After Lu Xuan stood still, he raised his hands and saluted Liu Biao, "Uncle, I did prepare a small gift. In terms of value, it is not as valuable as Liu Pan's jade cup. In terms of intention, it is not as painstaking as the eldest son. My gift is very valuable. It’s ordinary, please don’t dislike it, uncle.”
Liu Biao stroked his beard and said softly: "No matter what kind of gift it is, I like it, as long as you have the intention. I have already said that if you come to the birthday banquet, I will be very happy."
Liu Pan sneered and urged: "Lu Xuan, don't show off and bring in your gift."
Lu Xuan turned around and looked out the door and ordered: "Bring it in."
As he finished speaking, eight burly men came in carrying a large box. This big box is very long, more than one foot high and seven feet wide. The appearance of the big box instantly attracted everyone's attention.
After Liu Biao saw it, he sat up straight and leaned forward slightly.
There was a look of anticipation in his eyes.
This guy doesn't look ordinary at first glance. He doesn't look ordinary at all.
Liu Pan noticed Liu Biao's expectant look and frowned slightly. He thought that Lu Xuan had not prepared much and the gift must be ordinary. Unexpectedly, a big guy came and caused everyone to talk.
Pang Tong was beside Xu Shu. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yuanzhi, this Liu Pan has a very aggressive tone and seems to have a problem with the lord. It seems that Liu Pan is our enemy."
Xu Shu whispered: "My lord didn't do much in Xiangyang, and he probably has nothing to do with Liu Pan. But my lord is very organized in his work, so I think my lord must be prepared. This big guy is definitely not simple."
Pang Tong asked: "What do you think the Lord will give you?"
"Can't guess."
Xu Shu shook his head, he was even more looking forward to it.
Lu Xuan gained Liu Biao's support, which meant that he was invincible in Jingzhou.
The eyes of Mr. Pang De, Sima Hui and others also fell on Lu Xuan.
They all looked curious.
Lu Xuan walked to the big box and ordered people to open the box. Then, a big stone was revealed. At first glance, this stone gives people a strange and jagged look, with many pits and holes on it.
It can be roughly seen that this is the shape of the character longevity.
Liu Pan was a little worried at first, but when he saw the word "longevity", he suddenly understood.
Just a longevity stone!
Too ordinary.
Liu Pan mocked: "Lu Xuan, you just found a big stone and polished it into a very shallow character "Shou". It's too ordinary and insincere. It's in vain for uncle to treat you with such sincerity. You look for it. If you don’t get a suitable gift, it would be more meaningful to hand-write a prayer book.”
"enough!"
Liu Biao spoke.
He didn't have much requirements for Lu Xuan, and he had a very good impression of Lu Xuan, so he stopped Liu Pan's words.
Liu Biao turned to look at Lu Xuan and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, I like this longevity stone you prepared."
Liu Pan looked a little gloomy and sneered at Lu Xuan with a look of contempt.
Lu Xuan looked calm and said: "Uncle, this big stone is made of pure nature without any modification or carving. There are too many coincidences in this big stone, so I think it is a Rui Shi. Please come closer to your uncle and I will introduce you to him."
When Liu Biao heard this, he immediately became interested.
He stood up and walked to the big stone and looked at it carefully. The stone had indeed not been polished and looked like it was naturally formed.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "The reason why I say it is an auspicious stone is because there are two peculiar places in the stone."
Liu Biao asked: "Which two places are they?"
Lu Xuan explained: "First, the stone is nine feet nine inches tall and weighs nine hundred and ninety-nine pounds. On my uncle's birthday, such a longevity stone appeared, weighing nine hundred ninety-nine pounds and nine feet nine inches. Doesn’t it mean that God’s longevity means that my uncle will live a long life and enjoy endless blessings?”
"Yep!"
Liu Biao's brows relaxed, with a look of joy on his face.
For a long time!
Long life and good fortune!
This is a blessing from heaven.
Elderly people like Liu Biao are very concerned about these things, especially if a stone appears on someone's birthday, it is a good omen.
