Yuzhu's words made Chang Man and Jue'er feel relieved. After everyone finished cutting the stone, they began to enter the stage of carving the jade, but the score officials would count the score according to the completeness after cutting the stone, and then uniformly score according to the shape of the finished product. In other words, at the beginning of the competition, the group of Yuzhu had already fallen behind.

Because he was on the high platform, Yao Muye did not see clearly the good or bad of the stones that Yuzhu and the others opened. In fact, his brows were furrowing, but something else was frustrated.

Because he clearly saw that Yuzhu actually took off the bamboo board by himself, and began to carve the jade with his right hand that had not yet recovered.

This little woman! She is so competitive! She was so good at painting in a tea banquet yesterday, but now she is getting worse! Could it be that she doesn't want her right hand for such an insignificant competition?

Stupid woman too!

Thinking of this, the expression became more and more concentrating. He wanted to stop the event, but he felt that if he did this, he would probably not let the young woman appreciate it. In front of his friends, he seemed to care too much about the woman...

Just then, Lord Fan noticed that the Taiwei seemed unhappy, and hurried over and asked in a low voice: "Master Taiwei, but I think there is something wrong with this schedule?"

Yao Muye didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he spoke, "How is that woman's behavior?"

Fan Qingyun looked in the direction of his eyes and saw the jade bead. He was shocked and humbly lowered his head and said, "It seems that the stone is not smooth, and the lower official vaguely saw that the jade seems to be cracked."

Hearing this, Yao Muye's face calmed down a little, and asked again: "If the jade cracks, will he have a chance to advance?"

Fan Qingyun hesitated for a moment, but he really couldn't figure out what the Taiwei was saying at this time, so he left room for both ends and said, "The jade cracked, so the average score would be deducted... It was probably a bit behind, but if the jade was carved very exquisitely, there was still a chance to turn it over."

Yao Muye was already lazy to look at jade at this time, and lowered his eyes and said, "Mr. Fan is going to select jade-carving talents for the emperor this time. Don't let people with poor skills get into the eyes of the emperor."

After saying this, Yao Muye whispered to Fan Qingyun a few more words, then complained to King Guangjun and others, "If you have something to do, you should take the lead", and then got up and left.

Fan Qingyun hurriedly sent Taiwei Yao out of the schoolyard. But he was still thinking about the Taiwei's meaning. Judging from the Taiwei's meaning, it was not allowed to advance to anyone with flaws in the jade... But why did the Taiwei point only at Yuan Yuzhu? Did the two of them look similar?

Fan Qingyun's face was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but look up at the woman who was concentrating on carving. Her jade material was the inferior material he instructed the officials below to select and place. There was no hope of promotion. However, his original intention was that he did not want her to enter the palace to see the emperor... Such a beautiful appearance, once he had become a holy word... but he did not expect that she seemed to have known the Taiwei long ago.

Fan Qingyun didn't think much, but just quickly returned to the high platform. Although the Taiwei had left early, there were still many VIP guests on the high platform, and no one could be neglected.

So Lord Fan smiled warmly again and greeted a group of distinguished guests on the platform cordially...

According to the rules of the event, after cutting the materials, when carving the jade according to the size of the jade material, do not waste the jade material too much. If there is too much left, you will also need to reduce the amount.

Therefore, the experts who broke the jade were all worried about how to use these scattered jade materials to the greatest extent possible to carve a complete finished product.

The situation on the jade bead is slightly better, which is due to Changman's skillful spirit of opening stones, which did not completely shake the jade open. Although there was a crack, it was still connected.

Yuzhu thought for a while and decided to use it to carve his best portrait. In the jade carving industry, there are basically four types: ladies, elderly people, Buddha statues, and boys.

But Yuzhu abandoned these four categories and carved a sculpture of a general of horses. Half of the jade was a horse flying in a hurry, while the other half was a majestic general. However, the general seemed to have just jumped up on the horse's back, whipped around the horse's belly, and then fell back on the horse's back. Only one leg was hooked on the horse's back, and his whole body was hanging on the side of the horse's back.

When Changman saw the jade beads carved out the general outline of the jade carving, he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart and whispered: "Miss, you are really a god!"

The originally irreparable crack was completely covered by the exquisite design of the jade bead. Instead, it made the general's heroic posture of flipping and soaring on the horse's back. The barely connected point, the carved thighs in long boots, connected the two pieces of jade that were originally about to fly away in one place.

The jade craftsmen on the side stopped their work and looked at the weak little woman in surprise.

