Chapter 335: Chapter 254 What’s Going On?_2
Qiu Zhenwei’s mother heard this, gently pushed her son aside, her face full of smiles. Although her words seemed to praise Liu Wentian’s rural household registration as not bad, her eyes were disdainful and her tone somewhat contemptuous.
Qiu Zhenwei, upon hearing Liu Wentian’s words, was stunned for a moment, then almost burst out laughing, feeling the sense of crisis in his heart completely vanish.
“Damn it, a little peasant, an outsider, daring to come to the city to compete with him for a woman, doesn’t he look at what he really is!!”
In his view, Qin Qihuang probably just felt good about Liu Wentian because he played the piano well, but a noble and elegant woman like Qin Qihuang would never really end up with a little peasant!!
Even if she agreed, her family would not agree.
He looked at Qin Qihuang’s parents and brother, indeed, their faces had slightly changed.
Qin Qihuang’s parents didn’t necessarily look down on peasants, but given their daughter’s excellent conditions and countless young talents pursuing her, they too hoped Qin Qihuang could find someone with better conditions.
At least they could be worry-free about food and clothing for life, and it would be best if the couple had some common topics and shared the same views, which also required both to have a somewhat similar growing environment.
Qin Qihuang was a typical urban wealthy beauty, herself also brimming with talent. Being together with a little peasant, in their eyes, was very mismatched!!
Their faces didn’t show any particular expression, but in their hearts, they rated Liu Wentian lower, at least in terms of family background, he was much worse than Qiu Zhenwei!!
Qin Chengtu directly frowned, looked at Liu Wentian, and his expression was just short of asking Liu Wentian to leave!!
Qiu Zhenwei’s lips curled up, feeling triumphant, convinced Liu Wentian was no match for him. He looked at Liu Wentian with a mocking gaze and scoffed,
“Liu Wentian, this is your first time coming to Uncle Qin’s house, right?? How come you don’t even know to bring some gifts?? This city is not like your countryside, where you just run around aimlessly after filling your belly, coming over for the first time without bringing gifts, you probably don’t take the Qin family seriously at all, right??”
Liu Wentian also saw the expressions of Qin Qihuang’s parents, there was no disgust or disdain in their eyes, just a kind of solemnity, probably feeling that a rural person like himself was not worthy of their daughter.
All parents in the world hope for their daughters to marry better, especially since Qin Qihuang was so outstanding, it was normal for the other side to have higher demands, he didn’t mind.
Hearing Qiu Zhenwei’s words, he only then realized that he indeed had forgotten to bring something, that was a bit impolite, but he originally didn’t understand that Qin Qihuang would play this move, saying he was her pursuer!!
Before Liu Wentian could speak, Qin Qihuang already coldly said, “Qiu Zhenwei, what are you saying?? Do you have a big issue with rural folks?? As far as I know, wasn’t your grandfather also a peasant!!”
Qiu Zhenwei’s face stiffened, awkwardly saying, “Qihuang, I didn’t mean that, I just felt that it was impolite of him not to bring a gift for his first visit.”
Qin Qihuang frowned, but felt somewhat apologetic towards Liu Wentian. Originally, she meant to bring him over for a meal to thank him, but because of Qiu Zhenwei being there, she ended up introducing him as her pursuer, changing the stance, and thus the meaning of the gesture changed.
If Liu Wentian was here to accept their gratitude, then not bringing a gift was not a big deal, but if he came as her pursuer, not bringing something was not knowing the proper manners.
What to bring didn’t matter much, but expressing the sentiment did.
At this moment, she couldn’t say that Liu Wentian wasn’t pursuing her at all, feeling increasingly disgusted with Qiu Zhenwei, she frowned and said, “Whether or not Liu Wentian brings something is none of your business?? It’s our family matter, and you don’t need to worry about it!!”
Unable to help himself, Qin Chengtu rolled his eyes and said, “Sis, why are you protecting him so much?? This guy likes you, right?? Since that’s the case, not knowing to bring something when visiting shows that you’re not very important in his heart. We’re not greedy for his stuff, but some sentiment should be shown!!”
“Mind your own business!!” Qin Qihuang glared at Qin Chengtu.
Regarding this brother, she also felt a bit troubled. Qin Chengtu was very smart, his academic performance was also very good, and he was about to graduate from Penglai University this year. However, his character was somewhat stubborn, he wouldn’t listen to anyone and no one could manage him.
Seeing Qin Chengtu siding with him, Qiu Zhenwei’s face revealed a smile, full of triumph, looking towards Father Qin, he said, “Uncle Qin, today I specifically brought a calligraphy piece to present to you.”
“Oh??” Father Qin’s face showed some interest.
If it was some other expensive gift, he wouldn’t care, but Qiu Zhenwei clearly knew how to cater to his tastes, intending to gift him a piece of calligraphy.
Although Father Qin had his own business career, he also had a hobby, which was calligraphy!!
His accomplishment in calligraphy was also very high, being a member of the provincial Calligraphy Association. Qin Qihuang’s fondness for classical things like the guqin and guzheng was also influenced by her father.
Qiu Zhenwei, smiling, took out a piece of calligraphy from the bag he brought, and with pride, glanced at Liu Wentian, then spread the piece on the table.@@novelbin@@
This piece of calligraphy’s paper had already yellowed slightly, the characters on it were very simple, reading “Mang Feng Cheng Xiang, Wan Shi Ru Yi” in eight big characters, signed by Dong Qichang, and even stamped with Dong Qichang’s seal!!
Dong Qichang, one of the ten greatest calligraphers of ancient China, the most outstanding and influential painter and calligrapher in the late Qing dynasty. If this piece of calligraphy was genuine, then even with just eight characters, it was worth a fortune!!
