Chapter 160: Gift-giving
There are thousands of words in the world, but love words hurt the most!
If there was no family affection between her and Hua Xuanjue, and no love between her and Gu Huaiyan, she would not be so painful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when something has already happened and it is difficult to recover, the word "if" is often the most useless thing, and can even be equated with "regret".
It's just that there are some truths that people don't understand until much later.
A long time ago, that is, when she didn't know Gu Huaiyan yet. Her greatest wish is to be able to play around outside the Snow God Palace, even if she doesn't come back for ten days and half a month.
Now the thought of never being able to go back adds a little sadness for no reason, his face is full of sadness, and he doesn't know where to put his hands holding concentric knots.
In the evening, Chu Ruoshui happily ran in with a box in his hand, "Sister Liu, do you look at these hair accessories?" Brother You sent so many at once, I picked them all at once, you can help me choose a few!"
Looking at Chu Ruoshui's delicate appearance, Liu Yanxue couldn't bear to disturb her interest, so she took the box and took a closer look in her arms.
As soon as the box was opened, half of the room was illuminated with a dazzling light. All kinds of gold-inlaid jade flowers, Buyao, Huasheng, hosta, golden hairpins, comb grates...... It was presented to her without reservation.
Liu Yanxue, who was still sad about the spring and autumn, was attracted by these hair accessories, and she carefully took out a butterfly-like step with a tassel hanging from it, shook it in her hand, and praised: "It's so beautiful! You can see that the wings of this butterfly are shaking and shaking, as if they are alive." I've seen a lot of beautiful hair accessories in jewelry stores in the past, but none of them can compare to the contents of your box.
Such a well-made hair ornament is really worthy of Sister Chu, a beautiful woman in the country. ”
After hearing this, the shy Chu Ruoshui pulled a strand of long hair from behind him to cover her eyes, "Sister Liu said with a smile...... I don't know much about these either, it's all prepared for me by Brother You. ”
Liu Yanxue smiled: "This is all prepared for the big wedding, right?"
Chu Ruoshui pulled a gap from between his hair, revealing his eyes and turning drippingly, "Sister Lao Liu bothered to help me choose a few to wear for the wedding." ”
After nodding with a smile, Liu Yanxue focused her gaze on the box again. This time, she couldn't help but praise Zhongli Villa's financial resources, "Whether it is material or craftsmanship, every hair ornament in this box is not ordinary, and any hosta is worth a thousand gold." ”
Liu Yanxue carefully picked out a few things, but took out a very heavy dagger from the mezzanine of the box. She hurriedly set the box aside and couldn't help but hold it in her hand.
only heard a "swoop", and Liu Yanxue pulled it out.
The silver-white blade made of pure steel reflects the glow of the setting sun, and although there are no superfluous decorations, it still makes people feel mysterious.
The more she looked at it, the more curious she became, Liu Yanxue shook the dagger and asked, "Why did Youyou give you a dagger?"
Chu Ruoshui replied with a smile: "I guess Brother You wants to give it to me for self-defense!"
Liu Yanxue nodded thoughtfully, and then handed the dagger over, "Your martial arts skills are not high, you really need to bring some weapons by your side to defend yourself." This dagger blade is sharp and small and easy to carry, and it doesn't get much better for you. ”
It just so happened that the blue kite passed by, and Chu Ruoshui dragged her into the room without saying a word, and pointed to the hair accessories in the box and said sincerely: "These are all sent by Brother You, if you have something to look at, just take it!"
Blue Kite smiled at her, "Is that true?"
"Naturally!" Chu Ruoshui took the lead in taking out a hosta from it and put it on her head.
The blue kite who chose the hair ornament was only three steps away from Liu Yanxue, and she took this opportunity to take a closer look at the blue kite.
Although she and Chu Ruoshui are both disciples of Yunzhu, there is a huge gap between her and Chu Ruoshui. Not only is it featureless, but the dress is also extremely plain, and the withered yellow hair is only tied in a simple bun with a wooden hairpin. Chu Ruoshui forcibly put a hosta on her, which not only did not increase her beauty, but it seemed incompatible with the blue kite herself.
What made Liu Yanxue even more puzzled was that she had a lot of calluses in the palm of her right hand, and she didn't miss out on rough work such as carrying water and holding an axe and chopping firewood on weekdays.
At a glance, you can see that Chu Ruoshui was pampered and raised, but the blue kite seems to have grown up farming.
At this time, the blue kite suddenly pulled out the hosta on her head and put it back, "Such a valuable thing, the blue kite is really ashamed, it's better for the senior sister to keep it for herself!"
"Senior sister...... Are you going to have a break with my sister? I really want to give you something. ”
"This ......" After a moment's hesitation, Blue Kite focused her gaze on the dagger in her hand, "Those hair accessories are beautiful, but I don't like to wear them." If my sister really wants to give me something, you might as well give me the dagger in her hand!"
"Yes!" Chu Ruoshui shoved the dagger without thinking.
