Chapter 5 Unexpected Discoveries (3)
At this time, Luo Wei said with a smile: "Your Highness has first come here, and the officials have prepared some small gifts, and please ask Your Highness to smile." ”
"Oh, then I'm going to see what kind of thin gift it is?" Fang Ling smiled slightly, not the slightest bit angry because of the other party's stammering.
Luo Wei suddenly laughed, called outside, and saw two entourages walking in with a wooden box in their hands, and when they came to the hall, they presented the things to Meng Zhiyuan who was nearby.
Meng Zhiyuan sent two wooden boxes up, and Fang Ling directly opened one of them, only to see that there was a layer of red satin inside, and a jade lion was placed on the satin.
This jade lion is made of high-quality mutton fat white jade as the material, the jade quality is warm and smooth, the carving is quite a master's style, it is first painted with a rough knife to the outline, and then carved with a jade knife in the details, so this jade lion has both rough wind, and delicate beauty, and the value is naturally expensive.
Seeing Fang Ling bowing slightly, as if he had a taste of appreciation, Luo Zhi and Yu Zhengqi glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
Fang Ling opened another wooden box, and inside was a night pearl, which was round like a pearl, white in color and revealing a millimeter of fluorescence, which was also a rare thing.
Where had Huang Jian and Meng Zhiyuan seen such a valuable thing, and they were amazed on the side.
Fang Ling put away the two wooden boxes, and pretended to appreciate it: "The two adults have really governed the county abundantly and richly, and this small gift has opened the eyes of this king." ”
Luo Zhi and the others hurriedly replied: "That's all the emperor's grace. ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly: "Wait a while, this king still has something to do, and the two adults are busy with official business if they want to come, so there will be no two left." ”
Luo Zhi and the others hurriedly said: "Then the lower officials will not bother, and welcome His Royal Highness in the county another day." ”
After the two of them left, Fang Ling smiled at Meng Zhiyuan and asked, "Brother Meng, why do you say these two adults gave me these two generous gifts?"
"This ...... The grass people did not dare to speculate. Meng Zhiyuan hurriedly replied.
Chen Mou smiled and said, "Little Brother Meng, don't you still understand Your Highness's intentions? Sooner or later, you will become Your Highness's right-hand man, what if you can't even answer this question? Since Your Highness asks, just answer whatever you think." ”
Meng Zhiyuan replied: "In my opinion, there are nothing more than two possibilities, one is that these two people don't do anything good on weekdays, and they are afraid that His Royal Highness will come to the county and punish them after knowing about their evil deeds, so the two will give generous gifts. ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly: "What about the second possibility?"
Meng Zhiyuan said: "The second is that these two people know the way to meet each other, and if they want to meet His Royal Highness, they can't give gifts too shabby, so they spent a lot of money to get these two gifts." ”
"If these two speculations are true as Brother Meng said, then it would be good. Fang Ling said lightly.
Meng Zhiyuan said confusedly: "What does Your Highness mean, is there any other possibility?"
Fang Ling said: "On the surface, these two possibilities are reasonable and correct, but Brother Meng doesn't know if you have ever thought that these two possibilities are based on the assumption that this king is a greedy person, if this king is an honest and honest person, do you think you will ask for their heads when you get angry?"
