Happy Little Scholar

"Hey, how come my second brother also has a "Longevity Picture"?" The little fat boy almost lost face just now. After retreating, he stood obediently beside his father and mother. After seeing his second brother present a gift to his grandmother, he touched his head and said with some doubt. 』

"What do you mean, who else also gave a "Longevity Picture"?" Li Mingyuan is still wondering whether his kid is really so hidden that even his father can't see it. Hearing his whisper, he subconsciously asked.

The little fat boy scratched his head and said, "And my eldest brother. I saw him preparing a gift in his room two days ago. My eldest brother seemed to say that it was a "Longevity Picture"."

"Really?" The little fat boy's mother asked in surprise.

The most taboo thing when giving gifts is to be exactly the same as others, especially when being compared with others. In front of so many guests, you will definitely lose face. The same "Longevity Picture", the work of the famous talent Zhao Chun, is far better than others.

The two presented gifts one after another, and people would naturally compare them. At that time, one of them would definitely look unhappy.

"Really, if you don't believe me, ask the second aunt. She asked me that day!" The little fat man patted his chest and said.

"Second sister-in-law?" Liu raised her head and looked at Fang who was standing not far away, and she immediately understood.

She deliberately wanted to embarrass her eldest brother's child in front of so many people.

However, although she was very disgusted with her behavior, the wife of the head of the family actually used such means to embarrass her family, but it was her freedom to give any gift she wanted, and it was not easy to blame her.

"What should I do?" Liu Ruyi stood next to Li Yi and asked in a low voice.

"What should I do? He gave his gift and I gave mine. What should I do?" Li Yi replied.

He glanced at Fang opposite him, but he didn't expect that her mind was so narrow and she could do such a thing. The little fat man was heartless, and he was afraid that she would easily be tricked by her.

Liu Ruyi already knew what gift Li Yi was going to give the old lady. After hearing what the people around her said, she roughly knew that the "Longevity Picture" that Li Yi had just presented should be quite precious. If Li Yi took out his own, he would definitely be outshined.

"How about you give this sword?" Liu Ruyi raised her hand and handed over the sword she carried with her.

Li Yi saw the reluctance flashing in her eyes. She had been carrying this sword since he first met Miss Liu Er, and she had never sold it even when life was the most difficult and hardest.

This is indeed a rare and good sword. When Li Yi first wanted to borrow it to play with, she didn't even let him touch it.

"Forget it." Li Yi pushed the sword back. How much is face worth? Only Fang Shi took her face seriously. Li Yi didn't think his face was more important than Miss Liu Er's beloved sword.

After saying that, Li Yingjie had already walked down. Li Yi smiled at Miss Liu Er and walked up with the scroll.

"Who is this?" Seeing a strange young man coming up after Li Yingjie, some guests showed doubts on their faces.

"It should be the son of Li's eldest son. I heard that the Li family brought back their eldest grandson and brought him into the mansion a few days ago. It should be him."

Soon, everyone's eyes were on Li Yi.

Most of them were very clear about the changes in the Li family twenty years ago. The eldest grandson of the Li family who returned to the family some time ago naturally received enough attention.

When Fang saw Li Yi holding something like a scroll in his hand, a sneer appeared on her face.

Li Yi walked in front of the old lady and said with a smile: "Grandson personally made a "Longevity Picture" to wish grandma a long life and long life."

"Longevity Picture?" A trace of surprise appeared on the faces of all the guests. Another longevity picture?

What Li Yingjie presented just now was Zhao Chun's work. Many dignitaries in Beijing like to collect it. This eldest grandson of the Li family also presented a longevity picture. From what he said just now, he actually wrote it himself?

One is worth a thousand gold, and the other is probably just a piece of waste paper. His gift is similar to the one given by the fat man just now. The common point is that they don't need to spend too much thought and can save a lot of money.

Li Yingjie, who just stood at his position, was slightly stunned. He looked back at his mother and then at the brother who was not very familiar with him. His expression was slightly dazed.

"Okay, okay." The old lady looked at him kindly, without any other expression because of the three words "Wanshoutu". She smiled and said: "Yier is thoughtful. Grandma accepted the "Wanshoutu". This night pearl will be given to you."

The old lady did not open it in front of him. She handed the scroll to the maid beside her, and personally selected a brocade box from a pile of gifts and put it in Li Yi's hand with a smile.

The guests, including the Li family members present, were a little stunned. In terms of value, this "Longevity Picture" was probably the least valuable of all the gifts tonight, but the old lady's return gift was the most precious. Not to mention Li Yingjie who also gave a longevity picture, even the gift given to the fat man just now was far less valuable.

The old lady's move immediately changed everyone's eyes when they looked at Li Yi.

The old lady played at least half of the role in the Li family's survival for so many years. Under such circumstances tonight, she would naturally not make any unnecessary moves. This move must have a deep meaning...

Fang's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip. She didn't 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 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 must put it away carefully. I would have known that the nephew also gave me the "Longevity" gift." "Picture", I asked Yingjie to prepare something else. Speaking of which, it is my nephew who has the best intention. Although Zhao Chun's "Picture of Longevity" 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, it's better. Open it on the spot and have 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.
