Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

After Xiao Zirong made jokes with Xiao Xuexing, he revealed the matter. To be honest, if he didn't pretend that he didn't realize that his IQ didn't fit his personality, he really wanted to pretend to be stupid.

Anyway, he is quite willing to take root in Xiao Xuexing's room, but does it matter what Xiao Xuexing is for?It's not important.

It's a pity that in order not to expose himself, he needs to show appropriate doubts, and then show absolute trust in Xiao Xuexing.

It's also really hard to keep from being attracted while hiding your feelings.

After lunch, Xiao Zirong began to prepare for entering the palace to receive the banquet. Although the real New Year's banquet would not be until dark, he still had to meet Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ji first.

Especially dresses are not easy to wear. Winter dresses are the most difficult to wear.

The only thing he was lucky about now was that he didn't need to wear a tuxedo to receive the banquet, otherwise he would just go in and sit there as if he were a puppet, and he would feel tired even if he moved.

When he walked out of the room, Xiao Xuexing was already waiting for him outside. Unlike the white fur collar on his dress, Xiao Xuexing used a pure black fur collar, the kind that would reflect light, matched with his Face, more and more people feel unattainable.

Xiao Xuexing looked Xiao Zirong up and down, hiding the surprise in his eyes very well.

The former boy already has the appearance of an adult, compared to the exquisiteness at that time, now he has more edges and corners, but his eyes are as clean and pure as before.

Xiao Xuexing touched his hand and asked, "Is it cold?"

Xiao Zirong said with a smile: "Wearing so many layers, it's not bad if it's not hot, but it's still cold, hey, the dress is really awkward."

Nowadays, most of the clothes are loose, and there are very few ones that fit well, but in order to make people look energetic, the dresses are just right from the shoulders to the waist, as if they frame people in a frame, which makes Xiao Zirong a lot Somewhat uncomfortable.

Xiao Xuexing sent him to the car and said: "It's okay, if you feel uncomfortable after the banquet is halfway through, you can come back first."

Xiao Zirong laughed: "Uncle might scold you when he hears it."

He found that Xiao Xuexing was pampering him more and more now, when he was just picked up back then, he was really young and never received such treatment.

Xiao Xuexing said firmly: "If you really feel uncomfortable, His Majesty will not mind."

Xiao Zirong didn't say a word, but he made up his mind to keep it until the end. He can't come back once a year. If he is really a marginal figure, it's fine. But seeing his posture at the beginning, I'm afraid many people want to take the opportunity talk to him.

Xiao Zirong himself didn't care, but he was afraid of causing trouble for his brother.

In the eyes of many people, he was under the cover of the Prince Regent at the beginning. When he becomes stronger and stronger in the future, these people may think that he and the Prince Regent are on the same front. Snow on the head.

Xiao Zirong was thinking about who he needed to talk to at the banquet, and who he didn't need to talk to too much. Fortunately, he and Xiao Xuexing still had to be scrupulous and couldn't ride in the same car again, otherwise Xiao Xuexing might think that he wanted it again. too much.

The Prince Regent's Mansion is not far from the palace, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, according to the rules, he should get out of the carriage and walk in, but Xiao Xuan felt sorry for him and didn't want him to walk outside in the cold, so he let the carriage enter the palace directly.

When they arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Zirong bowed to Xiao Xuan: "I see Your Majesty."

It's rare for him to be so formal, every move is in compliance with the norms, and even the salute is smooth and smooth with an indescribable beauty.

Xiao Xuan watched his nephew gradually grow up, and the smile on his face was more than usual.

"That's enough, it's all my family, there's no need to be so grand, come and watch."

Xiao Zirong lifted the hem of his clothes, sat down calmly and said with a smile: "That's not okay, I'm really going back to Beijing to see you, what should be done must be done properly."

Since His Majesty had to report what he had done recently, Xiao Zirong had prepared all kinds of documents long ago, and asked someone to bring them up directly.

Xiao Xuan was stunned when he saw those documents: "What are these?"

Xiao Zirong explained: "It's the summary of Jinling's work in the past six months, and part of it is the minister's plan. Because it was done in a hurry at the beginning, it may not be perfect, so I bring it here and ask Your Majesty and the Regent to correct it."

When Xiao Zirong said that, he blinked at Xiao Xuexing beside him.

Xiao Xuexing felt helpless when he saw his serious appearance.

Xiao Xuan was surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Zirong to take all these things. Generally, the princes and kings will report to them unless they make a big move. They basically don't care about what the center usually does. They are afraid that too much attention will make the princes and kings feel rebellious. It's bad if something happens.

Like Xiao Zirong who took the initiative to report the matter, Xiao Xuan reckoned that this was probably the first since the founding of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

His nephew is really open-minded, earning money is open-minded, killing people is open-minded, and managing fiefdoms is even more open-minded.

Xiao Xuan put the document aside and said, "I'll read it when I have time, and don't think too much about it. You should play and rest during Zhengdan."

Only then did Xiao Zirong remember that in Zhengdan these days, the writing is basically sealed for six days, and the seal is not released until the sixth day starts to work. During this period, everyone does not work.

Hey, that's good too, he finally has a reason to be aboveboard.

Xiao Zirong smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just think I should show it to my uncle. Uncle can watch it at any time. Anyway, some of them have already started, and it's too late for you to object."

