C1475 Marry of the Wealthy Class 1403
When she had breakfast with him for the first time, she felt a little uncomfortable. At that moment, the phone she kept in her clothes rang.
"Hello."
"Yi Yi, good morning. Am I Xia Yihan? Do you have time today? If you have time, can you accompany me to pick gems? " On the phone, Xia Yihan's voice was very pleasant to hear.
Ding Yiyi excitedly held her phone and said a few words of "good" several times. After she hung up the phone, the awkwardness of the morning had disappeared, leaving her filled with excitement.
"Teacher Xia called me." She looked at Ye Nianmo, who was looking at her gently, and hesitated, "Sorry, I might need some time to get used to it."
A hand grabbed her fingers, which were curled up due to nervousness. Ye Nianmo said in a faint but gentle voice, "Take your time."
After eating a simple breakfast, Ding Yiyi thought that he would bring her to Ye Family, so she felt a little uneasy while sitting in the car. To her, Ye Family was a place that made her feel a little uncomfortable, no matter if it was the passionate servants or Fu Fengyi who always wanted to find a woman for Ye Nianmo.
The car stopped in front of a coffee shop. She looked at him doubtfully. "Is it here?"
As soon as she finished her sentence, she saw Xia Yihan raise a hand towards her in the coffee shop.
"Go." Ye Nianmo said softly, "Have a good time."
When she got out of the car and was about to walk into the café, she heard the sound of the car leaving and subconsciously turned her head to look, just in time to see him looking at her intently.
A car drove away from his car and gradually drove away. Ding Yiyi pushed the door open awkwardly.
She stood in front of Xia Yihan, unsure whether she should call her mother or Teacher Xia.
"You can call me Teacher Xia if you feel embarrassed." Xia Yihan looked lovingly at the girl in front of her. A life without memories was truly sad.
Ding Yiyi looked at her gratefully. "Teacher Xia."
"Let's go." Ding Yiyi picked up her handbag and smiled at her. After the two of them went out, a man got out of a black car. He immediately opened the door for Xia Yihan when he saw her.
Ding Yiyi's heart was filled with warmth as she got in the car. She probably didn't need to wait for him here because she was worried that he wouldn't feel comfortable while she was at Ye Family. Therefore, she had specially arranged to stay outside.
As the car drove on, the interior was very quiet. Xia Yihan was the first to speak.
"It's all in the painting stage. I want to move the flowers onto the ring." Ding Yiyi said her thoughts shyly, afraid that she would embarrass herself with her little tricks. She didn't expect the other party to be so interested.
Xia Yihan thought for a moment. "You mean to merge the flowers into the jewels?" Excited, she took out a pen and paper from her bag and drew a few strokes on the paper according to her thoughts.
"You mean something like that?" She handed the paper to Ding Yiyi.
Ding Yiyi took a look and saw that the ring was round and lifelike. Although it only had a few strokes, it was indeed very beautiful. She sincerely praised, "Compared to teacher, my drawing skills really need improvement."
"Very well, I've thought of that before." When Xia Yihan smiled, her face was curved and her eyes curved. She did not put on any airs, just like a seventeen or eighteen year old little girl who had received her first bottle of perfume in her life.
The two of them found something in common, and they started chatting unknowingly until the car arrived.
The car stopped in a quiet little courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was designed in a very simple manner. It was a dark red carved gate, and on the wall, there were four protruding horns.
When they entered the yard, they saw two men. The man seemed to be very familiar with Ding Yiyi and greeted her naturally. Ding Yiyi recognized one of the men as someone she had seen on TV.
"Hello, you're here to pick a stone again? If we knew you were coming, we would have waited a bit. The stone Teacher Xia picked was always unexpectedly good." One of the men said as he shook hands with Xia Yihan.
Xia Yihan had a smile on her face. She had heard these words for more than ten years. She knew how to filter out whether the other party was sincere or not. She also knew what to say to make the other party feel even more comfortable.
"There's no need for that. Mr Gong is a master at playing with stones. The jewelry you made from the last stone has an excellent texture. It just so happens that it's being sent to your wife."
When the man heard this, his expression relaxed even more. He continued to let out candid laughter. "The designer of the Xia family is really too polite."
Ding Yiyi stood silently beside Xia Yihan. When the man's gaze stopped on her, he gave her a polite smile.
"This is?" The man sized her up. There were very few people who could enter this place. After all, people of status didn't want strangers watching them while they were paying a huge price.
Xia Yihan leaned slightly to let Ding Yiyi see, "Emily."
"Hello." Ding Yiyi had already remembered who the other party was, but she was hesitating whether she should use his name or not. After thinking for a while, she said, "I've been paying attention to your news recently. It's great to be able to see you today."
