Chapter 139 Ending (1)
The Chinese Jade Carving Group submitted their work in the jade carving competition. It was a thin-bodied chain incense burner, made with iron and jade techniques. The outer side was carved with Confucius "lecturing at the Apricot Altar", and the inner side was carved with an article "The Great Learning".
The thin-walled incense burner and the finger-knife hidden-line carving of "Lectures at the Apricot Altar" are from Shuiyi Yao, the inner carving of "University" is from Lu Jiayu, and the chain work is what Zhao Mingjue is good at.
All three parts are decorated with iron jade, which makes the whole incense burner look particularly solemn, and the cold color of the metal inside adds a dazzling sharp atmosphere to it.
Needless to say, the skills of these three individuals are among the highest in the industry. Their individual styles are exquisite and elegant, and when combined, they create a harmonious and natural harmony, imbued with a solemn and dignified quality. Like artifacts fresh from a museum, their exquisite perfection makes one hesitate to touch them.
The most important thing was the appearance of the iron jade technology, which caused a sensation on the scene and attracted almost everyone's attention.
This is the first time that iron jade has appeared on such an occasion. Jade has always been sought after for its "warmth". Metals do not have this unique warmth, including gold and silver. However, gold and silver are luxurious and exquisite, and have a certain degree of fit with the temperament of jade. But iron is different. Iron lacks this exquisite feeling.
Iron has always been sharp. Since ancient times, most cold weapons have been made of iron. Iron represents weapons, war, and force.
Such coldness is completely different from the temperament of jade. The exposed iron with a bright luster adds an unusual sense of hardness and sharpness to the jade.
China's jade culture has never been just "gentle". It would rather die than live in disgrace, and what it seeks is strength.
Tieyu emphasizes this "strength" to the fullest.
There is no doubt that this work won high scores, with almost all the judges giving it a score of 8 or above.
There were 10 judges in total. Excluding the highest and lowest scores, the final average score was 9.1 points.
Xiaoshan Guo's work scored 6.3 points.
Their team was missing Uehara Fumi and Asai Toru, so their works could no longer be used and they had to start all over again. The new team members had not expected this situation. Their works were produced in less than half a month and the coordination of various parts was still very awkward. Some parts were rough and grand, while others were exquisite and restrained, which even made insiders feel a little awkward when they looked at them closely.
Although it looks good overall, it is far inferior to the iron jade incense burner.
9.1 points and 6.8 points, a gap of nearly 3 points. Even if there is the next competition event, it will be basically difficult to catch up with the score.
The two countries' league matches last from 7 am to 7 pm, a total of 13 hours.
An hour in the morning was spent on grading the works submitted by the two countries, and the remaining time was used for the second item, on-site demonstration of skills.
The three Chinese people each demonstrated a craft, among which iron jade, as a new skill that shines brightly, must be demonstrated.
The iron jade part was demonstrated by Shui Yiyao, who was the most skilled, Zhao Mingjue demonstrated chain work, and Lu Jiayu demonstrated inner painting.
Needless to say, Zhao Mingjue's chain carvings are also extremely intricate, using a single piece of jade to carve interlocking chains, which is very delicate. Lu Jiayu's inner painting, carving a complete painting on the inside of the vessel, also requires extremely high skills.
At the league scene, three people from each country were divided into two camps, each with their own camera position, and the performance was performed live on the demonstration stage.
This kind of niche competition doesn't attract many spectators, mostly just insiders. For international competitions like this, industry insiders from various countries are invited to watch.
There were nearly a hundred spectators on site.
"That Chinese jade carver in the wheelchair is so beautiful, and her hands are so steady. I really need to learn how to carve this iron jade, it's really beautiful."
"He's a healthy guy, he doesn't look that old, how come he's lame?"
"You, don't you know this? There was a lot of noise a while ago. It was that Asai Tu from Xiaoshan Country who made a gas fire to blow her up, and she became lame."
"This girl is so pretty, what a shame."
