Chapter 123: Carving Jade
Everyone at the birthday banquet was eagerly discussing Fang Chen's proposal to carve this superb jadeite by himself, and finally their eyes fell on the old lady Zhou, who had the right to decide.
There were many people who were envious, jealous and hateful, and at this time, their mood became lively again, mocking Fang Chen for overestimating himself a little, and the smartest way to give away a piece of superb jade was to retire and enjoy the praise of the old lady.
Now I have to add oil and vinegar to carve this piece of jadeite, don't you want to think about it, once there is an accident in the process of carving, which leads to the destruction of the beauty of the best jadeite, it will be self-defeating, and the old lady will be unhappy!
Zhou Lingyun, Zhou Lingfeng, and Zhou Yuying exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Old Lady Zhou would agree to Fang Cheng's request.
And Fang Chen must have an accident in the process of carving, it is best to completely destroy this superb jadeite, so that all the glory he has obtained before is not only written off, but also may make the old lady hate him for the rest of his life, and even Zhou Yufang and others behind it will completely lose the possibility of inheriting a large inheritance.
Because the cruelest thing for a person is not to never get it, but to lose it immediately after just getting it.
If Old Lady Zhou had never obtained this kind of superb glass imperial green jadeite, although he would have a little regret in his heart, he hoped that there would not be too many emotional fluctuations, but now that the best jadeite is in his hands, if it is destroyed, he will definitely be extremely disgusted with this person.
Old Madam Zhou did hesitate, he knew that since Fang Chen dared to say such a thing, he must have a certain certainty, but he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if this piece of superb jadeite was handed over to him to carve, and if there was any accident, it would really be a pity.
But in front of so many guests, if he didn't agree, he would be too stingy, after all, this piece of superb jade was opened for him by Fang Chen at a huge risk not long ago.
In the end, the old lady Zhou, who had been in charge of the Zhou family for nearly half a century, still decided to believe that Fang Chen once, even if there was an accident in the end, at least he did not let the entire Zhou family lose face.
He picked up the piece of superb jade with both hands, and said to it solemnly in his hand: "Of course I can trust you, let it go!"
Getting the expected answer, Fang Chen showed a confident smile, and then said, "I won't let you down, you should have a complete set of jade carving tools here!"
Old lady Zhou nodded and said: "When I was young, I also liked to get some jade and carve some gadgets by myself, so these things are still very complete." ”
In the process of speaking, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion had already gone down to prepare very sensibly.
Fang Chen continued: "Then grandfather, what do you want to carve this piece of jade into? is it all kinds of auspicious beasts or some characters that you are interested in?"
Old Lady Zhou thought about it and simply put his power to the end: "What do you want to carve, look at your own mind." ”
Seeing that this matter was finalized like this, there was a heated discussion again in several courtyards, many people felt that Fang Chen was once again making a dangerous move, wanting to raise his status in the middle family to a new level, and some people felt that he was just floating, lucky enough to break through the sky, and found a piece of superb jadeite, they didn't know what their surname was, and they would definitely be planted in the process of carving jadeite.
And Sun Wenyu and Sun Yaohui, the father and son, are the hardest working and most nervous among all the people in Mocking Wind Fangcheng.
They know too well how deep the grudge with Fang Chen and Sun Yueying is? Now that the real estate has not received the full support of Old Lady Zhou, it is already so difficult to deal with, if the entire Zhou family becomes their backer, then I am afraid that it will really not be solved in the future.
Sun Yaohui picked up a glass of whiskey in front of him, took a big sip and said worriedly: "Dad, do you think Fang Chen is really proficient in jade carving? This is too incredible, how young he is, and he has carried the reputation of waste for so many years!"
Sun Wenyu's worried look on his face was heavier than that of his son, and he let out a long sigh and said, "I'm afraid he does have two brushes, because with what I know about him, he won't take such a big risk without being sure."
So now we can only pray that he has an accident, otherwise, once he gets the full support of Old Lady Zhou, we must think about what kind of attitude to use to treat him. ”
After Sun Yaohui heard this, he clenched his fists extremely unwillingly, and slammed the table hard, and the sound immediately attracted the attention of many people, and a considerable part of these eyes were mocking and gloating.
