Volume 3 Chapter 114: Tong Guan's Birthday Banquet (2)

Sure enough, when Tong Mu heard Zhou Yun's words, his face changed suddenly, and he no longer had the calmness he had before. He wanted to stop him but didn't know how to speak, and looked eagerly at Sun Tu at the end of the banquet.

Although Sun Tu was a little surprised at this time, he quickly recovered and stood up and bowed: Mr. Zhou praised him, the birthday gift given by the lower official was just a little bit of thought and was not worth mentioning at all.

Sun Dutou is too humble. You just said that today's birthday gift will definitely satisfy my uncle. I really want to see it. As he said that, Zhou Yun did not give anyone else time to react, and immediately turned to a slave next to him and ordered: Go and bring Sun Dutou's birthday gift quickly.

The slave agreed and left in a hurry. The other guests looked at Sun Tu behind him in confusion. They didn't know what was special about this, which made Tong Shumi's nephew pay so much attention. Tong Guan didn't stop at this time, but just smiled thoughtfully, and his eyes fell on Tong Mu intentionally or unintentionally.

Soon, the slave had already walked back with a square box of brocade and delivered it to Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun only weighed the size of the box and was even more sure. This little thing was not worth much money even if it was made of gold. Moreover, there were too many gold and silver items collected at home today.

He didn't delay the time, and pulled the brocade packaging wrapped around the box in a few strokes, and then opened the lid. At this time, Tong Mu suddenly said: Slowly. As he spoke, he had quickly stood up and bowed to Tong Guan and said: Uncle, since my cousin showed his birthday gift, he could not hide his grandson, so he should look at his birthday gift first.

OK, what gift did you prepare for me? I was still very satisfied with this promising nephew Tong Guan, and asked immediately as he followed the conversation.

Tong Mu immediately clapped his hands, and saw the third supervisor Tong Rui pulling Tong Yuan's small figure over, holding a scroll in his hand. When Tong Yuan came to the hall, he was not panicked when he saw so many guests. He saluted in a regular manner and said in a slight voice: Grandson celebrates his birthday to his uncle. I wish you a blessing as long as the East China Sea and a long life as the South Mountain.

OK, haha, okay. Seeing that his nephew and grandson performed such a behavior, Tong Guan was very pleased. Seeing that he was happy, Tong Mu took the opportunity to say: In fact, this birthday gift was made by his nephew and Yuan'er. Although it was not as expensive as my cousin's white tiger skin, it was also our wish. As he said that, he nodded to Tong Rui.

The latter understood and then unfolded the scroll in his hand to reveal the contents. These were just two copybooks, and the book was the eight characters of "Tong Yuan's name" just now, as blessed as the East China Sea and the Nanshan Mountain. Moreover, this character looks like nothing, and it is not much different from a child's graffiti.

But none of the guests present showed disdain, but instead praised it: The two young masters of Tong are indeed filial people, and Tong Shuai is indeed blessed. Everyone knows that these two words should have been written by Tong Yuan under the guidance of Tong Mu.

It is rare for a child who is only four or five years old to write these eight characters neatly. Moreover, this copybook is quite large, and it must have taken a lot of time and energy to write it. It must have even failed many times before. This alone is enough to show the filial piety of these two nephews.

Of course, Tong Guan knew this, so he laughed even more happily when he saw it: OK OK OK OK OK OK You two are intent. Among so many birthday gifts today, in addition to the helmet and flags sent by Han Tao, this calligraphy is the most heart-willing thing for me.

As soon as he said this, he pressed a switch. The guests once again praised Tong Mu and his two feelings. Tong Mu blushed when he heard the flattering words. However, Zhou Yun's face turned blue and he felt even more angry. The white tiger skin he had worked hard to get was not as good as these two broken characters. How unfair is it!

The more he was indignant, the more Zhou Yun refused to let Sun Tu go. He opened the box immediately: Let’s see what good things Sun Dutou gave him.

Tong Mu sighed inwardly, can he not change the direction of things when he came out to disturb the situation? The only thing he could feel at ease was that with the lead of his copybook, the gifts given by Sun Tu would not seem too shabby.

