Chapter 208 An Unknown Omen
"So, are you making fun of me?" Ning Xia said to Cheng Shuo with displeasure on his face.Although this apprenticeship seems to be Ningxia's impulse, it is actually a problem that she has thought of for a long time. She is cheating in the aspect of betting on stones. People can understand if she bets on the best jadeite once or twice. If it happens every time It would be strange if others didn't suspect it, so she thought that if she gambled on the top-quality jadeite in the future, it would be best to process it herself to reduce other people's suspicions.And she is not overwhelmed with art, she entered the jade industry and learned how to process jade, which is by no means a worthless thing.

Cheng Shuo hurriedly shook his head and said no, he hesitated for a while before he said, "It's fine for me to be your teacher, don't perform such a heavy ceremony of apprenticeship, it is said that a teacher for one day will be a father for the rest of his life, I... I I'm not married yet, so I don't want to..." After finishing speaking, Cheng Shuo blushed, he was a young man who was bowed down by a girl, what's the matter?No one has the cheek to really accept this gift of apprenticeship.

Seeing that Cheng Shuo blushed in embarrassment, Ning Xia could probably understand how embarrassed Cheng Shuo was, so she didn't insist on it, just talking about herself, kneeling down and saluting to the person in front of her who was no older than herself, and she felt in her heart The head will also feel awkward.Seeing that Cheng Shuo promised to teach her jade carving skills and not allow her to perform such a big apprentice ceremony, she is also happy to take this step.

However, there are rules and regulations, and they want to let others sincerely teach their skills. Ningxia also knows that the ceremony of bowing to the teacher can be avoided, but the gift that the teacher should respect is indispensable.That is equivalent to the tuition fee for apprenticeship.

If you talk about money directly with Cheng Shuo, he will definitely disdain it. Ningxia finally thought of using the gold-threaded red jadeite as a gift. Cheng Shuo may not be rare for other jadeites. light.

Since it is a gift, it must be in pairs, which is both auspicious and sincere. However, she is reluctant to let Ningxia send Cheng Shuo a pair of golden silk and red jadeite bracelets. It is not yet known whether Cheng Shuo will be sincere. Teach her that it would be a bit of a waste to give such an expensive bracelet, so Ningxia's goal is only on the pair of golden silk and red jadeite jade plaques and adornments.The pair of pendants are hollowed out and carved. On the surface, it seems that the jade material is not used much, but it is not only expensive, but also labor-intensive. Ningxia still likes the pair of pendants. After thinking about it, she decided to make the pair of dragon and phoenix. Give Cheng Shuo the jade plaque with the same pattern.

When Cheng Shuo received this valuable jade card from Ningxia, he pretended that he was unwilling to accept such an expensive gift from Ningxia, but he accepted it only after Ningxia insisted on giving it to him.

In this way, Ningxia became Cheng Shuo's apprentice.I don't know if it's because of the acceptance of Ningxia's pair of top-quality gold-thread jadeite jade cards, or because Cheng Shuo is such a talkative person in his bones. He taught Ningxia very carefully and was very strict. A strict teacher who produces high apprentices.

Any skill is easy to say but difficult to learn. There is nothing in the world that can be accomplished overnight. Ningxia spent a month, and the result is to carve a dragon that she said was a dragon, but others did not. It looks like a strange thing.When Xiang Toon saw the finished product in Ningxia, he couldn't help laughing.

Ningxia blushed and was so embarrassed, it was Cheng Shuo who encouraged her and said, "I learned it from elementary school and learned it for more than ten years before I have the skill I have now. If you learn it for a month, you can learn it like this. Really good."

Ning Xia nodded, she also knew that it was a genius thing to be able to learn art in a month, and a stupid bird like her still had to study hard day after day.However, Ningxia still learns about the same things as picking materials, processing bracelets, and jewelry polishing. These kinds of crafts are all assisted by modern machines, and there are no particularly complicated technological processes.

Ningxia used her own piece of ice-grown jadeite to make a pair of bracelets for the Chinese toon and the simplest safety buckle for the grasshopper. It's snot and tears, don't mention how long and disgusting the snot is.

Seeing the grasshopper's exaggerated appearance, Ningxia really felt incredible, and exclaimed, "God, I wonder if I gave you something that can live forever, look at me you are so grateful, it seems that I am like It's like your re-parents."

Grasshopper immediately clarified, "It's all caused by the toon. You put onion juice in my eyes..."

Ning Xia raised her forehead violently, so that's the case, thanks to her being so excited by them, it turned out it was all fake.

Seeing that his stuff was exposed, Xiang Toon kicked the grasshopper angrily, and scolded him, "You bastard who has more success than failure, why didn't you give birth to a pig."

Afraid that the two of them would fight again, Ning Xia hurriedly pulled Xiang Toon aside and said, "Okay, I know you want to make me happy. I accept your wishes."

