The change of expression on the old butler's face was also noticed by Gu Yuan, which greatly aroused his curiosity.
What is in the box prepared by Li Siming that can make people change their expressions at just one glance?
Fortunately, the old housekeeper of the Li family was still able to keep his composure. He must have seen strong winds and waves. His face quickly returned to its original state, and he smiled and nodded at Gu Yuan.
He put the box into his sleeve and held it in his hand.
"There's nothing wrong with my little friend's congratulatory gift. Please come in."
Gu Yuan returned the greeting: "Thank you very much."
After saying that, he continued walking forward.
Butler Liang looked at his back now, thoughtfully.
"Steward Liang, what's in the box he sent?" A young servant came up and asked with a smile.
Butler Liang stretched out his hand and knocked the other party on the head, frowned and said: "Business about your own business, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked!"
"Yes!" The servant quickly changed his expression and became silent.
Butler Liang is an old man of the Li family. He seems to be kind-hearted on weekdays, but if he doesn't have iron-blooded skills, how can he manage the Li family well?
Seeing that Butler Liang was really angry, the servants didn't dare to express their anger.
Then, I saw Butler Liang leaving in a hurry, his face a little tense.
The servants who stayed there were looking at each other in confusion, and they were all curious about what was in the box just now.
That is to say, after reading the contents of the box, Butler Liang seemed to be a different person. He was a little nervous and a little excited. Anyway, it was hard to figure out.
Could it be that it's the legendary Pandora's Box?
Li's backyard.
Butler Liang ran all the way and finally found the place. He knocked on the door and immediately entered the yard after receiving the answer.
The old man who was sitting on a chair basking in the sun slowly adjusted his shawl and looked at the visitor with soft eyes.
"Isn't it time yet?"
"Old Madam!" Butler Liang took a few breaths and finally calmed down a little. He walked quickly to the front and took out the box from his sleeve, "Please take a look!"
"What is this?" The old man slowly sat up and asked with some confusion.
"Someone just sent me a congratulatory gift!"
The old man chuckled and said, "What are you doing? Bringing me a special gift. Even if it's worth a lot of money, it doesn't need to be like this."
Butler Liang shook his head vigorously and said with a wry smile: "Old madam, you will know after you take a look."
The old man pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and took the heavy box.
Gently opening the box, when he saw the contents inside, the old man's eyes changed obviously, but it was fleeting and remained as calm as before.
Stretching out his withered hand, he slowly took out a hosta from the box.
The color of the hosta is as bright as blood, and seems to reflect a faint red light under the sunlight. It is crystal clear and bright in color, while the end of the hairpin is a natural azure color, with two colors overflowing, bringing the beauty of nature.
On the hosta, it is decorated with texture, but the knife work seems a bit rough. At a glance, it does not seem to be a high-quality product.
But Butler Liang's eyes were red at this time. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and said softly: "Old madam, there are many people in the world who know that you love jade, but those who know that you are looking for red and green jade are not the same." Not many, and even fewer people know about the honeysuckle pattern on this hosta..."
The old lady exhaled slowly and nodded slightly. Her hand holding the hosta seemed to be trembling slightly. She laughed again and said: "This red and green double color is really top-notch, but it's a pity that the honeysuckle pattern on it is , the knife skills are so poor, it almost ruined a good object.”
Butler Liang quickly said, "Old madam, the honeysuckle pattern on this must have been carved by Master Siming himself, which shows how much care he put into it!"
"Oh, I see."
Butler Liang looked at the old lady's calm appearance and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"By the way, who is the person who sent the congratulatory gift?"
"Li Hongwei claimed to be from the Li family in Mang Village, but after thinking about it, I thought it was probably a cover-up, so I didn't say anything. Old madam, do you want me to invite him over?"
The old man pondered for a moment and waved his hand gently.
"No, just wait, we can see you later."
"yes."
"Do you remember what that person looks like?"
Butler Liang nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, I remember that young man's appearance well!"
The old lady nodded slightly.
"You go down first."
Before Butler Liang could respond, the old man slowly closed his eyes.
Butler Liang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but closed his mouth. He just walked into the room, found another blanket, gently covered the old man, and then turned and left.
After Butler Liang left, the old lady slowly opened her eyes. She slowly stretched out her hand, still holding the hairpin. After hesitating for a moment, she gently combed her white hair with her fingers and inserted the hairpin. But it seemed a little loose.
"The white-headed hairpin is shorter, and the hairpin is full of lust..." She muttered softly, then slowly closed her eyes, with a warm smile on her face.
…
The Li family compound has rarely been so lively.
In order to cope with today's scene, the Li family had made preparations several days in advance. But at this point, various problems still emerged one after another, and it was difficult to cover everything. The people in the Li family were all busy, one by one, and they were busy. In a hurry, Gu Yuan walked around the Li family compound, but no one paid attention to him.
Returning to the place where the guests gathered, tables were placed in the spacious interior. Gu Yuan sighed in his heart, isn't this banquet between top and upper-class families no different from eating in his hometown?
There are a few tables in particular, where some old men and women are sitting. Although they are dressed in extraordinary clothes, Gu Yuan is always worried that in the next second they will take out two red plastic bags from their custom-made luxury clothes and grab elbows.
At this moment, the sound of singing came from outside.
"Young Master Ling Hongbo of the Ling family, I will give you a pound of Pinling tea!"
Gu Yuan subconsciously turned his head and looked outside.
He knew that people from the Ling family would come, but he didn't expect that the person coming would be Ling Hongbo.
The two guests behind him were also amazed by this.
"This Ling family is really generous. My old man doesn't have much of the top-grade spiritual tea. It's like a treasure. It's all sold by Lunke..."
"That's natural. The Ling family's wealth is quite substantial!"
"Speaking of which, isn't it rumored that Ling Hongbo had his arms chopped off? Why is he still coming to the Li family?"
At this moment, another person came up and said with a smile: "I know this. I heard that the Ling family was bleeding heavily this time. They gave a lot of things and invited an A-level pharmacist to help Ling Hongbo break his arm. Reborn, I heard that the medicine man lay in bed for several days after he returned."
When Gu Yuan heard this, his face instantly turned cold.
