Qi Yuanshan's birthday is approaching.Although it is not as grand as the twentieth crown ceremony, it can be regarded as a "small coming-of-age ceremony".All the antique and jade stores in the capital were too busy to get out, and they were just sending Mr. Zhang away, and then they were busy choosing styles for Mr. Zhou. Whoever they entertained during the day was the master who could not be neglected.

Jin Wang Han Jing has been hesitating for an entire hour standing in front of the pile of treasures: Although this piece of sapphire is a fine piece of jade, it is green and smooth all over, but it is not special enough to stand out; Rare treasures, dark and shiny, can show a colorful aura in the sun, but it is heavy and monotonous, and it will inevitably appear too dull, not the temperament of the hill; look at the blood jade, bright in color and unique in texture, but this red one is also Too coquettish, extremely kitsch!

"Have you chosen the gift for Lord Qi?" Wan Zixiao saw Han Jing frowning as soon as he entered the hall. The clothes have been prepared, please select the gift earlier."

Seeing that the person who came in was Wan Zixiao, Han Jing, who was in trouble, seemed to have seen a savior, walked over quickly, took his hand and said, "Zixiao, come here and help me choose, I can't find a good one even if I have a lot of eyes." .”

Wan Zixiao glanced at the emeralds and jades all over the room, and said coldly: "My lord has collected treasures for Mr. Qi from all over the country three months in advance, and now jades are like mountains and pearls are like sand, it's strange not to hesitate."

Han Jing was so focused on choosing gifts for Qi Yuanshan that he couldn't care about Wan Zixiao's emotions, so he picked up the brocade box at hand and handed it over, and continued: "Do you think it's too monotonous and pitiful if it's just a piece of sapphire? "

At this time, the noble man is like a child picking out his favorite toy. With his head lowered, he compares the several pieces of jade on the table with incomparable concentration. The hair was close to the face, the brows were slightly frowned, and the thin lips were drawn into a line.

It is said that people with thin lips are ruthless, Wan Zixiao tilted her head and thought about it, she was right or wrong.If it wasn't for thinness, how could he be able to say all the sweet words to himself without being moved in the slightest. If it was thinness, then what would Qi Yuanshan's kindness be?

Wan Zixiao laughed lightly, but her heart felt chilly, the wind and cold hadn't healed, and her voice was hoarse and nasal: "My lord really cares about Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi likes beautiful jade, so give him a 'jade banquet'."

Han Jing was taken aback: "'Jade Banquet'?"

Wan Zixiao picked up the blood jade and put it in his hands to play with it carefully: "From pity to sorrow, from joy to chaos. If the prince is at ease, let me handle this matter."

Han Jing sighed, held Wan Zixiao in his arms and patted his back, with a low voice: "I believe you! Zixiao, I don't worry about anything you do."

Knowing that what he said was never careless, Wan Zixiao pushed Han Jing away without a trace of nostalgia, no longer smiled, and said with a cold face: "Since the prince is trustworthy, please go back to your room and change your clothes."

Han Jing was curious about what kind of novelty the "Jade Banquet" would be, but he was not worried. What really worried him was Wan Zixiao's attitude.Even if he was dissatisfied and ridiculed, he never resisted any of his orders. Han Jing couldn't imagine what it would be like if Wan Zixiao ran out of affection one day and abandoned him.

Taking advantage of the gap between changing clothes, Han Jing turned his head and asked Xue Qingmu, his bodyguard: "You and Zi Xiao seem to have a good relationship, so what do you think of Zi Xiao?"

It was Xue Qingmu's first time talking to Han Jing, and the loyal and honest young guard hesitated for a while before answering: "Young Master Wan...he is a good man..."

"Good guy?" As for Wan Zixiao's sharp temper, someone would praise others, Han Jing suddenly became interested: "Then how can you tell me a good way?"

Aoki was stunned, obviously stopped by this question, he hesitated for a long time before reluctantly answering: "Mr. Wan, although he always said some hurtful things, but I can feel that he has no malicious intentions, he is a warm-hearted and good person. I like him Don't say you like it, but those who don't like it are desperately mocking. People who seem to be difficult to deal with are actually softer than anyone else. Mr. Wan always calls me a 'fool' and 'lumber', but when you think about it carefully, he is also afraid that I will be fooled in the future. I said that on purpose."

Being mentioned by Xue Qingmu, Han Jing suddenly realized that he knew too little about the "person next to his pillow" who had been with him for more than ten years. What he liked and what he didn't like, he didn't know anything until he thought about it carefully.Apart from his infatuation, intelligence, and sharpness of daily knowledge, Han Jing doesn't know how else to define Wan Zixiao. He obviously has a lot to say but can't say a word.

