In Gangning Prefecture, when a birthday is held, in addition to the birthday ceremony, there will also be a birthday ceremony. This birthday ceremony is only for relatives, and although other guests will also give gifts, it will not be performed during this ceremony.

After the birthday ceremony, the master of ceremonies of the birthday banquet served by Grandpa Chen immediately announced the start of the birthday ceremony.

"First of all, please ask the son and daughter of the old birthday star to present birthday gifts!" Grandpa Chen said loudly.

When the words fell, Lin Wenyi stood up first, holding a delicate mahogany box in his hand, walked in front of the old man Lin Tianren, knelt down, and said, "Dad, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

As he spoke, he opened the box, and a crystal clear white jade cup was placed inside, but the jade cup was slightly light green, with a diameter of about 7 cm and a depth of about 2.5 cm, and the walls of the cup were light and thin. The body of the cup is cut into the shape of plum blossoms, with five petals, like plum blossoms.

Then Lin Wenyi took out the jade cup, only to see a stamen in the center of the bottom of the cup, and a plum branch wrapped around the outside of the cup, and seventeen plum blossoms of different sizes on the branch, which were organically linked with the cup body. The jade is crystal clear, the flowers are beautiful and the branches are tender, obviously the author of the jade cup takes the meaning of "Lamei Aoxue".

Even people who don't understand jade can see the extraordinaryness of this jade cup at this time.

I only heard Lin Wenyi say: "This jade cup is called 'Lamei Aoxue', which was passed down to the Ming Dynasty and is a treasure among jade. There are many allusions to accompanied, one of which says that this jade cup is a famous jade cup in the Ming Dynasty, and the minister Yan Song at that time wanted to take the jade cup as his own, so the owner of the jade cup abandoned the official and changed his surname to live in seclusion for this cup. I was lucky to get it, and I was on a business trip to Yunnan last month, and I went to the antique market with a few friends. At that time, I just thought that it had a special shape and a crystal jade, but I didn't want to be identified by experts, and this cup still had such a history. ”

Lin Tianren took the jade cup, he couldn't put it down, although he didn't say anything, but he was happy, anyone could see that he loved this cup very much.

Then Lin Tianren took out a red envelope and handed it to Lin Wenyi, which is also a part of the birthday ceremony.

The first person gave such an extraordinary gift, and while the guests admired the strong financial resources of the Lin family, they were also even more looking forward to what kind of gift the next Lin Wenli would give.

When Lin Wenli opened the box, everyone couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise

But seeing that the box contained a cup, the material was also jade. The style of this cup is larger than the one given by Zhilin Wenyi, and the shape is more peculiar, on both sides of the cup there are two jade pillars like brackets attached to both sides of the cup, and on these two jade pillars there are also carved statues, which look a bit like the statues of ancient Egyptian pharaohs. In addition, there are various patterns carved on the body of the cup, and there is a mysterious symbol on the outer edge of the cup wall.

"Dad, I wish you a prosperous sun and a long moon." Lin Wenli said.

Then he picked up the jade cup and said, "This cup is called the Wish Cup." ”

"Wish Cup?" Someone exclaimed, it was Xiongba.

Xiong Ba stood beside Lin Yichen's aunt, who was the only son of Lin Yichen's aunt.

I saw Xiong Ba's face showing a different color, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he said: "Second uncle, this wish cup was unearthed in the tomb of the 18th Egyptian pharaoh of Tutkamon?" ”

Lin Wenli nodded and said, "Yes, it's this cup." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people were shocked, and it was obvious that many people present knew the origin of this cup.

"The cup was found in the vestibule of the tomb of the 18th Egyptian pharaoh of Tutkamon, and it is speculated that it was discarded by tomb robbers. On the outer edge of the wall of this cup is carved a mysterious symbol, which means that if you are willing to turn your face towards the north wind, you will see happiness in a few years. ”

There is no doubt that the Lamei Aoxue given by Lin Wenyi is a treasure, but this wish cup is a rare treasure.

"After the birth of the wish cup, it was included in the list of rare treasures, but it soon disappeared, it is said that someone stole it, and this time I also found it at a friend's house in Saudi Arabia, and after spending a lot of effort, that friend was finally willing to transfer the cup to me." Lin Wenli said it lightly, but anyone can think that the price it takes to get this cup is probably not something ordinary people can do.

After Lin Tianren took the cup, although he softly blamed Lin Wenli for taking a lot of trouble to do this, it was an extravagant and wasteful thing, but he could not hide his joy.

