Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 115
This Wei Ling is really a fine person, in the first game, she didn't go up by herself, but let her brother Wei Qiong play for her.
The purpose of this banquet was to let the men and women of the aristocratic families see each other. As soon as Wei Qiong came on stage, Wen Xiu'e, Liu Fangfei, and Qi Qingwan all went up to play.
Speaking of this woman in the inner house, she is at home all day with nothing to do, but she likes to compare.
Those like Qi Qingwan who are already married, and Liu Fangfei who only want to marry into the royal family, but because of Wei Qiong's presence, they still have to compete and show off their charm.
As soon as a few people entered the field, they played this card very fiercely.Wei Qiong didn't show mercy at all, she just said that she helped her sister fight, and after three rounds, she became the winner.
The loser was Liu Fangfei. She felt a little unhappy, she pouted, and pushed her bracelet out, saying, "No, this bracelet is for Sister Ling'er."
Wei Ling put the bracelet away with a smile when she heard the words, put it on her hand, held it up to the light, and said happily: "What a beautiful bracelet, Ling'er has taken advantage of you this time."
When Liu Fangfei saw her, her complexion improved a bit, and she said to Wei Ling, "This bracelet suits your complexion well, so it's not in vain for me to lose this time."
Xie Ling saw Wei Ling's actions in his eyes, and secretly admired them.
If he was in Wei Ling's place and Liu Fangfei was not happy seeing him, he might be cowardly and push the bracelet back.
But with Liu Fangfei's status, she doesn't lack such a bracelet, so she may feel that she looks down on her.
From this point of view, Wei Ling's cherishing the appearance of this bracelet is really giving Liu Fangfei enough face.
Xie Ling sighed secretly in his heart, he had been locked up at home for a long time, so he was really short-sighted, and this time he came here once, and he learned a lot about how to treat others.
As he thought this way, Bai Shu patted his shoulder lightly.
Turning his head, he heard Bai Shu approaching his ear, whispering softly that only the two of them could hear: "What did you learn today?"
Xie Ling was still a little nervous in front of Bai Shu, so he also replied softly: "I have learned some ways of dealing with people."
After hearing this, Bai Shu snorted, knocked on Xie Ling's forehead and said, "Yu Mu's head, I only know how to stare at this little thing."
Xie Ling felt a pain in his forehead, and almost bared his teeth and screamed, not knowing where he had offended Bai Shu again.
The action of the two of them was noticed by those who cared, and Wen Xiu'e said: "We only care about playing by ourselves, why did we neglect Brother Bai and Brother Xie's family? Come on, come on, come up and play quickly bureau."
Seeing everyone looking over, Bai Shu said: "I won't participate, if I play, you won't be able to win, then it will be meaningless."
Bai Shu said this with great confidence because he was not on the same level as them.
Bai Shu has never lost in such gambling games.
Bai Shu said so, but the listeners may not believe it.
Especially Qi Qingwan, who felt that Bai Shu was bragging at all, and couldn't help mocking: "Brother Bai is not willing to part with jewelry, is he? I heard that Brother Bai's business is spread all over Daxuan, how come I don't even have a few jewelry on you? With so much money earned, how can you be reluctant to spend it?”
Bai Shu didn't refute after hearing this, but said generously: "Miss Qi's words are not bad. I don't like jewelry, and I only have three pieces on my body. The ring is a token of love with my husband, one for each person, so I can't make a bet. And The jade pendant is Xie Huaiyu's biological mother's relic, and it was given to me by my father, so I can't touch it. There is also a chalcedony unicorn, which was just given by Mrs. Wei, and it needs to be respected."
Although he didn't intend to show off, but in his words, it made people feel the good relationship between him and Xie Huaiyu, which aroused the envy of others.
A family like theirs is not short of money, no matter how much jewelry there is, it is just some silver money, but these things on Bai Shu are not something that can be bought with money.
These jewelry represent his status and the respect others have for him.
Wen Xiu'e felt as if she had eaten sour grapes, and her jealousy towards Bai Zhu was even deeper.
But Wei Yu was a little disappointed. He didn't expect Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu to have such a good relationship. Not only did they wear the same ring as him, but they even gave him the relics of their deceased mother.
Qi Qingwan curled her lips when she heard this, and said from the side: "Since you won't participate, your Xie family must send one up. Otherwise, Xie Ling will come and play."
Xie Ling's face froze, and he refused, but was still held up by several people.
After he sat down, Qi Qingwan became more motivated.He took out a gold hairpin and said, "This red treasure gold hairpin is new to me, I'm going to gamble it out today, let's see who can win."
Wen Xiu'e and Liu Fangfei looked at it, not to be outdone, and both took out their high-quality jewelry.
Xie Ling swallowed, and nervously scratched his hands under the table. The jewelry all over his body was made when Lou was here, and it really couldn't be on the table.
However, only the last loser of this leaf card needs to give jewelry, and Xie Ling doesn't expect to win, as long as he doesn't lose.
In this round, the Wei family faction is still Wei Qiong, and he is still relentless.
