"Hey, why is the second brother also the "Longevity Picture"?" The little fat man almost couldn't get off the stage just now. After stepping down, he stood obediently beside his father and mother. After seeing his second brother presenting the gift to grandma, he touched
He touched his head and said something confused.
"What do you mean, who else sent the "Longevity Picture"?" Li Mingyuan is still thinking about whether his boy is really hiding it. Even his father didn't notice it and heard him whisper.
murmured and asked subconsciously.
The little fat man scratched his head and said, "And big brother, when he was preparing gifts in the room two days ago, I saw him. Big brother seemed to say that it was some kind of "Longevity Picture"."
"Really?" the little fat man's mother asked in surprise.
The most taboo thing about giving gifts is that they are exactly the same as others, especially when compared with others. In front of so many guests, your face will definitely be tarnished. The same "Longevity Picture", a work by the famous talent Zhao Chun, is far better than others.
.
The two of them presented congratulatory gifts one after another, so everyone would naturally compare them, and one of them would definitely look unhappy.
"Really, if you don't believe me, ask my second aunt, she even asked me that day!" the little fat man said, patting his chest.
"Second sister-in-law?" Mrs. Liu raised her head and looked at Ms. Fang who was standing not far away, and she suddenly understood.
She deliberately wanted to embarrass her eldest brother's child in front of so many people.
However, although I was very dissatisfied with her behavior, the wife of the majestic head of the family actually used such means to embarrass her own family, but it was her freedom to give whatever gifts she wanted, and it was hard to criticize her.
"What should I do?" Liu Ruyi stood next to Li Yi and asked quietly.
"What should I do? He gave it to him and I gave it to me. Whatever you do, do whatever you want." Li Yi replied.
He glanced at Mrs. Fang across from him, but he didn't expect that she was so narrow-minded and could do such things. The little fat guy was heartless, and he was afraid that she would easily get the words out of her mouth.
Come.
Liu Ruyi had long known what gift Li Yi was going to give the old lady. After hearing the words of those around her, she roughly knew that the "Longevity Picture" just given to her should be quite precious. If Li Yi took out his own, he would definitely give it to her.
Being compared.
"How about you give me this sword?" Liu Ruyi raised her hand, handed over the sword she carried with her, and said.
Li Yi saw a flash of reluctance in her eyes. She had carried this sword with her since the first time he met Miss Liu Er, even in the most difficult and difficult times of life.
None were sold.
This is indeed a rare and good sword. When Li Yi first wanted to borrow it to play with, she wouldn't even let her touch it.
"Forget it." Li Yi pushed the sword back. Face is worth a lot of money. Fang is the only one who takes his face seriously. Li Yi doesn't think his face is more beloved than Miss Liu Er.
The sword is important.
After saying that, Li Yingjie had already walked down. Li Yi smiled slightly at Miss Liu Er and walked up with the scroll.
"What is this?" Seeing a strange young man walking up after Li Yingjie, some guests had doubts on their faces.
"It should be the son of the eldest son of the Li family. I heard that a few days ago, the eldest grandson of the Li family was brought back and brought into the house. It should be him."
Soon, everyone's eyes were on Li Yi.
Most of them are very aware of the changes in the Li family twenty years ago. The Li family's grandson who returned to the family some time ago has naturally received enough attention.
When she saw Li Yi holding something like a scroll in his hand, a sneer appeared on Mrs. Fang's face.
Li Yi walked up to the old lady and said with a smile: "My grandson personally made a "Longevity Picture" to wish my grandma a prosperous sun and moon, and a long spring for the cranes and pines."
"Longevity Picture?" A look of surprise appeared on the faces of all the guests. Another picture of Longevity?
What Li Yingjie presented just now was a work by Zhao Chun. Many dignitaries in Beijing like to collect it. This Li Yingjie's grandson also presented a painting of longevity. I heard him say just now that it was written by himself?
One is worth thousands of gold, and the other is probably just a piece of waste paper. His gift is similar to the one given by the little fat man just now. The common point is that it does not require too much thought and can save a lot of money.
Li Yingjie, who had just stood still at his position, was slightly startled. He looked back at his mother, and then at his brother whom he was not very familiar with, his expression slightly dazed.
"Okay, okay." The old lady looked at him kindly, without any other expression because of the three words "Longevity Picture", and said with a smile: "Yi'er is interested, grandma accepted the "Longevity Picture"
, I will give you this luminous pearl."
The old lady did not open it in person, but handed the scroll to the maid aside, then personally selected a brocade box from a pile of gifts, and placed it in Li Yi's hand with a smile.
All the guests, including the Li family present, were in a daze. In terms of value, this "Longevity Picture" was probably the least valuable of all the gifts tonight, but the old lady's gift in return was the most precious, not to mention that she also gave her a long life.
The Li Yingjie in the picture is far inferior to the gift he just gave to the little fat man.
With this move of the old lady, everyone's eyes immediately changed when they looked at Li Yi.
The old lady has at least played more than half of the role that the Li family has been able to survive for so many years. On an occasion like tonight, she will naturally not do anything unnecessary. This move must have deep meaning...
Fang's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip. She did not expect that the old lady had already protected him to such a degree. The jade bracelet heirloomed in his family was given to an outsider casually. It was also the "Longevity Picture" and his own son.
The gift was thousands of times more precious than his, but the effect was completely opposite. Did the old lady really have such thoughts?
The next moment, the gloomy expression on Mrs. Fang's face subsided, and she immediately put on a smiling face. She walked up and said, "Since it is the old lady's return gift, you have to put it away carefully. I would have known that the gift from my nephew was also "Longevity".
"Picture", I asked Yingjie to prepare something else. Speaking of which, it is my nephew who has the best intentions. Although Zhao Chun's "Longevity Picture" is good, he is an outsider, so his thoughts are not as valuable as those of his own family."
Mrs. Fang smiled and walked to the maid's side, took the scroll from her hand, and praised: "Yingjie has not been interested in studying since he was a child, but his nephew has inherited his eldest brother's talent. I think this "Longevity Picture" will not be bad, as well.
Open it on the spot and take a look, which will make the old lady happy."
As he spoke, he opened the scroll and placed it on the table next to him.
The old lady frowned, and it was too late to stop her. Several nearby guests quickly gathered around.