"So shameless? How could you do such a thing?"
"Of course not. Why do you think Uehara Kazami didn't come? He was implicated. What a pity."
"Why would he get involved? He's already led his own team to such an extent. He should just focus on his craft. What kind of people are these? They have to do all this unnecessary stuff."
"Just watch quietly. Why don't you learn how to make this iron jade? Why are you making such a fuss?"
The first half ends at 12 o'clock, lunch break begins, and the second half starts at 13:30.
"Gentlemen, the first half is over."
Halfway through the carving, a staff member came on stage and ushered the two jade carving teams out: "Everyone has half an hour for lunch and an hour for rest. Now let's go to the restaurant first. Everyone, please follow me."
Two staff members came up and pushed Shui Yiyao's wheelchair.
Lu Jiayu walked towards Shui Yiyao and said, "I'll push it."
The staff member smiled and said, "You have a game this afternoon, so we can just push it."
Shui Yiyao: "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Lu Jiayu still stood beside Shui Yiyao and asked her, "How do you feel? Are you tired?"
Shui Yiyao: "I'm feeling energetic, not tired at all. It's much easier than I thought."
Lu Jiayu also nodded in agreement: "No, they did it themselves. Both Uehara Fengjian and Asai Tu have been replaced. What threat can they pose?"
Thinking of this, Lu Jiayu looked at Shui Yiyao's legs and almost gritted his teeth: "They are really disgusting."
"Who are you calling disgusting?"
The jade carver from Xiaoshan Kingdom who had been following nearby suddenly came up, stared at Lu Jiayu, and spoke in a deep voice.
Lu Jiayu barely hesitated: "I'm talking about you guys, disgusting."
Shui Yiyao looked up and saw that the person walking next to her was the leader of the Xiaoshan Kingdom. It was said that he was Uehara Fumi's junior brother, named Nagasawa Fumu. He looked younger than Uehara Fumi, about thirty or forty years old. He was pulled in later to fill the position.
Hearing Lu Jiayu say this, Changze Fengmu's eyes widened immediately, and he was furious: "Let's put it this way. Asai Tu has already paid the price for his mistake, and he also implicated my senior brother Uehara. We have suffered much more losses than you in this matter. What do you mean by bringing it up now? Are you trying to humiliate us?"
"Let's put it this way." Shui Yiyao sneered, "Then why did you jump out? What does it have to do with you if we scold Qian Jingtu?"
"He's already paid the price with his life. Isn't that enough? Besides, my senior brother has done nothing wrong to you, so why are you scolding him too?"
"Why? Does he still want to escape the blame? You guys have already removed him. If you feel he's been wronged, go talk to the decision-makers on your side. Why are you yelling at us?"
"You! We withdrew our senior brother out of courtesy. We're different from you! You're unreasonable!" Changze Fengmu looked at Lu Jiayu, then at Shui Yiyao: "You were only slightly injured, but my senior brother couldn't even participate in the competition."
Lu Jiayu was furious.
"That's none of our business. Go talk to whoever caused it!"
Shui Yiyao held her back and said that there was a match in the afternoon and the outcome was basically decided, so why bother with him?
"Never mind him, let's go eat."
Lu Jiayu: "I just can't stand it. What does this mean? They are so shameless that they are blaming us for this? What's the logic!"
"Bah."
"I'm hungry, let's go quickly." Shui Yiyao signaled the staff to push the wheelchair away quickly.
The defeat of Xiaoshan Kingdom is certain. Are they making trouble now in an attempt to disrupt the game?
Thinking of this, Shui Yiyao sneered. It was not that she wanted to think the worst of people, but the bottom line of this group of people was beyond her imagination.
Last time, she'd assumed they were trying to steal something, so she'd built a safe, but she hadn't expected it to explode. If it weren't for Ao Li, justice wouldn't have come this quickly. Changze Fengmu's behavior now made her think he was trying to sabotage the competition.
Shui Yiyao left, and Lu Jiayu quickly followed and stopped arguing with them.
