Chapter 173: Gift-giving
When a man is serious, he is very reliable in doing things, especially a powerful and rich man like Sima Wudao.
The competition process is very formal, and it has the prototype of the 'international competition' in later generations.
If you want to sign in, you have to sign in person.
Damn, didn't you sign it when you entered the door? Han Xiaosheng's signature can be regarded as signing!
Grind and rub until the end, until you light a stick of incense, and the incense will stop.
Li Dawei signed it at the last moment, and at a glance, he was exactly the 32nd, which... Isn't it the round of 32 of the World Cup?
Pen mention, incense extinguished.
Today's 'birthday star' Sima Yanran and Sima Wudao are both sitting in the middle, dressed in white, sitting in the front, elegant and dignified.
Sima Wudao also has an 'opening' speech, which is nothing more than welcoming everyone to watch the ceremony; I encourage all the young and handsome people to compete in style, to show the level, the first friendship in the competition, and finally the top three will receive rich rewards, but the final decision is in the hands of Sima Yanran.
To put it bluntly, Li Dawei still recognizes Sima Wudao and is more open-minded. Maybe he really loves his daughter or can't help it.
Then there are the details of the competition, which is actually a point system: 32 people, 32 points for the first place, 1 point for the last place, sorted by the number of points. 192 out of 192 points
Fair enough! The measurement is comprehensive.
The first item
Of course, it is a birthday gift for Miss Sima.
The retinue were all brought over, with gifts in their hands. The order of entry is the order in which you sign in.
Li Dawei was a little embarrassed in his heart, he was still complaining just now, he never thought that every step was useful. But that doesn't mean the sooner the better.
Everyone's gifts are thoughtful, and some are even very valuable. For example, 'Wang Qi', that is, the one who is 'hermaphrodite', is four 'rolling beads', large and round, which is extremely rare. Sima Wudao couldn't help but take a second look and said, "Wang Shi's nephew has a heart!" ”
Wang Qi's eloquence was also very good, and he replied: "Only such beads can barely be worthy of Miss Yanran!" ”
Yu Chengliang brought a brocade inlaid with gold wires, which were only found in the south, and the number was very rare;
There was actually a horse directly brought a horse, which was also red, and it seemed that he had thoroughly understood Sima Yanran's preferences and won a smile from the beauty.
Every gift will be sung loudly by someone, and the rare thing will cause everyone to exclaim, and the giver will feel very face-saving and proud, like a big rooster with a tail cocked.
Li Dawei wanted to laugh when he saw it, and patted him forward: "No. 31, what are you carrying!" ”
Han Xiaosheng turned around and said with some embarrassment: "Big... Brother Dawei, I'm sending a horsewhip."
"No, Brother Han likes to play the queen game, don't you have to prepare candles!"
"What does that mean?" Han Xiaosheng couldn't understand the meaning of the combination of these two things, and explained: "This was sent by my father. Big... Brother Dawei, what are you preparing? ”
Li Dawei was just about to answer, and the roll call in front of him, 'Mo Xiaojun', huh? Something familiar!
I turned my head to look at the 'Mo Wait' next to him, saw that his expression was different, and asked, "Your cousin who is a third-grade and second-class cousin?" ”
"Exactly" Mo Waitless nodded and said, "The same lineage"
"Looks like he's more ambitious than yours!" Li Dawei said with a smile, and then saw the gift given by Mo Xiaojun clearly,, it was actually a puppy, look at the appearance, Nima, 'Tibetan mastiff'!
How did you get it?
Now is not the period of 'strong man', but the north of the Yangtze River has fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu, Qian, Xianbei, Di, and Qiang's 'Wuhu', which is too hand-eyed, right?
The key is that the gift is sent to the heart, Sima Yanran has a lot of vicious dogs at home, and there is no doubt that he is a dog lover, Li Dawei has a personal experience of this, and he also slaughtered two.
Li Dawei is also a dog lover, and the dog meat hot pot is really good.
When Mo Xiaojun came back, he passed by Li Dawei's side. Stopped, with a warm smile on his face, and said enthusiastically: "Yo, isn't this 'Xiaoxian'?" Grow taller again! ”
"Hello cousin!"
"Xiaoxian is so polite, you used to be quite naughty, it seems that you have grown up and become sensible."
Damn, Han Xiaosheng, who was scathing and mean, frowned.
