Chapter 998 A letter as a congratulatory gift

Finally arrived at the inner courtyard, but saw an old man with white hair and childlike face sitting in the lobby, accepting birthday greetings from all the guests.

This old man is Xiao Yiyun, who is also the old head of the Xiao family.

Although he is eighty years old, he still has not retired, and still holds the power of the family, but he has given the main authority to his eldest son Xiao Kaijiang, and the final decision-making power for all major events is still in his hands.

At this time, Xiao Yiyun was surrounded by descendants of the Xiao family, all beaming and happy.

Most of the families in Yandu sent representatives to congratulate them, and they all sent rich gifts to express their hearts.

When it was Tang Wan's turn to give gifts, she asked a bodyguard to take out a box of 300-year-old Polygonum multiflorum from a large cardboard box.

Because the elderly have no special interest in gold and silver, but they have a soft spot for rare medicinal materials that can maintain life vitality.

Therefore, when this Polygonum multiflorum flower was delivered to Xiao Yiyun's hands, a gleam of light shot out of his originally somewhat cloudy eyes, which was fleeting.

"Such a generous gift, I really thank the old Patriarch Tang for his kindness." Xiao Yiyun praised Tang Wan, and handed Polygonum multiflorum to the personal butler Liu.

"Great-grandfather also greeted you, wishing you, Grandpa Xiao, good fortune like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan." Tang Wan smiled and gave a big gift.

"Thank you, thank you, and please also send my regards to your great-grandfather." Xiao Yiyun said.

Then, Fan Hu also sent a gift, but it was a chess piece carved from jade.

The people present were all loan-savvy people, so of course they recognized the high value of this chess set.

Immediately afterwards, Nalan Tianyu, Mo Qingshan, Fan Hu and others each sent out quite expensive gifts.

At the end, the Xiao family's own descendants began to give gifts.

Seeing some uncles giving presents, Xiao Yan smiled, walked up to Ye Xiaoning deliberately, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, cousin Xiaoning, what gift do you want to give your grandfather?"

"My gift is definitely not as valuable as Brother Yan, so it's better not to show it." Ye Xiaoning said a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, it's no wonder that you were born in that poor area of ​​Nanjiang, so how can you have something good to offer?" Xiao Zhan also sneered.

Although Li Zhen's status is very respected, the two brothers Xiao Yan still want to suppress Li Zhen in terms of gift giving.

Although they don't have many careers, the gifts they prepared for grandpa are still very expensive.

Seeing Li Zhen staring intently at some people giving gifts, Xiao Yan asked in a low voice, "I don't know what gift Captain Li prepared for my grandfather?"

"What's going on, Xiao Ning and I are husband and wife, is there a separate gift?" Li Zhen was a little at a loss.

"Although you are a husband and wife, don't you still have a very noble status, captain of the dragon armor, this is an extremely glorious position, so, based on these, you also have to prepare another gift for My grandpa."

Xiao Yan knew that Li Zhen looked poor and had no money to buy gifts, so he said these words on purpose to disgust Li Zhen.

Besides, he and Li Zhen are only peers, not subordinates, so he looks down on this cousin-in-law who is dressed as a beggar.

What the hell, with such a high status and dressed like this, isn't it obviously for disgusting people?
He also couldn't understand why such a stunning cousin fell in love with Li Zhen who was obviously like a high school student. This was really incomprehensible.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Li Zhen suddenly said nervously: "Well, I'm really not prepared, and no one told me before. I thought that if Xiao Ning gave it away, it meant that both of us gave it away. .”

Speaking of this, Li Zhen suddenly remembered, wasn't it a letter from Ding Chunqiu to himself, it was meant to be handed over to Xiao Yiyun.

I don't know if this can be given as a congratulatory gift.

"That can't be done, wait a moment, every couple will have their own gifts, and even those single grandchildren will also give gifts to my grandfather."

Xiao Yan said emphatically.

Soon, it was the turn of the two brothers to give gifts.

What Xiao Yan gave was a pair of snow-white jade lions, the price is not bad from the delicate color.

As for Xiao Zhan, what he gave was a painting and calligraphy, which was actually Tang Yin's original "Tiger". The value of this gift was more valuable than that of the Jade Lion.

For this, the others were full of praise. For a while, the guests who came to give gifts gathered around and gave a thumbs up.

Finally, it was the turn of the Ye family's grandson with a foreign surname to send a congratulatory gift.

Ye Xiaomeng gave a pair of pearls the size of pigeon eggs, while Ye Jun and Xiao Qinglan gave a set of extremely precious red sandalwood tea sets, which were very valuable.

When it was Ye Xiaoning's turn, she unhurriedly took out a piece of Pixiu carved from imperial jade, the whole body had a green luster, which made people stunned.

Imperial jade is inherently valuable, and the price of works of art created by master jade sculptors is even more difficult to estimate.

Therefore, when Ye Xiaoning sent out the imperial jade as a congratulatory gift, everyone couldn't help being surprised and surprised.

They agreed that among all the juniors, Ye Xiaoning's gift was probably the most valuable.

"Xiao Ning wishes grandpa good fortune like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan. He will grow old and strong, with the spirit of a dragon and a horse."

Ye Xiaoning began to flatter the old grandfather, which made Xiao Yiyun feel a little flustered, but stared at Ye Xiaoning's side with piercing eyes, and asked, "Xiao Ning, this is your husband-in-law, Li Zhen."

He carefully looked Li Zhen up and down.

"Yes, his name is Li Zhen." Ye Xiaoning said with some embarrassment.

Because Li Zhen always went out, she never had a chance to bring Li Zhen to visit her grandfather, so when my grandfather asked about it, she felt a little embarrassed.

Then he said softly to Li Zhen: "Li Zhen, you are still called Grandpa?" "The expression is a little annoyed.

Li Zhen hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa, hello."

"Well, yes, yes, Li Zhen, I heard that you have become the captain of the dragon armor at a young age. You are really capable. Congratulations." Xiao Yiyun hurriedly congratulated, thinking, this Xiao family will have a lot of people in the future. With such a big backer, maybe it won't be long before they will flourish again.

"Hehe, grandpa, no matter how capable I am, Li Zhen, I am still your nephew and son-in-law. Here, my nephew and son-in-law wish grandpa good health and delicious food..."

Before Li Zhen finished speaking, Xiao Yan, who was standing by the side, hurriedly said: "Li Zhen, you can't do this, every one of our grandchildren has sent congratulatory gifts, and you, a dignified captain, didn't give gifts. It doesn't make sense to go anywhere."

Between the words, he satirized Li Zhen for being stingy.

"Who said I don't have a congratulatory gift." Li Zhen took out a crumpled letter from his pocket in a hurry, handed it to Xiao Yiyun with both hands, and said respectfully: "Dear grandpa, I have nothing to give I can only take this letter as a congratulatory gift and give it to you. I hope you can accept it."