Immediately afterwards, it was Lin Yichen's father Lin Wenzhi's turn, and almost all the guests present knew that the Lin family was much more mediocre than the eldest son Lin Wenyi and the second son Lin Wenli, and the third son of the Lin family, Lin Wenzhi, was much more mediocre, and even more brilliant, and even more so, in their opinion, Lin Wenzhi was simply an idle second ancestor.

In fact, in front of people, Lin Wenzhi is indeed like a second ancestor most of the time, and he is labeled with cynicism and disrespect for the elderly.

Therefore, when it was Lin Wenzhi's turn, many people showed little interest. After all, whether it is because of the amazing treasures of the first two or because of himself, it is difficult for people to think what kind of birthday gift he will give.

Sure enough, Lin Wenzhi's birthday gift was just a pastry longevity peach, and the style looked a little rough, as if it was made temporarily.

"Dad, I wish you a smile and a happy family forever." Lin Wenzhi said, holding the longevity peach to Lin Tianren.

The latter took it with a smile and took the chopsticks and tasted them. Then he frowned slightly, looked at Lin Wenzhi, and said, "You did it yourself?" ”

Lin Wenzhi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, how do you know?" ”

Lin Tianren took a paper towel and spit out something on it, which was a cotton thread.

Lin Wenzhi's face was full of embarrassment, and Lin Tianren scolded with a smile: "You are not too young, and you are still doing things like the same." ”

Lin Wenzhi laughed dryly, while Lin Tianren continued: "However, in general, even if you have a heart, I will accept this longevity peach." ”

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yichen's seven aunts and uncles presented gifts together, and finally it was the turn of the three daughters-in-law.

The gifts given by the three daughters-in-law were all handmade.

Then it was the turn of the grandchildren, in order of age, the first one was Lin Yichen's eldest cousin Xiong Ba, no matter what he did, he was domineering, so even if he gave a gift, he was very domineering, and he actually brought a horse in, and it was a bloody BMW with pure blood.

Lin Tianren was very satisfied with this gift, and it was the first time he laughed today, and he praised Xiong Ba very much.

After that, Lin Yichen's cousins, cousins, cousins and others went up one by one to give gifts, and when it was Lin Haocheng's turn, Lin Yichen was quite interested.

Because this kid was still asking what gift he had prepared, of course, the point was to say that he had prepared a mysterious gift this time.

I have to admit that Lin Yichen was aroused by his curiosity.

There is already a domineering gift like Xiongba in front of him, what other gift can be called a mysterious gift? Could it be that this kid wants to give someone away?

Thinking like this, Lin Yichen couldn't help but glance at the big star Yin Enhui standing next to Lin Haocheng, and then quickly shook his head to dispel this strange thought. If this is the case, this kid is estimated to be kicked out of the family tree by the old man on the spot.

I saw Lin Haocheng take a tablet from Lin Wanting's hand and walk forward.

"Hmm...... This kid won't give this thing, will he? Lin Yichen couldn't help but complain secretly.

Obviously, Lin Haocheng couldn't be like this, but after seeing him walk up to Lin Tianren and say a birthday message, he opened the tablet.

I saw a video displayed on the tablet, the video was obviously made by Lin Haocheng himself, and I saw Lin Haocheng facing the camera in the video, and the back of him was red, which made people confused.

After listening to Lin Haocheng in the video, he made a lengthy birthday speech, and the red cloth behind him suddenly moved, and then fell, revealing an antique door.

"Grandpa, this is a garden, I purchased a piece of land in southern Jiangsu three years ago, and then personally designed, supervised the construction, and finally built it. I remember you once said that you would like to live in southern Jiangsu for a while in the summer, but most of the houses there are not what you like, so I built such a garden for you to live in when you want to go to southern Jiangsu in the future. Lin Haocheng said.

Immediately afterwards, you can see that the video screen begins to transform, constantly showing various scenes inside the garden, I have to say that they are quite exquisite and beautiful, and it is rare that everything inside perfectly reproduces the ancient style.

But seeing Lin Haocheng looking at Lin Tianren with anticipation, although the latter was still smiling, if he was a caring person, he might find that he was actually not happy.

I only heard Lin Tianren say: "Haocheng, you are still young, don't spend so much money in the future, this time, grandpa will accept it." After a pause, he said, "Grandpa, I like it too." ”

Lin Haocheng was not stupid, so he naturally heard the meaning, and suddenly his face fell slightly, and he retreated stupidly.

Soon, it was Lin Yichen's turn.

Prior to this, Lin Yichen had ignored this link at all, so he didn't prepare any gifts at all. Originally, he was going to get some shou noodles and something like that (at this point he inherited his father perfectly), but then he was too lazy to move, and finally he had an idea to borrow flowers and offer the Buddha.
