Chapter 46: Birthday Gift Competition!
Seeing the old lady coming, all the people sitting in the hall stood up, their bodies straight, and all of them stood straight.
Although Mrs. Wu is only a woman, she has been in charge of the Wu family for decades and has accumulated prestige for decades. Her status in the Wu family can be described as a masterpiece.
The old lady looked at the full house of children and grandchildren, and it was her seventieth birthday, and she was also extraordinarily spiritual.
However, behind that spirit there is a loneliness that cannot be concealed, although their Wu family still has the title of a family, but it has sunset, and it is not the same.
Not to mention compared with other families in Jiangcheng, even the big and second rooms of the Wu family, their rooms are far inferior.
The second generation of the Wu family has collapsed, and now the only hope for Mrs. Wu to revive the Wu family is the third generation.
Among them, there are still a few relatively good children, such as Wu Ying, who has already achieved the position of the captain of the law enforcement brigade at a young age, and his future is limitless.
There is also Wu Di, who opened a company with good benefits, and is already a multimillionaire at such a young age.
As for the rest of the people, the old lady didn't pay much attention to it, and just took advantage of this birthday banquet to observe and observe.
From the birthday gifts given by these younger generations, you can see how these people are mixed.
If it is mixed well, the value of the birthday gift will naturally be high, and if it is mixed poorly, it will naturally not give anything valuable.
The old lady's gaze swept around the children of the third generation of the Wu family one by one, and finally fell on Ye Feng's body.
A complicated look appeared in her eyes, and scenes from the past came to mind, followed by a silent sigh, and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes.
Under everyone's gaze, the old lady slowly sat on the throne today.
The first thing about the Wu family's birthday banquet is naturally that the old lady accepts the blessings of the juniors, and to put it bluntly, it is a birthday gift.
This is an extremely important part of the process, and it is a great opportunity to show your face.
Whoever gives a good birthday gift and who gives a birthday gift with a high value will naturally be the best and can be in the limelight in front of all people.
"Virtue is important to the world, and longevity is respected by people. People sing longevity, heaven and rare age. 666 Shun, 100-year-old life, today is the happy day of the 70th birthday of the mother, Er Chengxin sincerely wishes the mother the good health, specially sent the calligrapher Mr. Yan Weishi Mobao a picture, for the mother's birthday! ”
Ye Feng's uncle Wu Chengxin was the first to congratulate him on his birthday, and as soon as his words fell, two juniors stepped forward with two longevity couplets, which read "Shoubi Nanshan, blessing like the East China Sea" Eight powerful brush characters.
Although a longevity couplet is not valuable, it is the head of the calligrapher Mr. Yan Weishi, and it suddenly looks different.
There are rows of noodles!
"Okay." The old lady looked at the eight big characters and liked it.
Wu Chengxin made a start, and then the elders of the Wu family stepped forward to congratulate him on his birthday, and the gifts were also varied. Some are ingenious, some are valuable.
These elders are so old, and they don't have any intention of being in the limelight, purely to make the old lady happy, and they don't have anything to look at.
What is really looking forward to is the birthday of the third generation of the Wu family, that is, the juniors.
Young people like to be in the limelight, they are all riveting on gifts, and they want to compete, which is not only a good opportunity to show their faces, but also a time to show their strength.
Whoever is the most dazzling at the birthday banquet and who can please the old lady the most, then the resources of the Wu family will definitely be tilted towards whoever in the future.
The first birthday celebration is naturally the long house chief Sun Wu Jin.
Ye Feng almost laughed out loud when he saw Wu Jin's appearance.
Wu Jin was raped and beaten by his third aunt Ye Li just now, and dealt with it simply, but it still looked like he had a blue nose and swollen face, and two band-aids were attached to his eyebrow bones and sideburns, which looked quite funny on this occasion.
"Huh? Jin'er, what's wrong with your face? The old lady looked at the scarred appearance on Wu Jin's face and was taken aback.
Wu Jin subconsciously looked at Ye Liqiang in the crowd, but when he saw Ye Liqiang staring at him with murderous eyes, he shrunk his neck and said with an embarrassed face: "Grandma, I accidentally fell by myself." The grandson gave a jade peach to wish grandma a long life. ”
After speaking, after giving the gift, Wu Jin hurriedly covered his face and went down.
Looking at Wu Jin's embarrassed appearance, everyone held back a smile.
