Returning after 10000 Years Cultivation

Chapter 206: Birthday Worship

The old man nodded slightly, showing a touch of kindness, stroking the yellow satin box, and asked: "Jiang Chao, what kind of treasure is this? It's heavy, can't it be gold? I know you open a bar and open an antique shop, and you seem to make a lot of money. Got a little money!"

"Grandpa, let me open it for you!" Jiang Chaobidian stepped forward and opened the box.

Everyone looked over and couldn't help laughing - it turned out to be a pair of mahjong!

They all said in their hearts that when the old man is free, he likes to play two games of mahjong, and Jiang Chao is good at catering to his liking.

Jiang Changgeng took out a piece of mahjong and started to rub it. He felt that the card surface was very moist, like jade but not jade, and the color was not new. However, it was so soaked that it was crystal clear. It was definitely extraordinary at first glance. He weighed it and frowned in thought. , suddenly said in surprise:

"Is this made of ivory? This is illegal!"

? When he said this, everyone was immediately shocked.

According to the International Convention on the Conservation of Endangered Species, ivory and ivory products are now prohibited items for trade in the country. There is very little circulation on the market.

One hundred and thirty-six mahjong pieces, if they were all carved from ivory, would be worth millions of dollars!

Jiang Chao was not confused at all, and said with a faint smile: "Grandpa, don't be nervous! This is antique ivory, it can be circulated and traded, and it is not illegal to collect it!"

"It goes without saying the value!"

Jiang Chao said with a smile, "However, this mahjong does have some history. After experts and scholars have demonstrated, this is the mahjong played by the Empress Dowager Cixi - Jiyang Mahjong!"

"The Jiyang Mahjong that Empress Dowager Cixi played?"

Uncle Jiu was surprised and happy, and asked with a smile: "The name is quite strange, is there any allusion in it?"

Jiang Chao smiled and recited the information he had found: "Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was born in the Year of the Sheep, sheep are regarded as sacred objects in the palace where she is located. Many game objects are also blessed with the sound of the sheep, such as this lucky sheep mahjong." .For example, in this mahjong painting, all the white boards are engraved with a lamb, which means auspiciousness and prosperity."

Everyone took a look and found that it was indeed the case.

On the white board, there is a colorful lamb carved, which is so naive and joyful to look at, and I am convinced of it at the moment.

Jiang Changgeng frowned, seeming a little displeased, and said: "Jiang Chao, it's rare for you to have such filial piety! You still remember grandpa's little hobby, but you didn't spend less to buy this thing, right?"

Everyone was worried for a while.

Jiang Changgeng is old-fashioned and thrifty, and the most annoying thing is that his family spends money indiscriminately.

? ? ? ? "No, not a penny was spent!"

Jiang Chao smiled and said: "You also know that I own an antique shop. I bought it from a down-and-out foreign drunkard. I heard he said it was stolen from the Old Summer Palace when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Yanjing. I thought to myself, It’s also a national treasure. It’s not a big deal if it lives overseas, so I bought it for 50,000 yuan just for export.”

"According to experts, this pair of mahjong is worth at least two million! Because there are only five real Jiyang mahjongs in it, and the other mahjongs were made by me from antique mahjongs of the same era."

At this point, he seemed to shake his head with regret.

"Not bad!"

Uncle Jiu's admiration was beyond words, and he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Jiang Chao is so capable! Back then, foreigners oppressed me, China was poor and weak, but now Jiang Chao has legally and reasonably taken back what belongs to our ancestors!"

? "Jiang Chao, I accept this generous gift! But remember, mahjong is a plaything after all. You can only play it once in a while. Don't delay your work and studies!"

A long-lost smile appeared on Jiang Changgeng's face and he nodded.

Seeing this, Jiang Yangming and his wife were overjoyed. It was obvious that the old man fell in love with Jiang Chao even more.

Among the many disciples, some were envious and some were uneasy.

Jiang Chao's gift was such a big gift and he got off to a good start, but his own gift may not have such an effect.

"Hey, where did Jiang Tian go? He should be offering that imperial glass seed!"

Jiang Chao also looked proud, looking around, trying to find a sense of superiority in Jiang Tian, ​​but he didn't know when this kid had slipped away.

"Grandpa, let me give you a gift too!"

At this time, Jiang Banxia smiled sweetly, stepped forward slowly, and also held out a box.

Jiang Changgeng nodded and opened the box.

Next to him, Uncle Jiu suddenly laughed and said: "Oh, a little golden man, how fun it is!"

Everyone looked around and saw a palm-sized golden man in the box.

The limbs, head and neck, and even the eyes of the golden man can all move, and the work is very exquisite.

Moreover, it is covered with dense pinholes, which coincide with human acupuncture points and meridians.