Best of three.Xie Ling passed the first round safely, but lost two consecutive rounds in the second and third rounds, and he still lost in the end.
"Looks like I'm going to get another piece of Brother Ling'er's stuff today. It's really lucky." Wei Ling laughed.
Seeing that the winner was Wei Ling, Xie Ling was relieved.
For a person with such an exquisite mind like Wei Ling, even if she could see something wrong with her jewelry, she would probably not make a fuss about it.
Xie Ling took off a bracelet inlaid with gold and jade and handed it over. The jade on this bracelet was of good quality, and it was a relatively expensive piece of jewelry.
Wei Ling got up and was about to pick it up, but Wen Xiu'e suddenly raised her hand and accidentally touched it, knocking off the bracelet, Gululu rolled to Qi Qingwan's feet.
As soon as Xie Ling's expression changed, he was about to grab it, but Qi Qingwan was a step behind in the end.
I saw Qi Qingwan bent down to pick up the bracelet, weighed it in his hand, and said with a malicious smile: "Brother Xie, is there something wrong with your bracelet? When it just landed, I heard There is something wrong with the sound, but now you hold it in your hand, it’s so light, it’s not made of brass, is it?”
I'm really afraid of what will come, Xie Ling is most afraid of this, but he is still regarded as a puncture.
But now is not the time to be silent, Xie Ling could only argue with a pale face: "How could it be made of copper? Although copper is heavier, it is only because this jewelry is hollow, so it is lighter. If you don't believe it, use When the fire burns, the brass turns red, so you can tell the authenticity.”
This is the knowledge that Xie Ling learned in the jewelry business, telling it out now saved some face for himself.
But even so, it would be a shame to bring out a hollow jewelry.
Sure enough, Xie Ling heard that Qi Qingwan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Speaking of this hollow jewelry, I have seen those servant girls or unfavored concubines wear it before."
Wen Xiu'e was also happy in her heart, but she pretended to be concerned and said immediately: "Sister Qi's words are wrong. Brother Xie is the eldest son of the family and the younger brother of the eldest son of the Xie family. His sister-in-law loves him very much." , even these few hollow jewelry can't do anything."
There is something in Wen Xiu'e's words, and the insinuation that Bai Shu abused her uncle is beyond words.
But Bai Shu didn't argue with her, nor did she say that the jewelry was made by Lou's, instead it made people laugh.He just said: "Miss Wen is right, there is nothing wrong with hollow jewelry. Hollow jewelry is light and beautiful, but solid jewelry is too heavy, it is suffocating, and it is easy to get headaches, cervical spondylosis, and turtle neck. Let me say, It's better not to wear so many troublesome things."
Wen Xiu'e: "..." The corners of her mouth twitched, she didn't know how to push back.
She thinks she is eloquent, but Bai Shu always plays cards unreasonably, so that she can't deal with it.
Qi Qingwan, who was on the side, was angry, and said reluctantly: "Your Xie family is also a noble in Beijing, how can you be so clumsy. Brother Xie, he took a cheap thing to play with us, and we lost It is indeed worth a thousand gold jewelry, isn't this taking advantage of us?"
It was she who proposed to bet on the jewelry, and she did not say that the amount of jewelry must be equal at the time.She was also the one who came to play with La Xie Ling, but now she said it as if the Xie family did it deliberately, to take advantage of them.
Xie Ling was overwhelmed, so he opened his mouth to retort: "Your jewelry is not worth a thousand gold. With such a color, it only sells for sixty or seventy gold in a shop. The red treasure gold hairpin is not ruby, but a tourmaline stone. .”
"You are talking nonsense! What do you know if you can only wear hollow jewelry!" Qi Qingwan blushed and was about to explode.
Xie Ling actually said that her gold hairpin was worthless, and the gemstones on it were fakes, and she just put her face on the ground and stomped on it.
Bai Shu finally stood up at this time, coughed and said: "Miss Qi, Ling'er is not talking nonsense. He is helping to check the accounts in the jewelry store at home every day. Of course he knows about these jewelry things." It's very clear. If Miss Qi doesn't believe it, take the jewelry to a jewelry store outside to have it appraised to see how much it is worth in gold. If there is any difference, my Xie family will make up for it according to the original amount and add it to the gambling capital."
Qi Qingwan didn't believe it, and she was stubborn, so she really sent a servant out, and invited a shopkeeper from a nearby jewelry store to come back.
The shopkeeper was invited to Wei Houye's house, and he was also respectful and greeted these ladies and brothers one by one.
Bai Shu then said to the shopkeeper: "Look at that gold hairpin on the table, and estimate how much it is worth? Don't talk nonsense, if you are right, you will be rewarded heavily."
After carefully inspecting Qi Qingwan's gold hairpin, the shopkeeper reported a number after a little thought: "This gold hairpin is worth sixty gold at least, not to mention its fine workmanship. A tourmaline stone is worth thirty gold."
The price quoted by the shopkeeper is almost the same as the price Xie Ling talked about just now.
Qi Qingwan's face turned blue at the moment, but Bai Shu smiled and rewarded the ingot of gold from the shopkeeper and said, "That's right, what you said is very accurate."
