This is a model of a round ship with a length-to-width ratio of about five to two, and the entire body is made of gold.
It has a high tail and a low head, with a grid-like upper deck on both sides and only one mast and one sail.
The bow is engraved with sun texture, and there is a small mast and sail on the top and a small dihedral triangular top sail.
The bottom of the boat is covered with a layer of rose gold decoration, which looks like it is burning with fire.
"This is...a sailing merchant ship from southern Europe in the Middle Ages."
Xu Dahai walked around the model and squinted his eyes to observe it carefully.
When he has free time on weekdays, Uncle Xu often goes to antique shops and pawn shops with a few old friends. Although he cannot afford to buy them, he is very interested in these retro works of art.
The corners of Chu Huixin's mouth twitched, and the more she looked at this thing, the more panicked she became.
What sail is important for a merchant ship?
How much does it cost to make a work of art made of pure gold? If you accept this, how will you repay the gift in the future?
Besides, this thing is good-looking, but if you leave it at home, it will attract thieves!
After giving her old man a hard kick, Chu Huixin pursed her lips to signal him to get down to business.
"Ahem."
Xu Dahai coughed twice, looked at Steve with a very embarrassed expression and said:
"Old Shi, this gift is too valuable, we can't accept it."
Shaking his fat hand, Steve said with a smile on his face the words he had prepared long ago.
"This Golden Sun is the treasure ship of the God of Commerce in Aceglu's words, symbolizing fire and free trade."
"It is a gift specially given to distinguished guests by the Kingdom of Wo. The marriage between Leiyin and Xu Fei has been approved by both families. We will support the party as a family and please accept our friendship."
"Before coming to China, Brother Wang specially told me that he must hand it over to you personally."
"this……"
Xu Dahai was speechless for a moment, it was really hard to refuse this reason.
He hesitated and looked at his wife, not knowing what to do.
As a result, Chu Huixin turned her head and let him, the nominal head of the family, make his own decision.
"Old Xu, don't worry about your progress. Aceglu is the land of oil and gold, and gold is not valuable there."
Steve patted Xu Dahai on the shoulder and laughed.
Hearing this, Xu Fei couldn't help but raise his eyelids.
I thought that what you said was too false. It would be strange for my parents to believe it.
Although the international gold price fluctuates every day, and the gold price among countries is also different, the overall pricing is quite different.
Such a large lump of gold weighs at least four or five kilograms. Even if we put aside the effect of the natural spirit gathering array and the added value of artistic processing, the value of the precious metal alone must be over one million.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. What is the royal family of this small country planning?
Forget it, thinking too much will get you involved, so why not ask directly later.
"Dad, since it is what my future father-in-law wants, let's accept it." Xu Fei stepped forward and closed the lid of the box.
Seeing that his son had made the decision for him, Xu Dahai stopped inking and nodded with a smile.
Xiao Fei will be lucky to have such a beautiful, skilled and wealthy daughter-in-law.
I was worried that my in-laws would look down on Xiao Fei's background, but it turned out that they were so polite that they didn't care about being a good match.
Seeing that the gift was finally accepted, Steve secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The royal family can't be so arrogant as to just give something like this to a distinguished guest.
The model of the Golden Sun was a treasure that they hired a well-known blacksmith to tailor-make for Xu Dahai's family.
If they say nothing, the money will be wasted.
The Aceglu royal family believes that the princess from another world, as a bridge between the two worlds, is of great importance to the earth star.
No matter what she needs, the Earth Star Alliance will try its best to provide it, and Xu Fei will definitely benefit from it.
At this time, if you give something from the extraordinary realm, people may not be able to remember you even after receiving the gift.
Therefore, after several studies, the Aceglu royal family decided to adopt roundabout tactics and "attack" the family of the prospective father-in-law of the princess from another world.
A small natural spirit gathering array has limited effect on increasing the energy density of the surrounding environment.
For the weak bodies of ordinary people, it has the effect of strengthening physical fitness, prolonging life, and delaying aging.
But for extraordinary people, it is completely useless. Using such flashy things is not as practical as going to find a spiritual mountain blessed land in the mountains.
In terms of the value of gold, extraordinary people don't take it seriously.
So basically there is no need to worry about being coveted.
As for regular thieves, the Aceglu royal family has thought it through.
In addition to the spirit gathering array, the sailboat model is also equipped with several warning and hypnosis techniques.
It can effectively ensure that the criminal is still asleep before the police arrive.
"I'm here for an important matter."
Steve looked at Leiyin with a smile on his face.
But he was very uneasy in his heart, fearing that this cold princess from another world would settle the score with his wife!
Because the role he is going to play next is blackface.
Leiyin glanced at Steve expressionlessly, probably guessing what he was going to say next.
It turns out that the Earth Star Alliance's promise to 'take care of the emotions of all her associates on Earth Star' was based on this method.
"My dear niece, next week is the day when Aceglu holds his annual coming-of-age ceremony."
"You are already sixteen years old, and you need to return to the country with your nest for a while to receive the blessing of the God of Fire under the witness of His Majesty the King."
What Steve said was half-truth.
Their country does hold a coming-of-age ceremony every year, and the king and queen will also attend the ceremony.
"Well...I know..."
Leiyin nodded slightly and glanced at Xu Fei's eyes, a look of loneliness flashed away.
That's good...at least the lie...will not disappoint my uncle and aunt in a short period of time...
"Girl, are you going back to China? How soon do you plan to come back?"
Chu Huixin took Leiyin's little hand and expressed concern.
She didn't think much about it. It was normal for international students to come to China to live and study and occasionally return to their parents' home.
Yatou and Xiaofei have been living together for so long, and the woman's family has also come to visit, so marriage is a certainty.
Chu Huixin's focus is whether Leiyin can come back next month to celebrate the Spring Festival together.
For the Chinese people, New Year's Day is a small festival, while Spring Festival is a big festival celebrated by the whole country.
When the time comes, relatives and friends will come to visit, and it’s time to introduce the eldest daughter-in-law to them one by one, and show off a little bit.
"Aunt... I haven't been home for a long time. Maybe... I will stay for a while... I, I will come back as soon as possible..."
Liu Mei frowned slightly, but there was a peaceful smile on the corner of her mouth.
Leiyin lowered her head slightly, not wanting to look into Chu Huixin's eyes.
She didn't know how long it would be as soon as possible.
war……
Maybe five years, maybe ten years, or maybe until she is old and exhausted to the last moment of her life...
Seeing Leiyin showing such a strange expression for the first time, Xu Fei's heart tightened, and then he sighed silently.
Don't worry, I won't let you go back alone.