Re-examining the silent and dull man beside him, at the age of eighteen or nine, with ordinary facial features, and a tall and strong body that made him a bit clumsy, Han Jing felt a lot of dissatisfaction out of thin air, closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose and said: " I didn't expect you to know him better than this king."

After the servants informed that everything was ready, Han Jing boarded the carriage and left the palace, and a group of people walked slowly towards the Qi mansion in the east of the city.

In the evening, a small wind blew through and brought a deep coolness. Han Jing opened the curtain and asked the accompanying servants: "Where is Wan Zixiao? Let him sit in the car and rest more if the wind and cold do not improve."

The servant girl accompanying the sedan chair lowered her head and said softly, "Returning to the prince, Mr. Wan has reported that he is not feeling well and will not go to Mr. Qi's birthday banquet for fear of bumping into Mr. Qi's birthday banquet."

Han Jing was stunned for a moment, with an indescribable feeling in his heart, and after some hesitation, he ordered: "Let Xue Qingmu go back and take care of him! If he has a fever again at night, send my order to call the imperial doctor to take a look."

As soon as the prince's "Crystal Mountain and River" comes out, the pearls and jade in front are all compared to rocks and soil.The crystal, which is more than ten feet high, flows with seven colors of light. The panorama of the Great Swallow is finely carved on the base, 35 states and counties are marked in detail, and four different landforms are presented on each side of the crystal.Mountains and rivers, plains and fertile fields, Gobi desert, mountains and cliffs, the carvings on each side are extremely fine and vivid, the river water on the crystal stone seems to be able to flow, the old farmers on the edge of the fertile fields seem to be able to speak at any time, every barren hill and fallen leaves have life .

Crown Prince Han Tong was full of ambition, shaking the paper fan that Qi Yuanshan had just given him and said: "Xiaoshan, this 'Crystal Mountain and River' is the best in the world, and no matter how difficult it is to get this crystal stone, the carvings on it alone cost a lot of money." It took eight craftsmen two full months to complete it."

"The prince's kindness can't be repaid by Yuanshan." Qi Yuanshan stood up from his seat and filled a glass of sake: "Here, Yuanshan toasts the prince with a glass, and helps the prince to be blessed, and the great Yanjiang Mountain will last forever."

Everyone congratulated Qi Yuanshan one after another. Luo Shaogong was already slightly drunk after the wine wheel, and when he saw such a beautiful thing again, his emotions were so high that he couldn't rely on himself. Look, Prince Jin still refuses to show it to everyone!"

Han Jing stood up calmly, saluted the prince and said, "As soon as His Royal Highness' 'Crystal Mountains and Rivers' comes out, there is nothing comparable in terms of luxury and exquisiteness in the world. What this king brings is just some 'appetizers'." , clap three times.

When the lively banquet quieted down, I saw a boy in gray clothes running in from the main entrance of the banquet hall. The boy looked around and bowed to Qi Yuanshan who was wearing white clothes. The eighteen dishes you ordered are ready, would you like to serve them now?"

Qi Yuanshan nodded in doubt, the boy turned around, and raised his voice a few times towards the door: "The food is served!"

"The first cold appetizer, Xicui cabbage!"

Waiting for the maid holding the food box to enter the door, you will understand that the "Xicui cabbage" is not the real cabbage, but the "Jade cabbage" decorated with a whole piece of jadeite. The natural white and green without artificial polishing It is deliberate, and the few fine carvings in the "vegetable leaves" part are enough to show the exquisite skills of the craftsmen, which are more vivid and ingenious than the "Crystal Mountains and Rivers".

"Hot soup to warm the stomach is the second course, Jiuniang Yuanxiao!"

Even with the first "dish" as the basis, when eighteen Western Region Night Pearls exuding light green fluorescence were served, it still caused quite a stir.The said Ye Mingzhu is not a rare item, but it is not easy to get eighteen of the same texture and size all at once.What's more, this is only the second way, and what treasures there will be in the future will whet the appetite.

The [-] "dishes" can be said to be more delicate and precious than the other, which caused the crowd to exclaim one after another, and the degree of surprise far exceeded the instant shock brought by "Crystal Mountain and River".

Hearing everyone's admiration, Han Jing couldn't help but admire Wan Zixiao's wit and wit, which couldn't be compared to gorgeous and precious, but Linglong's thought.

Wan Zixiao is a "sharp blade", fortunately it is his "sharp blade".
