Wu Qiushui saw that his expression was different, and he secretly felt strange, but he still followed him to the outside of his room, Zhou Zhao opened the door and went in, and took out a finely made, extremely good-looking brocade box. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] This brocade box is exquisitely made, but looking at the appearance, it is known that the craftsman spent a lot of effort to make such a good-looking box, and the price is not low.

Although Wu Qiushui is very arrogant, she is a girl's family, and she can't put down good-looking things, the style and color of this brocade box is exactly the type she likes, she can't help but look at it, and praise: "Senior Brother Zhou, where did you get such a good-looking box?"

Zhou Zhao saw that she liked it again, secretly rejoiced, smiled slightly, and pulled it a few times, it turned out that there was a small lock on it. He opened the box, but saw that the box was full of jewels, and there was a string of pearl necklaces inside, only to see that the pearls were pink, all of them were the size of almonds, Wu Qiushui counted them, a total of nine hundred and eighty-one, all of them were of average size, and the silk thread that strung the pearls together was also connected with a gold wire as thick as a hair, which showed the preciousness of this necklace.

Wu Qiushui naturally picked up the necklace, kept staring, stroking, and couldn't say like it, and said, "How did you get such a precious necklace?" She knew that Zhou Zhaozhong was not a rich child, and he would not be extravagant and wasteful in his daily life, but he used such a precious thing, which was extremely strange.

Zhou Zhaozhong said: "This is what I have saved for three years and bought with money, do you say it looks good." ”

Wu Qiushui nodded and said, "It's very good-looking." Suddenly I thought, "Why did he ask me to come to see this chain?" Thinking of this, my heart was pounding. In fact, Zhou Zhaozhong usually cares for her, how can she not know? But she is still young, and she only has the meaning of brother and sister to him, and has no love between men and women, so she has to ignore it.

Zhou Zhaozhong really said: "Senior sister, you are beautiful and generous, this string of beads is perfect for you, you will definitely be more beautiful when you wear it." ”

Although Wu Qiushui is not afraid of heaven and earth, and often mixes with men, he can't help but be a little shy when he encounters this kind of thing between men and women, and says: "This ...... What's embarrassing?"

Zhou Zhaozhong had been thinking about her for a long time, and at this time he had no other concerns, and expressed his thoughts: "Senior sister, in my eyes, you have always been a good girl who is generous, open-minded and hearty, I ...... I've liked you for a long time, and I put a lot of effort into this chain, so you can take it. ”

Wu Qiushui didn't expect him to confide in his thoughts, panicked, and only said, "You...... You...... I...... I ......"

Zhou Zhao's heart was sour, and he said in a trembling voice: "After all these years, don't you know my intentions at all?"

Wu Qiushui hesitated and said: "This ......" The so-called long-term love, Zhou Zhaozhong has always tried his best to please her, if she has no affection for him at all, it is impossible, but this kind of affection is only forgotten after a while, and it has not yet reached the point of making a personal promise, her mind is extremely chaotic, she just wants to avoid this embarrassing scene, and said: "I ...... I haven't figured it out yet. He hurriedly turned around and left the room, and fled for the road.

Zhou Zhaozhong showed his love and was rejected, a moment of disappointment, from disappointment to annoyance, thinking: "I have been pursuing her hard all these years, but she didn't pay much attention to me, and rejected me, hum, most of it is because I am from a humble background, look down on me, and tomorrow I will take the position of the head of the house, see if you still come to beg me to reconcile with you?" Thinking of this, I went to the back garden to practice swordsmanship, striving to practice swordsmanship, and show my skills tomorrow and get ahead. It turns out that he has great ambitions from the heart, dreaming of doing something big, so diligent and studious, no one among the brothers and sisters has him so diligent and hard-working, so he is also an outstanding talent in this school, a few days ago the two uncles said to re-establish the head, he secretly determined, take this opportunity to be the head, do a vigorous thing, now with this layer of thought, more firm his determination to win the head.

This day is the Taishan faction election head of the ceremony, received the invitation to come to watch the guests arrived one after another, the two uncles and the disciples on the one hand put out the wine and meat to feast on the guest, on the other hand to respect each other, chatting about the world, so lively. The front door and backyard have been ceremoniously arranged, Zhang Hong is hung with colors, a piece of festivity, the election of the head is a big deal, the whole faction is solemn, everyone is happy, Zhao Hanqing is closed, thinking, you choose your head, anyway, even if you decide the candidate, I don't approve.

At noon, Wang Xueqing came in with food and said, "Senior brother, why are you still staying in the house, don't you go out for a walk, there are a lot of guests outside, it's really lively." ”

Zhao Hanqing said: "They choose their heads, and I won't join in the excitement if I do anything." ”

Wang Xueqing said: "I know that you are very opposed to this matter, but don't lock yourself in the house and suffocate yourself." ”

Zhao Hanqing knew that she was very concerned about herself, and she was moved, but she was also a little upset, and said, "Little junior sister, I asked you to bring some wine last time, can you bring it?"

Wang Xueqing said in a low voice: "I brought it, but don't let them find out, they will definitely blame me." ”

Zhao Hanqing said happily: "It's still the best little junior sister, I won't blame you, where do they blame you?" opened the food box, and there was indeed a pot of wine in it, although it was not much, for him, an alcoholic who couldn't touch wine for a few days, he couldn't ask for it, picked up the wine jug, and drank it from the mouth of the pot.

Wang Xueqing persuaded: "You drink slowly, don't choke, and don't drink so much, your injuries are not all healed." ”

Zhao Hanqing said: "Got it." Then he drank a pot of wine, ate a bowl of rice hastily, and was full.

Wang Xueqing packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and saw that the senior brother had been frowning all the time today, and he was very distressed, and said: "Senior brother, there are many well-known people from the three mountains and five mountains today, you are the master's eldest disciple, if you don't go out to say hello, I'm afraid they will be strange and suspicious of neglecting them." ”

Zhao Hanqing thought about it and knew that this made sense, and besides, he also expected to make trouble at the conference and make it impossible for the head to be elected, so that there would be no disappointment. Spirited, he nodded.

The ceremony of the head of the family was held in the Zhengqi Hall, and the hall was full of disciples of Mount Tai and all the guests attending the meeting, including Hengshan, Huashan, Songshan and the predecessors of the Yarrow and the disciples of the sect. When Zhao Hanqing arrived, Uncle Yuan had already announced the start of the ceremony, he was late for the meeting, and he secretly felt rude, so he only nodded to the guests who came, and found a seat to sit.

Jiang Botao is ambitious, he is determined to win the position of the head of the family, he knows that Zhao Hanqing is extremely powerful in the faction, and he must be a strong opponent when he competes together, and when he sees him being late, he seizes this opportunity to make him make a fool of himself in front of everyone, and asks: "Senior nephew Zhao, for such an important conference, why are you late as a big disciple of this sect?"
