"Ruoying brought her son-in-law Zhang Yi and grandson Zhang Jian to visit her father and mother. My daughter is unfilial and has worried her father and mother all these years!"
There is something emotional about Zhang Qi's jade face.
Next to him, Zhang Yi was quite tall. He had some beard on his dark face and was extremely majestic. Seeing this scene, he immediately comforted Zhang Qi in a low voice. However, facing the blazing and cold scrutiny of Qi Yi above his head, his face
He was stiff, but the head of the Zhang family was very thick-skinned, and he didn't care at all.
He just cupped his hands and said: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, my son-in-law wishes you a prosperous future and pays homage to you!"
His face was solemn, and he didn't care at all about the piercing eyes of his uncles.
Zhang Jian, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but sigh at how thick-skinned his old man was, which even he couldn't match.
Qi Yi's face was a bit dark.
"Master Zhang, I deserve this gift from you!"
He rolled up his sleeves casually, but didn't even look at Zhang Yi.
In the main hall, other relatives and friends saw this scene with subtle eyes, and many of them regarded it as a joke.
Some of them were fully aware of the big commotion caused by Zhang Yi and Qi Ruoying back then.
In fact, Qi Ruoying was engaged to her husband's family, but she and Zhang Yi got together. The two of them tried their best to force the Qi family to break off the engagement, which offended their friends who had known each other for many years. The whole Qi family was full of dissatisfaction over this matter.
Not to mention the old man Qi Yi.
Although he did a good job afterwards and hid it from the outside world, this was still a knot in Qi Yi's heart.
Zhang Yi didn't care, but said respectfully: "Father-in-law, Zhang Yi was young and frivolous back then, and he had a reckless temper. He made mistakes and offended his father-in-law, broke the rules, and regretted it afterwards. I have kept it in my heart for so many years, and I will carry it with me today.
When my beloved wife comes to visit, she also comes here specifically to apologize!"
When Qi Yi heard this, he glanced at Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi's gesture made him speechless. When he saw Zhang Qi next to him, he looked at Zhang Yi with even more tenderness. He immediately held a breath in his heart and could no longer express it.
When the old lady saw this, she quickly smoothed things over.
"You all get up!"
"It would be great to come back!"
The old lady was smiling.
She looked at Mrs. Zhang Qi with a kind expression, and she felt sorry for her daughter from the bottom of her heart.
Zhang Qi's eyes were also a little moist, and he immediately said:
"Mom, my husband and I have also prepared some small gifts for my father's birthday. Brother Jian, please go and bring them to me!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded.
Facing the eyes of all his relatives and friends, he took several brocade boxes from Zhang Lu and Hu Shan.
Then it was opened in front of everyone.
They are a small and exquisite coral and emerald vase, as well as a volume of ancient paintings and a hand-written scripture!
"Father, although the value of these exquisite jade corals and emerald vase is not high, the corals bring blessings and the emeralds nourish the body. They will definitely bring blessings and longevity to father and mother!"
After Qi Ruoying finished speaking, Zhang Jian noticed that the grandfather's expression had softened significantly.
In fact, many relatives and friends can see that the palm-sized exquisite jade coral and the green jade bottle that looks like the blue sky must be of great value. It is not only possible to buy them with money, but also with power.
It is definitely not of low value as Qi Ruoying said.
The same goes for ancient paintings. That ancient painting is called the Picture of Immortals Congratulating Their Birthdays, and it was also made by a famous artist.
Extraordinary value.
Zhang Jian stood in the center of the hall and clearly saw that many of the elders of the Qi Mansion were a little commotion, and their expressions were still different.
Although he was polite before, there is still a sectarian bias in his heart. In the eyes of many Qi family children, although the Zhang family is rich and powerful, it is still a small family, inferior to the Qi family, which has been a family for generations.
But the financial power that the Zhang family has revealed now is indeed something they cannot ignore.
In fact, according to Zhang Yi's original idea, he just used some antique jades obtained from the tomb of King Mian to cope with one or two problems, but in the end he was replaced by Zhang Jian.
Although Qi Yi, his grandfather, had never been close to him, his grandmother was quite good. Even for the sake of his mother, Zhang Qi, she should be replaced.
However, Zhang Jian could imagine that Zhang Yi must have suffered a big loss at the hands of the Qi family back then, otherwise he wouldn't be so resentful.
But think about it, the Zhang family did not have such a scale back then.
And he provoked behemoths like the Qi family.
To be able to persevere, Zhang Yi must have put in a lot of effort, and he understands the anger in his heart.
Qi Ruoying's pretty face also showed joy at this time. Zhang Yi and Zhang Jian also made her proud in the Qi family this time, so she was naturally very happy.
