N-A-A Chapter 324
Chapter 324
"This is the error between dreams and reality. So no matter what time or environment a person is in, he should make himself organically integrated with the environment and reality. Don't overestimate yourself or belittle yourself. How to be a person and how to do things should leave a scale in your heart to measure your heart. Only when your heart is balanced, what you do and how you express yourself will be balanced, open and frank. So, doing things with your heart and treating people with your heart is the most core rule of life."
......
At this time, in a luxurious villa halfway up the mountain in Liyue, a boy with short blue hair was sitting in front of a computer with a cup of coffee.
He was concentrating on the computer screen in front of him, his amber pupils flashing with excitement.
His name is Xingqiu, the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Liyue.
A veritable rich second generation.
At the same time, he also has another identity, the famous Mr. [Zhenyu] in the literary world.
The best-selling martial arts novel "Shenqiu Shijianlu" on the market was written by him.
After he heard that Qian Jian also participated in the "Forest Art" event, he has been paying attention to it. When the event started, Xingqiu immediately clicked into the event interface and read quickly.
Xingqiu is very familiar with Qian Jian.
The original "Wolf" and later "The Gift of the Magi".
He has read them more than once, and even wrote a review, which received a lot of likes.
In Xingqiu's eyes, Qian Jian is definitely a gifted author. The novels he writes can always bring him unimaginable surprises.
This time, the other party also participated in the competition, maybe he can produce another good work for him to taste.
For Xingqiu, he can skip meals, but if he can't see good works, he feels like ants crawling all over his body.
It's very uncomfortable.
......
Xingqiu's reading speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. When he sees a good plot, he will stop and savor it carefully.
And soon, he finally saw the article "The Necklace".
He had read more than a dozen stories before, and although they were all good, Xingqiu didn't feel special.
He felt that those dozen articles were not written by Qian Jian, although there was no evidence, it was just a feeling in the dark.
After reading this work called "The Necklace", Xingqiu hoped that this work would bring him a surprise.
He took a sip of coffee and continued to read it attentively.
[The story of "The Necklace" is actually very simple, with the "necklace" as the clue to unfold the plot.
The heroine of the story is named Mathilde, who feels that she is the most unfortunate person in the world.
She has a pretty face and a graceful figure. She should be on an equal footing with the noblest people, live in the most luxurious house, and enjoy people's pursuit.
But the reality is that she was born in the most ordinary family, so poor that she can't even afford a dress that matches her beauty. Her husband is just a mediocre civil servant, with an income that is only enough to afford an ordinary house and hire the cheapest maid.
The beauty of fantasy, compared with the unbearable reality, makes Mathilde full of resentment and depressed all day long. 】
Seeing this, Xingqiu was thoughtful.
From this introduction at the beginning, he could tell that the theme of this story was probably to start with material things, focusing on the heroine's obsession with material things.
This method of using material things to satirize characters is very common, but it is also the most effective way.
After all, sometimes, this can more directly reflect the character's quality.
Xingqiu continued to read:
[In order to please Mathilde, the husband went through a lot of trouble to get an invitation to a high-end cocktail party.
Mathilde borrowed a gorgeous and dazzling pearl necklace, becoming dazzling and becoming the focus of the ball.
Unfortunately, the carnival always has a moment to end. When the time comes, she has to take off her gorgeous clothes and turn back into Cinderella.
Just when Mathilde got home and was ready to appreciate her beauty again, she suddenly found that the necklace was gone!
The couple searched everywhere they passed by, but still found nothing. 】
Xingqiu remembered the name of this story - the necklace.
It seems that the core item of the story has been determined, which is the necklace that the heroine borrowed from her friend.
She actually lost the priceless necklace!
This is not a trivial matter, and the worst thing is that she can't afford to pay for it!
Xingqiu's heart was slightly lifted, and he was very curious about what the heroine would do next.
Directly play rogue and refuse to pay, or directly buy a fake one to compensate the other party?
This is also in line with the image of the heroine before, materialistic and greedy.
But what surprised Xingqiu was that the heroine actually decided to buy a real one to compensate the other party!
The novel says:
[HeThey had to sell the house, send the maid away, and sign numerous loan shark clauses. Finally, they scraped together the same necklace and paid it to their friend.
The beauty of the night cost Mathilde her future.
Her life was completely brought to the bottom by the necklace.
After losing the necklace, there was an endless debt to pay.
A huge haze enveloped Mathilde and her husband, filling them with despair.
But in the face of this unexpected blow, the couple did not choose to escape.
After that, in order to pay off the debt, they lived the most difficult days.
In order to earn more money, her husband had to copy accounts for others in the middle of the night, and Mathilde had to do the housework alone.
The greasy dirt in the kitchen wore out her delicate nails; the heavy work bent her slender waist.
She began to bargain with the shopkeepers in the vegetable market, haggling over every penny, and was often insulted by the shopkeepers. Mathilde, who longed for the happiness of heaven, fell into the abyss of suffering.
Mathilde no longer had time to dream of wealth and glory, but only thought about how to repay her debts. She threw all her face and dignity behind her.
Mathilde, who used to have her heart in the clouds, now stood firmly in the mud and made peace with reality.
The life of extreme poverty lasted for ten years. Mathilde was a pretty young woman, but was destroyed by suffering and became a rough and aging ordinary woman.
Her waist was no longer slender, and her hands were no longer tender.
She became stout and aggressive, her hair was combed carelessly, her skirt was not straight, and her voice became loud.
Sometimes, Mathilde sat by the window and recalled her dazzling self at the ball.
The ruthless tricks of fate overturned her life.
But after experiencing the suffering of life, Mathilde has also been reborn.
Now she is relaxed and happier than ever before. 】
Seeing this, Xingqiu felt a sense of respect in his heart.
This poor couple actually did it. In order to compensate someone for a necklace, they actually paid so much, including their house, savings, and even loan sharks.
