Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 215 White Fan
On the school ground in the north of the city, there was a sea of ​​people, and it was as lively as a New Year's market. Not only were there many people around, but there were also many hawkers carrying baskets selling snacks, squeezing through the crowd.

There were those who just came to join in the fun, and didn't even know what to do here. They squeezed into the crowd and kept asking the people in front of them: "What's the matter? What's going on here? What happened? These people What is it for? Why are they all gathered here? Are they going to chop off people’s heads here? Or is there a Cuju match?"

You must know that ordinary people are not allowed to enter places like the North School Field.

Let people in to watch the fun, one is the mass questioning and beheading of criminals after autumn, and the other is there is a Cuju competition.That's why people who followed the crowd to join in the fun asked this question.

"Go, go, you're only looking at beheading! Let me tell you, this is not Cuju, but fan-making!"

"Fan making? What's the point of that? These business people are getting more and more troublesome." The man "tssed" and said, "What kind of fan king meeting is that? The North Campus is here, it’s really a lot of money to do weird things.”

"What do you know? Can you enter this North Campus if you have money? Let me tell you, there are nobles from the palace here..."

The person in front was not happy, turned around and yelled, "This is not a fan king competition, but the new fan king against the fan masters from Korea and Dongying. Do something!"

After being reprimanded by the people in front, the spectators also became interested, "Fighting against Korea and Japan? You have to watch this, isn't it the same as Ju Sai! Cut their limelight, see if they dare to make trouble? Come on, come on, Rang, let me walk inside..."

The crowd was really too crowded, the men who were watching the fun squeezed their way past and got a lot of stares before they finally got a good seat.

"Fan King? Where is it? Ah, that old man with the white beard?"

The person who was stepped on by him just rolled his eyes at him, "No wonder, it turns out that the eyesight is not good. Didn't you see the little lady in front? That's the fan king!"

"What? That little lady is the fan king?!"

Staring at the little lady in white who was sitting behind the desk, the man was really dumbfounded.

This good-looking little lady, which lady should she be? How could she be the fan king? !

He could hear the commotion outside the arena, but Gu Sixiao still sat still, as if he didn't hear anything at all.

Looking at the two middle-aged men opposite, his eyes were as calm as an ancient well, without any fluctuations.

The two fan masters on the opposite side originally showed contempt, but after sitting with Gu Sixiao for a while, they gradually put away their contempt.

"I am a Korean white fan, and the most important thing is quality, not those flashy things. So this time, I think it is better not to make those flashy things. Simple and unpretentious is the real thing."

After Gaoli Fan Master finished speaking, Dongying Fan Master followed suit: "Well, I think Master Zhu is right, the truth is simplicity and unpretentiousness, and today we are going to restore the true meaning of the white fan, so it is better to avoid those fancy things."

The two fan masters sang together, but Da Xia fan master behind Gu Sixiao was a little anxious.

There is no such thing as a white fan for Daxia folding fans. To Zhongtu fan masters, a white fan is an unfinished folding fan. Can a folding fan without a painted surface be considered a good fan? !
Moreover, after the fan king meeting, everyone knew that their new fan king was best at fan art. If he couldn't draw fan art, wouldn't he be doomed?
Lu Ding was also anxious, but he kept reassuring himself: "It's okay, it's okay, there is still Master Mei!"

"Simple and unpretentious? Well, a white fan is a white fan. Since the two fan masters have said so, I will accompany you both."

With a look on his face, the Zhu fan master turned his head to look at Dongying's fan master, "Yamada-kun, today we will compete against each other."

Between the words, he didn't regard Gu Sixiao as an opponent at all.

No matter in the audience or off the court, they all showed no anger, and some even booed.

There are also worries that the new fan king on stage is not enough for the other party to look at.

"It's no wonder that the people of the small country in this country look down on you so much. Why did you choose such a young lady to be the fan king? This is really inappropriate."

Those who watched the excitement outside the arena said it was wrong, but the high incense timer was already lit on the stage.

The Sanfang fan masters descended from the high stage and entered the work sheds set up under the stage one after another.

Slowly following behind Gu Sixiao, Mei Linjiang looked at the various materials displayed on both sides, and asked lightly: "Huaer, what material do you want to use? Well, there is sandalwood here. I think it is better to use sandalwood as the fan bone." alright."

Stroking his beard, he said with a smile: "The Koreans and the Dongying population keep saying that it is true to be simple and unpretentious, but I think they will definitely choose the best material to make fans, and they will never use ordinary bamboo to make fan bones. The people of these small countries are the most cunning."

Looking away, Gu Sixiao pondered for a moment, and still chose bamboo, "For folding fans, the best ribs are bamboo. Whether it is sandalwood, jade, or any other material, it is not as good as the bamboo fan ribs—white fan ?!"

The corners of her lips curled up, as if she had thought of some idea, her eyes were full of sly brilliance.

Seeing her expression, Mei Linjiang smiled, and stopped trying to persuade her.Instead, he turned around and sat on the chair beside him, closing his eyes and seductively, not caring about anything.