"And this last gift is a volume of "Jiachen Martial Arts". This is an excellent volume of body-building methods, which can replenish the foundation of our general family. My husband knows that my father is fond of martial arts, so he tried every means to collect an excellent volume of it.
Classical books, as a congratulatory gift, may my family’s military fortune be prosperous!”
Qi Ruoying smiled brightly, and finally asked Zhang Jian to step forward and present the last treasure box to Qi Yi to look through in person.
She noticed that the faces of her relatives and friends had changed rapidly at this time, and many old ladies from the Qi family who were just watching the joke also pricked up their ears and their expressions changed.
""Jiachen Martial Arts"?"
As soon as the words fell, Qi Yi stood up involuntarily.
When Zhang Jian saw the two uncles Qi Yuanwu and Qi Yuansi who had always looked calm, their faces changed even more, and there were faint fluctuations in their eyes.
He knew very well that the release of this thing would shock the Qi family.
For a family of military commanders, nothing is more important than this kind of foundation.
In particular, "Jiachen Martial Arts" is not an ordinary superior body-building method, but it has a great reputation in rumors.
This is a wonderful method left behind by a body-building warrior who has reached the master stage.
This volume of body training techniques was found in the tomb of King Mian.
However, looking at Qi Yi's expression at this moment, he would accept it even if it was taken from the tomb of King Mian, even if it was taken from the hands of a dead person.
This thing should not have been given away in the first place. This kind of wonderful body training method can be treasured as a family's heritage, and even become the foundation of a family's life.
However, after learning that Zhang Jian and Zhang Yi were on the road to immortality, Zhang Yi changed his mind and simply used this thing as a bargaining chip.
This can be regarded as an exchange of interests with the Qi family to some extent.
In exchange for the Qi family's support for the Zhang family's expansion into other large counties in Fengyang County.
Qi Yi was flipping through the "Jiachen Martial Scripture" handwritten with a solemn face at this time. With his eyesight, he could almost tell that this book of magic was genuine.
There was a faint wave in his eyes.
This wonderful method also has a lot of inspiration for his cultivation in reaching the master stage.
Even though I had all kinds of opinions about Zhang Yi at this moment, most of the anger in my heart had dissipated, and for the first time a smile appeared on his solemn and solemn face.
He looked at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Jian and his son nodded.
"Three girls did not misjudge the person!"
Zhang Jian was standing next to him, and when he saw Zhang Qi's expression, he suddenly burst into tears of joy, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.
After the Zhang family paid their birthday wishes, they immediately stood aside!
Zhang Jian noticed that several aunts and uncles had some subtle expressions on their faces.
Probably he was already cursing deep down in his heart.
Especially the eldest uncle and the second uncle who had previously claimed to be King Juan. This one came from a famous family in Haojing and was the descendant of a serious prince and noble.
The other one is also the grandson of the former prime minister.
After the old friend of the Qi family’s great-grandfather!
He doesn't look very good-looking.
Zhang Jian was also happy to watch the excitement. This infighting was not caused by the Zhang family, but was caused by these two uncles who had high family backgrounds.
At this time, the other two aunts and uncles could only step forward and presented two congratulatory gifts respectively.
Although these two congratulatory gifts are also of considerable weight, they are obviously inferior to the congratulatory gifts sent by the first three, especially Zhang Yi and his wife.
It's not that they couldn't bring out meaningful gifts, but that the two aunts and uncles were caught off guard and unprepared. They didn't expect Qi Yi's birthday celebration to be so complicated, and they lost their plans.
After the five daughters of the Qi family completed their birthday wishes, relatives and friends came forward and gave them generous gifts.
The birthday celebration was held at noon.
And this birthday party has gradually reached its climax, and some heavyweight VIPs also entered the Qi family one after another on the occasion of the auspicious occasion.
The young masters of the Qi family who were in charge of welcoming guests at the door were also really busy.
The voices of the disciples chanting and singing kept coming and going!
"Fengyang County Governor Yu Tongguang and Lord Yu are here to wish the head of the family a birthday!"
"Wang Shao, the captain of Fengyang County, came to wish the head of the family a birthday!"
"Mr. Gu Chengyan from Fengyang County came to wish the head of the family a birthday!"
"Master Yu You of the Yu family of Fengyang County is here to wish the head of the family a birthday!"
"Fengyang County Supervisor and Censor Yao has come to wish the master of the family a birthday!"
…
The front yard was full of guests and friends. With the arrival of several important guests from the county, even Qi Yi, as the longevity minister, could only come forward in person to accompany him.
On the other hand, Zhang Jian felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Not only the guests who came, but also the entire Qi family inside and outside also smelled of bloodshed.
