I’ll ask Keqing tonight.
-
"What are you doing?"
As Arthur walked to the door, he saw a group of people acting stealthily, circling in front of him and Keqing's door.
Arthur shouted sternly after seeing this, but who would have thought that these people were not afraid at all, but responded.
What would a normal person think in this situation?
When the theft fails, why not try robbery, or threaten bystanders not to say anything?
Arthur thought so, but he didn't expect that there would be someone who would take action here. Aren't they afraid of being taken away by the Thousand Rocks Army?
"Yes, son-in-law! You are here, come on, open the door for us."
?
Hearing this address, Arthur noticed that the man among the group of sneaky people in front of him was his father-in-law. Bah, he was led astray.
Isn’t he Keqing’s father, the head of the Ke family, Ke Jin?
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Arthur walked up to the group of people and found that they were all neatly dressed. Although not as luxurious as engraved gold, the clothes were of excellent quality, not coarse linen.
"Hey, isn't today my daughter's birthday? We wanted to come here and give Keqing a surprise, but who would have thought that we couldn't find the key to the door today, and the maid who had been responsible for cleaning Keqing's room was sent out by me to buy things."
"Then come to my house first. Keqing will be at my house for dinner tonight, so she can just set up the place here. I can also call some friends over."
Arthur opened the door of his house, and Keqing took people to prepare the scene. Not long after, Keqing's mother also came over.
"Hey, son-in-law, long time no see. How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"Aunt, I may stay for a while. I plan to rest for a while."
Arthur ignored the way Keqing addressed her parents. As Keqing had said before, if she cared and objected, she would be chased and teased instead. Who would have thought that with Keqing's decisive personality, why her parents had such a bad taste.
But it is indeed obvious that they are biological children. At least their behavior is to do what they say, and they are exactly the same.
Ke Jin led a group of people to set up the scene, while Ke Mu led several maids to start decorating the scene.
Because of Arthur's appearance, their work became a lot easier. The original work of preparing ingredients was reduced a lot. And when they heard that Liyue's famous chef Xiangling was also coming, the task of cooking was given to Arthur, and they were responsible for helping.
This time, Arthur called some people he knew, including Ningguang, who was also one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Xiangling from Wanmin Hall, Ying who had just returned to Liyue Harbor, Hutao and Zhongli from Wangsheng Hall, and Hutao also brought Qiqi over.
When Ningguang came, she brought Ganyu with her.
As for the others, they are either not in Liyue Harbor and cannot be contacted, or they have insufficient status or have an average relationship with Keqing.
With everyone's preparation, the scene was quickly set up.
Everyone started chatting with someone. As one of the few men present, Ke Jin pulled Zhongli and Arthur over when he saw everyone chatting.
"You two, as the three of us are the few men here, how about we talk about something that all men like?"
"Oh, I wonder what Master Ke thinks?"
Zhongli and Kejin really didn't feel cold at all because it was their first meeting. They started chatting right away like old friends.
Is there something wrong with the topic you are talking about?
It is suggested that Ke Jin publish a book after retirement, titled "I am a close friend of Fengshen and Yanshen and discuss things that men like."
It will definitely become popular all over the country.
Even seven countries are not impossible. At least Inazuma would probably like this kind of pretentious theme very much.
But the engraving did not have any color, it was all just Arthur's fantasy.
While Arthur was still daydreaming, the conversation between Ke Jin and Zhong Li came from the side.
"In my opinion, the best tea today is still the Bishuiqingming made from the young buds picked from Bishuiyuan."
"That's a difference. Although Bishui Qingming is a good product, the Tianheng rock bone picked from Tianheng Mountain and the rare Yunlai Baihao from Yunlai Sea are both good products. There are some century-old treasures among the three, but tea pays more attention to the character of the person who drinks it."
Zhongli poured two cups of tea from the table and handed them to Arthur and Kejin. "Just like this ordinary rock tea, after the precipitation of time, it still maintains its activity. After processing, you can taste the charm contained in it."
The two took the tea handed over by Zhongli. It was obviously just some tea leaves that Ningguang bought when she gave it to them, but after passing through Zhongli's hands, coupled with what Zhongli said.
The rock tea that tasted ordinary before seemed to have a new charm.
"I am shallow. As expected of Mr. Zhongli, who is admired by everyone, this opinion is really refreshing."
The three of them talked about everything from tea to wine, and then to the various aspects of people's lives. Although there was a big age gap between them, they got along like old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Chapter 184: Keqing’s Birthday Banquet and Gifts
It was almost time for dinner, so Arthur and Xiangling came to the kitchen. The maids around Ke's mother also followed them in and were responsible for preparing some of the ingredients.
Fortunately, the kitchen is so big, otherwise it would reduce efficiency.
Because it was Keqing's birthday party, Xiangling did not prepare any strange dishes. She just discussed with Arthur about the dishes that Keqing would like, and then divided the work to prepare dinner.
Keqing's favorite golden shrimp balls were made by Arthur in a large plate. In order to ensure the crispness when they were just out of the pan, Arthur stored the golden shrimp balls in the system warehouse after they were made to prevent them from losing their crispness due to contact with air for too long.
Because the golden shrimp balls are the last dish, when this dish comes out of the pot, Xiangling's harvest year is also complete.
There was no need for the two of them to do anything, as the maids of the Ke family brought all the prepared dishes to the table.
When Keqing dragged her tired body back, she opened the door of Arthur's house as usual, but what she welcomed was not Arthur's figure, but a series of fireworks and unanimous blessings.
"Happy birthday, Keqing!"
Keqing's mother directly pulled the still confused Keqing to sit in the main seat. Although Arthur was the owner of the room, today was Keqing's birthday, so she was the birthday girl today.
