Chapter 31 Overcome!
"Treasure Selection Conference?" Bai Wei looked puzzled.
Bai Qifu stared at the doctor and answered Bai Wei, "The treasure selection conference will be held in the county town every three years. The jade appraiser will determine whether he can run for the election. Finally, he sold the most valuable jade artifact and won the title of leader."
Bai Wei frowned, "Isn't there any moisture in this way?"
If someone speculates at a high price and buys it by himself, he will win the top spot.
The doctor laughed and said, "Little girl, this is not fake. The VIPs who accepted the invitation to participate in the treasure selection conference are all people with background and background, and have the ability to appreciate jade. The organizer will also invite the appraisers to vote and comprehensively evaluate. In previous years, the works with the highest votes were sold at the highest price, and they are expected to be the most popular. If you want to stay in this jade circle, you will abide by the rules and will not break the rules."
As for the rules, the doctor kept silent.
Bai Qifu didn't know much, and looked at Bai Wei lovingly, "You learn from your master carefully, and you can participate in the next treasure selection conference, and you will know their rules."
Baoyuan Fucheng is rich in jade and should be rich, but there is no outstanding jade carvers. The jade produced by the mine veins is controlled by the two major families in the adjacent Fucheng. Baoyuan Fucheng was banned and was named "The Capital of Jade". It was highly valued by the imperial court. All the prefects of all their term of office returned to Beijing to recuperate.
The prefect of Baoyuan Prefecture City has been re-elected for more than ten years. Seeing his colleagues next door walking wave after wave, he was so anxious that his head was bald. Just as the palace jade craftsman Duan Luochun returned to his hometown to recuperate, the prefect came to visit him in person. After the two discussed, they would have a treasure election conference. The top three were brought to Duan Luochun. If they passed the assessment, they would be included in the subordinates.
It is related to the promotion of the prefect, and there is another great Buddha guarding him. Who dares to operate in secret?
Bai Yuyan studied with Duan Luochun for a year and made the Bai family jade shop very prosperous.
She naturally knew Duan Luochun’s true skills, and also knew that Bai Wei was very popular back then, and Duan Luochun admired her. She accepted her as a disciple who had closed down and taught her life’s unique skills to Bai Wei.
She also used Bai Wei's works that first became famous in her previous life to become the leader, but Duan Luochun said that she was impetuous and eager for quick success and instant benefits, and was not satisfied.
This time I went to Fucheng, one was to visit Duan Luochun, and the other was to select the raw stones to the stone yard.
Bai Yuyan was preparing to carve Bai Wei's famous works in the capital, making Duan Luochun look at her with admiration and take her as a closed disciple!
She invited, "Sister, if you are really curious, I will take you to see the world this time. When you participate in the competition in the future, you will know what you want." Let you see with your own eyes how I can use your works to become famous in Baoyuan City and even the entire Xiyue Kingdom.
Bai Wei had an imperial green piece, and she was determined to run for the election, but she didn't show any sign of her face. "Okay, thank you second sister first!" She looked at Bai Yuyan's right hand, "Second sister, my father's hand has been pricked, let the doctor show you his hands, don't delay the treatment."
Bai Yuyan's hands were very painful, and she didn't know the specific situation. She came here not to treat her hands, but to know if Bai Qifu's hands could be cured.
Now there is no news, she doesn't want to stay too much, "No need, my hand is just abrasive, and let the maid apply the wound medicine to heal in two days."
Bai Wei didn't force her, she had other things, so it was not convenient for her to bring Bai Yuyan.
Bai Yuyan bid farewell to Bai Qifu and Bai Wei. She went to the largest clinic in the county and asked the doctor to see the injury.
"Girl, your right hand has damaged your muscles and bones. You can't use force or do heavy work in the past two months." The doctor checked his injuries and asked the doctor to apply medicinal wine to the bruises and damage.
Bai Yuyan's face changed drastically. She had less than two months into the treasure selection conference. She was injured by her hand. How could she carve jade artifacts to participate in the treasure selection conference?
She said anxiously: "Is there any way to get better faster?"
"There is no other way to hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days." The doctor shook his head and let Bai Yuyan slowly take care of her.
Bai Yuyan was about to bite off her teeth in one mouthful, and she hated Bai Wei more and more!
——
After Bai Qifu's hand was pricked, he had to prick once a day. It was inconvenient to go back and forth. Bai Wei thought about it and asked the doctor to write down the acupoints to be prived and took them back to ask Doctor Liu to prick the father Bai.