The shopkeeper was happily sent away.
"How can such inferior products be delivered to me! Who actually bought this jewelry, and dared to lie to me?"
Qi Qingwan was furious, threw the gold hairpin to the ground, stomped on it a few more times, then got up and left.
As for the other ladies and brothers, the expressions on their faces were not very good.
Seeing Qi Qingwan's jewelry, they felt that many of the jewelry in their home were a bit tricky, and they planned to check it out after the banquet was over.
Therefore, this leaf card is not easy to play anymore.
Bai Shu pulled Xie Ling and Xie Qin up, and said to Wei Ling and the others: "It's getting late today, so I won't bother you too much, so I'll go back right away. In a few days, I'm going to start a village in the suburbs of Beijing." , I will invite you to play some other time, but you should reward me with face."
Hearing what Bai Shu said, Wei Ling would not keep him anymore, but sent a few servants to send him out.
When he reached the door and was about to get into the carriage, Xie Ling heard someone calling him from behind.
Turning around, I saw Wei Qiong walking over in a hurry, holding his bracelet in his hand, stuffing it into his hand and saying: "Sister Wei Ling asked me to give you this bracelet. She is entertaining guests, so please come here. Apologize to her, I just forced you to play leaf cards, but I didn't think about you, and let you stop annoying her."
It turned out that just after that, Wei Ling had seen that Xie Ling was a poor man.
In this way, it is really inappropriate to force him to play leaf cards and make people lose jewelry.That's why Wei Ling asked Wei Qiong to help her return the jewelry.
Xie Ling grabbed the bracelet and stood in front of Wei Qiong, feeling extremely ashamed in his heart.I am like a pheasant, thrown into the peacock, even if I shake off the hair on my body with all my strength, I will not have the brilliance of the peacock.
His nose was astringent, and he looked at Wei Qiong with tears in his eyes, and without even saying thank you, he lowered his head and got into the carriage.
The coachman flicked his braids, drove the horse forward, and left Wei's residence all the way in a short while.
Wei Qiong watched the Xie family's carriage go away, but in her mind was the look that Xie Ling gave him just now, and she was still a little dazed.
After the carriage disappeared, Wei Qiong returned to Wei's house.
After seeing Wei Ling, she heard her ask: "Did you return the bracelet to the little brother of the Xie family? What did he say?"
Wei Qiong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Repay it, he seems to be crying."
Wei Ling's heart skipped a beat, she didn't know what she did wrong, why did she actually make people cry?
She sighed and said: "The relationship between the Xie family and His Highness the Second Highness is very good, this brother of the Xie family must not be offended. Forget it, in a few days, I will personally go to the Xie family to make amends."
When they returned to the banquet and sat with the Wen family and Liu family, both of them were a little absent-minded.
On the carriage, Xie Ling did not shed tears, but put away his sadness.
Xie Qin's mood was not high either, the two sat in the car depressed, and the atmosphere in the car was also very depressing for a while,
"Xie Ling, Xie Qin, you came to this banquet today, do you regret it?" Bai Shu asked suddenly.
Xie Qin nodded, he felt a little regretful in his heart, he used to be very happy at home, but he had to be cautious when he got here, and he would always be overwhelmed by others.
Xie Ling didn't speak, and lowered his head, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
But Bai Shu said suddenly: "Xie Ling, I asked you today, what have you learned, you said it was the principle of dealing with others. How do you feel about your dealing with others today?"
Xie Ling was asked by Bai Shu, so he could only recall it, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "I don't know."
He feels that he is keeping his duty and has not deviant behavior, but troubles come to him in everything, and he can't avoid them.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Bai Shu asked again: "Then what do you think about how Miss Qi is treating people today?"
"Not really." Xie Ling said.This Qi Qingwan is domineering and speaks regardless of people's feelings, she is really not a well-bred person.
"Then you and Miss Qi are at Wei's house, do you think everyone respects you more?" Bai Shu asked again.
"Of course it's her?" Xie Ling said.
Is there even a need to ask?No matter what Miss Qi's status is, even if she is so domineering, everyone will still pursue her.
Just because she is the daughter of the Qi family and the fiancée of the eldest prince, she has a backer behind her.
"Miss Qi is not as good as you in dealing with people, but she is respected by others. Today you learn the ability to deal with people and become a good person. At most, you are no more than that Wen Xiu'e, but your status is not as good as her, but you will never surpass her. What else is there to think about." Bai Shu said: "You are so cowardly today because you have a guilty conscience and you know how many days you have wasted before. If you have something in your heart, why are you afraid of being provoked by others? The long-eyed one stretches out its claws, and you can pull them out one by one."
Xie Ling was very touched in his heart, he raised his head to look at Bai Shu, and thought to himself, if he was a pheasant among peacocks today, then Bai Shu was a leopard.
Although he doesn't have the feathers of a peacock, he is stronger than a peacock. When he meets those provocative peacocks, but he shines his paws, the peacocks all tremble.