After she came up, she kept on nagging: "How shameless! You won't let me speak."
Shui Yiyao: "After the afternoon game is over, let's go to their door and scold them."
Sister Lu: "Okay."
The distance between the two camps widened, and they finally arrived at the restaurant smoothly.
The meals were prepared long ago.
Shui Yiyao and others sat in their seats under the guidance of the staff.
The people from Xiaoshan Country were on the other side, but for some reason, they came over and sat next to the Chinese jade carving group.
Lu Jiayu frowned and said "disgusting" again.
Shui Yiyao looked at their positions with amusement. They were sitting so close to each other, so they really wanted to find something to do, huh?
Seeing that Lu Jiayu wanted to say something, Zhao Mingjue said, "Eat first. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
The food was served in the restaurant soon.
Shui Yiyao had just picked up her chopsticks when she heard someone say, "This dish is Senior Brother Qianjing's favorite. It's a pity that he can no longer eat it."
It's both remembrance and sighing.
Lu Jiayu sneered: "If you really miss him that much, bring him down and give him something to eat."
Zhao Mingjue stopped Lu Jiayu with his eyes.
He then brought the fruit plate in front of him to Shui Yiyao: "This will be good for your wound. I don't like it, so I'll give it all to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao." Shui Yiyao took his fruit plate and placed it in front of herself, not looking angry at all.
Several people continued to eat.
Shui Yiyao heard the other party continue to mention Qian Jingtu so deliberately. Was he trying to provoke her?
Her eyes were subtle for a moment, and she continued to eat without saying anything.
After hearing what Lu Jiayu said, he pretended not to hear it, but his face became much darker.
He continued, "And Senior Brother Uehara, it was such an unexpected disaster. He should have won the award..."
Shui Yiyao thought that they should have stopped talking after saying these two sentences, but she had almost finished eating and they still hadn't stopped. It was almost like holding a memorial service for them.
There was no tactical arrangement, no summary or reflection, just a few words going back and forth.
Is this because he feels he can't win, so he gives up on himself?
As he spoke, he became more and more excited: "Originally, Senior Brother Asai Tu was going to marry Miss Xiangmu after returning, but he didn't expect..."
"Chengyu, how can you still eat!"
Can't sit still anymore, just call out the name?
Shui Yiyao heard this but didn't turn around to look at them. She didn't say a word and continued eating her food.
Lu Jiayu wanted to say something but was stopped by Zhao Mingjue. Seeing Shui Yiyao so calm, he didn't say anything and continued eating.
"Chengyu, do you know how Senior Brother Qian Jingtu passed away? How...how come you act like nothing happened? That was a life! Don't you feel any guilt at all?"
"You don't really think that Senior Brother Qian Jingtu fell from the building by himself, do you? That has something to do with you. It's you. It's all because of you! You owe him justice. Don't you know the truth? Then let me tell you, your Ao..."
Is this going to be about Ao Li?
When Shui Yiyao heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she turned around and threw a pair of chopsticks at the person who was talking over there, and they hit his bowl with a "bang".
All of a sudden, everyone stopped. Lu Jiayu, who was about to curse, was shocked. Why did he just hit someone?
Nagasawa Fumu stood up involuntarily and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw chopsticks in the bowl. He thought it was some hidden weapon.
Shui Yiyao picked up the convenient crutch from the side of the wheelchair, stood up with the crutch, looked at the people from Xiaoshan Kingdom, and finally her eyes stopped on Nagasawa Fengmu.
She took two steps closer and stood next to Nagasawa Fuuki. Suddenly, she raised a crutch and knocked his chair away.
"If you don't want to eat, get out."
The chair fell to the ground with a loud thud.
The mountain man didn't dare to speak for a moment. This was too sudden. How could this man be so fierce even with his lame leg?
Shui Yiyao still looked at Changze Fengmu: "If you have the ability, show it with your hands. Don't talk so much nonsense. We don't have time."
