While talking, several disciples who had been prepared on the other side had already brought the guqin over.
The guqin given by Sima An has smooth color and simple decoration.
On a whim, Sima Zhengming raised his hand to pluck the strings and played a short section.
The sound is clear and ethereal, it is indeed a rare and good piano.
As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, there were bursts of applause from all around, praising Sima Zhengming's musical skills.
Sima Zhengming nodded with satisfaction, smiled at Sima An and said, "Xiao An is interested."
A proud smile suddenly appeared on Sima An's face.
Sima An's gift seemed to turn on a certain switch.
The next process of the birthday banquet is for a group of people to take turns to come forward and present the birthday banquet gifts they brought one by one.
All of a sudden, all kinds of strange gifts were piled high on the side.
Seeing that there was no movement at Ye Hong's table, Sima An immediately sneered and walked towards them.
"Where are your congratulatory gifts? You didn't prepare anything and came here to eat and drink for free, right?"
Several other guests at the same table immediately looked panicked and hurriedly went to the main table with their congratulatory gifts.
Even Sima Chongting and Sima Lu went to prepare gifts separately.
Only Ye Hong was still picking up the dishes on the table slowly.
"Ye Hong, where's yours?"
Sima An sneered.
Ye Hong didn't say anything, he just raised his eyes and glanced at Sima An.
Sima An suddenly trembled, and then he realized that at some point, he and Ye Hong were the only two people left at the table.
If Ye Hong intends to take action
Sima An felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously took a few steps back in a defensive posture.
Unexpectedly, Ye Hong made no move and still lowered his head to deal with the dishes on the table.
Just a playful smile at the corner of his mouth made Sima An feel humiliated!
"You, you wait for me!"
Sima An said a harsh word and returned to the next table.
Ye Hong wiped the oil on his mouth with a tissue and slowly pulled out a long box from under the table.
It's a gift, how could you not prepare it
Seeing Ye Hong heading to the main table with the box, Sima An hurriedly followed him with gloomy eyes.
"Taoist Master Sima, this is a birthday gift that Mr. Cai Jiannan specially entrusted me to bring you."
In front of the main table, Ye Hong slowly opened the long box.
A soft yellow light gradually overflowed from the box bit by bit as the box was opened.
Everyone looked around in surprise, only to find that the light came from something in the box.
When the box was completely opened, everyone finally saw the whole thing clearly.
What was inside the box was a strange guqin.
The material used for the body of this piano is actually some kind of strange soft yellow jade. The whole piano looks like a complete transparent jade, which is very strange.
The light that everyone saw just now also comes from this jade material.
And the most peculiar thing is that even the strings are the same color as the body of the instrument.
The transparent guqin emits a faint light, and its body and strings are integrated into one piece. At first glance, it is something extraordinary.
"C-could this be the [Jade Immortal Supporting Top] that has been spread overseas for many years?"
Sima Zhengming couldn't bear the excitement in his heart and touched the piano with trembling hands, for fear of accidentally breaking the piano.
Sima Zhengming suddenly thought that this piano was a gift from Cai Jiannan, so he put aside his joy and said lightly: "Well, just so-so."
But the wild and enthusiastic look he showed when he looked at the guqin completely revealed his love for the guqin.
And this kind of expression never appeared at all when he used the piano given by Sima An just now.
Sima Zhengming seemed to have forgotten that there was still the piano, and just couldn't put it down holding the Jade Immortal in his hand to hold it up.
Sima An in the crowd could see it with eyes split open and teeth gnashing. His hatred for Ye Hong had reached its peak.
He rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait a minute!"