Xiang Toon turned to Ning Xia with some distress, "I really don't know what you are thinking, why did you suddenly want to learn jade carving? Our Nie family has many famous jade carving masters, how can you do it yourself? If Chen Shao I don't know how distressed I am when I see your beautiful hands covered in blisters and calluses." After speaking, she picked up Ning Xia's hand and wanted to see what Ning Xia's hand had become, but when she Seeing that Ningxia's hands are still as beautiful as before, without any blisters or calluses, she was surprised to say "huh" and said that it was strange that there were no calluses.

Ningxia smiled and said that she has taken good care of herself. In fact, learning jade carving is a hand-to-hand job. How could it not cause blisters and calluses? However, she used Lingquan water to heal the blisters on her hands at night. After soaking in the spring water, the hands that have been tortured during the day will become white and tender as before.

Hearing what Ning Xia said, Xiang Toon hurriedly asked her what kind of cosmetics she used for maintenance?She also went to buy.

Ningxia couldn't answer, so she simply said, "I prepared it myself. We have secret skin care recipes at home."

Xiang Toon exclaimed, "God, you still have such good skills, so give me some too." Girls, who doesn't like cosmetics, who doesn't want to make their skin beautiful?

Ningxia knew that Toon would not give up until she took out something to fool her, so she bought a sub-bottling for cosmetics, and then bought a random brand of lotion, mixed it with spring water, put it in a sub-bottle, and handed it over to her. Give the toon, so that the toon will be sent away.

However, Ningxia has started to feel in a trance these days.

When she was learning jade carving, she was too busy to think about anything else. After being reminded by Xiang Toon that day, she suddenly realized that Nie Chen had already been to Burma for a long time, and it was supposed to be back by now. Why hasn’t there been any news yet? Woolen cloth?
One day, when Cheng Shuo was teaching Ning Xia the basics of hollow carving, he saw that Ning Xia was constantly distracted. He thought that Ning Xia was not feeling well, and said, "If you are not feeling well, don't learn today."

Ningxia regained her composure, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm really a little distracted, and I don't know why, but I'm always flustered." She also knew that Cheng Shuo was usually very busy, and would spend time every day It is really rare to teach her how to sculpt for a few hours, but today she is really disappointed. For some reason, her eyelids are twitching, her heart is in a mess, and she always feels as if something is about to happen.

Cheng Shuo looked at her worriedly, and said, "Then let's come here today, there is no rush for anything."

"I'm sorry, I just can't concentrate today." Ning Xia said apologetically, the phone rang just as she finished speaking, and after answering the call, she heard Xiang Toon's crying voice, and she felt a sudden "thump" in her heart Xiang, I don't know why, but the first thing I thought about was something wrong with Nie Chen?
"I just got the news that half a month ago... Young Master Chen, our Chairman, and Chairman Ning, were visiting an emerald mine in Myanmar when the mine suddenly collapsed. They..."

When Ningxia heard this, her head hummed, as if a heavy hammer had hit her head, gold stars splashed in front of her eyes, she slid off the chair all of a sudden, and fell to the cold ground.

"Ningxia..." Cheng Shuo's face changed drastically when he was frightened by Ningxia's sudden appearance. He rushed to her and hugged her, only to see Ningxia's big, dark and clear eyes, and he just froze. She stared blankly, but without focus, her lips were blue, and her face was as pale as snow.

"What's wrong? Ningxia? Don't scare me..." For some reason, it seemed as if a hand had pulled something from his heart, and Cheng Shuo felt a pain in his heart that he didn't know why.

After a long time, Ning Xia seemed to have just crawled out of a huge vortex. She shouted the name "Nie Chen" repeatedly at the top of her lungs, and then with such strength that Cheng Shuo found it incredible, she broke away from Cheng Shuo suddenly, and then went to She ran outside the door, but before she could reach the door, her limp and weak legs made her fall hard to the ground again, her mouth slammed into the hard marble floor, causing blood to flow out of her mouth immediately It flowed out, but she didn't know the pain at all, she didn't have the strength to stand up, so she crawled to the outside, and in the bloody mouth, she kept murmuring a person's name.

Nie Chen.

Cheng Shuo rushed in front of Ning Xia in three steps at a time, and half-embraced her from the ground to prevent her from continuing to crawl out. At this moment, he only wanted to calm down Ning Xia. Go away, he doesn't care what happened, he only knows that he can't let Ningxia have an accident!This is a master's most basic concern for his disciples, and this is how he firmly believes.

"Let go of me..." Ning Xia struggled like crazy, trying to get out of Cheng Shuo's arms, but Cheng Shuo hugged her desperately, refusing to let go no matter what.

The irrational Ningxia couldn't grab Cheng Shuo's hand, so she bit Cheng Shuo's arm with her teeth anxiously, but let her bite Cheng Shuo's cold sweat from the pain, and Cheng Shuo still hugged her tightly. Let go.

"Ningxia, calm down, listen to me..."