"If you really think I've violated any rules, go ahead and sue me."
Shui Yiyao lowered her voice, her eyes becoming provocative: "Also, before you start causing trouble, think about the cost first."
After she finished speaking, she sat down again and put her crutches aside. "If you have anything else to say, let's talk after the game. If you don't want to compete, go and surrender to the organizers and leave me alone."
Shui Yiyao's outburst seemed to have stunned everyone. No one spoke for a moment.
"Have a meal."
She had just had an outburst, which should have affected her mood, but Shui Yiyao continued to eat her meal slowly and leisurely as if she was not affected at all.
After finishing their meal, the Huaguo Sai team was taken to the lounge by the staff.
Xiaoshanguo was obviously not in the mood to eat, so he followed him to the lounge.
The lounge was private for each person, and several people from Huaguo went into Shui Yiyao's room first to discuss the focus of the afternoon's game.
Lu Jiayu: "Actually, there's no need to discuss this. We can win if we just play as usual."
Zhao Mingjue didn't object: "That's true."
"Then what are we discussing? Just perform normally and that's it."
Shui Yiyao: "Those people over there have bad intentions. I think they want to provoke me to hit someone."
Zhao Mingjue agreed, "That's right. Since they can't win, they're just sabotaging the game, and they're trying to pin the blame of sabotaging on you."
Lu Jiayu reacted: "So Yuyu didn't attack anyone, she only smashed the chopsticks and chair?"
Didn't touch them a finger.
She shook her head again. "They were the ones who proposed this competition, and now they're the ones trying to sabotage it. They're really good, they've really taken over everything."
Shui Yiyao: "We still need to check whether they have tampered with our tools."
"This..." Lu Jiayu was about to say that it was not necessary, but thinking about the previous explosion, she couldn't say it: "I'll go check it out in a while."
"Yuyu, you should rest first. It's very tiring to make iron jade in the afternoon."
Although Shui Yiyao had difficulty walking, she did not refuse. She thanked him and accepted the offer.
·
The afternoon competition was held as scheduled, and Shui Yiyao sat in her seat, ready to continue.
She had already carved out the shape of the iron jade in the morning, and now she needed to melt the iron block and draw and inlay it.
"Give me the heat-insulating gloves." Shui Yiyao said to her assistant.
Heat-insulating gloves are essential for making iron jade.
The assistant rummaged through the toolbox and found a small box containing gloves. He opened it, took out the gloves, and handed them to Shui Yiyao.
Shui Yiyao took it and looked inside the gloves. After making sure that the gloves were intact and there was nothing extra, she put them on.
After putting it on, Shui Yiyao frowned.
Why...are there so many small holes?
You can't notice these holes before you put them on because they are so small. But after you put them on and tighten the gloves, you will find that there are four or five small holes on the palm and fingers of the gloves.
It felt like it was poked out by a thick steel needle.
How can it be insulated with so many holes?
When the assistant saw this, his eyes widened and he broke out in a cold sweat.
These heat-insulating gloves are specifically needed for making iron jade. They are made of special materials and are specially customized. They are not available at the moment. The iron jade production process can reach temperatures of over 100 degrees Celsius, and without gloves, iron jade cannot be made.
what to do?
The assistant wanted to curse. It was obvious that this was man-made. Who was the shameless person who did this?
If she couldn't make Iron Jade, then Shui Yiyao would only get zero points. All the previous achievements would not count.
Shui Yiyao looked at the gloves with a hint of sarcasm. "Still so unpresentable?" She even resorted to such tricks. "Are you getting impatient?"
She looked up at the jade carving team from the Oyama Kingdom across from her. The leader, Nagasawa Fuuki, also looked up at her with a friendly smile on his face.
But no matter how Shui Yiyao looked at it, she felt that this smile deserved a beating.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that the assistant's expression was not right and Shui Yiyao's expression also looked a little problematic, the audience and judges below began to discuss.
"It seems there's something wrong with the gloves."
