Whetting his appetite, Gao Lishi said with a smile: "Those beauties who have passed away, we have no chance to meet, who is the first beauty, this is a topic without answers, because different people will have different answers." ”

There was a burst of goodwill cheers from everyone, and Gao Lishi's voice changed, and he quickly said: "We have no chance to witness the beauty of the face, but we can appreciate the treasures used by the beauties, and it can be regarded as seeing things and thinking about people. ”

As he spoke, Colliers had already taken out the mirror and held it high.

Mirrors?

Most of the people present were erudite and well-informed people, and when they heard the mirror and thought of Gaolis's words, they immediately guessed that the mirror was a mirror named after Shih Tzu.

"Mirrors? It's a mirror named after Shih Tzu, and it looks really beautiful. Pei Wushi, who was sitting in the first row, said with some surprise.

I only know that Li Linfu spent a lot of effort to prepare gifts, but what gifts to prepare, Pei Wushi really didn't ask.

"Grandpa Gao, this Yiguang mirror looks a little different, is there anything special?" Someone in the crowd asked aloud.

This question is a good question, Gao Lishi raised the mirror, and introduced loudly: "This treasure mirror, according to legend, is built by Fan Li for Xi Shi, using a piece of extraterrestrial iron to ask a famous craftsman to build, the weight is lighter than copper, and the mirror is much clearer than the copper mirror, it can be said that it is rare in the world." ”

"Interesting, Grandpa Gao, let Bengong take a look." Concubine Wu Hui was also interested, and said happily.

When Gao Lishi heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and respectfully presented the mirror to Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui took a look at it, and it was really light, and when she took a photo, it was unexpectedly clear, and she looked at it again and again for a while, and said with satisfaction: "Li Shilang has a heart, this congratulatory gift, this palace likes it very much." ”

When Li Linfu heard this, he thanked him with affection, and then retreated.

As soon as he sat down, seeing Zheng Peng casually laughing with his wife and concubine, Li Linfu suddenly became unbalanced again, rolled his eyes, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "There is only one champion left present, and the champion is waiting for the finale, I don't know what treasures make me wait to open my eyes?" ”

Why didn't the birthday banquet start yet, and Zheng Peng's family was rewarded by Concubine Hui? After being suspended, he could still sit so forward, he had just heard Zheng Peng say that he was not well prepared, how could Li Linfu let go of the opportunity to embarrass Zheng Peng, and squeezed Zheng Peng on the spot.

The treasury was stolen, Li Linfu was so angry that his teeth were about to be crushed, and he couldn't wait to fry Zheng Peng's skin and bones, but he couldn't find evidence, and he couldn't move Zheng Peng, so he could only swallow this breath, Zheng Peng was in order to build roads, and he was raising funds and selling goods publicly, so he wouldn't be so poor that he couldn't even get a decent gift, right? Like, he didn't give a gift alone, pretending to talk to the people around him, pretending not to have such a thing, nine times out of ten he was not ready, otherwise, he would have made a sacrifice a long time ago.

Li Linfu was unwilling to let go of this opportunity and deliberately squeezed Zheng Penglai.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Zheng Peng, indeed, among the people present, only Zheng Peng did not offer a congratulatory gift, and Zheng Peng was the most valued by Concubine Wu Hui, so many family members, only Zheng Peng's family members were invited to Penglai Hall to talk to Concubine Hui, and I heard that they were rewarded.

Li Longji saw that it was Zheng Peng, and said with a smile: "Zheng Aiqing, what congratulatory gift did you prepare for Concubine Hui, I also want to take a look." ”

Concubine Wu Hui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if there is a rule of chasing guests to ask for courtesy, don't embarrass General Zheng." ”

Zheng Peng immediately said: "Concubine Hui misunderstood, this is not a rule, it is etiquette, I dare not deceive Niangniang, the birthday ceremony is ready in the morning, it is... The preparation was a bit hasty, for fear that it would not fall into the eyes of the mother. ”

Li Linfu, who was sitting on the side, pursed his lips, thinking that this Zheng Peng was clever, and before he gave a gift, he would find a step for himself first.

Concubine Hui covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes turned around, and she said with a smile: "Listening to the general's meaning, it seems that I am reluctant to give a congratulatory gift, Your Majesty, give the concubine an idea." ”

Li Longji laughed and said casually: "It's easy, if the congratulatory gift can't satisfy Concubine An, I'll punish him for composing poems for Concubine Ai." ”

Concubine Hui's eyes lit up, and she stroked her palms and smiled: "General Zheng is a great talent all over the world, and the concubine hasn't seen General Zheng's new work for a long time, and this idea from Your Majesty is really wonderful." ”

The guests at the banquet applauded, Li Linfu's old face twitched, and he glanced at Zheng Peng unwillingly, his eyes were full of envy and jealousy: he was in a hurry, he forgot about this stubble, Zheng Peng's guy did it on purpose, he prepared an ordinary congratulatory gift, and was said that the congratulatory gift was not careless or the gift was too light, and then took the opportunity to present a poem to make a big show.

Yes, it must be so, maybe Zheng Peng is even ready for poetry, and he still squeezes him at a loss, but he didn't expect to make him show off in disguise, it's too cunning, Li Linfu wants to slap his big mouth, why do you have nothing to do, can't you arrange him after the birthday banquet?

Zheng Peng could not bargain, so he could only agree with a wry smile, and after Li Longji agreed, he asked the people waiting outside to send the congratulatory gifts he had prepared early in the morning.

