Chapter 664 Rhetoric style (one more)
"Okay." Xia Zhaoyi responded and took his seat.

Nie Huimo was still standing, looking at the girl with unsure eyes.

Although two people are seated facing each other, the space between them is enough for four or five people to dance.

Mrs. Qu signaled the butler who had been standing there and dared not leave to order the food and drink. When the butler left, Mrs. Qu looked at Nie Huimo and found that he was still staring at Xia Zhaoyi.

Mrs. Qu held back her temper, and said to Xia Zhaoyi: "A Li, do you plan to leave when you come to Hengxiang this time?"

"Afternoon or tomorrow." Xia Zhaoyi replied.

"So soon?" Mrs. Qu said, "You seem to have only been here not long ago."

"Well, Ben was just passing by."

Mrs. Qu nodded, with a trace of guilt on her face: "A Li, I'm sorry this time."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled at her: "No, I'm the one who troubled Madam."

From Mrs. Qu's expression, it can be seen that she was also very surprised that Nie Huimo came here.

And, Mrs. Qu is protecting her.

Seeing her smile, Mrs. Qu also smiled, and her tense thoughts finally improved.

"Ali," Mrs. Qu said sincerely, "You look so pretty when you smile, you can resolve any worries."

"Madam Xie's compliment, Madam's smile is also beautiful, refreshing and heroic, like a spring breeze."

Mrs. Qu smiled even more happily when she heard this.

But with a smile, he looked towards Nie Huimo, only to see that Nie Huimo's eyes seemed to be glued, and he kept looking at Xia Zhaoyi.

A pair of eyes that can't see clearly what kind of emotion it is, deep, profound, and thoughtful.

Forget it, Mrs. Qu compromised and felt that it was good enough for him to just watch like this and not say anything, just don't make trouble.

Not long after the butler left, the first side dishes and pastries came up quickly.

Although I didn't expect Nie Huimo to come, but Qu's mansion is never short of delicacies.

Sauce-flavored pork ribs, rose cakes, ruyi cakes, shredded chicken and candied beef, flower lotus paste noodles...

Each item is exquisite and delicious, served on small gold Yaotai tableware with blue background, the whole set is extremely expensive, Tianhe Folk Kiln produced only [-] sets in total, Mrs. Qu loved it, and it took her a lot of effort to get [-] sets.

Mrs. Qu began to explain the ingredients of each dish to Xia Zhaoyi in detail.

Just like every time before, she accurately grasped the size of enthusiasm, one step more to feel tired, one less point to feel fake, just right.

She spoke vividly, and Xia Zhaoyi was amused several times, but Nie Huimo remained indifferent, only looking at the girl across from him the whole time.

Although it was daytime, the room was still lit, and bright and soft light came out from the lamp holder. The girl's face was like a boiled egg with its shell removed, plump and plump, white and translucent.

Settlement?

That was not Nie Huimo's current mood.

He knew he shouldn't get caught up in that dangerous thought, but it was too difficult right now.

Regardless of all identities, he is just a man, and she is just a woman.

A young man with a lot of military exploits and a love of conquest.

A youthful and energetic man with a sweet smile and skin as white as cream.

Yin and Yang should complement each other, but unfortunately, he clearly knows that they cannot be on the same road.

However, the way Nie Huimo looked at her suddenly became intriguing.

She should know that he was looking at her all the time, so she just sat there as if nothing had happened, unaffected at all, not even disgusted?
For some reason, Nie Huimo found it dull and meaningless.

He finally withdrew his gaze and looked up at Mrs. Qu, who was in the chief seat.

Mrs. Qu turned her eyes immediately.

"Farewell." Nie Huimo said calmly, got up and left.

Before leaving, he glanced at the girl again, she saw that she was eating with her head down, her movements were extremely natural, and she was not moved by him at all.

Nie Huimo looked forward and ignored him.

Mrs. Qu's eyes followed him and left. After he disappeared, Mrs. Qu called the maid at the side and told her in a low voice to see if Nie Huimo had left.

The little maid ran away and came back after a long time, saying that she had really left the house.

Only then did Mrs. Qu heave a long sigh of relief, she took out a handkerchief and wiped it on her forehead, although she didn't sweat at all.

She looked at Xia Zhaoyi who had been eating over there, feeling guilty, and said with a light smile, "Ali."

Xia Zhaoyi looked up and smiled: "Madam Qu, you have worked hard."

"Ah?" Mrs. Qu laughed, "How can this be called hard work, Ari, I'm sorry, this meal was a disappointment, because I didn't expect him to come over suddenly."

"No," Xia Zhaoyi said, "These are delicious, not a bit of a disappointment."

She did eat a lot, and the dishes were not finished yet, but she ate a little of each of the dishes that had been served, and the total was at least two bowls of rice.

Mrs. Qu looked at it, and finally felt a little comforted, and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It seems to suit Ah Li's appetite, yes," Mrs. Qu looked at the calligraphy and paintings, "A Li, you can open it."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then opened the calligraphy and painting on the side.

Since she came back with these calligraphy and paintings, all her thoughts have been on these calligraphy and paintings, but she has never been impatient.

It's just that her thoughts will inevitably be turbulent. In order to distract her attention, she kept eating, chewing slowly, but she also ate a lot.

The scroll unfolded slowly, and the words and paintings on the paper appeared vividly.

Mrs. Qu's eyes moved from the calligraphy and painting to the girl's face.

It is rare to see too much ups and downs on the girl's face, and her eyes rest quietly on the painting, and her emotions cannot be seen.

"A Li," Mrs. Qu asked, "but that Tang Xiangsi you know?"

Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "It's the person I'm looking for."

On the paper was his handwriting, without the date of inscription, and the inscription was a generous name, Tang Xiangsi.

"Among the mountains and floating clouds, there are endless expanses of cold smoke, and the city is full of frost and dew. The drunken country pretends to be calm, tearing heartbroken, and the shadows of flowers in the world are empty on the moon."

The painting is a piece of mountain and moon, half of Hengxiang, and the painting skills are excellent.

Inferring the time, he came out from Qianqiu Palace?
Xia Zhaoyi opened another one, and it also didn't have the date of signing.

"Green bamboos and green mountains are old, the boat returns early, the shadows of wild geese are slanting around the sky, the misty rain in Nanhu Lake in the evening, and there is less time to wake up from alcohol."

He seems to have a preference for such rhetorical styles.

"He must be very old," Mrs. Qu said.

Xia Zhaoyi paused, raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Qu: "...Maybe."

"Uh, maybe?" Mrs. Qu said.

I find this word strange.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't answer.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't believe in many strange things before, but now she couldn't help it.

Moreover, she calmly accepted the fact that Tang Xiangsi might have lived for hundreds of years.

Or, die hundreds of years ago and wake up hundreds of years later.

The so-called deceased, she and he are both.

There is a box next to it.

Xia Zhaoyi picked up the small brocade box and asked, "Madam, can I open it?"

"I brought it back for you to see," Mrs. Qu said, "The contents inside were given to my aunt by Tang Xiangsi."