The blue kite, who got the dagger, hurriedly thanked her, but her eyes were dead when she saw Chu Ruoshui, her smile was stiff, and her thin face was a little mean.
"If it's okay, I won't bother Senior Sister and Miss Liu!"
After the blue kite left, Liu Yanxue asked Chu Ruoshui, "How can your junior sister have such a big gap with you? ”
Chu Ruoshui lowered her head weakly, "Because, because she accidentally pushed me into the river when I was playing as a child, Master doesn't like her very much...... In addition, the junior sister has a withdrawn personality and is not good at words, and the disciples in the valley are not willing to get close to her.
Even during the New Year's holidays, she is rarely with us, and everyone seems to have forgotten her existence, and she has no share in sewing new clothes and shoes.
I would occasionally bring her some fine clothes and jewelry, but I never saw her wear them. ”
After listening to Chu Ruoshui's words, Liu Yanxue finally understood a little. Although the days she lived in Diexiu Valley were short, she saw all Chu Ruoshui's words and deeds in her eyes.
Chu Ruoshui is not only beautiful, but also has a kind heart. She is always generous to the disciples in the valley, and she does not panic when she encounters difficult things, and she always has a kind smile on her face.
Most importantly, she is very good at dealing with relationships.
Suddenly, Liu Yanxue seemed to think of something and asked, "Why does your junior sister want your dagger?
Chu Ruoshui sighed helplessly, "Senior sister often goes up the mountain to chop wood, no matter how much I persuade her, it's useless." She probably wanted that dagger for self-defense! After all, there were so many jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains. Let alone...... This is the first time she has asked me for something since she was a child, I have to give it to her, who made me sorry for her!"
Liu Yanxue said: "Even if she is a weak woman with a dagger to defend herself, how can she be able to defeat those fierce beasts? As for what you said about being sorry, but it means that she was snubbed by your master after you fell into the water? If so, you can find a time to explain it to them." ”
"No! not like that......"
Seeing Chu Ruoshui's extremely deep guilty look, Liu Yanxue asked tentatively: "Sister Chu, what does this mean?
Chu Ruoshui raised his head and replied solemnly: "I mean that my junior sister's martial arts are very good, and she may not lose to those fierce beasts if she has this dagger." ”
"If there was a chance for the two of you to compete, how many moves would you be able to play in her hands at most?"
After thinking about it seriously, Chu Ruoshui hesitated and stretched out the palm of his right hand, "I want to ...... About fifty moves! That's all. ”
"Just fifty moves?"
Liu Yanxue's mind suddenly appeared the scene of Yun Qiumeng and Chu Ruoshui fighting. If he hadn't helped that day, Chu Ruoshui would have been injured under Yun Qiumeng's sword.
Thinking of this, Liu Yanxue couldn't help but glance at her with regret, "Your master's swordsmanship is so superb, your martial arts can't even match one-tenth of hers." If your junior sister wants to capture you one day, it will be too easy. ”
Hearing this, Chu Ruoshui covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister Liu said that she laughed again, I grew up with my junior sister since childhood, and even if she complains about me, she won't catch me." ”
After a pause, Chu Ruoshui stepped forward to hold Liu Yanxue's arm and lowered his head a little embarrassed: "Actually, the master has the intention to teach me all her swordsmanship, but I spend all my time practicing dance...... Therefore, the martial arts are somewhat sparse and ordinary. ”
For some reason, Liu Yanxue always felt that the blue kite looked weird, and she couldn't say where the blame was. I just vaguely feel that she seems to have something unspeakable. But there is one thing that Liu Yanxue still clearly feels, that is, the blue kite and Chu Ruoshui are not close, and it can even be said that they have no friendship with each other.
"Sister Liu, is this yours?"
Hearing the call, Liu Yanxue turned around violently, and the thing Chu Ruoshui was holding in his hand was the concentric knot.
Her expression suddenly dimmed, and Chu Ruoshui only cared about admiring the concentric knot, not noticing the change in Liu Yanxue's expression at all.
"What a beautiful concentric knot......" The boasting sound continued to come from Chu Ruoshui's mouth into her ears.
After struggling in her heart, Liu Yanxue finally opened her mouth, "Sister Chu and Youyou's wedding is imminent, I really don't have any congratulatory gifts to give you...... I see that my sister Chu is so rare This concentric knot, if you don't dislike it, I will give this thing to my sister as a wedding gift!"
It can be seen that Chu Ruoshui really likes it very much, and the appearance of loving it is like a child guarding his own toy, "Thank you, Sister Liu, you are so good to me! This is the best gift I have ever received! If Brother You sees it, he will also be very grateful to you." ”
Liu Yanxue said with an embarrassed face: "Can Sister Chu promise me one thing? If someone else asks, don't tell him that I gave it, including Youyou." ”
She was worried that this matter would reach Gu Huaiyan's ears through Zhong Liyou's mouth, and since she had promised her parents that she could no longer have anything to do with this person.