"Gloves, weren't they just introduced as heat-insulating gloves? They're very important, right?"
"How could something go wrong? Did you wear it for too long? Did it get worn out?"
"That's not right. Those are specially made gloves. They are wear-resistant and high-temperature-resistant. How can they be damaged so easily?"
"What should I do? Is there any other solution?"
"This iron jade is the most interesting thing today. I hope it won't disappear just like that."
Are you so happy?
Seeing Nagasawa Fengmu still smiling across from her, Shui Yiyao smiled back and said to the assistant next to her, "I have another pair in my bag. Could you please get it for me?"
The assistant hurriedly took Shui Yiyao's travel bag and rummaged through it. He found that there were not only gloves but also extra copies of all the tools.
He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head. Fortunately, Mr. Chengyu had prepared an extra portion for himself.
After he took out the gloves, he handed them to Shui Yiyao: "Mr. Chengyu."
Shui Yiyao took the gloves, shook them gently towards Nagasawa Fengmu who was smiling at her, and then put them on.
When he saw the pair of gloves, Nagasawa Fuuki's smile froze and disappeared in an instant.
Why is there a spare? When I introduced Tieyu before, didn’t I say, didn’t I say… that there was only one pair of these gloves?
Shui Yiyao put on gloves and continued making iron jade.
Originally, there was only one pair of these gloves, belonging to Old Sun, who had used them for many years. When they were learning to make iron jade, they took turns using them. Everyone had different speeds, so rotating them was enough.
But after she learned the art of iron jade forging, she spent the time and money to customize two new pairs. After all, she couldn't take Old Sun's gloves. Just this pair of gloves took a month to make.
After Shui Yiyao put on the gloves, she didn't look at him again and continued to make her own iron jade.
Tieyu was undoubtedly the highlight of this league. Almost everyone's attention was focused on Shui Yiyao, who saw the whole situation with the gloves clearly.
They couldn't hear what Shui Yiyao said to the assistant, but they could see that something must have gone wrong with the original pair of gloves, so they ended up taking another pair of gloves from Shui Yiyao's own bag.
They also saw Shui Yiyao shaking her gloves at Nagasawa Fengmu opposite them. From this angle, they couldn't see Nagasawa Fengmu's expression and didn't know what happened between them.
But if you think about it, you can guess that there was something wrong with the previous pair of gloves. It is probably because Chengyu suspected that it was dried by Changze.
If it was really done by Nagasawa Fumu, it would be a bit too much and hard to believe. But who else would do this besides his Xiaoshan Kingdom? Wouldn't this only benefit them? Except for them, everyone present wanted to learn how to make this iron jade.
Fortunately, Chengyu was well prepared, otherwise he would not have seen Tieyu today.
The afternoon match was also won without a doubt.
Although Xiaoshan's team performed well in the afternoon's solo performances, their group performances in the morning were too low. Furthermore, they failed to surpass the Chinese team in the afternoon performance, resulting in a final score difference of 3.3 points.
At the end of the league, Xiaoshan Country fulfilled its original bet. Nagasawa Fuuki, with a gloomy face, announced in front of all the participants and spectators that their Xiaoshan Country would withdraw from the next international competition.
When the host announced the victory of the Chinese team, applause filled the entire stadium.
The winner is decided and the league is over.
At the moment when the host announced that the Chinese team had won, fireworks of various colors suddenly exploded in the sky.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening. It gets dark early in winter, and the colorful fireworks in the sky are very conspicuous.
The guests at the venue looked at the fireworks in the sky. The fireworks were quite beautiful and grand.
"It's very beautiful." Sister Lu also looked up and praised the fireworks in a good mood.
Shui Yiyao also looked up. The colorful fireworks were indeed very gorgeous.
The host was stunned looking at the fireworks in the sky.
They originally planned to have this closing fireworks project, but it was rejected.
Fireworks are set off to celebrate, but this competition started when Xiaoshan Country challenged Hua Country to a fight. There are only two sides, and either you win or I win. One side will always lose. Setting off fireworks to celebrate is just a big mockery of the losing side.
