Chapter 20: Don't pretend
Qiu Ruyi thought to herself when she heard this, she thought to herself, so that's it. Li Shaodian asked me to pretend that Qiu Ruyi was for this thank-you gift, but I didn't know what the thank-you gift had to do with Li Shaodian.
She had always been very curious about Li Shaodian. Now that she saw that Li Shaodian pretending to be a book boy in front of the thank-you gift, she immediately became curious about Xie Li and glanced at Xie Li.
Qiu Ruyi's little look, how could Xie Li bear it? She couldn't help but lower her head and unconsciously played with Nan Guizhi in her hand.
Qiu Ruyi saw Nan Guizhi in Xie Li's hand, her face changed secretly, and she asked, "What is Mr. Xie holding in her hand? Can Ruyi take a look?"
Xie Li was about to answer, but found that he didn't know what it was, so he responded: "Of course." He stepped forward and handed the thing in his hand to Qiu Ruyi.
Qiu Ruyi didn't need to be carefully identified, and she was sure at a glance that this was the Nan Guizhi he gave to Li Shaodian, and said lightly: "This is Nan Guizhi."
"Ah! This is Nan Guizhi!" Du Chuan's eyes lit up suddenly and he asked, "Qiu, can this treasure be viewed by Du Mouyi?"
Qiu Ruyi smiled faintly, "This thing belongs to Mr. Xie, but the sir wants to ask Mr. Xie."
Xie Li was surprised when she heard this. When Du Chuan looked over, she nodded immediately and said, "Of course."
Du Chuan took Nan Guizhi from Qiu Ruyi and saw that the object was about three inches long and carved into the shape of Ruyi with three leaves and one flower. The surface was filled with a simple luster, but I don’t know what kind of wood it was.
It was weighed on the palm of your hand, and it felt heavy like a stone, but it felt a little heavier than agarwood. When you smell it, there was a scent that seemed to be there and there was a very pleasant feeling.
Du Chuan admired and was amazed. His vision was not comparable to thanking the gift. Legend has it that the southern guinea pig was folded by the immortal osmanthus tree in the moon. It has the miraculous effect of refreshing spirit, increasing wisdom and increasing memory. It is the most dream treasure that literati have always dreamed of.
Qiu Ruyi suddenly spoke: "I'm going to hide it from you. This thing was given to someone by me. Now it's in the hands of Mr. Xie, I'm very unhappy."
Xie Li instinctively looked back at Xie Fu after hearing this.
Xie Fu thought to himself: "Shen Zhien, what are you doing?"
Qiu Ruyi asked: "I wonder how it fell into the hands of the young master?"
Xie Li quickly turned several thoughts in his mind. He didn't know how his cousin got the Nan Guizhi. At this moment, he could not ask his cousin in detail and said perfunctorily: "Since Qiu is the original owner of Nan Guizhi, I will return the original owner today."
Qiu Ruyi sneered: "Very good."
Xie Li breathed a sigh of relief, and Du Chuan also echoed, "This treasure is better to return to everyone's hands, and it looks even more elegant." As he said that, he brought back Nan Guizhi with both hands. He also heard that Qiu Ruyi was not very happy, as if he wanted to take Nan Guizhi back. Xie Li was reluctant to return it, so why not help to make a favor?
Qiu Ruyi just took Nan Guizhi, and Nan Guizhi fell from her hand.
"Ah!" All four people in the hall exclaimed, except Qiu Ruyi, it was too late to save the incident. They watched Nan Guizhi fall to the ground and break a leaf.
Du Chuan looked heartbroken. Such a treasure was destroyed like this. This was a treasure that could not be bought even if there was money. He said regretfully: "Qiu everyone, why are you so careless?"
Just when everyone was heartbroken and regretful, they found Qiu Ruyi's face was calm, Du Chuan trembled and said, "Qiu everyone, was it you did it on purpose?" After Qiu Ruyi's expression was confirmed, he couldn't help but say angrily: "But why?"
