The sandalwood is faint in the room.
Chu Mingyun knocked on the table and looked at Du Yue, who was stuffing pastries in his mouth, "I asked you to come here for something, not to invite you to eat."
Du Yue replied vaguely without raising his eyes, "I know, there must be nothing good for you to find me, so I'll eat you a few taels more to calm down."
Chu Mingyun didn't bother to care about him, so he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and put it in front of him, "Help me see what's the mystery here? Why are the people in Su Mansion so wonderful when they see it."
Du Yue suddenly choked up, coughing, and pointed in shock, "Damn it!... This, this, this... "
Chu Mingyun rested his chin leisurely and looked at his expression, "Yes, that's the reaction."
"Where did you steal the surname Chu?"
Chu Mingyun looked at him expressionlessly, "Su Shiyu gave it to me personally."
"... This is what Su Shiyu gave you?! Which Su Shiyu?!" Du Yue was relieved.
"How many cousins do you have, don't you know better than me?"
"...My cousin is stupid." Du Yue looked in disbelief.
"Talk about the point." Chu Mingyun said impatiently.
"...Oh." Du Yue covered his head and calmed down for a while, "I remember that this jade pendant was left to him by his aunt, and his cousin took it with him since he was a child."
"Are you sure?" Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Su Shiyu made a bet on it before, if it was so important, would he be willing to do it?"
"You don't understand this, right?" Du Yue said proudly, "I saw that Su Bai used this jade pendant to go to work several times. Basically, it can be said that anyone who has some contacts with the Su family will see this jade pendant. Knowing that it is my cousin, even if I lose, no one dares to ask for it, and it will definitely return to him in the end."
"Oh—?" Chu Mingyun smiled, "Is it like seeing someone?"
"But since my cousin dares to give it to you, don't even think about using the jade pendant to mobilize the power of the Su family." Du Yue said decisively.
Chu Mingyun glanced at Du Yue, who rarely had a brain. The other party only stared at Yu Pei and took a bite of the hibiscus cake, "But why can't my cousin give it to you?"
"I don't understand either." Chu Mingyun held the jade pendant in his hand and played with it, not sure, "Probably he didn't have anything else on him at that time... Or maybe he planned to—"
"Chu Mingyun." Du Yue suddenly interrupted him seriously, "I don't know what it's like to fight all day when you are officials, but aside from that, my cousin doesn't have what you think. So sinister, this jade pendant is really important to him!"
"Yes, yes, you have always been towards him, wishing Su Shiyu was your brother." Chu Mingyun replied casually, raised the jade pendant in his hand and looked in front of him, the white jade hook pattern, Yingying glowed, the corner of his lips suddenly pulled up With a cold smile, he loosened the hand holding the jade pendant without warning, "Is it important or not, I don't care."
The white jade fell straight down, and there was a clear and Yue tone of jade hitting the ground.
Du Yue was stunned, turned to slap the table, and said angrily, "Are you ill with the surname Chu?" He stepped forward to pick it up, but was blocked by Chu Mingyun's foot, Huo Ran straightened up again ,"What are you doing?!"
Chu Mingyun put his arms on the table, tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, "What did you pick up for me?"
"Can you do it if you don't want me?" Du Yue glared at him.
"No." He said slowly.
"Fuck you!" Du Yue threw his sleeves and walked out. He gritted his teeth and cursed as he passed by: "If you don't know how to praise you, and others don't know how to cherish you with kindness, just wait for your retribution!"
Chu Mingyun looked at him with a smile, "I'm happy."
Du Yue kicked the door open.
The room fell silent. Chu Mingyun turned his head and smiled, he slowly drank a cup of tea, got up and walked out.
But he stopped in front of the door for no reason and failed to take another step.
Chu Mingyun stood silently in the room, pressing his hand on the door with red lacquer carvings, motionless, his eyes seemed to fall on some emptiness, and he was distracted.
The sandalwood burnt out silently and shattered into pieces full of furnace dust. The wind blew through the window, and the dark incense circulated.
After a long time, he suddenly turned around slowly, staring at the same place with no expression, his eyes changing. He stepped back and leaned over to pick up the things beside his feet. The jade was still intact, but there were a few more cracks in it, which were clearly visible in the sunlight that settled in.
Chu Mingyun frowned and tutted, then tucked the jade pendant back into his sleeve, "Trouble."
"Cousin!!!" With a roar, the door of the study was pushed open.
Su Shiyu looked up at the angry cyan figure, and couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter, are you here to seek revenge from me?"
"Come to you to find revenge for others!" Du Yue took a few steps to his desk, "Damn Chu Mingyun actually threw something from you!"
"Something?" Su Shiyu's hand paused, "What?"
"It's the jade pendant you gave! He actually said he didn't care and threw it away. I rely on me to be rare!"
Su Shiyu put down his pen and frowned, "Speak well." After a moment's pause, he suddenly laughed in a low voice, "Just throw it away."
"You..." Du Yue couldn't accept his calm reaction, and said angrily, "Cousin, won't you say anything?"
Su Shiyu looked at him, "What should I say?"
"For example, the surname Chu is too much! It's not a thing, he..."
"Ayue," Su Shiyu interrupted him and smiled gently, "why slander others like this."
"Where is this slander?!" Du Yue blurted out, but even though he was angry, he was embarrassed to continue arguing when he saw Su Shiyu's indifferent appearance, so he asked in a slow tone, "Cousin, that jade pendant is really good to you. It's very important, isn't it, why did you give it to him for no reason?"
"What's important, what's not important," Su Shiyu lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, "It should be given to him, so I gave it to him."
"What do you mean?" Du Yue didn't understand.
Su Shiyu looked at Du Yue and sighed lightly, "Since it's been given to him, it's his thing. It's okay to keep it properly or throw it away, it's up to him."
"But how can you give it to you with good intentions and let it be thrown away without saying it?" Du Yue was indignant, "Cousin, you are so good to him for nothing!"
"You don't have to be so resentful." Su Shiyu reassured, "I just donated it voluntarily, I didn't intend to exchange anything, and I didn't think about what it would be useful for, and I thought about the results at the time, but it's not too surprising now. , you don't need to care so much." He smiled lightly, "Just throw it away."
Depressed, Du Yue stared at Su Shiyu for a long time, and had to be upset and said: "Okay, okay, I know, don't scold him as the head office." He couldn't help but mutter, "I feel bad for such a good jade wasted in vain. , might as well give it to me."
"For you?" Su Shiyu said with a smile, "How do I remember that since I was a child, the things I gave you were broken within three days?"
"I was young at that time, wasn't it ignorant? If you give me something now, it will definitely not be broken!" As the voice fell, Du Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned up and said, "Cousin, you can also give me a jade pendant. Hey, I will definitely collect the offerings carefully!"
"No more." Su Shiyu shook his head.
"Ah? No more?"
"Well," he chuckled in a low voice, looking at the sky and clouds outside the window, his eyes softened, "My mother only kept this one for me to give to someone."
Du Yue followed him to look at Luo Hua in front of the court, he was silent when he heard the sound, and he never mentioned a word again.
