Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Zirong are actually relatively close, after all, they have slept together, but usually it is Xiao Xuexing who takes the initiative to join Xiao Zirong, and Xiao Zirong does not reject it.

Now Xiao Zirong suddenly came over and gave him a big hug, and when he said he liked it, his eyes were brighter than when he watched the fireworks just now, and his voice was also very sweet.

Xiao Xuexing was so fascinated on the spot that he almost turned into a "faint king", wishing that he would give his brother whatever he wanted.

Xiao Zirong hugged him and quickly backed away. He still remembered that Ling Fu said casually before that Xiao Xuexing prefers to be clean and doesn't like to get too close to people.

Xiao Zirong felt that he was already an exception, and if it was someone else, he would have been thrown out at this time.

After his younger brother retreated, Xiao Xuexing came back to his senses with some regrets, why didn't he hug him for a while, although his younger brother was afraid of the cold, his body was actually very warm, like a small stove, so comfortable to hold in winter.

However, he was rather reserved, he obviously wanted to hug him but he didn't say anything, he just looked at Xiao Zirong with a smile and said, "It's fine if you like it."

Of course Xiao Zirong liked it. First of all, these ice sculptures were very valuable, which was enough for him to like them. Secondly, Xiao Xuexing prepared them carefully.

Just like Xiao Xuexing, he has been lonely for too long, and he has long forgotten what it is like to be cared about and taken to heart.

So before he didn't believe that Xiao Xuexing was really kind to him, nor did he believe that others would be kind to him.

He would only analyze their entanglements indifferently from the standpoint of their identities.

Now he already knew that Xiao Xuexing treated him sincerely, but he never thought that a word he said casually would be taken seriously by the other party.

A new year is called a new year when the family spends it together.

Xiao Zirong happily ran to the east and west to look around, and asked with some doubts while looking: "Is the crystal so big?"

He doesn't know much about crystals, and he doesn't want to look through the information in his mind now, but he remembers that in his impression, crystals don't seem to be particularly large, and crystal products are generally not particularly large - except for artificial crystals.

Xiao Xue walked over and said: "No, none of them are very big. I asked someone to find them and they are of similar quality and spliced ​​together."

Xiao Zirong gasped when he heard this, and after a careful look, he saw very subtle splicing marks on the crystal. The craftsman was very clever and old, so he hid all the splicing marks, either between the folds of the clothes, or On the accessories of the characters, anyway, you can't see it unless you look carefully.

And I don't know what method they used. There is no special reflection on the splicing surface under the light.

This is not just a matter of manpower and material resources. One can imagine the painstaking efforts spent splicing pieces of crystal into a large statue.

Especially not for a long time.

When Xiao Zirong was thinking about this, Xiao Xuexing said with some regret: "There are only so many crystals of similar quality that can be found, otherwise we should be able to get a few more."

Xiao Zirong quickly waved his hands: "No need, these are pretty good looking."

He didn't even dare to ask Xiao Xuexing how much he spent. High-quality crystals were hard to come by. He still remembered seeing a crystal cup from the Warring States Period in his later years.

Although the crystal cup is also transparent, there are actually some impurities in it. Seriously speaking, it should be considered translucent, but it is already a boutique of that era.

The ones that Xiao Xuexing found are not to mention completely transparent, and there are not many impurities, and they are also hidden by craftsmen using technology, so you can't see them unless you look carefully.

Xiao Zirong reckoned that even if he sold him, he might not be able to buy this statue.

Before, he always thought that the most valuable thing in Taoyuan City was the salt factory, and later he had to include the glass workshop.

But now it seems that the most valuable has already become his City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Zirong looked east and west, but he couldn't bear to go back.

It was Xiao Xuexing who called Xiao Zirong back to eat dumplings when he saw that it was almost time for dumplings.

Oh, dumplings are Xiao Zirong’s name, or in other words, there are only wontons but no dumplings these days. This way of eating is probably his first.

It's just that things like dumplings have already taken shape.

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong looked at the statues with some reluctance.

It was rare for Xiao Xuexing to see such a childish expression on his face, so he couldn't help pinching his face and said: "Okay, these are all yours, if you want to see them tomorrow, you can go back first."

It's cold outside, so it's okay for a while, but after a long time, he worries that the wolf fur coat won't be able to keep warm completely, so it's better to go back.

Xiao Zirong nodded obediently, and followed Xiao Xuexing back.

When going back, Xiao Xuexing bent down and picked up a small statue from the ground, shook it in front of Xiao Zirong and said, "Take this back and put it here."

This small statue is not big, or not very tall. It is carved with a cub who does not know whether it is a wolf or a dog.

The whole statue is lifelike, not inferior to J's craftsmanship at all, very cute.

Xiao Zirong immediately fell in love with the statue, and stretched out his hand to take it, saying, "This is beautiful."

However, Xiao Xuexing didn't give it to him, instead he gave it to Ling Fu who was beside him and said: "Don't take it, cool."

Xiao Zirong glanced at the statue again, and asked a little strangely, "Does brother like dogs? Why did you choose this one?"