Danjun was also shocked. As a person around her, she naturally knew the preciousness of Nan Guizhi. Unexpectedly, the lady fell down when she said she fell, and she didn't frown, and she was angry with Li Shaodian?
The gentle and easy-going Qiu Ruyi is now covered with frost on her face, and she is cold and arrogant: "Nan Guizhi is a thing that values love and righteousness. Since she has changed twice, it seems to me that she is undoubtedly a dirty thing, so why would she regret it if she abandoned it!"
But she said this on purpose, Xie Fu, "You gave the things I gave to you to someone else."
Du Chuan stepped forward and picked up Nan Guizhi, which was divided into two parts, and his heartache showed his feelings.
Qiu Ruyi glanced at him and said coldly: "Sir, please pick it up." He said, "Your Majesty, please give it away!"
This change was too sudden, and Du Chuan didn't react. His butt was sitting warm just now, talking and laughing, and in a blink of an eye, he was about to drive people away.
Xie Fu's face was gloomy, Chen Zhiren, are you going to draw a clear relationship with me and break this friendship? You can break it if you break it, whoever is afraid of it?
Seeing that Chen Zhien turned around and was about to leave, Xie Fu said aloud: "Stop!"
Xie Fu stopped and did not scare others, but scared the thank-you gift. Xie Fu said, "I stole this Nan Guizhi, how about it?"
It was clearly given to him by Chen Zhien, but he insisted that he stole it.
Qiu Ruyi suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Fu coldly, and the two of them had silent confrontation.
Xie Li was suddenly overwhelmed and knew that Xie Fu should not be brought. He would definitely mess up this matter again. He said to Qiu Ruyi: "It's all my fault. If there is any mistake in it, it's all my fault. Xie Li apologizes to everyone here." As he said that, he bowed to the ground, but he didn't know that the two of them were just fighting.
Qiu Ruyi glanced at Xie Li, and her eyes fell on Xie Fu again, as if asking, why did you give me what I gave you to others!
Xie Fu shook at Chen Zhien, saying, "This is my cousin, not an outsider, don't be stingy." But he doesn't know if Chen Zhien can understand it."
Chen Zhien didn't know if he didn't understand, but his eyes were still cold.
After all, Xie Fu is a man, with a wider chest and begging her to stop like this, give her some face.
Qiu Ruyi saw Xie Fu's pitiful look and couldn't help but smile. This smile seemed to melt the snow and asked deliberately: "Young Master Xie, how far is your childhood in this book?"
Xie Liying said: "I haven't won the championship in the year, and it's the end of the dancing elephant."
Xie Li smiled when she saw Qiu Ruyi and thought Qiu Ruyi was generous. Yes, she was worried about something with someone who had not yet reached the crown. She quickly said, "I hope Qiu can be a student of Qiu Shixi and still shallow, so she will not care about it."
"It's easy to say." Qiu Ruyi responded with a smile and asked calmly: "Is Mr. Xie good at tea ceremony?"
Danjun burst out laughing and whispered in Qiu Ruyi's ear. Qiu Ruyi's face was slightly surprised and looked at Xie Li, and the doubt in her eyes flashed.
Xie Li showed awkwardness, and Qiu Ruyi didn't ask any more questions, and asked another question: "Does Mr. Xie understand the way to cook?"
Xie Li was stunned and replied: "I have been studying poetry and books since I was a child, and I have no extra time to study other things."
Qiu Ruyi said "Oh", "So, Mr. Xie is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder which of these four is the most exquisite?"
As an excellent student, Xie Li is not able to know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is just that in front of everyone in Qiu, he is definitely not as good as this chess. If you are more proficient in this chess, he should be humble and said: "When you are in the academy, you often play chess with Mr. Zhongming. Although you lose more than you win, your chess skills can barely be counted on the table."
Qiu Ruyi smiled and said, "Mr. Xie, can you talk to me about a game?"
