Du Lin actually carries a lot of bits and pieces with him, such as some small accessories, such as gem buttons, which are very common. Although every tailor uses his utmost credibility to ensure that there will be no problems with the clothes he sews, sometimes there will be some small mistakes. For example, when participating in an event, he suddenly finds that there are few buttons on his clothes. What should I do if I get one
Most of the nobles suffer from an indescribable mental illness and are very ill. They will not consider what a distinguished gentleman or lady will do in a place where others cannot see them. They will not pay much attention to the private lives of these people, including social issues such as moral situations. On the premise of their own interests, they have an indifferent attitude towards other people's lives. But there is another situation, even if there is no interest entanglement, they will be very concerned and concerned about whether this gentleman or lady has done something that is detrimental to their own dignity.
This inexplicable love of watching other people's jokes has triggered countless wars between nobles in history, maybe just because someone is missing a button on his clothes, or there is some dust on someone's shoes. Then they began to laugh heartily and happily share their findings - look, that guy's clothes are missing a button. It's really ridiculous. You have to know that he is an aristocrat and he doesn't pay attention to his appearance like a bastard!
Then war broke out.
They are all a bunch of lunatics!
Therefore, in order to avoid these problems to the greatest extent, nobles usually put one or two gem buckles in the pockets or bags of the clothes they wear in formal social occasions. These gem buckles can play a big role when necessary. , Dulin also has two buttons like this in his pocket.
But giving the princess a gem buckle... didn't seem good. He touched his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
If the princess is not a princess but a prince, a cigarette may be a good gift. Du Lin also said that he would light the first fire of life for the prince, but that was a girl, a princess, and he did this That would be so rude.
Finally, among wallets, coins, gem buckles, cigarettes and lighters, Dulin chose lighters. It was a purely handmade sapphire mirror loudspeaker lighter. The market price was... wrong, there was no market price for this thing. It was a completely customized product. It cost Dulin 1,300 yuan. Although it was expensive, it was very comfortable to use.
He checked the lighter, stood in the corner and took a breath and wiped it with a napkin, then put it in his pocket with satisfaction.
When the birthday party comes to the gift-giving stage, the guests start to give gifts from the oldest to the youngest according to their different titles. Of course, Mags was the first in line. What he gave to the princess was a very exquisite handmade swan feather pen. A pure white swan feather that is more than a foot long lies in a red velvet box. The bright red velvet highlights the whiteness of the feathers. The golden nib and a small signature on the wing indicate the origin of this swan feather pen. Made the best notes.
This is a product handmade by a master. The price is about one hundred yuan. It is not very practical, but it is very qualified as a gift, and its original function is to give gifts.
"I give you this pen..." Magus put the gift box into the princess's hand, "I hope that Her Royal Highness can find her true self in the ocean of knowledge and discover all the secrets of exploring the world. Knowledge. It is the ladder of human progress and will make people more perfect, which is what I hope for.”
Her Royal Highness pretended to be very surprised and took the gift box from Mags with a deeply touched look on her face, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, thank you very much for your gift. I like it very much and will definitely remember you." advice,"
It was a very touching picture, but Du Lin couldn't feel anything touching. If someone gave him a pen on his most important day and told him to study hard, he would not smile so happily. It would be fake at first glance.
After waiting for about thirty or forty people to deliver gifts, Mags gently touched Dulin with his elbow and whispered, "It's your turn."
"Me? Am I not the last one?" As soon as Dulin finished saying this and saw Magus's expression, he knew that he had said something stupid. He didn't wait for Magus to say anything, and walked towards Her Royal Highness the Princess with his head held high. . He is the person brought by Magus, and he is also the most talked about young man in the aristocratic circle. He is not as good as the real nobles in front of him, almost all of whom are marquises and counts, but compared to viscounts or barons, It still needs to be stronger. Whether it was to give Magus face or to gain the opportunity himself, in short, he was ranked between the earl and the viscount to offer his gift.
He walked up to Her Majesty the Princess, and the scent of milk hit his nostrils. He was in a trance for a moment, then took out his lighter from his pocket and handed it over.