So they rejected the fireworks project at the beginning and never applied to the authorities for permission to set off fireworks.
The host looked towards Xiaoshanguo, where Nagasawa Fumu was staring at her with an unfriendly look.
Host: “…” Since this competition was initiated by Xiaoshan Country, most of the funds were provided by them.
The host paused and smiled, "This unexpected fireworks display happened to celebrate the successful conclusion of the league between the two countries. The timing was perfect and truly appropriate."
After hearing what the host said, everyone was very surprised. These fireworks were not planned by the organizer?
"Hey, look up in the sky! There are words!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the fireworks in the sky gathered into a line of words.
——Congratulations on your victory!
Before anyone could guess or sigh, they saw the words in the sky change again.
——Congratulations to Chengyu on his victory!
There is an extra small word in the lower right corner: Ao.
Shui Yiyao looked up and saw the golden words in the sky. She was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile. Ao Li had originally said he would come to the competition, but he had something important to attend to. She had repeatedly told him not to come, but he didn't come, but his name did.
Thinking about it, Shui Yiyao shook her head helplessly again. This guy is really high-profile. Setting off fireworks, it's really his idea.
Was he so sure she could win? He even prepared fireworks in advance.
"Did your Mr. Ao prepare this for you?" Lu Jiayu was stunned for a moment before reacting, "That's quite thoughtful."
"It's him." The colorful light of the fireworks reflected on Shui Yiyao's face. Her eyes were glowing with passion, and her voice was soft: "It can't be anyone else."
The celebratory fireworks lasted for a full fifteen minutes.
After the initial celebratory fireworks, the subsequent fireworks were all in the shapes of various works of Shui Yi Yao.
Finally, it was fixed on the green jade incense burner that won the competition.
Lu Jiayu exclaimed: "Are these all your works?"
Shui Yiyao nodded.
After the jade incense burner disappeared into the sky, the night sky returned to silence.
it's over.
Lu Jiayu waited for a while, a little surprised: "That's it? I thought I was going to write "I love you" or something and take the opportunity to propose."
Shui Yiyao smiled and shook her head: "I've already received the certificate."
"When did it happen? I don't even know."
Lu Jiayu looked at Shui Yiyao's hand. She had seen a ring on Shui Yiyao's ring finger before, but she didn't wear it often during this period.
Yes, those of them who make jade carvings are not suitable to wear rings or bracelets.
When Ao Li came to the studio to accompany Yu Yu, she could see that he had the same ring on his hand, and he kept calling Yu Yu "Madam" for a long time and "Madam" for a short time, but she thought that the two of them were engaged in private. Did they even get the marriage certificate?
She thought that the fireworks were Ao Li's way of proposing to Yu Yu to please her, but they had already got the certificate.
Even after getting the marriage certificate, he is still willing to spend so much time on it. Moreover, Ao Li is such a busy man, but he doesn't have much free time. This can only mean that Ao Li really cares about Yu Yu.
"We just got the marriage certificate a while ago, but time was tight, so we didn't have time to hold the wedding." Shui Yiyao changed the subject: "Since we won, should we hold a celebration banquet and drink celebratory wine?"
Zhao Mingjue looked at her legs and said, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and you still want to drink a celebratory drink?"
Shui Yiyao smiled: "I put in a lot of effort, don't I deserve it?"
"You deserve it." The elder who sat two seats away from Shui Yiyao smiled and said, "Go back first. The celebration banquet will be held in two days, and you will definitely be included."
Because the competition ended too late, the organizers prepared resting places for all guests, but Hua Guo had already prepared the resting places and did not stay overnight.
Hua Guo's shuttle bus was parked at the entrance of the venue. After the closing ceremony officially ended, the Hua Guo group got on the bus and returned to their residence.
·
After this incident, Shui Yiyao became famous in the industry. Everyone knew that there was a young and beautiful jade carver named Chengdao Jade Carving in China. Most importantly, she had a very steady hand and outstanding skills.
