Chapter 168 Framed: Roll Down the Stairs (2)
Old man Jun, don’t think that if you put my grandson’s wife in the military compound all day long, I will be out of my way! Humph!
"This is for you!" Tang Shishi didn't pay attention, and didn't know where Mr. Ling took it out. It was like a magic trick. He had a box with exquisite packaging in his hand. He put it on the table and pushed it in front of Tang Shishi.
"For me?" Tang Shishi looked at the box curiously, looked at Old Master Ling and asked.
"Well, take a look!" Old Master Ling looked at Tang Shishi's eyes with doubts and encouraged him.
When Tang Shishi heard this, she gently and carefully opened the thick and gorgeous purple wrapping paper, and then saw a pink and purple crystal box inside.
Tang Shishi opened the crystal box, and there was a small, square box in the style of treasure chest.
The box looks quite pleasing, with rose gold and small treasure chest style, very exquisite. There are three-dimensional roses inlaid with red gems of different sizes on the four corners of the box, which are gorgeous and dazzling. In the middle of the box, there is a big blooming rose flower. The whole box has a protruding rose pattern. There are some small gems inlaid around the box, which are also arranged and combined into the shape of roses. The belly of the treasure chest is also a blooming rose inlaid with rubies. However, compared to the one in the center of the box, it is much smaller. The keyhole is on the center of the flower, with a rose gold key on it, which is small and retro. There is also a little red light on the key handle. The whole treasure chest is full of brilliance, gorgeous and dazzling.
Tang Shishi looked at the gift given by Mr. Ling and frowned. She would not suspect that the gems on them were all fake.
"I don't like it?" Old Master Ling saw that Tang Shishi was just looking at her, frowned slightly, and asked with a somewhat ugly face. In fact, he was still a little nervous at this moment.
Tang Shishi had a headache for the old man who was in a state of uncertainty in front of her. She picked up the small box and found that the small box was not big, but heavy, and her heart became a little heavier. Just a box was so expensive. The things in it - Tang Shishi couldn't help but suffocate when she thought of this. Can she refuse to accept it?
My fingers pinched the rose-gold key and twisted it gently. The mechanism started. A song "Wedding in a Dream" slowly rang out. The convex face of the ruby on the small box cracked around. A rose-gold platform decorated with gems slowly rose. In the middle of the platform, a pair of men and women in wedding dresses danced to the music, with happy and sweet expressions.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a music box!
Tang Shishi held the unique-shaped music box in both hands, and looked at the two little people standing in a bush of roses and dancing to the music. The man looked like Ling Rui's Q version, and the woman looked like her Q version, revealing the first happy smile after Mr. Ling's study.
It is not for the valuable gem above, but for the exquisite design and the thoughts of Mr. Ling.
Old Master Ling looked at Tang Shishi's unprepared smile, and his heart, which was a little nervous just now, relaxed.
After the song was over, the rose-gold platform slowly sank, the mechanism on the small box moved again, and the convex surface of the rose returned to its original state. Tang Shishi held the small box and looked at Old Master Ling and said sincerely: "Thank you, I like it very much. It's just too expensive! This is probably the most expensive music box in the world so far!"
"That's right, my old man gives gifts, but he doesn't take anything casually!" Old Master Ling said arrogantly, glanced at the tumbler with a black-faced Bao Gong on the table.
"Yes, you are rich and powerful! If you dislike it, I will take it away today and put it in Grandpa Jun's study. He will definitely like it!" Tang Shishi followed the eyes of Mr. Ling and saw the large tumbler he gave on the desk. It turned out that this old man was referring to Sang and scolding Huai, disgusting his petty arrogance. The gift he gave was too cold!
After Tang Shishi finished speaking, she put down the music box given by Mr. Ling, stood up and hugged the tumbler!
"Damn girl, I'm so embarrassed to go back the things I gave out. I really don't know how to write the word "shamed"?" Old Master Ling was so angry that he stuck out his beard, stretched out his crutch, and knocked on the back of Tang Shishi's hand.