At this time, it was Wu Chao's turn.
Looking at Wu Chao's appearance, he is even worse than Wu Jin, with two panda eyes on his head, and his face is swollen like a pig's head.
"Chao'er, what's wrong with you?" The old lady was even more surprised.
Wu Chao grinned, almost cried, and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, I'...... I fell with my brother. ”
Ahh
Everyone finally couldn't help it, and the hall burst into laughter, and the entire birthday banquet hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Go down, go down." The old lady waved her hand at Wu Chao with an impatient expression.
On such an important occasion as their birthday banquet, these two brothers made their noses blue and their faces swollen, and they became the laughing stock of everyone, which is really embarrassing!
"Grandma, Mei'er went to Puji Temple to ask for a jade pendant for your birthday, and blessed grandma with a smile." Wu Mei stepped forward and found a beautifully packaged gift box on the ground.
The old lady opened it and looked at it, a thick smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Yes, it is made of good green jade, Xiaomei has a heart, and grandma is happy." ”
The best green jade?
Although it is only a small jade pendant, it must be worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Many elders in the audience looked at Wu Mei and nodded with satisfaction.
Wu Mei went down with a smug face and returned to her seat.
After Wu Mei, the third generation of the Wu family came forward to celebrate her birthday, although the gifts were all good and worth a lot of money, none of them could exceed 100,000.
Although Mrs. Wu kept smiling, she felt more uncomfortable than anyone else.
A few days ago, she attended an old friend's birthday party, and the gift from her juniors was really a luxury. There are more than a dozen gifts of more than 100,000, five gifts of more than 500,000, and even one gift of more than one million.
On the other hand, in their Wu family, none of these juniors' gifts can cost 100,000.
It's not that the old lady likes to receive expensive gifts, but it can be seen from this that the younger generation of their Wu family is not very good, and they can't be compared with other families at all, which is where the old lady feels uncomfortable.
Seeing that everyone's gifts are almost gone, Wu Di feels that it is time for him to appear at this time, and his imitation of the Hetian white jade horse seems to be about to finale.
At this time, the eyes of many people in the audience fell on Wu Di.
Wu Di straightened his clothes, walked to the front of the banquet hall, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Grandson Wu Di, I wish grandma all her wishes come true, smile often, full of children and grandchildren, perfect, and specially send the treasure of Bao Fei Li Town Store - a copy of Hetian white jade horse!" ”
The five words of Hetian Bai Yuma, Wu Di said it very loudly.
Immediately after Wu Di waved his hand, two people immediately stepped forward, holding a beautifully packaged gift box, and opened it on the spot in front of everyone.
A beautiful, crystal clear jade horse was presented in the realization of everyone, and suddenly, there were bursts of exclamations in the field.
That jade horse was so beautiful, dazzling, and extraordinary.
"Cousin Wu Di is really generous, this imitation is carved from fine white jade, worth 300,000!"
"Wow, 300,000, among so many gifts, the gift given by Wu Di is the most valuable."
"That's not a big deal, Wu Di is so rich, it's hundreds of thousands of dollars to give a gift."
"It seems that Wu Di is the best among the juniors of our Wu family, and he is extraordinary."
Listening to the voices of discussion in the field, Wu Di's face was radiant and triumphant.
Even the old lady Wu couldn't close her mouth happily, and personally got down from the main seat, reaching out to touch the jade horse, obviously very fond of it.
"Okay, good," the old lady said three good words in a row, "Di'er really has a heart, I like this jade horse very much, but it makes Di'er break the bank." ”
"Hahaha-"
Wu Di bent down and said with a flattering face: "Grandma, as long as it can make you happy, I am willing to spend as much money as possible." ”
Everyone gave a thumbs up, Wu Di is really filial.
At this time, Wu Di cleared his throat again, stood in the most conspicuous position in the hall, and said loudly: "Grandma, as well as the elders, cousins. Let me tell you one thing, before the birthday banquet, I made a bet with Ye Feng. Whoever gives the most valuable gift will win the bet, and the losing side will serve tea and water to the winning side, bow and apologize. ”
"Ye Feng, do you think there is such a thing?"
Wu Di looked at Ye Feng, who was at the end of the crowd, and shouted with a smug expression.
Brush Brush Brush!
