Chapter 126 Study Room
As the horse pulled the carriage through the palace grounds, listening to the sound of the horses' hooves and the wheels running, Qiao Shinian felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little awkward.
She calmed down and asked, "Where is our first stop?"
Faced with unfamiliar words, Mu Qingchen simply captured the key words accurately: "Didn't you say you were short of jewelry? Then let's go buy some jewelry."
"Then tell Qingyu that we shouldn't go to a place that's too expensive. I don't have much money." Qiao Shinian didn't feel embarrassed because he was short of money. "Do you know any jewelry stores that sell good quality jewelry at low prices, the kind that sell jewelry for only three or five taels each?"
As Qiao Shinian spoke, she took out her purse and looked at the somewhat shriveled purse. She sighed and said, "Don't buy jewelry here next time. It's not worth it."
Mu Qingchen put away the flowers and said to the outside of the car: "Let's go back home first."
"Ok?"
Qiao Shinian looked up at Mu Qingchen, wondering: "Aren't we going to buy jewelry first?"
"I'll go back and put away the gift you gave me first. I'm afraid it might get damaged." Mu Qingchen explained, and then said, "It won't take too long."
"That's perfect. Can you ask your men to find me a piece of wood? It has to be smooth and flat. We can bring it tonight before we watch the ceremony to invite the gods. It should be this big." Qiao Shinian gestured with his hands, "It has to be very flat, very flat, so that I can put drawing paper on it. Tonight's activities must be very lively, and I want to record this moment of excitement."
As Qiao Shinian spoke, his eyes were full of longing and expectation.
"Oh, by the way, do you have drawing paper at home? No, I should say the kind of very hard paper that won't tear easily, the kind of drawing paper I gave you that day." After Qiao Shinian finished speaking, he looked at Mu Qingchen with anticipation.
Mu Qingchen nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes."
"Then take it, and I don't have to buy paper."
"Yeah." Mu Qingchen nodded.
The September sun is still hot, and the light it emits is scorching the earth.
Qiao Shinian followed Mu Qingchen through the corridor.
Arriving at the door of the study, Qiao Shinian looked at the person guarding the door and stopped consciously to wait for Mu Qingchen to go in and come out.
Noticing that the person behind him stopped, Mu Qingchen turned around and saw Qiao Shinian looking around curiously, and was also inquisitive about the two people standing at the door.
"Come in."
"No, I'll wait for you outside." Qiao Shinian waved his hand, indicating that he would not go in.
Mu Qingchen saw Qiao Shinian's concerns and said, "It's okay. There's nothing secret in it."
"It can't be true." Qiao Shinian didn't believe it at all.
Is there no secret? Why are there two people standing guard at the door?
Mu Qingchen looked at the green mountains and gray fog and said, "Let's go down."
"Yes!"
The two of them left without any hesitation as soon as they heard the order.
Mu Qingchen stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture: "Come and take a look at my study, just as a tour."
Qiao Shinian took two steps forward hesitantly. If she didn't go in after people had done this, would she be suspected of being a guilty thief? Although she was indeed not interested in his secrets.
The first thing she saw when she entered was the bookshelves on both sides. Opposite her was a window. On the left side of the window was a painting, which she had drawn as a birthday gift for Mu Qingchen. On the right side of the painting was a bookshelf.
A desk about two meters long was lying there, with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it. Next to the desk was a lamp stand, with six lamps on it.
The left side of the study seems to be entirely filled with bookshelves, and behind the two rows of bookshelves on the right side you can see an extremely elegant screen.
"There is a low couch over there. Sometimes when I'm tired and don't want to go back to my room, I can rest here." Seeing Qiao Shinian looking at the screen, Mu Qingchen began to introduce the study.
Qiao Shinian followed Mu Qingchen and walked over the short steps to the desk. The desk was very tidy and the scenery outside could be seen through the window.
"Over here are some miscellaneous books, and over here are books on etiquette." Mu Qingchen took Qiao Shinian to visit his study, which also had several pots of flowers and plants in it.
"There are so many books here." Qiao Shinian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the books on three or four shelves.
"Would you like to take a look?" Mu Qingchen picked up a book and handed it to the rather reserved Qiao Shinian.
Qiao Shinian took it, flipped through two pages, and gave it back to Mu Qingchen with a wry smile: "Forget it, I don't recognize many of the words."
She could never have imagined that she was also an illiterate here, the kind of illiterate who couldn't even read.
"Well, it's okay. I'll teach you when I have the chance in the future." Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian lovingly, who was frowning and looking a little distressed.
Qiao Shinian looked at Mu Qingchen with eyes full of admiration, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's a deal! I'm an adult, and I learn things relatively quickly. I won't cause you any trouble."
"Yeah." Mu Qingchen nodded, walked back to the desk, looked at the wooden box and asked, "Where do you usually put this?"
Qiao Shinian pointed to the corner of the desk and said, "Put it there as a decoration, or put it in the bedroom... ahem, next to the bed in the bedroom as a display."
"Oh~" Mu Qingchen took out the flowers and placed them in the center of the desk, "Like this?"
Qiao Shinian looked at this incompatible scene and sighed, "It doesn't seem to match your desk. This color is too bright."
The overly modern handicrafts seem out of place in this quaint study, giving a sense of collision and tearing; the overly bright colors are extremely eye-catching in this dull world.
"In that case, let's go to the bedroom." Mu Qingchen put away the flowers and walked out again with Qiao Shinian.
Qiao Shinian grabbed the corner of Mu Qingchen's sleeve. Without looking, she knew that this thing would definitely be out of place in Mu Qingchen's bedroom.
She lowered her head and said somewhat disappointedly: "It's just a small thing, you can just put it in a corner. Don't care so much, you should know at a glance that this thing is not expensive, it's just an ordinary object, it's not worth your trouble to put it in such a place."
Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian. For some reason, he wanted to reach out and touch her lowered head. He wanted to hold her hand and say, "I like it very much, so I have to treat it seriously. I want to know where the flower you gave me should be placed most appropriately. I want to find the most suitable place for it. If there is no suitable place for it, I will order someone to create a suitable place for it."
These words went around in his mind for a few times, but he never said them out loud.
"Then, I'll just find a random place to put it as you said." He said softly.
Qiao Shinian nodded. At this moment, she saw her place in this world through this modern craft. She was very eye-catching, and her eccentricity was out of place in this era.
Then she needs to be stained by the color of this world as soon as possible, so that she can be lost in the crowd and become an unremarkable existence, so that she will not be the first to stand out.