"Stinky old man! You despise me first!" Tang Shishi pretended to rub the knocked back of her hand, complaining dissatisfiedly.
"Hmph! The things I gave to me are cheaper than those I gave to the butler. You're so embarrassed to say it!" Old Master Ling was very upset when he thought of this!
"The gift is light and affection is heavy, it has nothing to do with money!" Tang Shishi reached out and pushed the black-faced tumbler and said, "Besides, how did you know that this gift is cheaper than Geng's one?" He really had no eyesight! Tang Shishi thought angrily.
"Isn't it? This thing is just a layer of skin, and some sand can cost? You won't tell me that it's actually gold inside, right?" Old Master Ling twitched. This damn girl, saving money is not so good! It makes him embarrassed in front of his family!
"Your Uncle Geng's one is still an electronic product at least!" When he thought of Geng Changsheng's small black box, he was either listening to storytelling or opera, shaking his head every day, being unsteady and enjoying it, he felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the black-faced bun on the table that was neither good nor useful.
In this dead girl’s heart, her status is even worse than Geng Changsheng!
Tang Shishi thrust calmly, and this smelly old man was really awkward! She didn't say anything, and flipped the tumbler over quickly, opened it, and took out the things inside for Old Master Ling to show.
"There are all excellent Chinese herbal medicines, which can calm your mind and clear the fire and open your mind. The skin of this tumbler is also made of a special material. Soaked by Chinese medicine, the small round holes on it are designed very reasonable. Even if the tumbler is pushed hard and the swing reaches the maximum, the medicinal materials inside will not fall out." Tang Shishi explained the special features of the tumbler in her hand to Old Master Ling one by one, and then put the medicinal materials back and packed them.
"There is really a mystery inside!" Old Master Ling smiled.
"That's it, I chose the gift for you, but I spent the most effort. Later, I heard Ling Rui say that you always like to stay in the study to play chess and nourish your spirits, so I chose it. It has both good meanings and can also help you protect your health. You even dislike it, don't pull it down!" Tang Shishi said, hugging the decorated tumbler in her arms, as if she was planning to take it back.
"Let go! Who said I don't want it?" Old Master Ling was anxious and snatched the tumbler and hugged him in his arms. Only then did he realize that this thing was really heavy. Unexpectedly, there was another world inside. No wonder he felt much more refreshed in the study during the past few days. It turned out that it was all the credit of this tumbler. It was hard for this dead girl to spend this thought for him!
Old Master Ling put the tumbler back on the desk and pushed it hard. Looking at his clumsy swaying look, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he couldn't help but push it again. He sniffed it hard. There was indeed a smell of herbs in the air, which was refreshing. It's been so many days since he was here that he actually smelled it. He was too worried before.
Seeing that Old Master Ling was having fun, Tang Shishi stood up, hugged the music box given to her by Old Master Ling and said, "If you are fine, I'll go back!"
When Mr. Ling heard Tang Shishi say he was leaving, he moved his lips and said something in his heart surged on his tongue. After lingering for a while, he suppressed it back again. He sighed in his heart: No hurry! Anyway, this girl comes every afternoon from now on. He can't show that she is too anxious to avoid this girl's suspicion.
"Well, go back and have a good rest. I will send a driver to pick you up tomorrow afternoon!" After thinking silently, Old Master Ling finally said so.
"I understand!" Tang Shishi responded lazily and walked out.
"Damn girl! Please give me some attention!" Old Master Ling saw Tang Shishi's appearance, afraid that she would change her mind again, so he quickly reminded him with a stern attitude.
"I understand!" Tang Shishi still had the same tone, pushed the door out.
Old Master Ling glared at Tang Shishi's back angrily, turned around helplessly, pushed the black-faced tumbler, and murmured: "You must be successful, don't be beaten, do you know?"
