At the same time, he chose different precious spices to make the box emit charming fragrance. The box is ready. It looks golden and smells charming. This is really a rare work of art.

You must have put it there, sir. I'm here to return the jewels. "

10, just fill in the blanks.

During the Warring States Period, Qi Xuanwang, the monarch of the State of Qi, loved music, especially listening to the flute. He has 300 musicians who are good at playing the flute. Qi Xuanwang likes to be lively and ostentatious, and always wants to show the majesty of the monarch in front of people, so every time he listens to the flute, he always asks the 300 people to play for him.

A Chu Shi man named Nanguo heard that Qi Xuanwang likes to listen to ensemble and thought it was a good opportunity to make money. He ran to Qi Xuanwang and boasted, "Your Majesty, anyone who has heard me play the flute is unmoved, even birds and animals will dance and flowers will sway with the beat. I would like to dedicate my stunt to your majesty. " Qi Xuanwang listened happily, accepted him happily, and put him into the 300-member team.

From then on, Chu Shi from the South China took the 300 people to Qi Xuanwang for ensemble, enjoying the same generous treatment as others, and he was very proud.

In fact, southern Chu Shi can't play at all. Every time he goes on stage, Chu Shi from the south is mixed in the team with a shovel. People shook their bodies and he shook his head. He also shook his head, pretending to forget me emotionally on his face, and looked more involved than others. Chu Shi in the south of China lives by cheating day after day, earning a generous salary in vain.

But it didn't last long. A few years later, Qi Xuanwang, who loved ensemble, died, and his son, King Qi, succeeded to the throne. Qi _ Wang also likes to play, but likes to listen to solos. So the king of Qi ordered the 300 men to take turns punching him. Chu Shi in the south is as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't go on this time, so he had to pack up and run away overnight.

An ignorant person who lives by cheating like Chu Shi in the south can cheat for a while, but not for a lifetime. A fake is a fake, and it will eventually be exposed and disguised because it cannot escape the test of time. The best way for us to succeed is to study hard. Only by practicing a real skill can we resist all difficulties, setbacks and tests.
