Chapter 678: Brothers Fight
"It's usually eight o'clock, and the time before that is for everyone to get together......"
Wei Mingcheng looked at the time and said: "Grandpa can't come to eat, let's eat together at about seven o'clock, after eating, grandpa comes out to show up, and the juniors go to kowtow and give gifts, this birthday is over......"
"Dinner at seven, well, let's wait another hour!"
Hearing Wei Mingcheng's words, Fang Yi finally understood, saying that it was to celebrate the birthday of Old Man Wei, but in fact, it was an opportunity for the children of the Wei family to get together, I didn't see a circle of elders, women were in a circle, and Wei Mingcheng's brothers were also in a circle.

"What's the matter?, hungry?" Wei Mingcheng looked at Fang Yi and laughed, and said in a low voice: "We know that we have a late dinner, and we usually eat late at noon, and I still have a few biscuits in my pocket, do you want to top them first?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm afraid the teacher will be hungry......"
Fang Yi waved his hand when he heard this, not to mention not eating a meal, even if he didn't eat or drink for three or five days, Fang Yi would not have any effect, and now he was only one step away from the realm of Bigu.
"Then you don't have to worry, Mr. Yu will definitely be playing chess with delicious food and drink......"
Wei Mingcheng said with a smile: "My dad's treatment is different from ours, they have tea and snacks in their house, and there are guards waiting for them, unlike our side, no one has come to change the tea after several brews." ”
"You kid don't complain a few words, be careful that your dad hears and beats you......"
Wei Laosan, who was standing close to Fang Yi and them, scared Wei Mingcheng, everyone in the Wei family knows Wei Jiaxi's violent temper, he is not only nothing to beat the child on a rainy day, but also idle, if it is not pleasing to the eye on this sunny day, it will be a beating, Wei Mingcheng's excellent physical fitness has been beaten by his own Lao Tzu since he was a child.
"Third brother, you bully me, I'll sue the second uncle to ...... in a while"
Don't look at Wei Mingcheng, who is five big and three thick, but he has a lot of experience in fighting at home, his second uncle usually doesn't beat children much, but the most unsightly thing is that his brothers are not in harmony, if his son bullies his younger brother, he can't run away from being beaten.
"Hey, rabbit cub, who bullied you, with your current body, can I beat you? Who believes it......" Sure enough, when Wei Mingkai heard his younger brother's words, he suddenly became anxious, and the beatings he has been beaten since he was a child are almost all caused by these brothers' complaints.
Moreover, the second generation of the Wei family is all with the old man in their temperament, firmly believing in the phrase filial piety under the stick, ideological work or something can be put into the army to do, and the little cubs in their own family are said to be beaten, no matter how old they are, it is not to save face at all.
"Anyway, you're bullying me, believe it or not, it's only ...... that the second uncle said" Wei Mingcheng said with a smile, their brothers have their own shortcomings, as long as they hold it, they can always extort something.
"Okay, you kid didn't get a good deal from the eldest brother, and the idea hit me?" Wei Mingkai said angrily: "Say what you want, but let's talk about it first, don't think about sports cars or anything, if I dare to buy it for you, the third uncle will dare to break my leg when he turns around!"
Wei Mingkai is the only person in the Wei family who does business, he is engaged in real estate development, just by taking some land for the relocation of the army, he has earned a lot of wealth that many people have not accumulated in several lifetimes, and now he has done business in Beijing and Shanghai, and he is also the kind of person who can rank among the domestic real estate developers.
Therefore, some of the big expenses of the Wei family are basically responsible for him, and Wei Mingkai has also established a fund for this purpose, as long as it can pass the audit of the relevant business departments, tens of millions of funds can be withdrawn from that fund.
"Who's going to have a sports car? What kind of sports car do I drive in the army......"
Wei Mingcheng shook his head again and again, rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and said: "Third brother, didn't I buy a gift for my grandfather, now I am shy in my pocket, you can support this thing, you know my account, just call three or five million to come over......"
"If you dare to accept me, you will dare to beat ......" Wei Mingkai glanced at his cousin and said: "Three or five million is not much, you let the third uncle tell me, and I will call someone to transfer money to you in a while, how about it?"
"Hey, third brother, it's boring!" As soon as he heard that he was looking for his father, Wei Mingcheng was immediately deflated, and said angrily: "Three or five million is not, thirty or fifty thousand is fine, anyway, if you don't give it, I will find the second uncle to complain ......"
"Yes, I'll give you 50,000 yuan tomorrow, you kid, I'll let you pick one of the objects in my collection, you just want to buy it yourself, who can blame it......" The amount of his cousin's lion mouth was compressed a hundred times at once, Wei Mingkai was in a good mood, in fact, he wouldn't take it to heart even if it was three or five million, mainly to have fun.
"Can the gift I took from you be the same as the gift I bough......t?"
Although 50,000 yuan of hard work in a few words was credited, Wei Mingcheng did not receive the third brother's love, as long as the people of the Wei family are used to it, and they lack money to find Wei Laosan, this is already the consensus of the Wei family.
