"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 back, he stood obediently beside his parents. Touching his head, he said something suspicious.
"What do you mean, who else gave the "Longevity Picture"?" Li Mingyuan is still wondering if his kid is really hiding everything, even his father didn't see it, and heard him whisper Whispering, subconsciously asked a question.
The little fat man scratched his head, and said, "And elder brother, I saw him two days ago when he was preparing a gift in his room, and elder brother seemed to say that it was "Longevity Picture"."
"Really?" The little fat man's mother asked in surprise.
The most taboo is to give gifts that are exactly the same as others, especially when you are compared by others. In front of so many guests, you will definitely lose your face. The same "Longevity Picture", the work of the famous talent Zhao Chun, is far better than others .
The two presented congratulatory gifts one after another, and everyone would naturally compare them, and one of them would definitely not look very good at that time.
"Really, if you don't believe me, ask Second Aunt, she even asked me that day!" The little fat man said, patting his chest.
"Second sister-in-law?" Liu looked up, looked at Fang who was standing not far away, and suddenly understood.
She is deliberately trying to embarrass the eldest brother's child in front of so many people.
However, although I feel very contemptuous of her actions, the dignified wife of the head of the family actually used such means to embarrass her family, but it is the freedom of others to give whatever gifts they want, and it is not easy to criticize them.
"What should I do?" Liu Ruyi stood beside Li Yi and asked in a low voice.
"What to do, he gave it to him, I gave it to me, whatever you want to do." Li Yi replied.
He glanced at Fang on the opposite side, but he didn't expect her to be so narrow-minded, and she could do such things. The little fat man is heartless, and he is afraid that she will easily make words out of her mouth Come.
Liu Ruyi knew for a long time what gift Li Yi was going to give the old lady. Hearing what the people around him said, she roughly understood that the "Longevity Picture" that was sent up just now should be quite precious. If Li Yi took out his own again, he would definitely be compared.
"Why don't you give me this sword?" Liu Ruyi raised her hand, handed over the saber she was carrying, and said.
Li Yi saw the flash of reluctance in her eyes. She had carried this sword with her since the first time he saw 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 refused to even touch it.
"Forget it." Li Yi pushed the sword back again, how much face is worth, and that Fang family takes his own face seriously, Li Yi doesn't think his face is more lovely than Miss Liu Er The sword is important.
After finishing speaking, Li Yingjie had already walked down, Li Yi smiled slightly at Miss Liu Er, and walked up with the painting scroll.
"This is?" Seeing a strange young man walking up after Li Yingjie, some guests showed 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 Li family brought the eldest grandson back to welcome him into the mansion. It should be him."
Soon, everyone's eyes were on Li Yi.
Most of them are very clear about the changes in the Li family 20 years ago. The grandson of the Li family who returned to the family some time ago naturally received enough attention.
Seeing Li Yi holding something like a scroll in his hand, a sneer appeared on Fang's face.
Li Yi walked up to the old lady and said with a smile: "The grandson personally made a "Longevity Picture", wishing grandma a prosperous sun and moon, and Songhe Changchun."
"Longevity picture?" There was a look of surprise on the faces of all the guests. Is it another longevity picture
What Li Yingjie sent just now was Zhao Chun's work. Many dignitaries in Beijing like to collect it. The grandson of Li's patriarch also sent a picture of longevity. From what he said just now, he actually wrote it by himself
One is worth a thousand gold, and the other is probably just a piece of waste paper. His gift is similar to the gift that the little fat man gave just now. The common point is that it does not need to spend too much thought and can save a lot of money.
Li Yingjie, who had just stood still in his place, was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at his mother, and then at the brother he didn't know very well, with a slightly dazed expression.
"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 has a heart, grandma accepted the "Longevity Picture" , I will give you this night pearl."
The old lady didn't open it in person, and handed the scroll to the maid beside her, and then she personally selected a brocade box from a pile of gifts, and put it in Li Yi's hand with a smile.
All the guests, including the Li family present, were a little dazed. In terms of value, this "Longevity Picture" is probably the least valuable of all the gifts tonight, but the old lady's gift in return is the most precious. The Li Yingjie in the picture is far inferior to the gift given to the little fat man just now.
With this move of the old lady, the eyes of everyone looking at Li Yi changed immediately.
The Li family has been able to survive for so many years. The old lady has at least played more than half of the role. On such an occasion as tonight, naturally she will not make any unnecessary actions. This action must have deep meaning...
Fang's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. She did not expect that the old lady's protection of him had reached such a level that the family heirloom jade bracelet was given to an outsider, and it was also "Longevity Picture". The gift is thousands of times more precious than his, but the effect is completely opposite. Does the old lady really have such thoughts
The next moment, the gloomy expression on Fang's face subsided, and he immediately put on a smiling face, walked up and said: "Since it is the old lady's gift in return, you should put it away carefully, I would have known that my nephew also gave me "Wan Shou" "Picture", I asked Yingjie to prepare other things, speaking of it, my nephew still has the heart, although Zhao Chun's "Picture of Longevity" is good, but he is an outsider, so he is not as precious as his family."
Fang walked up to the maidservant with a smile, took the scroll from her hand, and praised: "Yingjie has not been interested in reading since he was a child, but my nephew has inherited the talent of my elder brother. I think this "Longevity Picture" will not be bad, why not?" Open it and have a look on the spot, to 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, it was too late to stop, and several nearby guests quickly surrounded her.
