Chapter 581

At this time, someone presented a gift to Mr. Su, and there were naturally some discussions below.

"What big piece of jade material should be used to carve it into shape?"

"Stupid, didn't you pay attention to it just now? Yu Ruyi was divided into three pieces and then simmered with gold foil. So things are not as precious as you imagined, and the good show is still coming."

"That is, generally speaking, the first person who presents a gift is often not confident in his gift..."

Amid the whispers of the crowd, the second, third, fourth, fifth, six, seven or eight people soon stood up. The things presented by each person were different, but they were undoubtedly very precious gifts.

Things like rhinoceros horn cups, longevity wood carvings, calligraphy and longevity couplets of famous artists are also considered relatively normal categories. However, other things like Zheng Banqiao’s Three Friends of the Year of the Year, century-old wild ginseng, and official kiln gourds (Fulu) bottles in the Qing Dynasty are also considered very valuable treasures.

Although the people who can attend Mr. Su's birthday party have some relationships with the Su family or those who have relationships with the Su family. Although this is a bit confusing, this is also a fact. In a sense, the people present are not ordinary people, and many of them are even rich or noble.

But whether it is rich or noble, I suddenly saw many very precious gifts. Most people were a little surprised and couldn't help but discuss them even more. There were only two topics of discussion, one was the value of each item, and the other was whose gift was the most precious.

"Don't worry, didn't you say that, it's just the beginning."

During the banquet, someone like Wanshi Zhi, smiled mysteriously and said, "Didn't you see it? No one at the front tables did not move, and he knew that the good show was still behind."

At the same time, at the table where Wang Guan was, Yan Laoqing took a sip of Huadiao wine. Not only did he not feel drunk on his face, but his eyes were a little brighter. Then he smiled and said, "Xiao Hao, so many people have come up and show off, but you sit so steadily. Did you find something good yesterday?"

While speaking, Old Yan glanced at Wang Guan and smiled and said, "Can you buy his teacup?"

"Old Yan, I want to buy it, but I am helpless." Hao Baolai smiled bitterly and said, "If I really bought the teacup, I would probably lose everything."

"Haha, that's true." Yan Laoshen agreed and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up and present the gift. Otherwise, the more you drag it to the back, the less you take out the things you don't have good enough, and then some unsatisfied people will laugh at it."

"Old Yan, don't worry."

Hao Bao smiled and said, "I just got a treasure. Maybe it may not be the best thing in the audience, but it should be the most appropriate birthday gift."

"Just now?" Mr. Yan was a little surprised: "What you mean, is the gift being prepared hastily?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Yan, even if I have a temporary idea, I must have a sense of responsibility. If it is not a good thing, how dare I drag it to the end and embarrass people." Hao Baolai smiled, full of confidence in the tortoiseshell scales.

"That's true." Old Yan said with a smile: "Then I'll wait and see."

While speaking, fewer and fewer people stood up to celebrate Mr. Su's birthday and present a gift, and in the end no one appeared.

At this moment, Hao Baolai, under the gaze of everyone, held something and slowly headed towards the chief. Although he was a little hasty to get the tortoiseshell scales, the thing was still simply packaged and covered with exquisite soft cloth, making it difficult to see what object it was.

"It seems like a plate?"

"It's probably something like a happy and sutra tray."

However, some people have roughly speculated based on the shape of the object.

Amid the whispers, Hao Baolai walked briskly to Mr. Su, first respectfully presented the things, and then said with a smile: "Old Su, I'm here to pay your birthday. I wish you good health and longevity."

"Okay, you're intent." Old Master Su smiled and took down the object.

At this time, there was no need for Mr. Su to do anything. Someone next to him smiled and said, "Old Su, what kind of treasure is this? Let's show it out for everyone to watch."

Mr. Su looked at Hao Baolai, and after seeing his calm expression, he nodded happily and pulled the soft cloth apart. In an instant, an object with black and brown markings in the shape of a shield immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"Tortoise shell piece?"

Many people were stunned, with more or less doubts in their hearts. The eyes of Hao Baolai were filled with strange expressions. They thought in their hearts that this person might be here to make trouble. On a festive day like Mr. Su's 80th birthday, he was so embarrassed to give him a broken shell, and it was a tortoise shell. Is it a nuance?

Of course, the so-called world is drunk and I am awake alone. There are also people who are discerning in the audience. Seeing objects with clear marks, beautiful and transparent patterns, someone laughed and said with a little thought: "This is tortoiseshell scale, it is actually a disc-shaped size, which is relatively rare."

"Oh, it turns out tortoiseshell!"

For a moment, many people suddenly realized and understood Hao Baolai's intentions. After all, tortoiseshell is known as a long-lived turtle, and in this case, it is appropriate to give such things.

