"This is the difference between dreams and reality. Therefore, no matter what time and environment people are in, they must integrate themselves organically with the environment and reality. Don't overestimate or belittle yourself. How to behave and how to do things are all important. You should leave a scale in your heart to measure your own heart. Only when your heart is balanced, the things you do and the people you express will be balanced, open and calm. So we say do things with your heart and be a person with your heart. , this is the core law of life.”

......

At this time, in a luxurious mountainside villa in Liyue, a young man with short blue hair was sitting in front of the computer with a cup of coffee.

He was looking intently at the computer screen in front of him, his amber pupils shining with excitement.

His name is Xingqiu, and he is the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Liyue.

A veritable rich second generation.

At the same time, he also has an identity, Mr. [Zhenyu] who is famous in the literary world.

The very best-selling martial arts novel "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords" was written by him.

After he heard that Qian Jian also participated in this "Lin Yi" event, he has been paying attention to it. When the event started, Xingqiu immediately clicked into the event interface and started reading quickly.

Xingqiu is very familiar with Qianjian.

"The Wolf" at first, and "The Gift of the Magi" later.

He has read it more than once, and even wrote a review after reading it, which received a lot of likes.

In Xingqiu's eyes, Qian Jian is definitely a talented author, and the novels he writes can always bring him unimaginable surprises.

This time the other party is also participating, and maybe he can produce another good work for me to taste.

For Xingqiu, he doesn't have to eat, but when he can't see good works, he feels like there are ants crawling all over his body.

Very uncomfortable.

......

Xingqiu's reading speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. When he sees a good plot, he will stop and savor it carefully.

And soon, he finally saw the article "Necklace".

I had read a dozen stories before, and although they were all good, Xingqiu didn't feel special.

He felt that those dozen or so articles were not written by Qian Jian. Although there was no evidence, it was just a vague feeling.

After reading this work called "Necklace", Xingqiu hoped that this work would surprise him.

He took a sip of coffee and continued to read with concentration.

[The story of "The Necklace" is actually very simple, using the "necklace" as a clue to unfold the plot.

The heroine of the story is named Mathilde. She feels that she is the most unfortunate person in the world.

With her pretty face and graceful figure, she should have been on an equal footing with the noblest people, lived in the most luxurious houses, and enjoyed people's admiration.

But the reality is that she was born into the most ordinary family, and was so poor that she could not even afford a dress worthy of her beauty. Her husband was just a mediocre civil servant, and her income was only enough to afford an ordinary house. Cheap maid.

The beauty of fantasy, compared with the unbearable reality, made Mathilde full of resentment and depressed all day long. 】

Seeing this, Xingqiu was thoughtful.

He could tell from the introduction at the beginning that the theme of this story was probably to start with material things, focusing on describing the heroine's obsession with material things.

This method of using material objects to satirize characters is very common, but it is also one of the most effective.

After all, sometimes, this can more intuitively reflect the character's quality.

Xingqiu continued reading:

[In order to please Mathilde, her husband went to great lengths to get an invitation to a high-end cocktail party.

Mathilde borrowed a gorgeous and bright pearl necklace, which became dazzling and became the focus of the ball.

It's a pity that carnivals always have to end. When the time comes, she has to take off her beautiful clothes and transform back into Cinderella.

Just when Mathilde arrived home and was about to appreciate her beauty again, she suddenly discovered that the necklace was missing!

The couple searched all the places they passed, but still found nothing. 】

Xingqiu remembered the name of this story - the necklace.

It seems that the core item of the story has been determined now, which is the necklace that the heroine borrowed from her friend.

She actually lost her priceless necklace!

This is not a trivial matter, and the most terrible thing is that she cannot afford to pay for it!

Xingqiu's heart got a little excited, and he was curious about what the heroine would do next.

Just go rogue, or just buy a fake one and pay it to others?

This is also in line with the previous image of the heroine, materialistic and greedy.

But what surprised Xingqiu was that the heroine actually decided to buy a new one and really compensate her!

It is written like this in the novel:

[They had no choice but to sell the house, get rid of the maid, and sign countless loan sharking clauses. Finally, they pieced together a piece of cake and bought the same necklace and paid it to their friends.

The scenery of this night made Mathilde lose her future.

Her life was completely knocked to the bottom by this necklace.

After losing the necklace, there was an endless process of repaying the debt.

A huge haze enveloped the Mathilde couple, filling their hearts with despair.

But faced with this unexpected blow, the couple did not choose to escape.

After that, they lived the most difficult life in order to repay their debts.

In order to earn more money, her husband had to copy accounts for others late at night, and Mathilde had to take on the housework alone.

The greasy dirt in the kitchen wore away her delicate nails; the heavy work bent her slender waist.

She began to bargain with the shopkeepers at the vegetable market, fussing over every penny, and was insulted by the shopkeepers from time to time. Mathilde, who yearned for happiness in heaven, fell into the abyss of suffering.

Mathilde no longer has time to think about glory and wealth, she only thinks about how to pay off her debts. Face and dignity were all left behind by her.

The Mathilde whose heart was in the clouds in the past is now standing firmly in the mud, shaking hands with reality.

The life of extreme poverty lasted for ten years. Mathilde went from a pretty young woman to a rough and aging ordinary woman who was devastated by suffering.

Her waist is no longer slender and her hands are no longer soft.

She became stout and aggressive, her hair was sloppily combed, her skirts were not straight, and she spoke in a loud voice.

Sometimes, Mathilde would sit by the window and recall her dazzling self at that ball.

Fate's ruthless trick turned her life upside down.

But after experiencing the pain of life, Mathilde has also been reborn.

Today she is relaxed and happier than ever. 】

Seeing this, Xingqiu felt a sense of respect in his heart.

This poor couple actually did it. In order to give someone a necklace, they actually paid so much, including their house, savings, and even loan sharks.