The carriage stopped suddenly, Bai Shu opened the curtain and said, "Go on, it's still early today, I'll go pick out some jewelry for you."
He himself doesn't like these things, and he doesn't know that Lou's is so black-hearted, not only falsely quoting the price, but also making hollow jewelry for them, so he didn't think of replacing it for them.
Xie Ling got out of the car, only to realize that this was the jewelry store he usually went to.
He went in with Xie Qin, and Xie Qin's face was full of excitement, thanking Bai Shu repeatedly, not knowing how many pieces of jewelry he would get today.
"Choose it yourself, let the guy take care of what you like, and all the accounts will be taken from the public." Bai Shu said.
Xie Ling was a little absent-minded. After looking at it for a while, he didn't pick any jewelry.
He frequently looked in Bai Zhu's direction, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth, walked up to Bai Shu and asked, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead." Bai Shu seemed to know what Xie Ling was going to say, and followed him to the back of the shop.
Xie Ling brought Bai Shu into the accounting room where he usually settles accounts, let Bai Shu sit at the table, and moved a chair to sit opposite him.
"Did you know that I learned those things from the shopkeeper?" Xie Ling asked.
"Of course I knew it earlier." Bai Shu didn't deny it, and said with a light smile.
"Then why didn't you stop me?" Xie Ling asked bluntly.
He had an answer in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.So much so that he felt that he had to ask Bai Shu clearly.
At this time, Bai Shu raised his head and took a deep look at Xie Ling, knocked on the table and said, "What do you think? This jewelry store will be one of your dowry in the future. If you are willing to learn more, it will be beneficial. Why should I?" stop?"
Xie Ling opened his eyes wide at this time, almost thinking that he heard something wrong.
Bai Shu actually said that this jewelry store...is one of his future dowry...?
He has been checking the accounts every day recently, and the monthly net profit of this jewelry store is more than 2000 taels. Such a big profit, but he wants to marry him out?It was Qi Qingwan's dowry, probably not much different from him.
Bai Shu looked at Xie Ling and said, "Your elder brother is all painstaking, but you don't take it to heart at all. You only remember your own suffering and resent him. You are suffering, but your elder brother suffers more than you. You are young, and he also suffers." But only five years older than you. You are a brother, and you can still eat and drink comfortably in Xie's house, but your brother almost lost his life."
"You think he doesn't know anything? In fact, how can you hide what you think from him..."
Speaking of this, Bai Shu sighed and said: "This blood relationship is also about fate. Even if the fate fades, there is no need to force it. It's just that he still cares about your affection after all, and won't let you be bullied for nothing. That's why I have paved the way for you. And I will let him have no worries in this way."
After finishing speaking, Bai Shu got up and left regardless of what Xie Ling was thinking.
Xie Ling stayed where he was, his eyes were empty, unable to recover for a long time.
He remembered that when he was a child, he also regarded Lou as his biological mother.Lou Shi only made out with him in front of everyone, but turned around and ignored him.
At that time, he was very eager for family affection, but his father ignored him, Xie Qi bullied him, and although Xie Huaiyu was kind to him, he was not always at home.
If he gets closer to Xie Huaiyu, Lou will try to find trouble for himself.
It's not that he hasn't looked for Xie Huaiyu, but he can't find anyone.
Xie Huaiyu spent most of his time in the school, and later lived in the academy, returning home only once in a few months.
When he wants someone, that person is always not by his side.
Xie Ling suddenly felt that what Bai Shu said was right, that he was indeed resentful towards Xie Huaiyu.
Resentment is a very delicate word, and it is only applied to those close to us.
Unlike the word hate, there is always a trace of grievance in the middle.
Because Xie Huaiyu was his blood relative and treated him sincerely, that's why he was wronged.
He transferred the resentment he dared not vent to Lou, Xie Qi, and his father to Xie Huaiyu.
Because he was sure that Xie Huaiyu was kind to him and would let him go, so he unscrupulously hurt the family relationship between the two.
When Xie Ling went out again, Xie Qin's jewelry was almost finished.
Seeing that his eyes were swollen, Bai Shu didn't say anything to him, just asked: "What jewelry do you want, pick some quickly, we are leaving."
Xie Ling sniffed and said, "Don't choose, let's go back."
Bai Shu was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure? I won't have time to accompany you to do these things in the future."
"I'm sure." Xie Ling nodded and said, "You're right, the hollow one is lighter, and there's no need to replace it with a new one."
Bai Shu laughed when he heard that, nodded and said, "Then make some new ones, hollow ones are fine."
After speaking, he called the shopkeeper over and told him to make some new jewelry for Xie Ling. The gemstones on it should be the best, but not too heavy, and they can be made hollow.
Holding the newly added box of gold jewelry, Xie Qin looked at Xie Ling inexplicably, not knowing why the other party was stimulated, so why did he not even want the gold jewelry.
But my sister-in-law is really nice, and she helped Xie Ling make a lot of new ones, which made him very envious.How wonderful it would be if he was the younger brother of the elder brother.
After returning, Xie Ling found that the house had also been decorated.
