Don’t Show the Son

  Chapter 52 Lin Xiu’s Gift

  Xue Ning’er’s grandfather was the third-class prince of Daxia, and Yongping Hou was a first-class marquis. His title was only one rank lower than him. The grandpa of the Hou’s mansion gave the gift personally, which was considered very important.

   Xue Ning'er is the focus of tonight, and most of the young people attending the banquet tonight are also surrounded by her.

At this time, a young man took out a palm-sized, square brocade box from his sleeve, held it in both hands, and handed it to Xue Ning'er, saying: "Ning'er, this is the moon pearl I sent from the Western Regions. I gave it to Xue Ning'er. Your birthday gift."

  He opened the brocade box, and an object that looked like a pearl and was bigger than a dove egg was lying in the brocade box, glowing with faint fluorescence.

  Although there is a concierge room at the entrance of Xue Mansion, most people will put their gifts there before entering the door, but some people give gifts that are extremely precious, and they want to give Xue Ning'er in person, and they can also show their faces in front of everyone.

  The person who took out the Bright Moon Pearl at this moment was Wei Wenyuan, the second son of the Weiguo Gongfu, and was also the most powerful person among the people who pursued Xue Ning'er.

  Girls always like shiny things. Just when this treasure was taken out, it caused many young women around Xue Ning'er to exclaim.

   "Ah, what a beautiful moon pearl!"

   "I've grown up so big, I have never seen such a big moon pearl!"

   "Such a big and pure moon pearl, it must be very hard to find!"

   "Master Wei is really interested..."

  ……

Just as the women were chatting and looking at the moon pearl with envy, an untimely voice came from the crowd: "Huh, what's so good about the moon pearl, tacky, Ning'er, come and see what I gave you. gift!"

It was Qi Qingxiao, the eldest son of the government of Qi State. He glanced at Wei Wenyuan with disdain, and opened a jade box in his hand. The jade box was green and there were no traces of impurities and cracks. This box alone was the best jade material. , The price is not cheap, but I think the things in this box should be more precious.

  At this time, Qi Qingxiao had opened the jade box in his hand, and saw that what was placed in the box was a diamond-shaped crystal the size of a fingernail.

  The moment they saw this crystal, the crowd shouted again.

  It’s just the man who was shocked this time.

   "Yuanjing!"

   "Oh my god, this is probably the elemental crystal of a fifth-order alien beast!"

  "This is too precious. With this Yuanjing, the possibility of Miss Ning'er going from the Profound Stage to the Earth Stage in the future will increase by at least 10%!"

  ……

  Even Lin Xiu looked at the contents of the box and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that these powerful children, in order to pick up girls, are really willing to spend money.

  Yuan Jing is naturally no stranger to him. The reason why his Yuan Li grows so fast is that besides the reason that Ling Yin leads him to practice together, the most important thing is Yuan Jing.

  It’s just that the crystals used by Lin Xiu are the crystals of low-level monsters.

  The diamond-shaped crystals that are only the size of rice grains have the sole function of speeding up the cultivation of people who have just awakened. It comes from the body of a low-level alien beast. As long as you have money, it is not difficult to obtain.

  But high-level monsters are different.

The fifth-order alien beasts are not weaker than the ground-level alien magicians. They already have high intelligence. To hunt them, you need to take great risks, and even if you can defeat them, it is difficult to get their yuan. crystal.

  Because they will detonate the crystals before they die, and fight to the death. Even if they die, the enemy will not want to reap any benefits.

  This kind of high-level alien beast’s elemental crystal also has a big effect, which is to increase the chance of awakening the alien magician. Although it is only 10%, it is also a dream of many alien magicians.

  Earth-level strange beasts' elementary crystals have a price but no market. They are obviously more precious than the moon pearls.

  Xue Ning'er is all-sided and exquisite, and naturally does not show his preference, accepting both gifts, and said: "Thank you two sons, your gifts, Ning'er likes it very much..."

  The two smiled slightly at Xue Ning'er. When they looked at each other, they both hummed coldly and turned their heads.

  At this time, another doubtful voice came from the crowd: "I don't know what gift this Young Master Lin gave to Girl Ning'er?"

   "Hey, I just saw Young Master Lin entered the mansion empty-handed. Ning'er's birthday, he is not unprepared for anything, right?"

