Chapter 9: Birthday Gifts

According to the previous rules, the first person to come forward to offer a birthday gift at this time should be the eldest son Ye Jianwen. However, at this time, Ye Jianwu's son Ye Zihao suddenly stood up, held a large gift box of about thirty centimeters, and walked in front of the old man.

"Why is the second family so rude?"

Seeing this, Liu Ya suddenly became angry, frowned and complained.

"Forget it, let Jianwu go first, let's wait. ”

Ye Jianwen didn't have any opinions, and hurriedly comforted his wife.

Lu Chen and Ye Qingling glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

In the past year, the struggle for power and profit within the Ye family has become more and more serious. Especially between Ye Jianwu and Ye Jianhui, there is a competitive relationship both openly and secretly, everything must be prioritized, like today's opportunity to please the old man, how can these two families let it go?

"Grandpa, today is your 70th birthday, and your life is rare for 70 years, and my grandson has specially prepared a jade longevity peach for you!"

Ye Zihao, who was in a straight suit, tall and handsome, slowly opened the gift box in his hand, and saw a red jade longevity peach with a diameter of about 20 centimeters, which was slowly presented in front of everyone.

"Wow, this is amazing! Such a large piece of jadeite must be worth hundreds of thousands!"

"If you add the carvers, it's almost more than a million. ”

"This Ye Er really invested in such a heavy gift. ”

As soon as the red jade longevity peach appeared, it immediately attracted the amazement of the guests present. Even Ye Qingyun couldn't help but exclaim, but before she could finish her breath, she was glared back by her mother Liu Ya's cold eyes.

Seeing the reactions of everyone present, Ye Jianwu's rich face suddenly had a smug smile, and he glanced at Ye Jianhui not far away. However, Ye Jianhui was smiling, and his expression did not change from beginning to end.

"Yes, yes, you put your mind to it. ”

After looking at the Jade Shou Peach, Old Man Ye nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the position beside him, and said softly: "Zihao, you can sit here next." ”

"Thank you, grandpa. ”

When Ye Zihao heard this, he hurriedly bent down and sat down, and the joy on his face couldn't be concealed at all.

After the second family finished offering the birthday gift, Ye Jianhui didn't make any movement there, Liu Ya hurriedly touched her husband with her elbow, and Ye Jianwen immediately understood and walked away with the birthday gift.

The old man opened the gift box, looked at the things inside, and found that it was a jade jade carving, and after playing with it, he smiled slightly: "Very good, much stronger than last year." ”

As soon as these words came out, Rao was a person like Ye Jianwen who was wide-hearted and fat, and he couldn't help but blush.

On the old man's birthday last year, he listened to a friend's introduction and spent nearly 200,000 yuan to buy an antique. At that time, he was still complacent, thinking that if he picked up a bargain, he would definitely be able to please the old man, so he bragged in front of relatives and friends.

But before he could send it to the old man, he was judged to be a fake by an old friend of the old man, which not only made him lose face in front of his relatives and friends, but also lost 200,000 private money in vain.

Just when Ye Jianwen came back with an embarrassed face, Ye Jianwu's wife Yang Ling suddenly opened her mouth, and sneered in a weird manner: "Hey, this fake antique from last year is still worth 200,000 yuan, why did you get such a small gadget today? Look at this size, it's only tens of thousands of yuan." ”

In fact, the jade jade carving selected by Liu Ya is not bad, and it belongs to the middle and upper level in the birthday gifts of the Ye family. But the bad thing is that Ye Lao Er suddenly made a big scene, it is also jadeite, with red jade longevity peach pearl jade in front, Liu Ya's jade jade carving is naturally much inferior.

"Yes, big brother, if you are short of money, tell your brother, we are all a family, not worse than your 180,000. ”

Ye Jianwu smiled, with a smile on his face.

Ye Jianwen was ridiculed by the husband and wife, and his face turned red and he looked ashamed. And Liu Ya was so angry that her eyebrows were about to stand up, and she wanted to speak several times, but in the end she endured it.

The relatives of the Ye family who were sitting at the same table also covered their mouths and snickered, I don't know when they started to ridicule the boss Ye Jianwen at the family banquet, which has become a reserved program.

And at this moment, Lu Chen suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Qingling and I have also prepared a birthday gift for you." ”

After speaking, he picked up the gift box on the table and walked straight to the old man.

Seeing this, everyone in the Ye family had doubts on their faces. And Yang Ling sneered even more, full of disdain: "A person who doesn't even have a job and no waste, what good things can he give?"

Although Lu Chen and Ye Qingling have only been married for a year, under the propaganda of some people with ulterior motives, Lu Chen has become an incompetent household waste. This made many relatives of the Ye family feel sorry for Ye Qingling, and at the same time, they also secretly scolded Ye Jianwen for not having long eyes and choosing such a waste son-in-law.

Old Man Ye couldn't help but glance at Lu Chen more, and then slowly opened the gift box. And when he saw the gift in the box, the old man's face immediately had a touch of surprise, which made everyone in the Ye family even more curious.

"Grandpa, this is just a broken cup, what's so rare?"

Ye Zihao, who was on the side, glanced at it and sneered.

The old man shook his head, looked at Lu Chen, and said softly, "Xiao Chen, since you sent this hand cup, then you should know its origin, right?"

Lu Chen bowed his head slightly, and said eloquently: "Although this hand cup is not good-looking and slightly shabby, it is a serious Yongxuan porcelain. The blue and white porcelain fired by the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory during the Yongxuan period has reached a new level in terms of output and quality, and is known for its fine glaze, rich color, rich shape and beautiful decoration, and is promoted as the crown of blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty......"

Yesterday's black, dirty porcelain cup, after washing all the lead, is today's Yongxuan blue and white porcelain cup.

"It's rare that you know so much at such a young age. ”

After listening to this, the old man's face was full of appreciation, and he pointed to the empty seat on the other side and said, "Xiao Chen, you are sitting here today." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa. ”

Lu Chen did as he said and calmly sat on the other side of the old man.

This scene immediately stunned everyone present, especially Ye Jianwu.

You must know that he spent nearly two million to please the old man, and strive to let his son sit next to the old man. But what about Lu Chen, who had never been seen by him? With just such a broken cup, he also sat next to the old man, is it important that his red jade longevity peach has not broken the cup?

Liu Ya's mother and daughter were also very surprised, they didn't expect that the black broken cup could be so valued by the old man.

"Alas, it seems that when my son-in-law bought that cup, it only cost a thousand yuan, and it seems that this lack of money may not be able to please the old man!"

Ye Jianwen looked at everyone's reactions, and suddenly had a feeling of raising his eyebrows.
