Now that Yun Aotian has taken the initiative to speak softly, it would be really foolish for Lei Xiaoluo and Yun Xi'er to leave.
"It's okay to stay. But grandpa must promise me. No one is allowed to take the opportunity to ridicule Xiaolei." Yun Xi'er swept his beautiful big eyes over the faces of the three siblings Yun Jianguo, Yun Jianshe and Yun Jianmei. . Said: "If anyone makes bad remarks about him and uses them to elevate others, I will leave here immediately and never come back."
Yun Xi'er believed that a man of Yun Aotian's age would not embarrass Lei Xiaoluo since he was allowed to stay. Those cousins, as the third generation of the Yun family, would not be embarrassed in front of the old man and the Lin family. Naturally, they will not make mistakes.
Only the three brothers and sisters Yun Jianguo. They must be the main force attacking Lei Xiaoluo.
Don't tell me. The three of them really thought so. They wanted to embarrass Lei Xiaoluo at the wine table and take the opportunity to promote Lin Ziyu.
Of course it felt uncomfortable to have the conspiracy exposed. But the three brothers and sisters were very thick-skinned. They looked at each other as if nothing was wrong.
"Okay, grandpa, that's all." Yun Aotian agreed.
A group of people walked into the main hall. There were three tables inside. Yun Aotian sat at the main seat of the middle table and asked Yun Xi'er to sit on his left. Lei Xiaoluo sat down next to Yun Xi'er.
On the right side of the old man are Lin Ziyu and Lin Hougen and their son. Opposite are Yun Jianguo, Yun Jianshe and his wife. Then there are Yun Jianmei and his wife.
The third generation of the Yun family sat at the two tables nearby. The servants began to serve the food. Soon the three tables were filled.
The quality of the food is still relatively high. Although there are no ridiculously expensive things like shark fins and abalone, it is still a table of delicious delicacies.
Although the three Yun brothers and sisters did not attack Lei Xiaoluo with words, the three of them looked at him with contempt from time to time, as if they were looking at a clown.
Yun Aotian turned a blind eye to this.
After drinking for three rounds, Lin Hougen winked at his son.
Lin Ziyu understood. He took out a small black box from his pocket and handed it to Yun Aotian with a smile: "This is a little bit of my heart from this junior. Please accept it, Grandpa Yun."
Yun Aotian took the box without thinking. He opened it and saw a beautifully made snuff bottle inside.
"What a wonderful workmanship. This should be something from the Qianlong period. It's really rare." Yun Aotian liked this gift very much.
"Grandpa Yun has such a good eye. This is indeed something from the Qianlong period. It is also used by the emperor. I got it from an antique collector in Yingguo. He also liked it very much and was reluctant to part with it." Lin Zi Yu said with a smile.
"You guys should also take a look." Yun Aotian handed the snuff bottle to Yun Jianguo's hand.
The purpose of his doing this was simply to let his three children praise Lin Ziyu. The old man promised Yun Xi'er that no one would make fun of Lei Xiaoluo, but he never said that no one would praise Lin Ziyu.
Of course the three brothers and sisters knew what the old man meant. Yun Jianguo didn't even look at the snuff bottle carefully before he said: "It is indeed a good thing. Ziyu is really thoughtful. I know that the old man likes ancient gadgets."
"Ziyu was able to find such a complete snuff bottle from the British. It shows that he is not only a young man with good taste, but also has good vision. If it were someone else, he would not be able to tell whether it was genuine or fake. He would be easily fooled. ." Yun Jianshe's praise was more straightforward.
"Haha. Xiaolin is really..."
Lin Ziyu was immediately praised as a flower by the three brothers and sisters. This made Yun Xier very angry.
Lei Xiaoluo pretended to be asking for advice humbly and said, "Can you also open my eyes? I have never seen anything the emperor used."
"Show him." Yun Aotian nodded in agreement.
I've never seen anything used by the emperor. I'm just kidding. Isn't the jade talisman for mobilizing troops something that the emperor used. After all, Wu Sangui was also a man who once proclaimed himself emperor. I don't know how many of the emperor's royal items were in his treasure.
The snuff bottle is made of enamel and the workmanship is particularly exquisite.
"Brother Lin, how can you tell it's from the Qianlong period?" Lei Xiaoluo asked.
Lin Ziyu felt that this was a good opportunity to show off his talents. He replied: "The first thing is to look at the shape of the snuff bottles. The shapes of snuff bottles in different dynasties are different; the second thing is to look at the material. In different dynasties, the color of the enamel is There are slight differences; the third is to look at the bottom. It has the words Qianlong Year System written on it..."
"Oh. Then I can just read the words below. There is no need to look at the shape and material of the device." Lei Xiaoluo said very bachelorly: "Since this thing is a royal object, it must have been when the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned the Old Summer Palace. It was stolen, right? I don’t know how much Brother Lin spent to buy it back. I would say that they stole it from our Yanhuang Kingdom. They should just snatch it back instead of spending money to buy it. That’s it Like if I took something from Brother Lin and you want it back, do you have to spend money and say good words to buy it back?"
Lin Ziyu's face immediately turned the color of pig liver. How could he know whether this thing was snatched away by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces? But it was indeed bought with money. And at a high price.
Yun Aotian originally liked this snuff bottle. After listening to Lei Xiaoluo's words, he didn't think it tasted good.
"Haha. I didn't hesitate to spend the gift I gave you just now. Let me give you another one. An authentic product from the Yanhuang Kingdom." Lei Xiaoluo spread his palms, and a green emerald finger ring appeared in his palm.
"The water is yellow and the sun is green." Yun Xi'er said in a calm tone: "Grandpa, the material of this finger puller is a higher level than the jade talisman for mobilizing troops. If you like it, you should accept it. Otherwise, Xiao Lei will take it again. Smash it. He has such a personality. As long as he takes out something, he will never take it back."
Yun Aotian didn't want to accept it at first. After listening to his granddaughter's words, he thought that just smashing the jade talisman for mobilizing troops was already a waste of natural resources. Wouldn't it be even more of a pity to smash it again.
"Then I'll accept it without mercy." Yun Aotian took the jade ring and put it together with the snuff bottle.
Lei Xiaoluo and Lin Ziyu had a draw.
Of course, Lei Xiaoluo would not be willing to settle for a tie. He smiled and took out a platinum necklace with a heart-shaped jade pendant on it. The material of the pendant was obviously one level higher than that of a finger ring. It was an emperor level. emerald.
"Emperor green." Yun Aotian exclaimed.
"Xi'er, this is for you. Do you like it?" Lei Xiaoluo asked softly.
"What a beautiful necklace. I like it." Yun Xi'er said happily: "Can you put it on for me?"
After saying that, she turned around and faced Lei Xiaoluo.
"Of course." Lei Xiaoluo carefully put the necklace on her swan-like jade neck, not caring about other people's eyes.
