"Look at it, look at it, it's about to start singing the gift list, so many guests come to congratulate today, and I don't know who can make a fortune, if my family can be ranked in the top ten, then I will be satisfied......"

"Yo, the sister-in-law of the Wu family is so thoughtful, she actually wants to be in the top ten, it seems that the gifts from your family are very expensive."

"Where, no, no, just a little courtesy, just a thought...... But what are you going to give? It's better to let your sister-in-law hear it! ”

"Uh...... My family is also a little gift. ”

Since ancient times, the gift giving link has always been pleasant to see, the concept of the ancients is different from that of later generations, and they like to do things both obscuribly and like pomp, such as this gift-giving, most of them are full of modesty, but in fact it is not, it is clear that they are riveting enough to compete for a jackpot.

Why?

It's because of the doorway of singing the gift list.

A singing word, highlighting the importance of this link, the so-called singing is not singing, but shouting out the gift list of the person who gave the gift, whose gift is brilliant, it will naturally increase face on this occasion.

This custom is actually very good, it is easy to make the atmosphere up, on the other hand, on the other hand, on various occasions in later generations, the giver picks and searches to dodge, makes a red envelope and stuffs it up, and the person who receives the gift takes a pen, so it is a hasty move, and loses the taste of traditional etiquette.

……

In the expectant eyes of the ladies, I suddenly saw a few teenagers walking out with a happy plate, which was covered with a red cloth, symbolizing the joy of the main family after receiving the gift list.

"Wow, do you see it, do you see it, the first singer is Li Chengqian, this is the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Prince. Looking at today, whose baby's full moon gift can dispatch such a level of singers. Envy, envy. ”

"What's the use of envy, we can't envy it. Gu Jiahu Baby is the sister-in-law of Princess Pingyang, and Li Chengqian is seriously regarded as the cousin of Tiger Baby. So this is because of family affection, and the royal family wants to use this move to announce to others! ”

"Tell people? What's the announcement? ”

"What is announced is that the Gu family will be an upright relative from now on...... Do you know why? This is to give the princess a name, the princess was depressed at the beginning, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river and almost died, fortunately she was rescued by Gu Tianya, and the little couple achieved a marriage, but the Gu family at that time was too poor to even support the marriage scene, and the poor princess was a handsome woman of her generation, and she married in obscurity. If this matter is strictly spoken, it is easy to be ridiculed, so the royal family supports it today and wants to correct the princess. ”

"There are so many doorways!"

"That's not ......"

These ladies of the Tang Dynasty, some are shrewd and some are mediocre, but no matter whether they are shrewd or mediocre, they are all attracted by a few teenagers at this time.

I only heard someone surprised and said: "The one behind Li Chengqian is Cheng Chumo, right?" This little guy is actually in front of Li Chongyi! It's weird, it's weird. Li Chongyi is a member of the royal family, and Cheng Chumo is only the eldest son of the Cheng family, why is he ranked second, isn't this arrangement rude? ”

"It's not rude, it's reasonable. Today, these teenagers are in charge of chanting the gift list, their identities can only be judged by the main family, Cheng Chumo is Gu Tianya's eldest disciple, and he belongs to the leader of the Gu family's disciples, so even if Li Chongyi is from the royal family, he can only follow Cheng Chumo. ”

"I see, the Cheng family can be regarded as showing their faces today."

Between the whispers of the noblewomen, several teenagers lined up with wedding plates, and the well-informed people began to whisper to their children about the origin of these teenagers.

First singing, Li Chengqian.

The second singing, Cheng Chumo.

Sanying, Li Chongyi.

Four thanks, the house is loved.

Five invitations, Lu Zhaolin.

Liu Gong, Wang Bo.

There are six teenagers in a row, except for Li Chengqian, all of whom are Gu Tianya's disciples, and there is another girl who is as handsome as a pearl, but Tan Xiao, who is in charge of collecting the return gift list.

……

The welcoming teenagers who sang the gift list had already appeared, but the scene suddenly had a slight stagnation, but seeing the countless guests in the audience, no one stepped forward for a while, all of them were watching left and right, and they were not willing to be the first to give gifts.

