Chapter 338: Jesus and the Knight's Sword Chapter
Zhou Qi's sentence "father-in-law and mother-in-law" was extremely natural, and even Li Zhiyun didn't react at first. When she subconsciously wanted to answer, her pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and she glanced at Zhou Qi fiercely. If she weren't in a good mood now, she might have beaten the powder punch directly.
"I wanted to beat you up, but it's good that you're familiar with the context of this kind of speech in advance. β
Li Zhiyun snorted and walked towards the car, "I'm not in a hurry to see my parents, just go over at night." My dad doesn't usually have any hobbies, that is, he likes to drink alcohol. Well, let's go buy some wine and buy a bracelet for my mother. You don't have to buy too expensive ones, it's almost enough, and it's not your real father-in-law anyway. β
Speaking of the last two sentences, Li Zhiyun's tone was obviously a little ridiculous.
Zhou Qi touched his nose in embarrassment, didn't say anything, and stepped on the accelerator to go to the mall.
Shopping with Li Zhiyun, unlike Nangong Xue, does not have so many scruples. After all, Nangong Xue is a big star in Asia, and many people know her. Li Zhiyun is not so well-known, but she has some influence in the high-level social circle, and there are also those who do good things to select the top ten beauties in northern Jiangsu.
Li Zhiyun's face is small and delicate, and she can basically cover her entire face after wearing sunglasses.
Zhou Qi was wearing a Tang costume, but he was young but gave people a feeling like a spring breeze, which was very comfortable.
He didn't deliberately wear too thin clothes, which were sewn with cotton linings. It wasn't for warmth, he didn't feel cold even if he was shirtless, but he didn't want to be too eye-catching. The two of them walked in the mall, and it was a scenery to arrive, with talented men and women, and they were a good match.
Zhou Qi didn't go to buy anything particularly valuable, even though he had enough money to buy the mall now.
Two bottles of Feitian Moutai and a pair of spring colored jade bracelets. All of these add up to a few thousand, less than 10,000 yuan. The most important thing in gift-giving is to send it to the other person's favorite, even if you spend more money, it is useless, but sometimes it will be counterproductive. Li Zhiyun couldn't help nodding secretly, Zhou Qi did everything just right.
It happened to be lunch time, but Zhou Qi didn't feel hungry, and he usually didn't eat when he was alone, but ate a single Nian Dan that had not been blessed by aura. It has an improved version of the formula in it, and it has a lot of nutrients, enough to support his nutrition for a day, which is similar to the previous Bigu Dan.
"Why don't you just try the taste of this one, it's an Italian restaurant owned by my best friend. β
Li Zhiyun's footsteps stopped and pointed to a restaurant on the first floor of the mall, "She has invited me many times, and I happen to have time today." Today happens to be the eighth day of the new year, and it is estimated that it will only open for two days after the year. Let's go, sister will take you to taste foreign flavors, like you are a local bun, you will know what to eat broken pills. β
Zhou Qi shrugged his shoulders, he knew that Li Zhiyun didn't really admire foreigners, but just had opinions about himself.
He has known Li Zhiyun for so long, and he still knows her character very well. When I was studying abroad, I once used a wonderful speech to slap those who mocked Chinese people in the face. This video has also been popular in China, and it is still seen on a website from time to time to this day.
Fortunately, Zhou Qi didn't buy much, and he packed two bottles of liquor and bracelets in a tote bag.
The interior of the restaurant is very exotic, with several famous Italian Renaissance paintings hanging on the walls, which, of course, are fakes. However, Zhou Qi, who was still watching, nodded secretly, even if it is a fake, it can be regarded as a high imitation, it must have spent a lot of money, and a very professional painter was invited to copy it, which is very ornamental.
"You can understand this, don't pretend to understand, okay. Li Zhiyun saw Zhou Qi looking at these paintings, and nodded from time to time, as if she could really understand them. It's not that she really looks down on Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi only knows how to practice martial arts, boxing, and refining pills all day long, and she is like a young man who has been poisoned by feudal thoughts.
Except for the occasional fluent British accent, I can't see how he has anything to do with the works of these foreigners.
"Actually, you can't just look at these works of art with your eyes. β
Zhou Qi knew that Li Zhiyun habitually scolded herself, and she didn't care very much, so she explained with a smile, "It's like if you look at this "Judas's Kiss", of course I'm not a professional, so the angle is different. Maybe his brushstrokes are not very delicate, but the conflict between the characters is very vivid, and if you look closely at Jesus' hands, what do you find?"
Hearing Zhou Qi say this, Li Zhiyun also raised her head curiously and looked carefully at Jesus' left hand.
