At twelve o'clock at noon, Xi Mengyao's birthday party started on time.

At this moment, the spacious water pavilion was already full of seats, and it was very lively.

As the host, Xi Yuanyan strode onto the stage in the center of the Water Pavilion with the microphone, arched his hand to the guests around him one by one, and said with a smile: "Thank you relatives and friends present, xiexie, you can still take time to participate in the little girl Mengyao's eighteenth birthday celebration in your busy schedule......"

Before the words fell, there was a round of applause in the water pavilion.

After the applause stopped for a while, Xi Yuanyu continued: "I believe that all friends, especially those in the antique jade circle, have some understanding of the little girl's ability in the field of antique jade. To be honest, when I was eighteen years old, I was not as good as Meng Yao. It's a pity that our Xi family has a family rule that has been passed down from generation to generation, whether it is phase stone or the Xi family's industry, it can only be passed on to men and not to women......"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Especially those who are more familiar with Xi Mengyao, they all know very well that there is no way to learn the phase stone technique passed down from generation to generation by the Xi family, and there is no way to inherit the Xi family's family business, which has always been a pain in Xi Mengyao's heart.

At Xi Mengyao's birthday party, Xi Yuanyao suddenly mentioned this not very happy thing, what did he mean?

Xi Yuan looked at everyone's reaction, but his voice did not pause: "To be honest, I myself hate this family rule. But family rules are family rules after all, and even though I am the head of the family, I must also follow them. In order to compensate Meng Yao, I decided to give her the storefront and jade workshop of Baishitang in Caotang Antique Street as a gift for her eighteenth birthday From today on, the Baishitang and jade workshop in Caotang Antique Street are no longer the property of the Xi family, but belong to Meng Yao alone. I hope this can be her career."

As soon as his words came out, there was a sudden sensation in the Water Pavilion Tower.

The cheers, surprises, and exclamations came one after another, and it seemed so lively.

The shops and jade workshops in the Caotang Antique Street are worth tens of millions.

Such an industry was actually given to his daughter as a birthday gift for the eighteenth birthday...... Xi Yuanyu is really generous

Xi Mengyao didn't expect her father to give such a big gift, and hurriedly wanted to refuse: "Dad, your gift is too valuable, I can't accept it." ”

Xi Yuanyu shook his head: "If I say it, the gift I give will never be taken back."

Xi Mengyao's younger brother Xi Wenshan also persuaded: "Sister, you can accept it." This gift is my father's heart, and it is also my heart. The outdated family rules of the Xi family doomed your sister to not be able to develop in the family. But now, you have your own business, and you can break out of the house rules and carve out a world of your own."

Hearing this, Xi Mengyao finally understood her father's good intentions, and she was pleasantly surprised, she didn't know what to say, she just nodded vigorously, saying that she would definitely not live up to her father's expectations.

The gift given by Xi Yuanyu can be said to have ignited the atmosphere of the birthday party.

In the following time, Xi Wenshan, Uncle Wang and other relatives and friends of the Xi family sent birthday gifts to Xi Mengyao.

Most people's birthday gifts are wrapped in gift boxes. No one knows what was given away until it was unpacked. However, based on the status of these people and their relationship with the Xi family, it is not difficult to guess that these birthday gifts must be worth a lot of money.

Liu Xiangcheng and Zhang Shaojie and others also sent birthday gifts and blessings one after another.

Just when Lin Yang was about to take out a birthday gift for Xi Mengyao, Huang Zonghan took the lead and came to Xi Mengyao with a beautiful wooden box.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yang had to pause and wait for Huang Zonghan to give him a birthday gift before going over.

Zhang Shaojie snorted unhappily: "I think this kid is deliberate, he just doesn't clean up"

"Shut up. Lin Yang glared at him and said angrily.

Although Zhang Shaojie closed his mouth, his gaze at Huang Zonghan was extremely cold. He was already in his heart and began to think of a way to clean up Huang Zonghan.

Although Lin Yang didn't allow him to go to Huang Zonghan's trouble, it didn't mean that he really wouldn't go to find it. As a well-known uncle in Jinguan City, he has always been the only one who pries other people's wall feet, how can he let others move their hoes? What's more, this guy named Huang Zonghan still wants to pry his second uncle's wall foot

It's really bearable, it's unbearable

Huang Zonghan didn't know that he had been hated by Zhang Shaojie, he came to Xi Mengyao with a smile, but he didn't hand over the gift to the birthday star like the person in front of him, and said a few words of blessing and left.

"Meng Yao, I know that you are used to seeing all kinds of treasures, and you don't look down on ordinary things. This time, for your eighteenth birthday present, I thought about breaking my head. Fortunately, God favored me and let me get a good thing. Huang Zonghan's words were full of showing off.

He didn't hand over the gift to Xi Mengyao, but opened the exquisite wooden box by himself and carefully took out a picture scroll from it.

Not to mention, Huang Zonghan's ostentatious tone and flirtatious approach really had an effect. Everyone present couldn't help but be curious, what kind of precious painting did he give Xi Mengyao as a birthday gift?

Huang Zonghan did not disappoint people, he did not sell Guan Zi anymore, slowly unfolded the painting scroll, and showed this mysterious painting in front of everyone.

This is an ink figure painting of a lady with a fan playing and fluttering butterflies in a flowery courtyard.

The ladies in the painting are pure and beautiful, with a joyful look between their eyebrows, which is very expressive.

In the blank space above this "Lady Fluttering Butterfly Picture", it is also written that "Fluttering butterflies are only young when they are young, and cherishing flowers should take advantage of the red stamen, and other verses."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Huang Zonghan did not completely unfold this picture. The place with the seal on the lower left was hidden by him.

"I know that many of you who came to Meng Yao's birthday banquet today are antique experts. Here, forgive me for selling it, please guess the friends here, ......who painted this "Lady Fluttering Butterfly" "Lady Fluttering Butterfly" Speaking of this, Huang Zonghan deliberately paused, and then beckoned to Lin Yang with a smile: "Come, this friend, tell me, who will be the author of this painting?"

Although he had a smile on his face, he obviously had bad intentions in his heart.

If Lin Yang couldn't identify who made this "Lady Fluttering Butterfly Picture", he would definitely lose face in front of everyone

What Huang Zonghan wants is this effect
