The next day, Xi Lanting personally sent Yun Qiao to school.
Yun Qiao did not delay studying. She was focused all morning and refused to think about other things.
During lunch, she invited two female classmates to her birthday party.
The two of them were naturally very happy.
Yun Qiao added: "Don't give me too expensive a birthday gift. You two can just give me an ordinary pen."
Both female classmates couldn't help laughing.
Yun Qiao didn't want anyone to waste money and receive a bunch of useless and expensive gifts.
It hurts when someone else spends money on a gift; she doesn't like it when she receives it and is upset.
It's better to make it clear. Since we are friends, we naturally won't mind this straightforwardness.
Xi Lanting came to pick her up from school in the afternoon.
Asked what gift she wanted, Yun Qiao said: "You can give me a knife, as long as it's sharp, it doesn't need to be a famous collection.
A weapon like a knife is just a tool. If you want to be good with the knife, the person who uses it must have the ability."
Xi Lanting: "..."
The wife's request was too outrageous, but Xi Lanting still nodded in agreement.
The next day, Yun Qiao came home from school and got his gift, a good knife.
The knife is one foot long, narrow and thin; the scabbard is made of fine cowhide with no embellishment; the handle has a winding pattern that is very handy, and the top is dotted with a small topaz.
Pulling the sword out of its sheath, the blade is dark in color and looks very inconspicuous.
Xi Lanting introduced to her: "This is the warlord's hidden sword, I bought it specially.
He said it was made from red black stone, so it doesn't look too bright, but it's very sharp."
Red stone is the ancient name, probably because of the name of a very rare iron ore, which was smelted to create this knife.
"...the warlord's knife was given to him by someone else. He has been keeping it for many years."
Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao wanted to find something to try, and there happened to be a vase next to her.
She just wanted to see how it went, so she put it in the vase.
As a result, it penetrated the bottle smoothly.
She opened her eyes slightly.
When it was pulled out, water poured out of the vase and wet the carpet.
Xi Lanting frowned slightly, feeling that his mountain king would go to the house to remove the tiles if he didn't fight for a day.
"What a powerful knife."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Thank you very much, I like it very much.
How much did you spend?"
"You don't need to spend money to do business with the warlord."
Xi Lanting said, "Of course he has his own arrangements. I will go to Peiping later to do things for him."
Yun Qiao understood.
She was still very happy, found a piece of cloth, wiped the blade of the sword carefully, wiped it clean, and put it back into the scabbard.
The water in the vase wet the carpet, so Xi Lanting took her out to eat and ordered Xi Zhengzheng to replace the carpet.
Yun Qiao insisted on bringing the knife.
"Bring it, there is no mountain king who doesn't carry a sword."
Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
Is she about to be treated with cynicism again?
"Where is the birthday party arranged?"
Yun Qiao chatted casually and was in a good mood. He hung the knife on his waist and asked, "Are you looking for a restaurant or a hotel?"
"Where do you want to be?"
Xi Lanting asked, "I'm prepared for both sides, just pick one."
"I want to invite two of my classmates and other friends. There are dozens of people in total. It's not suitable to book a hotel, so why not stay in another hotel."
Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting nodded: "Okay, Chang'an will send someone to make arrangements."
Yun Qiao took his arm.
The two of them ate on the street and strolled around.
Then I saw a man walking quickly forward with a boy in his arms.
The boy cried and shouted: "Let me go, let me go!"
The man slapped the boy hard on the back: "I just know how to play, go home and eat!"
"I don't know you, let me go!"
It seems like nothing more than a naughty child and a grumpy father.
Yun Qiao walked over quickly.
She crossed the road very quickly, blocking the man's way.
She was extremely beautiful. Under the light of the street lamp, she had a unique charm. She looked at the man and the child with a smile: "What are you doing?"
