Chapter 182: Gift-giving

Courtesy is still exchanged, going but not coming, it is not polite, coming and not coming, it is not polite. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Anywhere at any time, things like gift-giving are relatively common.

Even a birthday banquet is no exception.

In the previous life of Ning, the person who gave the gift would often humbly "hold" the gift to visit his friends, and when the happy event was moved to the birthday and funeral, a long table was posted at the door, and the person who came to the gift carried the gift, and put down the gift money to the host's relatives and guests, and entered the house. Even, in ancient times, people would read out the things above the gifts, so that many powerful people would show their generosity on this link.

To put it simply, it's actually a pretending to be a gift!

And this world is naturally vulgar, but some links are often delayed......

The gift-giving session can only start when the guests and hosts arrive.

And the master is often the last. In the past, it was difficult to see visiting relatives and friends, only the steward and subordinates in the house were entertained.

This kind of custom, in this Xingyao Empire, is more scrupulously adhered to in the court.

After all, such a move can not only prevent relatives and guests from receiving gifts to a certain extent, but also more effectively see the sincerity of the visitor......

With the old-fashioned style of Qi Taishi, it is naturally the same as all families.

However, this kind of custom, in Ning Buying's opinion, is extremely cruel......

When people give gifts in person, it often tests the mind and financial resources of the visitor, although it is a link that countless people are happy to do, but the parties will be more painful when they give their treasures.

For example, the bad old man of his own house.

When this old man Qi appeared, almost all the people in the audience looked at him, and even the few people who were originally seated at the front couldn't put on a score, and they all stood up.

With a group of relatives and acquaintances slowly to the front of the hall, the old man Qi, who was full of red light, arched his hand and smiled sincerely: "Thank you for taking the time to come and see my old man who will live for a short time in your busy schedule, thanks to the deep friendship of all friends, tireless work and long distance, come to congratulate, thank you here!"

Everyone hurriedly praised that it was not hard.

"Hehe, Teacher Qi is old and strong, and he can live for at least thirty or fifty years, it's unlucky to say such things!"

Ning Buying glanced at it, and the person who spoke was in the same place as the second prince Dugu Jiran, and looking at the side of the two princes, there were at least sixty percent of the young people who were similar to the faces of the two princes.

His face was more rigid than the lines of the second prince, and a small amount of sweat was faintly visible on his chin.

Dressed in platinum clothes, with an extremely upright figure, extremely elegant and handsome.

His person is the great prince of the current dynasty of the Xingyao Empire, the current prince of the empire, Dugu Haoran.

"This teacher's call is good!" Ning couldn't help but say.

As soon as the eldest prince spoke, everyone stopped what they were saying and listened quietly.

Now in front of the hall, in the only circle, their identity is the most noble on the surface, and this big prince must be a congratulatory gift.

Sure enough, the thought in Ning Buful's heart flashed, and the eldest prince in that scene took out a scroll from the space ring, and slowly unfolded it: "Teacher, today is your birthday, and the little nephew specially found the calligraphy and painting of Mr. Qiu Linrong's 'Thousand Cranes Contending' for you, I hope the teacher will like it......"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked.

This Qiu Linrong is the "painting saint" that God has given the mainland for hundreds of years, and even Ning has heard of it......

His paintings, now in the continent of God's gift, are all priceless treasures, but also have a lot of famous imitations, even the "thousand cranes contending" picture, Ning lived up to when he just came in, he had seen the rubbing version, but he didn't expect this original authentic handiwork, it was in the hands of the prince.

"This ......"

For a while, even the old man's eyes straightened.

The Star Empire, unlike the Dragon Empire, is a country that attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, and in the empire, not only the martial artists can stand out, but even the literati can be appreciated......

As the honorary teacher of the current emperor and the crown princes, no one knows the ancient rhyme of the Taishi of Qi, that is, the calligraphy and painting of the Taishi himself, which are well-known throughout the empire.

And Qi Taishi himself is good at calligraphy and painting, everyone knows it, just by the row of calligraphy and paintings in the front hall, you can tell that the eldest prince Dugu Haoran gave such a gift, but it was really sent to his heart.

"The old man thanked the eldest prince!"

"A thousand cranes contend", more than a zhang long, with the eldest prince alone, can not be expanded, but, with the Qi Taishi's attainments in this, just look at the corner of the picture scroll, you know that the picture scroll is absolutely true, immediately bowed slightly, sincere authentic.

The people behind him also greeted in unison, and even Liu Xinyue, who was staring at Ning with her eyes wide open, had to turn her gaze away.

Without speaking, the housekeeper He Jinglun stepped forward to take it.

"Hehe, old lady, you saw my eldest brother's ceremony, come and see me, you must like this thing. ”

As he spoke, the second prince, Dugu Jiran, took out an object from the space ring, which was a white jade box.

Gently opened, a faint golden light diffused out, shining brightly.

In the corner, Ning Bubu almost laughed.

With Ning's super eyesight, this thing is not well seen.

Since the second prince Dugu sent something, it was actually the same five-qi exquisite ginseng that his old man was going to give away two days ago!

And this one, the golden color is very rare, and it is obviously just entering the stage of growing into the five forks.

However, the envy in the eyes of everyone in the audience is not as light as Ning Wei's eyes are playful and light......

Old Man Qi thanked him sincerely, which made the second prince Dugu Jiran smile very happily.

"Teacher Qi, the royal sister also asked me to bring you a gift. The eldest prince Dugu Haoran said again.

"These two, huh!" someone in the audience chuckled.

No matter what others think in their hearts, today is the day of Taishi Qi's great birthday, and in the eyes of Old Man Qi, there is only joy.

At the beginning, such a valuable gift was sent, and whoever was stunned would not be able to close their mouths.

"Is it Yanran? That little girl, she still remembers the old man...... It's rare!" In the field, Old Man Qi stroked his long beard and sighed.

Whether it is Dugu Haoran or Dugu Jiran, they are all uninvited, and their hearts are clear.

Only this lonely Yanran, but he also asked the eldest prince to give a gift earlier, and the old man was really relieved.

Everyone was also beside them, constantly praising Old Man Qi's achievements over the years......

And the gift she gave was not light, but a small silver pill with a slight gray color......

Barrier Breaker!

Break through a small realm and be weak for three days!

In the middle of the field, Old Man Qi smiled with satisfaction. said to herself, "Good girl!", but that gaze was at his grandson, Qi Feifan......

When others give gifts, they are all given to him, but this Dugu Yanran is good to give such a big gift to his grandson......

Glancing at the two princes in front of him, he saw that there was a trace of panic in the eyes of the two princes Dugu Jiran, but the eldest prince was full of ambition and regarded the gift given by Dugu Yanran as if it was given by him, Qi Tianzong couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart.

Little elf, you are really going to embarrass the old man......
