Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 213 Battle
"Okay, I'm so afraid of you!" It was not the people in the audience who reacted first, but the big fan master Mei Linjiang on the stage.

Although the age is over sixty, and the spirit is a little lacking, but this sentence is sonorous and forceful, "Even a woman is not afraid of you people from a small country like you, let alone a man?!"

"Cough..." Mu Zihua coughed, and glanced to the side from the corner of his eyes, which meant to remind Mei Linjiang that there was another one beside him!

Although people from a small country in a foreign country speak annoyingly, they can't overturn a boat of people with one blow!
Mei Linjiang ignored that, but turned to look at Lu Ding, "President Lu, what do you think? Do these clowns still use me?"

The implication is that there is no one in the guild now, don't bother him, an old man, right?

Lu Ding smiled wryly, and said lightly: "You two, um, Mr. Yamada and Mr. Li. Although my Daxia is a country of etiquette, I will never back down from provocateurs. However, our fan king conference is still going on these days. It's not over yet, if you compete with your country's fan masters at this time, it would be a bit of a mistake. How about this, please wait another ten days, and come back to fight against your country's fan masters after our conference is over? Is that good?!"

Although these words were spoken softly, there was no hint of cowardice.

Yamada Ichiro and Li Zaizheng looked at each other, exchanged glances, but nodded and said: "In this case, we will wait for ten days. At that time, please send the most outstanding fan master from your country."

"That's natural..." Lu Ding nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at the fan masters who entered the third round of the competition, and said in a deep voice: "Ten days later, the new fan king will replace Daxia in the battle against Gaoli and Dongying fan masters— —Everyone, although I, Lu Ding, am not talented, I have been in charge of the fan guild for more than ten sections. If I lose in the Great Xia this time, then Lu must resign and apologize..."

This has already been said very seriously, it can be seen that Lu Ding really takes this battle very seriously.

All the fan masters in the audience felt sorry for each other, swept away the previous commotion, and bowed in unison to salute, "I will do my best, and I will never fall into the prestige of my Great Xia..."

Caught in the middle, Gu Sixiao followed suit, with a surge of heat in his chest.

Before, she had never seriously thought about these things, but thought that she could take this opportunity to sneak into the palace and see Zheng Xuan's end with her own eyes, but at this moment, listening to the oath-like roars of the fan masters around her, she felt Excited like never before.

It was only ten short days, but Gu Sixiao had already prepared for it before.

In the past, she had also heard her brother mention the story of the Fan King Conference. Although the topic at this moment was not exactly the same as the original one, she had already made arrangements before.

Ever since Lin Mo Niang got married, she declined Lin Mo Niang's persuasion and moved away from the Lin family's other property. Now she lives in the house that Su Jingchun arranged early in the morning.

Although the house is not big and there are not many servants, but the people here are all trusted confidantes, and she doesn't need to be wary of anyone.

But, perhaps the biggest advantage is that Su Jingchun can take the opportunity to sneak in and have a private meeting with her.

When he came, Gu Sixiao was financing.

This time, she had planned early in the morning to make a Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan.

It was her elder brother's painstaking efforts. Although it caused disaster, she must let the Gu family's Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan be famous all over the world.

"This is to make Qibao Peach Blossom Fan?" Su Jingchun knew what she was going to do just after seeing Gu Sixiao's preparations.

"It's only ten days, it seems too late." Picking up the box on the side casually, his fingers slid over the gemstones in the box, and he frowned, "These gemstones are not the top-notch. The fan made this time, Presumably it is to be enshrined in the palace, and if the grade of the gemstone is not high enough, it will definitely affect the result—wait a minute..."

Before Gu Sixiao could speak, he had already turned and left.

In less than two hours, he turned back again and showed the vermilion lacquer box as if offering a treasure.

Opening the box and seeing the gems inside, even Gu Sixiao couldn't help being surprised.

Although Xue's family built a golden building, she has never seen these gems like Su Jingchun's.

"This, I'm afraid it's a tribute?"

"Well, I went to Prince Rui's Mansion." Su Jingchun didn't care, "Just for the 10 taels of gold that came in for you, what is this box of gems worth?"

Turning his head to think about it, Gu Sixiao also smiled, and without saying anything else, he turned around and concentrated on making money.

Although she knew how to make it, it was very difficult to actually do it.If she hadn't followed Xue Wenxue's craftsmanship at Xue's house, she would not have been able to make this Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan at all.

Just like what Su Jingchun said, time is too tight.

Gu Sixiao stayed up all night to catch up, but still felt that the time was extremely tight.

On the ninth night, she just finished the last process, and she was exhausted and paralyzed. She put the Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan in the box, and she didn't even have the strength to go back to bed, so she just fell asleep on the table.

Dimly, she felt that someone picked her up and put her gently on the bed.

Although she didn't open her eyes, the feeling of reassurance made her vaguely know who was holding her.

Without even opening his eyes, he just rubbed his head in the other's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I woke up in bed.

The doors and windows were closed tightly, and there was no sign of anyone coming, but on the box where she kept the Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan, there was a bunch of white jasmine with dewdrops on it.

