Chapter 183: Showing Attention to Miss Zhizhi
Simple but thoughtful packaging.
Wrap it with shredded paper and sealing tape, put it in a gift box of the right size, and put a gift bag on the outside.
After Li Zhi unwrapped the snow pear paper.
Then she saw that the watch inside was the Hermès Himalaya that had made her so excited at the first sight of it on the plane.
She was embarrassed to take it.
So I looked at it for a few seconds and then put it back in the cabinet.
And now it's back in her hands.
Li Zhi raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yubai, she felt that her elder brother seemed to have seen through her thoughts a long time ago. In fact, he knew that she did not forget it, but put it back on purpose.
But Qi Yubai said nothing, only smiled softly: "Don't forget to bring your belongings next time."
Personal belongings...
Li Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly.
The eldest brother did not regard the bag as a gift from anyone in the family, but rather as a personal belonging of hers.
It was originally hers.
And he just helped her get it off the plane.
Qi Yubai had already said this much, which was enough to take care of her emotions and thoughts. Li Zhi felt that there was no need to show any pretense in front of her family.
Her eyes were bright and she smiled: "Thank you, big brother."
Lou Yanjing stood beside him casually, and also shouted nonchalantly: "Thank you, big brother."
Qi Yubai retracted his gaze and glanced at Lou Yanjing, then closed his eyes, rubbed Li Zhi's head gently while holding his Buddhist beads, "Dinner will be served in about a quarter of an hour."
"Okay." Li Zhi nodded obediently.
She couldn't let go of the bag, and it seemed as if several little fireworks were exploding in her heart.
Qi Yubai handed the bag to Li Zhi and turned to leave.
Li Zhi was swinging her feet happily, and suddenly she remembered that her elder brother had told her before that there were still many things in her closet at home that her mother had prepared for her.
Then she was suddenly barefoot on the carpet.
Then he went to look at her cloakroom.
Sure enough, I saw that this isolated area was filled with walls of Hermès, as well as classic, limited edition and seasonal new products from other luxury brands.
And on the other side is the closet.
She just casually looked through a few pieces of clothing, and she felt that the beauty of each piece touched her heart!
Aaaaahhh!!!
Looks great! She likes them all!
Li Zhi couldn't help but scream in her heart. She excitedly fell on the sofa in the cloakroom, stretching her slender white legs, and accepted these things almost completely calmly.
Lou Yanjing stood casually with his shoulder against the wall.
He crossed his arms, squinted his eyes and looked at Li Zhi, who looked like she was being teased, and chuckled lazily: "Little money-grubber."
Li Zhi suddenly stopped moving her legs.
She sat up from the sofa unconvinced, and looked at Lou Yanjing with her bright eyes: "No girl can resist so many beautiful things!!!"
She likes it.
She loves it!
She only hated that there were not eight hundred Li Zhis in this world so that each of them could wear a new set of clothes!
Lou Yanjing said lazily, "Yes, otherwise how could I have the opportunity to show my courtesy to Miss Zhizhi?"
This had been her plan since Li Zhi opened her eyes that morning and saw the Laperla silk nightgown she was wearing.
Then there were the skirts and high heels that had been prepared for her, and even the pair of rare diamond high heels named "Swan".
And later the diamond tiara...
Lou Yanjing was like a lion that had been lurking for a long time. He had already set his sights on Li Zhi's preferences and was just waiting for an opportunity to pounce upon her so that he could launch his most fierce courtship offensive.
If he hadn't known that Li Zhi couldn't refuse these, he probably wouldn't know where to start.
The same is true for the Qi family now.
Start with her preferences, start with the details, let her gradually understand that there is always someone who is willing and even eager to have a chance to love her.
Li Zhi changed into some more homely clothes.
She picked them out from the wardrobe that Yu Lanci prepared for her, and she completely accepted the Qi family's response.
She strolled around Qi Garden for a while.
Then she met Qi Jiashu and Sang Ying who came to look for her. They said that the dinner had been prepared in the front hall and they happened to go there together.
Li Zhi has already felt comfortable with the Qi family's wealth.
When she heard Qi Jiashu say the word "dinner party", her eyelids just twitched slightly and she didn't show any surprise.
The dining area at Qiyuan is in the front yard.
This is the first courtyard on the central axis that Li Zhi encountered when he first entered the house and crossed the White Jade Bridge.
It was marked as the living room on the map that Qi Jiashu drew as a child.
Back then he was still a child and had no idea what gardens and courtyards were. He only had a vague understanding that other people's homes held meetings and meals in places like the living room and the dining room.
The restaurant is independent and is divided into two parts: inside and outside.
The restaurant outside is located under the gallery pavilion. It is open on all sides and has a roof. The east and west sides are separated by moon-shaped screens, and the north and south sides have conventional long windows.
The moonlight is transparent and the atmosphere is relaxed and romantic.
This is Yu Lanci's favorite place to drink.
However, tonight's occasion was relatively formal, so Qi Heqing prepared the dinner in the indoor restaurant.
Li Zhi's first impression was that it was full of charm.
It can be seen that the Qi family has a profound background and is not like some ordinary wealthy families who only pursue Chinese-style home decoration superficially.
Even the restaurant's decoration is extremely exquisite, and there are many considerations about the orientation and feng shui. Where should porcelain, screens, paintings and the like be placed, and what patterns can be used, are probably passed down from ancestors for many years.
But it doesn't make people feel old-fashioned and depressing.
It is rhythmic and elegant.
The arrangement of green plants and potted plants makes the interior look very lively, and you can also see violets hanging outside the window.
There are also a few glass bottles placed by the window.
It is obviously a Western style, with various flower arrangements in the vases, which makes the atmosphere more lively.
You can tell at first glance that it is Yu Lanci's work.
She invited Li Zhi to sit down and said, "There aren't so many rules for dining at home, so don't be too picky."
In fact, the Qi family used to have many rules, such as not talking while eating or sleeping, and waiting for the head of the family to start eating first. But everything was messed up after Yu Lanci got married.
Her little mouth is always chattering.
It was impossible to keep her silent.
At first, Qi Heqing remained silent while eating, but Yu Lanci couldn't help it. She had to chat with others to have an appetite, which once gave Qi Heqing a headache.
Later he followed her lead.
There are no more boring rules at the table.
However, there is a Buddha statue at home, and during holidays or important occasions, Qi Heqing is still accustomed to burning three incense sticks before meals and placing a pair of chopsticks in front of the statue.
There was a faint smell of incense in the restaurant.
Li Zhi never believed in these things before, but she surprisingly felt that the smell of burning incense was somewhat pleasant.
Qi Heqing smiled helplessly: "We didn't use this kind of incense at home before. Your mother said that the one I used to use smelled too bad. The incense we burn now is all chosen by her."
"Sit down." He pulled open the chair for Lizhi.
It seemed as if he was just passing by and did nothing more than raise his hand to do the deed. He did not act like a master of a household at all.
It seems that there are indeed no rules.
At this table, he has always been just a husband and a father.
