Chapter 62: Charlatans
Tian Hao's expression was disdainful, and he looked down on Zhou Lie from the bottom of his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "It turns out that he is a poor and white fool, and he is embarrassed to take out three pieces of rotten wood to show his eyes?
"Uncle Han, aunt, these two pieces are for you, Miss, this piece is for you. ”
Zhou Lie gave three wooden plaques to Han Shixun, Tian, and Han Lingshi.
In fact, after he learned that Han Shixun had a birthday, he was also worried about the congratulatory gift.
He felt that Han Shixun was not short of money, and it seemed too vulgar to give gold, silver and jewelry, so he finally temporarily refined three talismans.
These three talismans are all refined by him according to the secret method of the dragon clan, in addition to the magical effect of nourishing the body and prolonging life, once the person who carries it is in danger, no matter how far away he can immediately sense, so as to go to the rescue as soon as possible.
It is no exaggeration to say that being able to be personally protected by Wu Anbo, these three talismans can be regarded as treasures that are hard to find.
"Zhou Lie, you have a heart. ”
Han Lingshi accepted it with joy on her face, and there was a red rope hanging on the wooden card, which she took to her beautiful neck on the spot.
It was originally an ordinary piece of wood, but when she brought it to her body, it turned out to be noble, and I have to say that human beauty can also set off the preciousness of the item.
Han Lingshi also knew that Zhou Lie was short on hand and had no money, and at the same time, she was not the kind of person who was greedy for money, so she didn't care about the cheapness of the wooden cards.
The most important point is that this is the first time Zhou Lie has given her a gift, which makes her feel extremely sweet.
"Zhou Lie, your level of carving is good, it can be called a master-level level. ”
Han Shixun looked at the wooden card and saw a divine dragon depicted vividly, with teeth and claws, as if he was about to come back to life, and couldn't help but praise.
He is a businessman, so he naturally sees a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so he doesn't value gifts or anything, as long as Zhou Lie has this filial piety, he is already satisfied.
Both father and daughter happily accepted the wooden card, but when they arrived at Tian's place, something unexpected happened.
Syllable!
Tian had a calm face, and directly threw the wooden card on the ground, as if throwing garbage.
She was holding back a wave of anger in her heart, all the people who came to pay their respects either gave jewelry or gold and silver, but Zhou Lie actually sent three pieces of rotten wood, and even said that it was a talisman, and the face of the Han family was simply lost by him.
Zhou Lie saw Tian throwing the wooden sign on the ground, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
For the sake of Han Shixun's face, he deliberately carved out an extra piece and gave it to the Tian family, and now it seems that he is doing it himself.
"Madam, after all, this is Zhou Lie's intention, how can you say throw it away?"
Han Shixun's face sank and he shouted.
"What kind of mind is he?"
Tian's face was angry, and he scolded: "I won't talk about the adults, just these juniors, Hao'er sent a golden phoenix hairpin, Shihao sent a jade abacus, Yuruo sent a gold bracelet, Miaoxue girl sent a pair of golden bowls and chopsticks, but he sent three pieces of rotten wood, this is sincerely trying to laugh at our Han family." ”
"That's it, it's the first time I've heard that rotten wood can keep people safe, and this kid looks like a charlatan. ”
Tian Hao saw the opportunity and hurriedly fanned the flames on the side.
Duan Shihao and Song Miaoxue smiled without saying a word, secretly despising Zhou Lie in their hearts.
If you give a gift, you should take out something decent, and don't you bring shame on yourself by giving three pieces of rotten wood?
"Cousin, you also threw away that piece of rotten wood, it is not worthy of your identity at all, since you like amulets, give me this piece to you. ”
Tian Hao smiled slightly, took off a piece of crystal clear, moist jade pendant on his neck, and handed it to Han Lingshi.
"Listen to your cousin, get rid of that rotten piece of wood. ”
Tian's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Pei, knowing that this thing was worth a lot of money, and as he spoke, he hurriedly reached out to tear off the wooden card on Han Lingshi's body.
"Don't!"
Han Lingshi shook her head and stepped back, avoiding Tian's palm.
Although the wooden card given to her by Zhou Lie was cheap, she had just brought it with her, and she actually had a feeling of feeling comfortable, and the headache she used to have disappeared before.
The most important point is that this wooden plaque is the first gift that Zhou Lie gave her, and it is of great significance.
"Lingshi, that's a piece of rotten wood, what are you doing with it?"
Tian was surprised, not knowing why his daughter had a soft spot for a piece of wood.
Tian Hao's face suddenly turned pale, and he really couldn't understand why his cousin was willing to take a piece of rotten wood and not accept his expensive jade pendant.
Zhou Lie also looked slightly stunned, he didn't expect Han Lingshi to be so persistent.
And he also recently discovered that Han Lingshi's attitude towards him has changed a lot, he used to be cold, but recently he has become extremely enthusiastic.
Not only did he embroider a purse for him personally, but he also poured tea and water intimately just now, and now he would rather bring a cheap wooden card than the precious jade pendant given by Tian Hao.
Zhou Lie is not a fool, he finally came to his senses, Han Lingshi wouldn't like him, right?
"It's a pity that I'm now dedicated to pursuing martial arts, and I don't have much interest in children's affection. ”
Zhou Lie shook his head secretly, he didn't have much affection for Han Lingshi, and he even felt disgusted with what she did before.
In addition, when he was in Yanjing City, he was betrayed by Chun'er, and he was instinctively vigilant against all women, and his revenge was not avenged, he was really not in the mood to fall in love.
Time flickered, and by noon, the birthday banquet had ended.
The guests got up one after another to say goodbye to Han Shixun and dispersed one after another.
Zhou Lie also felt interested, and took advantage of Han Shixun, Tian's, and Han Lingshi to send off guests, and found an opportunity to leave quietly.
Lu Yao deliberately left later, taking advantage of people's attention, picked up the wooden plaque that Tian had thrown on the ground, gently wiped off the soil on it, and stored it in his arms as if it were a treasure.
"The stupid woman actually threw the treasure given by Wu Anbo on the ground, what a violent thing. ”
Lu Yao laughed secretly in her heart, everyone sneered at Zhou Lie, but she was the only one who believed in Zhou Lie's words.
The famous Wu Anbo, how could he be a charlatan.
Since he personally admitted that the wooden card can keep him safe, he will definitely be able to keep him safe, and if she picks up this talisman, it is equivalent to picking up a life.
Leaving the Han family, Zhou Lie followed a big road, unhurriedly, and walked in the direction of Wu Anbo's Mansion.
"Zhou Lie, wait a minute. ”
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded behind him, and he didn't look back, he already knew who was coming and what it was about.
Sure enough, Han Lingshi quickly chased after her, and said apologetically: "Don't take my mother's words to heart, she is not a bad person except for being greedy for money." ”
