Chapter 268: The mysterious and extravagant Zifei
Some of the judges were very dissatisfied, "Why is there so much to do with this Zhao Yu?" The rules of the competition have been set a long time ago, so how can they be changed at will? Do you really think that if you solve a piece of imperial green, you will be invincible in the world, and you don't take other people in your eyes? β
The one who spoke was a thin black man with prominent cheekbones, who was very close to the Bai family on weekdays, and could be regarded as a fan of Bai Zhiming.
However, if there are objections, there are those who agree, and another white and chubby judge smiled and said: "I think Zhao Yu's proposal is good." β
The judge with a long beard sitting next to him nodded: "If you don't agree, everyone still thinks that our Jade Chamber of Commerce is weak-minded." β
Of the five judges, two agreed and two disagreed.
The four of them looked at Bai Zhiming, the only one who did not express his position.
"President, what do you think should be done about this?" The black and thin old man asked Bai Zhiming.
As for why he didn't ask the county magistrate Liu Biliang? Liu Biliang, as the county magistrate, is not so idle, how can he always sit in the gambling stone conference? He also showed his way down at the opening of the conference yesterday and left later.
So at the scene, it was up to Bai Zhiming, the president, to make the decision.
Bai Zhiming naturally didn't want to change the rules of the competition, if a precedent was set, wouldn't anyone be able to point fingers at the Gambling Stone Conference in the future? What's more, his nephew is among the twenty-four contestants, and he has already arranged to take advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the finals to let his nephew win the first place.
Originally, he had high hopes for his son Bai Haochen, but who knew that he was defeated by Zhao Yu who came out of nowhere.
In this way, he can only change people.
And he has to do more than this, that Zhao Yu dared to give him so much face yesterday, and today he will make him unable to even pass the first level!
If the rules are replaced by what Zhao Yu said, then his plans will all be in vain!
However, whether it was the people watching the game or the contestants, most of them were standing on Zhao Yu's side, if he resolutely disagreed, wouldn't he be speechless?
Bai Zhiming secretly hated Zhao Yu for making trouble for himself, and became more and more determined to eliminate him, "This session of the conference has reached the third session, where is the reason to change the rules halfway?" It's better to keep it the same this time, and wait for the next oneβ"
Before Bai Zhiming's words fell, a voice suddenly sounded: "I think Zhao Gongzi's proposal is very good, and there is no need to wait until the next session, just follow what Zhao Gongzi said." β
It was Liu Biliang, the county magistrate who suddenly appeared, who spoke.
As the governor of the entire Yujing City, Liu Biliang's words have a decisive role.
Bai Zhiming didn't expect his brother-in-law to dismantle his platform in public, and his face was a little unhappy for a while.
Liu Biliang doesn't want to, but his future and life are pinched in his hands, what can he do?
Originally, he was listening to the music in the theater, but a man wearing a mask suddenly appeared and threw him a booklet.
What was recorded in that booklet was all kinds of evidence that he had accepted bribes!
If this booklet is exposed, let alone the black gauze hat, his head may not be protected!
He thought that the masked man was going to let him do something, but he just rushed to the scene of the gambling stone conference and agreed to the proposal of a person named Zhao Yu.
Thinking of this, Liu Biliang also had a grudge against Bai Zhiming, the eldest brother, if he had agreed earlier, would there be anything behind? Will the masked man still find him?
With the approval of the prefectural magistrate, the rules of the competition have changed slightly.
After all the contestants have written their answers, they have to hang the wooden cards on the roof of the shed, and then the judges will read the answers out in public, so that there is no possibility of cheating.
The referee started from the right-hand side and read out the contestant's answer aloud: "No. 13, Ice Glutinous Seed Yang Green Jade." No. 57, high ice species yang green floating flower jade. No. 457, no green ......"
Reading the past one by one, Xue Wu is the last one here.
Most of them bet on the jadeite in the wool, because the wool on the table is performing very well, and according to experience, there is a high probability that there will be green in it.
However, it turns out that the truth is in the hands of a few.
When the wool is unraveled, it is empty, and there is not a trace of green.
Those who bet on green were all eliminated from the competition.
At this moment, twenty-four people went to sixteen, and only eight people remained.
Needless to say, Xue Wu is naturally one of the eight people, and Zheng Feibai, Tang Yu, Deng Xun and others are also promoted.
Zheng Feibai himself was surprised, "Got it right again?" β
He really couldn't see the situation of the jadeite in the wool, so he simply wrote a "not green", but he didn't expect it to be correct.
But that's where his good fortune ends.
In the second round, the wool on the stage was replaced by a piece of Ming gambling material, which had wiped open a palm-sized window, revealing a piece of water jade, with a transparent texture and a color like spring water, which was very gratifying.
The jadeite has been exposed, so the question is no longer whether it contains jadeite, but the specific situation of the jadeite inside.
Of course, the exposed piece may be all the jadeite contained in this material, and there may be no jadeite in it at all.
Xue Wu sensed the situation inside the wool, and couldn't help but flash a touch of surprise on her face, this piece of material was actually a piece of spring ribbon color, and there was a piece of purple fei hidden in the corner. The head of the water is quite good, almost to the level of ice.
It is only the size of a glass bead, but it is very pure, and it is a thick purple, like a purple eye, which is very mysterious and noble.
However, Xue Wu did not write this purple jade, but only wrote spring ribbon color.
The location of that purple fei is very hidden, if you don't cut the wool piece by piece, you won't find it, even the most experienced stone gambler can't guess that a piece of wool contains two pieces of jadeite with completely different kinds of water at the same time.
If she writes it, she will not face everyone's amazement, but suspicion.
Just writing spring ribbons was enough for her to advance.
Chun with color, in fact, to be precise, it should be Ulva color, Ulva is a kind of aquatic plant, that is, what we call Ulva cabbage, its flowers are purple and red, so people use "Ulva flower" to refer to the purple fei in the jadeite.
Cai, on the other hand, refers to green jade.
Ulva ribbon color, that is, jadeite with both purple and green colors, just screaming, and later became spring ribbon color.
Purple, in this era represents dignity, is the color advocated by Taoism and the upper rulers, purple gas from the east, the Forbidden City, purple robe gold belt, purple micro star, etc., all the words linked to "purple", that are full of unusual atmosphere.
In addition, at this time, the dyeing technology was not developed, and it was difficult to obtain purple artificially, so purple has always been admired by people.
If you see a person dressed in purple on the street, it goes without saying that this person must be very powerful. Because purple is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear, even if they have money.
One can imagine how popular the natural purple jadeite will be.