The man gave her an appreciative glance and even patted her shoulder, "Young people are not bad, speaking calmly. Designer Xia, is this your daughter?"
"Not at all." Xia Yihan smiled gently. Right at this moment, a strange sound rang out from all directions, as if it was the sound of someone knocking on a jade artifact.
Xia Yihan and the man didn't seem surprised. The man nodded at her. "I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."
After the man had left, Xia Yihan led Ding Yiyi deeper into the courtyard, where the whole scene was gradually revealed. The entire courtyard was divided into two sections, one on the left and the other on the right.
The structures on the left and right were similar to those of the courtyard houses in Beijing, except that they were joined by a red stone arch bridge over a flowing pond.
In the pond, gold and white, red carp were swimming back and forth.
Xia Yihan first brought Ding Yiyi to the house on the left. Just as they walked a few steps, they heard another crisp bell ring out. Ding Yiyi felt that Xia Yihan was slightly faster.
There were already five to six people in the room. These six people weren't unfamiliar to anyone in any industry. What made Ding Yiyi more curious were the three rows of stones inside the room.
Ding Yiyi knew that this was a popular gambling stone, and these unremarkable stones were all made of wool. When the jadeite was mined, it had a layer of weathered leather bag, which was why it was used by many stone gamblers. Some of them became rich overnight because of the stone gambling, while others went bankrupt because they spent a lot of money to buy a piece of inferior wool.
She saw a lot of people sitting in the armchair, most of them potbellied and with a look of authority on their faces, while others bent over to knock on stones and observe the texture of them with magnifying glasses.
The surroundings were very quiet. Most of the people who knew him would nod their heads after meeting him, afraid that they would affect the others who were looking at the stone. They were even more afraid that the others would affect their own viewing of the stone.
Xia Yihan nodded in greeting to each of the people sitting before bringing Ding Yiyi over to Rock and said in a low voice, "Pick one yourself."
"Well, I'm not sure how to choose." Ding Yiyi told the truth. She knew that the stones were not cheap.
Xia Yihan said sincerely, "It's alright. Treat her normally. I know you have always been a lucky child."
She patted her shoulder, then bent down and took the flashlight from the other man to examine it.
Ding Yiyi looked at the unassuming stones in front of her. She thought to herself, so many of Xia Yihan's jewelry were obtained from gambling stones. No wonder there were so many that could not meet the demand.
She looked around and really didn't know how to choose. She picked a round stone that weighed a few pounds based on her senses. On the other side, Xia Yihan also picked her own stone.
Very soon, someone came over to help them take the stone away. After greeting the surrounding people, Xia Yihan followed another staff member behind the scenes.
Ding Yiyi followed and saw the price on the stone. Xia Yihan chose a rock with three hundred thousand yuan on it, and the rock she chose was eighty thousand.
Soon someone was helping them move the stone away, and she knew it was time to cut it. Sure enough, Xia Yihan made a face with her and the two of them came out from the house on the left and went straight to the house on the right.
The room on the right was much more crowded than the room on the left, but the expression was much more serious. When they went there, they just happened to be in time to find a stone being cut. A man in Tang suit was sitting there holding his breath.
Ding Yiyi stood quietly by the side with Xia Yihan. The dozen or so people at the scene did not make a sound, only the sound of a machine cutting.
"There's green, there's green." Someone shouted. Ding Yiyi saw that man let out a deep breath and the smile on his face became genuine.
He stood up and cupped his hands in a gesture of acceptance and blessing to those around him. The others didn't say anything. This kind of stone gambling could not be said for too long. Once jade appeared, it would be taken away to be meticulously cut to prevent those who wanted to pick it up already having the intention of being a criminal.
The man happily left. Several people at the scene recognized Ding Yiyi, "Teacher Xia, you've come. The jade from last time was really great, but in the end, I didn't see any finished products. My wife originally wanted to buy them for collection, but in the end, she didn't have the chance!"
Xia Yihan's tone carried an apologetic tone. "You're too kind. It's just that we don't have enough strength left in our hearts right now. After this batch of designs is completed, we welcome your wife to come and pick."
The man knew that her jewelry was for the royal family of Italy, and such a promise was extremely precious. He immediately smiled and nodded his head, and without another word, he extended his hand to signal for her to back away.0
The jade cutter took Ding Yiyi's stone and, under Xia Yihan's instructions, began cutting it. In an instant, an ear-piercing sound was heard.
Ding Yiyi finally understood why the man at the beginning was so nervous. Her palms were still sweaty, and she couldn't help but become nervous as the stone was cut open.
