C6 Congratulatory Gift
"This trip was worth it!" Someone exclaimed.
Gu Kaizhi's painting was hard to find. Most of it was a copy copied by the Song people. Although it couldn't possibly be Gu Kaizhi's painting, its value was still comparable to that of any other antique. It was a conservative estimate that it was worth around eight million yuan.
On the stage, Old Mrs Jiang received the "Peony Gazing Spring Painting" and lovingly examined it for a while. She was obviously very satisfied.
"My son wants my mother to be like a peony, to enjoy all the wealth in the world!" Jiang Yunsheng took the opportunity to say.
"Good!" Good! I am very pleased that I have a son like you! "
The corner of Jiang Yunsheng's mouth slightly raised as he bowed and retreated. He knew that he had already achieved half of his goal. What he wanted to do next was to see what exactly was in Jiang Yuncai's hand!
At this moment, Jiang Yuncai and his family had an ugly expression on their faces. On Old Mrs Jiang's sixtieth birthday, Jiang Yuncai had the same thought as his mother, which was to take back the lost shop. However, based on the current situation, the shop would probably end up in Jiang Yunsheng's pocket.
"Apologies uncle Jiang, I didn't think that your Jiang Family would be so great." Even though Chiang Xu was talking to Jiang Yuncai, his eyes were staring at Jiang Qianxue apologetically.
"How about I send someone to retrieve another item?" As long as he could get Jiang Qianxue, he would not hesitate to sacrifice everything.
"Hai, it's too late." Jiang Yuncai said bitterly. Then, under Jiang Yunsheng's urging, he went up the stage.
"It's not bad even if it's the top Tang Three Colors. They're not the least bit inferior to the gift from Jiang Family, Second!" Someone shook his head and said after seeing the item in Jiang Yuncai's hand.
Old Mrs Jiang's mind seemed to be immersed in Gu Kaizhi's' Peony Gazing Spring Diagram ', so she replied in a flat tone, "Alright, I like it a lot."
Seeing that, Jiang Yuncai nodded his head bitterly, and was about to leave, but at that moment, Jiang Yunsheng suddenly spoke out: "Third brother, this seems to be a gift from Young Master Chiang Family, lending a flower to the Buddha is not bad!"
Jiang Yuncai's expression changed, and Old Mrs Jiang's expression immediately darkened. If this matter were to spread, what would happen to their Jiang Family?!
Jiang Yunsheng took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Third Brother, we are all sons, Mother sees our filial piety, not the value of a gift. What exactly did you prepare for Mother? Why don't you show it to us?"
Jiang Yuncai looked at Jiang Yunsheng with a slightly gloomy face, but he was at a loss of what to do. The birthday present that he had prepared today was only a few hundred thousand yuan. If he brought it up, it would be a big joke.
"Humph!" Old Mrs Jiang snorted coldly. It seemed that she didn't want to give Jiang Yuncai any face and wanted to chase him off the stage. But at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.
"Qianxue, how did you end up staying at home with a gift I prepared for grandma?"
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a thin and weak figure limping towards Jiang Qianxue.
The scene seemed to be quiet for a moment, then burst out in suppressed laughter.
"I thought I wouldn't see this cripple again this year!"
Lin Jing's appearance seemed to cause the faces of everyone in Jiang Family to darken, but there were too many outsiders present today.
"What are you doing here? Get lost! Do you still think that our family doesn't have enough jokes!? " Liu Fen shouted in a low voice.
Lin Jing didn't seem to hear his mother-in-law's words. He only looked at Jiang Qianxue gently and then said, "You've been wronged again."
"You even know that Qianxue has been wronged? What's your use? " Chiang Xu couldn't bear to see Lin Jing's expression and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Jiang Qianxue was also stunned for a moment when she saw Lin Jing's expression. Then, she frowned and said, "I'm fine. Hurry up and leave."
Lin Jing felt warm inside. However, he knew that everyone's attention was on this place and it was not the right time to talk. Thus, he took out a brocade box from his backpack and put it in Jiang Qianxue's hands.
"Hurry and bring it over to Grandma!"
Jiang Qianxue's frown deepened. She didn't know what Lin Jing was up to, but when she looked down, her pupils suddenly contracted.
Holding the brocade box in her hand, Jiang Qianxue walked towards the birthday celebration platform with weak steps. Until now, she still felt as if she was dreaming, because when Lin Jing pointed the small bowl in the box towards her, she just happened to see the four big words clearly carved at the bottom of the bowl: "Happy New Year".
As a member of the younger generation, how could Jiang Qianxue not know what these four words meant? So when she handed the embroidered box to Old Mrs Jiang, her eyebrows finally relaxed. The trouble in her house should have passed.
Old Mrs Jiang's gloomy face was immediately filled with shock when she saw the small bowl in Jiang Qianxue's hand. She carefully took the small white bowl from Jiang Qianxue's hand and placed it on the table.
When the crowd saw Old Mrs Jiang's cautious expression, they couldn't help but move closer to her. This was because Old Mrs Jiang hadn't been this cautious even when she had faced the peony spring map earlier.
The several people who were near the stage had their eyes trained on the small white bowl. They could not help but exclaim in shock, "Ming Chu, Yongle New Year!"
