Chapter 899: In the Presence of Something So Precious
Xie Qiao pondered for a moment, she said frankly, “I live in the Xie Residence, so I naturally came into contact with the world map before you guys did. I had nothing to do, so I copied two copies. The copies are almost identical to the original map. But I thought that when the Baili family painted the world map, they must have wanted it to be perfect, so I restored the ruined parts of the map.”
She also liked the authentic painting very much.
Unfortunately, it was destined to not belong to her.
However, it depended on her intention whether how good the fake was, right?
Xiao Yurong looked at his teacher enviously.
Li Shiyan took this painting seriously. After looking at it carefully, he repeatedly praised, “Not bad. I really didn’t dote on you for nothing!”
Li Shiyan was really happy. He did not expect his eldest disciple to really give him too good a gift as a gift. After all, the only things that he liked were just some brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. However, over the years, he had wandered around and collected a lot of them, Many of them had been placed in that small box for Xie Qiao.
He had even secretly placed a famous inkstone in there that no one knew about. He was afraid that Xie Qiao would not have a suitable gift for him and that the other disciples would be inferior to her.
Who would have thought that his good disciple would actually be able to obtain the world map!
Even if it was a fake, it was still the world map!
Li Shiyan was smiling. The junior brothers had mixed feelings.
Their eldest senior sister’s trick was really a hindrance to them. In the presence of something so precious, no matter what gifts they gave, it would not be enough!
Xiao Yurong was a thirty-year-old man. There was still some hidden bitterness in his eyes. He took his time to take out his poem and a small wooden sculpture and presented them to his teacher respectfully.
Li Shiyan knew his disciples well and he knew what was going on.
However, when he saw the wooden sculpture, Li Shiyan looked at Xie Qiao in surprise.
“You carved this, right?” Li Shiyan looked at Xie Qiao and asked.
Xie Qiao nodded. “Yes, I sell this at my shop.”
It was all for… dead people.
She did not expect her eldest junior brother to be so brave. He took the wooden sculpture that she burned for dead people and gave it to her teacher!
“What kind of shop does Senior Sister run?” Jiang Jinlu was very curious.
Xiao Yurong was stunned for a moment when he heard that. Then he looked a little strange when he saw his eldest senior sister looking at him with a smile. He said with a bitter smile, “Teacher, I was ignorant. I thought Senior Sister’s wooden carving was beautiful, so I chose the best one and gave it to you. I-I forgot that Senior Sister’s shop… sells funeral products.”
His senior sister’s wood carving was really good. He chose this one from a thousand choices.
It was carved into a building. The building was very unique. It was like heaven. It was filled with otherworldliness and there were cloud patterns on the side. It was very beautiful.
It was easy to forget what the original purpose of this thing was.
Xiao Yurong looked very listless. Xie Qiao looked at him sympathetically. Jiang Jinlu was shocked. He did not mean to sow discord. He really did not know that his senior sister’s shop sold such things!
Besides, did Senior Brother Xiao not say that eldest senior sister’s shop sold talismans…
He just did not understand why she sold talismans and such beautiful decorations!
“Don’t be nervous. I think this thing is a good gift from you. It’s precious because you are thoughtful and it was carved by your senior sister. It doesn’t matter what the use of this thing is. It’s just that you need to be careful when you treat others in the future.” Li Shiyan was not angry.
Although his disciple was already thirty years old, he was not old among the scholars. Many people were still studying at his age, but Xiao Yurong had already become a teacher.
The reason why he was so capable was because of years of hard work. He could not help but neglect other things. It was understandable that he did something wrong..
