Chapter 22: Treasure Appreciation
This shout was terrible, and the eyes of men, women, and children all converged in one place.
Xie Xuan personally led Xiao Duo and Jiang Zhan in, his red face full of pride and respect. Originally, he was already very overjoyed when Jiang Guoshi came, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness King Qi to come.
Xiao Duo is wearing an embroidered nine-python robe today, which is very majestic, in comparison, Jiang Zhan, who is dressed in green clothes next to him, is much more low-key, but he will never lose the sense of holiness that does not eat the fireworks in the world.
The banquet was quiet for a moment, and then came back to his senses, all of them showed envy to Xie Xuan.
"How could this national teacher come with the King of Qi? Isn't the national teacher like coming to a leaf without touching himself? ”
"Do you know that the national teacher has been practicing Buddhism at the border before he was enthroned, and he has known King Qi since he was a child."
"I see."
In the whispers, bold people began to come forward one after another to talk.
Jiang Zhan was not interested in this, and his attitude was indifferent to the past, and anyone who came close could only stick a cold butt, so everyone surrounded Xiao Duo one after another.
Xiao Duo glanced at Jiang Zhan, who was leisurely and quiet on the side, and his heart was itching with hatred, if he hadn't returned to this capital, he would be bored, and he wanted to see why he agreed to come to such an occasion, so he disdained to come here.
"It's His Royal Highness the King of Qi, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, it's so mighty......" There was a suppressed secret cry from the woman's side.
"What's wrong with His Royal Highness King Qi, where is the Murong Shizi handsome."
"I still think that the national teacher is good, always so cold and holy, handsome and beautiful."
"Good is good, but no matter how good you are, you are still a monk, and you can't marry a wife, what's the use?"
“……”
These words were heart-wrenching, and for a while, those women who were still looking at Jiang Guoshi with admiration were suddenly deflated, and they all had a look of pain and regret.
Xie Sijiao listened to the discussion of the crowd, and also set her eyes on the gathering place of the crowd, the mighty man was surrounded by the stars and moons of the crowd, and his smile was free and wanton, it was really difficult to associate with the rumored fierce and murderous person.
Looking at it, Xie Sijiao was a little distracted, until Xie Sihua appeared with the old lady in her arms, and everyone dispersed one after another and returned to their seats.
The old lady and Xie Xuan each said a few words of greeting, and the guests also congratulated them on their birthdays, a scene of joy for the guests and hosts.
"Jiang Zhan, what about the little beast?" Xiao Duo, who was finally able to catch his breath for a while, stretched his neck and looked at the woman, causing a lot of head scratching, but he didn't see Xie Sihua's figure.
Little beasts?
Jiang Zhan was obviously a little dissatisfied with his title, and his eyes stared at Xie Sihua, who was wearing a veil beside the old lady, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.
Isn't it useless for her to give her snow cream?
"Old grandmother, I heard that you got a baby today, can you let me and my dad also take a look, you know that my dad loves jade the most." Ma Shuyun suddenly shouted, the smile on her face was sweet and full of curiosity.
There is a way that people appreciate jade, jade reflects people, and people who really understand jade will also have a temperament like jade that contains but does not leak, thick and warm. Ma Shuyun's father, Ma Jingting, is just such a person.
When he heard his daughter's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh? If it's really a baby, I don't know if I can open my eyes? ”
Xie Sihua looked at Ma Shuyun, and when he saw Xie Siqi sitting next to her, he understood everything in his heart, the corners of his lips under the veil were slightly raised, and he only smiled secretly in his heart: stupid man.
The old lady looked back at Xie Sihua, with a slight hesitation in her expression.
Xie Sihua smiled gently, and said softly to Mama Chang: "Mama likes Panyu's reputation for being outside, so Mama can go and fetch it for Mama to see." ”
Mama Chang answered.
