"You mean, you came here to choose a birthday gift for Old Madam Ye?" Matteo Ricci looked at her.

"Yes," Jiang Shu nodded, "Eight days later, my grandmother's sixty-sixth birthday will be celebrated, and I have been busy with the birthday ceremony for a few days, but I have not found a suitable one." I went out today and met the prince, so I followed him to Mr. Li's place to see if there were any rare things. ”

"I see," Matteo Ricci said after a moment of silence, "I have one more thing here, maybe Old Madam Ye will like it." ”

As he spoke, he walked slowly to the innermost chestbed of yellow rosewood drawers, opened the middle drawer, and took out a strip of wooden box with dark red lacquer.

"What is this?" When he came back with the wooden box and handed it to him with a smile, Jiang Shu asked suspiciously.

"Take a look and you'll know." Matteo Ricci smiled faintly and handed the box a few more points closer to her.

Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment, raised his hand to take it, and gently opened the lid, only to see that inside was a barrel-shaped object about a foot long and a wine glass with a thick mouth.

She took it out, flipped it and twisted it, looked at it, and her eyes couldn't help but light up: "Kaleidoscope——! ”

"You know?" Matteo Ricci was a little surprised.

"Uh......" As soon as he asked, Jiang Shu thought that as a real Ming Dynasty person, he shouldn't know that there was such a thing in this world, and hurriedly excused himself, "I've heard people mention it, guess it should be." ”

For the sake of his own net worth and life, he must not let anyone know about his future affairs.

"I see." Matteo Ricci didn't think much about it, and said with a light smile, "Xiao Jiangshu, you can give this to Old Madam Ye as a birthday gift." ”

"Is the gentleman really willing to sell it to me?" Jiang Shu thought for a while and asked.

"No," corrected Matteo Ricci, "it's for you." ”

"How can this work," Jiang Shu immediately waved his hand, "Mr. has traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to bring it over, how can I ask for it in vain?" ”

Although this thing is nothing in her opinion, it is very rare in this era, and if it is taken out and sold, it must be worth a lot of silver taels.

"It's not for nothing," Matteo Ricci said, "Lord Ling Zun has been kind to me, and it is only fitting that this thing should be used as a birthday gift for Old Madam Ye." ”

"Mr. said so, then you can accept it," Zhu Changxun was not polite at all, took the kaleidoscope from Jiang Shu's hand, put it back in the box, and put it in her palm and said, "If you refuse, it will be disrespectful." ”

"That'...... Thank you, Mr. Leigh. Jiang Shu glanced at him lightly and raised his hand to Matteo Ricci gratefully.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Matteo Ricci shook his head quickly.

"Okay, it's not too early, Mr. still has to go to the lobby to preach, this birthday gift is already here, this king and Jiang Shu won't bother." The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and Zhu Changxun has no intention of staying in this south hall for a long time, so he raised his hand towards Matteo Ricci and gently said goodbye.

"Okay, okay," Matteo Ricci nodded at him and shifted his gaze to Jiang Shu again, "I'll visit Lord Lingzun when I have time another day." ”

"Well, Jiang Shu must tell his father, and wait for Mr. at any time, Jiang Shu will leave now." Jiang Shu smiled lightly and raised his hand to him again, turning his head to look at Zhu Changxun beside him, "Lord Wang, let's go." ”
