Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home
Chapter 21 Just a Fridge Magnet
When he saw Jiang Huai, Jiang Tuan couldn't help but get into the mood of meeting a relative's child. He began to touch himself, trying to find a gift for the other person.
When he touched it, he found the refrigerator magnet that he had casually put in his waist pouch when he changed his clothes.
Speaking of this refrigerator magnet, it was purely accidental that it followed Jiang Tuan to the Great Xia Dynasty.
At that time, Jiang Tuan fell down, the box in his hand was thrown out, and his backpack also fell to the ground, which resulted in him arriving in the Great Xia Dynasty with only the clothes on his body.
Jiang Tuan didn’t think his clothes were bad, but the time he came to the Great Xia Dynasty was not right.
It was autumn now, and he was wearing thick clothes, which was not only eye-catching but also hot, so he had no choice but to change into the clothes here.
After changing his clothes with Ning Ling's help, he habitually reached into his pockets. Unexpectedly, he touched something.
He took it out and saw that it was a refrigerator magnet he bought at the gift shop at the tourist attraction.
This refrigerator magnet is a lifelike red dragon. Because it is the Year of the Dragon and the color is festive, Jiang Tuan bought one without hesitation when he saw it on the stall.
After buying it, he was too lazy to open the backpack and put it directly in his pocket. It was because of this laziness that the refrigerator magnet accidentally followed him to the Great Xia Dynasty.
When Jiang Tuan saw this refrigerator magnet, he felt quite regretful. If he had known that the things in his pocket could travel through time, he would have put his phone in his pocket.
He has a lot of novels in his hands, some of which are about time travel and rebirth, and they contain a lot of knowledge. It would be better for him to learn from them than to use this refrigerator magnet which is of no use other than appreciation.
Of course, we can’t say that this thing is completely useless. Now we can give it to others as a gift!
Although it was not very decent to give a refrigerator magnet to a prince, it was the only thing he could give him. He couldn't ask him to give away his own clothes, which would be even worse!
"No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite. I'm just giving you a small toy as a greeting gift. Please don't despise it!"
When Jiang Huai was old enough to remember things, his father Jiang Qi had already become a local overlord, and later unified the country and became emperor.
He was promoted from a prince to a crown prince, and his status became higher. Few people dared to treat him as a junior and gave him gifts.
Moreover, the nobles are all about ceremony. No one would hand the gift directly to the other party. They would wrap the gift and hand it to the servants. After the person leaves, they would slowly look at what the other person gave them.
This was the first time in Jiang Huai’s life that someone directly gave him a gift.
As a prince, although he was still trying hard to maintain his image, but under Jiang Tuan's ignorant behavior and after seeing the dragon stuffed into his hand, he could no longer maintain his image or his composure.
Dragon, dragon, is this a dragon? How can there be such a lifelike dragon? Is this a real dragon? But why is it so small?
Jiang Huai held Xiaolong in his hand as if he was holding a time bomb (if he knew what a time bomb was, he would definitely agree with this statement).
He opened his hands, not daring to move, for fear of hurting the little dragon.
"Father, dragon, dragon!"
Originally, Jiang Qi was not very curious about the gift Jiang Tuan was going to give to the prince.
Because Jiang Tuan appeared directly in front of him, and there seemed to be nothing important on his body except for his clothes, hat, shoes and socks.
He thought that Jiang Tuan was at most giving the reward he had given to the prince.
But when the usually calm prince started shouting in a very ungraceful way, he found out that he was wrong.
If you ask the ancient dynasties what the most important totem is, 90% of people will say the dragon, and the parallel world where the Great Xia Dynasty is located is no exception.
The emperor was called the true dragon emperor, and the people regarded the dragon as a symbol of blessing for good weather and good harvests.
Even Emperor Wei You, who offered sacrifices to all kinds of demons and monsters in order to become an immortal, did not dare to disrespect the dragon and would never forget the dragon every time he offered sacrifices.
As for Jiang Qi? He didn't believe in other false gods, demons and monsters, but he still had enough respect for the dragon, a god that had been worshipped by people for who knows how long.
Whenever it was time to offer sacrifices, the gods of heaven, earth and dragon were the first to be worshipped, followed by the ancestors.
However, although people may worship gods, how many people have actually seen them?
So when his son called him and shouted out the dragon, he thought he had heard it wrong.
Looking in the direction of his son's voice, he suddenly saw the lifelike little red dragon in his son's hand. Even though the dragon was small, the tiny scales on its back could be seen clearly.
Under the sunlight, those scales actually emit a faint colorful glow.
What did the dragon of the Great Xia Dynasty look like? If Jiang Tuan saw it, he would describe it in two words: "abstract".
Due to the problems of painting craftsmanship and imagination, the dragons made in Daxia are very abstract. One can roughly see the dragon's horns, dragon head, dragon body, dragon feet, and dragon scales, but nothing more specific.
Even though the appearance of a dragon has been recorded in detail through word of mouth or in some written records, people can only think about it in their minds at most.
When it comes to the real objects, no matter whether they are drawn or made, none of them are lifelike.
Now seeing the dragon in the prince's hand, Jiang Qi had only one thought in his mind: That's a dragon, this is what a dragon looks like!
Looking at Jiang Huai, whose face looked unclear as to whether it was surprise or horror, and then looking at Jiang Qi and the ministers behind him, whose eyes were wide open as if they were about to kneel down, Jiang Tuan realized that the gift he had given seemed to be very extraordinary.
But no matter how great it is, it's just a refrigerator magnet in his eyes!
"Well, this is just a fridge magnet, a toy, a decoration, understand? It's not a real dragon."
After hearing Jiang Tuan's explanation, Jiang Qi turned to look at him, but the excitement in his eyes still did not disappear.
"How can it not be a real dragon? Look, it's glowing!"
Speaking of light, Jiang Tuan was even more embarrassed. He took the fridge magnet from Jiang Huai, pointed at the fine light on it and said, "This is a material that will reflect light under the light, but it doesn't really glow."
In fact, when buying refrigerator magnets, Jiang Tuan saw a kind that could glow. There was a small light bulb installed inside, and when you turned on the switch, the light bulb would flash. However, he thought it was a bit childish, so he thought about it and didn't buy it.
Fortunately, he didn't buy it, otherwise he would have to explain what electricity was to these ancient people.
"Isn't it?"
"It's really not. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Jiang Qi carefully took the little dragon from Jiang Tuan's hand and took a closer look. It was indeed not a real dragon, but something made of something that was somewhat similar to colored glaze, but lighter than colored glaze.
