Chapter 1061 - House for Boxes
"Don't!" Seeing that Lei Yunlong refused to accept his gift, Xiao Ping deliberately pretended to be annoyed and said: "Brother Long, I sincerely came to congratulate you on your marriage, if you don't even accept the gift, then you will be slapping me in the face in public, and our friends will not be able to do it in the future!"
Zhilu said that Xiao Ping was using words to accept this heavy gift, and Lei Yunlong also felt a little embarrassed. It was Lei Qianlong who played a round next to him, and said to Xiao Ping: "I said big brother, this is a piece of Brother Xiao's heart, if you don't accept it, it's not close to people!"
Chen Feifei also smiled and said: "Big brother, this is a wedding gift from Brother Xiao to my sister-in-law, if you don't accept it and listen to your sister-in-law, you don't care!"
Lei Yunlong glanced at his wife, and saw that Li Shanshan's eyes were full of joy when she looked at the jewelry box, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly and said, "Okay, since this jewelry box was given by Xiao Xiao, then accept it." ”
Seeing that Lei Yunlong finally gave in, Xiao Ping also smiled with satisfaction: "This is like words!"
Now is the time when there are the most guests present, Xiao Ping and the two couples have been talking for so long, which has also attracted the attention of many guests. It is inevitable that there are a few snobbish eyes among these guests, and when they saw that Xiao Ping actually gave only two inconspicuous small boxes to the newcomer, a few guests looked down on him.
A middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Ping with disdain on her face, and whispered to her husband beside her: "The two brothers of the Lei family are married, and this young man actually only gives two wooden jewelry boxes, is it embarrassing?"
Her husband, a thin man with glasses, glanced at the jewelry boxes in the hands of the two brides and sneered: "That is, there are fake pearls on the lid of the box, it is likely that I bought it in a small commodity market." I actually used this kind of resistance as a wedding gift. It's a shame!"
In the middle of the lid of the jewelry box, there is a particularly large black pearl. It's bigger than a normal pigeon egg. And it is particularly round and smooth, and the shape is also extremely perfect circle. Ordinary people don't know that there are such good pearls in this world. No wonder the skinny man took this for a fake pearl.
Several guests sitting near the couple also heard their words and nodded their heads in agreement. A few of the guests had even begun to discuss how the young man, who was a relative or friend of the family, could have been so bad as to be reduced to the point of using this kind of garbage as a wedding gift.
Just as a few people were talking, another guest walked into the banquet hall. This person Xiao Ping also knows, it is Su Chenlin's father Su Xiong.
Xiao Ping was not surprised by Su Xiong's arrival, judging from the fact that Su Chenlin was able to enter and leave Zizhu Garden, the relationship between the Su family and the Chen family was extraordinary. Today is also the wedding of Chen's granddaughter Chen Feifei. It is also reasonable for Su Xiong to attend.
Sure enough, Chen Feifei greeted Su Xiong with a smile when she saw him: "Uncle Su is good, didn't you come in the morning?"
"Hehe, Fei Fei, congratulations! I wish you two couples a happy marriage, a white head, and an early birth to a noble son. Su Xiong smiled and said his blessings, and then said to Chen Feifei: "You will be there in a moment for Sister Chenlin, she said that this is your wedding, and she will come to attend no matter what." ”
Su Xiong said as he took out two red envelopes and handed them to the newlyweds, which was a normal exchange of gifts at the wedding. None of the Lei brothers refused. After thanking Su Xiong, he accepted the red envelope.
It wasn't until this time that Su Xiong saw Xiao Ping next to him, and immediately smiled and said to him: "It turns out that Xiao Xiao is also here, what a coincidence." ”
"Hello Mr. Su. Xiao Ping politely greeted Su Xiong, after all, he was Su Chenlin's father. To be polite, it should also be.
Speaking of which, Su Chenlin's life was saved by Xiao Ping, so Su Xiong was also very polite to him, and he shook Xiao Ping's hand with a smile. was about to say a few words, but his eyes inadvertently fell on the jewelry box sent by Xiao Ping.
Su Xiong is a knowledgeable person. His eyes just turned slightly on the jewelry box, and his face immediately changed drastically, and he hurriedly said to Chen Feifei: "Feifei." Can you show this jewelry box to Uncle Su?"
"Absolutely. Chen Feifei smiled at Su Xiong and handed the jewelry box to him.
Su Xiong carefully looked at the details of the jewelry box, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "There are no seams, it is actually carved from a whole piece of agarwood, and the pearls inlaid on it are all real, all of them are big and round, all of them are authentic walking beads, tsk...... That's amazing!"
Su Xiong is a wealthy man with a very rich net worth, and he knows more about this kind of high-end and high-grade things than Lei Qianlong and his wife, and knows the value of this jewelry box better. Especially when he noticed that Lei Yunlong's wife still had an identical jewelry box in her hand, Su Xiong's heart was even more surprised, and he didn't know who had such a big hand, and such a precious gift was two pieces at once.
