"Oh, I forgot to introduce her. This is my fiancée, Shi Zhen'er, a lady of the third rank bestowed by the emperor. Come, Zhen'er, meet the Earl of Guazhou."

Lin Hai said this without changing his expression, as if it wasn't him who was deliberately not introduced.

"Oh, it's my sister-in-law. Nice to meet you. Hahahaha." Wei Mingyuan bowed and took out a brocade box from his arms. When he opened it in front of her, he saw two pieces of unpolished jade.

"Xia Country is located in the northwest, and it's full of sand and dust, so there aren't many good things there. However, this jade is a specialty of Xia Country. I stumbled upon these two pieces of unpolished jade. I had someone look at them, and they said they were top-notch material. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to carve them, so I kept them with me.

I didn't expect to hit it off with Qinghe Bo today, and to be able to meet my sister-in-law as well. I'm sure Qinghe Bo doesn't treat me as an outsider. These two pieces of jade are given to Qinghe Bo and my sister-in-law. They are a perfect match. With the help of Qinghe's skilled craftsmen, they will surely be able to carve a masterpiece that surpasses all others in the world."

"Hahahahahaha, Lord Guazhou is really polite." Lin Hai said politely while reaching out to take the brocade box.

"Pssst," Lin Hai thought. "How can this be some kind of Xia Country specialty? How can you carry it with you all the time? Don't you feel uncomfortable carrying such a big box around every day? It's obvious that you heard I wanted to see you, so you asked someone to buy it at the market. The jade is real, but it's Cambodian jade, and this box was a fucking gift. Do you really think I don't know?"

Lin Hai complained inwardly, but at the same time he smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I also have a treasure that is extremely suitable for the Earl of Guazhou. Zhen'er, go to my room and take out that crystal picture."

Shi Zhen'er excused herself and made a detour to the main office. As soon as she entered, she asked, "Is it done? This Cube brought a gift as soon as we met. Now we have to return the favor."

"It's almost done, it's done, but the paint hasn't dried yet." Ling Yang and Ling Yan were trying hard to fan a picture frame with their fans. There was no other way. No one expected that Wei Mingyuan would abandon his identity as the chief envoy and come to visit as the earl. This gift was thought up by everyone in the morning. The glass part was finally made, but they found that there was no suitable picture frame, so they made one temporarily, but the paint could not dry completely.

"Then just give me the glass." Shi Zhener thought for a moment and said.

"this..."

"It's okay. You have to trust your principal's quick wit. He can make things right."

"Brother Lin, this is the crystal." Shi Zhen'er walked to the pavilion, holding the crystal in her hand, but it was covered with red silk.

"Hahahahaha, please look, Earl of Guazhou." Seeing that it was brought in this way, Lin Hai knew that the person behind must have not had enough time to do it, but it was not the time to be particular about this, so he pulled open the red silk.

A piece of glass, oh no, a piece of crystal, a piece of crystal that was exactly the same shape as the territory of Xia State appeared in front of Wei Mingyuan.

Qinghe's specialties are pig iron and crystal. Lin Hai would not give a piece of pig iron as a gift, so his return gift must be crystal. Wei Mingyuan had expected this a long time ago, but this crystal really exceeded his expectations.

The entire piece of crystal is crystal clear, but it shows different thicknesses and colors in different locations. For example, the location of Hanhai is thin, flat, and yellowish in color. The grassland where Zhongxing Prefecture is located is a little thicker, but the color transitions from yellow to green in a magical way. Further west, the thickness continues to increase, and the color continues to become lighter. Milky white begins to occupy most of all the colors. Wei Mingyuan knows that it is the snow-capped mountains and plateaus in the northwest of Xia State.

"A divine object." Wei Mingyuan said involuntarily.

"Hahahahaha, Uncle Guazhou, this is a masterpiece of nature." Lin Hai said, "Originally, the excavated crystal ore still needs to be flattened to facilitate later carving, but this piece is different. It was like this when it was found in the mine. The miners didn't recognize it and thought it was a waste mine and almost smashed it. It was only because of its large size and rich colors that it was preserved. After traveling all the way, it was delivered to Uncle Ben this morning.

This uncle took a look and wondered, "Isn't this the territory of the Xia Kingdom? Perhaps the heavens knew you, Guazhou Bo, were coming and deliberately allowed this divine object to appear here. As the saying goes, divine objects belong to the virtuous. This uncle thought that only Guazhou Bo was worthy of such a divine object, so he gave it to Guazhou Bo to take back to the Xia Kingdom."

To be honest, after telling so many lies like this, Lin Hai not only did not feel embarrassed or nervous, but he even got better at it. Sometimes he even hoped that more people would come to Qinghe so that he could improve his deception skills.

"Qinghe Bo has given such a generous gift. I see it with my own eyes and am deeply moved, but I absolutely dare not accept it."

To Lin Hai's surprise, Wei Mingyuan, whose face was already blushing, refused the gift the next moment.
