Coupled with Chu Xiangqian's love for Qiu's little things, the three patriotic brothers felt that the eldest brother looked down on them.

even disliked the three brothers, who were slow to learn martial arts and had no talent.

I was beaten many times, and I felt that I was not favored.

Naturally, he didn't have the confidence to rely on Chu Qianqian's momentum and come outside.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would get angry, and it would not be as simple as a few strokes of the stick.

And his second uncle knows Chu Xiangqian's nephew too well, and he said before that if he wants to do business if he loves the country and the people, he has to have two sons, and he can only do it after the age of 30.

The two daughters-in-law and niece-in-law will make trouble again, and they can't change Chu Xiangqian's decision.

Thinking of this, the second uncle smiled and nodded, "Otherwise, tell you and your daughter-in-law tomorrow that the Yu family's father-in-law is not in the capital."

Then invite the Yu sisters to dinner on the second day of junior high school? ”

The second aunt nodded hurriedly, the father-in-law's family was not in the capital, so there was no need to go to the door to pay New Year's greetings in the second year of junior high school, and they could have a meal together.

——

Early the next morning, Chu Xiangqian gave New Year's greetings to the second uncle, second aunt, and third uncle.

His younger siblings and daughters-in-law began to pay New Year's greetings to him.

This will inevitably break the fortune and give everyone red envelopes.

In the red envelopes of the three brothers who love the country, love the people, and love Lin, there are 10 big black cows, that is, 100 yuan.

Le's three brothers all smiled crookedly.

Aiqiu knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Chu forward with a bang.

Let Chu Xiangqian, who originally only wanted to give her 10 yuan, after thinking about it, he reached into his pocket, selected a palm-sized pure gold Asan style goat from the warehouse of the novice village and from the treasure of Tianzhu Temple, and handed it to Aiqiu.

In the eyes of the little thing, the golden goat is lifelike, and it doesn't matter if the thing is pure gold.

When I took it with both hands, I almost didn't hold it steadily.

Don't look at it as just the size of a palm, but it weighs seven or eight pounds, and Aiqiu almost didn't hold stability.

The rest of the Chu family saw that Aiqiu actually got such a large piece of gold, and the goat's eyes were obviously inlaid with a pair of rubies.

The toes on the hooves of the limbed goats are set with 12 diamonds.

The left and right sides of the stomach are also inlaid with diamonds, and two identical patterns are inlaid.

At a glance, I knew that it must be a baby, and secretly said that Chu Xiangqian was too spoiled by Aiqiu.

Patriotism, love the people and Ailin suddenly felt that the eldest brother didn't love him anymore.

It's just that it's not interesting to worry about the little sister, and everyone knows that the eldest brother has always loved the little sister the most.

And Aiqiu, this little thing, is also the most pestering big brother.

Seeing that Aiqiu was holding the golden goat and didn't let go, and even after thinking about it, he didn't hand it over to his mother, but ran to Xue Jinglan.

"Sister-in-law, can you keep it for me?"

The second aunt was suddenly full of black lines, and Xue Jinglan happily hugged Aiqiu directly, and kissed her on the forehead several times.

However, Xue Jinglan is measured, and knows that it is best to leave this thing to the second aunt to manage. so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the future.

When it was Ehime's turn, Ehime, who was already 20, still cared about whether she had grown up or not, and wanted to kowtow to Chu Xiangqian when she knelt on the ground.

The panicked Chu hurriedly grabbed her arm, and the lovely Yuan had to kowtow to him in order to press the New Year's money.

Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to pull Ehime up, and at the same time hurriedly reached into his pocket, took out a diamond bracelet from the warehouse in the novice village, and stayed directly on her wrist.

At this time, even Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng, and Fei Fei all pouted.

Tianzhu has been the source of diamonds, rubies and sapphires since ancient times, and the color is excellent.

These diamond necklaces can be stored in the temple's treasury, and they are not only the size of a bean.

There are also 4 yellow diamonds the size of soybeans in the middle, and the craftsmanship is extremely high, after Chu Xiangqian took it out, he regretted it a little.

But when I thought of having 12 silk bags of different sizes, red sapphires, colored diamonds, and white diamonds, I thought in my hand.

Hundreds filled with bracelets, necklaces, and tiaras encrusted with ruby sapphires and diamonds.

There are also rings, brooches and other jewelry, and even treasure chests of gold pocket watches that are occasionally revealed.

Chu Xiangqian's mentality immediately relaxed again.

It can be said that the diamond bracelet that I took out casually in a hurry just now is not even medium among all the jewelry.

After all, a white diamond the size of a soybean, even after a few decades, will only cost tens of thousands of yuan a piece.

As for the yellow diamond, it is quite valuable, and after fifty or sixty years, this necklace will probably be worth more than a 30-square-meter house in Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island.

In this era, it may only be 10,000 or 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Ehime looked left and right, and immediately felt that this diamond necklace must be very valuable.

