Sure enough, when Tong Mu heard Zhou Yun's words, his face suddenly changed, and he no longer had the composure he had before, and he wanted to stop him but didn't know how to speak, so he looked eagerly at Sun Tu, who was at the end of the banquet.

It was Sun Tu, the party concerned, although he was also a little surprised at this time, but he quickly recovered, and immediately got up and arched his hand and said: "Zhou Gongzi praised it falsely, the birthday gift given by the lower official is just a little heart, and it is not worth mentioning at all." ”

"Sun Dutou is too humble, you just said that today's birthday gift will satisfy my uncle, I really want to see it." Saying that, Zhou Yun didn't give the others time to react, and immediately turned his head to a house slave on the side and ordered, "Hurry up and bring Sun Dutou's birthday gift." ”

The slave said yes and hurried away, while the other guests looked at Sun Tu behind him with suspicion, wondering what was so special about this district that could make Tong Shumi's nephews and grandnephews pay so much attention. And Tong Guan didn't stop at this time, just smiled thoughtfully, and his eyes fell on Tong Mu intentionally or unintentionally.

Soon, the house slave had already walked back with a one-foot square brocade box and delivered it to Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun only weighed the weight of the box, and his heart was even more determined, even if this thing was made of gold, it was not worth a few dollars, not to mention that there were too many gold and silver artifacts in the house today.

Without delay, he tore off the brocade wrapping wrapped around the box in a few clicks, and then opened the lid. At this time, Tong Mu suddenly said, "Slow." As he spoke, he quickly got up, and said to Tong Guanyi: "Uncle, since my cousin showed his birthday gift, my grandson can't hide it, so let's look at my grandson's birthday gift first." ”

"Okay, but what gift did you prepare for the old man?" Tong Guan was still very satisfied with this promising nephew, and asked immediately along the way.

Tong Mu immediately clapped his hands, and saw the third steward, Tong Rui, pulling Tong Yuan's small figure and walking over, holding a scroll in his hand. When Tong Yuan came to the hall, he didn't panic when he saw so many guests, he saluted in a proper manner, and said in a milky voice: "My grandson congratulates my uncle on his birthday, may you be as blessed as the East China Sea, and your longevity will be better than Nanshan." ”

"Okay, haha, okay." Seeing that his little nephew had such a performance, Tong Guan was very relieved. Seeing that he was happy, Tong Mu took the opportunity to say: "Actually, this birthday gift is made by my nephew and Yuan'er together, although it is not as valuable as my cousin's white tiger skin, but it is also a wish of the two of us." As he spoke, he nodded to Tong Rui.

The latter understood, and then unfolded the scroll in his hand, revealing the contents inside. These are just two calligraphy, and the book is what Tong Yuan said just now, such as the eight characters of Furu Donghai Shoubi Nanshan, and this word doesn't look like any bones, and it's not much different from children's graffiti.

But none of the guests present showed disdain because of this, but praised again and again: "The two Tong Gongzi are really filial people, and Tong Shuai is really blessed." Everyone already knows that these two characters should be written by Tong Yuan under the guidance of Tong Mu.

It is rare for a child who is only four or five years old to be able to write these eight characters neatly, not to mention that this script is quite large, it must have taken a lot of time and energy to write, and it should have failed many times before. This alone is enough to show the filial piety of these two nephews.

Of course, Tong Guan also knew this, so he smiled happily at first glance: "Okay, good, you two have a heart." Among so many birthday gifts today, in addition to the helmet and flag sent by Han Tao, this character won the heart of the old man the most. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like flipping a switch, and those guests once again praised Tong Mu and the two of them, and the flattering words made Tong Mu blush a little. But Zhou Yun's face turned blue, and he was even more indignant in his heart - the white tiger skin that he had spent a lot of effort and means to get was not as good as these two broken characters, how unfair his uncle was!

The more angry he was, the more Zhou Yun refused to let go of Sun Tu, and opened the box immediately: "Next, let's see what good things Sun Dutou is sending." ”

Tong Mu sighed secretly, did he come out to stir up and still failed to change the direction of things? The only thing that can be reassuring is that with his own calligraphy, the congratulatory gift sent by Sun Tu will not look too shabby.