Ma Shuyun touched Xie Siqi beside her with her elbow, and said with a light smile: "Wait and see, my father is a fiery eye, and he can see the fake at a glance." ”
Xie Siqi stared at Xie Sihua on the stage fixedly, and the burning hatred couldn't be hidden at the moment. She just wants Xie Sihua to make a fool of herself, to ruin her reputation, and to make her worse than dead.
After a while, Mama Chang took the string of prayer beads, and a servant set up a table and placed the prayer beads on the stage.
"It's not a treasure, it's a string of white jade Buddha beads, it's rare that the jade color is extremely pure, the size is uniform, and the scriptures are engraved on it, and a string is exactly a "Diamond Sutra"."
The old lady said with a smile, she is not a person who likes to show off, but now that these people are picking on things, if she doesn't show it to everyone, it will make people say that the things sent by Hua'er are fake.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the white jade is already precious, and it is even more rare that the jade color is extremely pure, and the scriptures are engraved on the small Buddha beads......
"This is not ......" Xiao Duo looked at the treasure in the sandalwood box on the stage in surprise, and turned his eyes to Jiang Zhan beside him in disbelief, but saw that it was reaching out to pick up the tea cup in front of him with a normal expression, and pecked it shallowly.
Ma Jingting just catered to his daughter's words, and was not very interested, after all, he liked the reputation of Panyu, and the good things he had seen over the years naturally increased, and now listening to the old lady's words, he was really interested, and immediately got up, walked two steps and remembered something, turned to Jiang Guoshi on the side and said: "Since it is a Buddha bead, why don't you take a look with me?" ”
"Okay." Jiang Zhan's expression was cold, but a gentle word "good" blurted out.
Ma Jingting smiled and invited him to come on stage together. Just now, he was still worried that Jiang Zhan would refuse.
Approaching, Ma Jingting's eyes widened even more, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, pinched a few grains and rubbed them in his palm, the jade was really extremely pure, almost the same, moist and cool, although the scriptures on it were extremely small, but the pen was tortuous and clear......
"Good thing, really a good thing." Ma Jingting couldn't help but admire. It took a while to come back to his senses and hand it to Jiang Zhan on the side, but Jiang Zhan didn't pick it up, only glanced down.
Seeing such a treasure, Ma Jingting was overjoyed, and he didn't care about Jiang Zhan's coldness, so he just put it in his palm and couldn't put it down.
Everyone is not proficient in jade, but seeing that Ma Shangshu is so amazed and cherished, it must be an extremely rare object.
Xie Siqi saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said to Ma Shuyun: "What's the matter with your father?" Xie Sihua's slut can't give such a treasure. ”
Ma Shuyun was also a little anxious, and she couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so she couldn't help but say: "Such a baby, did the old grandmother find it?" ”
This is what everyone wants to ask, but I think about it and know that I am afraid that it is today's congratulatory gift, so I endured it and didn't ask which noble person gave it.
"It was given to the fourth granddaughter of my house." The old lady was still a little worried, but now that she heard Ma Jingting say this, she was immediately relieved, and looked at Xie Sihua with a smile.
"I don't know who the fourth girl is?"
Ma Jingting and everyone looked at the female dependents curiously, everyone knew that Xie Xuan's three daughters, these four girls were the most beautiful, but because they were concubines, they rarely appeared.
"Sihua has met your lords." Xie Sihua stepped forward and saluted.
Only then did everyone turn their attention to the veiled girl beside the old lady, at first they only thought that she was the right-hand girl next to the old lady, but it turned out to be the fourth girl Xie Si.
"Sihua Sihua, a string and a pillar Sihua Nian, a good name." Ma Jingting nodded approvingly, but his eyes were still a little inquisitive and wanted to see the face behind the veil.
"The fourth girl is a concubine, right? There is such a skill, it seems that Xie Fu is really good. ”
At this time, the county lord of Qingping, who had been watching coldly from the audience, suddenly opened his mouth, staring at Xie Sihua with a trace of contempt, she was the most important concubine, although she didn't like Xie Siqi, but this Xie Sihua was obviously more out of the limelight than her daughter-in-law today.