When I heard Fei Fei say with a little envy, it was worth at least twenty or thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars, and Ehime kowtowed to Chu Qianqian this time, which was willing.

It's just that loving the country, loving the people, and loving the forest is even more uncomfortable.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, said to the second uncle, second aunt, and third uncle, got up and went to the secret room of this courtyard.

Xue Jinglan knew where the secret room was, but she had never entered it.

The others, even Hong Kong Sheng and Fei Fei don't know, let alone the second and third uncles.

Ten minutes later, Chu Xiangqian returned to the main hall with 9 boxes, opened the two boxes first, revealed the two gold pocket watches inside and handed them to the second and third uncles.

This thing is not an antique, but because Chu Xiangqian likes to collect watches by hand, and then he is interested in pocket watches.

Therefore, Margaret's chick will buy and keep Chu Xiangqian whenever she goes shopping and sees her favorite watches and pocket watches, as long as the price is not particularly expensive and they are new products of major luxury goods.

So Chu Xiangqian had at least a dozen luxury watches and pocket watches in his hands.

And the nostalgia is not happy to wear it now, so it is a collection for the second and third uncles, and they play with it at home.

The second uncle and the third uncle couldn't close their smiles, and then Chu Xiangqian took out a box and opened it, revealing a pair of gold-encrusted ruby bracelets inside.

Anyway, there is no shortage of rubies for Chu Xiangqian, not to mention that the novice village can farm rubies.

But in the eyes of the Chinese people, rubies are more festive than sapphires and diamonds, and they are more popular.

The second aunt saw that she had a gift, and it was such a beautiful pair of bracelets, and her mouth was polite, but it was impossible to really let her take it off her wrist.

However, the second aunt also knows that this thing can only be hidden at home and occasionally taken out at night.

If you really wear it, you're asking for trouble.

sighed that she was a country girl, and when she was old, she could still wear jewelry that nobles in the old society couldn't buy.

The second uncle rolled his eyes, and after listening to the second aunt sigh a few times, he looked at Aiguo and Ailin and said, "It just so happens that after you brothers get married, my mother will also have something to give to her daughter-in-law."

When the time comes, it will be said to be a family heirloom, just one daughter-in-law, so as not to say that I am biased. ”

Aiguo and Ailin's faces were happy, but Chu Xiangqian shook his head directly and said, "Auntie, you can keep this pair of things for yourself." ”

After speaking, he took out three of the remaining 6 boxes, took out two of them and gave them to the second aunt, and one to the third uncle.

"It just so happens that the whole family is here, and these three things are even heirlooms passed on to younger siblings in the second and third rooms when they love the country, love the people, and love Lin when they get married."

Patriotism, love for the people and love for the people are really excited now, and their eyes are full of anticipation looking at the box in the hands of the second aunt and the third uncle.

Unexpectedly, although the second aunt and the third uncle were moved at first and wanted to open it to take a look, but after thinking about it, the two of them actually gave up this idea at the same time.

Put the box directly in your pocket.

It made the country, the people and Lin itch, but they didn't dare to muttered in front of Chu Xiangqian that they had to take a look first.

After that, Chu Xiangqian handed over the last three boxes to Xue Jinglan, Gang Sheng and Fei Fei.

The three chicks happily borrowed the jewelry box, but although the three of them were impatient to open it, they also avoided loving the three of them.

But when I saw the box, there were actually three pink diamond rings, and all of them had pink diamonds the size of thumbnails, where could the three chicks still take care of the low-key.

Fei Fei took it out directly and put it on her finger.

Fei Fei and Hong Kong are basically the same size, one is 4.1 carats and the other is 4.3 carats.

Only Xue Jinglan's pink diamond is almost 0.9 carats larger.

Pink diamonds of this grade, even in ancient times, are treasures.

If it is sent to auction in a few decades, it will be tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Xue Jinglan's one, it is not impossible to auction one or two hundred million.

Now it's Ehime's turn to pout, but thinking about the diamond ring given by the eldest brother, it seems that he really can't give himself such a gift.

I could only sit enviously between Xue Jinglan and Fei Fei, muttering that it was too good-looking.

The second aunt couldn't help but secretly looked at the two jewelry boxes, and saw that there were two white jade bracelets inside, and her heart was immediately relieved.

In fact, before the new millennium, diamonds were not considered mainstream in the Celestial Empire, and in the hearts of the Chinese people in the 60s, they were far inferior to red sapphires, let alone a pair of mutton fat white jade bracelets.

Afterwards, the second aunt really couldn't help it, and secretly pulled Xue Jinglan and asked how much this bracelet was worth, but Xue Jinglan didn't know much about this aspect.

But she has also lived on Hong Kong Island for more than a year, and she usually goes shopping with Hong Kong students, but at first she went to just ordinary stores.

But the time is old, and it is determined that her man is really rich, and the annual household and pocket money of 1 million make Xue Jinglan slowly begin to dare to spend money at will.