According to the custom of Qiqiao Festival, Qiaobing, melons and fruits are all available, which is only a lot more than Wei's arrangement.
Xie Huaiyu returned earlier today, and when he saw them coming back, he asked about the Wei family with great concern.
Bai Shu smiled and said, "Of course it's very good. I used a little force to hang Ling'er and Qin'er's wishing sticks on the top of the tree. They are taller than everyone else's, and they are so envious."
Xie Huaiyu laughed out loud when he heard the words, this is indeed something Bai Shu would do, he could guess that Bai Shu must have scared those people just by his imagination.
Xie Huaiyu laughed so thirsty that he reached out to pour tea.
But Xie Ling got up first, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Huaiyu, saying: "Brother, drink tea."
He spoke shyly, glanced at Xie Huaiyu, paused and said, "Thank you and sister-in-law."
For a person like Xie Huaiyu, even if Xie Ling didn't say it clearly, he would understand what he meant.
Xie Huaiyu was a little dazed, his eyes were reddish, and he turned to look at Baishu again.
He saw Bai Zhu smiling very nicely, with crooked eyes, looking only at himself, eyes full of satisfaction and happiness.
Xie Huaiyu's heart ached, and he remembered the note written by Bai Shu on Qixi Festival last year.
He wanted to make his life safe and happy, and now on this Qixi Festival, his heart knot for many years was finally opened.
He took Xie Ling's tea and drank it, then held Bai Shu's hand and said, "Bai Shu, I am very happy today."
Bai Shu couldn't stop laughing when she heard the words, her teeth were white, and her smile became even sweeter...
The purpose of this banquet was to let the men and women of the aristocratic families see each other. As soon as Wei Qiong came on stage, Wen Xiu'e, Liu Fangfei, and Qi Qingwan all went up to play.
Speaking of this woman in the inner house, she is at home all day with nothing to do, but she likes to compare.
Those like Qi Qingwan who are already married, and Liu Fangfei who only want to marry into the royal family, but because of Wei Qiong's presence, they still have to compete and show off their charm.
As soon as a few people entered the field, they played this card very fiercely.Wei Qiong didn't show mercy at all, she just said that she helped her sister fight, and after three rounds, she became the winner.
The loser was Liu Fangfei. She felt a little unhappy, she pouted, and pushed her bracelet out, saying, "No, this bracelet is for Sister Ling'er."
Wei Ling put the bracelet away with a smile when she heard the words, put it on her hand, held it up to the light, and said happily: "What a beautiful bracelet, Ling'er has taken advantage of you this time."
When Liu Fangfei saw her, her complexion improved a bit, and she said to Wei Ling, "This bracelet suits your complexion well, so it's not in vain for me to lose this time."
Xie Ling saw Wei Ling's actions in his eyes, and secretly admired them.
If he was in Wei Ling's place and Liu Fangfei was not happy seeing him, he might be cowardly and push the bracelet back.
But with Liu Fangfei's status, she doesn't lack such a bracelet, so she may feel that she looks down on her.
From this point of view, Wei Ling's cherishing the appearance of this bracelet is really giving Liu Fangfei enough face.
Xie Ling sighed secretly in his heart, he had been locked up at home for a long time, so he was really short-sighted, and this time he came here once, and he learned a lot about how to treat others.

Turning his head, he heard Bai Shu approaching his ear, whispering softly that only the two of them could hear: "What did you learn today?"

After hearing this, Bai Shu snorted, knocked on Xie Ling's forehead and said, "Yu Mu's head, I only know how to stare at this little thing."
Xie Ling felt a pain in his forehead, and almost bared his teeth and screamed, not knowing where he had offended Bai Shu again.
The action of the two of them was noticed by those who cared, and Wen Xiu'e said: "We only care about playing by ourselves, why did we neglect Brother Bai and Brother Xie's family? Come on, come on, come up and play quickly bureau."
Seeing everyone looking over, Bai Shu said: "I won't participate, if I play, you won't be able to win, then it will be meaningless."
Bai Shu said this with great confidence because he was not on the same level as them.
Bai Shu has never lost in such gambling games.
Bai Shu said so, but the listeners may not believe it.
Especially Qi Qingwan, who felt that Bai Shu was bragging at all, and couldn't help mocking: "Brother Bai is not willing to part with jewelry, is he? I heard that Brother Bai's business is spread all over Daxuan, how come I don't even have a few jewelry on you? With so much money earned, how can you be reluctant to spend it?”

But Wei Yu was a little disappointed. He didn't expect Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu to have such a good relationship. Not only did they wear the same ring as him, but they even gave him the relics of their deceased mother.
Qi Qingwan curled her lips when she heard this, and said from the side: "Since you won't participate, your Xie family must send one up. Otherwise, Xie Ling will come and play."
Xie Ling's face froze, and he refused, but was still held up by several people.
After he sat down, Qi Qingwan became more motivated.He took out a gold hairpin and said, "This red treasure gold hairpin is new to me, I'm going to gamble it out today, let's see who can win."
