Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Mandarin Duck Bracelet
"Wife, you forgot to wear contact lenses again, why didn't you see me?" Nie Chen shouted to Ningxia with a hint of tiredness in his voice.
This sound almost made Ningxia jump to his feet. But there are still many people in the hall, and she is not the kind of woman who is excessively spicy, so she can only endure this breath for the time being, fold back without smiling, and grind her teeth and walk in front of Nie Chen.
Before she could speak, Nie Chen said to Hu De, "Uncle Hu, you go and rest first." ”
Hood nodded, then handed the lockbox he was holding to Ningxia and said, "Young grandma, please take this box." Hood also looked tired, and his old face looked even more haggard.
Ningxia took the lockbox, knowing in his heart that it should contain the piece of gold and red fei that Nie Chen gambled. He worked on the jade in the jade workshop overnight, not knowing what to make. Immediately, her curiosity was aroused, and she didn't want to go out, and accompanied Nie Chen back to their room.
Entering the room, Ningxia put the lockbox on the table, thinking about how to ask Nie Chen to open it, let her take a look, thinking that when it was still jade, the golden silk red fei was already so thrilling, after this finished product, I don't know how beautiful it is, Ningxia has some impulse to see it immediately, but because the thing is Nie Chen's, she has to take into account her pride and self-esteem, and she can't open her mouth if she is killed.
Nie Chen had already seen all of Ningxia's expressions, slid the wheelchair to the table, and opened the lockbox, which contained several large and small red velvet boxes, as well as a piece of unprocessed jade the size of a bowl. Nie Chen opened the velvet boxes one by one, and there were two pairs of bracelets, a pair of jade plates with dragon and phoenix patterns, a pendant with magnolia flowers, and a pair of pendants with dragon and phoenix auspiciousness.
Ningxia fell in love with the pendant of the magnolia flower at a glance, as well as the pair of dragon and phoenix pendants, which turned out to be hollow jade carving techniques, this hollow jade carving technique, also known as openwork, was developed on the basis of perforation, and was first seen in the hollow jade crown ornament of Liangzhu culture. The procedure of hollow carving is to drill pipes and drill holes at equidistant places on the outer outline of the ornamentation, and then connect them with wire saws to form groove lines. The ornaments that will be carved on the jade are layered and three-dimensional, and the finished product carved out is exquisite and transparent, and it is beautiful.
Especially the pendant of this magnolia flower, the petals are ethically distinct, as real as a flower that has just been plucked from a branch. The most beautiful pair is the pair of pei, the phoenix carving is lifelike, like a fiery red phoenix with wings ready to fly. Ningxia has always thought that the phoenix ornaments are too traditional and old-fashioned, but now when she sees this pair, she feels for the first time why the national is the world!
The other two pairs of bracelets are transparent and pure, fluorescent, like the red sun rising in the morning with the morning glow, shining brightly. The red is bright and coquettish, and it is enchanting. Ningxia really couldn't imagine that Nie Chen actually had such a ability, did he make all these jewelry with his own hands? It seems that she underestimated him before, it was really a great mistake, just looking at the carving skills of that pair of Pei, this Nie Chen is really a master who is deeply hidden.
"The rest of the jade material, when I go back, I will polish it into beads, make a necklace and bracelet for you, and make a brooch." Nie Chen's tired voice was a little hoarse, but because of his warm timbre, it added a bit of lazy sexiness, he paused for a moment, cleared his throat, and then continued, "For the sake of my love for staying up all night to make these jewelry, in order to give me a sense of accomplishment, you can reluctantly make it difficult, choose a sample to wear first!" Nie Chen's words have made it clear that the bracelets and pendants of gold silk jadeite that have been made now, as well as other jewelry that will be made in the future, will be hers alone.
I don't know why, Ningxia felt uncomfortable with a sour nose, and his eyes were as uncomfortable as if he was lost in his eyes.
Nie Chen had been waiting for her answer, his handsome and beautiful face was dyed with tiredness, and his eyes were as cold as the night mist, and at this time, he was like being wrinkled by the spring breeze, and the ripples were fully revealed.
Ningxia was stunned, lowered her head, and for a long time, she quickly took off the jade plate that the Tang mirror gave her from her neck, and then went to take the phoenix pattern in the pair of dragons and phoenixes, but her hand was about to touch the phoenix pendant, she turned away suddenly, picked up the pendant of the magnolia flower, and put it on her neck.