At this time, the guests on the side also saw the problem, and looked at the box curiously in the spirit of watching the excitement, but the result was stunned: "Hey, ......" Everyone found that the brocade box was actually another box, a box with a metallic luster, and a lot of patterns carved on it.

Zhou Yun subconsciously wanted to open the box again, but he couldn't find the location of the lid, and he felt like he didn't know where to start, which made him stunned. Seeing this, Sun Tu smiled, stepped forward and said: "Tong Shuai, the lower official is from a poor background and has a low status, so he can't come up with anything of much value." Only a treasure that my father found when he went to sea in his early years often stayed by his side, and today he thought about offering it to Tong Shuai as a birthday gift, and hoped that Tong Shuai would not dislike it. ”

"Oh? Is this box still a treasure? Tong Guan looked at the box with great interest, looking at the workmanship and looking at the elegant box, I don't know what the name is, at least Zhou Yun looked up and down for a while and couldn't see the reason.

Sun Tu smiled, and then stretched out his hand to Zhou Yunyi: "Zhou Gongzi, let the lower officials demonstrate it for Tong Shuai." ”

"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost." Zhou Yun muttered quietly, and then handed over the box in his hand.

Sun Tu took the box, touched the brocade box again, took out a small key of the same material, and then inserted the key into the hole on the side of the box and twisted it vigorously.

"There's still a key? I wondered why there was a hole in this box just now......" Under the surprised gaze of Zhou Yun and other guests, Sun Tu had finished the movements in his hand, and as soon as he pulled out the key, a crisp music came out of the box, and then the top that was originally closed was actually cracked, and several small bronze statues rose from the inside, slowly sliding on the top of the box with the sound of music......

That's right, what Sun Tu gave Tong Guan today was an extremely common music box in later generations, which he found from the No. 6 toy warehouse. But the toys that can amuse three-year-old children in later generations have unimaginable magic thousands of years ago, so that everyone present stared at the box for a long time, until the song was finished and the bronze statue fell again, these people were still stunned.

Tong Guan was also stunned for a while, and then clapped his hands and said, "This treasure is really interesting, and it is indeed something that the old man has never seen." Quick, take it and let someone take a closer look. ”

Sun Tu agreed, handed it over to the house slave who came over, and then explained how to tighten the clockwork. Tong Guan immediately tried to wind it up again, and then another burst of music came, and this time the music was actually different from the one just now, and the people present were surprised for a while.

Zhou Yun was dumbfounded at this moment, he really didn't expect Sun Tu to come up with such a rare treasure. Tong Mu also opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't react, Sun Sanlang actually hid such a hand, and he was still worried about him.

After playing with the music box for a while, Tong Guan smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, good, this birthday gift is deeply in line with the old man's heart, thousands of miles, you really have a heart." ”

Sun Tu was busy with a few humble words, but he muttered in his heart, how could Tong Guan's reaction be so strong, it stands to reason that even if the music box is rare, it can't compare to those real money treasures.

He didn't know what this thing meant to Tong Guan, it was a treasure that could please the emperor. Today's officials have always liked novelties, so he will deliberately go to the people to collect strange stones and plants or rare birds and beasts, and even make a flower and stone gang in the south of the Yangtze River. And if a treasure like the music box is dedicated to the Son of Heaven, Tong Guan will definitely be rewarded, and maybe the attitude of the Son of Heaven will be determined at the critical moment.

Therefore, for Tong Guan, among today's congratulatory gifts, the birthday gift given by Sun Tu is the most valuable, and he is naturally very excited.

Zhou Yun didn't expect that he would inadvertently let Sun Tu show a big face, and he hated it in his heart, but he could only force a smile, and said insincerely: "Sun Dutou is really good at his ability, and he admires it." ”

Sun Tu looked at his blue smiling face and was amused, but he still couldn't lack the courtesy, and he also replied: "Actually, it's thanks to Zhou Gongzi's help." That's even more infuriating......

Subsequently, this birthday banquet continued, and it was not until about the third watch that the guests and hosts dispersed happily. Sun Tu said goodbye to Tong Guan, who was already drunk, and then walked out of the lobby, and then everyone's eyes were attracted by the strange situation in the sky in front of him!
