Chapter 226: A meeting gift to Shangguan Wan'er

Who is Yifu? The favored ministers of the emperor and queen in the past, and now the long-term offender official, Yi is not a person in the same boat, at this time, he will be so kind to Shangguan Yi to pay a birthday greeting? At this moment, even those who don't know much about current affairs are also muttering secretly over there, not to mention a few big people around Shangguanyi.

Under the eyes of everyone, the old Shangguan calmly put the letter into his arms, and immediately nodded happily around and smiled: "Since everyone is here, go to the hall to sit and sit, so surrounded, I am afraid that the crown prince and King Pei will not be able to bear this birthday gift, if it melts before the time comes, wouldn't it be a hard work to disappoint the two highnesses?" ”

Seeing that Shangguan Yi didn't mention the details in the letter, but mentioned it, the onlookers couldn't help but be disappointed, but most of them still dispersed according to their words. But Li Xian was not so obedient, and walked up a few steps to Shangguan Yi with a smile, and stood there with his hands crossed.

"This ice sculpture is just a novelty, and after tonight, I will ask a few craftsmen to come and re-ponder it, and put it in the ice cellar to preserve. Speaking of which, I originally wanted to give Shangguan Xianggong a jade statue, but because it was not easy to ponder, I changed it to this, and Xianggong should not dislike this gift too thin. ”

Too thin...... The old Shangguan glanced at the serious Li Xian, and muttered unconsciously in his heart. The crown prince Li Hong is his student, but Li Xian is not, and now even the birthday gift is a joint effort between the two brothers, which means a lot. No wonder Yu Zhining, an old-timer, had to squeeze to be the prince of Pei, and Xu Jingzong had to go to the chief of the Pei Wangfu at a great age, but they were all torch-eyed people. As long as the two brothers are really close and harmonious, Li Hong will ...... in the future

Wow –

An inopportune cry instantly interrupted Shangguan Yi's thoughts, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a family member holding a baby. Standing frantically not far away, coaxing.

Before the old Shangguan could scold, Li Xian suddenly stepped forward, and when he got closer, he recognized the baby at a glance - although he had only met him once, how could he forget this Shangguan Wan'er? While the old Shangguan is still far away. He actually stretched out his finger and pinched it on that little face, and when he saw that she suddenly stopped crying, she glanced back and forth at his face with a pair of dark eyes. He burst out laughing.

Shangguan Yi finally rushed over, and happened to see the scene where Li Xian made it bad, and he didn't feel a little inexplicable in his heart - the reputation of this King Pei Li Xian's willful and heroic man was outside. I've never heard of him liking children, and his granddaughter is not yet a year old!

"What are you doing with Wan'er at this time!"

Before the family could answer, Li Xian suddenly waved his hand and smiled: "When I came here with the fifth brother of the prince last time, I happened to meet this child, and now I bumped into him by coincidence, isn't it fate?" ”

As he spoke, he untied a string of things from his waist - but instead of jade pendants, but a string of gold, silver and bronze bells, all small and cute. Without saying a word, he stuffed things into Shangguan Wan'er's hand. By the way, I glanced at the child a few more times, and I felt very sorry in my heart. If you have to wait for this Shangguan Wan'er to grow up, it will take more than ten years, to say the least, and you can only look at it.

Although Shangguan Yi is not a person who likes to inquire about all kinds of rumors, he is in this position. Even if he didn't ask, many things were told to him - Helanyan, the daughter of the late Korean lady, had an ambiguous relationship with Li Xian. What is the leader of the Chang'an Noble Women's Legion, Qu Tushen, who has a green eye on Li Xian, and why Xu Jingzong is stunned and wants to stuff his granddaughter to Li Xian......

In addition, Li Xian's half-truths and half-truths are even more popular outside. So. Seeing this gift, he was unprecedentedly vigilant.

"His Royal Highness King Pei, this ......"

Without waiting for the old official to say anything big and excuse himself, Li Xian immediately blocked back with a smile: "People say that there must be a meeting gift when they meet, I came in a hurry last time, and I didn't prepare it, if I don't show it at all this time, wouldn't it be a loss of courtesy?" As he spoke, he glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, arched his hand and went straight in the direction of the hall.

And Shangguan Yi stayed there for a long time without moving-meeting gift? Why did he think that this greeting gift was mysterious!

Because of pondering the mystery of this greeting ceremony, when Shangguan Yi returned to the hall, his face was ugly, and he didn't have the slightest consciousness of the birthday star. It wasn't until his family came up to remind him that he came back to his senses and continued to greet visitors from all over the world with a spring breeze on his face. However, among the guests who saw the scene just now, many people pondered it. Naturally, the direction they pondered was completely different from what Shangguan Yi thought.

A fluttering greeting gift, but it caused a wave of pondering, and the initiator Li Xian taught Qu Tu Zhongxiang a lesson later. When he heard that this kid had packaged one of the twin swords and gave it to Shangguan Yi as a birthday gift, he couldn't help but pat his head and sigh - this kid usually looks shrewd, why doesn't he have any scheming today?

