Chapter 453 Meeting Ceremony
Rarely happy, Chen Ningya specially asked the chef to make some delicacies from the mountains and seas. Many ingredients were taken from the dry goods store, as well as Wen's signature dry roast goose, as well as Chen Ningya's self-brewed fruit wine, Zhuo Qianyu and Hu Yiyun The desserts they made were idle on Zhuangzi, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had thought about a lot of new tricks.
Xi Hongjun and a group of people were very satisfied with the use, and the Wen family was also relieved.
After dinner, a group of talents dispersed. The Wen family's courtyard was large and exquisite, and the one arranged for Xi Hongjun and the others was also the best one. The men stayed in the front yard to talk if they didn't want to rest, and the others went back to take a hot bath when they were tired. Relieve fatigue and get a good night's sleep. Anyway, they will stay in the capital for a while, so they are not in a hurry.
Xiao Yuyan took a bath comfortably, and Lan Silk brought over the meeting gift that Chen Ningya had prepared for her, along with a silk cloth jacket.
After Xiao Yuyan put it on, she touched it back and forth curiously. The clothes she used to wear were all brocade, and the lining was specially sent by her grandfather. It is the only one in Daqi. She doesn't wear silk clothes like this. Yes, it took a while to get used to it after the upper body, and his eyes fell on the meeting ceremony given by Chen Ningya and Wen Yuanzhen.
Chen Ningya learned from Xi Hongjun, and her things were packed in a small box, while Wen Yuanzhen's was a kit.
She took off the kit without thinking. Unexpectedly, it was a jade pendant. When you touched it, you knew it was a good warm jade. This thing was worth a thousand taels.
Xiao yuyan played with it twice before putting down the jade pendant and went straight to open the box, only to see that Liang blinded her eyes with seven colorful gems.
Xiao Yuyan stood up in shock, took out the gems one by one and took a closer look.
Xiao Ding was talking to Bailiqing at the moment, when he heard the movement, he couldn't help but had a headache and held his forehead, "Come in."
Xiao Yuyan rushed in happily, closed the door, and ignored Bailiqing, who was sitting beside him, and opened the box, "Brother, look! This is a gift from my little aunt!"
Bailiqing on the side took a look and gasped, "A gem unique to Tubo! How did Mrs. Wen get this thing?"
Xiao Ding squinted his eyes, touched his chin and thought: "If I guessed right, this thing should have been monopolized by the Tubo royal family long ago, even the Tubo nobles may not have it, and the entire Daqi will be the king of Dingbei. Maybe I can get some, my aunt gave it to you so easily?"
Xiao yuyan, after knowing the origin of this gemstone, quickly closed the box, hugged it tightly in her arms, and said vigilantly, "It was given to me by my little aunt, you can't think of this thing!"
Bailiqing teased and teased: "The county master, maybe Mrs. Wen didn't know the value of this thing before giving it to you, why don't I go and tell Mrs. Wen?"
"You dare!" Xiao Yuyan stepped forward and stepped on Bailiqing in a panic.
He giggled when he saw the pain on his face, and quickly slipped out.
Xiao Ding glanced at him with disgust, "That's all you can do!"
When Bailiqing heard the words, it was painful and depressed, "Then you gave me an idea! She has never been enlightened since she was a child, and she always looks at me unpleasantly! I just don't understand, this young master is the same. With a dignified appearance, capable of both literature and martial arts, what can't be in her eyes?"
Bailiqing fell into deep self-doubt.
Xiao Ding ignored him, but asked, "Do you really think that little aunt doesn't know the value of those gems?"
Bailiqing shrugged, "How do I know about this? I'm not a roundworm in your little aunt's belly! But I think Mrs. Wen is cautious and can't give a casual greeting. 80% of them know about this kind of thing. The meaning is extraordinary, it is not a taboo in Daqi, and it is rare, worthy of the status of the county master."
Xiao Ding was silent, Bailiqing's thoughts coincided with him.
The three brothers and sisters Wen Yuanjing also went back to their rooms. Only then did they have the heart to see what Xi Hongjun gave them, but as soon as the box was opened, the three brothers and sisters twitched the corners of their mouths in their respective rooms, even Qi Zixi sighed. Tongue lingering, he took out a pearl the size of a baby's fist from the box, looked at the candle light to the left and looked again, hesitantly said, "Is this Dongzhu?"
Wen Yuanzhen was taken aback, "I can't do it! Dongzhu is something that only the imperial palace has, and it is worn on the heads of the empress, concubine and several princes! No matter how powerful my uncle's family is, they can't take out so many Dongzhu at once! "
said that the real Wen Yuanzhen also counted carefully, "There are fifty-two!"
Qi Zixi thought for a second, that was the truth, so he didn't bother about this topic anymore, maybe it was just a rare pearl on their side.
Wen Yuanzhen happily held it in her hand for a while and played with it for a while, thinking about taking two to make jewelry, and wearing it out will definitely hold the scene.
The couple were talking when Wen Yuanjing and Wen Yuanhong suddenly came over together. The first sentence they entered was to ask Xi Hongjun for the greeting, only then did Wen Yuanzhen and his wife know that they both had the same beads, both of them fifty-two beads. .
Now she is no longer suspicious, it is impossible for someone to take out so many Dongzhu at once, and even the royal family cannot be so extravagant!
The reassured siblings went back to their respective homes and slept soundly.
The next morning, Wen Yuanjing went to the front yard early, and saw Xi Hongjun, Xiao Ding, Bailiqing, Wen Yuanhong, and Xiao Yuyan boxing together, and immediately moved over, happily together.
Xi Hongjun squinted his eyes in surprise and grinned, "Girls can also punch and kick?"
Not to mention that Xi Hongjun was shocked, even others were amazed, especially Xiao Yuyan, who looked at Wen Yuanjing as if she had found a confidant, and was so excited that she wanted to jump on her.
Wen Yuanjing nodded obediently, "Mother also learned it. I have been studying with my mother for a few years and I'm used to it, but I don't like boxing, I like playing swords!"
With that said, Wen Yuanjing picked up a broken branch and began to dance the sword. Xiao Yuyan couldn't help clapping her hands in a neat posture, and said loudly on purpose, "Little cousin, you are much stronger than that cousin Chen Xiaodie. I just like you, that kind of sick seedling that can't help but fall when the wind touches it, I don't like it!"
Xi Hongjun stared at Wen Yuanjing with joy, he didn't listen carefully to what Xiao Yuyan was saying, Xiao Ding was expressionless, and Bailiqing hurriedly agreed: "The county master is right, I don't like that kind of sick child either. "
"Yeah!" Xiao Yuyan rarely gave Bailiqing a good face, making Bailiqing so happy that he couldn't find the north.
Wen Yuanjing played a set of sword dances, panted and walked to Xi Hongjun's side, and asked with a smile, "Uncle, how are you?"
Xi Hongjun gave a thumbs up without hesitation, "It's even more powerful than the uncle thought, you girl is really surprising! Even your second brother is not as good as you!"