Xiao Xuexing glanced at him with a smile: "It's not a dog, it's a wolf. I raised a little wolf cub before, it's very cute."

Xiao Zirong was a little curious: "Wolf cub? How did it come here? What happened afterwards?"

Xiao Xuexing said: "I met it while hunting. The people under my command killed its mother. I saw it was pitiful and took it back. Later... I put it back."

Xiao Zirong asked: "Why did you put it back? Are you not familiar with it?"

Xiao Xuexing shook his head and said, "No, it's very obedient. I don't have time to take care of it. Instead of trapping it in the backyard, it's better to let it go back."

At that time, it happened that Xiao Luan rebelled, and the situation was turbulent. As Xiao Yu's adopted son, although he was not related by blood, he was still in danger.

At that time, all the loyal people around him had accidents one after another, Xiao Xuexing dismissed everyone immediately, and there was no one left in his family, not even a waiter.

The little wolf cub was not too young at that time, and had a certain hunting ability.

Xiao Xuexing was worried that if something happened to him, the little guy might die, so he let his servants take him into the mountain.

Later, the little wolf cub came back to look for him, but he shut the door. He still remembers the little wolf cub squatting and whimpering outside the door.

When Xiao Xuexing was cruel, he was really cruel, he let the little wolf cub wander outside and didn't let it in, and even sent someone to take it away and throw it out.

Maybe it was after that time that the little wolf cub realized that he was really abandoned and never came back to look for him.

Xiao Xuexing is not a person who keeps everything in his heart. Xiao Zirong doesn't mention it if he doesn't say it. Since he asked him, he just said it again.

After Xiao Zirong heard it, he regretted it very much, and felt that he should not mention the other party's sad things during the Chinese New Year.

Xiao Xuexing smiled when he saw his frown: "Don't worry, it's over."

He said it lightly, but Xiao Zirong felt a little distressed.

It has reached the point where all the small animals around him have to be thrown away, how lonely and helpless Xiao Xuexing must be at that time?

As a result, under such circumstances, he was stunned to make a comeback, and it cannot be said that he was not strong.

But this didn't stop Xiao Zirong from feeling sorry for him.

Xiao Zirong said: "It...it will definitely live well, so don't worry about it."

Xiao Xuexing let it go: "I didn't worry too much. At that time, it was better to be in the mountains than by my side. Maybe I have so much fate with it, so I can't force it."

He is very contradictory. Sometimes he doesn't believe in his fate and fights desperately, but sometimes he is very resigned.

He is very resigned to wolf cubs, or in terms of feelings, he is very resigned, if they get along, they come and if they don't, they part.

The only thing he has been obsessed with over the years is Xiao Zirong.

After the two entered the inner room, Xiao Zirong took off his fur coat, and asked someone to put the wolf cub into the study room. Anyway, he and Xiao Xuexing share the study room now, although they knew it was wrong, but both of them were used to it .

Xiao Zirong felt that he had nothing to hide from Xiao Xuexing, and Xiao Xuexing wanted to influence Xiao Zirong through these political affairs, so neither of them talked about moving.

After sitting down, when it was almost time to eat, the dumplings had already been cooked and served. Anyway, there was only a little dumpling, so Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Zirong simply ate without division, but sat side by side and prepared to eat a little.

Xiao Xuexing looked at the pile of seasonings in front of him with some surprise: "This is a new way of eating."

Xiao Zirong smiled and said, "Come and eat, it's delicious."

He also worked hard on the dumpling stuffing, and made the three fresh stuffing, but because the leek tastes strong, and it seems to be a bit irritating to the stomach, anyway, Xiao Zirong is prone to stomach acid when eating leeks, so he didn't use leeks at all, just pure meat and shrimp And eggs, great with a little green onion and ginger for seasoning.

Xiao Zirong nodded with satisfaction after taking a sip, dipped in a little vinegar and soy sauce, it tasted even more delicious.

It's a pity that there is no chili. It would be more delicious if there is some chili oil.

Xiao Zirong ate a few happily and didn't move his chopsticks very much. The New Year's banquet that just ended didn't have a big belly.

Xiao Xuexing also ate two of them meaningfully, as long as there is a symbolic meaning.

As a result, he couldn't help frowning when he ate the second one, as if he ate something that wasn't right.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Zirong quickly asked, "Did you eat something? Spit it out."

He stretched out his hand to pick it up while talking, according to Xiao Xuexing's habit, it's very indecent to spit out something after eating, so he wouldn't spit it out as long as it wasn't particularly hard to swallow.

Today's... is a little too special, he hesitated for a moment and pushed Xiao Zirong's hand away, then lowered his head and vomited on the dinner plate.

After spitting it out, he realized that what he just ate was a gold cake in the shape of a peach blossom.

He looked at Xiao Zirong with some surprises, and then heard Xiao Zirong say beamingly: "You have won the lottery, congratulations, you will be lucky in the coming year, everything goes well, and all wishes come true!"

Xiao Xuexing:? ? ? ?What is this all about?
