King of soft rice

Chapter 154 – Linglong Concentric Lock
The family banquet at Xu's hometown was naturally not as tense as at noon, and there was no need to line up to celebrate birthdays.When Mr. Xu gave an order, everyone began to eat and drink.

At this time, Zhai Nan had time to talk to Han Xia, "Honey, why are you here all of a sudden?"

Han Xia looked at Zhai Nan and replied in a low voice: "If I don't come, don't you want to be with this little fairy?"

When Zhai Nan heard this, he immediately looked towards Zhao Qianqian, and Zhao Qianqian seemed to have opened his eyes at the back of his head, with a pair of red phoenix eyes, looking at Zhai Nan.

Zhai Nan quickly avoided Zhao Qianqian's gaze, and said, "I didn't know she was the granddaughter of the master!"

Han Xia snorted softly, "Even I know, how dare you say you don't know."

Zhai Nan was helpless, "I'm not too familiar with Zhao Qianqian, I've only met him a few times. Although I'm Mr. Xu's apprentice, it's just a matter of a few days."

Han Xia smiled softly, "You have only known each other for a few days, and you dare to call me over."

Zhai Nan also smiled and said: "But I have a good relationship with the old man, and I feel that he should be my master, and he also likes me very much, otherwise it would be impossible to give a password to prevent others from telling about our affairs. "

Speaking of this, Zhai Nan said: "By the way, how much did you spend on my master's birthday gift? When I have money, I will return it to you."

Han Xia waved her hand and said, "No need, on August [-]th, didn't you also send mooncakes to my house?"

Zhai Nan laughed lightly, "What's the matter? How much are just a few pieces of mooncakes worth? The things you brought must be at least tens of millions."

Han Xia said: "The price is different, but the value is the same, just make the old man happy."

Zhai Nan shook his head, "That's not okay. If it's just an ordinary thing, I won't let it go with you. It's just that what you gave is too expensive, so I dare not just accept it."

Han Xia rolled her eyes, "It's not for you."

Zhai Nan said, "Giving it to me and giving it to my master, isn't it the same thing. You just tell me the truth, and let me have a truth in my heart."

Han Xia looked at Zhai Nan and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, even if I buy you, I can't afford these things."

Zhai Nan was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "That's fine too! In the worst case, I'll promise to pay the debt with my body, do you think so?"

Han Xia smiled softly, "Fuck you."

When the two were talking, Zhao Qianqian next to him didn't know what kind of dry vinegar he had eaten, so he snorted softly, "Show affection, die quickly!"

Both Zhai Nan and Han Xia were slightly taken aback, and Han Xia was not polite, and said directly: "Eat less, and I will feed you with dog food later."

Zhao Qianqian immediately stared, but couldn't say a word.

Zhai Nan couldn't help asking: "What kind of enmity between you and Zhao Qianqian, what kind of grudge?"

In fact, this question has been hidden in Zhai Nan's mind for a long time, but he has never had a chance to ask it.Now that the two of them were sitting together, Zhai Nan's curiosity was immediately aroused.

Han Xia turned her head to look at Zhai Nan, and said in a low voice, "She's actually my college classmate."

Zhai Nan was slightly taken aback, "Then you two still have such a big enmity?"

Han Xia shook her head and said, "Have you ever heard that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers?"

Zhai Nan said smoothly: "Unless there is one male and one female!"

Han Xia frowned, "Don't interrupt!"

Zhai Nan nodded.

Han Xia continued: "When she was in school, she liked to fight with me, but she has never fought against me. With her qualifications, if she wants to fight against me, she probably has no hope in this life."

Zhai Nan was slightly taken aback, always thinking that Han Xia would not care about it.But looking at Han Xia's tone, there seemed to be a lot of resentment.

It is estimated that they fell in love and killed each other, that is to say, these two people.Since they were in school, they have been fighting each other, but they are also sharpening each other, otherwise they wouldn't be able to become top-tier and first-tier stars at a young age.

