According to the rules of wealthy families, if Li Xiang came to the Changsun family to give gifts, as long as he did not mention any names, then these things would belong to Changsun Wuji. But now Qian Ping, the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace, specially took out two other gifts, which were specifically for Changsun Chong and Changsun Pinting.
Coming from modern society, Li Xiang naturally understood what it meant that courtesy is always welcome. While it was important to conquer Zhangsun Wuji, his two children were his right-hand men. How could he not put in some effort on them?
Chang Sun Chong is a martial arts fanatic!
He particularly liked fighting on horseback, so the gift Li Xiang sent was very simple, which was two imperial horses.
In this era, the imperial horses bestowed by the emperor were extremely precious. Even for a nobleman like Chang Sun Chong, they were extremely rare. When Chang Sun Chong saw these two horses, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. He was just finding fault with Li Xiang, but now he was looking forward to Li Xiang coming earlier so that he could thank him in person.
Chang Sun Chong had always been a supporter of Wei Wang Li Tai. Seeing him like this, Wei Wang Li Tai's heart skipped a beat. He had originally thought that even if Li Xiang won in the court, it would be useless. Without his uncle's support, that kid couldn't make any waves. But now Chang Sun Chong's performance...
Can this still support myself?
As for Changsun Pingting next to her, she was even more surprised. The thing Li Xiang gave was the same as the one he gave to Wang De. It was just a small mirror worth one yuan in modern society, but in this era, this thing was a rare treasure.
When Changsun Pingting saw her beautiful face in the mirror, even though she was usually very careful, she screamed out loud.
"Sister, what on earth is this? It's so clear, isn't this me?"
Others were too embarrassed to go over and see what was going on. What could have made the usually steady Miss Changsun laugh out loud in front of everyone? But Changsun Chong didn't care about that and quickly took the small mirror from Changsun Pingting's hand.
Changsun Wuji glanced to the side. Even though he was knowledgeable, he had never seen such a clear mirror.
Not to mention their Changsun family, even old and established families like the royal family and the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Clans did not have anything similar. At this moment, this thing surpassed all the treasures. Even if there was a mountain of gold and silver, there was probably no way to ask Changsun Pingting to exchange it.
Many wealthy families can produce mountains of gold and silver, but can they produce this small mirror? As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. When something like this is extremely rare in the world, it becomes the best treasure.
Li Xiang’s first small mirror was in the newcomer gift package, and the second one was exchanged from the system mall. The exchange price was extremely cheap, one cent each, but according to Li Xiang’s current level, he could only exchange ten per day.
"Bring it to me. If you drop this thing, I'll kill your horse and bleed it."
Changsun Pingting snatched the small mirror and looked at it carefully again and again, fearing that it would be broken by her reckless brother. The people around were also shocked to see this scene. Miss Changsun is usually known for her gentleness and elegance. What happened today?
Of course, this is understandable. After all, such a treasure is hard to come by. There may be only one such piece in the whole world. If it is really broken, you don’t know where to get it back.
King Li Tai of Wei felt like he was about to suffocate. If the current situation continued to develop, that kid had already bribed his uncle's right-hand men before he even arrived. Would he still have a chance of winning?
"I'll take it."
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and sent these eunuchs from the East Palace back. At the same time, he looked at his two children, which made the two of them sweat profusely. This was the first time for the two of them to lose their composure in front of so many people. After all, Changsun Wuji had strict family education.
Of course, because this small mirror is normal, Changsun Wuji took a glance at it. If there weren't so many people here, Changsun Wuji would also want to take it and study what was going on.
After the eunuchs of the Eastern Palace left, the sound of gongs could be heard from afar. Li Xiang should have arrived by now. Today, Li Xiang had used such a grand ceremony. Although Changsun Wuji did not need to go out to greet him in person, his two children had to go out, otherwise it would seem too arrogant.
Etiquette was not so important in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Xiang led such a long guard of honor. If the Changsun family did not express anything, it would be a bit unreasonable. Changsun Chong and his sister frowned. Should they kowtow to this kid in front of so many people?
Although royal etiquette required this, the brother and sister had always interacted with royal family members, just like when they saw Prince Wei and Li Tai just now, they did not show much reaction. But Li Xiang made this matter too formal today.
"Why is the sound of the gong getting farther and farther away?"
Chang Sun Chong was the first to notice something was wrong. He had heard it clearly just now, but now for some reason it seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and when he finished speaking, the sound of the gong had disappeared.
"Your Highness, please..."
This was the voice of the Changsun family's chief steward. Li Xiang actually went to the intersection and asked his men to drive back.
"you……"
When he saw Li Xiang, King Li Tai of Wei was so angry that his stomach hurt. "You kid really knows how to play tricks. You alarmed the whole city just to let everyone know that you came to visit Changsun Wuji, but when they arrived at the door, you asked these people to go back. You let the whole city know about this, but did not embarrass Changsun Chong and his sister. This plan was really terrible. The three people from the Changsun family looked at each other.
"Greetings to my uncle, my cousin, and my aunt. Uncle, you're here early! Could it be that the food at my uncle's house is so delicious that you can't wait?"
King Li Tai of Wei was waiting for Li Xiang to pay his respects, but who knew that this kid would just straighten up.
"What's the point of you being so clever? Do you think your uncle can't see what you're doing?"
Li Tai said viciously. He felt a little suffocated at the moment. Li Xiang had gone too far in this matter, but it had nothing to do with him. After all, the person who was visiting was Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji hadn't said anything yet. You are just an invited guest. Do you want to take over the show?
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly. The fight started before the meal, especially this kid Li Xiang. He gave me such a big surprise before the meal, letting the world know that you treat my Changsun family with great courtesy, so I can't treat you poorly. You kid is plotting, trying to force me to support you, or at least not to make me your enemy.