You should know that this design is exquisite, but what jade craftsmen admire most is the perfect sense of exquisite balance. In the jade carving industry, the portrait of the portrait is very particular. If the carved portrait cannot be placed upright, it is a waste. After all, no one wants a tumbler made of jade.

However, the statue of Yuzhu abandoned Zhou Zheng's roots, and the characters formed a strange angle with the horse. If the estimate is not thoughtful, it is easy to place the statue and turn it over, and all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Now, after the girl carved the rough outline of the jade carving, the statue stood steadily on the table without a trace of shaking. Its exquisite balance is comparable to the Han Dynasty bronze carving horse pedaling on a flying falcon!

Which famous master is this? He is so amazing at such a young age?

For a moment, the pressure in everyone's hearts dared to increase sharply, so they even stepped up the sculptures in their hands to prevent them from falling too slowly.

After the jade bead was finished carving the big picture, he felt a soreness in his right hand that he had not used for a long time, so he leaned against the chopping board to slowly relieve the acid and fatigue.

Because this event does not examine fine carving and polishing, the craftsmen have stopped after completing the rough carving.

Then, officials and experts who commented on jade carvings entered the venue to inspect them.

There are three officials who commented this time. In addition to Fan Qingyun, there are also the new head of the internal supervisor, Mr. Liu, and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Needless to say, the statues of Fan Qingyun's masters are skillful and well-used, so they can't get too many problems at the moment. In addition, there are no accidents when cutting the materials, and it is almost certain to pass the first test.

Some of the other craftsmen racked their brains to splice the broken jade into a complete finished product, but their intentions were a bit far-fetched and they were inferior. Some people had no hope of upgrading because they had too much waste.

As for the Meng couple, they were lucky. They got a complete piece of jade, but because of the many flaws in their ability, the couple did not know how to avoid these flaws. They did not see spirituality in their design. They were criticized by Weng Laoshen as a craftsmanship work. Seeing that Weng Laoshen was such a attitude, the other two were also following the flow and unanimously praised it for the lower grade. The Xiao Mansion was not easy to squeeze into the finals and was also eliminated.

After commenting along the way, the three judges had a consistent opinion and were very harmonious.

But when they arrived in front of Yuzhu's desk, the three of them had a disagreement.

Lord Liu meant that the jade-like object was warm, but the woman used this spiritual object to carve a portrait full of murderous aura, which violated the original intention of the beautiful jade and should be rated as a low-quality one.

But Mr. Weng believes that a gentleman can be as gentle as jade on weekdays, and he should be drunk on the battlefield when defending his country and show a heroic spirit. This jade girl carved such a gentleman, whose lofty intentions are really admired by us, not to mention that the design is exquisite and the carving is excellent, and it should be rated as the best!

For a moment, the two adults had a dispute, each with their own reasons and refused to give in to each other.

Mr. Fan was caught in the middle and was in trouble for a moment. He just looked at Yuzhu apologetically and said to her: "You are really thinking about how to design the cracked jade. You will definitely achieve something during the holidays. However, this jade carving competition is the best choice for the emperor to select jade carvings. You are still a little lacking in basic skills in opening stones. If you just blindly encourage the growth and make you pass the test, it will harm you... I have to judge the emperor with all my heart and impartiality. You... need to learn more!"

After saying the earnest teachings of such elders, he also agreed with Lord Liu's opinion and gave Yuzhu a low-quality evaluation.

Seeing this, Mr. Weng was very frustrated and it was useless to argue hard. After all, there were three judges, so he naturally had to obey the opinions of the crowd.

Yuzhu had a plain face, but after paying solemnly to Mr. Weng who tried his best to speak well for him, he bowed to the two adults.

After a gift, he watched the three of them continue to walk over to comment on the next one.

The results of the event will not be announced on the same day, but from the comments of the three adults and the results of their previous stone cutting, everyone can predict the results of this event. Most people walked out of the arena with dark clouds on their faces.

Jue'er and Chang Man were also very worried and whispered: "What should I do if I fail the first round?"

Yuzhu adjusted her mood and rubbed her sore right arm and said, "I have done my best, and the rest have obeyed the destiny. Today, you have worked hard, and you will have to eat some good food at night. The food in Qingmeilou in the capital is very beautiful. We will go there to have a full meal later."

Qingmeilou is a famous restaurant in the capital. It uses scattered fish fillets and white meat casserole as its signature main dishes. By noon, it was crowded.

