Cheng Baiqiu's question made Old Wu's heart sink, and he turned to look at Shao Xi.
At this time, Shao Xi also had a serious look on his face. What happened back then was not a child's play. Old Wu had caused such a big disaster. Although he came to apologize now, whether he would forgive or not still depends on the other person's intention.
"Let's not talk too much about the matter. I came here this time to bring some gifts. I don't know if they are in line with the girl's preferences. I think it's just a token of my appreciation!"
With that said, Shao Xi turned around and took the wooden box containing the green mist and purple cloud gauze from Wu Qiu'er's arms. He stood up and walked to Cheng Baiqiu's case. He placed the wooden box on the case and opened the lid for Cheng Baiqiu. Take a look.
Women all over the world love beautiful things. This is an eternal law. Although Cheng Baiqiu grew up on Yingyue Island, he still has some understanding of the world's brocade clouds. After all, Shen Linyue loved this apprentice the most back then. , always collect some rare things from the world for her, so when the green mist purple cloud gauze was placed in front of her, her face suddenly showed a look of joy.
Needless to say, the quality of this cloud gauze was high. Cheng Baiqiu was a discerning person, so of course he knew the value of these two pieces of cloud gauze.
Although the women in Wangshu Pavilion usually wear plain clothes and white skirts, if they cover the white skirts with a layer of green mist and purple cloud gauze, they will look more radiant and fairy-like, and their whole bodies will seem to be shrouded in In the colorful glow, the appearance of a fairy is even more abundant.
Thinking about that scene, Cheng Baiqiu couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face.
Shao Xi saw that Cheng Baiqiu seemed quite satisfied with the cloud gauze he had given him. He hurriedly took advantage of the situation and took out the brocade box containing Yunxia glazed beads from his satchel. After opening it, he placed it in front of Cheng Baiqiu.
The Yunxia glazed beads presented by Shao Xi now are different from the batch that was previously sold on consignment at Taihe Trading Company. This is a batch of high-quality glazed beads reserved by Shao Xi. One of the two luminous ones has been given to Xiao Changyi , and the other four fine Yunxia glazed beads, one was given to Liu Xingzhai, one was given to Sha Nu, and among the remaining two, Shao Xi took out one and gave it to Cheng Baiqiu.
When Cheng Baiqiu saw this Yunxia glazed bead, the brilliance in his eyes was far better than the green mist and purple cloud gauze he had seen before. Such a round, transparent and colorful small object is the love of women.
After holding it in his hand and playing with it repeatedly and watching it for a while, Cheng Baiqiu reluctantly put it back into the brocade box. The look he looked at Shao Xi at this time was also very different from before.
This is not to say that Cheng Baiqiu is a vain woman, but that this handsome young man has two rare things in his hands. This is enough to prove the young man's ability and knowledge. How about facing such a young, handsome and capable man? , how many women in the world will not be tempted?
"Young Master, are you noble this year?"
Cheng Baiqiu's question made Shao Xi stunned. Why do you have to tell your age when giving a gift to Wangshu Pavilion? Doesn't she think of this gift as a betrothal gift? Think I came to propose marriage? Didn't the misunderstanding become too big?
While Shao Xi was in a daze, Lao Wu started talking to him from the side.
"He is seventeen years old this year, which is the right age to talk about marriage, but this kid is careless and doesn't know how to be anxious at all."
When Old Wu said this, Shao Xi and Cheng Baiqiu were instantly embarrassed. It was as if they had come to propose a betrothal gift. Let’s not talk about whether the gift is good or not. Who would dare to accept it casually?
Shao Xi turned around and glared at Lao Wu, and he was asked about his age. Why are you talking nonsense like this, old guy? Isn't this intentional to cause trouble?
Cheng Baiqiu also looked a little embarrassed at this time. Although he had some affection for Shao Xi in his heart, and the question about his age just now was indeed for some personal reasons, but Lao Wu pointed it out so bluntly, making it seem like he had feelings for Shao Xi. It's like confessing, how can this not be embarrassing for an inexperienced woman?
But when she heard that Shao Xi was only seventeen years old, she felt a little disappointed.
I am already twenty-three years old this year, because the rules of Wangshu Pavilion are that you are not allowed to get close to men in this life. In addition, I have never left Yingyue Island since I was a child, and the few men I have seen are all bearded. I am an old-timer, so I have never had the opportunity to come into contact with such a young and handsome man.
Today, I was just slightly moved, but I learned that the other person was actually six years younger than me. Although I knew that there was absolutely no possibility between the two, after learning about this age gap, Cheng Baiqiu still felt a little sad. After all, there was an age gap. It's so big that I don't even have the qualifications to fantasize.
Seeing that Cheng Baiqiu was a little dazed, Shao Xi thought it was Old Wu's words that had made her unhappy, so he hurriedly explained to Cheng Baiqiu.
"I am indeed seventeen years old this year, and I am not yet married, but this has nothing to do with our coming to Yingyue Island this time. This old guy is used to being verbose and likes to talk too much. Please don't take it to heart. The two gifts are purely for me to pay homage to Wangshu Pavilion. Please don’t dislike it, please accept it with pleasure.”
