Leaving the Wang family, Li Jiu found a stationery store and bought a box of ink clay.

Then he took out the seal of immortality and stamped it on the birthday poem he had written.

After doing all this, Li Jiu used his mobile phone to take a good photo of Yan and Zhu Shoushi and sent it to Xia Xueyi.

……

Although Li Jiu said that his friend had something, Li Jiu didn't say what it was.

Xia Guodong has never been able to calm down in his heart, Li Jiu's words made him, who was originally desperate, rekindle the hope in his heart, so his heart has been very anxious.

After Li Jiu left, Xia Guodong's cigarette had not been broken, and the house was already full of smoke and miasma.

Xia Xueyi is calm on the surface, much better than Xia Guodong's performance, but she is also very nervous inside.

Seeing that Li Jiu was leaving for longer and longer, the anxiety and tension in Xia Xueyi's heart became stronger and stronger.

"Xiaoxue, you said he wouldn't lie to us, right?"

When he finished smoking a cigarette again, Xia Guodong finally couldn't help it and asked.

"Dad, he won't lie to us about such a big thing!"

Although Xia Xueyi said so, she also had some worries in her heart.

"You said that he is a poor boy who graduated from college, so if he can meet rich friends, even if he knows, why should people give him things!"

Xia Guodong asked his rich friends for help before, but they were all rejected.

This gave Xia Guodong a deeper understanding of the four words of human affection, and with the addition of Li Jiu's identity, Xia Guodong did not believe Li Jiu at all.

"Dad......"

When Xia Xueyi was about to explain, her mobile phone rang, and when she opened the message, when she saw the photo Li Jiu sent him, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and the tension in her heart dissipated.

"Dad, I've got it, take a look!"

In the next second, Xia Xueyi handed the phone to Xia Guodong, but the moment she handed out the phone, she showed a trace of doubt in her heart.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the words were somewhat familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

Xia Xueyi and Li Jiu have been married for three years, although they have not communicated much in the past three years, they still understand each other's living habits and hobbies.

When Li Jiu is idle, she writes some calligraphy, but she didn't care about these before.

So for Li Jiu's words, she only had an impression, but she was not familiar enough to recognize them at a glance.

"It's ......"

Just as Xia Xueyi was thinking carefully about those words, Xia Guodong, who took the phone, suddenly exclaimed, and even his breathing became short.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

This exclamation directly interrupted Xia Xueyi's thoughts, she looked up at Xia Guodong with a surprised face, and then walked quickly to Xia Guodong's side and looked at the photo on her phone.

"This is the Canglong Water Inkstone, which appeared on the auction house two years ago, and was finally auctioned off for five million."

There is an auction in Qingzhou every year, and as a new wealthy family in Qingzhou, the Xia family is naturally qualified to participate.

Although Xia Guodong is not good at business acumen, he has never fallen behind in these activities.

The moment he saw the photo, the memory in Xia Guodong's mind gradually emerged.

"Canglong playing in the water inkstone?"

Xia Xueyi obviously didn't know all this, she frowned slightly, and asked.

"This shape is definitely Canglong playing in the water inkstone, if this thing is real, no matter what gift the second child takes this time, he can't compare to us!"

When he said this, Xia Guodong was a little excited.

Others may not know Canglong playing in the water inkstone, but he Xia Guodong knows it very well.

After a few seconds of short thoughts, Xia Guodong explained to Xia Xueyi.

A few years ago, this Canglong water inkstone appeared at the auction in Qingzhou City.

The inkstone has four beauties, the material, carving, calligraphy is extremely cultural.

Canglong water inkstone came from the Song Dynasty, and later passed through the hands of countless literati, and finally passed to the present, with a history of more than 800 years, it has witnessed the rise and fall of one dynasty after another.

This inkstone, it is not only an inkstone, but also represents a strong heritage, gathering the arrogance of the literati.

Old Man Xia has always regarded himself as a half-literati, and he has always liked to collect things from ancient literati.

At the beginning, when he heard that Canglong was going to be auctioned at the Qingzhou auction, he couldn't sleep at night, but unfortunately, the Xia family had just developed and needed too many places to make money.

In the end, the old man could only give up.

Xia Guodong knew very well that if this Fang Yan was true, then this time for his birthday, no matter what his younger brother Xia Guoliang sent, he would be crushed to death.

Xia Guodong's expression was completely different at this time, and he desperately hoped that Li Jiu would come back as soon as possible, so that he could identify whether it was genuine.

Xia Xueyi saw all the changes in Xia Guodong's expression, and when she listened to Xia Guodong's explanation, she was also a little looking forward to it.

Li Jiu didn't let the two of them wait too long.

As soon as Li Jiu entered the house, Xia Guodong got up to greet him, and then took the things directly from Li Jiu's hands and began to study.

This is the first time Li Jiu has seen such a Xia Guodong, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Open the wooden box, and the palm-sized inkstone lies there quietly.

