Chapter 42: The Birthday Banquet (6)
"So that's the case, it seems that the old gentleman has the intention of teaching me, although the kid is not talented, he has only read a few days of books, but he still has a lot of insights into the 'jade' stone, otherwise the old gentleman can listen to my explanation?" Xu Yang's face eased after listening to Liang Lao's words, and he smiled confidently.
"You don't have to call me old man, old man! My surname is Liang, my name is Liang Zhan! You can just call me Old Man Liang! Don't speak in that sour tone!"
Xu Yang looked at the old guy surnamed Liang speechlessly, this is clearly a thorn, in the Beijing dialect, it is: Ya Tai is not a thing!
"That's good! Liang Lao, just listen to what I say! You just said that the three 'jade' carvings I gave only account for Fu Shoulu but have no virtue, right! You can always ask such a thing, and you are also a well-educated person, don't you know the praise of the ancients for 'jade'?
The ancients believed that the "virtue" of the 'jade' stone has the saying that "the world is not noble, and the Tao is also". It means that the whole world respects it as a treasure, and it is already a law that does not depend on human will. "A gentleman of words, warm as 'jade'. Therefore, the gentleman is also noble", and the warm 'jade' stone is also the description of the white 'jade' or mutton fat white 'jade'. The ancients' various expositions on "five virtues", "nine virtues" and "eleven virtues" of 'jade' have raised the humanistic connotation of 'jade' to a sacred level!
Therefore, 'jade' itself is virtue, and mutton fat 'jade' is the best in 'jade', the saint of virtue, how can there be no virtue?"
Xu Yang's words made Liang Zhan speechless, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while! Tang Lao already had some smiles on his face, this old guy Liang, his usual temper is stinky, and today he can't let a junior 'get it' off the stage, and see how he will meet people in the future.
"However, Liang Lao should have known this for a long time, just to test me, so that I know that there is also a talk about gift-giving, don't be criticized for not understanding the situation in the future! Boy, thank Liang Lao for being here!" Xu Yang bowed deeply to Liang Zhan after speaking! This kind of behavior made Liang Zhan very embarrassed, an old man of his grandfather's generation bullied a child, and in the end, the little guy found a step for himself!
"Okay! You kid is a little interesting, I'm looking for you to find you, I don't need you to find my face, but you kid knows before and after, that's good! Lao Liang, I took you this love. ”
There are Xu Yang's steps, Liang Zhan's "confession"! The atmosphere on the table will immediately improve! Liu Lao is playing with three 'jade' carvings in his hand, looking at Xu Yang thoughtfully, and secretly thinking in his heart that this is a hidden dragon trapped in the beach, and sooner or later it will soar to the sky! I really like these three 'jade' carvings, but think about the price? I really can't accept it.
"Xiao Xu, I like your three 'jade' carving birthday gifts very much, but I can't ask for them!" Liu Lao said as he put the three 'jade' carvings back into the box.
"Why is this?" Xu Yang asked puzzledly, and at this time, Liu Jianing also went over and hugged Liu Lao's arm and said, "Grandpa, why don't you want this guy to send you, don't want it in vain!"
"Hehe, silly girl, do you know how much this thing is worth?" said Liu Lao patted Liu Jianing's hand dotingly.
"It doesn't matter how much money it is, anyway, if someone sends it, we will ask for it, if you don't want it, I can ask for it!" Liu Jianing said coquettishly.
"Girl, let me tell you this, three years ago, at a foreign auction, a 'jade' carving was auctioned, the size is about the same as one of the 'jade' carvings, whether it is the quality of the 'jade' or the carving workman, these three 'jade' carvings are not as good as these three 'jade' carvings, do you know how much money was auctioned? 4.8 million US dollars! These three 'jade' carvings are already priceless treasures, if you really want to give an auction price, at least more than 300 million yuan! Alas, your grandfather did not have this kind of net worth to buy these three 'jade' carvings!"