Xiao Xuan scolded with a smile: "Little Poppi, who did you learn your scoundrel spirit from?"

Xiao Zirong laughed and said, "You can learn without a teacher."

"What did you learn without a teacher?" Xiao Ji's voice sounded from outside.

Xiao Zirong turned his head to look over and found that not only was he here, Huan'er was also brought here by him.

Xiao Zirong ran over happily when he saw Huan'er: "Baby Huan'er!"

Huan'er recognized him and ran over happily.

Because it was winter, the children wore a lot of clothes and they were short, so Huan'er ran around like a little penguin.

Xiao Zirong picked up Xiaotuanzi and asked, "Does Huan'er miss Tang Shu?"

Huan'er hugged Xiao Zirong's neck and said loudly, "I want to!"

"Good baby!" Xiao Zirong kissed him, then took out a kitten made of colored glass from his sleeve and stuffed it to Huan'er, saying, "Take it and play."

The kitten was made to curl up to sleep, it was so lifelike and cute, Huan'er happily accepted it, kissed Xiao Zirong and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tang."

Xiao Zirong also kissed his tender cheeks and sat down while holding him.

Xiao Ji on the side looked at Xiao Zirong sadly and said: "My son forgot his father as soon as he saw you!"

Xiao Zirong blinked at him and said, "That's right, our baby kisses me, don't be jealous, I brought you something too, let your son play with me for a while."

Xiao Ji was a little surprised: "What?"

Xiao Zirong took out a small lacquer box from his sleeve, handed it to him and threw it to him directly, saying: "For you, don't ask me for New Year's gifts during the Chinese New Year."

Xiao Ji caught the box in a hurry. The lacquer box was very beautifully made, and the mother-of-pearl and inlaid gold and silver craftsmanship were perfectly combined. Because the box is small, you can tell that it took a long time for a powerful craftsman to make it.

Xiao Ji knew in his heart that the things contained in such a box must be of great value, but he still deliberately said: "Such a small thing will send me away?"

Xiao Zirong made funny faces at Xiao Ji while teasing Huaner: "Yes, do you want love or not."

Xiao Ji snorted: "Let me take a look first."

Both Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xuexing were curious about what Xiao Zirong gave Xiao Ji, such a small box could be worth the New Year's gift.

Although according to their relationship, it doesn't matter whether they have the annual gift or not, but it is a courtesy and cannot be missing.

There are even regulations on the value of the gifts. It is impossible for Xiao Zirong not to know about this matter.

Even if he had no money, it was impossible for Xiao Xuexing to let him send Xiao Ji away with worthless things.

Xiao Ji fiddled with the box for a long time and said with a confused face: "How do you open this?"

He could see a gap in the box, but he couldn't find where the opening was. After trying for a long time, he couldn't open it, and he didn't dare to use brute force.

But before Xiao Zirong could make a move, Xiao Xuexing raised his chin and said, "Press the pearl on it."

Xiao Ji observed it curiously, and then pressed the half-bead inlaid on the lacquer box, the box popped open instantly, Xiao Ji muttered: "It's still quite mysterious."

After the box was opened, they saw a rectangular card-like thing inside.

The card was transparent on one side and dark blue on the other, with the moon on top and snow-capped mountains on the bottom, with something shiny in the middle.

After Xiao Ji picked it up, he realized that the card was a bit thick, and it seemed like there was water in it. Those shiny things were like snowflakes, and they would shake when he picked it up.

Xiao Ji turned the card upside down, and the snowflake-like sequins inside also slowly fell down, as if a snow had fallen inside that small card.

He turned the card over and found that in the middle of the back was a picture of a wolf's head with snowflakes, a number was engraved on one side of the lower left and right corners, and four words were engraved on the other side: Yuxu Trading Company.

Xiao Ji asked with some surprise: "Yuxu Firm? Isn't this the firm you opened recently?"

Xiao Zirong nodded and said, "Yes, this is the membership card of the firm."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows: "I know you issued a gold card, but this card is different from the one you issued, right?"

Xiao Zirong came back, although he hasn't seen anyone else yet, but the New Year's gift is always coming, so the gift list has actually been delivered in advance.

This time, his annual gift included the gold card of Yuxu Trading Company, but not many people got the gold card, so only Sangong got it.

The gold card is limited in number of years, and a gold card is only valid for one year. If the consumption amount of this year does not meet the requirements of the gold card, it will be automatically downgraded to a silver card.

So Xiao Zirong's gift of the gold card is generous and generous, but it will not shake the foundation of Yuxu Trading Company.

However, this card in Xiao Xuan's hand is obviously much more delicate than that gold card, and it doesn't even need anti-counterfeiting, because the liquid inside is specially made by Xiao Zirong, and others can't match it at all, it looks like oil but not oil, like water but not water.

Of course, it is impossible for the person who can get his card to break the card just to counterfeit it.

Xiao Zirong said with a smile: "This is a crystal card, only our family has it. It's unique. Don't lose it. It's very troublesome to make!"

When Xiao Ji heard this sentence, he turned his head to look at Xiao Xuexing and asked curiously: "Ah Xing, is yours the same as mine?"

Xiao Xuexing gave Xiao Zirong a deep look and said, "Me? I don't."
