Chapter Fifty-Seven: Another Piece of Mutton Fat White Jade?
At the main table in the hall, Lu Guozhang's relatives were all gathered around the main table, and Xiao Yu's nephew Hanghang was not afraid of being born, sitting at the table and looking curiously at the people around him.
All the guests who came today also stood up and looked at the main table, knowing that giving gifts to children is one of the highlights of the day, and the number and quality of gifts for a child shows the energy of a family, so this link is very important in this place in the same city.
"Everyone, thank you for coming to participate in Xiao Sun's New Year's wine, I, Lu Guozhang, thank you all here!" Lu Guozhang glanced at the relatives and people at other tables who were standing around the main table, bowed and said.
In fact, this opening remark should have been said by Xiao Yu's brother-in-law Lu Jianhong, but today many heads of various units came, and even Zhang Dapeng, secretary of the municipal party committee, also came, so Lu Jianhong's weight was not enough, and it had to be said by Lu Guozhang to appear sincere.
"Today, my Lao Lu feels very honored, Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee came to participate in Xiao Sun's full year wine in his busy schedule, my Lao Lu is clumsy, and he will not speak if he is obedient, and now I will invite Secretary Zhang to speak!" After Lu Guozhang finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Dapeng.
"Hehe, today Lao Lu's grandson is full of wine, I won't take the lead, this is a longevity lock that my wife bought for the child yesterday, I wish the child a long life!" Zhang Dapeng took out a delicate gift box from his pocket, opened it, revealing a silver-white longevity lock, handed it to Lu Guozhang and said.
buzzing
The whole hall seemed to be ignited in an instant, all kinds of discussions sounded, everyone didn't expect Zhang Dapeng not only to come, but also to give gifts, although it is not much valuable but silver, but it represents a different meaning, this lock is estimated to give Lu Guozhang a gold he will not change now.
Lu Guozhang is in his fifties, this will also blush, when has he ever seen a gift from a superior to a subordinate grandson when he is full of New Year's wine, it is a privilege to come. Of course, he also knows what Zhang Dapeng means, but what does it matter, between the mayor and the secretary of the municipal party committee, he has to choose one, and now the secretary of the municipal party committee has shown enough sincerity and given him enough face, he will naturally return the favor.
And Zhang Dapeng's purpose has also been achieved, what he wants is this effect, so that the people below will know that Lu Guozhang is his Zhang Dapeng's person.
For Zhang Dapeng's hand, Xiao Yu couldn't see it, only Wan Hongguang raised his eyebrows and showed a meaningful smile.
The next thing is that Lu Guozhang and his wife Liu Jinhua gave a gift, Lu Guozhang took a golden lock and hung it around his neck for his grandson: "I hope my grandson is healthy, smart, and will be a useful person to society in the future!" Because many of the people who came today were his subordinates, he finally said an official word.
After Lu Guozhang and Liu Jinhua gave the gifts, Xiao Yu took out a jade Guanyin pendant made of jadeite, of course, it is not a very good jadeite, although their family is not short of money, but they can't afford to buy particularly valuable things. This also has to say that although Lu Guozhang looks down on Xiao Yu's family and thinks that Xiao Yu is not worthy of his son, but this person is okay as an official, Xiao Yu doesn't know if he has power or not, but he shouldn't be greedy, at least when his subordinates come today, the gift can't exceed two hundred yuan.
This is also Lu Guozhang has worked in the same city for half his life, how many officials at the same time as him have fallen due to corruption, but he has never been able to stand, from a small clerk to the throne of deputy mayor.
"Come, this is Uncle's gift to Hanghang!"
Originally, after the child's parents gave the gift, Xiao Yu, who should be the uncle, gave it, and Xiao Yu also walked to the main table, and Jia Youcai, who had been standing at the edge of the table, saw Xiao Yu coming over, and his eyes rolled to the main table and said.
For Jia Youcai's words, the main table was stunned, according to the rules, it should be the child's uncle's turn to give gifts, how did he come out, but people didn't say anything, Jia Youcai opened a construction company in the same city with the help of the Lu family, and now the rumors are rising.
Lu Guozhang didn't say anything, he never took Xiao Yu seriously.
