Chapter Fourteen: Fighting with Ziyu
"Your jade was also destroyed?" Xue Rou'er asked.
Those people were startled and looked at each other. The fat man who boasted about himself said: "Is yours also destroyed?"
Xue Rouer nodded and said: "Yes, maybe this was done by the judges to test our response to emergencies. You should not fight at the moment. You should think about how to repair the damaged jade to maximize its effectiveness.
value."
The eight men looked at each other in confusion for a while, and the fat man said: "Yes, I'm really ashamed. We are no better than a little girl who was provoked by others. Okay, let's all go back. Everyone's jade is damaged, so the competition is fair."
."
These words made everyone's anger dissipate. They all apologized to their roommates and went to study jade.
Yunu said: "Miss, let's have some snacks."
Xue Rou'er nodded and called to Ziyu: "Come and have something to eat too. Although meals are provided here at all times, the dry steamed buns are really unpalatable."
Ziyu was not polite and started eating after washing her hands.
After eating, the two started making again. Xue Rouer followed Ziyu's instructions and carved out the remaining three lotus leaves. Finally, she discovered a fatal flaw. The three lotus leaves could not be combined together. If they really looked like jade
The slave said that if you use glue, the value will be greatly reduced.
The jade slave also noticed this shortcoming and said: "Look, the slave is right. Now we can only use glue to stick it."
Xue Rou'er shook her head and said, "No, it will lose its value if it sticks." She cast her gaze on the destroyed lotus leaf, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "There is a way."
Even Ziyu was startled by this sound. She put down her work, walked over and said, "What can I do?"
Xue Rouer took the big lotus leaf and said: "Fortunately, I only carved one side. This side is flat and can be used as a base. Then I embedded these three pieces in it, as well as the bud. I just need to make a flower path to stand in the middle."
Already."
Ziyu frowned and said, "But the longest material you have left is only an inch, it's too short."
Xue Rouer nodded and said: "I have a way, don't worry."
Ziyu was startled and said, "Why am I anxious? It's better if you can't make it." After that, she went back to continue carving.
Xue Rou'er smiled, knowing that Ziyu was worried about her, but she was just being tough.
She carved a gap in the large lotus leaf and inserted three lotus leaves. The three lotus leaves restrained each other smoothly, but the flower buds were not harmonious no matter how they were placed, so they could only use the flower path about four inches long to bloom.
Come to show your beauty.
Xue Rou'er happily picked up the scraps and carved them, but Yu Nu's face was full of worry and said: "Miss, there is no flower path, it looks weird like this."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "I know, you will understand later."
She began to carefully cut the inch-long strip of jade, and after it turned into a cylinder of just the right thickness, she began to carve threads on the top. In this way, the three jade strips were carved, Xue Rouer twisted the three strips together, and then carefully
The trimming is done to make the seams fit as closely as possible to the point where they cannot be seen through at a glance.
The flower buds are also engraved with threads, and the flower buds and the base are fixed together, and the entire work is completed.
Surprise flashed in Ziyu's eyes, she came over to look at it for a moment and said, "Not bad, it's perfect."
Yunu also smiled and said: "These three lotus leaves have covered all the flaws in the lower one. I guess no one will take apart the three lotus leaves to see what's underneath."
Xue Rouer nodded and said, "Fortunately, it's finally done."
Ziyu returned to the table, looked at her white jade ring and two dice, and said, "What should I do with the points of these dice?" Although she was talking to herself, she was also asking for Xue Rou'er's opinion, but she was speaking harshly.
Don't want to say it directly.
Xue Rouer looked at it and said: "I have a few scraps here. I can cut them out and make some points. You might as well use them."
Ziyu said: "Does this count as a violation?"
Xue Rouer thought for a moment and said: "We are using the raw materials provided by the competition. Besides, no one said we can't borrow them from each other. It's okay."
Ziyu nodded, ground Xue Rouer's remaining scraps into small particles and embedded them into the dice. The two dice became exquisite and cute with the jade embellishment.
Yunu said: "Miss, why are you helping her?"
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "We are competing seriously and it has nothing to do with others."
Ziyu then remembered that she came to compete with Xue Rouer for Yuwen Mo, and she said: "Although you lend me something, I will never give brother Yuwen to you."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "I'm already married, so how can I compete with you for a man? Besides, Yu Wenmo already gave me a blood jade bracelet as a gift, but it was ruined by my jealous man."
Ziyu's face changed and she said, "What? My brother Yuwen almost risked his life to get that, and it was ruined!"
Xue Rou'er said: "There is no way, Ling Muran can't tolerate sand in his eyes."
Ziyu said angrily: "If I had known, I wouldn't have let him come to the capital."
Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Actually, Yu Wenmo and I are not destined to each other. Don't think blindly. This time I am really competing with you, not for him."
Ziyu felt a little embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "But Brother Yuwen only has you in his heart."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "If there is a chance to meet again, then I will advise him that it is a waste to leave such a beautiful and capable woman unmarried."
Ziyu's face turned red and she said: "Actually, I'm willing to give up compared to my ability. The things you chose are simply inferior, but you made such exquisite and artistic things. I feel inferior to you."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "It's good luck. Don't talk about this. How long will you live in the capital? I will take you to play after the game."
Ziyu said with some yearning: "Okay, but...if brother Yuwen goes back, I won't be able to stay too long."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "It's okay, let him stay for a few more days, and wait until sister has had enough fun with you before leaving."
Ziyu asked: "Then your husband will let you go out at will?"
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. No one in the Ling family dares to restrict my freedom. Besides, I also have property to take care of, so traveling is very convenient."
Yunu curled her lips and said: "You two are really weird. You didn't like each other yesterday, but today you call us sisters. But Ziyu girl seems to be older than my eldest lady, right?"
Xue Rouer glared at her and said, "Can't I just pretend to be cool?"
Ziyu smiled and said: "I am eighteen this year, and it is all because brother Yuwen is delaying the marriage. If I don't get married, no one will want me."
Just as he was talking, there was another sound of fighting outside. I don’t know why those men started to fight again. The door was opened by someone, and a teapot flew in and hit Xue Rouer’s jade, which was about to destroy both the jade and the stone.