Soon, the sharp-eyed Li Linfu saw two subordinates walking in with two wine jars, and his pupils shrank at first, but he soon smiled dumbly, this Zheng Peng, on this occasion, really want to use two jars of wine to pass away? It's too stingy.

Just wanted to open his mouth to tease, suddenly saw a subordinate come in with a wooden thing that looked like a base, followed by him, and two subordinates came in carrying a piece of red cloth and about the height of an adult, that thing seemed to be very thin, it looked like a screen, this Zheng Peng, what is the congratulatory gift?

Seeing Zheng Peng standing up and preparing to come forward to offer a gift, Li Linfu couldn't help but say a little sourly: "It's really a lot of art and not pressing, General Zheng is enough to go all over the world with just one poem." ”

It took so much effort to get a sentence of joy from Concubine Wu Hui, Zheng Peng is good, just with his talent in composing poetry, he has made a big show before he has even opened the gift, and even the emperor has spoken in person, as far as the courtiers are concerned, this kind of grace, no one in the Tang Dynasty can stand out.

"Li Shilang laughed, how can it be so good, there are too many trivial things over the years, this art has been abandoned, if it is done well, it is the scenery, if it is not done well, it will become a joke." Zheng Peng said with a bitter face.

"Hehe, General Zheng is still so modest."

Zheng Peng ignored him, and walked straight to Concubine Wu Hui and saluted: "Weichen wishes Concubine Hui Niangniang Changming." The pine crane is Changchun, the spring and autumn are not old, the ancient is rare, the joy is long, every year has today, and the years have today. ”

While speaking, Zheng Peng handed a gift list to Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi took it, his face pale for a moment, and saw that Zheng Peng did not add the intention to recall, and said loudly: "The champion candidate presented two altars of Huadiao wine in the year of the battle to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Hui." ”

No, it's really two jars of wine to be discarded? Li Linfu, who was sitting below, paused for a moment, but quickly set his eyes on the object covered in red silk and nearly a person high, if there was no accident, this item was the point.

Li Longji's eyes have also been on that mysterious object, when listening to Gao Lishi singing the gift list, he only mentioned the two jars of good wine, but did not explain the mysterious object, and couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Okay, you Zheng Qing's family, the concubine has prepared a generous reward for your two wives, and you want to fool the past with the two jars of good wine?" ”

Concubine Wu Hui was not angry, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty, General Zheng can come, the concubines are already very happy, as the saying goes, courtesy is light and affectionate, and the concubines are very happy with this congratulatory gift." ”

There are no treasures in the palace, what does Concubine Wu Hui want, she doesn't care about the weight of the gift at all, but cares more about the person who gives the gift, Zheng Peng is the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the mainstay, with Zheng Peng's support, it is very important for his son to compete for the crown prince's position, and his son can ascend to the throne one day, and capable ministers like Zheng Peng also have to rely on it.

Zheng Peng hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, it is an honor for Weichen to be invited to Concubine Huiniang's birthday banquet, how dare you fool and prepare a unique gift for Concubine Hui." ”

"Oh, it's the veiled one? What came from? Li Longji heard Zheng Peng say that he was unique, and his curiosity became stronger.

"Emperor Shengming" Zheng Peng pointed to the mysterious gift covered with red silk and said: "This is a special congratulatory gift specially prepared by Weichen for Concubine Hui. ”

Li Longji frowned lightly and said, "Since it is a congratulatory gift but it does not appear on the gift list, what is the explanation?" ”

Just now, I really thought that Zheng Peng only sent two jars of wine.

Zheng Peng hurriedly explained: "If you go back to the emperor, the time to prepare is too hasty, and the gift to be prepared is very special, Weichen just does it regardless of the cost, and is not sure that it can be completed smoothly, the original plan is to send two jars of wine first, and make up for it later, before going to the banquet, tell the subordinates, once it is completed, it will be sent to the palace immediately, God blesses, I didn't expect it to be successfully completed at the last moment, which did not appear in the gift list, please forgive the emperor." ”

Gao Lishi on the side looked at Zheng Peng with a smile, and thought to himself: This Zheng Peng, is really eloquent, with his personality, he never does anything that he is not sure of, and now he deliberately makes this one, that mysterious gift must be famous, otherwise with his lazy personality, he will definitely not be so positive, and our family will see what he wants to do.

Sitting below, Zhang Tanshi whispered: "What kind of congratulatory gift did General Zheng give, and he had to rush to work, it must be very special to see him attach so much importance to it." ”

Zheng Peng is an upstart in the DPRK and a wealthy man in the city, there will be no shortage of rare treasures in the treasury, just pick the right ones, but he does his best to prepare gifts for Concubine Hui, this heart alone is rare.

Zhang Jiuling's expression was a little weird, and he said to himself: "General Zheng's play, it's a bit familiar, the poetry meeting held in Guixiang back then..."

"Husband, what's wrong with the poetry club in your hometown?" Zhang Tan asked with some curiosity.

"Nothing, nothing, ma'am, look, the mystery is about to be revealed." Zhang Jiuling thought of something, stopped in time, and deliberately diverted the topic.

The voices of the two are not small, Lu Shu, who was sitting at the adjacent table, had a red face, and couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, a little embarrassed, what Zhang Jiuling said was clearly that the young master took the opportunity to promote the braised meat at the poetry meeting held by Guo Mansion in Guixiang, this time he asked himself to be secretive, but he had already let a smart person like Zhang Jiuling see through it, and the dignified champion was waiting to do these things at Concubine Hui's birthday banquet, Lu Shu really felt a little embarrassed.....