It turns out that there is some talk about this.

In ancient times, all gifts should be given at a level of identity, and there was no such thing as first coming and then coming, but some potential tacit understandings should be taken into account.

What are the tacit understandings?

The more noble the guest, the more the time to give gifts must be delayed.

The more powerful the guest, the more the time to give gifts must be delayed.

The heavier the gift, the more backward, the lighter the gift, the more front row, this is because the ancients paid attention to face, and liked to take care of other people's emotions, otherwise the first person to give the gift will give the heaviest gift, and the light gift will not lose color, not only the guests feel embarrassed, but the host also feels full of guilt, so there will be a potential tacit understanding, the heaviest gift should be sent at the end.

This is the meaning of the so-called finale.

But today's incident is a little helpless, just because the guests who came to congratulate each other are extraordinary, and the family that is brought out casually is a national prince, and it is precisely because of this that they feel that their own family will definitely not be weaker than others.

That's why the scene froze for a while, and no one gave the first gift for a long time.

I am afraid that my gift is too heavy, which will crush the face of the person who gave the gift later.

However, the occasion should not be so frozen all the time, otherwise, both the host family and the guests will be embarrassed......

So soon the shrewd person stood up, greeted the guests with a smile on his face, and said very modestly: "My husband is only a county marquis, and the identity of the concubine is difficult to compare with you. ”

The guests present waved their hands again and again, and they all invited her forward with a smile on their faces.

But the noble lady did not step forward in person, but pulled out a small baby from behind, and said with a smile: "This is the eldest son of the family, let him come over to see a scene today, the concubine is a woman after all, if I give a gift is a little disrespectful, you give the child a way, let him send my family's gift list over." ”

The guests smiled even more softly, and made a gap for the little baby with encouraging eyes.

The little baby was only about seven or eight years old, trembling and trembling with a gift slip stepped forward, the little guy glanced at Li Chengqian, weakly held up the gift slip and said: "Niu family, congratulations to the gift of Gu's tiger baby." ”

Li Chengqian was also only eight years old, and he was also very nervous in this kind of public view, and stammered: "Xie... Thank you, on behalf of my uncle Gu Tianya, and my aunt Princess Pingyang, thank you for the gift from the Niu family. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the tray covered with red cloth and took the gift list very solemnly.

Then Tan Xiao stepped forward quickly, reached out and picked up the gift list from the plate and unfolded it, she held the gift list in front of Li Chengqian's eyes, lowered her business and encouraged: "Read!" ”

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, tried to muster up the courage to read aloud, and said: "The Niu family's congratulatory gift, eight swaddling clothes, 100 catties of copper, nine horses of silk, and a piece of jade pendant carved by skillful workmanship, blessing the Gu Jiahu baby to be like a jade when he grows up." ”

This is the singing list.

Loudly chant the gift of the giver.

The noble lady was full of modesty, chuckled at the guests around her, and kept saying: "I can't take it, I can't take it, the main thing is a few small swaddling clothes, and giving it to the tiger baby is a heart." ”

Actually, you can't do it.

Copper 100 gold, silk nine horses, although this is an ordinary gift, but the value is at least two or three hundred yuan, the most important thing is a piece of jade pendant, it must be the top Hetian jade material, since you dare to say a word of skillful carving, then it must be really invited master craftsmen.

With the beginning of the Niu family, the guests have a score in their hearts, and then they will take the congratulatory gifts of the Niu family as a reference, and start to step forward according to the weight of their respective gifts.

The second family is Li Jing's family, Li Jing is known as the military god of Tiance Mansion, and now he is the head of the march in Henan Province, it is said that his family background is very good, but unfortunately his friendship with Gu Tianya is not deep, so the gift is not light or thick.

The third family is Hou Junji's family, and the gifts are also not light or thick, but if converted into money, it must be at least a few hundred times.

Then the fourth, the fifth, the sixth......

As time went by, the guests of Daohe continued to send out gift lists, and gradually, various treasures began to appear in the gifts, causing bursts of exclamations from time to time.

Finally, the first shocking thing appeared.