"Is this what it feels like to be a family?" Looking at Wei Mingcheng's brothers arguing, Fang Yi was not lonely, he had never experienced this kind of family affection, and there was a feeling of envy in his eyes.
"Brother Fang, whose painting is it in the painting box you are holding?" Wei Mingkai is more flexible and has no shelves, he feels that it is a little inappropriate for his brother to chat with Fang Yi aside, and he and Fang Yi have a topic at the moment.
"Third brother, this is also Zheng Banqiao's words, it is "Bamboo and Stone Map". Fang Yi didn't hide it, and said generously.
"Bamboo and Stone"......? Where did you get this painting?"
As soon as Wei Mingkai heard the words "Bamboo and Stone", his eyes suddenly widened, because his grandfather loved Zheng Banqiao's works all his life, and he originally wanted to find a piece of Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone Picture" for his grandfather's birthday, but after searching all the major auction houses in China, there was no auction of "Bamboo and Stone".
The auction house couldn't find it, so Wei Mingkai hit the idea to some collectors in China, but what disappointed him was that although he also found two "Bamboo and Stone Pictures", they were not in good condition because of the storage, and the painting size was also small, and in the end Wei Mingkai could only choose another "Orchid Picture" work of Zheng Banqiao as a birthday gift.
"I photographed ...... from abroad"
The batch of antiques in Fang Yi's house is not afraid of being traced down, because there is everything from auction certificates and appraisal certificates to certificates at the time of customs clearance, plus the status of the two teachers in the antique shop, no one can talk about those things.
"Alas, you're so lucky, I also asked people to look for it abroad, but they couldn't find anything. ”
Wei Mingkai sighed when he heard this, in fact, every year the family gives the old man's birthday gift, nine times out of ten, he prepares, for the old man's collection of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and paintings, Wei Mingkai is also well aware, he knows that what his grandfather wants most is the "Bamboo and Stone Map" that represents Zheng Banqiao's personal style, but he has not been able to find it before.
"Grandpa never accepts things from outsiders, let's see if it can break today?" Wei Mingkai patted Fang Yi's shoulder and said, "If grandpa doesn't accept it, I will buy this painting when I go back, and you can quote a price for how much it is." ”
Wei Mingkai had been in the house just now, and he hadn't heard Bai Chuxia's conversation outside, so he thought that this painting was given by Fang Yi on his own behalf, and with his understanding of the old man, there was a chance that this thing would not be sent.
"Third brother, you can save it, grandpa will definitely accept it. Fang Yi smiled when he heard this, but he didn't say much, but Wei Mingcheng snickered beside him, it was strange that grandpa didn't accept the things sent by his cousin.
"Hmm, what's going on?" Wei Mingkai was a shrewd person, and when he heard Wei Mingcheng's words, he realized that there was something in this that he didn't know.
"Don't ask, you'll know when the time comes......"
Wei Mingcheng closed his mouth tightly, although he likes to joke, he also knows the priority of the matter, if it is revealed that Fang Yi is Bai Chuxia's boyfriend, then the entire Wei family is afraid that it will be fried.
"Mingkai, Mingkai, are you in there?"
Just when Wei Mingkai was chatting with Fang Yi, a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the house, Fang Yi's brows moved slightly, he heard it, this woman was the beautiful young woman who had pulled Bai Chuxia into the room before.
"Yuqin, what's the matter? I'm talking to the sixth child. Wei Mingkai got up and walked out, and when he lifted the thick curtain, Fang Yi, who was staying in the house, saw a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old standing beside Wei Mingcheng's third sister-in-law.
"Huh, Jiang Nan, why did you come here?"
Seeing the young man, Wei Mingkai was a little surprised, glanced at his wife, and said, "Yuqin, didn't you say it, grandpa won't greet relatives on his birthday, why did you call Jiang Nan?"
Although Wei Mingkai did not obey his parents' words to become a soldier, he obeyed the family's arrangement in marriage.
Wei Mingkai's wife Jiang Yuqin is a person from the Jiang family in the capital, although the Jiang family's power in the army is far inferior to the Wei family, but it is also an upstart after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there is quite some energy in the Beijing circle.
However, Jiang Yuqin does not belong to the kind of unreasonable woman, after marrying Wei Mingkai, the relationship between the two has always been very good, Wei Mingkai's business can be so big, and Jiang Yuqin has a credit in it.
And Jiang Nan in front of him is the child of Jiang Yuqin's uncle's family and Jiang Yuqin's cousin.
Jiang Nan is a doctor of biology, after returning from abroad, he opened a bioengineering company, after two or three years of development, this company has made a lot of achievements in the pharmaceutical and other fields, and many relevant departments of the state have cooperated.
"Mingkai, have you forgotten what I told you before?" Seeing her husband's surprised look, Jiang Yuqin glanced at Wei Mingkai curiously, and reminded him. (To be continued.) )
