Chapter 12: A Special Greeting Gift

Looking at the "snake" that is as thick as a baby's little finger on the lid of the box, and is unusually transparent? Xiao Huang really didn't know how to describe what he saw.

It was called a snake because it was coiled around like a snake, and it had two black eyes the size of grains of sand on its head.

It is said that it is not a snake, because such a young reptile would not have such an unnatural length at all!

She visually measured the circular radius and the number of layers coiled by the "snake" on the lid of the box, and roughly calculated the range of its circumference, Xiao Huang was instantly surprised, because this thing was straightened to a length of about two meters.

Not only that, its body is no less thorough than Shijing, and the human eye can see the pattern on the lid of the box under it through its shape.

No spine, no internal organs, no flesh...... It was like a bubble filled with air, and if it weren't for the fact that its two eyes were dripping, I'm afraid she wouldn't think it was a living thing.

Although it still looks a little stupid and cute on the surface, Xiao Huang stared at it, but there was a chill in his heart.

Such a thing, why does Sima Yi say things that can be seen and invisible? Even though its body color is colorless and close to transparent, its two eyes are still black, right?

And also...... How did they just react?

"Daddy, can you see what the third uncle said?"

Jimo Liyun didn't know what Xiao Huang meant, but he still told her seriously, "I haven't seen it, but ......"

"But Daddy knows what the third uncle said, right?"

"Hmm." Jimo Liyun nodded solemnly, he was sure that Yi would not hurt Xiao Er, but he didn't know what his third brother's intentions were.

"What about my mother?" Xiao Huang looked at Lian Huaying again.

"I can't see it for my mother."

"Xiaoxiang, what's on the box?"

Although he was confused, the latter's eyes widened, and he approached the box and looked carefully, "Miss, there is nothing here." ”

After seeing too much shaking his head, Xiao Huang turned to Chai Zige without expectation, "Uncle can't see it either, right?" ”

Sure enough, the next second, she "got what she wanted" and saw a nodding head.

Wonder, why can't they see it? Could it be that she and Sima Yi's eyesight is beyond ordinary people? The answer is clearly not.

I'm afraid that the source of the problem still comes from this "little snake", but the third uncle would actually take out such a strange thing as a gift, isn't he afraid that she can't control it as a boudoir woman?

Something that can make Uncle Smiling Tiger put down his camouflage for a moment, Xiao Huang doesn't think it's a good stubble.

Such a dangerous thing may really come in handy at a critical moment, but what if she can't wait for that moment, she will be eaten by it?

Before she has absolute strength, it would be better for her to stay away from that situation.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Huang had already walked in front of the person in a purple brocade dress, she raised the box and said, "Third Uncle should take this thing back, Xiao Er is afraid of nightmares at night." ”

"Alas, since that's the case, then it's ......" Before the words fell, Sima Yi's handsome face immediately became excited, "Little niece, what did you just say?!" You mean, you can see it, right? ”

"Xiao Er never said that she couldn't see it." Xiao Huang paused for a moment, and then continued: "But even if you can see it, this can only be the third uncle's thing, and Xiao Er can't accept it." ”

"The little niece doesn't look down on the third uncle's gift?"

"Nope." She shook her head and said sincerely: "The third uncle's gift is the best, but the third uncle thinks that what you give to Xiao'er, or what Xiao'er wants you to give, between the two, who is more important to Xiao'er?" ”

"Uh......" Sima Yi suddenly heard such words like tongue twisters, and when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but be speechless.

"Xiao Er doesn't understand what the situation is outside, but he also knows the priority of things, the third uncle is worried that Xiao Er can't protect herself, and she may add trouble to her father and mother in this Kyoto, and the third uncle's thoughtfulness makes Xiao Er very grateful."

Although for the sake of the general's and his wife's face, Xiao Huang paid great attention to the wording, and did not say directly, "Sima Yi, you are afraid that I will be the burden of becoming my father's mother, so to speak, what do I have to do with you?" Are you too much to control?"

But the sentence "trouble for my father" is also a bit heart-wrenching.

No, as she wished, although the smile on Sima Yi's face was still there, the nerves at the corners of his mouth twitched obviously.

"Xiao'er, don't ......"

"Hey, listen to what the kid has to say." Chai Zige waved his hand, blocking Jimo Liyun's sternness.

Here, Xiao Huang pretended not to hear about the interaction between Jimo Liyun and Chai Zige, "If the third uncle wants to wrap a mud house with 'gold, silver and jewelry'." ”

"Then Xiao Er believes that this mud house will be crushed by these 'gold, silver and jewelry' before the storm comes."