Wen Xiu'e and Liu Fangfei looked at it, not to be outdone, and both took out their high-quality jewelry.
Xie Ling swallowed, and nervously scratched his hands under the table. The jewelry all over his body was made when Lou was here, and it really couldn't be on the table.

In this round, the Wei family faction is still Wei Qiong, and he is still relentless.
Best of three.Xie Ling passed the first round safely, but lost two consecutive rounds in the second and third rounds, and he still lost in the end.
"Looks like I'm going to get another piece of Brother Ling'er's stuff today. It's really lucky." Wei Ling laughed.

There is something in Wen Xiu'e's words, and the insinuation that Bai Shu abused her uncle is beyond words.
But Bai Shu didn't argue with her, nor did she say that the jewelry was made by Lou's, instead it made people laugh.He just said: "Miss Wen is right, there is nothing wrong with hollow jewelry. Hollow jewelry is light and beautiful, but solid jewelry is too heavy, it is suffocating, and it is easy to get headaches, cervical spondylosis, and turtle neck. Let me say, It's better not to wear so many troublesome things."
Wen Xiu'e: "..." The corners of her mouth twitched, she didn't know how to push back.
She thinks she is eloquent, but Bai Shu always plays cards unreasonably, so that she can't deal with it.
Qi Qingwan, who was on the side, was angry, and said reluctantly: "Your Xie family is also a noble in Beijing, how can you be so clumsy. Brother Xie, he took a cheap thing to play with us, and we lost It is indeed worth a thousand gold jewelry, isn't this taking advantage of us?"
It was she who proposed to bet on the jewelry, and she did not say that the amount of jewelry must be equal at the time.She was also the one who came to play with La Xie Ling, but now she said it as if the Xie family did it deliberately, to take advantage of them.
Xie Ling was overwhelmed, so he opened his mouth to retort: "Your jewelry is not worth a thousand gold. With such a color, it only sells for sixty or seventy gold in a shop. The red treasure gold hairpin is not ruby, but a tourmaline stone. .”
"You are talking nonsense! What do you know if you can only wear hollow jewelry!" Qi Qingwan blushed and was about to explode.
Xie Ling actually said that her gold hairpin was worthless, and the gemstones on it were fakes, and she just put her face on the ground and stomped on it.
Bai Shu finally stood up at this time, coughed and said: "Miss Qi, Ling'er is not talking nonsense. He is helping to check the accounts in the jewelry store at home every day. Of course he knows about these jewelry things." It's very clear. If Miss Qi doesn't believe it, take the jewelry to a jewelry store outside to have it appraised to see how much it is worth in gold. If there is any difference, my Xie family will make up for it according to the original amount and add it to the gambling capital."
Qi Qingwan didn't believe it, and she was stubborn, so she really sent a servant out, and invited a shopkeeper from a nearby jewelry store to come back.
The shopkeeper was invited to Wei Houye's house, and he was also respectful and greeted these ladies and brothers one by one.
Bai Shu then said to the shopkeeper: "Look at that gold hairpin on the table, and estimate how much it is worth? Don't talk nonsense, if you are right, you will be rewarded heavily."
After carefully inspecting Qi Qingwan's gold hairpin, the shopkeeper reported a number after a little thought: "This gold hairpin is worth sixty gold at least, not to mention its fine workmanship. A tourmaline stone is worth thirty gold."
The price quoted by the shopkeeper is almost the same as the price Xie Ling talked about just now.
Qi Qingwan's face turned blue at the moment, but Bai Shu smiled and rewarded the ingot of gold from the shopkeeper and said, "That's right, what you said is very accurate."
The shopkeeper was happily sent away.
"How can such inferior products be delivered to me! Who actually bought this jewelry, and dared to lie to me?"
Qi Qingwan was furious, threw the gold hairpin to the ground, stomped on it a few more times, then got up and left.
As for the other ladies and brothers, the expressions on their faces were not very good.
Seeing Qi Qingwan's jewelry, they felt that many of the jewelry in their home were a bit tricky, and they planned to check it out after the banquet was over.
Therefore, this leaf card is not easy to play anymore.
Bai Shu pulled Xie Ling and Xie Qin up, and said to Wei Ling and the others: "It's getting late today, so I won't bother you too much, so I'll go back right away. In a few days, I'm going to start a village in the suburbs of Beijing." , I will invite you to play some other time, but you should reward me with face."
Hearing what Bai Shu said, Wei Ling would not keep him anymore, but sent a few servants to send him out.
When he reached the door and was about to get into the carriage, Xie Ling heard someone calling him from behind.
Turning around, I saw Wei Qiong walking over in a hurry, holding his bracelet in his hand, stuffing it into his hand and saying: "Sister Wei Ling asked me to give you this bracelet. She is entertaining guests, so please come here. Apologize to her, I just forced you to play leaf cards, but I didn't think about you, and let you stop annoying her."
It turned out that just after that, Wei Ling had seen that Xie Ling was a poor man.
In this way, it is really inappropriate to force him to play leaf cards and make people lose jewelry.That's why Wei Ling asked Wei Qiong to help her return the jewelry.
