Chapter 37: The Gift
The dinner party will officially start soon, today is Ye Ruyu's coming-of-age ceremony, and when my brother naturally prepared a big gift, he also took out this big gift in front of everyone tonight.
I saw Ye Landi gently clapping his palms, and a maid walked over with a tray covered with a red cloth, and under the expectant and curious eyes of everyone, he slowly uncovered the red cloth.
There was a purple painting tube on the tray, about two feet long, Li Baye originally thought it was some kind of jewelry, but he didn't expect it to be a painting, and he suddenly lost interest.
But Ye Ruyu said happily: "Brother, what kind of painting did you give me today, I have to take a good look, I can't look at ordinary paintings!"
"Open it and take a look. Yelandi looked at her tenderly, her eyes full of doting.
I saw Ye Ruyu walking over happily, picking up the painting tube with her slender hands, and slowly pulling out the paintings inside.
With the help of Ye Landi, Ruyu carefully unfolded the scroll, only to see a Danqing ink painting jumping into view, Li Baye didn't know how to paint, only saw a lonely peak standing proudly in the mountains of ten thousand mountains, and the indescribable vast and sharp breath came through the paper, and his heart was inexplicably shocked.
"Good painting!" he blurted out.
Ye Landi glanced at him in surprise, and secretly said that this kid even understands painting?
"It's ...... Master Yulin's "Lonely Peak"! It's really "Lonely Peak"! Brother, how did you buy it back?!" The moment she saw the painting, Ye Ruyu suddenly panicked, in addition to the love for the painting in her heart, there was also deep disbelief.
"Silly sister, you were born with a weak body, you can't learn martial arts, your only hobby is poetry and painting, and painting, your favorite is Master Yulin's painting, I can't know it better.
"Last year, you saw the fakes of "Lonely Peak" in Surabaya City and liked it very much, but unfortunately it is not the real work, my brother remembered it, this year I entrusted a lot of friends, and finally found out where the real work of "Lonely Peak" is, which turned out to be in the hands of a collector in Qingxing City.
"Since I was a child, you have never asked me for anything, today is your coming-of-age ceremony, after today, you will really grow up, and my brother may not be able to accompany you forever in the future, so I simply bought this painting back and gave it to you, Ruyu, happy birthday!"
Ye Landi's touching words deeply moved everyone on the scene, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, and Ye Landi is like a whole round of jade, it is because the former's feelings for the latter are also deep like a father, so many years, it can be said that Ye Landi has taken all the pressure and accompanied Ruyu to grow up happily.
Li Baye was not an easily moved person, but at this moment, he also sent out a deep emotion in his heart.
A person who takes such care of his sister must have a good character, and unconsciously his evaluation of Yerandi has been raised again.
When Ye Landi spoke, Ruyu's eyes had already begun to flash with crystal tears, others didn't know Master Yulin's paintings, she knew best, any painting was the price of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention that "Lonely Peak" is one of the most proud paintings in Yulin's life, its value is immeasurable, and it is no longer even possible to buy it with money, but it is conceivable that my brother doesn't know how much he paid to buy "Lonely Peak" back, just thinking about it makes me feel distressed, which brings more guilt and self-blame.
"Brother......" When her brother finally wished her a happy birthday, she couldn't hold back any longer, let the tears flow freely, threw the painting into the hands of the maid next to her, and threw herself into Ye Landi's arms with a sigh.
Seeing this situation, Li Baye suddenly thought that today was her birthday, so as a guest, he should also prepare a gift!
"I'll go! His brother has come up with this kind of killer weapon, wouldn't it be too low-end for me to give some jewelry casually, and I can't take it at all." He couldn't think of a proper gift.
In addition to a bunch of daily necessities, knives, and gold and silver jewelry, there were only some red blood corals left in the system space, and nothing else was on hand.
"Oh, the preparation is too inadequate, how can this be done?" Li Baye thought about it, and finally suddenly had an idea and thought of a brilliant idea.
After a while, after the two brothers and sisters eased their emotions, they both sat down, and the dinner was about to start, Li Baye suddenly got up and said to Ye Landi: "Wait, today is the day of Sister Lingfang's birthday, and Li has also prepared a small gift, which is specially given to Miss Ruyu." ”
In the stunned eyes of everyone, he continued: "Can you ask the waiter to send pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Li Mou is not talented, just watched the work of Master Yulin's "Lonely Peak", and was greatly shocked, only to feel the vast and arrogant atmosphere, rushing to the sky, and feeling in my heart, improvised a poem to give to Miss!"
"Oh, Brother Li still has such literary talent! In ancient times, there were seven steps to become a poem, which is already a great sound, I don't want Brother Li to be able to turn it into a poem?
At this time, everyone looked at him with a smile, few people really cared about how good his poems were, and all they thought about was purely for the dinner party, and it didn't matter if the writing was good or bad, the key was his intention.
Of course, Li Baye knows that everyone's disapproval, but others don't care, he only cares about one person's reaction, that is, Ruyu!
While waiting for the pen and ink, he glanced at Ye Ruyu generously, and showed a confident smile to the latter, but he didn't expect the latter to smile back, her eyes were different from others, and they were full of anticipation and curiosity!
It seems that this chick still has some expectations for herself, and it is estimated that it is the confidence given to her by the sentence "A gentleman is unparalleled in the world, and a stranger is like a jade".
Thinking of this, Li Baye recalled the poem that came to mind again, and after making sure that it was correct, he slowly exhaled.
Soon, the maid named Xiaocui took the four treasures of the study, Li Baye didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the table, and began to splash ink on the table next to him.
Thanks to the fact that he had learned calligraphy in his previous life, he could write well, and with his current mentality and grasp of strength, the font presented was even more exquisite.
In a short time, the four-line poem has jumped on the paper, the iron hook and silver stroke, the force through the back of the paper, it can really be described as majestic, magnificent.
"The lonely peak is not with the mountains, and it goes straight into the green clouds. It will be a good idea, and the pillar of optimus is in Nanzhou!" Li Baye showed the rice paper in front of everyone's eyes, read it in his unique rich voice, and immediately looked at the beauty who had already stood up in shock, and said, "Miss Ruyu, can you barely cope with the situation?"
"This ...... Did you really come up with this poem?" Ye Ruyu's eyes were full of shock, not that she didn't believe it, but that this poem was so good, so appropriate, it was simply a poem tailor-made for "Lonely Peak"!
Who would associate such a poem with a country fisherman, or with a young country fisherman who was only seventeen years old, and who could not even read poetry, let alone compose poetry?
At this moment, it was not only her, but also Ye Landi, Hou Feng, Zhao Qinglong, and all the triumphant people in the hall were dumbfounded!
Some poems, even people who don't understand poetry, can understand the connotation and meaning in an instant, it just so happens that Li Baye's "Duxiu Mountain", which was plagiarized to Zhang Gu during the Tang Dynasty on the earth, is exactly the type of old and young killing.
"Of course!" Li Baye smiled indifferently, handed over the rice paper freely, and then sat down naturally, without looking at Ye Ruyu again.
At this moment, he can be described as the essence of pretending to be extremely forced, and even he can't help but call himself.
