Back in the house, Chen Siye's whole body suddenly relaxed a lot, the outside world was too dangerous, and he was almost caught in the yamen and couldn't come back. Thinking of what Qiu Ju said just now, the first day of December is Cuiyun's birthday, and today is November 28, and there are only three days left.

"Ding, a secondary task, celebrate Cuiyun's birthday and make Cuiyun's surprise value reach eighty. Ten points will be awarded for success, and five points will be deducted for failure. ”

This task came suddenly, Chen Siye heard it, and celebrated Cuiyun's birthday, it's simple, but what is the surprise value, how to calculate it?

"How does the system determine this surprise value?"

"Determined by the machine."

？？？ It's up to you to decide? Shady, definitely shady! "It's not fair, it's all you said if you reach it or not, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"You have to believe that this machine is fair and open."

Although Chen Siye was very reluctant to believe it, he couldn't help but believe that the initiative was in the hands of the system.

Thinking about what Cuiyun should give for her birthday, if you want to give it, you have to send something unique, so as to increase the surprise value, but the things you can buy are definitely nothing special, and it makes more sense to do it yourself. Of course, the more important reason is because now he has no money.

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she had promised Cuiyun to paint for her before, it was better to quietly make a painting for her, Chen Siye was very confident, she had never seen her own painting, and she would definitely be surprised if she saw it.

But it's still a bit too difficult to draw from memory alone, so you have to find a chance to take a closer look at Cuiyun.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, first you have to find a good pen, and the use of charcoal is too simple. Opened the system mall and looked at the time, four o'clock in the afternoon, it was still early, enough for him to sneak out and take a turn.

This is a function he accidentally discovered.,The system mall actually shows that there is time.,I'm no longer afraid of not knowing what time.,The system is still a little beneficial.。 With the only half tael of silver he had left, Chen Siye sneaked out the back door, ready to go to the street to look for it and see if he could buy something similar to a pencil.

But what disappointed him was that he didn't see anything like a pencil after a big turn, all of them were ordinary pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and finally he spent 200 wen in a bookstore to buy some rice paper and a book called "Daji Geographical Chronicles", this time he was almost taken to the yamen for questioning, which gave him a sense of crisis, and he had to make up a perfect statement for his life experience.

Sneaking back into his house, no one seems to have noticed. It's 5 o'clock, and it's almost time to go shopping. Chen Siye hasn't made up his mind to cook by himself, although he is proficient in cooking, and his cooking skills have reached the first-class level, but Mingyuelou's seven mouths are not a small project, and everyone in the Ming Dynasty is still mouthful, if he really shows his hand, but traps himself in the kitchen, it will be more than worth the loss.

Sitting at the table, flipping through the geographical chronicles, Chen Siye found that the table was too small, and it was okay to eat, but the whole rice paper could not be spread out, which affected painting. Remembering that there was a utility room next to the house, I got up and wanted to see if there was a desk in the utility room.

When I came to the door of the utility room, I saw that it was actually locked, and my heart said why do you put a lock on it, is it a thief? I was lying next to the window and wanted to look inside, but then I heard Qiu Ju's voice behind me: "What are you doing!" Do you want to steal? ”

Chen Siye was startled, he didn't know when Qiu Ju came, but he didn't hear her footsteps. Turning around to look at Qiu Ju, I saw Qiu Ju carrying the food box and said proudly: "You little thief, it's you who is guarding against you." ”

Chen Siye said speechlessly: "Sister Qiu Ju, if I want to steal something, I won't come to the utility room to steal, what valuable things can be here." ”

"Maybe there's a lot of value in here, let's say, what do you want to steal?"

"I want to steal..."

"I'm right, you thief just wants to steal!"

Chen Siye hurriedly snorted twice, "I was led astray by you, I just want to see if there is a desk in the utility room." ”

Qiu Juqi said: "What do you want the desk for?" ”

"Of course, it's reading and writing."

"I don't think you have done enough work, and you still have time to read and write." Unforgiving, Qiu Ju put down the food box, took off a bunch of keys hanging from her waist, and opened the door.

"There happens to be a desk in the utility room that is also dusty, so I'll use it for you."

When I entered the utility room, I saw that all kinds of things were placed in an orderly manner, and there were more daily necessities, candles, brooms, dishes, various snacks, and even rice paper and books, but these were all packed in boxes, and Qiu Ju opened them for him to see.

There was a large pear blossom wooden desk in the corner, Chen Siye approached and tried to move it, but he didn't move, and secretly sighed that the ancient solid wood made of things was full of weight, and many places of modern solid wood furniture can be saved, and it is expensive.

