Chapter 21 (1/2)

Li Hong beckoned. Xiaoxue and Xiaohan, who had been waiting for a long time, came in first with a gift box, followed by Jingzhe and cheetah. They both carried a box together. It seemed that the contents were quite heavy.

Li Yifu looked at Li Hong's intimate maid and eunuch, came in carrying the gift box, and said a word in Xu Jingzong's ear with a smile. Xu Jingzong looked clear and surprised.

”It takes so much trouble to find out what kind of thing it is.” Wu Mei looks at the gift box and asks. She is still full of curiosity and expectation for the gift of the ghost spirit. I'm afraid this little thing gave her a gift, just like others. I'm looking forward to a surprise for her.

The courtiers had just seen Li Hong's resourcefulness and bravery. Up to now, they still have a lot of doubts about the scene of washing hands in the oil pan. No one knows why the Daiwang's hand is OK. The hand of the West Turkic Khan was scalded when he reached in. I'm afraid he will be disabled if he doesn't get rid of it.

At the moment, watching Li Hong present a gift to his mother's empress, one by one was very curious. They all wanted to see what kind of unique gift the king of this generation would give his mother.

Li Hong asks Xiaoxue to put the gift box on Lizhi's desk table first. Yang Wu, next to Lizhi, has already learned to be good. He dares to check the gifts of other princesses and princesses according to the rules, and then give them to his majesty or queen.

However, he didn't dare to investigate the gift of the king. The king was famous for his revenge. At first, he kicked himself and hurt his foot. Then he attracted the king's revenge for three or four months. During that period, he was not short of money. What's more, the shocking scene of taking money from the oil pot just now made him respect the acting king from his heart, and at the same time, it also gave birth to a trace of fear.

So Yang Wu opened his eyes and closed his eyes, as if he had forgotten the rules of guarding the emperor and empress. He stood upright and watched the king himself open the gift box placed on his Majesty's desk.

Xiaoxue cleverly picked up a good red sandalwood good slotted screen shelf on the desk, and then Li Hong laboriously took out a piece of green jade insert screen from the gift box. In Lizhi's surprise eyes, Xiaoxue helped Li Hongan put it on the shelf.

”Oh, it's reversed.” Li Hong looked at the front and back of the screen, scratched his head and said.

Li Zhi was smiling. He did not wait for him to adjust the insertion screen. He saw a poem engraved on the front of the screen. He could not help but read: ”the ancient stone is fragrant, the famous man's bone is green pine and cypress is the emperor's heart.”

”Ha ha, good. It's rare that hong'er has such a heart! It's rare, but I don't know what this stone is? ” Li Zhilong's heart is open, and the pines and cypresses are used to describe people's noble quality and firm integrity. They are included in a poem by the little guy. It's really appropriate to use this screen insert to describe them.

Wu Mei is also moving her eyebrows. Looking at the green and green without a bit of motley color, it's a surprise to see that the little guy's gift is really original.

The officials knew little about malachite, including the western countries. At the moment, they were surprised to see such a beautiful green stone, even no less than jade, and murmured: ”this is a rare treasure.”

Li Hong chuckled and opened the small box on Wu Mei's case table, and said to Wu Mei with a fawning face: ”empress mother, today is your happy day. Naturally, your son's ministers will be partial and send you one more piece. These are some jewelry made for you with malachite. Don't underestimate the efficacy of malachite. It is said that Dr. Sun Simiao once praised this Malachite as a perfect accessory for women to keep their face beautiful and slow down their skin aging. Your children have seen this saying in an ancient book, so you must always wear it. ”

Li Hong held on to the jewelry inside, such as several necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, heart-shaped jade pendants, rings inlaid with malachite, earrings and so on. Li Yifu has made several pairs of accessories that women like.

It's no secret that Wu Mei likes green and red. Seeing these Malachite jewelry, I am naturally happy to not close my mouth. I take out one of them from time to time in full view of the public, and then carefully put them away and give them to the maid in the palace.

Then Li Hong chuckled and said, ”although the malachite is rare in Chang'an and Luoyang, please believe me, it is not more rare than jade, even more difficult than jade. I asked Li Yifu to look for it for a long time. It cost me a lot of money. ”

Li Yifu secretly gave a thumbs up to Li Hong. The king of this generation is really clever. He began to sell Malachite shops ready to open. He would bet that many ministers would ask him where to sell the malachite.

Li Hong looked at many of the ministers and turned their eyes to Li Yifu one after another. He knew in his heart that his goal had been achieved. The advertising effect was really instant.

As the saying goes: gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. At the moment, although wars often broke out in the border areas of the Tang Dynasty, after decades of recuperation and recuperation, people in Guanzhong and other places with a large number of people have been able to provide food and clothing for the people. As a result, there has been a market for antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Then there is the big advertisement that Li Hong wants to do today, that piece of natural Malachite that is pure and natural to the extreme.Instead of taking the malachite out of the huge gift box, Li Hong ordered cheetahs and stinging insects to open the lid of the gift box first under Wu Mei and Li Zhi, so that the officials could see the uncanny workmanship of nature at the first time.

The lid of the gift box was taken away by stung and cheetah. People stretched their necks to look inside. Even Li Zhi and Wu Mei leaned forward slightly to see what kind of Malachite it was.