Suddenly, one after another eyes fell on Ye Feng's body.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Feng slowly stepped forward and said lightly: "There is such a thing. ”
"Well, taking advantage of Grandma's birthday banquet, everyone will be a witness, and the losing party will not regret it." Wu Di looked at Ye Feng who was walking slowly, and said proudly.
"Naturally, I can't." Ye Feng smiled.
"Haha, everyone heard that." Wu Di smiled on his face and said, "Ye Feng, come, put your gift on the table for the elders to see." Can the stall goods be compared with my Hetian white jade horse imitation? Huh-"
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Feng took out his own box from the gift pile and placed it in front of everyone.
Looking at the shabby and old packaging, everyone was suddenly disappointed, and their eyes showed a thick color of disdain.
Wu Xiuju couldn't help it, stepped forward and said, "Ye Feng, can you not come out and be embarrassed, just this broken box, how much is it worth?" ”
"Haha, aunt, don't say that, Cousin Ye Feng is living in poverty, and it's good to be able to come up with a gift. As the saying goes, courtesy is light and affection is important. Wu Dile said hehehe.
"Ye Feng, the first time you participated in your grandmother's birthday banquet, you actually bought a stall, is there any sincerity? Are you sincerely disgusting grandma? Wu Jin, who had been hiding his head and shrinking his tail, also jumped out to accuse Ye Feng at this time.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wu's face suddenly became gloomy, she celebrated her birthday, Ye Feng took a tattered thing, what does this mean?
"Hehe, little wild seed, I knew that this little wild seed would not have any good intentions, just like his damn mother." In the crowd, a Wu family elder said coldly.
Ye Feng glanced at the Wu family elder and frowned.
"Hahaha, don't say it, Ye Feng doesn't dare to take out the gift if you say it again, come on, Ye Feng, take out your gift and compare it with mine." Wu Di hurriedly said.
In the disdainful gaze, Ye Feng opened the box, took out a jade monkey from it, and said, "Grandson Ye Feng blesses grandma Shoubi Nanshan and gives a jade monkey!" ”
Seeing the jade monkey, Wu Di sighed in his heart, could it be that this is the jade monkey in the Bao Philippe store that costs 200,000 yuan?
Everyone was also shocked, and when they saw that the jade monkey in Ye Feng's hand was extraordinary, they knew that it was worth a lot.
Sure enough, Wu Chengxin stepped forward and took the jade monkey and looked at it twice, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes: "A jade monkey carved from Hetian jade?" ”
"Not bad." Ye Feng nodded and said, "This is bought from Bao Feili, Hetian Jade Monkey, and the price is 200,000." ”
Snort –
There was a sudden sound of gasping air in the field, originally they thought that Ye Feng was buying stall goods, but they didn't expect it to be a jade monkey made of Hetian jade, worth 200,000!
In addition to Wu Di's gift, Ye Feng's gift is valuable.
The people who mocked Ye Feng before all had incredible expressions on their faces.
Even Wu Xiuju was stunned, Ye Feng, a poor man, where did he get so much money to buy a jade monkey? Could it be that it was borrowed from Wu Ying?
"It's okay, it's just a jade monkey, not as expensive as my gift." Wu Di patted his chest, then stepped forward, pointed at the jade monkey and said to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, it really surprised me that you could take out this jade monkey, but you still lost this bet." ”
"Yes, this jade monkey is 200,000, and Wu Di's white jade horse imitation is 300,000, a difference of 100,000."
"It was Ye Feng who lost, so he quickly bowed to Wu Di and apologized, and poured tea and water."
"Hurry up, Ye Feng, I am willing to lose the bet."
Many young people in the audience cheered at Ye Feng.
Wu Di also looked proud, and said, "Ye Feng, why are you still stunned, come over and bow to me first." ”
Ye Feng didn't pay attention to them, but looked at Old Lady Wu and said, "Grandma, this is just the first gift from Feng'er, and the second one-"
As he spoke, Ye Feng slowly took out the second gift from the box, opened it and pointed and said:
"The treasure of the Bao Fei Li Town Store - Hetian White Jade Horse!"
"The whole body is carved from Hetian beautiful jade, and it shocked Jiangcheng on the day it came out, and the price was 50 million!"
Ye Feng took a step forward, bent down slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Feng'er has two birthday gifts, I wish grandma a blessing like the East China Sea, and a long life!" ”
