When he finally arrived in the courtyard, he saw an old man with a childish face sitting in the lobby, accepting the guests to greet him.

This old man is Xiao Yiyun, and he is also the old head of the Xiao family.

Although he is eighty years old, he still has not retired, and he still holds the power of the family, but he has given the authority to his eldest son Xiao Kaijiang, and the final decision on all major matters is still in his hands.

At this time, Xiao Yiyun was surrounded by the descendants of the Xiao family, all of whom were beaming with joy and a happy expression.

Most of the families in Yandu sent representatives to congratulate and sent rich gifts to show their gratitude.

When it was Tang Wan's turn to give a congratulatory gift, she asked a bodyguard to take out a box of 300-year-old He Shou Wu from a large cardboard box.

Because the old people do not have a special hobby for gold and silver, but they have a special preference for rare medicinal materials that maintain the vitality of life.

Therefore, when this He Shou Wu was sent to Xiao Yiyun, his originally somewhat cloudy eyes shot out a trace of fine light, which was fleeting.

"Such a generous gift, I really thank the old master Tang for his love. Xiao Yiyun sighed to Tang Wan, and casually handed He Shouwu to his personal butler Liu.

"Grandpa Tai also greeted, I wish Grandpa Xiao you are as blessed as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. Tang Wan smiled and gave a big gift.

"Thank you, thank you, and please say hello to your grandfather and father on my behalf. Xiao Yiyun said.

Then, Fan Hu also gave a gift, but it was a chess carved from jade.

The people present were all lenders, and of course they recognized that this chess set was worth a lot of money.

Immediately afterwards, Nalan Tianyu, Mo Qingshan, Fan Hu and others each gave quite valuable gifts.

At the end, the Xiao family's own descendants began to give gifts.

Seeing that some uncles and uncles were giving gifts, Xiao Yan smiled, then deliberately walked up to Ye Xiaoning, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, cousin Xiaoning, what gift do you want to give your grandfather?"

"My gift is definitely not as valuable as Brother Yan's, so it's better not to take it out. Ye Xiaoning said with some embarrassment.

"Oh, it's no wonder that you were born in that poor place in Nanjiang, how can you have good things to show your hands. Xiao Zhan also sneered on the side.

Although Li Zhen's status is very respectful, the two brothers Xiao Yan still want to suppress Li Zhen in terms of gifts.

Although they don't have a lot of careers, the gifts for grandpa are still very valuable.

Xiao Yan saw Li Zhen staring intently at some people giving congratulatory gifts, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what kind of gift Captain Li prepared for my grandfather?"

"What's the matter, Xiao Ning and I are husband and wife, do we still have separate gifts?" Li Zhen was a little dazed.

"Although you are husband and wife, don't you still have a very noble status, captain of the dragon armor, this is an extremely glorious position, so with these, you also have to prepare another gift for my grandfather. “

Xiao Yan knew that Li Zhen looked poor and didn't have much money to buy gifts, so he deliberately said these words to disgust Li Zhen.

Besides, he and Li Zhen are only equals, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, so he looks down on this cousin-in-law who is dressed a little beggar in his heart.

What's special, with such a high status, and still dressed like this, isn't this obviously disgusting?

He couldn't understand why such a stunning cousin fell in love with Li Zhen, who was obviously like a high school student, which was really incomprehensible.

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, Li Zhen suddenly said a little nervously: "In this way, I really didn't prepare, and no one told me before." I thought that Xiao Ning sent it, which means that we both sent it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhen suddenly remembered that Ding Chunqiu didn't have a letter to himself, and he was going to give it to Xiao Yiyun.

I don't know if this can be given as a congratulatory gift.

"That's not good, wait a while, every couple has their own gifts for each other, even those single grandchildren will also give gifts to my grandfather. “

Xiao Yan said with added vinegar.

Soon, it was the turn of the two brothers to give gifts.

Xiao Yan gave a pair of snow-white jade lions, looking at their delicate color, they knew that the price was not wrong.

As for Xiao Zhan, he gave a calligraphy and painting, which turned out to be Tang Yin's genuine work "Tiger", and the value of this congratulatory gift was more valuable than that of the jade lion.

In this regard, everyone else was full of praise, and for a while, the guests who came to give congratulatory gifts all gathered around and gave a thumbs up.

Finally, it was the turn of the Ye family's grandson with a foreign surname to send a congratulatory gift.

Ye Xiaomeng gave away a pair of pearls the size of pigeon eggs, while Ye Jun and Xiao Qinglan gave a set of extremely precious rosewood tea sets, which were worth a lot of money.

When it was Ye Xiaoning's turn, she didn't hurry to take out a piece of Pixiu carved from imperial jade, and the whole body was full of a green luster, which made people stunned.

Imperial jade is inherently valuable, and if it is a work of art created by a master jade carver, its price is even more difficult to estimate.

Therefore, when Ye Xiaoning sent this imperial jade gift, everyone couldn't help but be shocked and extremely surprised.

They unanimously agreed that among all the younger generations, I am afraid that the most valuable is Ye Xiaoning's congratulatory gift.

"Xiao Ling wishes my grandfather happiness such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. When you are old and strong, the spirit of Ryoma. “

Ye Xiaoning began to flatter her grandfather, which made Xiao Yiyun a little fluttery, but a pair of blazing eyes stared at Ye Xiaoning's side, and asked, "Xiao Ning, this is your husband Li Zhen." “

He earnestly looked Li Zhen up and down.

"Yes, his name is Li Zhen. Ye Xiaoning said with some embarrassment.

Because Li Zhen always went out, she didn't have the opportunity to bring Li Zhen to visit her grandfather, so when her grandfather asked at this time, she felt a little embarrassed.

He whispered to Li Zhen again: "Li Zhen, you are not called grandpa?"

Li Zhen hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa, hello." ”

"Well, okay, okay, Li Zhen, I heard that you became the captain of the dragon armor at a young age, you are really capable, and congratulations. Xiao Yiyun hurriedly congratulated, thinking to himself, this Xiao family will have such a big backer in the future, maybe, it won't be long before it will be brilliant again.

"Hehe, grandfather, no matter how capable I am Li Zhen, I am still your nephew and son-in-law. Here, my nephew and son-in-law wish my grandfather good health and eat a fragrant ......"

Before Li Zhen finished speaking, Xiao Yan, who was standing on the side, hurriedly spoke: "Li Zhen, you can't do this, each of our grandchildren has given congratulatory gifts, and you are a captain who doesn't give gifts, it doesn't make sense anywhere." ”

Between the words, he sarcastically criticized Li Zhen for being stingy.

"Who said I didn't have a congratulatory gift. Li Zhen unhurriedly took out a crumpled letter from his pocket, presented it to Xiao Yiyun with both hands, and said respectfully: "Dear grandfather, I have nothing to give, but I can only give this letter to you as a gift." I hope you can laugh at it. “