Xia Guodong lowered his head and looked carefully at which inkstone, and his brain worked hard to search for the memory of the Canglong playing inkstone.

"Thank you!"

Compared with Xia Guodong, Xia Xueyi is much calmer.

She knew very well that all the credit was on Li Jiu, and if it weren't for Li Jiu, this time would be a huge crisis for her side.

Xia Xueyi is not good at expressing herself, countless words of gratitude flickered in her mind, but when the words came to her mouth, there were only three words left.

"Family, what's polite, as long as you can be happy, I can do anything."

For Li Jiu, these three words are enough.

"There should be nothing wrong with it!"

Xia Guodong was completely attracted by the Canglong Water Inkstone at this time, he didn't even know where to take a pair of gloves, and carefully touched the inkstone, completely ignoring Li Jiu's existence.

Xia Xueyi doesn't understand antiques, she doesn't know whether the inkstone is real or fake.

But today's performance of Li Jiu completely subverted her previous view of Li Jiu, and subconsciously, she had already decided that the inkstone was real.

"It's been a hard day, let's rest early!"

A rare trace of tenderness appeared on Xia Xueyi's face, and when she finished saying this, Xia Xueyi turned her head to look at the inkstone.

It's just that when her eyes fell on the birthday poem that Li Jiu brought back, her heart suddenly burst into a burst of thought, and the things that she couldn't grasp were all coherent at this moment.

Thinking so in her heart, Xia Xueyi subconsciously walked to the coffee table, and then silently opened the birthday poem.

……

"You wrote the birthday poem!"

In the bedroom, Li Jiu had just laid down when Xia Xueyi's voice came.

"If I say yes, will you dare to send it out tomorrow?"

Li Jiu did not imitate others, and the words were completely his own style, but the most valuable thing about the birthday poem was not the words, but the seal of longevity.

Xia Xueyi's question Li Jiu had thought about it a long time ago, so when he heard Xia Xueyi's inquiry, there was no surprise.

"The words are not bad, what dare you not send!"

After being silent for a long time, Xia Xueyi suddenly smiled and replied.

"Actually, my words are imitated by others, and that birthday poem was also given by my friend!"

Li Jiu smiled and continued: "If you give a gift for your birthday, you always feel that something is missing, and it just so happens that my friend has this birthday poem, so I will give it to me." ”

"Really?"

Xia Xueyi had just carefully read the birthday poem, and secretly found the words written by Li Jiu before to compare it.

Xia Xueyi didn't believe Li Jiu's answer at all, but she didn't break it, and after saying this, she didn't bother with Li Jiu.

Nothing was said all night.

……

Heavenly Palace in the Clouds!

This is a top place that belongs to the upper class society of Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou tycoons celebrate their birthdays, birthdays, marriages and other activities, will be held here, usually want to charter the Cloud Heavenly Palace at least a month in advance, and need to pay a one-time fee of one million.

In order to fully integrate the Xia family into the upper class society of Qingzhou, the birthday banquet of Xia Lao's seventieth birthday will be held here.

As the eldest son of the Xia family, Xia Guodong had a lot of things that he needed to do, so he took his family to the Cloud Heavenly Palace early.

The 66-storey Yuntian Building is the tallest building in Qingzhou City, and when the clouds and mist are shrouded, standing on the top floor, it is as if it has reached the heavenly realm, hence the name of the sky among the clouds.

The combination of Chinese and Western decoration, combined with the bright glass windows around it, can take in the panoramic view of Qingzhou City.

No matter who you are, as long as you stand here, there will be a kind of pride rising from the bottom of your heart, as if the whole world has been trampled under your feet.

Although the Xia family has gradually stepped into the ranks of wealthy families, it is also the first time to come to this kind of place.

Each of them was shocked in their hearts at this moment.

Even Li Jiu's mood fluctuated slightly, but after a short exclamation, he recovered as before.

As time passed, guests continued to arrive, and the whole sky gradually became lively.

Twelve o'clock at noon!

The birthday party has officially begun!

In the midst of all the attention, the real helmsman of the Xia family, Xia Lao Xia Changqing, appeared in everyone's sight with a cane.

The noise around them stopped almost instantly, and everyone's eyes fell on Xia Changqing.

Xia Guodong and Xia Guoliang hurriedly stepped forward, one left and one right, and helped Xia Changqing to the most central seat on the stage.

Most of these guests are Xia Changqing's first-grade existence, and only a few of them have a higher status than Xia Changqing.

But no matter which one it is, it can be regarded as a presence with a head and a face in Qingzhou City, Meng Changqing looked at these people, and he was also a little proud in his heart, he nodded to everyone, and then waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"Dad, this is a pair of jasper unicorns that I have specially customized, I wish you good luck and good health, and a long life!"

The guests sat down, Xia Guoliang beckoned, and the summer camp came to Xia Changqing with a pair of jade unicorns.

Zhu Shou was originally the eldest son first, Xia Guodong never expected that Xia Guoliang would come to this hand, and for a while, he couldn't react.
