I surrender.
Ge Sheng said it was a matter of course.
A high-class horse versus a middle-class horse, and a medium-class horse versus a low-class horse.
As for inferior horses versus superior horses, there is no need to compete.
That's why Ge Sheng is obsessed with winning the first oath. Only in this way can he calmly face the next competition.
As for the actual fight with Ge Lian, Ge Sheng had no such plan before Ge Lian took action, and after he took action, Ge Sheng had no idea at all.
"It's really straightforward." Ge Lian clapped softly: "There is no chance for me to leave any mark. So, is it the third oath?"
"That's right." Ge Sheng nodded.
In the imperial oath one hundred and ten years ago, martial arts was the fourth oath, and the winner was Emperor Shuhua. But that battle was a protracted showdown lasting seven hours.
At this time, it only takes a few breaths.
Ge Sheng returned to Fengmian Villa at four quarters past noon. It was already afternoon and it would be dark in another hour at most. After all, the nights were long in late autumn.
In any case, he still used various means to delay enough time for this villa.
The third oath is jade fighting.
The Lanye Empire has valued jade since ancient times. It is said that there are ten points of jade in the world, and eight points are all in orchid leaves. Therefore, the style of jade fighting has been popular in the world since ancient times. If a big family does not have an heirloom jade to suppress their luck, they will be considered The background is not good, and the quality of this jade determines the strength and status of this family.
Therefore, the custom of fighting jade has had a unique environment for survival in this empire since ancient times.
"Jade fight?" Ge Lian smiled lightly: "I came in a hurry and didn't bring any good jade. I only have a piece of jade with me. I will show off my shame to my cousin Haihan."
Ge Lian shook his head: "My jade is still hidden in the village. Give me a quarter of an hour and I will get it."
"Okay, but no one else here can leave." Ge Lian said.
So Ge Sheng walked out of the living room. Ever since Ge Lian arrived, the entire villa had been deserted, except for the white cat that came and settled down from nowhere and lay on the wall and glanced at him lazily.
He turned a few corners and walked straight into An Ning's room. This was a boudoir place where outsiders were not allowed to enter, but he was an exception. Unscrew the third-party paperweight on the left side of the table, and a hidden slot slowly rises in the center of the square huanghuali wooden table. In the hidden slot is a small brocade box wrapped in red silk.
Ge Sheng untied the red silk and opened the brocade box, only to see a bunch of purple grapes lying there quietly.
That's not grapes, it's jade.
The purple jade grape carved from the most precious violet jadeite is An Ning’s only dowry.
If you really want to convert it in money, this bunch of grapes can buy half of Lanyin City.
That's why Ge Sheng is so confident in Jade Dou, because he has had absolute confidence in this jade since the beginning. The Ge family's heirloom jade is a broken ice jade Ruyi, which he can see every time he worships his ancestors. Although it is also a rare and beautiful jade, it is far different from this bunch of purple jade grapes.
What's more, the family heirloom jade will not be used for jade competition by a junior like Ge Lian.
Ge Sheng took the brocade box and hurried back. Just half a moment later, Ge Lian saw the brocade box in Ge Sheng's hand and raised his eyebrows, "Did you bring it?"
Ge Sheng nodded.
"It seems that my cousin is very confident." Ge Lian chuckled.
Naturally confident, Ge Sheng had never been so confident before. He held down the brocade box and looked at Ge Lian: "Who comes first?"
"I'm afraid that after I take out the jade, my cousin won't have the courage to show it." Ge Sheng used the title cousin for the first time, and he was so proud for the first time: "So, cousin please go first."
"So confident." Ge Lian shook his head: "I'm really scared."
Saying this, he casually took off a piece of jade from his waist, raised his hand and threw it to Ge Sheng: "This is my jade."
Ge Sheng raised his hand to take it and took a closer look.
White jade, this is a jade carved from white jade, simply tied with a cyan ribbon. If you observe carefully, you can see that there are traces of engraving on one side of the jade, but it is not obvious, as if it is made of a piece of original inscribed stone. The big jade was dismantled into jade, but the master who disassembled the jade did not dismantle it well.
In terms of material, this piece of jade is top-notch mutton-fat white jade, which is white and flawless, warm and crystal clear. Such a piece of jade can easily buy half of the street in Lanyin City. It is natural to have confidence in fighting with such jade.
But in terms of carving, the jade is round and simple. This piece of jade is simply rounded and polished. There is no trace of pattern or carving on the whole jade, so it can't be added to it at all.
Therefore, Ge Sheng became more and more certain that Ge Lian would definitely fall into trouble this time - because he never thought that Fengmian Villa was so powerful that it also contained rare gems like purple jade grapes.
Thinking like this, Ge Sheng nodded and placed the jade on the ground - this is the rule for playing with jade, no one comes and goes to avoid accidents and it is difficult to separate the responsibilities. However, there is no intact table and chair in this room. Although Ge Sheng threw the jade away when he gave it to him, indicating that he didn't care much about the jade, when Ge Sheng returned it, he still had to follow the rules.
Thinking like this, Ge Sheng slowly untied the red silk outside the brocade box and took out his trump card.
As soon as Ge Lian stretched out his hand, the piece of jade bounced off the ground and fell into his hand. He turned the jade over, watched Ge Sheng's movements, and said with a smile: "Cousin, wait a minute, this piece of jade has another origin, wait and see. I’ll talk about the previous one.”
Ge Sheng couldn't help but stop, and Xiao Jiu next to him frowned.
When she looked at the jade just now, her expression was not as relaxed as Ge Sheng's.
Even if Ge Sheng didn't want to listen, he still had to listen to Ge Lian's words, because he was not the one who could make the decision in this room. Ge Lian played with the seemingly ordinary mutton-fat jade in his hand and said, "This piece of jade is a gadget I bought in exchange for nine gold-leaf grasses in the market in Lanyin."
Ge Sheng's eyes widened: "But it's worth at least a thousand golden leaves."
"Yes, at least a thousand pieces of gold." Ge Lian did not expect Ge Sheng to know the goods so well, and couldn't help but said proudly: "That seller is too shrewd. He felt that the color of this piece of jade was too new, and the engraving was simple and vigorous, and it had a thousand-year charm. But depending on the grinding and playing with it, He found out that the jade was no more than a hundred years old. The jade was too new, the calligraphy was too old, but the material was too good, so he became suspicious and asked a few experts to look at it. The experts agreed with him. If, they all thought it was a deliberately old gadget, and there was no carving, so they were afraid that there might be something wrong with the jade material. So the seller offered a hundred gold price, but I cut off 90% of it."
Ge Lian said very proudly, and Ge Sheng also understood how proud he was. I'm afraid there aren't many pieces of such top-quality nephrite in the world, so everyone who saw it didn't believe it was really such top-quality material, so he picked one up. Leakage, making a hundred times the profit, anyone would be proud of such a thing,
However, this kind of pride may not be over yet.
"Yes, I'm very proud." Ge Lian said with a smile: "After I bought this piece of jade, I looked over it several times and couldn't decide. It happened that I went to Ye Ye City to take the exam that year, so I bought this piece of jade. I asked a big shot in the academy to see the jade, and the big shot told me the shocking origin of this piece of jade."
"It is a fragment of the jade seal passed down from the country."