Picking up the bunch of flowers, Gu Sixiao leaned close to the tip of her nose, only to feel the sweet fragrance, which made people feel intoxicated.

In the last round, Gu Sixiao relaxed instead.

She has already come and participated. If God is merciful, she will be allowed to pass. If not, then she can only admit it.

This time, it was not in the previous two court competitions.

But in the fan guild.

The remaining ten fan masters stood tall, holding red lacquer boxes in their hands.

When the steward called, he stepped forward, put the red lacquer box in his hand on the case, and explained to several judges that his fan was good at this place, where it was beautiful, and where it was so clever.

Gu Sixiao was last in line, but she took advantage of it. Several fan masters before her stepped forward one after another, but for a few of them, she had already seen double-sided embroidered fans, jade fans, and golden fans...

"Everyone, what I made is a Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Sixiao looked up in astonishment, only to see a fan master open the fan box, and as expected, what he took out was a round fan.Although I didn't look carefully enough, it was indeed a Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan.

His eyes flickered, and Gu Sixiao unconsciously turned his gaze to Luo Ziying, who was watching the battle from the sidelines.

Coincidentally, the fan teacher also turned his attention to Luo Ziying.

Seeing Luo Ziying's smug smile, Gu Sixiao immediately knew that Luo Ziying had come up with the idea.

Luo Ziying made fake Qibao Peach Blossom Fans before and sold them, but now they are imitation fans...

Turning her gaze, Gu Sixiao, who was the last to appear, looked at the Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan on the table beside her, her heart beating wildly.

That's not an imitation, it's the Seven Treasures Peach Blossom Fan that big brother made.

It seems that Luo Ziying had already prepared and brought the real fan that was originally in the store.

It should have been intended to be used by myself, but since I was not selected, I lent this fan to someone else.

His eyes flickered, and Gu Sixiao couldn't tell what it was like.

Opening the fan box, she calmed down as much as possible, held the fan in her hand, and said in a flat voice: "What I made is also a Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan..."

As soon as she spoke, there were murmurs all around.

Gu Sixiao didn't even blink his eyes as if he didn't hear it, "Everyone knows that the Seven Treasures Peach Blossom Fan was created by Gu's Liubai. The Seven Treasures Peach Blossom Fan I made was created by Gu Liubai. That one has been slightly processed, everyone, please look, this fan uses jade as the handle, gold and silver as the bones, inlaid with seven precious stones, and painted with spring peach blossoms inside, it is not only extremely exquisite, but also very valuable..."

She calmly finished explaining the peach blossom fan in her hand, gave a salute, and quietly backed away.

The eight judges stepped forward and carefully tasted the ten fans signed on the case.

And the fan masters watching the battle next to them can also come forward to judge the lottery at this time, but they can't get to the front after all.

Luo Ziying swayed forward, shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking at Gu Sixiao, and said with a smile: "Don't feel wronged by the loss, no matter how good your fan is, it still lacks skill after all."

Gu Sixiao smiled slightly, but did not speak, Luo Ziying only thought she was at a loss for words, and laughed triumphantly, looking left and right, but not looking at Gu Sixiao, as if she had become transparent.

Not feeling angry, Gu Sixiao stood quietly, listening to the judges' comments on the stage, "These ten fans each have their own merits, but in terms of exquisiteness and ingenuity, we should recommend the Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan. The two peach blossom fans are both excellent. Well, the gemstones used by Gu's are even more valuable, but in terms of workmanship, Ma's is even better, so..."

"Wait a moment!"

Gu Sixiao suddenly made a sound, and Lu Ding, who was talking, frowned unconsciously, and looked at Gu Sixiao with a bit of displeasure.

Gu Sixiao didn't seem to feel anything, stood up with a smile, and said: "President Lu, I admit that the workmanship of the peach blossom fan that Mrs. Ma took out is really exquisite, and it should be number one!"

With a pale face, Lu Ding said calmly: "Since that's the case, is there any objection to you?"

"Of course I don't accept it!" Gu Sixiao smiled slightly, her voice did not raise her voice deliberately, "Although the peach blossom fan is a coincidence, it is not made by Ma Shi, even if this peach blossom fan is rated as the first, it cannot be Ma Shi who took the fan king."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ma's fan master yelled loudly, "Why, you can make a Seven Treasure Peach Blossom Fan, but we Ma can't? Little girl, don't you think too highly of yourself?"

"It's not that I think highly of myself, but that your eyes are too clumsy." Gu Sixiao smiled lightly and said in a flat voice: "President Lu, this peach blossom fan is not made by the Ma family, but by the Gu family ——I didn’t say this nonsense!”

Going forward, she tapped lightly with her finger, "All the fans produced by Gu's are marked. Just look for the word 'Gu' engraved on the handle, and you will know whether I am telling the truth or not."

Hearing what she said, everyone was puzzled, but Fan Master Ma and Luo Ziying breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just look at it, what's there?" Ma's fan master stepped forward, holding the round fan, and asked everyone to look at the handle carefully, "Look, is there a word 'Gu' here?"

"Sure enough, there is no..." Someone whispered, looking at Gu Sixiao with the meaning of watching the excitement.

This little girl talks nonsense, but she's going to be slapped in the face, right?
