The birthday wishes are pretty much the same, nothing special.
Everyone's attention is focused on Zhou Huayang's box.
Zhao Xiaoting looked disdainful. If he was as ingenious as Zhao Xiaoqian and found a successor to the craftsmen of the previous dynasty, he might be able to make the old man happy, but he did not believe that Zhou Huayang had the ability to find one.
The greater possibility is to spend hundreds of thousands, no matter how great, millions, to buy some expensive gifts, such as famous calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. Does a person of Zhao Haiyuan's level lack these collections?
"The box is quite big. I don't know what the gift is."
"Forget it, Xiaoqian. I don't know what the relationship was that made Master Tang Rufeng agree to take action. It's impossible for this kid to have such connections."
"Haha, if the old man hadn't just reprimanded you, I would definitely have ridiculed you."
Each one of them had different looks, some were cold stares, some were joking, and they said nothing. After all, the old man had just scolded him, and no one wanted to get in the way of a gun at this moment.
But that doesn't stop them from making fun of them afterwards and mocking them in person.
There were only two people in the audience, Nasha and Zhao Xiaoqian, with faint expressions of anticipation.
"Grandpa, here is a Maitreya Buddha, carved by Huayang himself, and the materials are of the highest quality." Zhao Xiaoqian had naturally seen the Maitreya Buddha before and was extremely satisfied.
"Bikkelchi... no, the carving level is very high."
She was about to say that it was much better than Kelki's birthday boy, but obviously...it was very rude to say that. Nasha was Kelki's cousin.
She quickly changed her tune.
"Oh? It's a Maitreya Buddha? Huayang, you're serious." Zhao Haiyuan smiled brightly and nodded with satisfaction, "You juniors, please learn more from him.
"I don't ask you to find all kinds of precious items, just be careful. Looking back on the past, when Long Ying, Junxiong and you were young, the gifts were those handicrafts, which made me the happiest."
These words are 50% sincere and 50% meant for Zhou Huayang.
Strictly speaking, it is still unknown whether Zhou Huayang can be the son-in-law of the Zhao family. Before this relationship, the relationship between the two parties was not close. Is it appropriate to send handicrafts?
You, Zhou Huayang, are not a relative of the Zhao family, and you are not a famous master. Zhao Haiyuan doesn't mind this kind of gift, but what do outsiders think? How shameless?
The key to whether the marriage can be successful or not depends on the consent of the elders. Why don't you seize the opportunity now to please the old man of the Zhao family?
Fortunately, there were no outsiders present.
Zhao Haiyuan also understood that Zhou Huayang had an unusual background, had a close relationship with Ji Anzai of the Ji family, and had seen some of Zhou Huayang's outstanding performances, so naturally he would not be unhappy about it.
But others don't think so.
Zhao Longying, Zhao Junxiong and others grinned, full of sarcasm.
Zhao Yunzhi shook his head and said in a low voice: "You are so ignorant, so naive that you don't even understand this little bit of human sophistication? Fortunately, the old man is quite satisfied with him. If it were us, he would have been embarrassed by it."
"Huh? Xiaoqian is so ignorant. How could Nasha look at such a person differently?" The more Zhao Xiaoting thought about it, the more he became gloomy. He didn't understand how he was worse than him.
"Don't underestimate Hua Yang's gift. He really carved this work with all his heart."
Zhao Xiaoqian saw some clues, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart. She opened the box and said, "See for yourselves, is this Maitreya Buddha bad?"
When the lid was opened, a wonderful aroma came out and filled the hall instantly.
The aroma is similar to that of sandalwood, but more refreshing and pleasant. All distracting thoughts disappear, and you feel as calm as an old monk sitting still.
Everyone felt this strangeness and were extremely focused. Thanks to this, they felt that their thoughts were sharp.
Nasha was stunned by the scent as if struck by lightning. She was a warrior and her observation was more keen. She immediately discovered the powerful effect of this scent.
But others were just stunned, focusing entirely on the statue of Maitreya Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha has deep color, smooth lines, exquisite shape and meticulous details. The smile of Maitreya Buddha is kind and contagious.
"A big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world; when you open your mouth, you can laugh at the ridiculous people in the world."
Everyone invariably thought of the meaning of Maitreya Buddha. This statue has such a free and optimistic charm.
Even if they don't have a high enough level of appreciation of statues, there is a statue of the longevity star who is also a wood carving beside them. There is naturally a comparison between the two, and the level of the two can be judged.
Of course, for the same reason as Zhao Xiaoqian, no one dares to compare with Kelky's works.
"Yes, Huayang, was this really carved by you?" Zhao Haiyuan looked shocked.
"Yes, it's just a humble work. I hope the old man doesn't mind."
"No, although I rarely pay attention to the art of wood carving, your work is definitely comparable to the level of those wood carving masters. It's amazing!" Zhao Haiyuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "I like it very much!"
These are his true words.
Nasha was anxious and secretly annoyed, old man, you haven’t seen the true function of this statue!
If she didn't know Zhou Huayang's strength and awe, she would definitely ask for it from the old man without hesitation!
Zhao Longying and others looked disappointed and curled their lips. They were still thinking of finding an opportunity to run against Zhou Huayang, but there was no chance now.
"Sir, Master Deming from Zenyin Temple has arrived." The old housekeeper ran in quickly, a little anxious.
"Master Deming is here?" Zhao Haiyuan was surprised. Master Deming lived in seclusion. Even if the top ten wealthy families respected Master Deming, he had never attended anyone's birthday banquet or party.
He had previously sent an invitation letter just out of etiquette, but he never expected that this eminent monk would come to attend.
He immediately ignored the statue. In recent years, he burned incense and worshiped Buddha at Zenyin Temple and listened to Master Deming's lectures on Buddhist scriptures.
Just as he was about to go out to greet him, two monks had already arrived at the door. An old monk with white eyebrows in cassocks and a kind face, and a young monk in sea blue followed respectfully behind him.
"Master Deming is here in person. It's hard to welcome him from afar." Zhao Haiyuan bowed very respectfully.
"Hahaha, it's Master Zhao's eightieth birthday and I have to come." Master Deming laughed loudly and glanced at Nasha casually. He was a little surprised that this foreign woman was quite powerful.
The next second he smelled a strange fragrance, he looked stunned and stared at Maitreya Buddha in disbelief.
"Master Deming also studied wood carving? This statue was carved by Mr. Zhou."
Zhao Haiyuan was stunned for a moment and was very surprised. How could an eminent monk like Master Deming, who was in such a deep state of mind, lose his composure because of a statue?
After all, he is an eminent monk. Master Deming quickly calmed down, looked at Zhou Huayang for a moment, and praised: "The material of this statue is so precious that it is hard to find in the world! And my little friend's carving skills are even more outstanding, unparalleled in China."
ah!"
"This..." Zhao Haiyuan was stunned. Is this such an exaggeration?
However, the eminent monk Deming does not care about worldly affairs and abides by the precepts. It is impossible for him to exaggerate and flatter. These words are absolutely true!
He turned around and looked at Maitreya Buddha again, but he didn't see anything in this statue that deserved such praise from the eminent monk.