  "This, this is not so good..."

  ……

  Several young men looked at Lin Xiu and shook their heads.

  Since they knew that he was the son of Uncle Ping An, they would regard him as unpleasant.

  Why can he marry Miss Zhao?

  Does it depend on him to look good?

  Just because of this incident, he is the lifelong enemy of all young men in the capital.

  Everyone is happy to see him make a fool of himself, which makes them very happy.

  Xue Ning'er knew that Lin Xiu's family was in a bad family, and did not expect him to give herself any valuable gifts, but at this moment, she couldn't say anything.

  She knows that men have self-esteem. Even if he is really poor, he does not want to lose face in front of so many people. If she said that Lin Xiu would not give gifts, it would hurt his self-esteem.

   But soon, she smiled slightly and said, "Master Lin’s gift was given to me a few days ago. I like it very much."

  Lin Xiu probably knows why Xue Ning'er is so attractive, such a considerate girl, who will not call her a good sister when she meets it?

  He smiled at Xue Ning'er and said, “Actually, I also prepared a special gift for Ning'er tonight. I planned to take it out later. Since everyone wants to see it, I have to show my ugliness in advance..."

  Xue Ning'er didn’t expect Lin Xiu to actually prepare a gift for her, and curiously asked, "What gift?"

  Lin Xiu took out a thin bamboo tube from his sleeve, ignited the lead at the bottom with a fire fold, a white light shot into the sky, and burst into the air.

  In another part of the King’s Capital, Sun Dali, who was about to fall asleep, shivered suddenly. Seeing the burst of fire in the sky, he quickly said: "Let it go, let it go!"

  Xue Mansion, after someone froze for a while, he laughed and said, "Could it be that the gift you gave to Miss Ning'er is just a firecracker..."

  His voice fell, and in the sky not far away, there were suddenly countless streams of light blasting straight into the sky.

  The stream of light exploded high in the sky, illuminating a piece of the sky, and making countless colorful brilliance appear in the dark night.

  At this time in Xue Mansion, countless people looked up at the sky.

"what is that?"

   "What a beautiful firework!"

   "It's so beautiful, I haven't seen such beautiful fireworks in a long time..."

  ……

  The colorful fireworks illuminate the night sky, and also illuminate Xue Ning'er's intoxicated face. The colors of the fireworks are reflected from the glazed ornaments on her head, making her look as if she is walking from the light.

   A young boy snorted softly, and said with disdain: "What's so good about fireworks, they are not worth a few dollars."

  Someone immediately agreed: "At most tens of taels of silver, it can't be compared with the Moon Orb and the crystals of the ground-level monsters. Can this also be counted as a gift?"

  The men around did not have any special performances, but almost all the women’s faces showed a more or less splendid color.

  Although they know that this firework is not as valuable as Mingyuezhu and Yuanjing, if someone spends their time arranging such a beautiful firework for them when they are born, they will never forget this night if they want to come to them in their entire life.

  Amidst the dazzling fireworks, Xue’s dinner party officially began.

  The dinner is in the form of self-service. On the long table in the yard, there are plates of grilled meat, pastries, fruits, and a variety of drinks for the guests to take freely.

  In the corner, Lin Xiu took a glass of unknown juice and took a sip. Xue Ning'er walked to his side and whispered, "Thank you, this is the best gift I have received today."

  There was once such a saying among the sea kings.

  If she is not deep in the world, take her to see the prosperity of the world; if her heart is vicissitudes of life, take her on the merry-go-round. The meaning of this sentence is that different methods must be used to pursue different women.

  Is the night pearl precious? It is indeed precious.

  Are high-end crystals rare? It is indeed rare.

  But Xue Ning'er was born in the top nobleman of Daxia, and she was the only jewel in the palm of her family. She was loved since she was a child, and she had never seen any precious things. Ordinary gifts, no matter how precious, might not be able to impress her.

  This kind of woman needs an ingenious surprise, or romance.

  Those who only know how to throw money, must not understand what romance is.

  Which young girl who is just eighteen years old will refuse a romantic firework?

  In the flickering night, Xue Ning'er raised her head to look at Lin Xiu, with a complex expression, and whispered: "If you weren't the son of Uncle Ping'an, how good would you be..."