However, after understanding what was going on, some people began to be disappointed. People who thought that the last thing they appeared was a very precious treasure couldn't help but shake their heads, feeling that they were wasting their expectations.

"What are you doing? You should have taken out such a thing long ago, why should you delay it until the end?"

“That’s it…”

Many people agree gently, but it is undeniable that tortoiseshell is indeed a precious object, but its preciousness is limited and it is not the heavyweight treasure that everyone expects. Sometimes the expectation value is too high, the greater the disappointment value.

Generally speaking, the result of disappointing everyone means that Hao Baolai has become the target of everyone's secret cursing.

"It shouldn't be."

At this time, Old Yan frowned and said, "Isn't Xiao Hao full of confidence? How can you fool people with such things?"

"Old Yan, don't worry, good show is behind." Gao Dequan was right next to him and laughed: "That thing is not simple. Besides, Baolai is not stupid. If it is a simple thing, how dare you take it up."

"That's right." Old Yan smiled and continued to watch with a cane.

"Huh!"

At this moment, Mr. Su, who was watching the tortoiseshell scales, looked at him with a certain look of surprise. Unlike others, at the beginning, Mr. Su knew that the birthday gift that Hao Baolai gave him would definitely not be simple, so after watching carefully, he naturally found clues.

"Bao, you are really mean." Mr. Su's fingers slightly touched the markings on the tortoiseshell scales, and his expression showed an unexpected and surprised look: "Have you been searching for a long time? Thank you for your hard work."

"As long as Mr. Su likes it." Hao Baolai said happily, but he didn't dare to say that the things were obtained just now.

It was Mr. Su who gave him face and said this on purpose.

Some people guessed in their hearts, but a guest sitting next to Mr. Su noticed the movement of his fingers and immediately screamed in surprise: "Shou!"

"What longevity?" Others naturally asked in surprise.

"Look at the black marks on the tortoiseshell scales." The man quickly explained: "It seems to be an ancient character "天天".

No one else said much, because it was far apart, it was naturally impossible to see clearly. However, the guests at the chief took advantage of the territory and looked over. Mr. Su did not cherish the broom and directly laid the tortoiseshell scales flat so that they could see more clearly.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that among the shield-shaped tortoiseshell scales, at a slightly inclined angle, large and small stripes did form the character "Shou". The character "Shou" is obviously formed naturally, so the strokes are inevitably somewhat incomplete, but they can also be clearly identified.

Seeing this situation, a group of guests couldn't help but be amazed, and some even directly asserted that it was the mark of the word "longevity" that could make the identity of this tortoiseshell scale increase by a hundred times. Many people agreed deeply and nodded in agreement.

"In ancient times, such objects should be considered auspicious. I'm afraid only the emperor and the empress dowager can collect them." A guest smiled and said, "The old man should have the immortal blessing and longevity and the heavens will be together."

This must be an exaggeration, but it's enough for everyone to understand it. No one exposes it. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said it was...

No matter what, Hao Baolai was very happy when he was very popular. After tribute to Mr. Su, he retreated with satisfaction.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Mr. Yan say dissatisfied: "Xiao Hao, you are not kind. If you have such a treasure, why didn't you tell me before? Now that you have entered Ruisheng's warehouse, you will probably be in a dark pearl and you will never have a chance to make a comeback."

"Mr. Yan see what you said..." Hao Baolai smiled and did not hesitate to the east: "Mr. Yan, tell you the truth. The things were transferred to me by Wang Guan. I heard that he still has many good things. You always want to see the baby, so just go find him."

"Is that true?" Old Yan immediately turned his head to look at Wang Guan.

In an instant, Wang Guan smiled helplessly and spread his hands and said, "Old Yan, even if I have any good things, I can't bring them here. Otherwise, you can go to the capital city with me or go to the porcelain capital. Also, you don't know, actually Uncle Hao's house has a treasure house, and there are more treasures there."

"Both are slippery." Old Yan laughed and scolded: "It turns out that in your heart, I am a big thief. I want to steal any good things when I see them, so I hide them and don't let me know."

"Things are not."

The two of them shook their heads repeatedly, talking and laughing, and the birthday party at noon ended. With Su Wenyi's gift, about two-thirds of the guests boarded the passenger ship and left. Of course, some guests stayed. Wang Guan originally planned to leave, but when he saw that Hao Baolai had not left, he was embarrassed to mention this matter.

However, at this time, Mr. Yan leaned on a crutch and smiled and said, "Let's go and see Ruisheng's harvest. I just saw many treasures and felt itchy. I knew it would be like this, so I didn't sit in the chief. After all, I can't just watch it, it's boring..." (To be continued. Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
