fly stably and fast, plus be windproof?
The little space on the sword body is not enough. Of course, if you get a flying sword the size of a door panel, just pretend I didn't say anything. "
Not only is the door panel so big, I also want to install guardrails!
Zhang Xiao wisely ended the topic and looked at the scenery again.
The UK is not really that big, and the straight-line distance from their villa in Devon to their burrow in Devon is only about two hundred kilometers.
As the distance got closer, Zhang Chengdao controlled the flying boat to slow down and prepare to land.
"I'll take a look at Ottery St. Catchpole. It should be almost there."
I didn’t know where my father was locating, but when the flying boat descended to a certain height, I could already see dark patterns composed of fields and clusters of trees.
In addition, there is a crooked building with four or five floors.
The flying boat slowly stopped about half a meter above the ground, and then landed bit by bit until it touched the ground.
Zhang Xiao and his parents got off the flying boat together. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were already waiting at the gate.
Mr. Arthur Weasley was a thin man, slightly bald, but what little hair he had left was as red as his children's.
He was wearing an ironed, straight wizard's robe, and he seemed to be trying hard to look formal.
Mo Li wore a skirt suit, and the couple showed their utmost sincerity to welcome Zhang Xiao's family.
Li Qingshu took her husband's arm and Zhang Xiao's hand and walked forward.
"Mr. Arthur Weasley, Mrs. Molly, nice to meet you, thank you for the invitation."
Zhang Chengdao stretched out his hand, Arthur quickly took it and said enthusiastically:
"Welcome to visit, oh, what is that? It looks great, is it powered by electricity?"
Arthur's eyes were unconsciously attracted to Feizhou, and he couldn't help asking.
The smile on Molly's face froze and she pinched her husband hard.
"Ah! Ahem, I mean welcome, please come in. We rarely have guests come to visit us officially, so it's a bit shabby."
This was the first time Zhang Xiao looked at the Burrow at such a close distance.
It seemed to have been a large pigsty built with stones, but later rooms were added here and there, until it was several stories high and crooked as if it had been erected by magic.
There are four or five chimneys on the roof of the red house, and a sign is inserted diagonally in front of the house that reads "Burrow".
Beside the gate were some high-top leather boots and a rusty cauldron. Several fat brown chickens were pecking in the yard.
Arthur rubbed his hands with some embarrassment. He was not good at dealing with people, but he still tried hard to introduce Zhang Xiao's family:
"The Burrow, at first, it was just a small cabin for me and Molly, ahem, and Molly, but with the arrival of the children, we had to add more,
Apparently my wife and I lacked some architectural talent, which is why it ended up like this.
Because it was so simple, we called it the Burrow. "
Arthur knew Zhang Chengdao's reputation, or that this mysterious oriental nobleman was a popular figure in the entire wizarding world.
Through him, many pureblood families have made a lot of money!
This brought Mr. Zhang's reputation to a higher level, and Arthur had heard some rumors in the Ministry of Magic.
It is said that the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, is trying to get acquainted with Mr. Zhang.
Because of his outstanding influence among the purebloods and his unparalleled financial resources.
But the strange thing is that Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to be interested in the powerful Minister of Magic, otherwise he would have become a guest of the Minister long ago.
To be honest, Arthur was hesitant about inviting the Zhang family over, but his wife's words reminded him.
"Arthur, we just invited him out of a parent's gratitude to Ron as a good friend, not for anything else."
Until this time, Arthur finally felt a little embarrassed, because his home was too simple. This Mr. Zhang had an extraordinary bearing. He should be like Malfoy, or richer than Malfoy.
"Mr. Arthur, Mrs. Molly, this house is amazing!"
Zhang Xiao's words interrupted Arthur's reverie. He was suddenly stunned and asked at a loss:
"Huh? Son, you mean...you like it here very much?"
Zhang Xiao smiled and nodded, joking, is there any cabin that is more in line with a child's imagination than the Burrow?
"Yeah, I can't wait to visit it, can I go in?"
"Of course, Ronnie is waiting for you inside, and Harry, he just arrived."
After receiving permission, Zhang Xiao immediately trotted in, and soon Ron and Harry's happy shouts came from the room:
"Zhang, you're here!" "We've been waiting for you for a long time! I wanted to call you over when I drove the car to rescue Harry."
Listening to the lively chatter of the children in the room, the four adults couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Chengdao took out the gift box from the Qiankun bag and said with a smile:
"The boy is right, Mr. Arthur, this is a very fine house.
We have a saying in China called "Family harmony makes everything prosper", which means that family harmony will make everything positive.
A house that carries family affection is far more valuable than an empty mansion.
This is a small gift for visiting your home for the first time. "
Arthur suddenly understood why his children and Harry could become friends with this Slytherin boy.
With such parents, the children they teach will not be bad, right?
He took the gift box and opened it directly, revealing the contents. He immediately showed a curious look and asked with interest:
"Oh, this is...? It looks very special."
“This is an object of our Eastern culture, commonly known as ‘copybook’, and ordinary people also like it very much.
It is a handwriting written by my father.
The content is"
Zhang Chengdao paused, "A house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy!"
When Zhang Xiao learned about the gift prepared by his father, his jaw almost dropped. This gift was so expensive!
But after thinking about it, I came back to my senses. For knowledgeable people, this copybook is indeed very precious, but for my family, it is just a calligraphy written by my father (grandpa), and it is not something too precious. .
And it is indeed unrealistic for you to ask Daomen to send you those tacky things. The copybook is just right.
Although Arthur didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, he was obviously very happy, or he had always been optimistic.
He took out the copybook with great interest. Although he couldn't understand it, he instinctively felt that it was not a cheap thing.
Of course, this simple wizard never cared about the price of the gift. Even if he gave a power strip, Arthur Weasley would be as happy as if he had received gold.
"Do Muggles like him too? That's great.
I have a lot of Muggle gadgets in my collection, like plugs, ahem, I mean, welcome to the Burrow, please come in! "
The two ladies fully respected their husbands and did not speak, but waited for them to finish their greetings.
Under the guidance of Arthur and Molly, the two families walked toward the house together. Arthur finally couldn't restrain his curiosity on the way.
He started to follow Zhang Chengdao excitedly to discuss the novel inventions of the Muggles, as well as the flying boat they took when they came.
".
Do Muggles still have so many types of plugs? Does electricity have different voltages?
It’s amazing how smart they are!
Oh my God! is that so? Boiler doesn't use electricity? Cars don’t run on electricity either? But I took it apart and there are wires inside! "
Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu looked at each other and smiled. They were indeed an interesting family.