Liu Lao's words were like thunder in Xu Yang's ears, rolling in and out! His eyes were straight, and he was dumbfounded! These three things are worth a lot of money, I heard it right, 300 million? Just kidding! I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
Liu Jianing also looked at the three 'jade' carvings stupidly, and thought that it was only three or five million with her appreciation ability of half a bottle of water, but she didn't expect it to be a hundred times over!
"Xiao Xu, you better take this thing back, I am very happy that you came to celebrate the old man's birthday today, and your opinion on 'jade' just now is the best gift for my old man!"
Xu Yang took the gift box and held it carefully in his hand, for fear that it would fall on the ground and break it, it was 300 million, how many big partners would you have to eat!
"Jianing, can you lend me a dollar coin, I'll be useful!" The people present didn't understand what Xu Yang was asking for money for.
"How can I have it now, I can't put money in the dress I wore today!" Liu Jianing reluctantly glanced at the 'jade' carving and said.
"Then Liu Lao must have it. I want to identify this 'jade' carving!" Xu Yang said to Liu Lao.
"Oh, there is also this method of identification, then I want to take a look, to you, old man, I really have a one-yuan coin on me!" said Liu Lao, who took out a one-dollar coin from his pocket.
Xu Yang took the money, and said with a weird smile on his face: "Old Liu, I will accept this money, even if I sell this gift half and give it to your old one!" Originally, your birthday gift should be given to the younger generation, but you said that this thing is too valuable, but in my eyes, this is a white stone, a birthday gift for the elders, so this dollar is half bought and half given to your old one!" said and handed the gift box to Liu Jianing!
Now Liu Jianing didn't take it, didn't take it, stood there stunned, and the people present were all moved, if you want to say that this thing is 30,000, 300,000, 3 million, these people really don't take it seriously, but this is something worth 300 million, this little guy said to give it away. This kind of bearing is really not something that ordinary people can have! And everyone was wondering if Xu Yang had another meaning to send this thing, and everyone looked at Liu Jianing!
Liu Jianing's fierce chick was also embarrassed! Liu Lao suddenly laughed, and then said, "Xiao Xu, you are really ...... What an interesting young man, say, what do you want?"
Liu Lao's words moved everyone present, everyone knows how great the energy of this old man is, not to mention that this sentence is 'mixed' in the country with a death-free gold medal, it is almost the same, and at this time, if Xu Yang said that he wanted to marry Liu Jianing, maybe this old man could agree.
"Old Liu, what you say is boring. In fact, I also know what you think, let's put it this way, when I send something, I only know that this thing is expensive, but I don't know how expensive it is, this is what you just said, even if you really accept it, then I don't know, and when I know, I don't know which year and month!
The second is, Liu Lao, I really don't have anything to ask for you, I don't ask for much, when I first went to college, I thought that I would quickly earn my tuition and living expenses, but now my own four-year college living expenses and tuition fees are enough even if I am a little extravagant, what do I want so much money for? In this way, I have no interests with you! I don't know if there will be any in the future.
In this way, if you still feel that it is not practical to collect it, I will take a compromise solution, you can always take out a piece of money, donate it, or set up a fund, and help those people who can't afford to go to school like me before, and work and study while going to school!"
Xu Yang's words moved the people present at one time, these old guys are all 'shrewd' and fatal, whether Xu Yang is sincere or hypocritical, these people can hear it when they speak, and these people can hear that Xu Yang is definitely sincere.
"Lao Liu, just take it, I still know a little bit about this little guy's character! So I guess he won't want this thing, if you don't want it, then give me this thing, I promise Xiao Xu's request!" said the old man Dongfang Rui on the side.
"Do you want it! I want this thing, march in, go back and discuss it with a few of your brothers, and set up a small Xu Shuo fund, just in his name!" Liu Lao "grabbed" the 'jade' carving and glanced at Dongfang Rui with disdain. Turning back to Liu Jinjun and said.
"Yes!Dad!" Liu Jinjun nodded.
"Uncle Liu, I don't think it's better to use my name, I don't like to be in the limelight!" Xu Yang waved his hand and said.
"Okay, then listen to Xiao Xu, by the way, Xiao Xu! Come and sit here, I just heard you say that you are alone in your family, and you are an orphan?" Liu Lao suddenly asked