The black-faced tumbler swayed for a while, and finally stood firm in front of Mr. Ling. The light of relief appeared in the eyes of Mr. Ling.
Jun Nuanxin sent Tang Shishi back to Jun’s courtyard. He said that there was something wrong, so he hurriedly drove away.
Tang Shishi pushed the door and walked in. It happened that Mr. Jun and the guard Xiao Li had just returned from fishing.
"Girl, what do you say about Old Man Ling?" Old Master Jun couldn't wait to ask when he saw Tang Shishi.
This afternoon, he didn't catch any fish, but only caught a few young fishes, because he had been worried about not being able to calm down and unable to concentrate.
"I just told me to go to his place to practice chess every afternoon from tomorrow." Tang Shishi told Mr. Ling to Mr. Jun about the results he discussed with Mr. Ling.
"I go every afternoon? What tricks does this old man Ling play? Just because he is a chess game, he can guide you? I don't believe it!" Mr. Jun shouted anxiously when he heard that Tang Shishi would go to Ling's house every afternoon.
"He is familiar with Bai Mo's way." Tang Shishi didn't like to go to Ling's house either. Although Mr. Ling's performance today subverted the impression he left in her heart before, Tang Shishi did not accept him like Mr. Jun, and felt that there was always a layer between them.
"It's clearly an excuse!" Mr. Jun was silent for a while because of Tang Shishi's words, and then roared unwillingly.
Mr. Jun is extremely angry now. Why doesn’t he play Go? That would be great if it was a military chess competition or a chess competition!
"Grandpa, I'll just go there in the afternoon. I'll come back to make dinner for you in the evening." Tang Shishi was funny. She knew in her heart that the two old men, Mr. Ling and Mr. Jun, loved the most, were fighting and competing.
Thinking of this, Tang Shishi hid the gift from Mr. Ling in her hand behind her.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Tang Shishi's little movements could not escape Mr. Jun's sharp eyes.
"It was a gift from Mr. Ling." Seeing that he could not hide it, Tang Shishi took it out, "It was a music box."
Mr. Jun looked at the box with the gem shining in Tang Shishi's hand. When he saw Tang Shishi turn the key and the music box sing and dancing, the two little men were still built according to the appearance of Ling Rui and Tang Shishi, he said angrily: "This old man!"
After Mr. Jun finished speaking, he walked into the room with his hands behind his back, his steps like the wind.
Tang Shishi laughed it off and followed Mr. Jun and entered the house.
After Mr. Jun entered the house, he went straight to the study, while Tang Shishi took the music box and returned to the bedroom, placing the music box upright at the head of the bed.
The courtyard is much safer than outside. Most people can't get in here. Even if you put a box of US dollars in the bedroom, it will be fine. So there is no need to worry about safety issues like when you first moved in. Holding a bracelet, you are so nervous that you don't know where to hide it.
Tang Shishi leaned on the head of the bed and read a book for a while, but she fell asleep for some reason.
In her sleep, Tang Shishi felt someone was adding to her face. The warm breath made her neck feel itchy and hot. She couldn't help but turn over and mutter, "Husband, stop making trouble!"
Ling Rui heard a hoarse voice in Tang Shishi's charming voice, and her body became even hotter. Suxing took off his clothes, pulled open the quilt, and got in.
Tang Shishi felt the heat spreading, and she could no longer sleep. She opened her eyes and patted Ling Rui's big hand in anger, complaining in a faint tone: "Old hooligan, you can't be honest!"
"No! You all say I'm a hooligan!" Ling Rui answered very simply, opening his mouth to bite the soft cotton on Tang Shishi's chest.
Tang Shishi's body trembled, and then she realized that she had been stripped of her own by this old hooligan at some point. She lamented in her heart that her vigilance at this stage was getting worse and worse.
"It's time for me to get up and cook!" Tang Shishi pushed Ling Rui's body and said.
