vs 215 Lion's head
"Yanshan!" Jiang Mi sat on the couch and called, but no one answered.
Qi Xiang came in and bowed and said, "Father-in-law Yan is not here, what does the Queen Mother tell the slave to do!" ”
"The mourning family asked him to rub his neck, and it was very sour this day! Where did he go? ”
Qi Xiang covered his mouth and smiled: "Queen Mother, you forgot, a few days will be a big day for Grandpa Yan!" ”
"What a big day? Isn't his birthday a wax moon? ”
"In a few days, there will be walnuts in the palace!"
"What's that big day?" Jiang Mi slowly turned his neck.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know, is this matter important to him this year? A few days ago, I heard his apprentice say that the master only slept every day and rubbed walnuts in the house every day! ”
Jiang Mi sighed and said: "The mourning family doesn't understand, just two things that are in the hands of the sky, what kind of fun can there be?" ”
"Queen Mother, don't underestimate it, some little eunuchs are born with oily sweat hands, and they are red and bright, and they can be sold for five or six taels of silver when they are taken to Liuli Street!"
Jiang Mi was surprised: "Isn't that much higher than the moon stilt?" ”
"Of course, it's not always that chance...... Father-in-law Yan really likes it, I heard that there are hundreds of pairs hidden in his house! ”
……
"Besides, this year is different! I heard that Wang Xian's father-in-law, Gu Xin in the emperor's palace, even the old eunuch Zheng is going to go, as well as the prince's mansion, the general's mansion and several Shangshu mansions, there are also people in the mansion who come to compete! The Queen Mother wants to take a look! ”
"Hearing what you said, the mourning family will also go to join in the fun!"
Qi Xiang said a good point, on weekdays, the eunuchs are better than whose walnuts are better in private, and several major factions have been formed, the elder of the "crab shell" faction is Wang Xian's father-in-law, the characteristic is that the red is not deep, but clean, the oil is not enough, there is a "mud" faction, red and oily, the elder is Yanshan's father-in-law, the disadvantage is that it is sticky to the touch, and there is a lot of dirty oil in the texture, mainly because he doesn't like to use a brush to clean up! There is also the "stone ridge" faction, pay attention to the shape is good-looking, the texture is peculiar, but it is not enough on the plate, the elder is the Qing Gonggong in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, although others are not in the palace, the prestige has long been spread!
Of course, if you want to win the game, you have to have the advantages of the three factions to have a chance, and the eunuchs are all sharp-eyed, and they have a lot of fun and are very picky! Don't let anyone fool them!
On the thirtieth day of March, Si Chen changed into plain clothes after getting off the morning court, and took Ling Tong and Dong'er to Leshou Palace, followed by swallows, Qinglu, etc., and went straight to the empty field at the entrance of the Qin'an Palace in the Imperial Garden.

At this time, more than a hundred eunuchs had gathered in the usually quiet and empty courtyard, and a big eunuch recognized that it was the emperor, and hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye, Si Chen smiled and said loudly: "Today is your good day, don't worry about me, I am here to see the excitement, I can have as much fun as I want, and it is boring to be restrained!" Today, if you get the top three, I will reward you with silver alone! ”
"Emperor Xie!"
Si Chen covered his mouth with his hand, signaling him not to reveal his identity??? ?? ?? To see? Book Book? ·1 K A?N SHU·CC
Seeing that the emperor was so open-minded, he said that there was a reward for silver, and besides, he immediately came alive again.
"See? On those five long tables are walnuts that are going to participate in the competition! Only write the number on the table, don't let you know who it is, and everyone who participates is a judge! One ticket per person! Impartial! ”
"Let's go! I'll take you up and see ......."
On the steps under the corridor at the entrance of the Qin'an Palace, there were five long cases of carved camellias, and the rows on it were full of walnuts.
At this moment, a little eunuch ran over with sweat on his head: "Mine can't be put down?" What to do? Please, Master, give me some space? I'm late, can I do it? ”
A fat eunuch said arrogantly: "Then who can be blamed?" Blame yourself for your bad luck! It's not easy to get lined up, and you're here to join in the fun, and the numbers are full, you! Let's talk about it next year! ”
The little eunuch listened, and immediately tears fell, "Ask my father-in-law to help me with a favor?" I just have to put it on the sidelines! ”
"You can't put it on the ground! Where is it so verbose! Go, go, go! Let's get started, don't delay! I heard that the emperor is also here today, are you responsible? ”
Ling Tong saw that the little eunuch was handsome, and his eyes were very pitiful! couldn't help but look at Si Chen beside him.
"Alas, you wait!"
The little eunuch wiped his tears with the back of his hand and turned around, crying is strictly forbidden in the palace.
"Are you...... Are you called a minion? He forced a smile.
"Come here, show me your walnuts, if it's good, I'll let you race!"
"Really?" He looked Si Chen up and down, as if judging whether the identity of this master was enough to help him, and then looked at Ling Tong in a satin robe, then pursed his lips and nodded.
"The status of the slave is too low, and the thing is no worse than those of the grand duke! Don't believe it......"
After speaking, he carefully took out a pair of walnuts from his arms, and looked at them with satisfaction for a while before handing them to Si Chen, who took them over and looked at them carefully.
"Well, it's really good! A pair of stewed pointed lion heads, full in shape, and deep in texture! ”
Hearing Si Chen say this, he grinned, "Uncle really knows the goods!" I've been on this walnut plate for a year! ”
"But as far as I know, it's still not as good as Father-in-law Qing, and this can't win a prize even if you participate in the competition!"
His face was stiff and pale, he bit his lip and didn't squeak, looking at Si Chen, who was leaving with a smile, and suddenly ran a few steps to catch up.
"Uncle, there are better minions, can you help the minions compete?"
"Oh? If it's really good, I'll help you! ”
"Look at this pair!" The little eunuch respectfully took out another pair and presented it with both hands.
In the palm of his hand lay two bright red and bright, almost jade four-sided unicorn lion heads, huge individuals! Reflecting the bright sun, the color is like agate, exquisite, and clear, even Ling Tong was attracted!
"Good stuff! This is good! This is very promising! ”
After Si Chen finished speaking, he turned his head and left.
The little eunuch called out anxiously: "Master, where are you going?" ”
"Come with me! It's too late for you! ”
He was so overjoyed that he didn't forget to kowtow first, and then chased after him and said, "Come on!" Master, you are really a great benefactor of slaves! ”
After fierce competition, the final winner was Gonggong Qing, his pair of eight-sided lion heads, rare in the world! Shocked all the eunuchs present to tears! It turns out that this old thing really has rare treasures! Legend has it that it has been coiled for more than 40 years, and the treasure light is as warm as a jade carving!
The laurel of Tanhua Walnut was won by Wang Xian's father-in-law's old lion head, with a full belly and a straight pile! The lines are deep and stretched!
The owner of the walnut in the list surprised everyone, but he was a little eunuch who washed dishes in the pantry and couldn't even call his name!
His pair of four-edged unicorn lion heads actually beheaded thirty-six other pairs of famous veterans! Win 3rd place!
He was so happy with the medals and prize money that he couldn't say a word, and like a headless fly, he went all over the world looking for "great benefactor!" (To be continued.) )
