Volume 4 The Romance of the White Snake Chapter 356 Gift-giving

didn't let everyone wait long, Zhang's mother left for about five minutes, and everyone heard a hearty laugh, which was extremely loud, as if the person who came was an extremely bold man, quite reckless.

He Jie and the others looked more and more restrained, Tan Mi's face softened slightly, and Xiao Wu still had a faint smile on his face. Only Guo Xiu's eyebrows were inadvertently raised, this guy's current state is clearly different from what he just heard.

"Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I've had so many people in this place."

Dressed in a light gray tunic suit, Tan Luoxiong walked into the restaurant with a smile, and the moment he entered the door, he unconsciously swept all the expressions of everyone, and specially stayed on Guo Xiu's body for a while, and then turned his gaze away.

"Uncle Tan, my dad heard that I was coming to see you, and knew that you usually like to take a sip, so he specially asked me to bring two bottles of good wine." He Jie stood up first, and Zhang's mother also took out the things he brought at this time, but it was a wooden box without any logo on both sides, which looked extremely inconspicuous.

"Look at you, kid, you're coming, and what are you bringing?"

Tan Luoxiong scolded with a smile, took the wine box handed over by Zhang's mother, and sat at the head of the table as a matter of course.

Although the appearance of the wine box was very inconspicuous, the moment he saw it, Tan Luoxiong's face suddenly became extremely solemn, he gently pushed the tortoiseshell glasses on his nose, turned the box around with his hand, and sniffed it lightly.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Tan Mi didn't understand anything about wine at all, and seeing Tan Luoxiong's solemn expression at this moment, she probably guessed that what He Jie's annoying guy brought should not be simple.

"Tut-tut, Lao He's shot is really a bit generous."

Tan Luoxiong glanced at He Jie with a smile, the smile on the latter's face couldn't help but be thicker, his waist was slightly straightened, and he said with a little pride: "This is the 30-year-old Moutai puree that my father specially took from my grandfather, and it was still specially supplied to the central government by Moutai Town back then, and now even if you have money, you can't buy it." ”

"That's right, I've been looking for this bottle of wine for a long time, although I have seen it a few times in the hands of collectors, but others refuse to cut their love, so I can only sigh with admiration, Xiao He, this time, you really have fulfilled one of my long-cherished wishes!"

Seeing He Jie in the limelight there, Zhang Yuan put it aside and pursed his lips a little angrily, and muttered in a low voice: "How can it be so magical, isn't it just a bottle of wine......

Tan Luoxiong smiled and said to Zhang Yuan: "You can't say that, you will know whether this wine is worth it later, and today we are also fortunate to be able to taste this kind of wine, whether it is for you or for me, it is an extremely rare thing."

As he spoke, Tan Luoxiong took the box down, and the first thing that caught his eye was the unpretentious white porcelain vase, which did not have any patterns and decorations, only the two Yang characters of Moutai were printed, and the words 1985 were written on the golden lock ring at the seal.

Although it has not yet been opened, everyone has already smelled an intoxicating aroma of wine. The tip of Guo Xiu's nose twitched slightly, and his eyes were even brighter, although he was not interested in wine, but being able to taste this kind of wine was also a great fun thing in life.

Zhang Yuanfang also stopped the jealousy in his heart at this moment, and looked at the bottle of wine speechlessly. He Jie glanced at Tan Mi proudly, as if he was inviting credit, but he was very unceremoniously glanced at by the latter, and was also given a big middle finger, and suddenly his face was suffocated like an eggplant, and he sat down stupidly.

Xiao Wu looked at this scene with a smile, and Tan Luoxiong directly pretended not to see it, he knew his daughter's temperament, and he tried his best to let the other party come, he had long been used to this similar scene.

Zhang Yuanfang reacted suddenly, and hurriedly said to Tan Luoxiong: "Uncle Tan, I also brought a gift this time, you give it to you." As he spoke, he took a long box from Zhang's mother, and then offered it with both hands.

The lock of the box is the old-fashioned buckle lock, and the material of the box is also made of rosewood, although for Tan Luoxiong, the sandalwood is not very precious, but the heavy breath on it undoubtedly shows that this is an old antiquity.

"Looks like you're all here prepared today!"

Tan Luoxiong scolded with a smile, but it was obviously extremely useful, so he took it reservedly, gently opened the lock with his thumb, and slowly opened the box.