All the fan masters who were watching the progress on the field were very angry. If they hadn't been unable to enter the work shed, they would have rushed in to shake the old man awake.

What time is this, still asleep, what if you really lose?
Those fan masters were very anxious, but Gu Sixiao didn't feel it. After taking the bamboo, he chopped and cut the bamboo seriously. I'm about to cry.

Looking at this movement, it is clear that she wants to make a bamboo fan, and she is learning to be the most common bamboo fan. Is this little lady planning to admit defeat just like that?
All the fan masters looked more and more cold-hearted, but Gu Sixiao was heartless. After finishing the fan, he turned around and went to mix the paint.

A group of fan masters really stared wide-eyed.

Did this little lady forget that they are comparing white fans, they can't draw fans!

"I lost, I lost..." Someone patted his head and muttered.

Even Lu Ding darkened his face and motioned the people next to him to call Mei Linjiang.

Manager Li coughed, and moved closer to the work shed. Although he couldn't go in, he called outside: "Mr. Mei, Mr. Mei..."

Called several times, but there was no response, but a slight sound was heard instead.

Li Guanshi's face turned pale. He turned his head and looked at Lu Ding. He shook his head slowly and called Gu Sixiao.

"Little lady, little lady,"

Fortunately, Gu Sixiao still looked back at him, Li Guanshi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "You can't draw fans! You forgot..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Sixiao had already turned her head away.

Someone behind the fan master said in a low voice: "I just said that you can't put this burden on a woman. Look, look, she is also worthy of being a fan king..."

There were whispers in the field, like mosquitoes and flies buzzing, but Gu Sixiao didn't seem to hear anything, and concentrated on drawing the fan in his hand.

Time passed quickly, and two hours passed just like that, and the sun above had risen to the center of the sky.

The high incense that was changed to the fifth root finally burned out, and the Sanfang fan master finally made it, but the judges never showed up.

The spectators were wondering, when they suddenly heard someone report from a distance: "His Royal Highness has arrived——"

The sound came one after another, and the people who had been watching the excitement were also taken aback.

It was said that it was a nobleman from the palace, but it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Ignoring the sight of the approaching car, the people onlookers knelt down one after another, shouting a thousand years in unison.

Gu Sixiao also knelt down in front of the stage with everyone, but couldn't help but peek over.

He just lowered his head halfway, so he couldn't see his face clearly, only a bright yellow corner of his robe was visible.

"Get up! Today I will be a judge with the two envoys, and we want to see which fan master wins today."

But it doesn't mention the Three Kingdoms dispute, only mentions individuals.

From the voice, the prince should be a middle-aged man.

Gu Sixiao got up, followed the other two fan masters, took a peek, and realized that the prince should be over forty years old, older than Prince Rui, also looks fatter, his eyes are not too big, But it was gloomy, without half a spirit.

The envoys of the two countries who made a big fan meeting that day sat beside the prince, and after that, some officials in official uniforms.

At first glance, Gu Sixiao didn't know what kind of officials they were, but he thought they must be officials who were close to the prince.

Without competing with the fan masters from Korea and Dongying, Gu Sixiao stood in the last place.

Sure enough, as Mei Linjiang expected, the two fan masters did not choose ordinary bamboo as the fan bone like Gu Sixiao did.

"Your Highness, please take a look. The foreign ministers use the best sandalwood. The white fan made is not only exquisite, but also has a light and elegant fragrance. The fragrance of Buddha is wafting, as if you are in a land of heavenly fragrance..."

This is the red fan master of Goryeo. When he spoke, he puffed up his chest, looking very proud.

Dongying Fan Master didn't let him do anything, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, what I use is neither wood nor bamboo, nor gold, stone and jade, but bones."

"Bones?" Many people were surprised.

Yamada was even more pleased, "Your Highness, you should know that ambergris is the best fragrance in the world. And the bones I use come from the same place as this ambergris, and they are carved from the bones of big fish in the sea. It has a strange fragrance, not to mention, and this big fish is the Kun in the legend of the Middle Earth. It uses the Kun bones as a fan to take the wind from the heaven and the earth. Only the true man can use this fan-the minister is willing to present this fan Your Highness..."

"Okay——" the prince clapped his hands and praised loudly. He didn't know whether it was the fan made by Yamada or what he said.

"Cough..." Behind the prince, a person coughed lightly.

Although the voice was very soft, the prince immediately restrained his smile and said seriously: "Another fan master——"

His eyes fell on Gu Sixiao, even the well-informed prince couldn't help being slightly taken aback, "Are you this year's fan king?"

"Your Highness, the girl is right." She answered softly, but Gu Sixiao's hand hidden under the tray was tightly squeezed.

It was the person in front of her, a single letter had ruined her brother's life and ruined her family.

Even the girl's biological father died because of him. At a young age, she was reduced to the streets and became a beggar.

Apart from them, how many other people have ruined their lives because of him, but this high and mighty Highness doesn't care at all...