Fang Chen is the son-in-law of the Sun family, which has long been known in Anping City, and everyone also knows that the members of the Sun family look down on Fang Chen very much, in the past three years, almost every time they see him, they will be extremely humiliated, and now Fang Chen's strong rise has undoubtedly given them a big mouth invisibly.
Moreover, this is just the beginning, from the thinking of normal people, I have been bullied for more than three years, and now I have the ability to hold it back, of course I will not bear it!
An old man who had a competitive relationship with Sun Wenyu even walked directly in front of him with a wine glass, and said in a weird manner: "Old Sun, congratulations to you, the original waste son-in-law has directly turned into a treasure, I believe that Fang Chen will definitely be very grateful for your 'care' for him over the years, and after he gets the appreciation of Old Lady Zhou, he will definitely repay him!"
The words take care and repay are deliberately accented, and it is uncomfortable to listen to them.
Sun Yaohui and Sun Wenyu's faces became even more gloomy, and the former snorted coldly: "Our Sun family's housework doesn't need you, an outsider, to make irresponsible remarks, do you think it is so easy to carve jadeite? How many people who have been immersed in the world for more than ten or twenty years don't dare to make a move when facing the best jadeite, I don't believe that Fang Chen can have such an ability!"
The man didn't back down at all and said, "Just now you didn't believe that he could bloom jadeite, what about the result?" Anyway, let's wait and see, anyway, I must really hope that Fang Chen can carve this jadeite perfectly!"
"You!"
Sun Yaohui was so angry by his words that he stood up directly from the chair and wanted to continue arguing, but was stopped by his father.
This is the courtyard of the Zhou family, if there is any fierce conflict at the birthday banquet of Old Man Zhou, there will be no good fruit to eat, especially now that Fang Chen is rising strongly, the most important thing they should do is to be low-key and low-key.
Sun Yaohui also knew this truth, so although the anger rose in his heart, he could only endure this breath in the end, snorted coldly and sat back again.
His eyes were staring at the front, the 100-inch TV screen watched as the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion had already obtained a complete set of exquisite jade carving tools, in front of Fang Chen, he immediately became nervous, gritted his teeth and whispered: God bless, don't let this kid really carve the jade well!
Once again became the focus of the audience, but Fang Chen still had a confident and indifferent smile, first washed his hands with warm water to ensure that there would be no sweat stains or anything dirty, he brought a pair of white gloves, took out a small hammer and a small awl from a complete set of jade carving tools, and without hesitation, he directly began to carve on the superb glass imperial green jade.
Dangdangdang, with a crisp and pleasant sound, the original perfect jadeite surface suddenly appeared a chisel mark, very fine jadeite ink, also fell on the operating table, suddenly made many people feel distressed, this is a glass imperial green jadeite, even if it is some broken foam, if it can be collected with a special glue and good, it is also very valuable.
Old Lady Zhou showed a rare serious expression, and while praying to Fang Chen, don't destroy this piece of jade, guessing, what exactly did he want to carve?
This is also the idea in most people's minds.
Sun Yueying, Zhou Yufang, and Sun Wenkang unconsciously held hands, sincerely praying that Fang Chen could have a more wonderful performance, so that they might not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives!
Time passed minute by minute, more and more jadeite fragments on the operating table, the jadeite that was originally a regular oval, and gradually revealed other shapes, at a glance, some like character statues, and some like rockery stones, in short, people can't figure it out, but Fang Chen's superb jade carving skills have been seen.
In the six-fold courtyard, nearly 300 people came to celebrate their birthdays, and the bigwigs from the business and political circles all seemed to be using classes at this time. Like a child, he didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of affecting Fang Chen, and was finally angered by Old Lady Zhou.
Finally, when Fangcheng carved for almost 10 minutes, the entire jadeite had already appeared in the outline of a human figure, and it looked like an old man riding on the line fairy deer.
Although the outline of the facial features has not yet been depicted, both the line and the old man give people a vivid and real feeling.
Suddenly, one of the courtyards, a man in his 40s with extraordinary bearing, frowned, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and lowered his voice to the person next to him: "I guessed what he was going to carve!"
