910 It Was Horrible To Have No Culture (1/2)
She was telling others about it off the top of her head. She would never have expected him to really build her a crystal palace!
She must be dreaming! It was too good to be true!
Gu Xijiu wanted so much to bite herself.
Readily, Di Fuyi conjured a specially made brush and turned to look at her, ”Think of a name and I will inscribe the board on your behalf.”
Gu Xijiu did not know what to name it. Although she was well-educated, she was not really knowledgeable from a cultural sense. She could not provide any bombastic names and Di Fuyi immediately rejected the only ones that she could think of, as he thought that they were in poor taste.
Finally, she was annoyed, ”Since you are a man of culture, you should just name it.”
Di Fuyi contemplated it, ”Why don't we use both our names? Dijiu Palace? Dixi Palace?”
A glimpse of light flickered in Gu Xijiu's eyes, ”Let's call it Dijiu Palace, as it rhymes with the meaning of everlasting eternity.”
Di Fuyi was slightly taken by surprise, but immediately smiled at her answer, ”Alright, let's call it Dijiu Palace.”
He floated in the air and carved the characters of 'Dijiu Palace' on the board.
His exquisite calligraphy was lively and vigorous, written with strong, fine strokes. The characters seemed powerful, as though they were about to break free from the constraint of the still board.
The board was even decorated with floral patterns of primitive simplicity. The patterns and his writings were in perfect harmony, gracing the overall aesthetics of the building.
In high spirits, Gu Xijiu was excited to take the brush from him, ”I want to write on the stone, too.”
Di Fuyi gave her the brush and reminded her, ”It is made of a unique ink. Once written, it will be impossible to remove. You have to think properly before you write anything. ”