"The price of those two swords is 700 guan, and the single sword is 350 guan, that is, 350,000 yuan. Let me ask you, what kind of friendship do you have with the old Shangguan to give such a heavy gift? ”

Qu Tu Zhongxiang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked instinctively

Did you ask me to give one of them as a birthday gift to the prime minister? Thinking of the 350,000 yuan, his heart suddenly hung up. If such a large sum of money was wasted all of a sudden, he would have to wipe his neck!

"Who told you to send it with someone else?" Li Xian knocked heavily on Qu Tu Zhongxiang's shoulder with a fan, and then whispered in his ear for a while, and finally said angrily, "You don't know the temper of the old Shangguan, this kind of thing should be treated sincerely, just tell the purpose honestly." Ahem, don't be too honest and get all the bottom out of it! ”

Qu Tu Zhongxiang nodded again and again, and as soon as he turned around, he slipped away without a trace. And Li Jingye has long been mixed with the guests, with the status of Li Ji's eldest grandson and the heir of the British duke, he is naturally like a fish in water. Cheng Bohu didn't have such a good temperament and grinded his teeth with a group of official-like guys, and rested early. Xue Dingshan saw that Qu Tu Zhongxiang was gone, so he walked up.

"Rokuro, my father said that he has a good bow waiting for you to admire. If you are free for these two days, come to my house, and he will prepare wine for you. Xue Dingshan glanced around as he spoke, and suddenly lowered his voice, "For those wines, it seems that my father has squeezed a lot of colleagues, and it is likely that many people will come on the day you come, so you can be careful." ”

Xue Rengui invited him to appreciate a good bow? But wouldn't it be in vain to have a good bow but not good archery? To say that Xue Rengui is really cunning, he actually squeezed good wine from his colleagues, and then sold him with one hand, if it wasn't for Xiao Xue's reminder, wouldn't he have been deceived?

As soon as he thought about it, he grabbed Xue Dingshan and asked quietly, "Since you have a good bow, why don't you leave it to you?" ”

Xue Dingshan was stunned when he heard this, and then spread his hands very calmly and said: "I have been used to using that wooden bow since I was a child, don't underestimate it, although it is not famous, it is also made by master craftsmen, and my father used it when he was in Haidongdi." Daddy's new bow was specially prepared for you, saying that it was missing a greeting gift last time...... Ahem, didn't you say you wanted to learn archery from him? If you don't take advantage of the time when he is free now, he won't have a chance to go on the expedition in the future! ”

If the words in front of him still touched Li Xian's heart, then, when he heard the words "meeting gift" at the back, he really had an urge to laugh - how could he miss the scene when the old Shangguan came in with a rigid face just now, needless to say, it was definitely not the credit of Li Yifu's letter, but the credit of his meeting gift. Ahem, it's not easy to see this personable celebrity show such a face!

The moment of gossip of the guests passed quickly, and before the official start of the birthday feast, someone in the palace sent congratulatory gifts from Li Zhi and Empress Wu. Li Zhi's birthday gift is simple and practical, one inkstone ten imperial pens, by the way to Shangguan Tingzhi added an official, don't look at this just one official, this kind of treatment is very few people can enjoy, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji took an official position for his son and did not do anything. However, the congratulatory gift of the Empress Wu is a word, but it is a copy of Zhuangzi's leisurely journey, and the handwriting is magnificent, which makes people sigh.

Between the staggering, the birthday poems are naturally continuous, and most of them are gorgeous poems that are favored by the official ceremony. If it was usual, the old Shangguan would inevitably praise it, but today, Li Xian first said something when giving the gift, and then he was disturbed by the matter of the meeting gift, so he actually felt that those poems were like chewing wax, and the so-called comments were perfunctory.

As a disciple, the crown prince Li Hong also felt that those empty and gorgeous poems were boring, and he suddenly smiled after holding the pot and toasting the wine once: "He Shou is only boring, in addition to the ice sculpture that I sent with my sixth brother, I also brought a famous horse." Why don't you just sing a song about this horse? Shangguan Taifu's literary name is well-known all over the world, and he is today's birthday star, so how about starting with Taifu? ”

He commanded those around him, and soon the horse was led to the front of the hall. But seeing that the horse's whole body was snow-white, without half a stray hair, it looked like a divine horse. Li Xian, who has always loved horses, actually stood up with Li Xian next to him, and the other guests also praised him.

Li Hong, the crown prince, spoke personally, and Shangguan Yi naturally found it difficult to refuse. At this time, there were countless flatteries during the banquet, and his poetry gradually rose, and after three glasses of wine, he finally left his seat and chanted: "Gui Xiangchen is reduced, and the shadow is empty before the moon." Confused by the officials, in vain on the Weng. ”

After the four sentences, everyone immediately applauded, and Shangguan Yi couldn't help but drink a few more cups proudly. And when Li Xianzheng thought that he had nothing to do, Yu Zhining, who was on the first seat on the left, suddenly twisted his beard with a smile: "Since Shangguan Taifu has a good word, why don't His Royal Highness King Pei also have a song?" ”
