Chapter 281: Carving Technique

"Little... The little girl just passed last month. Luan Xiuyin was particularly nervous.

Xiangyu twisted up a white jade chess piece on the chessboard, looked at it carefully, and said: "In addition to the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting that Yin'an nobles must learn, what hobbies does Miss Luan have on weekdays?"

"Embroidery and ...... Carved. ”

"Carving?"

"It's about carving all kinds of patterns and totems on any thing that can be carved. Speaking of her special skills, Luan Xiuyin's expression unconsciously relaxed, and her eyes became much more confident.

"Really?" Xiangyu was a little interested, he glanced at the cold melon neatly placed on the plate, and stretched out his hand, "Then you will carve one or two on this?"

Luan Xiuyin stared at the plate of cold melon slices for a few moments: "Does the son want the little girl to carve on the melon skin, or on the melon pulp?"

Xiangyu was a little stunned, and a surprise flashed in his eyes: "Could it be that you can still carve on the melon?"

"Yes. Luan Xiuyin said with a little smugness in her shyness.

"Then ......" Xiangyu looked at the lotus leaves floating on the water by the lake, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "How about carving a lotus leaf?"

Xiangyu's smile made everyone in the pavilion stunned.

Childe, this is a pleasure!

Luan Xiuyin's carving skills can actually attract a smile from the child, and she knew that she should have shown it earlier, but fortunately, she learned this little trick, so that she was almost kicked out of the competition directly from Xiangyu's fiancΓ©e just now.

Luan Jing had a hint of satisfaction on his face, and Luan Feng'an on the side also smiled and instructed Luan Xiuyin: "Since it is the child's request, you will carve it well, and don't sweep away the child's interest." ”

"Yes. Luan Xiuyin felt a burst of joy in her heart, and her response was much lighter.

She immediately called the little maid, and was about to ask the little guy to fetch a lotus leaf, but she heard Luan Feng'an say again: "It is not only a carving, but also pays attention to the advantages and disadvantages of some texture patterns, you might as well go and pick it yourself, and make a choice by the way." ”

When Luan Feng'an said this, his eyes kept hinting at Luan Xiuyin.

Luan Xiuyin was stunned for a few moments, and finally reacted, she nodded slightly, and the words that were about to be spoken changed the direction of the wind: "What my father said coincided with what I thought, I also thought that I needed to go to the center of the lake to pick a lotus leaf myself, but it was because of ......"

When she said this, she couldn't help but look at Xiangyu delicately like a mimosa: "Carving flowers for the son is not negligent." ”

Luan Xiuyin's words and expression obviously comprehended the deep meaning of Luan Feng'an asking her to pick lotus leaves herself.

Luan Feng'an showed a satisfied smile, watched Luan Xiuyin take the little guy to retire for the time being, and walked towards a small boat parked on the shore of the lake not far away.

On the jade lake, Luan Xiuyin is dressed in water blue, standing in a pavilion, boating with the small guy, and when the lotus leaves in the center of the lake are luxuriant, the boat stops steadily, Luan Xiuyin lies on the edge of the lake, rolls up the water sleeves, stretches a piece of arm like a jade lotus root into his hand, and picks lotus leaves.

From time to time, there is the sound of Luan embroidery and the laughter of the little girl, light as a yellow warbler in the forest.

Yueli listened to it and felt itchy in his heart, looking at the shadow above the Jade Lake, and then facing the summer lake breeze, it was as beautiful as a painting that exuded vitality.

Yin'an's noble daughter is really well-pampered, a casual line or a word, and her demeanor can seduce men in their hearts between breaks.

Yue Li couldn't help but look at Xiangyu beside him, and saw that his eyes were really focused on a blue shadow in the middle of the lake in the distance.

Childe rarely looks at a woman like this.

A sour water suddenly appeared in Yueli's heart, and she knew that she was jealous.

A burst of laughter like silver bells sounded behind her, Luan Xiuyin had already returned with the little girl, she was holding a lotus leaf with emerald color in both hands, her face was dyed a layer of red because of the sun for a short while, and the whole person looked inexplicably brighter.

Xiangyu didn't stay on Luan Xiuyin's face for too long, his attention was more focused on the middle of the lotus leaf, only to see that there was still a drop of water rolling back and forth slightly.

Xiangyu pointed to the water beads and asked Luan Xiuyin: "This water bead should be carved together?"

Luan Xiuyin was slightly stunned: "Into the painting...... It's not impossible. ”

The moon fence was a little surprised, it is already difficult to carve the gourd with the gourd of the cold melon, and now it is necessary to carve a water drop on the lotus leaf, and there is a sense of lifelikeness, otherwise it is to add to the snake.

I didn't expect this Luan embroidery sound to respond without thinking about it, could it be that the carving skills are really superb?

Not to mention Xiangyu, even Yueli is a little interested.

She watched Luan Xiuyin select a piece of sliced melon pulp suitable for hardness, thickness, freshness, color and other aspects from the plate, and then took a few carving knives with different widths, thicknesses, lengths, etc., and then sat on a brocade pestle, buried her head and began to carve carefully.

When she was carving, everyone was not disturbed, there was no noise around, everyone held their breath, and their attention stopped at the moment of carving of the Luan Xiuyin knife.

I saw her slender jade hands as long as white onions, and her movements with the knife were extremely flexible.

With the passage of time, Luan Xiuyin used the knife to get more and more brisk, and a lotus leaf totem with water beads in the heart of the leaf gradually jumped on the red and gorgeous melon pulp.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ingenious and miraculous.

After Luan Xiuyin carved the last stroke, she stopped, she slowly raised her head, and offered the cold melon slice with the lotus leaf totem in her hand to Xiangyu.

Xiangyu stretched out his hand, carefully took it, spread it out on the palm of his hand, and looked at the beaded lotus leaf floating on the red melon pulp, lifelike, just like a red lotus leaf holding the palm of his hand.

In the sunlight, between the carved lines of the lotus leaves, a little red juice oozing from the flesh is glowing with a cool and pleasant red light.

"Not bad. Xiangyu looked satisfied.

He looked at Luan Xiuyin, who was kneeling in front of him, and after a pause, he used his free hand to help him up.

This support is of far-reaching significance, several people of the Luan tribe, including Luan Xiuyin, have a touch of excitement and joy in their eyes, and that look, as if Xiangyu has chosen Luan Xiuyin as his wife.

Witnessing this scene, Yue Liang was also a little unhappy in his heart.

The woman in front of her who is rich in carving skills, she has never forgotten that she deliberately made things difficult for a sunflower orchid at the flower viewing party in Jiqi Mountain, and she had to ignore people's faces.

For her, Moon Fence can't have a good impression.

When he was about to leave the house, after saying goodbye to Luan Jing and the others, Xiangyu saw the disapproving expression of Yueli standing on the side, and after a few steps away from the mansion gate, Xiangyu said: "You don't like Miss Luan." ”

His tone was sure he wasn't asking her.

"Childe, can you see this?" Moon Fence simply didn't hide it.

"Childe is so profound, if I am confused by such goods, then I will be disappointed. Yueli did not forget to start provoking the relationship between Xiangyu and Luan Xiuyin, and carefully observed Xiangyu's expression as she spoke.

Xiangyu smiled, didn't respond, just walked straight towards the black nanmu carriage, Yue Liang pouted dissatisfiedly, and quickly followed.