Liu Pan curled his lips, somewhat disbelieving.
He didn't speak for the time being.
Lu Xuan pointed to the holes in the stone again and said with a smile: "Second, there are many holes in this longevity stone. I heard from people below that there are exactly fifty-two holes. Today is my uncle's fifty-second birthday. Five The twelve holes correspond exactly to each other.”
"Uncle, look behind the stone. What the holes show is actually the shape of a symbol."
"It clearly means uncle."
"It's such a strange thing, such a coincidence, so I say it is an auspicious stone given by God. God was grateful for my uncle's merits in governing Jingzhou, and made Jingzhou prosperous. Countless people from the Central Plains fled to Jingzhou to live and work in peace and contentment. That's why there is such a stone."
There was an uproar in the hall.
Countless people looked at Lu Xuan with horrified eyes.
Lu Xuan is really shameless, he actually made such auspicious stones.
How could Liu Biao resist such an object?
Can't resist.
Once the auspicious stone comes out, all other gifts will be eclipsed. This is the best gift. Regardless of whether the stone is genuine or not, if it appears at the birthday banquet, it is carved by nature and a blessing from God.
This is the most powerful thing about Lu Xuan.
"Hahaha……"
Liu Biao couldn't help laughing.
The laughter was hearty.
There was even more joy on his face.
Liu Biao stroked his beard and liked it very much. He said: "I didn't expect that my nephew would find such a precious stone. I like your gift very much. You also said that the gift is very ordinary. Where is the ordinary, you are the one." The most caring person.”
"Uncle, Lu Xuan is deceiving you. There must be something wrong with his stone."
Liu Pan immediately denied it.
After all, he had lived for decades and had seen countless strange-shaped stones, but none of them had such a coincidence. He didn't believe what Lu Xuan was saying. This was done deliberately by Lu Xuan.
When Lu Xuan heard Liu Pan's words, a smile flashed across his eyes without interrupting.
Liu Pan is not smart.
No wonder Liu Biao left him idle.
Sure enough, when Liu Biao heard Liu Pan's words, his expression turned cold instantly.
Liu Biao's eyes were full of disgust and he said angrily: "Liu Pan, you are my nephew after all, but you were aggressive and targeted your nephew from the beginning. Now, your nephew has given you the best gift, and you accuse him of doubting him. You Being so narrow-minded is a disgrace to me. Get out and don’t embarrass yourself here."
Liu Pan didn't understand what he heard, and became even more angry. He said loudly: "Uncle, I am your nephew. Lu Xuan has evil intentions."
Liu Biao scolded: "Get out of here."
Liu Pan looked at Liu Biao's angry look and felt resentful in his heart. In full view of everyone, Liu Biao scolded him directly and drove him away, which made him lose face.
"Lu Xuan, let's wait and see."
Liu Pan said harsh words, gritted his teeth, and left angrily.
Liu Biao looked at Liu Pan's leaving figure, looking like he hated iron, and shook his head and said: "Liu Pan, this kid, is so narrow-minded and makes everyone laugh. Lu Xuan, don't worry about him. Don't worry about him."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will argue with him about what to do."
Cai Hao took the words and said: "It is normal for children to be ignorant. But this longevity stone is indeed a blessing from God. I wish my lord a long life."
"I wish my lord a long and prosperous life."
"I wish Liu Jingzhou a long and prosperous life."
"I wish you long and prosperous life."
Everyone who participated kept talking, all with congratulatory voices. These people also saw Shoushi's problem, but no one doubted it. As long as Liu Biao believes it and likes it, it is true.
A birthday banquet should be a joyful one.
Liu Biao held the wine glass and continued to toast to everyone. After the congratulatory gifts were delivered, Shoushi moved down, and the banquet continued for a while. When the atmosphere was in full swing, Liu Biao glanced at Lu Xuan, coughed twice, and the hall fell silent.
Liu Biao smiled and said: "Lu Xuan, I have one more thing to announce."