Xie Ling grabbed the bracelet and stood in front of Wei Qiong, feeling extremely ashamed in his heart.I am like a pheasant, thrown into the peacock, even if I shake off the hair on my body with all my strength, I will not have the brilliance of the peacock.
His nose was astringent, and he looked at Wei Qiong with tears in his eyes, and without even saying thank you, he lowered his head and got into the carriage.
The coachman flicked his braids, drove the horse forward, and left Wei's residence all the way in a short while.
Wei Qiong watched the Xie family's carriage go away, but in her mind was the look that Xie Ling gave him just now, and she was still a little dazed.
After the carriage disappeared, Wei Qiong returned to Wei's house.
After seeing Wei Ling, she heard her ask: "Did you return the bracelet to the little brother of the Xie family? What did he say?"
Wei Qiong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Repay it, he seems to be crying."
Wei Ling's heart skipped a beat, she didn't know what she did wrong, why did she actually make people cry?
She sighed and said: "The relationship between the Xie family and His Highness the Second Highness is very good, this brother of the Xie family must not be offended. Forget it, in a few days, I will personally go to the Xie family to make amends."
When they returned to the banquet and sat with the Wen family and Liu family, both of them were a little absent-minded.
On the carriage, Xie Ling did not shed tears, but put away his sadness.
Xie Qin's mood was not high either, the two sat in the car depressed, and the atmosphere in the car was also very depressing for a while,
"Xie Ling, Xie Qin, you came to this banquet today, do you regret it?" Bai Shu asked suddenly.
Xie Qin nodded, he felt a little regretful in his heart, he used to be very happy at home, but he had to be cautious when he got here, and he would always be overwhelmed by others.
Xie Ling didn't speak, and lowered his head, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
But Bai Shu said suddenly: "Xie Ling, I asked you today, what have you learned, you said it was the principle of dealing with others. How do you feel about your dealing with others today?"
Xie Ling was asked by Bai Shu, so he could only recall it, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "I don't know."
He feels that he is keeping his duty and has not deviant behavior, but troubles come to him in everything, and he can't avoid them.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Bai Shu asked again: "Then what do you think about how Miss Qi is treating people today?"
"Not really." Xie Ling said.This Qi Qingwan is domineering and speaks regardless of people's feelings, she is really not a well-bred person.
"Then you and Miss Qi are at Wei's house, do you think everyone respects you more?" Bai Shu asked again.
"Of course it's her?" Xie Ling said.
Is there even a need to ask?No matter what Miss Qi's status is, even if she is so domineering, everyone will still pursue her.
Just because she is the daughter of the Qi family and the fiancée of the eldest prince, she has a backer behind her.
"Miss Qi is not as good as you in dealing with people, but she is respected by others. Today you learn the ability to deal with people and become a good person. At most, you are no more than that Wen Xiu'e, but your status is not as good as her, but you will never surpass her. What else is there to think about." Bai Shu said: "You are so cowardly today because you have a guilty conscience and you know how many days you have wasted before. If you have something in your heart, why are you afraid of being provoked by others? The long-eyed one stretches out its claws, and you can pull them out one by one."
Xie Ling was very touched in his heart, he raised his head to look at Bai Shu, and thought to himself, if he was a pheasant among peacocks today, then Bai Shu was a leopard.
Although he doesn't have the feathers of a peacock, he is stronger than a peacock. When he meets those provocative peacocks, but he shines his paws, the peacocks all tremble.
The carriage stopped suddenly, Bai Shu opened the curtain and said, "Go on, it's still early today, I'll go pick out some jewelry for you."
He himself doesn't like these things, and he doesn't know that Lou's is so black-hearted, not only falsely quoting the price, but also making hollow jewelry for them, so he didn't think of replacing it for them.
Xie Ling got out of the car, only to realize that this was the jewelry store he usually went to.
He went in with Xie Qin, and Xie Qin's face was full of excitement, thanking Bai Shu repeatedly, not knowing how many pieces of jewelry he would get today.
"Choose it yourself, let the guy take care of what you like, and all the accounts will be taken from the public." Bai Shu said.
Xie Ling was a little absent-minded. After looking at it for a while, he didn't pick any jewelry.
He frequently looked in Bai Zhu's direction, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth, walked up to Bai Shu and asked, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead." Bai Shu seemed to know what Xie Ling was going to say, and followed him to the back of the shop.
Xie Ling brought Bai Shu into the accounting room where he usually settles accounts, let Bai Shu sit at the table, and moved a chair to sit opposite him.
"Did you know that I learned those things from the shopkeeper?" Xie Ling asked.
"Of course I knew it earlier." Bai Shu didn't deny it, and said with a light smile.
"Then why didn't you stop me?" Xie Ling asked bluntly.
He had an answer in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.So much so that he felt that he had to ask Bai Shu clearly.
At this time, Bai Shu raised his head and took a deep look at Xie Ling, knocked on the table and said, "What do you think? This jewelry store will be one of your dowry in the future. If you are willing to learn more, it will be beneficial. Why should I?" stop?"
