Bai Yiran heard this and asked Qiurong to get the birthday gift from An Zhixian, and looked at it carefully with each hand:
"They are indeed a pair. The texture of the jade and the craftsmanship of the carving clearly come from the same rough stone and the same craftsman."
Lin Jinyan was stunned for a moment, recalling that An Zhixian had bought this jade piece when she went to Midnight Hou. He said it was of high quality and the carvings had good meanings, so it was particularly suitable for giving as a gift.
When he saw it and praised it a few times, An Zhixian gave it to him. Because I was embarrassed to accept his expensive gift, I spent some money on it and forced An Zhixian to accept it.
At that time, he didn't say there was a pair of these things...
Seeing everyone looking at Jade Qilin and then looking at herself, Lin Jinyan suppressed the inexplicable panic in her heart:
"It's a coincidence. I think it must be because my aunt is so blessed that even this unicorn is rushing to come to you."
When everyone heard this, they all had kind smiles on their faces. They praised Lin Jinyan for her sweet mouth and praised the pair of unicorns for their auspiciousness.
Gu Hongzhang: "Since the boy from the An family gave you a gift, why didn't he come to eat?"
Gu Ruizhou: "Grandpa, Zhixian is busy with things today and can't leave. We are worried that he will be restrained by us, so he said he would come back another day."
Gu Hongzhang smiled and said: "This kid, how many times have I told him to be more informal and comfortable, but why is he still like this?"
Gu Qingyun: "Zhixian is a child who is humble and polite. He doesn't look down on himself because of his status as a businessman, nor does he act because of the powerful people he has friends with. He is able to advance and retreat in a controlled manner and is mature and prudent. This is really rare."
Hearing her grandfather and uncle's praise of An Zhixian, Lin Jinyan felt flustered and slightly surprised:
Is this person already so familiar here? Is the reputation so good?
Never sleep.
An Zhixian felt itchy at the base of his nose. He quickly turned his head to cover his face with his sleeves and sneezed loudly.
"Is Zhixian catching a cold? Although spring has begun, it's not that warm yet. Don't take off your clothes too early."
An Zhixian stood up and cleaned his hands. Hearing Lin Yanqing's concern, he smiled and replied:
"I didn't take off my clothes because I was afraid I might have offended someone and got scolded."
Pingyang Hou held the chess pieces, stared at the chess game and thought about it, and said without raising his head:
"That's definitely not me. I don't have time to curse right now."
When several people in the room heard this, they all smiled.
An Zhixian wiped his hands, refilled hot tea for several people, and smiled as if his elders were gossiping:
"No rush, just wait until you are free."
Grand Master Yao glanced at the opposite side. Marquis Pingyang, who was ready to make a move several times but hesitated, slowly sipped the tea cup:
"With your gentle temperament, I'm afraid it's not easy to offend people."
Pingyang Hou found what he thought was a perfect spot, dropped the piece, picked up the tea cup and looked at An Zhixian:
"No wonder Si Nian is full of praise for you. As expected, you are as humble and open-minded as your name suggests."
Mr. Tang Ge gently stroked his beard and nodded: "That's true."
An Zhixian cupped his fists and said, "The words of praise really make people feel as if they are in the clouds. If you praise me any more, your feet will never touch the ground."
Pingyang Hou followed the three men and chuckled. When he saw that Master Yao had lost the piece, he didn't care about drinking tea. He quickly put down the teacup and picked up the chess pieces. He stared at the chessboard and whispered in a low voice:
"What are you doing so soon..."
Seeing An Zhixian sitting down, Mr. Tang Ge looked at him and asked:
"Zhixian, I see that you are a good match for the uncle and nephew of Divine Doctor Wu, and he lives here with you. I guess we have a close personal relationship?"
An Zhixian: "This junior has a close relationship with Divine Doctor Wu, and it can be considered a close personal relationship. Why does the elder ask about Divine Doctor Wu?"
Mr. Tang Ge put down his tea cup and sighed:
"I think you have also heard about my granddaughter who married into the Xiao family and Meng Jie's background."
