749. Birthday Gifts
Ye Linfeng and Ye Ming glanced at each other, and they both saw a solemn look in each other's eyes - it seems that the old man really has the intention of electing the head of the family, even if the appointment is not announced today, it will not be too long!
"Children, every year you have to kowtow and offer birthday gifts. Ye Zhengrong smiled and said, "This year is not exempt from vulgarity! It is estimated that you all think that the Ye family is too old-fashioned and too vulgar! However, this is the etiquette passed down from the ancestors, if you want to change it, it is still the same sentence, and when I hang up, you will change it again! Hurry up and kowtow, let's go through this scene, so that we can continue to eat, don't let everyone go hungry!"
Several old men let out a burst of laughter, and Ye Feihua said to the children and grandchildren below: "You have to work hard!"
"Hurry up and kowtow! Don't scramble, mess around, put aside the gifts of the children on the side, Linfeng, Ye Ming, what are the gifts you two have prepared? Take it out and take a look. Ye Zhishen glanced at the two elite children of the Ye family with a doting look and smiled.
Ye Linfeng took the three gift boxes from Ye Muyun's hands, stepped forward, handed one of them to Ye Zhengrong, and said, "Grandpa, this is for you! I wish grandpa a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity than Nanshan!"
He handed the other two gift boxes to Ye Feihua and Ye Zhishen, and said with a smile: "Second grandfather, third grandfather, this is for you!
"We also have a share?" Ye Feihua said in surprise.
"Of course! The Ye family has always paid attention to respecting the old and respecting the teacher, and my growth and maturity are inseparable from the teachings of the second and third grandfathers! I have always been grateful. It was also when I was searching for gifts for my grandfather, so I left a snack and exchanged two gadgets for my second grandfather and third grandfather. Ye Linfeng said politely.
"Linfeng is the most hearted and filial child, which makes us feel very comforted!" Ye Zhishen said to Ye Zhengrong, and his appreciation was beyond words.
Ye Zhengrong nodded slightly, rubbed the yellow satin box, and asked, "Linfeng, what kind of treasure is this?"
"Yes, I can't wait to open it!" Ye Zhishen smiled, "This is not rude, right? If the gift is not good, I can just scold!"
"Of course it's not rude!" Ye Linfeng said respectfully, "Open it and take a look!"
"It's heavy, it can't be gold, right? I'll open it first!" Ye Feihua opened the box first, and everyone poked their heads to look over, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly-it turned out to be a pair of mahjong!
is saying in his heart that Ye Feihua likes to play mahjong the most, and Ye Linfeng, this kid, will do what he likes.
Ye Feihua took out a mahjong card, rubbed it up, and felt that the card was very warm, like jade but not jade, and the color was not new, but it was infiltrated to be crystal clear, and it was extraordinary at a glance, he weighed it, frowned and thought, and suddenly said in surprise: "This is made of ivory? Oh, this generous gift is priceless, I don't dare to accept it!"
When he said this, everyone was immediately shocked to learn that ivory and ivory products are now prohibited items by the state under the International Convention on the Conservation of Endangered Species. There is very little circulation in the market, one hundred and thirty-six mahjong, if they are all carved with ivory, the value can be said to be hundreds of millions of yuan!
Ye Linfeng nodded slightly, but said with a smile: "Second grandfather, don't be nervous! This is antique ivory, which can be circulated and traded, and it is not illegal to collect it!"
"I didn't say I didn't dare to collect it!" Ye Feihua said with a smile, "I think this thing is too valuable! It's an antique? Isn't that even more valuable? What age? How much did you spend to buy it?"
"Value, needless to say!" Ye Linfeng said with a smile, "However, this mahjong does have a bit of a background." This mahjong once appeared in the Christie's World Precious Collectibles auction in 2006, and after experts and scholars argued, this is the mahjong played by the Empress Dowager Cixi - Jiyang Mahjong!"
"The Jiyang mahjong that the Empress Dowager Cixi played?" Ye Feihua was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile, "The name is quite strange, there are allusions in it?"
Ye Linfeng said with a smile: "Because the Empress Dowager Cixi is a sheep, in the palace where she is located, sheep are regarded as holy relics, and there is basically no mutton on the table. In the court, sheep are regarded as sacred objects and worshiped as gods. Many game things are also blessed with sheep sounds, such as this auspicious sheep mahjong. For example, in this mahjong, all the whiteboards are engraved with a lamb, which means auspicious and prosperous. ”
Ye Feihua took a look, and sure enough, on the whiteboard, there was a colorful lamb carved, which was cute and gratifying, and he was convinced at the moment.
Haha laughed and said to Ye Linfeng: "Linfeng, it's rare that you have this filial piety! I still remember the little habit of the second grandfather, it's very good! However, this thing is bought without spending less money, right?"
