Chapter Twenty-Four: Sheng Qingxi's Gift
Old lady Zhang finally saw his good grandson before he looked forward to it, Sheng Qingxi came by himself, his father and mother and eldest brother arrived first, helping the Zhang brothers greet guests. After Sheng Qingxi came in, he didn't bother to say hello to his father and mother, and directly called two tall helpers to help him move things in.
"Xiaoxi, why are you here now?" Mrs. Zhang smiled with joy when she saw her grandson, although Mrs. Zhang complained on her lips, but her tone seemed to be more coquettish than complaining.
"It's not because of this thing!" Sheng Qingxi smiled and greeted the old lady on her birthday, and saluted the old men.
"It's a birthday present for your grandmother, right? What is such a big thing? The old king asked curiously.
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked people to open the outer packaging, and complained: "What are you doing with so much money on this kid?" Such a large gift must have cost a lot of money, right? ”
"It didn't cost much! And definitely great value for money! You'll see it when you see it! Sheng Qingxi found out that he had earned it after he got the real thing, and the screen he wanted to give to his grandmother alone was worth the full payment he paid, not to mention that there was another set of screens and three ornaments.
"What the hell is it? Hurry up and find out! Mrs. Zhang was impatient and urged people to speed up the unpacking. Soon, the full picture of the screen appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Screens? Or double-sided embroidery! Yes, your grandmother will love this gift! Old lady Zhang said with satisfaction, and the eyes of the old men and old ladies were all attracted by the exquisite screen.
"Yes, this gift is the most popular for me today!" Old Madam Zhang said with a smile. She had already left her seat and walked to the screen, touching the exquisite patterns on the screen with her hands, full of emotion. Mrs. Zhang was born in a famous family, and when she was a child, her house had such a set of screens, but unfortunately they were destroyed in the war. Unexpectedly, the little grandson kept her regrets in his heart, "Good boy! ”
With nostalgia, Mrs. Zhang's eyes were a little red.
"Grandma, today is a good day for you, you can't cry!" Sheng Qingxi didn't expect that her gift would make her grandmother cry, so she hurriedly pretended to be obedient and cleverly bombarded Mrs. Zhang.
"Hey, I haven't seen this stitch, it's a lost stitch. Xiaoxi, which master embroidered this screen? "Lao Jiang Tou's wife is a Suzhou embroiderer, a national treasure, different from others, her focus is on the stitching of embroidery, color matching, stitch density, etc. The old lady was surprised to find that the delicacy of this embroidery was incredibly high, and its embroidery level was higher than her own. The old lady was excited!
"Uh-" Sheng Qingxi took a step back in fright, the old lady's gaze was so warm, "I bought it online, not some master embroidered it." ”
"No way, it must be a master!" Mrs. Tian said, "It is said that the master is in the people, this is true." Xiaoxi, can you help me contact the seller, I want to meet the master of embroidery! ”
"This ...... Well, I'll get you in touch when I get home. Sheng Qingxi hurriedly said. I didn't expect the elegant and gentle Grandma Tian to have such a fanatical time.
"Good, good!" Mrs. Tian was half satisfied, "By the way, do you still have this embroidery there?" Transfer it to Grandma Tian, I'll go back and study it slowly! ”
Facing the old man's burning expectant eyes, Sheng Qingxi dared to say the words of refusal: "There is also a set of screens and three ornaments. ”
"I want it all. Lao Jiang, hurry up and write a check! ”
"Wait a minute!" Lao Wang Tou shouted, "Lao Tian, those who see it have a share." I also like this embroidery, can I share one? I don't fight with you for screens, I just need an ornament! ”
"I want an ornament too!"
"I ......"
Mrs. Tian succumbed to the pressure of everyone and finally agreed to give up the other three ornaments. The old people who didn't get the embroidery complained that Sheng Qingxi didn't buy a few more, Sheng Qingxi wiped his sweat, and hurriedly ran to his uncle to ask for a pen and paper, and wrote down the address of Baitang's online store and distributed it to the old people. Older people don't have access to the internet, but they all have children and grandchildren, and they can ask them to buy for them.
Sheng Qingxi put another set of screens and ornaments behind his own car, and planned to take them home and give the three ornaments to his parents, eldest brother and sister's family, and the screens were placed in his room, but he didn't expect to be divided by a group of elders. I can't complain and cry!
"Xiaoxi, how much?" Old Jiang Tou took out his checkbook.
"No need, Grandpa Jiang, just let me give you a gift, don't give money." Sheng Qingxi waved his hand again and again.
"How's that going to work? How can we, as elders, rob you juniors of things? Old Jiang Tou made a straight face, "Although your Grandpa Jiang's family is not as rich as your family, you can still get a few million." ”
"Grandpa Jiang, there really isn't much money!" Sheng Qingxi looked at his grandfather pleadingly.
"Lao Jiang, what are you doing with the money? This thing is Xiaoxi's filial piety to you, keep it with peace of mind, quickly put away the checkbook, don't be embarrassed. "Even if Mrs. Zhang persuades people, what she says is not good. Fortunately, these people all know that Mrs. Zhang has a bad mouth and will not bother with him.
Old Jiang Tou rolled his eyes and put away the checkbook: "Xiaoxi, at least you have to tell me the price of the screen!" ”
"One million two hundred thousand screens, five hundred thousand ornaments." Sheng Qingxi said.
All the old men and old ladies gasped in unison: "So cheap? ”
"Xiaoxi, you won't say one less zero, right?" The old king asked.
"No! That's the price, two sets of screens and three ornaments for a total of 3.9 million, because I was the first guest, and the boss helped me reduce 100,000! ”
"Oh my God, is this boss a loser or doesn't understand the market price of wood and embroidery? The wood used to make the screen is small-leaved red sandalwood, and the wood used to make the ornaments is agarwood, and the wood alone exceeds the price of the finished product, not to mention the ingenious embroidery inside! Really, really ......" The old king didn't know how to describe the boss who bought things, and they were not mistaken, Bai Tang really didn't know the market price of wood and embroidery. These things are too light, and she still thinks she has earned it!
Sheng Qingxi scratched her head, and also felt that she had taken advantage of Bai Tang, so she decided to contact the boss online tomorrow to remind her.
Next, the birthday banquet officially began, Sheng Qingxi gave up the position next to the old birthday star and the old man to the eldest uncle and the younger uncle, and retreated to his parents.
"You kid has found something good, I'll give you some money tomorrow, and you can order two screens and ten ornaments for me." Zhang Jingyu whispered in her son's ear.
"Mom, what do you want so many ornaments for?"
"Of course it's a giveaway!" Zhang Jingyu glanced at her son, "The screen doesn't need to be combined, just the kind of big screen with an embroidered picture!" ”