"It's useless." Qiu Ju pushed him away, easily moved the table alone, and glanced at him contemptuously.

Chen Siye was dumbfounded, and followed Qiu Ju out of the door, Chen Siye said enviously: "Sister Qiu Ju, what kind of kung fu are you, can you teach me?" "I've been practicing this colorful sunshine for two days, and I'm feeling refreshed, and nothing else has any effect.

Qiu Ju said proudly: "You can't learn it." ”

Chen Siye stepped forward and took Qiu Ju's little hand, touched it and looked at it, it was soft and white, without any calluses. Qiu Ju reacted after he touched his hand, snapped his hand, blushed and said angrily: "What are you doing!" Lecher! ”

Chen Siye covered his hands and grinned, "I just want to see if Sister Qiu Ju has any calluses on her hands." Sister Qiu Ju should be practicing internal kung fu, right? ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Ju's attention was suddenly turned away, and he said, "You still have some eyesight." ”

"Then what kind of internal skills are you practicing?"

Qiu Ju made a straight face: "I don't know if it's taboo to ask about other people's internal exercises." ”

Chen Siye pursed his lips, very curious about the name of Qiu Ju's internal strength, and he didn't know if it was the kind in martial arts novels.

found a rag to wipe the table clean, and carried it into his room with Qiu Ju, and a matching chair was also moved, Qiu Ju found him a pen and ink inkstone, and after everything was placed, the room suddenly had a more literary atmosphere, and it didn't look empty.

Qiu Ju watched Chen Siye put the books and rice paper neatly, and came to be interested, stepped forward and said, "Come on, I'll study ink for you, and I'll take a look at your handwriting." As he spoke, he began to get started.

Chen Siye was a little embarrassed, he couldn't write calligraphy, but he couldn't help refusing, and he couldn't slap himself in the face in front of Qiu Ju, so he had to ask for help from the system, "System, fast, how many points are proficient in calligraphy?" Redeemed! ”

"Two points, the redemption is successful."

After thinking about it, many traditional Chinese characters can only read and not write, and asked: "How many points are proficient in traditional Chinese characters?" "One point."

It just so happened that he only had one point left, and he hurriedly exchanged it, and now he was poor again.

At this time, Qiu Ju had already finished the ink and was looking at him. Chen Siye was proud in his heart, and the time to pretend to be forced had come. Pick up the brush, dip it in ink, and write a silent night thought in willow font like flowing water.

After putting the pen aside in one go, Qiu Ju picked up the paper, gently dried the ink, and read: "Thinking in the quiet night, the bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, look up at the bright moon, and bow your head to think of your hometown." ”

Chen Siye said proudly: "Last night, I had a feeling and did it on a whim. ”

Qiu Ju nodded and said, "I don't know how this poem is written, but this word seems to be okay." Chen Siye's smile froze, it turned out that he didn't know how to do it, and he was really blind and fierce as a tiger.

At this time, Qiu Ju turned her head to look at the sky, and said busily: "Ah, it's not early, go buy food." ”

Chen Siye hurriedly agreed, picked up the food box and was about to leave, but heard Qiu Ju say again: "By the way, you only need to buy a meal for six people tonight." ”

The heart says who doesn't eat, "Why is that?" ”

"Tomorrow, everyone is going out to play."

"Ming family themselves?"

"yes, or not?"

Chen Siye was a little unbelievable in her heart, a weak woman went out to play by herself? Qiu Ju is still the same as a matter of course. I also have some regrets, and I don't know when everyone left, so I didn't have the chance to see each other.

I went to Zuixiao Tower to buy food and came back, Qiu Ju was waiting for him in the hall, Chen Siye was about to open the food box and take out his share, Qiu Ju stopped him and said, "Everyone Lin asked you to go upstairs to eat together." ”

Chen Siye was confused in his heart, what is the situation? I don't know Lin either. followed Qiu Ju to the third floor, this was the first time he stepped on the third floor, only to see a small hall in the middle of the third floor, and a long table was placed in the middle of the hall.

There was no room on the side of the hall near the stairs, but there was a window, Chen Siye glanced at it, just facing the backyard, and secretly said in his heart that this was really a good place to peek into his life. The other three sides are all rooms, and the doors are closed at this time, which should be the boudoir of the girls.

Put the food box on the table, the three girls had a clear division of labor, Ma Li opened it and took it out, and took out the dishes from the cabinet on the side and put them on the table neatly, but Chen Siye didn't know what to do when he stood aside.
