Chapter 102: Schadenfreude
"There's no hurry, it's too late to eat." Old Man Lu said lightly.
Lu Yan had a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth, and when she picked up the wine glass, she raised her eyebrows at Shen Qingqiu, who was sitting next door to her, with a little provocation in her eyes.
In the past, Shen Qingqiu had never participated in the old man's birthday banquet, but this year, he naturally prepared gifts.
Lu Yan deliberately glanced at the things sent by Shen Qingqiu, the box packaging looked unremarkable, and it was not a valuable thing at first glance.
Shen Qingqiu noticed her gaze and didn't do anything, just calmly picked up the water glass and took a sip.
After the dinner, Lu Yan asked the servants to bring out all the gifts, and there were always dozens of them.
The relatives on the table opened the gifts they had carefully selected one by one, and placed them on the table like gifts for the old man to see.
As we all know, Mr. Lu likes to play calligraphy and painting, so most of the congratulatory gifts are to his liking.
It is rare that Mr. Liang of a Juli Group sent a Qing Dynasty white jade set lapis lazuli dragon pattern brush.
Until Lu Yan opened the gift carefully prepared by Sun Nianyao, "Grandpa, do you like this inkstone?" ”
As he spoke, he handed the inkstone sent by Sun Nianyao to the old man.
Old Man Lu raised his eyes and looked at the inkstone, and was suddenly overjoyed, "This is ...... Qing Kangxi imperial Songhua stone dragon horse inkstone?! ”
Shen Qingqiu lifted his eyes and looked, and suddenly the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
Sun Nianyao responded: "Yes, Grandpa Lu, I specially visited a collector and bought this inkstone from him, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
"This inkstone is worth a lot of money, if I dislike it, won't I become more and more ignorant?" Old Man Lu said jokingly.
He carefully held the inkstone, which was not very exquisitely carved, but it was made of special material.
As a royal inkstone, this pine stone is monopolized by the palace and is often used as a reward for ministers, so the pine stone inkstone is rare among the people.
He looked at it again and again, holding it in his hand and stroking it lovingly, Rao didn't like Sun Nianyao very much, and at this time he had to say sincerely, "Miss Sun has a heart." ”
"Grandpa, if you like it, it's fine." Sun Nianyao was down-to-earth and generous, without the slightest attitude of inviting merit and arrogance.
It's just that as soon as this inkstone came out, all the gifts around it became a foil in an instant.
"Nian Yao has lost a lot of weight during this time, and she refuses to say anything when she asks her, it turns out that she is planning how to please the old man, it is really rare to have such filial piety."
Mrs. Lu praised Sun Nianyao as an example, and the people around her also echoed her, "Sister-in-law is really a blessing, her son is outstanding, and even her future daughter-in-law is so satisfied, which is really enviable." ”
"If I get such a caring daughter-in-law, I really want to burn high incense."
"Nian Yao is a rare good girl, Ah Hao, you must hurry! Otherwise, Nian Yao won't want you one day, and you won't have a place to cry! ”
"If you want me to say, Nian Yao and Ah Hao are of the same age, and the two grew up together, so they should make a marriage contract as early as possible, and our Lu family can also import Ding as soon as possible."
Seeing that everyone was talking more and more outrageous, Sun Nianyao shyly got into Lu Hao's arms, but faintly found that Lu Hao was a little absent-minded.
She snuggled up to Lu Hao's chest, followed his line of sight, and saw Shen Qingqiu sitting not far away, secretly gritting her teeth, but still showing a gentle smile on her face, "Ah Hao, what's wrong?" ”
Lu Hao came back to his senses suddenly, and happened to hear the second aunt say: "Ah Hao, Nian Yao is infatuated with you, you can't afford to lose people." ”
Lu Hao's hand around her waist tightened a little, and looked at Sun Nianyao in his arms, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Definitely not." ”
Seeing this, the relatives of the Lu family showed ambiguous smiles on their faces.
When everyone spoke, they secretly looked at Shen Qingqiu, who was sitting not far away, trying to see any clues on her face.
However, this woman tasted tea as usual, as if she was out of the way.
Everyone couldn't help but pout, this woman just pretend, see how long she can pretend!
At this time, Lu Yan seemed to speak casually, "Miss Shen, why haven't you seen the gift you sent?" Speaking of which, this is your first time attending your grandfather's birthday party, and I think your gift must be extraordinary! ”
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Qingqiu with a smile on the corner of her mouth, with a bit of schadenfreude in her eyes.
"Nothing special." Shen Qingqiu said lightly.
