It's finally done! Hua Houwei was satisfied. So the sycophants who immediately didn't want money rolled in: "Dad! Wise! Wenzhi martial arts far into the Emperor Chenghua. My son's admiration for you is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control..."

Hongzhi was intoxicated with satisfaction in Hua Hou Wei's sycophancy, and after Hua Hou Wei's dry mouth stopped, he glared: "Ah? That's it? Nothing? Wei'er, I haven't seen you in this knowledge for a year, but you haven't made any progress? ”

Huahou Wei was angry, stretched his face and did not speak. It made a few people laugh! Wang Zhi walked in with a hunched waist, and handed Hua Houwei the jade with a smile. Hua Houwei found a counterattack point: "Dad, my son's knowledge is not very good, but this luck is still good!" See? Imperial Green! Full color ring face, this fluorescence, this transparency, tsk, the top goodies! ”

Hongzhi glared: "Don't sell dog skin plasters there, Jiang Brown, come, carry me to see the stones!" I don't believe it, isn't it just a few broken stones? I am the true son of the dragon, the treasure has a spirit, and it will be the best! ”

Taikang clenched his fists and shouted: "Daddy is mighty! ”

Depend on! Why did Taikang also learn this trick? The apprentices of the church starved to death of the master, and it seems that the sycophants are a high-level method!

Zhu Houzhao laughed and threw himself into the pile of stones, specifically looking for the big one! This guy has learned martial arts, and his strength has grown, and he is holding a stone back and forth by the gas lamp.

Empress Dowager Zhou covered her face and sighed: "Zhao'er, you are also stupid!" How tiring is it to hug stones? You won't look for stones with a gas lamp? Are there a few gas lamps missing in the palace? ”

Zhu Houzhao was on the spot, and put down the stone in a sneering manner: "Hehe, I just don't delay in treasure hunting and practice, well, that's it!" ”

Hahaha, everyone laughed together. Empress Dowager Zhou shouted: "Su Mei, come to support the mourning family, Lamei holds the lamp, and the mourning family also wants to make the best!" ”

The brothers looked at each other and smiled, and finally livened up the atmosphere! Taikang and Empress Zhang joined forces, and the two rushed into the pile of stones and looked at the stones carefully.

This batch of stones has been carefully selected by Hua Houwei, and they are basically all superb. At this time, the jadeite is completely undeveloped, and the various fields have not yet been developed. The best stones are everywhere, what sky blue, purple eyes, chanterelle yellow, imperial green, blood fei, yellow and green, Fu Lu Shou, four joys, Mo Cui... That's everything! For the New Year, begging for a mouthpiece, of course, are the best!

After a while, everyone picked out their favorite stones. There were still a lot of stones in the pile, and Hua Houwei said to Xiao Jing with a smile: "Father-in-law Xiao, let everyone be happy, the eunuchs and palace maids present, one by one!" ”

Depend on! And this kind of good thing? The eyes of several eunuchs and palace maids focused on Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing looked at Hongzhi, Hongzhi nodded slightly, and then bowed to Huahou Wei: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." ”

Huahou shook his head grinningly: "They are all people, you serve your ancestors, your parents, and you have no merit and hard work, what is this thing?" Hurry up and go. ”

Xiao Jing nodded gratefully, waved his hand, and the eunuchs and palace maids rushed into the stone pile one after another. Xiao Jing doesn't care about any treasures, what kind of treasures has he never seen? Private money is not a small amount! He was grateful to Hua Houwei for respecting them very much, and he really regarded them as human beings, rather than respecting them on the surface, but he was high in his heart.

Outside, the grinders and stone cutters kept ringing, and pieces of jade were stripped of their coats, showing a beautiful and magnificent appearance. Taikang shouted, holding two pieces of superb colorless glass jadeite and not letting go.

"Taikang, that kind of colorless, worthless. Swap two! Hua Houwei smiled and teased his sister.

Taikang shook his head: "No!" Pots and pans, this is as beautiful as sugar! ”

Huahou smiled greatly, took out a big lollipop from his pocket, and handed it to Taikang: "Sister, this is called sugar!" Come on, taste it! ”

I've never seen it! Is this also sugar? Taikang put down the jadeite, took the lollipop, carefully stretched out his little tongue, and licked it gently. His eyes widened instantly, staring at Hua Houwei's pocket.

Hua Houwei smiled and touched the general horn of Taikang: "Yes!" And also! Too well, can't eat more. ”

Taikang suddenly shouted dissatisfiedly: "Why? Mother, look at the pot bullying me! ”

Hua Houwei smiled bitterly: "I eat too much sugar and have a toothache!" Toothache is not a disease, it hurts badly! Little girl, your face will be swollen when you have a toothache, aren't you afraid of becoming ugly? ”

Taikang shook his head suddenly, like a small fan. Empress Zhang pulled Taikang: "Your second brother is right, eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay." When the time comes, all the teeth will fall out, and you won't be able to eat anything delicious! ”

"I don't want it!" Taikang screamed, but asked cautiously: "Then will I get tooth decay if I eat less?" ”

Huahou Weiwei smiled: "Taikang, just brush your teeth with the toothbrush invented by your father after eating sugar!" ”

The family is happy, a bit like a folk New Year. The next day was already the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and Hua Houwei invited guests to Qingyun Pavilion, the most luxurious restaurant in the capital.

This kind of excitement is indispensable to Zhu Houzhao's figure, but his identity is not suitable for direct participation, so he has to hide opposite Qingyun Pavilion and wait for the highlight of the banquet to appear again.

"Haha, third brother, it's the first time we've seen each other, and we'll get closer in the future!" Hua Houwei smiled like a flower, beckoning the children of the various families who came in.

There are a lot of people who come, Chen Lian, the young marquis of the Hou family of Taining, Zheng Gang, the young marquis of the Hou family of Wu'an, Gu Shilong, the young marquis of the Hou family of Zhenyuan, Zhang Lu, the young marquis of the Hou family of Longping, and Guo Xun, the Hou of Wuding... All of them are the nobles who rose up in the Yongle period, as well as the nobles of Huaixi.

After everyone had almost arrived, Hua Houwei ordered the banquet to be held. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Hua Houwei made his eyes look at it, and Zhu Shanqing brought out a thing covered in red brocade.

"Brothers, look, this is a good thing that my brother got back from Burma." Huahou violently lifted the brocade, and a crystal clear statue of King Ming was beautiful under the candlelight.

Zhang Lun is Zhang Mao's eldest grandson, about the same age as Zhu Houzhao, and has always admired Huahou Wei, at this moment he stood up, walked to the statue of King Ming, and shouted in surprise: "Brothers, Lao Tzu is tempted, no one is allowed to rob Lao Tzu!" ”

Hua Houwei laughed and hugged Zhang Lun affectionately: "Brother, this thing is not cheap, do you really want it?" ”

Zhang Lun feigned anger: "Damn! Second Highness, what are you talking about? Although our family is not rich and rivals the country, how expensive can this thing be? Well, the statue of King Ming is good, put my grandfather in the study town, is there a Buddha and Bodhisattva or the like? Give it to my mother. ”

Hua Houwei waved his hand, and Zhu Shanqing walked over with a brocade box. Hua Houwei opened: "Brother, you have to pay for the statue of King Ming, this Guanyin Bodhisattva brother will give it to my aunt." ”
