Chapter 336: Attending a Banquet
Jin Zhan pursed his lips and muttered quietly, "I think my things are so valuable." ”
At this level of English conversation, Jin Zhan can naturally understand it, and Lin Xiaozhi's English score is also good, so he can understand it, but he doesn't care about this nobleman's words as much as Jin Zhan, and directly ignores the past.
Several people entered the scene with Xin Bai, and Lin Xiaozhi observed the luxury goods around him, which were different from those local tyrants who always liked to display domestic antiques, and were basically medieval jewelry.
Lin Xiaozhi glanced at it a few times, most of them were genuine, and he was indeed a rich family.
"Xiaozhi, can you understand those antiques?"
Yu Siman looked at Lin Xiaozhi's appearance of concentrating on observing antiques, and asked curiously.
Lin Xiaozhi said with a smile: "Some can understand, you see that it is a work of the Xiong Emperor period of the Bear Country, this style is easy to recognize, it should be a work that appeared during the period of the Xiong Emperor II." At that time, the country was stable, so the production technology was also very high. ”
Yu Siman was quite surprised when he heard Lin Xiaozhi's explanation: "Xiaozhi, do you still know foreign history?"
Such a number of treasures about domestic history are already very powerful for Yu Siman, but I didn't expect Lin Xiaozhi to know so much about foreign works.
Lin Xiaozhi smiled proudly: "That is, my school was not in vain, I listened to Professor Xu's colleagues give lectures when I was studying at Bowen University, and chatted with them about what they taught me." ”
When they came to the center of the banquet, the participants all looked at Lin Xiaozhi and them with questions in their eyes.
Although the housekeeper Alpha has prepared the dress with all his heart, but these things are originally customized according to the individual's figure, so what he is looking for temporarily still seems a little ill-fitting, Lin Xiaozhi and Yu Siman are okay, their figures are not too much, and the general dress is enough to wear.
Jin Zhan and Han Hao's figures, it is already very good to be able to find a dress that can be worn.
This also led to the fact that the dresses on the group could be seen to be ill-fitting in the eyes of those who knew the industry, and these nobles were more exposed to dresses on weekdays, so they naturally recognized their embarrassing appearance.
There was a sound of ridicule surrounding them, Lin Xiaozhi and the others looked up, and the people around them either raised their hands to cover their mouths, or covered their mouths with fans, obviously laughing at them.
Jin Zhan pulled Lin Xiaozhi and said in a low voice, "Are we dressed too ordinary?"
Indeed, although the dress selected by Alpha is not low, it is far from enough compared to the nobles on the scene.
Lin Xiaozhi shook his head and asked Jin Zhan not to think too much.
This banquet is indeed very different from the country, the tall dome makes the ceiling seem to be non-existent in the line of sight, as long as you look up, you can see the angel murals with strong religious meaning, and the surrounding decorations are all European-style things, and the exotic mystery surrounds several people.
And these aristocrats are also dressed in those evening dresses that can only be seen on TV, and unlike the modernization of the country, these people wear more similar to the early court dresses, although bloated, but they look unique.
The banquet soon began, and Count Louis came to the center, and as soon as he spoke, all eyes were on him, and no one whispered.
"This party is actually my birthday, and inviting you to come is also to celebrate this special day with me. ”
Louis laughed and said that the people who came and went were basically nobles, and even if he said it lightly, these people knew what to do, and there was no situation where they couldn't give gifts.
Sure enough, as soon as Louis finished speaking, someone proudly took out the gift and asked the attendant to deliver it.
Everyone is in an aristocratic circle, and the time spent with Louis is not short, so they naturally know when each other's birthday is, and they can prepare gifts in advance.
Sure enough, most of them gave away the gifts.
Xin Bai is just a rich man from abroad who has just arrived, so naturally he doesn't understand the tacit understanding between the local nobles in Xiong Country, and he is quite embarrassed at the moment.
He came with his hands empty, and he didn't prepare any gifts, which was a problem.
Jin Zhan guessed that he didn't have a gift when he saw Xin Bai's appearance, and said with a smile: "Why don't you give the crystal skull?"
Lin Xiaozhi also knew that Jin Zhan was joking, but he still shook his head and said, "The value of that thing is not something that can be taken away from a birthday party." ”
After he finished speaking, he took out the two-colored jade from his pocket.
I wanted to put it down casually when I changed clothes before, but Lin Xiaozhi still brought this with him, and it came in handy at this time.
When Jin Zhan saw Lin Xiaozhi's two-color jade, he immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "Xiaozhi, don't take this as a gift." ”
He had been coveting this two-color jade for a long time, because it was a brother's thing, and he knew that Lin Xiaozhi had always taken it with him and attached great importance to it, so he didn't say that he would buy it, and at this moment, when he saw that Lin Xiaozhi was going to give it to Xin Bai, it was as if his flesh had been cut.
Lin Xiaozhi looked at Jin Zhan the same, and was amused by his grinning expression, so he didn't put away the two-color jadeite, and handed it directly to Xin Bai.
Xin Bai was worried, but he sent reinforcements from the sky, and he was happy in his heart, but when he saw that it was a jade like two-color jade, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
"This value is at least tens of millions, Xiaozhi, do you really want me to give it away?"
Lin Xiaozhi said disdainfully: "A two-color jadeite, it's not like it can't be opened anymore." ”
Indeed, if that person is Lin Xiaozhi, there is no need to worry about the two-color jade never being seen again.
Xin Bai looked at Lin Xiaozhi's appearance, and his heart was even more moved by his righteousness and generosity, and he wanted to let the waiter send it, but he still walked over by himself and delivered it to Louis.
If it was the waiter who came to send it, they would not have any impression, but it was Xin Bai who sent it himself, so as to attract their attention, and Xin Bai didn't want Lin Xiaozhi to send such a big deal to be buried.
Louis had a good impression of Simber, but he was dissatisfied because he had brought a few "servants" to a banquet full of nobles today, and now that he received this gift, all his dissatisfaction disappeared.
Everyone noticed that Simber went up to give the gift with his own hands, and everyone was shocked to see the appearance of the two-colored jadeite.
Xiong Country is a country where there is not much jade, or there are not many high-grade jade that can be mined, so this kind of jade is also a very rare thing for them.
Prince Ruerde, the highest-ranking of the people present, saw such a high-grade jadeite, his eyes lit up, and he sent his subordinates to take it for identification.
After a while, the results came out, this two-color jadeite is genuine, not a fake jade that has been spliced by some means.
As soon as this result came out, the audience was shocked.