At this time, the guests around had already seen the problem. They looked at the box curiously with the attitude of watching the fun, but it was stunned: everyone found that the brocade box was actually another box, a box with a metallic luster and carved with many patterns on it.

Zhou Yun subconsciously wanted to lift the box again, but he couldn't find the lid and felt like he was unable to start, which made him stunned. Seeing this, Sun Tu smiled and walked up to him and said: Tong Shuai is from a poor and has a low status, so he can't bring out much valuable things. Only the treasure that his father found when he went out to sea in his early years was always left by his side. Today, he thought about offering a birthday gift with Tong Shuai, and hoped that Tong Shuai would not be disgusted.

Oh? This box is still a treasure? Tong Guan looked at the box that looked pretty exquisite with interest. I wonder what the name was on it. At least Zhou Yun looked up and down for a while but couldn't tell what it was.

Sun Tu smiled and then stretched out his hand to Zhou Yunyi: Mr. Zhou, let the officials demonstrate to Tong Shuai.

Humph, pretending to be a ghost. Zhou Yun muttered in a low voice, then handed over the box in his hand.

Sun Tu took the box, touched it in the brocade box, took out a small key of the same material, and then inserted the key into the hole on the edge of the box and twisted it hard.

Is there a key? I was wondering why there was a hole in the box? Under the surprise gaze of Zhou Yun and other guests, Sun Tu had finished the movements in his hand. He pulled out the key and a crisp music came out of the box. Then the originally tight top actually cracked. Several small bronze statues rose from the inside, and slowly slid on the top of the box with the sound of music.

That's right, what Sun Tu gave and Tong Guan today was a music box that was very common in later generations. This was found in the No. 6 toy warehouse. But this toy that could tease a three-year-old child in later generations had a magic power beyond imagination when placed a thousand years ago. It made everyone present stare at the box for a long time. Until the song was finished and the bronze statue fell down again, these people were still stunned.

Tong Guan was stunned for a while, then clapped his hands and said: This treasure is really interesting, it is something I have never seen. Hurry up, let me take it carefully.

Sun Tu agreed and handed it over to the servant who came over, and then explained how to tighten the clockwork. Tong Guan immediately tried to put the clockwork again, and then another music came, and the music this time was different from what was just now, which made the people present amazed for a while.

Zhou Yun was stunned at this moment. He really didn't expect Sun Tu to take out such a rare treasure. Tong Mu also opened his mouth for a while and couldn't react. Sun Sanlang actually hid such a trick, and he was still worried about him.

After playing with the music box for a while, Tong Guan smiled with satisfaction: OK, this birthday gift is in line with my heart. Qianli, you are really interested.

Sun Tu hurriedly said a few humble words, but he wondered in his heart, why did Tong Guan’s reaction be so strong? Logically speaking, even if the music box is strange, it cannot compare to those real gold and silver treasures.

He didn't know what this thing meant to Tong Guan, which was a treasure that could please the emperor. Today's officials have always liked novel things, so he would deliberately collect strange stones, grasses, or rare birds and beasts, and even made a flower and stone troupe in Jiangnan. If treasures like the music box were presented to the emperor, Tong Guan would definitely be highly rewarded, and maybe it would determine the emperor's attitude at a critical moment.

So for Tong Guan, among these gifts today, the birthday gift given by Sun Tu is the most expensive, so he is naturally very excited.

Zhou Yunquan didn't expect that he would make Sun Tu show his big face inadvertently. He felt so hatred in his heart, but he could only force his face to smile and said insincerely: Sun Dutou is really capable, and I admire him.

Sun Tu looked at his blue smile and made him laugh, but he still had to be polite. He also replied: In fact, he also depends on Mr. Zhou's help. This is even more annoying.

Afterwards, the birthday party continued until around the third day, when the guests and hosts parted with joy. Sun Tu said goodbye to the already drunk Tong Guan along with everyone, and then left the lobby. Then everyone's eyes were attracted by the abnormality in the sky ahead!