"After all, pulling out seedlings to help them grow is not as powerful as being deep-rooted, not to mention, Xiao Er is not such a mud house."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Sima Yi looked at Xiao Huang, the last trace of smile on his face gradually faded, but the ink under his eyes became darker and darker.

With that kind of look, Chai Zige remembers, it was Sima Yi who met by chance when he was a teenager...... The gaze that is revealed.

After speaking, Xiao Huang put the thing on the table along with the box, she believed that Sima Yi was a smart person and would understand what she meant.

In fact, when he took out the "little snake", Xiao Huang was a little stunned at first, but when she saw Chai Zige, she hadn't had time to change out of the official uniform......

Thinking of tomorrow night's Chinese New Year's Eve, although Chinese New Year's Eve is nothing, but a lively occasion, indicating that the new year is coming, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most festive day at the end of the year.

Strangely, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is also to wash the dust of the Xiaoyong general who has been stationed on the border for ten years, and the emperor originally set up a banquet to wash the dust for the returning generals, which has been a very normal thing since ancient times.

If there are no special circumstances, officials above the third rank of the dynasty must bring their own wives and crowned but unmarried, or their descendants who have been married but have not left the cabinet, or their descendants to attend, which can be regarded as an invisible blind date banquet in those aristocratic circles.

But the abnormal thing is that this time the wind and dust washing banquet was not held in the days after Jimo Liyun returned to the dynasty, but used Chinese New Year's Eve to make a fuss, which had to make people vigilant.

Xiao Huang had heard of the twists and turns, and immediately thought about it, and she also understood Sima Yi's intentions.

Regarding the "talisman" he sent, Chai Zige's expression just changed, but he didn't stop it like the general's father, so today's gift, presumably he and Sima Yi had already discussed it in private.

It's just that Chai Zige didn't know what his third brother was going to send, so he had that reaction at the beginning.

That being the case, then the meeting gift he gave should also be something used for protection...... In the final analysis, the source of Chai Zige and Sima Yi's trip still has to be attributed to Emperor Xia Yu.

In order to show his so-called imperial grace, General Xiao Yong's beloved daughter was allowed to enter the palace to face the saint, so even Xiao Huang, who had half a year to come, had to join the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

Let's ask, how can a person in a position of power who wanders between the world's regimes take care of the daughter of an inconspicuous subordinate?

Therefore, as a brotherly existence of Jimo Liyun, if Chai Zige and the two ignore Xiao Huang, it is not normal.

Although the general couple also has a son, Mo Haoxuan now lives in the bachelor's mansion and is not yet the year of the weak crown, so he will not appear at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

Xiao Huang knew that no matter when and where, what could make her father and mother mess up was not for their children, so what she said just now was also what she said to the general and his wife.

She wants them to understand that Xiao Huang is no longer the playful child she used to be, and she has her own independent thinking and subjective judgment.

However, she didn't know whether it was a comfort or a disguised cruelty to remind them of their parents in this way......

After the hour of a cup of tea, Xiao Huang felt that it was time to clean up the mess she had just left, so she immediately made two cups of hot tea and walked in front of Chai Zige and Sima Yi, she handed a cup to the two of them in one hand, and then bowed to Sima Yi in a decent manner.

"The third uncle's care, Xiao Er remembers it in his heart, if Xiao Er has something offended, he will make amends with tea, I don't know what the third uncle thinks?"

Originally, Sima Yi was also waiting for a step, but the woman in front of him was so "apologizing" that he didn't expect, "Haha, as long as the little niece doesn't come to smash the third uncle's field." ”

"And this gift?" Xiao Huang brought the box on the table.

Seeing this, Sima Yi happily took back the things on the lid of the box, "If you don't give it out, it's not a gift, and the third uncle will make it up at a later date." ”

"Then Xiao Er remembers." Xiao Huang bowed, then turned around and called Xiao Xiang and asked her to take the box and keep it.

"Alas...... The little niece is really eccentric, and she only accepts gifts from her eldest brother. ”

Xiao Huang slowly turned around and said, "Uncle Xiao Er has to accept the gift, otherwise, if you miss this village, there will be no store." ”

As the words fell, the air flowing in the room condensed for a second, followed by laughter.

Only Chai Zige's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Xiao Huang quietly, and secretly thought to himself: Observe words and looks, treat people and things, and handle things just right, and calm and calm, advance and retreat in a certain way...... I can do this at a young age, but it's a pity that I was born as a daughter.

Chai Zige sighed lightly, otherwise he would be an extremely outstanding politician if he became an official in the court.
