Chapter 18: The Cold Abyss.
The reason why the juniors of the Bai family can also appear at this important birthday banquet is the decision of Bai Xi, the helmsman of the Bai family, in order to let the juniors of the Bai family enter the field of vision of some people at this birthday banquet where VIPs gather, and lay a good foundation for their future path.
The order of congratulatory gifts naturally begins with the descendants of the family.
A young man in a white brocade suit first walked to the center of the hall with a jade box in both hands, and then knelt on the ground and said loudly, "The descendants of Bai Su presented ten central stones. ”
The old man sitting on the main seat nodded, and then the housekeeper on the side immediately took the jade box.
The young man in the blue brocade suit seemed a little lost, but he could only retreat to the side in a huff.
Next.
"Sun Zi Bai Qian presented a picture of "Qingming Mountains and Rivers". A young man said respectfully to the old man in the main seat.
The old man nodded again, and the butler immediately took the scroll.
3rd place, 4th place......
A handsome young man walked to the center of the hall with a faint smile on his lips, and his hands were holding a rectangular wooden box about four feet long carved with dark flowers, and there was a fragrance lingering at the tip of everyone's noses.
"The aroma seems a little familiar." Zhao Sheng, the blessed Linquan Jun, couldn't help but muttered to himself, and the people around him suddenly realized that the aroma mixed in the snort was too familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a while.
"It's Guixiang!" This time it was Zhao Sheng, who was bloated, who spoke, and this time the doubt in his eyes turned into surprise, "It's actually Hua Gui Mu, or such a large piece of Hua Gui Mu, it's unbelievable." ”
Everyone's eyes are staring at the red wooden box, and sure enough, the texture of the flower cinnamon wood in their memory is extremely similar, but the growth environment of the flower cinnamon wood is extremely demanding, so it is often priceless, and most of their homes are just a fist-sized piece of flower cinnamon wood in the bedroom, I can't imagine that today I actually saw a wooden box made of flower cinnamon wood, according to the market price, a fist-sized flower cinnamon wood is as high as 100 gold, so the entire four-foot-long wooden box is not worth more than 1,000 gold?
And this wooden box is obviously a containing thing, which can be decorated with a wooden box worth thousands of gold, which shows the preciousness of the things inside.
Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost the same, the handsome man smiled slightly, and then opened the wooden box, and a cyan and simple three-foot sword immediately appeared in front of everyone. The cyan ancient sword body is engraved with dragons, the depiction is delicate and lifelike, the hilt is spiral, and the blade is bright, but the whole sword exudes a heavy chill, and even the temperature in the hall has dropped a lot for a while.
"The descendants of Bai Yan present the rare and famous sword - Han Yuan, and wish my grandfather a blessing like the East China Sea and a long life!" The handsome man knelt in the center of the hall, his lips pale and respectful, several frost beads formed on his eyebrows at this time, and his arms kept trembling, as if he was a little weak to hold the red wooden box.
The old man on the main seat looked at the cyan ancient sword in the wooden box, looked at the handsome man with a pale face, and said lightly, "You have a heart." ”
Although the handsome man's body was cold and piercing at this time, his heart was full of pleasure, and the sword he had worked so hard to get finally had an effect.
You must know that except for the missing moon tea given by the man in the Chinese costume, the old man did not take a second look at the previous congratulatory gifts.
When the housekeeper took over the wooden box, the handsome man stepped aside with his frozen hands, still with a faint smile between his lips and teeth.
After the wooden box was closed, the temperature in the hall gradually returned to normal, and everyone began to whisper about the origin of the cold abyss.
The man in Chinese clothes sitting next to the old man couldn't help but smile and said, "Jiuque remembers that this cold abyss is from the hand of Gu Yue's Nanfengzi. ”
The old man nodded, and said with a slight sigh, "This sword was originally one of the Gu Yue Sword Pool, but since Gu Yue was destroyed by the Chu State, the Gu Yue Sword Pool has also become fragmented, and many rare and famous swords have been left out of nowhere. ”
The man in the Chinese costume also sighed, "In the past, the Guyue Sword Pool was full of talents, three thousand grandmasters, and it was unstoppable, but it is a pity that although the current Sword Pool is still the first sword land in the world, it is still far from the past. Jiuque remembered that the general had traveled to the Sword Pond a few years ago, but he didn't know what the situation of the Sword Pond was today? ”
The old man looked at the man in Chinese clothes and said lightly, "Although it is far from what it used to be, there are still a few good seedlings, but although the current sword pool is in Chu, none of the disciples are Chu." ”
The man in the fancy dress smiled slightly, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
……
One after another the children of the Bai family walked up to the center of the hall, and one by one they stepped aside, and until now, no one except Bai Yan had asked the old man on the main seat to speak.
Until a tall and dark man slowly walked to the center of the hall with a brocade box in both hands, and then slowly knelt down towards the old man, and said in a low voice:
"The descendants of Bai Yue present the September tea and tea foam."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and even the old man couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the swarthy man.
September tea tea foam? The crowd's expressions became strange.
You must know that what Your Majesty just sent is the missing moon tea, although at the same time, the September tea is humble and orderly, and the value of the missing moon tea sent by the swarthy man cannot be higher than that of Your Majesty, but what does it mean to just send a tea foam? Today is a birthday feast, so it's easy to give away such a chicken rib thing?
Bai Yue directly ignored the strange gazes of others, and continued, "Bai Yue originally wanted to send the complete September tea to his grandfather, but not long ago I met a friend, and the acquaintance was very lucky, so Bai Yue turned the September tea into tea and drank it with his friends, and there was some tea foam left. ”
Bai Yue quietly opened the brocade box, and some black particles immediately appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood when they heard it, it was really tea foam, and dare to love the tea foam you sent or drink the leftovers?
Such a reckless and bold person, everyone has sympathetic eyes on him.
dared to give such a birthday gift at the birthday banquet of the great general Bai Qi, and everyone could almost imagine the fate of this swarthy man.
However, the swarthy man did not stop speaking, and continued to speak, "Bai Yue originally wanted to find other rare things to give to his grandfather, but his friend asked Bai Yue to send this tea foam, although he didn't know what it meant, but Bai Yue still resolutely obeyed his friend's wishes, this tea foam was given by Bai Yue, whether grandpa liked it or not, Bai Yue was willing to be punished." ”
After speaking, the swarthy man's forehead slammed on the ground, his hands interlaced, and he said no more.
Everyone looked at the swarthy man and was speechless, and a word from a friend could ignore his future, and he didn't know whether to say that he had no brains or that he should say that he was too righteous.
But the old man on the main seat did not speak, and the people did not dare to speak easily.
However, a slightly sharper voice broke the silence of the hall.
"Your Majesty, this tea foam seems to be a little unusual."