Jue'er and Changman actually had no appetite, so they walked around the street market with Yuzhu for a while, took the meal time, and when the night was low, they went into the restaurant to order food.

Yuzhu chose a private room, and after ordering a table for the guards accompanying him in the outhouse hall, he started having dinner with Chang Man and Jue'er.

To be fair, the dishes are very beautiful. The fragrant stew used in the fish fillet is made of fragrant stew, old wine, and osmanthus braised rice. A piece of fish fillet is smooth and tender, fresh and sweet, and the aroma is full of fragrance.

In the white meat in the casserole, in addition to the fresh pork cut into thin slices, there are also stewed vegetables, which are dipped in the paste, and are delicious.

Changman and Jue'er have a little bit of a child's character. Once they eat well, they will forget most of the unhappiness during the day.

After Yuzhu ate a few fish fillets, she kept smiling and watching them not moving.

When they were about to finish their meal, Yuzhu called the waiter to pay the bill. It turned out that it needed seven taels of silver. Jue'er was startled and couldn't help but burp and hurriedly said, "But you think it's wrong? Why are we so cheap? We didn't order too many dishes!"

The waiter said with a good temper: "Of course you guys don't have more, but those outside the house ordered a jar of good aged wine. Just a jar of wine costs five taels of silver. This lady, how can we, who are in the capital, open the door to do business, and do things like black shops?"

Yuzhu said, "Since that's right, give the money quickly."

But Jue'er covered her purse and frowned: "Miss! Since it's their drinks, let them pay for their own money! They have to take care of their food and drink all day long... The cost of the capital is too great, and our money is almost insufficient!"

At this moment, the curtain at the door was lifted up. Yao Muye walked into the private room with great strides.

The shopkeeper couldn't recognize Taiwei Yao, so he nodded and said, "Why did the Taiwei enter this house? There is a good room on the upper floor. Please ask the upstairs."

But Taiwei Yao only said lightly: "Put their accounts in Yao's mansion and settle them together..."

It turns out that the children of high schools in Beijing often do not bring money and other things like this. They are all paid by attendants. Sometimes they are interested. When they don’t even take servants, they usually keep accounts and sign their names when they go to restaurants. At the end of the month, the shop assistants will go to various residences to settle the money. At that time, the shop assistants will also give the servants a lot of errands fee. Therefore, the hotel guys love to give these noble people a credit.

When the waiter smiled and left the house, Yao Muye waved his hand and signaled Chang Man and Jue'er to go out.

Then he sat next to Yuzhu, touched her arm and said, "Are you tired today?"

Yuzhu shook her head and said, "It's okay."

Yao Muye poured a cup of tea and said lightly: "I don't sort out the money on weekdays, but I ignore it for a while. Those guards are very slutty and actually ask you to pay. I will ask Jinshu to send you silver notes tomorrow, so that you can avoid your financial difficulties."

Yuzhu hurriedly said, "Those guards have been rushing to pay the bills. Yuzhu insisted not to use it. He asked the Grand Marshal not to blame them. Jue'er was young and stingy, and his stingy words fell into your ears. Please don't take them to heart."

After hearing this, Yao Muye felt a sense of bad feelings in his heart. According to her intention, he had never spent any of his own since he entered Beijing?

If it were the noble girl he had been with before, he would naturally not pay attention to such trivial expenses. Both sides pursue the elegance of getting along, how could money be ruined?

But this young woman was originally coaxed and driven out by the Xiao family in disguise. She probably didn't have much money on her, but she never asked for help from her. Such opinions are really hard to be happy.

So he thought for a while and said, "What is the basis for you, a woman? Why are you polite to those soldiers who are rich in wealth? Anyway, the competition has been completed and I will go back to the suburbs of Beijing tomorrow. You don't have to work hard for the food, clothing and expenses in the future."

Yuzhu whispered: "Since the competition has been completed, Yuzhu does not plan to stay in the capital. At that time, he will say goodbye to the Taiwei. Please don't be too polite to ask the Taiwei."

Yao Muye could have suppressed his displeasure, but after hearing Yuzhu's unhappiness, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed and he said coldly: "Miss Six is ​​free and easy, so he can come and go freely? Why is it because the competition has not been passed, so he can't use this to threaten the lower party?"

Yuzhu couldn't help but frowned slightly. She was afraid that she would owe too much to the Grand Marshal. How could she control him when she was careful everywhere?

I remember not paying attention to when he left during the game, but halfway through the game, I did not see him again. I thought he didn't know the result, but why is he in his words like this now?
Chapter completed!