But listening to Li Chengqian's loud praise, he said: "Liu Hongji's family, He Gu's tiger baby full moon baptism, the best Nanzhu, forty-nine, as big as goose eggs, each round ......"

Hiss!

The sound of gasps and cold air was all over the room.

The best Nanzhu?

Big as a goose egg?

Even if there is only one of these things, it can be regarded as a rare treasure, and if there can be two, it is a pair of pearls.

Now there are forty-nine, and all of them are round beads, which can no longer be described as rare treasures, this is simply the inheritance of the suppression of the treasury.

But seeing that Kui Guogong's wife looked modest, she waved her hand again and again and said: "A little gift, a little gift, the main thing is that the concubine was born in a Lingnan pearl diving family, and she relied on her mother's door to get together these beads and give them to the tiger baby as a thing, and the little guy can play with them as goose eggs." ”

The guests were speechless.

The pearl you gave is as big as a goose egg, but you really let the baby tiger play as a goose egg? This thing is not for play, it has to be kept in the treasury as an heirloom.

Liu Hongji's wife is still modest, but anyone can see the excitement on her face.

Today's lottery, the Liu family can be regarded as a position.

However, the gift is heavier and heavier the further it goes, which means that the next gift is even more extraordinary.

Sure enough, I saw another noble lady come out, also dragging a little guy from behind, and said with a smile: "This palace also brought the child over, take advantage of today's opportunity to let the child increase his knowledge, since everyone is asking the eldest son to come forward to send a gift list, then this palace will also let the child follow a big stream." ”

As he spoke, he gently pushed his child and said with a smile: "Go, give your little cousin the tiger baby a gift list." ”

The guests present all recognized that this was Princess Gaomi of the Li royal family. She and Li Xiuning are sisters, and the gift given today must be not light.

Really......

I saw that the little guy stepped forward with a gift list, and the little adult generally put it in the wedding plate held by Li Chengqian, and said solemnly: "Duan family, the joy of the full moon of the Gu family's tiger baby." ”

The informant princess is married to Duan Lun, so this child is Duan Lun's eldest son, Li Chengqian naturally knows him, and hurriedly nodded solemnly and said: "Thank you for the gift, I will take care of my uncle Gu Tianya, and my aunt Princess Pingyang, thank you for the gift of the Duan family." ”

Tan Xiao stood aside to help him unfold the gift list, and motioned for Li Chengqian to start chanting loudly.

The guests were breathless, knowing that this would be a great gift.

Guessed exactly.

I saw that Li Chengqian was obviously shocked, and the little guy's voice was trembling with a hint of trembling, and said: "Tongshan is a mountain, located in the east of the Tang River. A red coral in the East China Sea, about two feet three inches tall. A small box of fine red real gold, weighing ninety-nine taels. Ten cabinets of snowflake silver, weighing 999 catties......"

Nima!

The crowd almost drew over.

Ninety-nine taels of gold, nine hundred and ninety-nine catties of snowflakes and silver, if these are converted into copper coins, they will have to be at least 100,000 yuan, but these two gifts are not really scary, at most they are a big bully. What was really scary was the red coral, which was two feet three inches tall.

A gem.

In ancient times, three feet and three inches were equivalent to one meter in the current generations, and two feet and three inches were almost seventy or eighty centimeters high.

Red coral is a rare treasure, a palm-high red coral is already considered rare, what is the concept of a height of 70 or 80 centimeters? It's definitely a legacy that can suppress the treasure trove.

Princess Gaomi really deserves to be Li Xiuning's sister, and this generous gift is definitely the finale. As a princess of the royal family, she didn't want other guests to be so modest, but opened her mouth with a smile, and said with a smile: "I can have today's wealth, because of the light of the Li family, the Li family can sit down in the country, half of the credit is the credit of Sister Pingyang, the tiger baby is my nephew, and no matter how heavy the gift is, it is not heavy." It's not that I'm already married, and I have children to raise at home, so I really want to take out all the money from my family, so that my little nephew won't suffer and be poor here......"

The guests rolled their eyes.

As for these gifts you give, the tiger baby can't spend it all his life, and he still suffers from poverty, how can there be such a saying in the world about suffering and being poor?