Xie Ling opened his eyes wide at this time, almost thinking that he heard something wrong.
Bai Shu actually said that this jewelry store...is one of his future dowry...?
He has been checking the accounts every day recently, and the monthly net profit of this jewelry store is more than 2000 taels. Such a big profit, but he wants to marry him out?It was Qi Qingwan's dowry, probably not much different from him.
Bai Shu looked at Xie Ling and said, "Your elder brother is all painstaking, but you don't take it to heart at all. You only remember your own suffering and resent him. You are suffering, but your elder brother suffers more than you. You are young, and he also suffers." But only five years older than you. You are a brother, and you can still eat and drink comfortably in Xie's house, but your brother almost lost his life."
"You think he doesn't know anything? In fact, how can you hide what you think from him..."
Speaking of this, Bai Shu sighed and said: "This blood relationship is also about fate. Even if the fate fades, there is no need to force it. It's just that he still cares about your affection after all, and won't let you be bullied for nothing. That's why I have paved the way for you. And I will let him have no worries in this way."
After finishing speaking, Bai Shu got up and left regardless of what Xie Ling was thinking.
Xie Ling stayed where he was, his eyes were empty, unable to recover for a long time.
He remembered that when he was a child, he also regarded Lou as his biological mother.Lou Shi only made out with him in front of everyone, but turned around and ignored him.
At that time, he was very eager for family affection, but his father ignored him, Xie Qi bullied him, and although Xie Huaiyu was kind to him, he was not always at home.
If he gets closer to Xie Huaiyu, Lou will try to find trouble for himself.
It's not that he hasn't looked for Xie Huaiyu, but he can't find anyone.
Xie Huaiyu spent most of his time in the school, and later lived in the academy, returning home only once in a few months.
When he wants someone, that person is always not by his side.
Xie Ling suddenly felt that what Bai Shu said was right, that he was indeed resentful towards Xie Huaiyu.
Resentment is a very delicate word, and it is only applied to those close to us.
Unlike the word hate, there is always a trace of grievance in the middle.
Because Xie Huaiyu was his blood relative and treated him sincerely, that's why he was wronged.
He transferred the resentment he dared not vent to Lou, Xie Qi, and his father to Xie Huaiyu.
Because he was sure that Xie Huaiyu was kind to him and would let him go, so he unscrupulously hurt the family relationship between the two.
When Xie Ling went out again, Xie Qin's jewelry was almost finished.
Seeing that his eyes were swollen, Bai Shu didn't say anything to him, just asked: "What jewelry do you want, pick some quickly, we are leaving."
Xie Ling sniffed and said, "Don't choose, let's go back."
Bai Shu was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure? I won't have time to accompany you to do these things in the future."
"I'm sure." Xie Ling nodded and said, "You're right, the hollow one is lighter, and there's no need to replace it with a new one."
Bai Shu laughed when he heard that, nodded and said, "Then make some new ones, hollow ones are fine."
After speaking, he called the shopkeeper over and told him to make some new jewelry for Xie Ling. The gemstones on it should be the best, but not too heavy, and they can be made hollow.
Holding the newly added box of gold jewelry, Xie Qin looked at Xie Ling inexplicably, not knowing why the other party was stimulated, so why did he not even want the gold jewelry.
But my sister-in-law is really nice, and she helped Xie Ling make a lot of new ones, which made him very envious.How wonderful it would be if he was the younger brother of the elder brother.
After returning, Xie Ling found that the house had also been decorated.
According to the custom of Qiqiao Festival, Qiaobing, melons and fruits are all available, which is only a lot more than Wei's arrangement.
Xie Huaiyu returned earlier today, and when he saw them coming back, he asked about the Wei family with great concern.
Bai Shu smiled and said, "Of course it's very good. I used a little force to hang Ling'er and Qin'er's wishing sticks on the top of the tree. They are taller than everyone else's, and they are so envious."
Xie Huaiyu laughed out loud when he heard the words, this is indeed something Bai Shu would do, he could guess that Bai Shu must have scared those people just by his imagination.
Xie Huaiyu laughed so thirsty that he reached out to pour tea.
But Xie Ling got up first, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Huaiyu, saying: "Brother, drink tea."
He spoke shyly, glanced at Xie Huaiyu, paused and said, "Thank you and sister-in-law."
For a person like Xie Huaiyu, even if Xie Ling didn't say it clearly, he would understand what he meant.
Xie Huaiyu was a little dazed, his eyes were reddish, and he turned to look at Baishu again.
He saw Bai Zhu smiling very nicely, with crooked eyes, looking only at himself, eyes full of satisfaction and happiness.
Xie Huaiyu's heart ached, and he remembered the note written by Bai Shu on Qixi Festival last year.
He wanted to make his life safe and happy, and now on this Qixi Festival, his heart knot for many years was finally opened.
He took Xie Ling's tea and drank it, then held Bai Shu's hand and said, "Bai Shu, I am very happy today."
Bai Shu couldn't stop laughing when she heard the words, her teeth were white, and her smile became even sweeter...
