Chapter 16

The highest category is undoubtedly a person like Dai Shide. You can bring birthday gifts to the table. After the birthday boy appears, you can personally present the birthday gifts under everyone's gaze. The birthday boy will definitely be happy by then, and there will be a lot of praises at the table. Pushy.

Those whose birthday gifts were accepted by the steward had to wait until the birthday banquet was over before the steward put them into storage separately. Most of the birthday gifts of the people would not be seen by Wang Jinglun at all. Only a very few lucky guys, they gave The gift first touched the steward, and then the steward would tell Wang Jinglun specifically that if Wang Jinglun liked it, he might have a look at it himself.

As the sky gradually grew darker, the servants of the palace lit lanterns and hung them around the courtyard. The faint halo illuminated the entire courtyard extremely brightly.

At this moment, basically all the guests have arrived, and the three tables in the courtyard and one table in the hall are all full. Although the old birthday star has not yet appeared, his sons are all wearing clothes tied around their waists. Red ribbon, leading the steward to entertain the guests outside.

Not only in this courtyard, but in the other courtyards, there are more tables. Basically, there are seven or eight tables in one courtyard, and they are all people with lower official positions or distant relationships. A courtyard is specially prepared for the servants brought by those guests.

Lanterns were also placed in these courtyards, and thick candles were lit in some places. The bright light filled all parts of the palace, reflecting the lively and joyful faces of the guests.

Not long after, slender, handsome maids began to serve dishes to the tables in various courtyards like flowing water. Those maids lined up in a row of four or five. Although they looked busy, they were in an orderly manner. A group of colorful butterflies are dancing, which is very pleasing to the eye.

After all the dishes were served on each table, in the courtyard where Li Muyun and his son were sitting, a very dignified middle-aged steward of the palace appeared in front of the door leading to the inner room from the hall and shouted in a long voice : "The longevity king has arrived!"

So, regardless of whether it was the person at the table in the hall or the three tables in the yard, everyone followed this shout and stood up in unison, waiting for the birthday star Wang Jinglun to enter.

Wang Jinglun entered the arena with the support of two pretty little maids. Of course, Mr. Wang is only fifty this year, and his body is still very strong. He doesn't need others to support him at all. Letting the maids support him is just a gesture, a kind of pomp.

Mr. Wang, who was wearing a bright red Fushou robe, looked particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the two girls in yellow shirts.

When the old birthday star appeared on the stage, the closest colleagues, relatives and friends in the hall immediately greeted him in unison, and respectfully invited the old birthday star to take his seat.

After Wang Jinglun was seated, the birthday celebrations and birthday gifts began in sequence. I don't know how the palace arranged this order, but Dai Shide was ranked fifth. Waiting for the people in front to say a few birthday wishes Ci, after presenting their carefully selected birthday gifts, it was the turn of Dai Shide, the second-in-command in the officialdom of Dongchang Mansion.

With a wave of Dai Shide's hand, the servant who had been waiting for a long time behind him immediately stepped forward holding the blue glass box.

Dai Shide held up the blue glass box with both hands, handed it to Wang Jinglun, and said a birthday wish: "Old officer Dai Shide, I wish you a great reputation, a life as long as Nanshan, a virtue that is valued by the world, and a life that is respected by people! Not everyone in the chrysanthemum water will live long. Taoyuan is a fairy, a crane is a thousand years old, and a pine is an eternal spring!"

"Okay, okay, what a crane is a thousand years old, and the pine age is eternal spring, hahaha, I hope I can borrow your good words, it is really like a fairy like a crane, and as long as a pine."

Wang Jinglun sat in the main seat, and the two servant girls stood behind him. His eldest son was on the left, and his big butler was on the right. He smiled and saw the butler accept Dai Shide's birthday gift, looking at the bright blue glass box , with a gleam in his eyes, he said to Dai Shide: "Shide, what kind of birthday gift did you give me? I just look at this box. They are all high-quality glazed jade wares. It's really cool to use it to hold a birthday gift. I can't imagine what kind of baby it is."

"Returning to my lord, ever since I found out that my lord is celebrating my birthday today, I have sent people to search for suitable birthday gifts. After much deliberation, I know that my lord prefers jade, so I specifically searched for it in this direction, and really let me find it. A precious jade of excellent quality."

Dai Shide explained respectfully, pointing to the blue glass box in the housekeeper's hand while talking, and said to Wang Jinglun: "Everyone knows that my lord has been immersed in jade for a long time and has a very strong appreciation. Just open it, have a look at it for yourself, and tell your subordinates whether the true value of this jade is as mysterious as the merchant who sold it to you said."

"This dog official, in a few words, the phoenix blood jade bracelet was sold to him, but who has ever seen even a penny of his money?" Li Haoyun couldn't hold himself back, sitting on the seat and looking at The birthday celebration scene in the hall suddenly whispered angrily.

"Brother, please be safe and don't be impatient, please watch carefully, then Dai Shide will suffer disaster." Li Muyun whispered to the side, fortunately, all the guests around were paying attention to the hall at this moment, but no one heard him The words of the two brothers, or just the phrase "dog officer", would have caused unnecessary trouble.

"Shi De is very complimentary. I just like jade. As for my taste, I have a little bit of it, but I'm still far, far away from a real expert in this way." Wang Jinglun waved his hand humbly, Then he personally took the blue glass box handed over by the butler and gently opened the lid of the horse's head.

"This is a bracelet made of phoenix blood jade!" Wang Jinglun gasped as soon as he opened the blue glass box, his eyes brightened immediately, and he was about to take out the bracelet and taste it carefully.

However, at this moment, a faint clear voice came from the back hall: "Stop."

As the voice came out, a young man in white clothes and trousers came out from the back hall. Exuding a strong aura, he walked slowly to Wang Jinglun's side.

When Wang Jinglun heard the voice, he had already retracted his hand and did not take out the phoenix blood jade bracelet from the blue glass box. When he saw the young man approaching, his face suddenly became solemn and he looked with some respect. He said to the young man: "Taoist Priest Qingxuan, why do you ask me to stop? Is there something weird about this jade?"

"what?"

As soon as the young man in white appeared, Li Muyun's expression suddenly changed, his brows furrowed slightly, he summoned the system in his mind, and asked puzzledly: "System, who is that man in white? Why can't my consciousness see through it?" Him? There is obviously such a person, but when my consciousness scanned the past, the result returned to me was that there was no one there? What is going on? "
