Cui Family, Chunfu Hall
Just when the birthday banquet was about to begin, a tall and burly figure slowly walked into Chunfu Hall. At the same time, the steward of Cui Mansion who was in charge of the roll call also shouted:
"The special envoy of the Governor, Lord Xing Dalin has arrived!"
When he heard the name "Xing Dalin" appear, Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed to rest, immediately opened his eyes.
For things like the Cui family's birthday banquet, it can be said that Song Wenhui, the governor of Liaoyang, sent someone to congratulate him. This can be said to be inevitable, but Ye Mingsheng really didn't expect that the person Song Wenhui sent was actually Xing Dalin... ···
This is really in line with the old saying, bad people come, and good people never come!
I have to say that the Cui family really gave Xing Dalin, or Song Wenhui behind him, a lot of respect. Cui Dakai, as an important member of the family, actually personally welcomed Xing Dalin into the inner hall. Today's birthday banquet, There are no more than five people with this treatment!
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng smiled disapprovingly. Xing Dalin was just a loyal dog raised by Song Wenhui. His target today was the Cui family. He couldn't afford to lose the big because of the small, and focus on one and lose the other...
"The ancestor of your house is celebrating his birthday. The Governor wanted to come in person, but he is busy with official duties, so he can only entrust me to come and congratulate him. Mr. Cui, please don't think that you are a humble person!"
In the inner hall, Xing Dalin cupped his hands towards Cui Shao and said with a smile:
"General Xing, where are you talking? Who doesn't know that you are a popular figure in front of the governor and your future is limitless?"
"In spite of his busy schedule, the Governor still remembered the birthday of our ancestors and sent you here by Xing Shen. He has given our Cui family a lot of face. The Cui family is very grateful!"
Although he said polite words, Cui Shao's expression was very dull, and he didn't seem as happy as his words showed!
Sensing Cui Shao's attitude, Xing Dalin's heart sank, but the smile on his face remained unchanged and he quietly winked at the men beside him.
A subordinate immediately walked over carrying an object covered with red silk. Although he still didn't know what was under the red silk, the appearance and Xing Dalin's identity were enough to attract him. Everyone's eyes.
Feeling the attention of everyone, a look of satisfaction appeared on Xing Dalin's face, and he said proudly to Cui Shao:
"Master Cui doesn't know something. Although the Governor sent me to congratulate you, the protagonist is not me, but this thing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Dalin didn't show any concern and just raised the red silk...
Under the red silk, there was a jade Buddha that was one foot tall!
The jade quality of the Jade Buddha is of appropriate shades, exuding a vitality and vitality. Not only that, the carving of the Jade Buddha is also lifelike and lifelike. At first glance, it is the handiwork of a master!
"In order to express his congratulations to the Cui family, the Governor specially purchased a rough stone from Luo'an at a large price, and then asked Master Li He to carve it. It took ninety-nine and eighty-one days to carve it. Only this one, no other semicolon!”
"The Governor would like to use this Buddha to wish the ancestors of the Cui family as blessed as the East Sea and as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Xing Dalin's words were sonorous and powerful, and there was a burst of admiration in Chunfu Hall immediately after the words fell.
"Such a big jade Buddha is carved from a single piece of jade. The governor is really generous!"
"The Cui family is really the number one family in Liaoyang in name only. They are so proud. When our ancestor celebrates his birthday, even the Governor has to give such a heavy gift!"
"Master Li He's jade Buddha carving skills are truly amazing! Master is worthy of being the number one jade carver in Liaoyang!"
················
················
"Your Majesty the Governor, this gift is too precious, and the Cui family cannot afford it!"
Amidst the exclamations of everyone, Cui Shao, the head of the Cui family, said in a deep voice:
Regarding Cui Shao's polite refusal, Xing Dalin seemed to have expected it and continued to say sincerely:
"Mr. Cui's words are wrong. This jade Buddha is so precious, how can it be worth the heart of the governor?"
"I hope Master Cui will not let down the Governor's wishes!"
Cui Shao narrowed his eyes slightly after understanding Xing Dalin's pun. However, just when he was about to say something, a faint voice came from Chunfu Hall.
"The Jade Buddha brought by General Xing Shen is indeed the best in the world and amazing. Ye also has a treasure that he is willing to dedicate to his ancestors!"
As soon as these words came out, the Chunfu Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other, wondering who was so ignorant!
Since this jade Buddha has appeared in the world, it should be the first gift today. Who doesn't know how high the sky is and how high it is, and dares to compete with it?
At this moment, Ye Mingsheng slowly stood up from the corner and walked in the direction of Cui Shao. Ye Dong, who was following him, had a maroon wooden box in his hand.
Ye Mingsheng's sudden outburst immediately focused everyone's attention on him, and everyone in the crowd started whispering and discussing with each other.
"Ye Mingsheng, what does he want to do?"
"The good show is finally here, Xing Dalin and Ye Mingsheng have a feud, and Ye Mingsheng is really not willing to sit back and watch Xing Dalin steal the show!"
"What did Ye Mingsheng's guard take?"
·············
·············
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's appearance, Xing Dalin tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and not let his hatred show even a trace. He looked at Ye Mingsheng and pretended to be surprised and said:
"This brother is...?"
Seeing Xing Dalin pretending not to recognize him, Ye Mingsheng had a playful smile on his face. He did not expose Xing Dalin's little thoughts, but said lightly:
"I am the general of the Zhenwu Army, Ye Mingsheng!"
"Oh! It turns out to be Mr. Ye. I wonder if General Ye has any birthday gifts that he would like to offer together with this jade Buddha?"
Speaking of this, Xing Dalin showed contempt, as if he was mocking Ye Mingsheng for not overestimating his abilities.
"Nothing else, just a herb!"
Ye Mingsheng said nonchalantly. As he spoke, he waved his hand. Ye Dong, who was behind him, opened the maroon wooden box in time. A piece of plant rhizome with an unspectacular appearance like ginger suddenly appeared in front of everyone. in front of.
Seeing this piece of "ginger", there was a faint burst of laughter in the crowd. When everyone saw Ye Mingsheng, who represented the Zhenwu Army, standing up, they all thought that even Ye Mingsheng could not come up with a treasure that could be compared with the Jade Buddha. The baby should be the same. I never expected that Ye Mingsheng would be so casual...
