Durin actually carried a lot of bits and pieces on his body, such as some trinkets and the like, such as the clasp of precious stones, which is very common. Although every tailor ensures that there will be no problems with the clothes they sew with the greatest reputation, sometimes there will be some small mistakes, such as when you are participating in an event, what if you suddenly find that you have one less button on your clothes?

Most of the nobles had an indescribable psychosis and were very sick. They don't think about what a gentleman or lady with status would do in a place where other people's eyes can't see them, they don't pay much attention to their private lives, including social issues such as moral situations, and they don't care about other people's lives without involving their own interests. But there is another situation, even if there is no entanglement of interests, they will be very concerned and concerned, that is, whether this gentleman or lady has done something detrimental to their dignity.

This inexplicable penchant for watching other people's jokes has sparked countless wars between nobles throughout history, perhaps simply because someone's clothes are missing a button, or someone's shoes have some dust on their shoes. Then they began to laugh and share their findings—lo and behold, it was ridiculous that the guy was missing a button on his clothes, and that he was a nobleman, and that he didn't pay as much attention to his appearance as mud dogs!

Then the war broke out.

It's all a bunch of neurotics!

Therefore, in order to avoid these problems to the greatest extent, aristocrats generally put one or two jewel buckles in the pockets or bags of clothes worn in formal social occasions, and these jewel buckles can play a big role when necessary.

But send the princess gem buckle...... As if it wasn't good, he fumbled in his pocket and pulled out another pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

If the princess was not a princess but a prince, a cigarette might be a good gift, and Durin would say that he would light the first fire of life for the prince, but it was a girl, a princess, and it would be rude for him to do so.

In the end, among wallets, coins, gem clasps, cigarettes, and lighters, Doolin chose lighters. It is a handmade sapphire mirror Langsheng lighter, the market price is ...... Wrong, this thing has no market price, it is completely custom-made, and it costs 1,300 yuan for Durin, although it is expensive, it is very comfortable to use.

He checked the lighter, stood in the corner, took a breath, wiped it with a napkin, and put it in his pocket satisfied.

When the birthday party comes to the gift-giving process, the guests start to offer gifts according to the different titles. Maggs, of course, was not allowed to come first, and he gave the princess a very beautiful handmade swan feather fountain pen. There is a foot long pure white swan feather lying in the red flannel box, the bright red flannel cloth sets off the white of the feather, the golden nib and a small signature on the wing of the pen make the best note of the origin of this swan feather fountain pen.

This is a product handmade by a master, the price is about 100 yuan, the practicality is not very good, as a gift is very qualified, and its original role is to be used for gifts.

"I'll give you this pen ......," Maggs put the gift box into the princess's hand, "in the hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can find her true self in the ocean of knowledge and discover all the secrets of this world." Knowledge is the ladder of human progress, which will make people more perfect, which is what I expect. ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess pretended to be very surprised and took the gift box from Maggs's hand, with a deeply touched expression, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, thank you very much for your gift, I like it very, very much, and I will definitely remember your advice,"

It was a very touching picture, but Durin didn't feel anything moving, and if someone gave him a pen on his most important day and told him to study hard, he wouldn't laugh so happily, it would be fake at first glance.

After waiting for more than thirty or forty people to deliver the gifts, Maggs gently touched Durin with his elbow and whispered, "It's your turn." ”

"I, am I not the last?", as soon as Durin finished speaking, he saw Maggs's expression and knew that he had said something stupid, and he didn't wait for Maggs to say anything, and walked towards Her Royal Highness the princess with his head held high. He is the person brought by Mags, and he is also the most talked about young man in the aristocratic circle now, he is not as good as the real nobles in front of him, almost all of them are marquis and earls, but he is still better than a viscount or a baron or something. Whether it was to save face for Mags or the opportunity he had won for himself, he was in line between the Count and the Viscount to offer his gifts.

He walked up to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the smell of milk came to his nose, and he was in a trance for a moment, then took his lighter out of his pocket and handed it over.