Chen Feifei was born in a famous family, although sometimes things are a little out of tune, but her ability to observe words and emotions is first-class. Just looking at Su Xiong's expression, he probably guessed what he was thinking, and immediately said with a smile: "Uncle Su, this is my favorite wedding gift, in fact, you also know the person who gave it to me, it is Brother Xiao." ”
Chen Feifei's words surprised Su Xiong, he only knew that Xiao Ping was quite accomplished in medical skills, and he had recently made food and health care products. But he didn't expect this young man to come up with such a precious wedding gift, which was really unexpected by Su Xiong.
Knowing that Chen Feifei had no reason to lie to herself, Su Xiong hurriedly asked Xiao Ping: "Xiao Xiao, do you still have a similar jewelry box? You know, I also have an unmarried daughter, and I've been looking for good things for her to dowry recently!"
Speaking from the heart, Su Xiong just asked casually, and he didn't really have much hope for this matter. Such agarwood jewelry boxes are so rare that it is very rare to have two, and it is simply impossible to have a third.
In fact, it is very difficult to carve such a large jewelry box of agarwood, after all, agarwood is mainly made of small materials, and it is very good to be able to make bracelets or small pendants. It is absolutely unattainable to carve such a large jewelry box of heavy spices, which often takes several years to produce such a piece.
Not to mention the pearls inlaid on the jewelry box, all of which are superb walking beads, and the preciousness is comparable to that of agarwood. Even a wealthy man with deep pockets and connections, such as Su Xiong, is not sure that he can get these two precious materials at the same time.
However, the truth surprised Su Xiong, Xiao Ping said to him with a smile: "If you are doing a dowry for Chenlin, then I have to help with this anyway, the almost jewelry box is wrapped around me!"
Although Su Xiong hoped that Xiao Ping would agree, he really agreed but felt a little incredulous, and couldn't help asking: "A jewelry box carved from a whole piece of agarwood, and there are such big pearls on it?"
"Probably about the same. Xiao Ping didn't want to talk too much, so he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "This matter is wrapped up in me, when the time comes, I will bring the jewelry box to you, if you are satisfied, you will stay, if you are not satisfied, I will take it and turn around and leave, how about it?"
Hearing Xiao Ping say it so surely, Su Xiong would not be too petty, and immediately smiled and said: "Okay, if it can really be similar to the one you gave to Fei Fei, I am willing to exchange it with you with a set of courtyard houses within the third ring!"
Xiao Ping gave the two jewelry boxes to the Lei brothers as congratulatory gifts, and naturally he would not ask for a penny. But right now, Su Xiong wants to buy a jewelry box, of course Xiao Ping won't provide it for free, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Okay, then it's a word!"
Xiao Ping and Su Xiong were chatting happily here, completely oblivious to the reactions of the guests next to them. These people were still laughing at Xiao Ping just now, thinking that the gift he gave was too light. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, someone was willing to use a set of courtyard houses in the third ring to exchange jewelry boxes with him, which really surprised those people.
Although the location of the Third Ring Road is a little remote by the standards of the so-called courtyard houses in old Beijing, you don't have 25 million yuan to buy a courtyard house. Seeing that Su Xiong was actually willing to exchange a set of courtyard houses for jewelry boxes, the eyes of these people were red, and they couldn't believe that this was true.
The middle-aged woman who first made sarcastic remarks about Xiao Ping looked at Su Xiong again and again, and then asked her husband next to her in a low voice: "Who is this person, what a big man." Actually exchanging a set of courtyard houses for jewelry boxes, it shouldn't be a liar?"
"You know what a fart!" The man who has always supported his wife unconditionally is unusually this time, he secretly glanced at Su Xiong and lowered his voice: "Who is that person in Zhilu Dao?" He is Su Xiong Su's boss, even if everyone else is a liar, he will not be a liar!"
"Su Xiong!" Hearing this name, the middle-aged woman didn't dare to say anything, she just looked at the two jewelry boxes with envious eyes and muttered to herself: "A small box can be exchanged for a set of courtyards, why is this jewelry box so expensive!"
In fact, Xiao Ping, who has a keen hearing, can hear the conversation between these people clearly, but he has no intention of bothering with the other party. After all, this is the day of great joy for the Lei brothers, and they can't spoil the good atmosphere because of some snobs, which is not what a friend should do.
Su Xiong came relatively late among the guests, and not long after he arrived, the wedding officially began. Considering the relationship of influence, the wedding of the two brothers of the Lei family is solemn and not extravagant, and it is not much different from the wedding of ordinary people.
Although Lei Yunlong's wife was born in an ordinary family, and Lei Qianlong's wife has a prominent family background, Lei An served a bowl of water very flatly, and there was no deviation in his attitude towards the two in-laws, which also made Xiao Ping nod secretly.
The Chen family's tutoring was already very strict, and Chen Feifei's parents were not the slightest dissatisfied with Lei An's approach, but were very satisfied. And this situation also relieved Li Shanshan's parents, who were a little worried at first, and felt that their daughter was not looking for the wrong person, and she would definitely not suffer in the Lei family because of her background in the future.
In a harmonious atmosphere, the wedding is also going smoothly. (To be continued......)
