(Sorry, today's chapter update is late, I went out with my wife for a walk today, and I was half tired to death...... ）

You Liang is the eldest son of the third generation of the You family, and at the same time the son of You Jia's uncle You Chaogui, so he started first, on behalf of their room, to offer a birthday gift to Old Man You.

What You Liang held in both hands was a sandalwood box with a simple shape and countless exquisite patterns. Faintly, there was a faint, refreshing fragrance wafting from this sandalwood box.

Although Old Man You is old, his eyes are still quite keen, and he can see at a glance that this sandalwood box is a valuable antique. And looking at You Liang's posture of holding it, it is obvious that there is another mystery in this sandalwood box. This undoubtedly aroused Old Man You's curiosity, and he couldn't wait to know that this sandalwood box was already worth a lot of money, so what kind of treasure should it be hidden here.

You Liang stepped forward slowly, and carefully placed the simple sandalwood box on the desk in front of Old Man You. Then he smiled and raised his hand to press the brass lock on the sandalwood box. I only heard a soft sound of 'pop', and this quaint sandalwood box was like a blooming flower, and the four walls spread out and stretched out in all directions, so that the contents of this sandalwood box were exposed to everyone.

Inside this sandalwood box is a simple and elegant purple clay pot, as well as eight small and delicate purple sand teacups.

You Liang introduced with a smile: "Because I know that grandpa you like to drink tea, my father specially commissioned Chen Yanzhou, the 'pot art master', to carefully make such a pine crane longevity pot for you, wishing grandpa you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

"Purple clay pot? Old Man You was about to close his mouth when he smiled, holding the purple clay pot, rubbing his hands on it, and said vigorously: "Good, good, good, it's rare that you have this filial piety, knowing that I like to drink tea, and preparing such a good gift for me, it really makes me feel very happy." ”

You Jia's second uncle, You Chaofu, paced to You Chaogui's side and said softly: "Big brother, it's okay, I actually invited Chen Yanzhou, the 'pot art master', to make this purple clay pot by himself." Spent a lot of money, right?"

You Chaogui said proudly: "It's still done, that is, it's just a million." In fact, the price is secondary, the key is that the old man likes it. Although the relationship between their brothers and sisters is quite good, and there is no scene of infighting between wealthy brothers and sisters that is often shown in TV dramas, it does not mean that they are not secretly competing with each other. The birthday gift given to You Tianhai this time naturally became something for them to compete with.

In addition to being proud, You Chaogui didn't forget to ask his second brother: "What birthday gift did you prepare to give to the old man?"

"You'll know right away. You Chaofu smiled and did not answer directly, but sold a pass.

At this time, You Chaofu's son Yu Wen had already come to Old Man You with a golden box covered with gold and silver leaf. After the servant put away the sandalwood box containing the pine crane longevity pot on the desk, he put the slightly heavy, golden box on the table.

Old Man You jokingly said, "What is this? It's so glittering, it's about to dazzle my eyes." ”

"Grandpa, my dad knows that you like antiques, so he went to Hong Kong last month to participate in an antique auction and auctioned this gift back for you, I hope you can like it. Juventus said, and opened the golden box.

The way this box is opened is not as delicate as the previous box. However, after opening the box and taking out the contents inside, the entire living room was shrouded in a golden light.

This is a Maitreya Buddha made of pure gold, with its chest and abdomen exposed, and it opens its mouth and laughs. Its demeanor and expressions on its face are really vivid and vivid, and people sincerely admire it.

Juventus said: "This Maitreya Buddha made of pure gold, according to experts, is an antique from the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, and then it was lost overseas, and finally it was auctioned by my father from the Hong Kong auction." We give it to grandpa as a birthday gift, just hoping that grandpa you can be like him, strong and smiling. ”

"Yes, it's good, it's just a little extravagant. Old Man You also likes this pure gold Maitreya Buddha very much, but compared to the previous purple clay pot, his interest is slightly less. And this also made You Chaogui like a rooster who has won a fight, poked You Chaofu with his elbow, and said triumphantly: "It seems that the old man prefers my purple clay pot." ”

You Chaofu was a little depressed, for this pure gold Maitreya Buddha, he not only spent more than two million, but also spent a lot of effort and time. didn't expect that in the end, it would be such an ending. He glanced at the triumphant eldest brother and said, "Don't be too proud, the younger sister and the third brother haven't given birthday gifts yet, maybe their birthday gifts will be more pleasing to the old man than your purple clay pot." ”

Just when the two brothers You Chaogui and You Chaofu were whispering, You Jia's sister-in-law You Chaolin, who was already holding an oil painting, walked in front of Old Man You. Originally, according to the tradition of the You family, this kind of offering and receiving gifts should be done by the grandchildren. But because the sister-in-law's daughter You Qing is studying in the UK, You Chaolin personally came to give a gift to Old Man You.

You Chaolin's husband was added to the You family, so their daughter did not follow her husband's surname, but followed her surname You.

You Chaolin put the oil painting in his hand in front of him, showed it to Old Man You, and said with a smile: "Old man, this oil painting was bought and sent to you by You Qing in Europe. Because of her studies, she couldn't take leave to rush back from England to celebrate your birthday, so she asked me to dedicate this birthday gift to you, and wish you 'every year and today'. How is it, old man, this little granddaughter of yours is still quite filial, right?"

"There is filial piety, there is filial piety. Old Man You put on reading glasses hanging around his neck and carefully appreciated this oil painting.

You Chaolin couldn't help but be very happy when she saw the old man looking carefully, and asked, "I heard You Qing say that this oil painting was painted by a British female painter named Josephine Wall. How is it, old man, you are used to seeing Chinese paintings, do you still like this foreign thing?"

"This is a picture of ...... Butterfly demon, right?" Old Man You pointed to the oil painting and said with some hesitation.

This oil painting, titled "Lakeside Elf", depicts an elf from Western mythology and legend dancing on the water, and the colors of the picture are relatively bright and colorful, which is completely different from Chinese painting. For this kind of magical style of oil painting, Old Man You, who has a more traditional thinking, really can't accept it for a while.

"It's good, put it away. Old Man You waved his hand to the servant and motioned for her to put the oil painting away.

You Chaolin didn't notice the old man's dislike, she smiled and said, "Old man, since you feel good, let the maid hang up." Not...... I think it's pretty good to hang in that position. What do you think?"

"I'll talk about that later. Old Man You replied noncommittally.

You Chaolin also sensed the old man's true thoughts at this time, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and the corner of her eye happened to be aimed at her third brother, that is, You Jia's father-You Chaoxiang. She hurriedly said, "Hey, third brother, what about the birthday gift you prepared for the old man, why don't you give it to the old man?"

You Chaoxiang set his sights on You Jia, he was supposed to prepare this birthday gift, but because there were too many trivial matters, he forgot about it, so he could only ask You Jia last week. I don't know if You Jia can choose the birthday gift that the old man likes in less than a week.

"It seems that this year can only be compared by the eldest brother, second brother and younger sister. You Chaoxiang said with regret in his heart.

"The birthday gift for my grandfather, I have already prepared, put it in my room, and I will go and get it. With that, You Jia turned around and walked upstairs to the room.