Bai Qifu started to do something, and a smile appeared on the corners of his eyes, "Girl, after the injection, this hand doesn't hurt much."
"This is a good sign, and it will definitely be cured. Then, why should the father and daughter participate in the treasure selection conference together!" Bai Wei carried a basket on her back, and she smiled rarely on her face, looking at the busy streets: "Dad, I want to give it a try this year."
Bai Qifu was stunned, looking at Bai Wei tilting her face slightly, the warm sun shining on her face, her smile brightly, calmly and confident. She turned her head, her firm eyes full of enthusiasm for life, which was the vigorous vitality that a little girl should have.
He smiled slightly, unable to bear to refuse, "Okay."
"I'll give it a try, just treat it as seeing the world. Maybe I'll be lucky and have I won the ranking?"
Bai Qifu smiled when he heard this, "You are still young, so it's better to see more." Then, he led the way in front.
Bai Wei held the bamboo basket strap with her fingers and followed Bai Qifu to the "Tian Gong Union".
The name of the Tiangong Union is taken from "Quick and Destiny".
The Tiangong Union is actually an ancient jade shop with only a gray-haired old man lying in a bamboo recliner, holding a jade ring in his hand to enjoy it.
Hearing the movement, he looked sideways, his turbid eyes narrowed slightly to Bai Wei and Bai Qifu, and sat up, "Register? Or participate in a stone tool or a jade tool? If it is a jade tool, do you have high-quality jade?"
Bai Wei quickly put down the bamboo basket and took out the imperial green, "Old sir, I'll take this to participate in the competition."
The old man's eyes lit up, he held the raw stone in his hand, took an agate stick and hit it, and a crisp and pleasant sound like a wind chime came out. "Miss, this piece of jade is a good jade. Don't waste it, you might as well sell it to me at a price!"
Bai Wei politely declined and took the stone back, "Old sir, I want to give it a try regardless of success or failure, and leave no regrets."
The old man stared at Bai Wei angrily, "Little girl, Bai Yuyan is an example. Not everyone has her open mind and can carve strange jade. You can temper it for a few more years and carve this piece of jade carefully."
Bai Wei smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr., I have decided."
The old man looked at the piece of imperial green jade in Bai Wei's hand with heartache. He couldn't do anything about her and signed up for her angrily.
"On the first day of December, remember the day." Lao I was still a little unwilling to accept it, "Isn't you really going to sell it?"
Bai Wei's thoughts moved, "How much money did you pay?"
The old man quickly compared two fingers, "I am a man who cherishes jade, I will give you two hundred taels!"
"Thank you, sir, I won't sell it." Bai Wei looked at the old man with a red face and a thick neck, as if she saw his grandfather's shadow, and said with a smile on her lips: "If you really like it, you can take it down at the treasure selection conference."
The old man was so angry that he took a few quick turns around the room, and said to Bai Wei's figure who was away, "Overbial power!"
——
Bai Wei and Bai Qifu returned to the village.
She took Qiao Yaxin's account to Gu Shi'an.
If he hadn't been making trouble in Qiao Yaxin's ear, Qiao Yaxin wouldn't have targeted her for no reason!
Moreover, Gu Shian is a villain and a hypocrite. If he becomes an official, he will be a threat to his elder brother.
After finding a witness to prove that Gu Shi'an murdered her, he was unable to take the scientific examination.
Bai Wei made up her mind and went to Li Zheng and asked him to ask. On the evening of September 15th, someone picked up a silver hairpin in the east end of the village. When she returned it to her, she would give her ten taels of silver to repay. She could get five cents when she saw who picked it up or who saw who passed by that place, and who came to Li Zheng to report the news.
If you really witnessed Gu Shi'an pushing Bai Wei, you will know Bai Wei's real intention when you hear this news.
Before, Bai Wei didn't look for witnesses. It was because Gu Shi'an had a good reputation in the village and no one dared to offend him. Now it's different.
As soon as the news came out, it reached Gu Shi'an's ears, and he immediately knew Bai Wei's intentions.
His face suddenly became gloomy. He thought carefully that when he held a banquet that day, most of his homes came to his house to congratulate him. He came back from the field early, and no one would appear in the field.
But he was inexplicably panicked. If Bai Wei didn't die, things would not end easily.