When people in the industry at home and abroad mention her, they all call her a jade carving genius.
When people outside the entertainment industry in China mention her, they tend to praise her as the "best idol". After all, she was first known in the entertainment industry as an idol.
In an interview after a jade carving competition, the host specifically asked Shui Yiyao, who had won the gold medal again, what she thought of the title.
"Best Idol?" Shui Yiyao was quite surprised by the host's words. She smiled and replied, "I'm flattered. I feel like I'm just doing my job and I really don't deserve the title."
She smiled again and raised the gold trophy in her hand: "But since everyone is so kind to me, I will try my best to work hard and get closer to this title."
[Extra: Jade Silk Clothes]
After some time, the drug experiment of the genetic drug "Landing Drug" that allows ordinary sea people to set foot on land has come to an end. The volunteers of various tribes have passed the drug experiment safely, and the "Landing Drug" has been officially put into use.
Ao Li prepared housing and suitable jobs for people of each tribe.
Including mermaids.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, in Shui Yiyao's studio, she was packing up and getting ready to go off work.
Ao Li stood by and waited for her to finish work.
Ao Li: "Madam, you take a rest. I will go to pick up the Great Elder in the evening."
"Let's go together." Shui Yiyao raised her eyes and looked at Ao Li, her hands moving non-stop, holding a dress in one hand and a dust mask in the other.
"You rest at home, I'll go. By the way," Ao Li reached out to help her hold the dust cover so that it would be more convenient for her to put clothes in. He asked, "Yuyu, how is your jade silk dress going?"
The dress they were trying on was a brilliant white, and under the light, it also shone with a light pink, shimmering and radiant, like a dream, extremely beautiful. Although the dress had a strong luster, its color was subtle and restrained, like a jade pendant immersed in spring water, elegant and beautiful.
Therefore it is called "Jade Silk Clothes".
This is a mermaid silk garment woven by the mermaids. Shui Yiyao hired a designer to create the blueprints, and the mermaids then made it according to the blueprints.
After hearing that the sea creatures could take medicine and come ashore, Shui Yiyao came up with an idea.
All tribes were looking for suitable jobs, and some even went to work as animals at the Ao's Aquarium. But mermaids couldn't go to the aquarium, so she thought, in fact, the mermaids could make a living by selling clothes.
She promised the eldest princess of the mermaid tribe that she would make the mermaids prosperous, but she felt that relying solely on her making money and then sharing it with them would not be considered wealthy. They must have a reliable livelihood.
Although she had originally agreed with the Grand Princess that she would use this body in exchange for her working for the mermaids, it was a deal. As long as the mermaids were wealthy, the money would be paid.
But in the final analysis, it is a grace that saved lives. Only by bringing the mermaids to the road of prosperity can we be worthy of the princess.
So she has been thinking about what kind of livelihood the mermaids can do.
Finally, I thought of Jiao Xiao.
Under Ao Li's supervision, she has been wearing the mermaid dress all this time, even during live broadcasts, and many comments in the live broadcasts were praising the beautiful clothes.
Even several famous fashion brands noticed it and came to ask her about the source of the fabrics of her clothes and expressed their willingness to cooperate.
This can make money.
However, it was not suitable for the mermaids to work alone now. Without a brand, no matter how good the clothes were, they would not be able to sell at a high price. So she decided to cooperate with one of the big brands. The big brand would provide the design and pattern making, and the mermaids would use mermaid silk to make the clothes.
Once Jiao Xiao is officially launched into the market and accepted by the market, we can go it alone.
The dress in her hand was made by the mermaids according to the pattern of a big brand.
The products will be sent to the inspection department, and if they pass the inspection, they will be delivered to see how they perform on the market. This is what she has been mainly busy with recently.
"How's it going?" Shui Yiyao continued to put the clothes in her hand into the dust cover, and looked back at Ao Li: "Mr. Ao, this is the third time you ask me today." He asked me once when he went out in the morning, and asked me again during lunch break.