Because of her overseas study experience, she also studied Western culture, not to mention the frescoes in this Paduan church. But no matter how closely she looked, she didn't see Jesus' hand. For Judas was dressed in a wide robe, which completely covered Jesus' shoulders and arms.
"You tell me where Jesus' hand is in this painting?" Li Zhiyun said angrily.
"Don't be in a hurry, look carefully. It is true that Jesus' hand is not depicted, but the outline of Jesus' hand can be seen from the underside of Judas's robe. The most important part is that Jesus' gesture is to clasp his index finger to the middle finger, which is bent and ready to be stabbed diagonally upward. This is one of the traditional martial arts of ancient Europe, the knight's sword medal. This writer is so powerful, if I guess correctly, he should also be an ancient European martial arts master, with deep charm, not just depiction. β
Li Zhiyun couldn't help but be stunned, originally she didn't understand the meaning at all, but after Zhou Qi's interpretation, the feeling of looking at this painting at this time was completely different. Originally, although I could see the tense atmosphere, there was no such thrilling feeling at all. The situation in front of her was even more tense, and she couldn't help but breathe rapidly.
Zhou Qi saw Li Zhiyun's reaction, and lightly tapped the back of Li Zhiyun's hand with his fingers.
She gasped for breath and said incredulously, "It's amazing, Jesus' hand seems to come to life." I don't know if Judas can resist it, but even then, Jesus may not be able to win. Because it was a premeditation, so many people rushed to him together, and in the end they were sent to the cross......"
Zhou Qi nodded, wanting to say something, but he didn't speak, because he saw a man and a woman walking over.
"Wonderful, wonderful, this gentleman is really good eyesight, what's your name?"
The man looked at Zhou Qi appreciatively, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Peng Chunxiao, I am the male owner of this shop, and this is my wife Fang Huahua." The hero sees something the same thing, which is why I bought this painting. I really didn't expect that there are still people in China who know such an ancient European martial art as the 'Knight Sword Medal'. β
Now that I understand the origin of these two people, I don't need to ask to know that Fang Huahua must be Li Zhiyun's best friend, and she should have opened this store with her boyfriend. Fang Huahua is very beautiful, and it is easy for people to notice it in the crowd. But compared to Li Zhiyun, she is still slightly inferior, and Li Zhijun is the real focus of the crowd.
Therefore, Peng Chunxiao's gaze still looked at Li Zhiyun next to him, intentionally or unintentionally.
According to reason, Peng Chunxiao is still a very attractive man, with a good demeanor, a tall figure, and it is estimated that he is also very rich.
"My God, Li Zhiyun, I called you so many times and didn't come, I thought you forgot me, but I didn't expect to meet you here! By the way, this is my boyfriend...... emm, fiancΓ© to be exact, we will have a wedding on the 10th of next month. β
Fang Huahua smiled and sat directly opposite Li Zhiyun, holding Peng Chunxiao's arm enthusiastically.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi shook his hand politely, and when he was about to pull it back, he found that Peng Chunxiao clamped his tiger mouth slightly. Faced with this situation, Zhou Qi is really familiar with it, the other party saw that he knew ancient European martial arts, so it was natural that he also regarded himself as a martial arts practitioner, and instinctively wanted to give it a try.
But Zhou Qi didn't use any terrifying force, just shook it to the end, and then pulled his hand out without a trace. This made Peng Chunxiao startled, and he looked at his right hand with some suspicion. Obviously, a lot of force was used, but it did not have the desired effect.
Therefore, he was not sure whether Zhou Qi would be able to do martial arts or what his strength was.
Li Zhiyun naturally didn't know about the open and secret struggle between these two men, she just smiled faintly, "I was too busy with work before, but now I have time." At the time, I thought you would stay in Europe, but I didn't expect to return to China. Come and cheer today, let your chef cook some specialty dishes. β
In fact, when Peng Chunxiao just came over, Zhou Qi could see that he had a martial arts foundation.
It's just that it's not very similar to Huaxia's martial arts, and most people can't see it, but they just think that he walks with great momentum. But Zhou Qi knew that it should be the horse step of ancient Europe. The wind of walking is quite chivalrous. So Zhou Qi was also very interested in him, and he had itchy hands, and he had never dealt with this kind of person.
But the more this is the case, the more he feels respect for Xia Yiruo, or the Xia family.
Because of this "Knight Sword Chapter", he had seen it mentioned in several books left by Xia Yiruo in the room, which was very interesting. However, there are not many descriptions, and there should be more information in the Xia family's study. It is only slightly written that it originated in the time of Jesus, and was carried forward after the Crusades and became all the rage.