The pile of information in her hand had already been taken over by Ganyu at the door.
Then everyone started Keqing's birthday party. After the party, everyone gave their own gifts.
First are Keqing’s colleagues, Ningguang and Ganyu.
Ningguang’s gift was a piece of clothing that looked very valuable, called “Ni Ji Pian Pian”.
Ganyu's gift was a bouquet of flowers.
Next, everyone presented their gifts, and in the end, only Arthur was left last.
And Keqing also looked at Arthur with anticipation.
Everyone looked at the people around them in tacit understanding, and left Arthur's room. Then Ke's mother, who left last, closed the door. Before leaving, she glanced at the two of them with encouragement in her eyes.
[Ding, the system has also prepared a gift, please check it. ]
Under Keqing's shy gaze, a pair of stockings full of unique charm appeared in Arthur's hands.
And this should be the gift that the system mentioned.
It feels very delicate, and exudes a faint fragrance. There is still some warmth left on it, as if it had just been taken off a white and smooth leg, which makes people imagine a lot.
Without noticing Keqing's cheeks that were red as hell, Arthur had cursed the system countless times in his heart.
These are obviously the matching stockings for the dress, but they are still warm and fragrant. Who did you pull these from?
Is it perverted?
What's even more perverted is that you actually want me to give it to Keqing?
Arthur pretended nothing had happened and immediately took the stockings back to the system warehouse. He ignored the system's call and took out the gift he had prepared.
It's a hairpin.
"Keqing, give me your previous hairpin. I don't know what you like, so I specially prepared a hairpin for you."
When Keqing saw that it was not a close-fitting garment like stockings, her blushing cheeks slowly returned to normal, but there was still a hint of blush that had not completely disappeared.
Keqing took the hairpin from Arthur and took a look at it.
Although it is impossible to tell who made it, the feel of it makes people feel comfortable as soon as they take it. Keqing took off the hairpin on her head, keeping her hairstyle unchanged, and pinned Arthur's gift on her head.
What Keqing didn't know was that this hairpin was not made by someone else, but was a gift carefully prepared by Arthur himself.
Although it looks like jade, it is actually made of crushed coral pearls, mixed with other minerals and shaped with rock elements. This small hairpin still retains a trace of creative power.
Although it cannot save lives, this trace of creative power is just enough to keep Keqing energetic and not affected by work.
"Thank you."
After Keqing put on the hairpin, she thanked Arthur.
Keqing hadn't recovered from her birthday yet. After saying thank you, she returned to her room and lay down on the bed. Only then did she remember that her files seemed to have been taken away by Ganyu.
Unfortunately, Ganyu and others had already left.
Ganyu: Working overtime, another sleepless night!
Only after Keqing left did Arthur release the system again.
"Are you seriously ill? Where did you get these stockings?"
[Why not send it? I won’t accept a dress without stockings! ]
"So, who did you take this from?"
【...】
Seeing that the system had crashed again, Arthur didn't pay any more attention to it. After all, this was not the first time it gave him strange things.
Arthur remembered that the bandage he had drawn a long time ago was also warm. Arthur was a little suspicious about the origin of this system.
When Arthur got up the next day, he no longer saw Ke Maomao in his arms.
According to the procedure, after washing up and making breakfast, I started a day of leisure time.
Because it was Keqing's birthday yesterday and the job was accepted by Ganyu, Keqing looked particularly good today. Her pretty face, which was already very pretty, looked so tender today that it looked like it was about to burst with moisture.
Keqing did not wear the colorful dress that Ningguang gave her, but was wearing her usual clothes. However, she did not take off the hair bun that she gave her, and it was still on Keqing's head.
After breakfast, Arthur followed Keqing to the Jade Pavilion.
Because the person in charge knew the identities of Keqing and Arthur, he did not stop them and directly let them ride on the floating stone and come to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
Ningguang looked like she had just woken up, with tears in the corners of her eyes due to sleepiness. She was surprised to see Arthur coming, but she was only stunned for a short moment before her expression returned to normal.
Gradually, other Liyue high-level officials also arrived at the Jade Pavilion. Although the seats were full, less than half of the seats were actually present.
Ningguang sat in the main seat and coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention. "Everyone, how have you thought about the previous proposal? Does anyone have a choice?"
A young man sitting at the end raised his hand, and after Ningguang nodded, he became the first speaker of the meeting.
"I think if we really have to vote for a new leader of Liyue, I think that person must be a native of Liyue."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
This proposal was passed unanimously. Although it was said to be the leader of Liyue, it was actually about the selection of the God of Geo. How could the position of God of Geo be given to an outsider?
(Why didn't they wait for the God of Rock to be born naturally, but instead chose one? The next chapter will explain. In fact, after Zhongli's plot ended, the dialogue with the characters had been hinting that the God of Rock's successor was inevitable.)
"I think that since it is the Rock God, it must be believed by everyone, and it must be the Eye of God with rock attributes."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
Chapter 185 Choosing a New Rock God
This one was recognized by the majority of people, only a small number of people did not follow, but there was no opposition either.
It’s not that they think it’s unreasonable, but because these two conditions almost screen out 99% of the people in Liyue, especially the God’s Eye with rock attribute, which is even fewer.
As far as Liyue is concerned, there are basically only a few of them.
"Has anyone made a choice?"
Keqing locked her eyes with Ningguang and interjected, "And it cannot be held by a current Liyue official."
Ningguang's expression did not change at all. "Of course, but it should only be limited to clerks and Seven Stars. Soldiers in the Thousand Rock Army should not be excluded because of this."
"can."
Keqing said and sat down.