There was silence in the palace, and even Her Royal Highness looked at the lighter in Durin's hand with some inexplicability, and only took it after a pause of about a second or two. There were already some aristocrats around who began to talk in a low voice, they didn't care who you were, and the unscrupulousness of these people to watch similar jokes was more like a tradition. Perhaps the first fundamental reason for ridiculing other nobles many years ago was to serve politics, but today, the aristocracy's ridicule of the nobility has become a tradition out of nothing.

Maggs was looking forward to Doolin's next performance, he knew that Doolin had brought a book in, and he had seen Doolin sneak the book into the trash, and he wanted to see how Doolin could turn the situation around.

"It's ...... Lighters, right?", Her Royal Highness the Princess commented on the delicate little thing in her hand in an uncertain tone, and some nobles even laughed out loud.

Du Lin was very calm, there was no wavering in his eyes, he nodded lightly, smiled and said, "Yes, this is a lighter ......", his voice gradually became louder, and his eyes turned to the nobles who were laughing at him, and raised his eyebrows, revealing a subtle and provocative expression, "But it's not a lighter!" As soon as Du Lin reached out and took the lighter back from the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess, he flicked the cabin cover lightly, and the dinging sound had a special charm that spread for a long time, and slowly disappeared into people's ears, and those who were laughing at him and whispering also closed their mouths and looked at him.

He rubbed his thumb together, and a flame appeared on the lighter, he chuckled, and turned to look at Her Royal Highness the Princess, "This is a flame, Your Highness the Princess, it is a lighter, but it is not exactly a lighter." I am sure that you, and all the ladies and gentlemen here, have a wealth of knowledge and know that the development of mankind begins with the first spark of man-made fire, and it is the flame that ignites the dawn of mankind's long and brilliant civilization. ”

"I give you a lighter, I hope that you can have your own dawn when you become an adult, light up your future life with your own hands, and guide the maze of life full of temptations in the right direction. ”

No one around could laugh out loud under Doolin's words, although it was just a lighter, but as Doolin said, it was not exactly a lighter, Maggs shook his head with a smile, this little bastard's wit, expressiveness and infectious power were really terrifying, and his most powerful thing was his self-confidence. He was confident that he could solve all of these problems, and he must have spread that confidence to others, and perhaps that's why he always succeeded, because he made everyone believe in what he believed in.

Doolin continued, "The flame, which represents light and purity, is like you, without the slightest impurity. God has sent a divine fire to cleanse the world, and I, who send you this little flame today, hope that it will sweep away the darkness for you, cleanse you of evil, and protect your future life ......", he closed the canopy again, and then put the lighter into the palm of the princess's hand, and held her palm so that she could hold the lighter tightly, "If my good wishes are incomprehensible and ridiculed by those who are incomprehensible and ridiculed, I hope you will not care about the jealousy of those foolish people for wisdom, and the good belongs to you, Your Highness the Princess!"

"Yes...... Is it?", Her Royal Highness looked at the lighter she was holding inexplicably, the full touch of her palm and the residual temperature on the lighter gave her an inexplicable sense of security, she nodded vigorously, "This is the best gift I received today!"

Du Lin bowed slightly, "My honor, Your Highness!"

Then he took two steps back, turned to Mags, and stood beside Mags, and there was some applause around him, whether it was to cheer for Her Royal Highness the Princess, after all, she said that this was the best gift she had received today, or for the compliment that Durin had just flipped over, in short, if you had to choose some eye-catching characters tonight, then Durin would definitely be one of them.

"It's a wonderful performance, to be honest, I've been moved by what you said, is this what you thought of yourself?", Maggs found that Durin was always able to give him some novel performances, just like those words just now, using fire as a metaphor for civilization, and using fire to protect the mind of Her Royal Highness the Princess, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can come up with for a while. Maybe someone said something similar, but not everything was suitable for an occasion like today, and he gave Durin a score in his heart. If the perfect score was 100 points, he gave Durin 99 points, and 1 point less for his pride, because he was the one who could get 100 points.

Durin glanced at Maggs and laughed twice, "I don't know, when I was standing there, when I was facing my surroundings, I said what I wanted to say the most, the most sincere words. ”

If there is any reason, then it is the will of the gods, and of course you can also translate it as God's meaning. ”
