Chapter 223: No Contrast, No Harm
Now, the Brothers can only pretend to be confused, which is the best way.
The old man's eyes, everyone saw it.
They also all knew that this play was handled by the eldest and second eldest of the Ji family, and the things in it were not simple.
And the people were no more talking.
Ji Rushuang saw the old father's eyes glaring at the eldest brother and the second brother, and felt slightly warm in his heart, after all, blood dissolves in water!
Seeing this, Zhang Yurong's anger in his heart weakened a lot, and he also understood that Lao Taishan did not reject him anymore, and it was these brothers and sisters of the Ji family who excluded him and his wife.
Today, he Zhang Yurong is here to celebrate the birthday of the old father-in-law, not to those guys who look down on people.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhang Yurong's face, holding a beautiful wooden box, and together with Ji Rushuang, he stepped forward, came to Ji Lao, and knelt down.
The father said in unison:
"Son-in-law Zhang Yurong (daughter Ji Rushuang), I wish my father-in-law (father) a smile and a happy family. ”
"Haha, okay, okay, good boys, get up!" This time, Ji Lao stood up and personally helped Ji Rushuang and Zhang Yurong up.
Ji Rushuang and his wife felt warm in their hearts.
"Child, I've wronged you!" Ji Lao said softly.
This voice can only be heard by Ji Rushuang and Zhang Yurong who are nearby, except for perverted guys like Chen Xian, of course.
When Ji Rushuang heard his father's words, tears flowed down for some reason.
She was afraid that her father would see it, so she hurriedly lowered her head and secretly reached out to wipe it: today is the day of her father's 90th birthday, how can she cry in front of so many guests!
At this time, the housekeeper took the jade box in Zhang Yurong's hand.
opened it, took out a blue and white porcelain vase, and explained a few words to the master of ceremonies.
Ji Rushuang and Zhang Yurong presented a blue and white porcelain vase worth 30 million yuan from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty. The master of ceremonies announced loudly.
When the people of the surrounding Ji family heard this, their eyes showed sarcasm:
They all felt that as the old man's daughter and son-in-law only gave a gift of 30 million, this congratulatory gift was too light, and the Zhang family was really poor and stingy!
Such a gift is not even as precious as the gifts given by the third-generation leaders of the Ji family.
The Ji family looked down on them more and more in their hearts, Ji Rushuang, Zhang Yurong, Zhang Ziqiang, Zhang Xin and Chen Xian.
However, because of the enthusiasm that the old man had just shown to Ji Rushuang and Zhang Yurong, they didn't dare to speak out directly and ridicule, but just slandered in their hearts.
The other guests did not say anything.
After all, they are all observant of words and feelings.
They came here today to celebrate Ji Lao's birthday, they want to have a good relationship with the Ji family, and it will be more beneficial to their business in the future, not to add to Ji Lao's blockage.
With Ji Rushuang and Zhang Yurong celebrating their birthdays, it was the turn of the people in the outer hall to celebrate their birthdays.
The first to appear was Ji Tianhang's second son Ji Jianbei, who gave him a jade bottle worth 50 million.
After he finished sending it, the other heirs of the Ji family also entered the inner hall one after another, and gave Ji Lao their own congratulatory gifts, the lowest value was 10 million, and some even gave hundreds of millions of congratulatory gifts.
The guests present, listening to the emcee constantly revealing the value of the congratulatory gift, praised the wealth of the Ji family, and the Ji family deserves to be a super family with assets of trillions.
The old man held a birthday banquet, and the congratulatory gifts he received were worth tens of billions.
Half an hour later, the master of ceremonies finally called out the name of "Zhang Ziqiang".
When Zhang Ziqiang heard this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he was shy in his pocket, the value of the gift he gave was only 5 million, which was too far compared with the third generation of the other Ji family's heirs.
A ten-year-old girl gave a congratulatory gift worth 20 million.
However, he can only send 5 million landscape paintings, which is too cold.
However, now Zhang Ziqiang can only enter the inner hall and give the landscape painting to Ji Lao.
Ji Lao accepted it with a smile on his face, and did not look down on the other party because of his nephew's light courtesy.
However, the Ji family present scoffed at this, thinking that the congratulatory gift given by Zhang Ziqiang was too light and shabby.
They didn't dare to mock Ji Rushuang and Zhang Yurong in person, because the other party was an elder, and Ji Lao glared at Ji Tianhang and Ji Tiansheng just now, showing displeasure.
Zhang Ziqiang, who is of the same generation as them, is not welcome, and when Zhang Ziqiang came out of it, they all muttered quietly.
This muttering sound just made Zhang Ziqiang hear it.
"Heh, the Zhang family is really stingy, and they only gave a congratulatory gift of 5 million to their grandfather. ”
"I don't think it's stingy, but, the Zhang family is too cold, Ziqiang's cousin can take out 5 million landscape paintings as a congratulatory gift, it should be smashing the pot and selling iron, hehe!"
"That makes sense, Hanqi, it's too cold!"
"Is Ziqiang's cousin's family so poor, why is the gift not as valuable as mine?"
“......”
Listening to the sarcastic words of his cousins and cousins, Zhang Ziqiang was angry and ashamed, his cheeks were slightly red, like a monkey's buttocks, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down.
"Below, I invite Ji Lao's granddaughter Zhang Xin and boyfriend Chen Xian to enter the inner hall to celebrate their birthday. ”
At this time, the high-pitched and solemn voice of the master of ceremonies resounded in the hall.
When Chen Xian and Zhang Xin heard this, they took a step forward and walked towards the place where the old man Ji of the inner hall was.
The third-generation members of the Ji clan behind them looked at the backs of the two and discussed softly.
"Zhang Xin's cousin and boyfriend, shouldn't they be like her brother, they can only give a few million congratulatory gifts, right?"
"Needless to say, the Zhang family is so poor, they must only be able to send a few million congratulatory gifts. ”
"Zhang Xin's cousin's boyfriend looks pretty good, shouldn't he be so shabby?"
"The marriage of a big family pays attention to the right family, a family like the Zhang family, the son-in-law that can be found, how strong do you say it can be?"
"It's the right door, and it makes sense. ”
“......”
In the whispered ridicule of the other cousins, Chen Xian and Zhang Xin came to Ji Lao and saluted: "Zhang Xin (Chen Xian), I wish my grandfather (the old birthday star) a blessing as deep as the East China Sea, and a longevity longer than Nanshan!
"Good boy, you all get up!" said Ji Lao with a kind smile on his face.
The butler stepped forward and took the wooden box that Chen Xian was holding.
The appearance of this wooden box is simple, ordinary, and there is nothing unusual about it.
Those Ji disciples looked at the wooden box in the butler's hand, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show a look of sarcasm.
Such a wooden box, at first glance, is a low-grade product, should it be a congratulatory gift inside, not even a million Hualong coins!
This is what many people think.
Under the sneering gaze of the Ji family's disciples, the housekeeper opened the lid of the box.
Originally, the housekeeper was not interested in the congratulatory gifts contained in ordinary wooden boxes.
He thinks that there will definitely be nothing good in such a wooden box.
However, when the housekeeper saw the contents of the wooden box, his hands trembled, and he almost couldn't hold it steadily.