With Shao Xi's usually cunning and clever spirit, even if he didn't want to call the other party old, he should still call Cheng Baiqiu "sister", but now the reason why he talks about "girl" is not that Shao Xi doesn't understand etiquette, he can only say "Cheng Baiqiu" Bai Qiu looks much younger than her actual age!
Because these years on the island have been completely isolated from the world, and the days of meditation and meditation, there are no cares or worries, the whole person lives relaxedly, and the skin naturally looks soft and tender, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl generally.
Cheng Baiqiu originally wanted to be polite, but now that he didn't accept these two gifts, it would really seem that he was overthinking, so he stood up and gave a gift to express his gratitude, which was regarded as accepting these two gifts from Shao Xi.
"The three of you have worked so hard to come all the way and brought such valuable gifts. You must have wanted something from me, Wangshu Pavilion. If I don't accept the gifts from you, it will seem like you are thousands of miles away. Let's talk about these two gifts." The gift is indeed exquisite, and my daughter really likes it, so it would be disrespectful."
Originally, Shao Xi was a little worried that the master of Wangshu Pavilion had a noble temperament and was unwilling to accept these vulgar things. He didn't expect that the other party would accept the gift so happily. Thinking about it carefully, it has nothing to do with what Old Wu said just now. It can be said that it is a mistake.
Now that the other party has accepted your gift, the next words will be much easier to say. After all, you can only take advantage of others!
"Just before we came in, the three of us saw that the sisters from the noble pavilion on the island were practicing martial arts. As far as I know, the master was famous in the world for his sword skills, but I don't know why the sisters on the island What you are practicing is swordsmanship? If you follow the teacher's line, shouldn't you be practicing swordsmanship? I am ignorant, so I want to ask the girl for advice."
Cheng Baiqiu stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Young master, you don't know. Although my master practiced swordsmanship back then, in fact, the swordsmanship created by my master is integrated with it." There are a lot of swordsmanship training skills, so the master's swordsmanship is different from any swordsmanship in the world. It does not pursue the sharpness and killing intent of the swordsmanship, but emphasizes the lightness and change similar to the swordsmanship. , so when we started practicing martial arts, Master asked us to practice swordsmanship directly. Firstly, the swordsmanship was too murderous and not suitable for women to practice. Secondly, the swordsmanship practiced by Master was too unique. I will wait for a while. The disciples cannot understand it as thoroughly as the master. Instead of spending a lot of time and energy to practice that sword technique, it is better to directly integrate the sword intention in that sword technique and make it a real sword technique. Therefore, in the future, Wangshu Pavilion will Martial arts mainly focus on swordsmanship, and as for Master’s swordsmanship, I’m afraid it will become extinct from now on.”
Shao Xizuo suddenly realized.
"That's it! In this martial arts world, the only one who can combine swordsmanship and swordsmanship is a martial arts wizard like Master. It's a pity that Master's unique set of swordsmanship has been lost since then. I wonder if the girl has tried to practice Master. Master’s set of sword skills?”
Cheng Baiqiu shook his head gently, with a look of regret on his face.
"Practice swordsmanship is the order of my master. I must follow my master's teachings. Besides, after my master passed away, she buried her secret book of swordsmanship and the Hanyue Sword that she used during her lifetime. Even if I try hard, my little girl will not be able to practice."
Shao Xi said to his heart, what a guy! My master's grave has been dug up for so many years, but I still don't know about it today. I thought that the sword technique secret book and the Hanyue Sword were placed in his master's grave!
However, this also shows that although Lao Wu robbed Shen Linyue and Guan Yucheng's tombs, he did a good job in dealing with the aftermath. If he hadn't restored the tombs to their original state, how could the disciples of Wangshu Pavilion have done so for so many years? Will it be discovered?
It seems that, as Old Wu said back then, he was indeed very careful when adding this grave.
"Miss Cheng, what if, what I'm saying is, if the master's secret book of swordsmanship and the Hanyue Sword that he used during his lifetime were to see the light of day again one day, and someone else was willing to practice this set of swordsmanship and carry it forward, how would the girl feel? "
Cheng Baiqiu sighed softly and said quietly: "Although Young Master is just saying what-if, if it really happens, I would be very happy. Master's martial arts were the best in the world back then, but now he has lost his inheritance. As a disciple, I really feel a little heartbroken and remorseful. If someone is really willing to practice this set of sword techniques, it would be a blessing. As long as the practitioner has good conduct, it doesn't matter whether he has the title of master or disciple with my master. What’s important, what’s important is that Master’s martial arts skills will be passed down in the world, so it won’t be as regretful as it is now.”
Shao Xi heard that he had a good idea. At least judging from Cheng Baiqiu's current attitude, learning Shen Linyue's sword skills would not be regarded as stealing Wang Shuge's martial arts.
Originally, it was a taboo in the martial arts world to secretly learn martial arts from other schools. Now, as the master of Wangshu Pavilion, Cheng Baiqiu is so ambitious. It can be said that it is really rare. So Wu Rina and Muren secretly learned Shen Linyue and Guan Yucheng swords. It seems that there is still room for negotiation on legal matters.
But there is an even more terrible thing at the moment, that is, that old guy, Old Wu, ripped up someone's grave. This matter may not be so easy to negotiate.