There was silence in the palace. Even Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at the lighter in Du Lin's hand inexplicably. She paused for about a second or two before taking it. Some nobles around have begun to talk in low voices. They don't care who you are. These people are unscrupulous about watching similar jokes. It is more like a tradition. Perhaps many years ago the first underlying reason for ridiculing other nobles was to serve politics, but today, the ridicule of nobles on nobles has become a tradition made out of nothing.
Magus was looking forward to Dulin's next performance. He knew that Dulin brought a book in and saw Dulin secretly throw the book into the trash can. He wanted to see how Dulin could reverse the current situation. come over.
"This is...a lighter, right?" Her Royal Highness the Princess commented on the delicate little thing in her hand with an uncertain tone, and some nobles even laughed out loud.
Du Lin was very calm, with no wavering in his eyes. He nodded slightly, smiled and said, "Yes, this is a lighter...", his voice gradually became louder, and he turned his attention to those who were serious. The nobleman who laughed at him raised his eyebrows, showing an expression of implicit provocation, "But it's not a lighter!" Du Lin reached out and took the lighter back from the princess's hand, and flicked it into the cabin. Cover, the ding sound had a special charm and spread for a long time, slowly disappearing in people's ears. Those who were laughing at him or talking in low voices also closed their mouths and looked at him.
He rubbed his thumb and a flame appeared on the lighter. He chuckled and turned to look at Her Royal Highness, "This is a flame, Her Royal Highness. It is a lighter, but it is not exactly a lighter. I believe you And all the ladies and gentlemen here have rich knowledge and know that the development of human beings begins with the first man-made fire, and it is the flame that lights up the long and bright dawn of human civilization. "
"I give you a lighter in the hope that you can have your own dawn when you become an adult, light up your future life with your own hands, and guide you in the right direction for the labyrinth of life full of temptations."
No one around him could laugh out loud under Du Lin's words. Although it was just a lighter, as Du Lin said, it was not exactly a lighter. Mags smiled and shook his head, this little bastard His quick wit, expressiveness and infectious energy are really terrifying. His best thing is his confidence. He was confident that he could solve all these problems, and he must have spread this confidence to others. Perhaps this is why he always succeeded, because he made everyone believe in what he believed in.
Du Lin continued, "Flame represents light and purity. It is just like you, without any impurities. God once sent down divine fire to cleanse the world, and I, by sending you this small flame today, hope that It can sweep away darkness, cleanse evil, and protect your future life..." He closed the cabin cover again, then put the lighter into the princess's hand, and held her palm so that she could hold it tightly. A lighter, "If my beautiful blessings are puzzled and ridiculed by those who don't understand, I hope you don't care about the jealousy of wisdom by those stupid people. Beauty belongs to you, Your Highness Princess!"
"Is it...?" Her Royal Highness looked at the lighter she was holding inexplicably. The full touch in her palms and the remaining warmth on the lighter gave her an inexplicable sense of security. She nodded vigorously, "This is what I have collected today. The best gift ever!”
Du Lin bowed slightly, "My pleasure, Your Highness!"
Then he took two steps back, turned around and walked towards Mags, standing next to Mags. There was some applause from around him, whether it was to cheer for Her Royal Highness the Princess, after all she said this was the best thing she had received today. The gift was a compliment for Du Lin's response just now. In short, if we must choose some outstanding characters tonight, then Du Lin will definitely be one of them.
"It's a wonderful performance. To be honest, I was moved by your words. Did you think of this yourself?" Magus found that Dulin could always give him some novel performances, just like those words just now, using flames To metaphorize civilization and use flames to protect the princess's mind, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can think of in a short while. Someone may have said similar words, but not all words are suitable for use in today's situation. He gave Du Lin a score in his heart. If the full score was one hundred points, he gave Du Lin ninety-nine points. He gave Du Lin one less point for his own pride, because he was the one who could get one hundred points.
Dulin glanced sideways at Mags and chuckled twice, "I don't know, when I stood there, when I faced the surrounding environment, I said what I wanted to say the most. Sincere words.”
"If there is a reason, then it is the will of the gods, or you can translate it as the will of God."