Everyone stretched out their heads to look, wondering what was inside, only Zhang Yuanfang looked like he was in the chest, even in front of He Jie's gift Meiyu, he was not the slightest nervous, as if he was extremely confident in himself.

"It's ......"

Tan Luoxiong sighed lightly, his face was surprised, and he slowly took out the contents of the box, but it was a scroll.

Zhang Yuanfang shook his head slightly and introduced to everyone: "This is the "Bamboo and Stone Map" of Zheng Xie, one of the eight monsters of Yangzhou, and it is also one of his many famous works that have been circulated in the world. It can be called Zheng Banqiao's masterpiece. ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, seeing that everyone could listen attentively, Zhang Yuanfang's pretentious thoughts became stronger, and he said proudly: "Moreover, the text on it is still Zheng Banqiao's most proud six-and-a-half-minute book, which reads...... Bamboo ...... That clear ......"

Zhang Yuan sighed in relief, the things that he had memorized well before were now completely forgotten, and he immediately panicked. But the more panicked he became, the more he couldn't remember, and he was so anxious that he stared at him, and his face turned red, like a boiled shrimp.

Just when He Jie was snickering and waiting to see his jokes, and Zhang Yuanfang was also flustered, a voice rang out, and said calmly: "If I remember correctly, it should be written on it - a thatched hut, a patio, a few bamboo poles, and a small stone, it will be a game, and you can cook tea and stay guests." There is a clear shadow in the moon, and there is a sound of wind in the night, as long as you are idle and listen to it. Itabashi Jung-sub. ”

Tan Luoxiong slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand at this time, revealing the true face in it, and everyone immediately looked at the inscription on it, but it was exactly the same.

"Wow, you're right!"

Tan Mi patted Guo Xiu's shoulder excitedly, his face was full of excitement, and Tan Luoxiong on the side also glanced at him appreciatively.

Guo Xiu touched his nose and said very innocently: "I liked Zheng Xie's works very much earlier, so I have learned more or less. It's not surprising to know this. ”

Zhang Yuanfang's face on the side turned pale and blue, it stands to reason that Guo Xiu relieved him, he should feel happy, but as soon as he saw Guo Xiu's appearance, he was very unhappy, so instead of being grateful to Guo Xiu, he secretly hated Guo Xiu.

Secretly gritted his teeth and glanced at Guo Xiu fiercely, Zhang Yuanfang coughed, and said deliberately: "We all gave gifts to Uncle Tan today, and the fifth brother was originally from here, so it's understandable not to prepare, but I don't know what some people have prepared?" ”

Everyone was stunned, although Zhang Yuanfang did not name him, but everyone heard that he was talking about Guo Xiu. He Jie glanced at Zhang Yuan in disbelief, this kid's IQ is really a little good, how can he say such a thing?

Tan Luoxiong slowly put away the scroll in his hand and looked at Guo Xiu with a smile on his face, as if he was really waiting for Guo Xiu's gift.

Tan Mi's face turned cold for a moment, and he looked at Zhang Yuanfang with a blank face and said, "Guo Xiu is my friend, how can I bring a gift when I am a guest at my friend's house?" Do you think he's as low as you?! ”

Zhang Yuanfang didn't get angry when he heard this, but said with a smile: "It's another thing to say if this friend is not a friend, but Uncle Tan is his elder after all, don't you have to carry something in your hand when you see an elder for the first time?" This is also the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation! ”

Although Zhang Yuanfang's words were not rigorously reasoned, they were also reasonable, and they actually blocked the sharp-toothed Tan Mi. He Jie on the side was even more stunned, looking at Zhang Yuanfang as if he didn't know him, did this guy suddenly open his mind? IQ really isn't half a star.

"You!"

Tan Mi raised her eyebrows, and wanted to slap the table on the spot, but she was stopped by Guo Xiu, she turned her head sharply, but she happened to meet someone's smiling face.

Signaling that Tan Mi didn't need to be in a hurry, Guo Xiu calmly straightened his clothes and stood up, glanced at the people on the field with a smile, and finally focused his eyes on Zhang Yuanfang's disdainful face, and slowly spoke, and the first sentence thundered everyone on the outside.

"You do have a point, but well, you're wrong. In a way, Mr. Tan is really not my elder. ”