Li Dawei plucked out his ears, flicked it, and turned his head and asked, "Brother Mo, I shouldn't have brought you over, I didn't expect that there were still dogs in the City Lord's Mansion that were not leashed, and the noisy people were upset." ”
"You..." Mo Xiaojun was about to flare up in anger, but found that the other party was looking at him calmly, and woke up, this is the City Lord's Mansion, "Hmph, don't think I don't know you, just a rural people!" ”
"Oh..."Li Dawei understood after pondering in his head, and said with a smile: "Your master Ge Ming can't please me under my hands, where do you get your confidence?" ”
"Humph! We're just a partnership. The people of the Mo family have backbone, how can they be attached to them at will" Mo Xiaojun glanced at Mo and waited, then picked up his right hand and looked at it: "Willing to fall!" Throwing in the towel so quickly, I don't feel a sense of accomplishment at all. ”
"A dog can't grow ivory in his mouth!" Li Dawei sneered: "Brother Mo will become an existence that you look up to in the future." ”
Mo Xiaojun smiled conceitedly: "Maybe, but you can pass my level first!" With that, he walked away.
"Thank you, Master"
"This 'Mo Xiaojun' is very powerful?"
"He is one of the best peers in our lineage, and in addition to being extremely talented in organs, he is also very outstanding in poetry, calligraphy, archery, music, royalty, and mathematics. I didn't expect him to come."
"You won't have confidence in me, I'm just a 'gunner' who was hired by my defeated general." Li Dawei smiled: "Don't worry, what I usually reveal is just the tip of the iceberg." Seeing that Mo was waiting for a casual look, Li Dawei patted him on the shoulder and said: "A manly man, it is the ability to afford it, and it is the courage to let it go." ”
Mo waited for a while, nodded and said, "Thank you, master!" ”
Han Xiaosheng is the penultimate appearance, and the 'mission' is the task, but the process can not be sloppy.
Li Dawei was the last to appear, came to the front of the stage, looked at Sima Yanran with a 'dignified' face, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Mo, are the music boxes and perfume in there?" ”
"Yes, Brother Wang has prepared both."
"Give me the perfume!"
Just under his nose, he actually hid back another birthday gift to give, the corners of Sima Wudao's mouth twitched, and Sima Yanran was neither happy nor sad.
Li Dawei put away the perfume, and then hugged his fist and said: "Li Dawei from Jufeng Valley gave Miss Yanran a 'music box', and wished Miss Yanran 'every year today, every year has today'"
Simple and straightforward.
The subordinate took the 'gift' in the hand of the 'Mo Wait' and gently placed it on the table in front of him, and then tied the silk cloth outside, revealing a very ordinary square box.
Ordinary cedar, but it's finally polished and smooth, but this looks too good... The corners of Sima Wudao's mouth twitched, and his eyelids twitched upward.
Li Dawei said: "The gift is in the box" To be honest, since seeing the "sample", Li Dawei has not seen the follow-up production process of the "music box", in addition to being busy making perfumes, there are always a lot of things, and I don't have time to look at it.
Sima Wudao just looked at it with a smile. Li Dawei slapped his head, damn, are you living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, dare to play tricks in front of you, a master of the 'seven grades'? gestured, and stepped forward.
Open the box outside, the things inside made Sima Yanran stunned, the cylinder was carved with a beautiful woman standing on one leg dancing, take a closer look, and her own vivid, extremely realistic.
The figure on top of the entire 'music box' is made of reddish wood, and the bottom is white. It shows the elegance of the 'dancing' people above. Sima Yanran's face was also a little moved.
Sima Wudao bowed slightly, and said, "It seems that you still put some thought into it." ”
Who knows that Li Dawei said: "This is called 'music box', of course, it is related to music. There's a trap here that needs to be opened. ”
It is better to say some things clearly, but it is not good to cause misunderstandings.
"Oh~ open it up and listen to it!"
Don't wait for the idle step forward, tighten the winding in the 'squeak' sound, let go of your hand, and stand with your hands down.
There was a 'ding-dong', a rhythm that had never been heard before, and the 'little man' above swirled with the rhyme.
Skillful, it's a miracle, Sima Wudao's eyes are straight, this... It's amazing.
Sima Yanran was stunned at first, and then had a surprised expression, her eyes shining.
At the end of the song, the villain stopped spinning, and Sima Yanran was still staring at the 'music box' in a daze.
Li Dawei hugged his fists and said: "This thing can be used repeatedly"
Mo waited to step forward again, and explained while operating, "You can rotate this 'knob' in this direction to the end, but this thing cannot be disassembled." After finishing it, he pressed it on the side, and in Sima Yanran's puzzled gaze, a secret door popped open. Then he stopped talking and stepped back.
Sima Yanran took out a white silk from the secret door, glanced at it, and froze again, with a hint of blush on her face.
All this fell in Sima Wudao's eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction.
32 people and 32 gifts, either precious or rare, Sima Wudao then announced that everyone had taken care of the gifts they had given, and all of them were qualified to carry out the second item.
The first is the qualifying competition, and the second is the main competition, a competition of poetry, calligraphy, archery, music, royalty, and mathematics.
The 'courtship' conference officially began.