In addition, after Fei Fei, Ehime, Linda, and Alyssa began to contact her, they visited the gold store many times.

I remembered a similar bracelet I had seen in a jewelry store, and finally gave a stock price of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Unexpectedly, Fei Fei shook her head directly, looked at Xue Jinglan and disagreed, and said, "Eldest sister, where can the jade bracelets in those jewelry stores on Hong Kong Island compare to the bracelets collected by the master."

I look at this pair of bracelets, a single to say less will cost 30,000 yuan, if it is a pair, it will be no problem to sell 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

and the pair of ruby gold bracelets in my aunt's hand, which is about the same price. ”

The second aunt was so frightened that she almost didn't dare to ask for these two pairs of bracelets, and then she was fluttering all over.

When she calmed down, she felt even more proud.

Fortunately, he gave birth to two brothers, Aiguo and Ailin, to the old Chu family, otherwise it would be the same as the three rooms that only love the people, then there would only be one.

But after secretly rejoicing in my heart, I remembered that my brother-in-law left early, otherwise I would definitely be the same as myself, and I felt that the hardships I had endured in the past were not in vain.

Thinking about it like this, I actually got up, and when Ehime and Aiqiu got married, I planned to pass on the bracelet in my hand to Ehime and Aiqiu.

——

Aiqiu's golden goat was finally taken away by the second aunt, which made the little girl unhappy.

Fortunately, in the end, she was only a 7-year-old little doll, and the second aunt gave her five cents, and asked Aiguo, Aimin and Ailin to take her to the utility room to get loose firecrackers to go out to play, and immediately forgot about the golden goat.

Early the next morning, Chu Xiangqian took Xue Jinglan and the New Year's greetings and went to his father-in-law's house.

Uncle Xue Jianrong led troops on the plateau, so he didn't want to come back for the New Year this year.

The second uncle Xue Jianguo was at home, but he didn't know what he was busy with, so he went out early in the morning of the Lunar New Year.

Aunt Xue Hongmei and uncle Qiu Xicheng work in the unit in the capital, and the uncle has no ambitions, and his life is very stable.

Cousin Qiu Jie and cousin Qiu Wan, as soon as they saw Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jinglan, they ran over directly and opened their mouths to press the New Year's money.

Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jinglan were not stingy, the couple only needed to give 2 red envelopes, but Qiu Jie and Qiu Wan got 4 in the end.

Le's brother and sister almost jumped.

As for the uncle Xue Xiaoyi, the aunt Pang Yufen, and the youngest third-generation Xue Jianshe of the Xue family, because the uncle is really not available in the south, he has not come back for the New Year this year.

And my uncle's hometown is in the south, and there are not many holidays, so I simply spend the New Year at my own house, and then I go to my father-in-law's side to gather on the first day of the new year.

So much so that after Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jinglan came to the door, the old man, the old lady, the old father-in-law, and the mother-in-law were happy.

However, Chu Xiangqian only had lunch at Xue's house, so he took Xue Jinglan to the courtyard of Luoguxiang.

The neighbors in the yard saw that he and Xue Jinglan were back, and they all took the initiative to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings.

After Chu Xiangqian didn't care about face and brought 3 sons and 1 daughter to the door, he could only go to the deaf old lady in the backyard to pay New Year's greetings first, followed by the first uncle, the second uncle, and other older neighbors in the yard.

lest you be told that you don't know how to count.

The second uncle also hinted to Chu Xiangqian, the meaning was obvious, he received a lot of antiques in his hand, and he was waiting to exchange with Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian naturally wouldn't refuse, anyway, no matter how he traded, he still took advantage of himself in the end.

When he arrived at Jia's house, Qin Huairu couldn't hold back his excitement and chatted with Chu Xiangqian, seeing that Chu Xiangqian hinted that he would look for her in the next few days, Qin Huairu wished that he would leave early.

So as not to provoke Jia Zhang's family, I didn't expect that although Jia Zhang's heart was angry, his face couldn't help but be full of smiles, and he took the initiative to say a few auspicious words to Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but admire Qin Huairu's methods.

After that, all the peers in the yard were not worthy of his special visit.

And the little ones in the yard, seeing Xue Jinglan take Ehime and Aiqiu out peanuts, melon seeds, fruit candy, red dates, preserved fruits, and chestnuts out for distribution, it was called an excitement.

The auspicious words of New Year's greetings are also said when the mouth is opened.

Waiting for Chu Xiangqian to come out with a chair and distribute the New Year's money, it was everyone kowtowing, seeing that everyone was 5 cents, and the little dolls and half a dozen children in the back were more active when kowtowing.

Chu Xiangqian didn't specifically target the stick terrier and his sister Xiaodang this time.

And the stick terrier probably knows that Chu Xiangqian is an official, and he is also the most powerful person in the courtyard, and his attitude towards him is completely different from that of the stupid pillar in the TV series.

When pulling Xiaodang to kowtow, the one who shouted to Uncle Xiang and Uncle Xiang was called a Qin.