Nie Chen's eyes were originally faintly looking forward to it, but after seeing that Ningxia took the pendant of the magnolia flower, the shining light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, as if suddenly a haze filled the sky, covering the brilliant starlight in the original sky.
Ningxia put the dragon pattern jade plate given by Tang Jing into the empty box, and then said to Nie Chen with a smile, "The bracelet is too beautiful, too eye-catching, we are outside now, it is not easy to show our wealth, and when we go back, let's wear it again." I still think that such a red bracelet is more suitable for wearing when I get married. ”
Nie Chen's dim eyes, because of Ningxia's last words, suddenly shone brightly, and the light was more beautiful and shining than the most dazzling stars in the sky. It's just that when Ningxia turned his head to look at him, he lowered his eyelids, as if he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes anymore.
"If you're tired, drink a glass of water first." Ningxia handed Nie Chen the cup of spring water that he took out of the space yesterday. Even though it had been left for more than a day, the spring water still felt cool through the walls of the cup.
Nie Chen took the water cup, drank it slowly, put the cup on the table, and then slid his wheelchair to the bedside.
Ningxia followed behind, trying to help him to get to bed, but he refused, insisting on going to bed with clumsy movements.
Ningxia sighed slightly, his strength really didn't match his elegant appearance.
Walking back to the table, before Ningxia was about to close the lockbox, she couldn't help but pick up the phoenix-patterned pair and look at it, she really liked it in her heart, but unfortunately, this is a pair, she minds that the other will not be worn by Nie Chen, so she can't wear it no matter how much she likes it. As for the bracelet, Ningxia picked one up and put it on his hand and tried it, and the inner diameter was just right. And with the bracelet of the previous dragon stone species, it happened to be a jade and a jade, and it happened to become a mandarin duck bracelet.
This mandarin duck bracelet does not refer to the concept of a pair of mandarin ducks carved on the bracelet, but refers to the bracelet in pairs. The pairing here refers to the two pieces of material that are opened from a jade tire, regardless of the style of the bracelet, such as the dragon stone jade bracelet that Ningxia now has in his hand, and the two pairs of gold silk and red bracelets in front of him, all called mandarin duck bracelets; or the color and texture are very similar; Or the color segments are just complementary, such as one is full of spring with green, and the other is full of green with spring; Or the color is exactly two extremes, one jade and one emerald, or one yin and one yang, (that is, green to blue and green to yellow); and so on, so he made a pair of bracelets.
In front of me, Ningxia is wearing a bracelet with gold silk and red jade and a bracelet with a dragon stone jade, which happens to be a jade and a jade, especially nowadays It is very popular to contrast colors, these two bracelets are matched together, and they can be regarded as a popular fashion element.
One is as colorful as a green leaf, and the other is as bright as the morning glow and red sun, and when paired together, it is really beautiful. Ningxia looked left and right, and was really reluctant to take it off. It's a girl, there's no one who doesn't like jadeite, who doesn't want to be a jade beauty? Beauty is like jade. What's more, these two bracelets are the best jadeite, gold is priceless and jade is priceless, such a priceless treasure, Ningxia is naturally in love with death. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally couldn't control her love for the two bracelets and was reluctant to take them off.
She was worried that Ning Yuan knew that after Nie Chen gambled on the wool of the golden silk and red cui, she suspected that she had helped Nie Chen gamble, and now the wool has become a finished bracelet, and she denied that Nie Chen knew how to gamble on stones, Ning Yuan probably wouldn't have thought of it, when he saw it, she only said that it was Nie Chen who bought it for her. This Tengchong is a famous "jade capital", with the best jadeite, which is nothing new at all.
Thinking of this, Ningxia resolutely closed the lockbox, and the bracelet with gold and red silk was also worn.
By the time Ningxia turned to look at Nie Chen on the bed over there, he was already asleep. The left hand that was forced by Ningxia to wear a dragon stone jade bracelet hung down on the side of the bed, Ningxia walked over and wanted to put his hand back on the bed, but at this time he saw that his pale hand had several blisters, and two of the blisters were broken, and the skin was open, revealing the blood-red flesh inside.
Ningxia's heart suddenly felt as if it had been pierced by something, and the pain made her brows wrinkle.