Everyone ate and chatted, and gradually they all drank.

Elder Xu looked at Zhai Nan and Han Xia, the little apprentice and his daughter-in-law, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.Not only Zhai Nan's picture of Taoyuan and Han Xia's three birthday gifts, but having such an outstanding junior deserves to make him happy.

Mr. Xu stood up suddenly and said, "Xiao Nan, Xiao Xia!"

Zhai Nan and Han Xia were still whispering here, but when they heard Mr. Xu's voice, they stood up immediately.

Zhai Nan quickly asked: "Master, what's the matter?"

Mr. Xu said with a smile: "All my apprentices have followed me since childhood. I have seen and kept them in my heart as they grow up step by step. Only you are the last apprentice I accept, and you are not the one who grew up. Follow me."

Zhai Nan didn't know what Mr. Xu was going to do, so he just nodded.

Elder Xu continued: "When these apprentices got married, I gave them a gift. But you came late, old man, and I didn't give you any gifts."

Zhai Nan said with a smile: "You can always accept me as an apprentice, which is already the greatest gift you have given me."

Zhai Nan's words are not polite. He has been an orphan for so long, and his greatest wish is to have a family.And Mr. Xu did it, not only gave him a home, but also gave him so many family members.

Mr. Xu smiled and said: "It doesn't count. They have all of them, and you can't be missing. It's just that I knew about them when they got married, but I didn't know about you. So... it's cheap You kid."

Zhai Nan was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Old Xu meant.

Mr. Xu stood up slowly and said, "You all wait for me for a while." After speaking, he turned and went back to the room.

After a while, Mr. Xu took out a small box and said, "This is the concentric lock. It is a thing I collected in the early years. It was a wedding gift for you at that time."

Zhai Nan and Han Xia didn't know what the concentric lock was like, but everyone around them gave a low cry.

As Mr. Xu's best friend, Mr. Lei naturally knew the value of this thing, so he couldn't help but said, "Your old man is really willing."

Old Xu smiled and said, "I'm already eighty years old. If I keep this thing, I'll give it to you two if I keep this thing." Then he handed the box to Zhai Nan and Han Xia.

Zhai Nan didn't think too much, and opened the box directly.Inside the box, there was a heart-shaped pendant, but there were two silver chains on it.

And this heart-shaped pendant is also exquisitely carved, and the hollow pattern in the middle is very complicated.

The elder brother was watching, knowing that he didn't see the mystery of this thing, so he said, "Press down on the heart shape in the middle and try."

Zhai Nan pressed down towards the heart shape in the middle according to the senior brother's words.I saw that the heart-shaped hollow air turned and started to rotate in a complicated way, and the hollow pattern on it also changed accordingly.

When the heart-shaped pattern in the middle was pressed to the end, the pendant actually became two.One is the outer hollow, and the other is the inner solid.

And this thing is very ingenious, even if it is separated into two, it is a very delicate pendant.If the two are combined, the hollow pattern on it will become more complicated.

Zhai Nan also found it novel and played it over and over several times.

Han Xia watched for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "This is the Linglong Concentric Lock. I've heard of it, but it is said that this kind of forging skill has long been lost."

Elder Xu smiled and said, "Xiaoxia still has eyesight. This is the Linglong Concentric Lock. It was given to me by an old eunuch back then. It is said that it is a treasure from the palace."

Han Xia heard the words and said quickly: "Then this thing is too expensive, we dare not accept it."

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "It's not as valuable as you think. The old eunuch was very old back then, and he had no children and no one to take care of him. I took care of him for two months, and he gave me the same heart lock." I'm an old man, it's useless to keep it, and it happens to be a wedding gift for you."

Mr. Lei also said beside him: "The elders can't refuse the gift, you two don't refuse it. It happens to be one person, one heart forever, and it is also Lao Xu's blessing to you two."