"Will you ask me again after you go to bed tonight?"
Ao Li raised an eyebrow: "Third time?"
"Of course not." Shui Yiyao carefully hung the clothes in the closet, closed the closet and locked it.
She told Ao Li that as long as the mermaids were settled and they found a way to get rich, they would hold a wedding ceremony. So Ao Li began to ask Yu Siyi about her three times a day.
Ao Li thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the third time.
"This is a serious matter," he explained. "I thought you had reached an agreement with them."
"That's not that easy. They're very smart over there. The clothes are no problem. We're still discussing the profit sharing. Once we reach an agreement, I'll give them the clothes and sign the contract."
Shui Yiyao put the wardrobe key into her handbag and said, "Let's go home."
Ao Li took her hand and walked out the door while looking at her and asked, "Do you want me to arrange for someone to help you talk?"
Shui Yiyao held his hand in return: "No, don't get involved in the affairs of the mermaids. I'm almost done with it."
It wasn't that she was being polite to Ao Li, it was because the mermaids still didn't understand him very well, especially the Great Elder, who always felt that Ao Li had ulterior motives. If Ao Li interfered in this matter again, who knew what the Great Elder would think.
Especially when she returned to the Sea Clan before, the Great Elder saw the ring on her hand and the necklace on her neck, and his face turned dark.
He asked Shui Yiyao why she secretly became the wife of the Jiao clan leader without discussing it with him, and whether she was deceived.
Shui Yiyao could only explain that she and Ao Li were in a free love relationship and were financially independent of each other, and she was not deceived or kidnapped by Ao Li.
It wasn't until he showed the Great Elder the certificate they had obtained in China that he felt somewhat relieved. With an official certificate, it was at least legitimate and, to a certain extent, guaranteed.
Shui Yiyao then brought up the matter of the mermaid gene-breeding drug. When the Great Elder learned that Ao Li was truly willing to have mermaid babies with Shui Yiyao, not dragons, he was skeptical, suspecting Ao Li was playing dirty tricks. Then Shui Yiyao produced a certificate with the laboratory's official seal, proving they were not lying.
Upon learning that this medicine could truly make the mermaids give birth to only little mermaids, the Great Elder was so excited that he couldn't sleep for three days. Even so, he wasn't completely relieved. Although he stopped speaking ill of Ao Li, he still seemed wary.
Hearing that his wife rejected his request, Ao Li did not continue to ask. His wife said it would definitely be soon, but he could not wait any longer.
They're still one wedding away.
But Yuyu was obsessed with the idea of leading the mermaid tribe back on the right path in order to repay the mermaid princess's kindness and get married with him.
He felt that with Yuyu's management, the mermaids would definitely become wealthy, it was just a matter of time. But Yuyu refused to listen and insisted on seeing the mermaids become wealthy before she would announce it to him.
There's no other way, of course I have to support my wife.
Although he couldn't wait, seeing those netizens on the forum and in the live broadcast room calling Yu Yu "wife" every day, he wanted to hold a wedding and announce to the world in a grand manner that she was obviously his wife.
But I have to admit that his wife's approach is right. She does what she says, is affectionate and loyal, and very lovely.
After leaving the house, the two decided to walk home. Shui Yiyao's studio was not far from their home, only less than half an hour away.
At ten o'clock, the streets were lit by streetlights on both sides, and there were a few cars and people on the street. The two walked under the warm yellow light, casting a pair of shadows walking side by side, very close to each other. Just like any ordinary couple.
Shui Yiyao raised her head slightly, looked at Ao Li's profile, and smiled softly: "Don't worry, it will be soon, just in the next two days."
Ao Li looked at her, met her gaze, and seeing the warm light reflected in her eyes, he couldn't help but smile and nodded.
"good."
Ao Li held Shui Yiyao's hand, and his heart softened.
There’s no need to wait. Anyway, it’s only these two days.
Can't escape.