"No, not a penny was spent!" Ye Linfeng said with a smile, "In March this year, I treated a British foreign businessman and cured him of liver cancer. Therefore, he wants to give me an honorarium of 100 million yuan! However, I saw that there was this mahjong in his study, and I heard him say that it was snatched from the Old Summer Palace when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Yanjing. I thought to myself, it's also a national treasure, it's not a matter of being overseas, so I asked for it, but I didn't expect him to agree happily!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Ye Feihua's appreciation was overflowing, and he slapped his hands at Ye Zhengrong and exclaimed: "Linfeng is so capable! In the past, foreigners oppressed me in Huaxia and were poor and weak, but Linfeng can legally and reasonably take back the things that belong to my ancestors! Let a foreigner see the magic of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine! What a good thing!"
"Linfeng, you are very good!" Ye Zhengrong had a hint of appreciation on his face, nodded, and then his face became solemn, and said: "In my life, the biggest ideal is to promote Chinese medicine! Now, Baoshantang can be recognized by the Chinese people, but in my opinion, it is only the first step of the long march! Because our goal is not only to make Huaxia, but also to let Chinese medicine go to the world! In my life, I am afraid that I will not be able to accomplish this goal! The next step is to rely on you!"
Seeing that as soon as Ye Linfeng made a move, he got the approval of Ye Zhengrong and Ye Feihua, and everyone couldn't help but envy Ye Linfeng, and they also admired this kid's shrewdness.
"Alas, this is fun!" Ye Zhishen also couldn't wait to open the box, but saw a palm-sized bronze figure.
The limbs, head and neck, and even the eyeballs of the bronze man can be moved, and the zuò is very exquisite, and it is covered with dense pinholes, which are secretly in line with the acupoints and meridians of human beings.
Ye Linfeng glanced at Ye Fan triumphantly, then retracted his gaze, and said with a smile: "This is a bronze man with living meridians in the Qing Dynasty, although it is cast in gold, but the meridians in the body are all alive, and the meridians are filled with mercury. As long as he the acupuncture point, stimulates the machine, and the mercury impacts, his eyes will roll, and his lips can also move, making strange noises!
"Wenji ......" Ye Zhi couldn't put it down, looked at the soles of the bronze man's feet, and muttered: "Handmade!"
"Oh my God!" Then, he let out an exclamation, feeling incredulous, trembling with excitement, and said: "This is the great divine doctor of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Qian, the chief cultivator of the "Medical Sect Jinjian", the character Wenji, this person made it himself! This, this is a treasure! Worth a thousand gold! You, how did you get it?"
"Wu Qian's descendant, Wu Miaoshou of Yanjing Yangmai Hall, invited me to compete in acupuncture and moxibustion one day, using blind needles to prick acupuncture points to see who is more accurate!" Ye Linfeng smiled humbly, but he still couldn't hide his smugness, and said: "There are three hundred and sixty-five acupuncture points in the human body, and he has three hundred and sixty-three blind acupuncture points!"
"Oh my God! Wu Miao's ancestor Wu Qian is the great master who studies the meridians and acupoints, he is known as the world's first acupuncture and acupoint doctor, and he really deserves his name!" Ye Zhishen was shocked, and sighed solemnly, "Blind needles can pierce three hundred and sixty-three! I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed!"
"Zhishen, your brain is pumping!" Ye Feihua said jokingly, "If there is no one who is unsurpassed, how can Linfeng win his family heirloom treasure?"
Ye Zhi changed color in horror, looked at Ye Linfeng in disbelief, and muttered, "Linfeng, your grasp of the meridians and acupoints can surpass Wu Miao's hands?"
"Wu Miaoshou is the head of the Yanjing Wu family, one of the four major families of the Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts Sect, and he is both excellent in medicine and martial arts! How dare I compare with him?" Ye Lin said humbly, but in the depths of his eyes, there was still a look of pride, "Maybe it's a fluke, I pierced the acupoint with a blind needle, and I hit three hundred and sixty-four!
Ye Zhishen gasped, he was speechless for a long time, and his eyes when he looked at Ye Linfeng were full of shock! The others, looking at Ye Linfeng's gaze, were even more shocked and frightened, and a little more envious!
After pondering for a long time, Ye Feihua stroked his palms and laughed: "Linfeng, you have made extraordinary achievements this year, these two great gifts, your third grandfather and I are very happy!"
He turned his head and urged Ye Zhengrong with a smile: "Big brother, don't you open the gift box and take a look, your gift is the highlight of Linfeng!"
Ye Zhengrong smiled indifferently, opened the gift box, and saw a plain-looking ancient scroll revealing its true face, and on the cover of the yellowed paper, there were a few fly-headed small letters - "Jin Kui Yao"!
Ye Zhengrong's eyes also flashed with a hint of shock, and he said with a smile: "This is Zhang Zhongjing's handwritten "Golden Essentials", which is a lone book! The only remaining one was left in the Taiwan National Museum, how did you get it? This is a national treasure!"
"Chairman Tai Wanlian suffered from cervical spondylosis and has been suffering from torture for more than 10 years, and the current director of the Huaxia Health Care Committee, Bian Laoque, took me to Taiwan to see a doctor for him, and with the efforts of our master and apprentice, he has been completely cured. Chairman Lian was very happy and gave this unique book to Bian Laoque as a gift, and he heard that you are going to celebrate your 80th birthday this year, so let me dedicate it to you as a gift!" Ye Linfeng said with a smile.