Xiao Yu froze when he heard Jia Youcai's words, and then his originally smiling face sank instantly, and secretly pinched Lu Jianhong with his hand, hoping that he would say something, but Lu Jianhong could only smile bitterly, and by the way, he stopped Xiao Yu who was about to speak, after all, people are giving gifts, and they can't stop others from giving gifts!
Xiao Yu said goodbye to Song Hushan and the others and came to the main table to salute, while Chen Ying was telling Song Hushan and the others about Xiao Yu's purchase of jade, so Xiao Yu should be one of the best pieces of mutton fat white jade.
Suddenly, everyone found that Xiao Yu, who had just walked to the main table, was blocked by the crowd inside, and they were all stunned, and Song Hushan and the others couldn't help but leave their seats and come to the main table.
Jia Youcai couldn't help but smile proudly when he saw everyone looking at him, and took out a delicately packaged wooden box from his bag, Jia Youcai took the box, and once again defiantly glanced at Xiao Yu outside the crowd and slowly walked to Lu Jianhong's son Hanghang, although it was a gift for the child, but Jia Youcai looked at Lu Guozhang and Zhang Dapeng, and saw that both of them were also paying attention to this side, and smiled more and more proudly.
Jia Youcai slowly opened the wooden box, and said while opening his mouth: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, in fact, the jade here is the mutton fat white jade I took!" ”
Jia Youcai took out a piece of white jade, the jade surface was very white, the texture was delicate, the luster was moisturizing, and the shape was like clotted fat.
Jia Youcai took the jade and shook it in the air, and said: "This piece of jade is the best of the mutton fat white jade that I have worked hard to transfer!" ”
"Son, you spent a lot of money on this jade!" An old lady in her 60s sitting there at the main table smiled proudly, looked at the jade in Jia Youcai's hand and asked.
In fact, she knows the value of this jade, and he also knows that now her son is good at borrowing Lu Guozhang's power, originally Jia Youcai bought back this piece of jade, she was not happy, but her son reasoned with her, she also figured it out, Jia Youcai also specially told her, don't say anything about the value of jade, a clear-eyed person doesn't know the value as long as he sees it.
But Jia Youcai's mother is a small citizen, I gave a gift to your family, I have to let you know the value, know how much my family has sent. That's why the old lady asked.
After listening to his mother's questioning, he didn't want to say anything about the value, but when he saw so many people looking at him, he said a little bit of a show-off: "Hey, I met a person who didn't know the goods and sold this superb mutton fat white jade to me as an ordinary Hetian white jade, and it cost me 108,808!" ”
At the moment when Jia Youcai said the price, the people around the main table were all 'booming' and discussing, some praised him for picking up the leak, some said that he was generous, and some young people looked enviously at Jia Youcai who could make a fortune by taking advantage of the Lu family's power.
Jia Youcai glanced around with a villainous look, and just saw Xiao Yu standing outside the main table, his eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, "You asked for it."
"Everyone, be quiet, everyone welcomes the child's uncle to give gifts!" Jia Youcai looked at Xiao Yu and applauded. Although he was applauding, his gaze at Xiao Yu was one of contempt and schadenfreude.
Xiao Yu heard Jia Youcai say this, her face immediately changed, although she knew that her brother was not short of money, but she didn't ask her brother what gifts he bought, of course, she didn't care what gifts he bought, she was just afraid that Xiao Yu would be wronged.
At this time, everyone looked at Xiao Yu, and none of the people sitting there were fools, they all saw that Jia Youcai had bad intentions, but everyone didn't know Xiao Yu, so they all showed a kind of look at the play.
Xiao Yu walked to the main table, did not leave Jia Youcai, but looked at his nephew and said, "Hanghang, call uncle!" ”
"Doudou, Doudou!" The child's immature voice sounded.
"Well, good boy, yes, come, this is a gift from your uncle!" Xiao Yu took out a piece of jade from his pocket and hung it around the child's neck.
Chen Ying looked at one of the three pieces of mutton fat white jade that he sold to him, and looked at Chen Yingyou frowned, this piece of jade was sold to him by himself, he still remembered, if he looked closely, he would find that this piece of jade was a little different from when he was in his hand, but he couldn't tell where it was different.
