Chapter 463: Unique Secret Technique
Three carats is not a small amount, especially for a diamond. It is not even available in this dynasty. It would not be cheap if it is sold.
Of course, what surprised Jiang Youzhen the most was the ability to see in the dark. The previous reward was similar to the ability to hear the wind, but now the ability to see with both eyes has also been improved.
Jiang Youzhen immediately clicked to use it, and soon her eyes felt as if they were washed by a spring of water, very cool. She looked around and found that the colors of the surrounding scenery were much brighter than before.
Is there such a function? This time Jiang Youzhen did not feel any pain, on the contrary, he felt very comfortable.
"Then Jiang Jieyuan will win the prize this time! Jiang Jieyuan is worthy of being the champion of the provincial examination. Not only is he good at writing essays, he is also good at painting. He is a natural talent!"
At this time, Sun Shengqing stepped forward and said a few nice words. Lord Jiang had just been rejected by Jiang Youzhen, and he was a little embarrassed, so naturally he couldn't say anything.
The third prince nodded, and under the envious gazes of the crowd, Jiang Youzhen asked Qing Lang to stand behind him holding the tray.
"Thank you all for your rewards, and thank you all for your kindness!" Jiang Youzhen bowed to everyone.
Although she didn't care about this little money, she would naturally not be polite if it was given for free.
"I didn't expect Jiang Jieyuan's painting to be so superb. I'll have a chance to discuss with Jieyuan someday." Zhu Yanqing looked unhappy, but he was a juren after all, so naturally he had to save face.
As for Ke Zhenqiu, he had already walked over with a wine cup in hand.
"Jiang Jieyuan, I have learned a lot today. You are worthy of being the first in the provincial examination. But I have a question. I wonder if Jiang Jieyuan can answer it."
Jiang Youzhen smiled and said, "Mr. Ke, please speak."
"Just now, Jiang Jieyuan used water and fire to make the beauty in the painting appear. I wonder what method Jiang Jieyuan used? And it was so agile and there was no abruptness at all."
In fact, everyone was very curious about this, but if Jiang Youzhen didn't say it, they wouldn't ask too much. Maybe this was his unique secret technique? Why would he tell you?
But now that someone asked, they naturally pricked up their ears.
The third prince was also interested. "Yes! Why did it appear after using water and fire? And the painting was not damaged. It was more like oil paper, which is impervious to water and fire."
Jiang Youzhen smiled and turned to look at Princess Changsui, "Please open the painting again!"
Princess Changsui was a little confused, but still ordered people to open it. However, the next moment, the princess was stunned.
"This? The five senses and the third prince are missing again."
"Ahem! Junior brother, is this your unique secret skill?" Wen Ruyu glared at Ke Zhenqiu. Why didn't he realize that this cousin was so unruly before?
At present, only Jiang Youzhen knows the answer. Ke Zhenqiu asked this question in front of everyone. Should his junior brother tell the answer or not?
Jiang Youzhen gave Wen Ruyu a calming look, "It's not impossible to tell. This skill is very simple. I just need to add my own secret developer powder to the paint."
"What is developing powder?" Zhu Yanqing asked impatiently.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him. He was told that it was his secret recipe, so why was he still asking? Didn't he have any idea? The problem was that even if he asked Jiang Youzhen, he wouldn't be able to tell him!
But, they actually want to know too.
Jiang Youzhen shook his head and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but the developer powder was prepared by me using many herbs. The main ingredient is the Jiaming flower from the Western Regions, mixed with various herbs in a certain proportion."
"Jia Ming Flower? What kind of flower is it? I've never heard of it. And how did you get the Jia Ming Flower? And how did you know the recipe?" The third prince asked several questions in a row, with suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Youzhen is from Tongzhou Prefecture, which is far away from the Western Regions. Now the imperial court has not opened up trade, where did Jiang Youzhen get it from?
Where did you get it from? Of course it's just a lie! What is Kamei flower? That's a Kana flower.
Jiang Youzhen didn't know the ratio or main ingredient of the medicinal powder rewarded by the system.
Although she also knew two methods of manifestation, the effects were far inferior to this powder, and she could only barely recognize the words.
However, she really did not have the technology to make the colors of the paintings vivid, appear for half an hour at a time, and then hide again.
"I found an old book in a street vendor's shop, which recorded the wonderful uses of the jiaming flower. And I happened to get a dried flower by chance, ground it into powder, and after several blends, I finally got a little bit."
Jiang Youzhen said with a distressed look, "It's a pity that there is only a little left. A lot wasted before. I am painting today, and I want to let everyone enjoy it, so I took it out and used it."
Everyone immediately looked like, "I'm afraid you're just making this up. I'm afraid you're just making this up."
How could it be such a coincidence that I saw the secret recipe and then got the Jiaming flower? Who are you trying to fool?
"How could it be such a coincidence? If you don't want to tell it, then don't tell it. You are using these excuses to fool people." Zhu Yanqing muttered.
Although everyone thinks so, after all, this is someone else's secret technique, and it's not good to force them to reveal it, right?
"Master Zhu, I just said it was a secret technique. Master Zhu asked me again and again. Now that I have told you, Master Zhu doesn't believe it. There is nothing I can do."
Wen Ruyu glared at Ke Zhenqiu as he spoke. Ke Zhenqiu immediately touched his nose and dared not say a word.
"That can't fool us!" Zhu Yanqing was very dissatisfied. He didn't get any prize, and now he was being played like a monkey.
Jiang Youzhen sighed heavily, "I know you don't believe it, but I have no way to prove it."
If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it! Who cares if you believe it or not? Jiang Youzhen complained in his heart.
At this time, the third prince waved to the guards around him to come over. He whispered a few words and then glanced at Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen's ears twitched, and then he had an idea.
"In fact, I still have a little bit left, the size of a fingernail, but this kind of powder needs the right amount of water to mix. If Mr. Zhu wants it, I will give it to you."
As Jiang Youzhen spoke, he took out a small yellow paper package from the small box. Zhu Yanqing was immediately delighted, but everyone else looked surprised.
"Junior brother?" Wen Ruyu frowned. Why should he give it to this Zhu Yanqing? He had been bullying Jiang Youzhen.
Tong Huaian also spoke up to stop him, "Xiao Lang, didn't you say that there's only this much left? You should keep it for yourself!"
Everyone also expressed their opinions, "Actually, we are just curious."
Doesn't this mean they are forcing Jiang Youzhen to hand him over? Then who are they? Anyway, Jiang Youzhen has been given to Zhu Yanqing, so there is no benefit for them!
Several officials just watched the fire from the other side. This was a conflict between students. They would make enemies if they took sides. It was better to keep silent. Who knew where these students would go in the future? Anyway, they would not make a fuss as long as they could avoid offending anyone.
"Thank you very much, Jiang Jieyuan." Zhu Yanqing was thick-skinned, so how could he be embarrassed to take it?
When the time comes, I can create some hype and paint a picture, which will not only make me famous, but also sell it for a good price.
However, the cold voice of the next generation came and shattered his fantasy.
"Wait a minute! I want this powder."
