Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh yellow umbrella
"See you in court tomorrow."
Bai Suzhen didn't even look back, and lightly moved her steps to leave the courtyard here.
"Hmph, my young lady will not make umbrellas with that Bai Suzhen. The umbrellas made by my young lady are unparalleled in the world." Nanzhu said to Xiaoman unconvinced.
"Tch, my master is very good at making umbrellas, and I don't want to make umbrellas with your golden phoenix." Xiao Man said while kicking the stones at his feet into the pool and puffing out his cheeks.
"Okay, then none of us will help anyone else. Let's see whose umbrella is the prettiest."
"Okay, it's a deal!" The two little guys made their agreement by the pool.
When Xiaoman got up the next day, Bai Suzhen was no longer in the room. Xiaoman rubbed his eyes, walked out of the room, turned a corner, and saw Bai Suzhen immersed in drawing something.
"Ah? The emperor has decreed that the two families can make umbrellas together?"
"Yes, I don't know why, but the emperor gave the order after seeing my young lady this morning."
"You liar, didn't you say you wouldn't make an umbrella with my master? You liar!"
"You think I do? I don't want to make an umbrella with your family!" Xiaoman pushed Nanzhu away angrily and started to run out.
"Xiao Man, come here and take a look at the umbrella I want to make!" Bai Suzhen grabbed Xiao Man and pulled Xiao Man to the edge of the table.
"Don't look, don't look!" Xiaoman tried desperately to break away, but was tightly held by Bai Suzhen.
"Stop making trouble!" Bai Suzhen suddenly exerted force on her hand and held down Xiaoman.
"No, you have never been cruel to me. This time you have been cruel to me twice when I came to the palace. I don't want to be an umbrella anymore. I want to go home. I want to go home!" Xiaoman twisted hard.
Want to break free.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoman, let's go home after we're done, okay?" Bai Suzhen coaxed Xiaoman and smiled apologetically at Xiaoman.
"Really? I want to go home and eat the fried frog you made." When Xiaoman heard that he was going home, he stopped making trouble.
"Come, let's take a look at my umbrella this time!" Bai Suzhen smiled and carried Xiaoman to the table.
"Wow, are we making such a beautiful umbrella this time?" Xiaoman looked at the picture scroll in front of the table. A huge, complicated and gorgeous umbrella appeared on the paper, with nine dragons intertwined and majestic.
"Yes, this yellow umbrella was given to me by Mr. Xu Xian back then. I want to make it this time."
"Miss, are we really going to do this this time?" Xiaoman also came over to look at the drawings and recognized the umbrella at a glance. It was Huang Luo, the umbrella that Miss had always wanted to make.
"Well, luckily I have your help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to make this umbrella by myself!" Bai Suzhen covered her chest and said softly.
"Miss, are you sick again? Miss, where do you feel better?" Xiaoman saw Bai Suzhen's appearance and rushed over to see her.
"Xiao Man, take out the medicine Mr. Xu gave us."
Bai Suzhen asked Xiaoman to take out a bottle of medicine from his backpack. Xiaoman quickly poured out one pill and gave it to Bai Suzhen.
The days of making umbrellas always go by very quickly. Although Xiaoman can't make a complete umbrella, he can still make umbrella ribs. The girl from the Bai family occasionally gives some advice. Although Xiaoman is not convinced, he follows it.
I did it, and it turned out to be better.
Umbrella ribs are easy to make, but the umbrella surface is difficult to draw. The umbrella surface of the yellow umbrella is not an ordinary item. It is neither silk nor satin, nor paper nor cloth. It is made of pure gold wire. Gold wire is easy to break. Every time
The roots had to be connected with great care. Bai Suzhen was quick with her hands, and with Xiaoman's meticulous help at the side, it was done within a week.
There are only 5 days until the day to hand over the umbrella. The umbrella surface is ready. The last step is to paint the umbrella surface. It is not easy to paint on gold silk. Ordinary dyes cannot leave traces on it. Xiaoman tried to paint it.
After two strokes, he became discouraged and ran away. Bai Suzhen also tried it, but gold was not afraid of evil spirits at all, and even after using evil techniques, it was quickly cracked and unable to leave any traces.
Bai Suzhen looked at the finished umbrella shape and said softly: "Go and rest, and leave the rest to me."
"Miss, your body..."
When Xiaoman was about to say something, Bai Suzhen waved her hand and said, "You should also go and rest. Everyone is tired these days. Don't worry, I know my own health." After saying that, she signaled Xiaoman to close the door.
, locked himself in the room.
"Master." Xiaoman looked at Bai Suzhen and wanted to say something.
Finally, it was the day to hand over the umbrella. This day was also an auspicious day. After the emperor took a bath and burned incense and offered sacrifices to his ancestors, he went to the Chongzheng Hall. In the main hall, Jin Feng and Bai Suzhen were already waiting in the hall.
At this time, Ye Long was also among them. Of course, Ye Long was taken there by his father, to be precise, Xu Xian's father.
As soon as Bai Suzhen came to the court, Ye Long recognized her. Isn't this Bixia Fairy who talked to me in reality? Is she really the demon saint Bai Suzhen? Then why did a demon saint come to compete with a group of mortals to make an umbrella?
Woolen cloth?
"Master Bai, Master Jin, please quickly present the tribute umbrella you made to me." The people on the dragon throne couldn't wait.
Jinfeng was about to hand over the umbrella when Bai Suzhen gently held it over and walked forward.
"Master, look at her..." Xiaoman looked at Bai Suzhen and almost cried.
"Xiaoman, don't talk. Miss Jinfeng has her own arrangements." Bai Suzhen gently tugged on Xiaoman's sleeve and pulled her behind her.
Jinfeng's umbrella was very gorgeous. The emperor was delighted when he saw it and said:
"This umbrella really has my royal style. It's a great umbrella."
After receiving the emperor's praise, Jinfeng looked at Bai Suzhen in the audience with amusement, while Ye Long looked at the two people in confusion.
"Everyone Bai, please bring up your umbrella." The eunuch on the side reminded Bai Suzhen.
"yes."
Bai Suzhen climbed the steps step by step with difficulty, walked to the emperor, and used almost all her strength to open the umbrella. When the umbrella was opened, it was filled with golden light.
"Wow~" All the ministers exclaimed in admiration, whispering to each other and praising this golden umbrella.
"Master, this umbrella is no different from the one we made five days ago. The umbrella surface is still unpainted." Xiaoman asked Bai Suzhen in a low voice when he saw the empty umbrella surface.
"Master Bai, is this the Huangluo you made?" The emperor looked at the dazzling umbrella and asked happily. "It is indeed a good umbrella, brilliant and magnificent!"
"Your Majesty, this is not the finished product yet. Huang Luo Umbrella still lacks one thing." Bai Suzhen said softly, "It still lacks a drop of dragon's blood."
"Dragon blood? Isn't that my blood?" The emperor was a little surprised.
"How is this possible, Bai Suzhen, you are committing rebellion, how can you want the blood of an official?" Upon hearing this, Jin Feng immediately stood up and accused Bai Suzhen.