Jiang Banxia glanced at Jiang Zhixing and his wife proudly, then looked away and said with a smile: "This is a bronze figure of the meridian points of the Qing Dynasty. Although it is made of gold, the meridians in the body are all alive, and the meridians are filled with mercury. As long as Stab the acupuncture points to stimulate the mechanism, and the mercury will shock, and his eyes will turn, his lips can move, and he will make strange sounds! It's like a living creature, very fun!"

At this time, Jiang Zhixing looked heavy and sighed. Zhang Wanqing's expression was also unbearable.

Alas, the gifts we prepared were far from perfect.

If Jiang Chao's gift was considered a so-so and carefree gift, Jiang Banxia's gift played right into the old man's wish.

You must know that the old man has been practicing medicine all his life, and he is almost obsessed with the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Wenji..."

Sure enough, Jiang Changgeng couldn't put it down. He looked at the soles of the bronze figure's feet and suddenly exclaimed: "Handmade!"

"Oh my God!"

He uttered an exclamation, feeling unbelievable, and trembled with excitement, and said: "This is made by Wu Qian, the great miraculous doctor of the Qing Dynasty and the chief editor of the "Golden Mirror of Medicine", whose courtesy name is Wenji! This, this is a piece of cake." What a good thing! How did you get it? "

"Wu Qian's descendant, Wu Miaoshou of Yanjing Yangmai Hall, entrusted me with financial management when I was working on Wall Street in the United States."

Jiang Banxia seemed humble, but still couldn't hide his pride, and said softly: "In the past three years, I helped him manage his finances with an annual compound rate of return of 25%, doubling his assets, so he gave me this to express his gratitude! "

"Tsk, tsk, Sister Banxia is so grand. If you put this thing on the antique market, it would be worth at least four million!" Jiang Chao next to him kept clicking his tongue and sighing.

"Panxia is amazing. As expected of a master in finance, the annualized return rate is 25%, which is amazing!"

"We have a female Buffett in our family!"

"I heard that Banxia was introduced by the Provincial State Investment Corporation as a high-level talent returned from overseas. He started as an investment director at the deputy director level, with an annual salary of millions!"

Many people present looked in admiration. The young people are even more envious and jealous, and feel ashamed.

"Ban Xia, actually I wanted you to study medicine back then, but you ended up studying finance."

A trace of regret appeared on the old man's face, and then he smiled with relief and said gently: "Now it seems that you are right to stick to your choice. You have made great achievements in your field. Keep up the good work!"

"Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely work hard!" Jiang Banxia smiled sweetly and retreated behind his parents.

Later, several juniors also had gifts, which were either valuable, original, or had a long history.

Finally, under the gaze of many eyes, Jiang Qingfeng stepped forward, presented the gift, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is my gift!"

"Qingfeng is the most outstanding talent of the Jiang family. I wonder what generous gifts he will give!"

"It will definitely overwhelm the audience!"

The scene couldn't be calm, there was a lot of whispering, and the faces were full of excitement and expectation.

Even Uncle Jiu couldn't calm down anymore and kept urging: "Chang Geng, open it quickly, let us open our eyes!"

Jiang Changgeng opened the gift box and saw that an ordinary-looking ancient scroll revealed its true identity. On the cover of the yellowed paper, there were written in regular script - "On the Origin of Medicine"!

Even Jiang Changgeng couldn't calm down. A look of shock flashed across his face and he said with a smile: "This is "On the Origin of Medicine" handwritten by Xu Dachun, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty. It is an only copy! It is a collection of the Xu family, a large medical family. It is very rare. How did you get it? This is a national treasure!"

"Grandpa, that's it..."

Jiang Qingfeng narrated: "Last year I went to the Xu family for an academic visit, and I competed with Xu Tianlei, a doctor at the Royal Medical Hall, a descendant of Xu Dachun, and we were evenly matched. On a whim, he gave me this book!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly burst into awe and admired Jiang Qingfeng.

The one who stands out the most today is Jiang Qingfeng!

Not to mention the valuable gift, his medical skills can actually compete with those of the experts from the Royal Medical Hall. This is such an incredible existence.

"It's rare that Qingfeng's medical skills can compete with Xu Tianlei's!"

Uncle Jiu was very happy, stroking his palms and exclaiming: "Chang Geng, you have such good grandsons and granddaughters who are capable, capable, and filial. Your merits in this life can be considered complete!"

"Well, not bad, not bad!"

Jiang Changgeng nodded, but his face was already a little cold.

In fact, when Jiang Banxia said those words, he was a little suspicious.

The chance that she can really compare to Buffett is very slim.

By the time Jiang Qingfeng presented the gift, he had completely figured it out in his heart.

Jiang Qingfeng had no ability to compare with Xu Tianlei, whose medical skills were as good as his own.

There is only one possibility, that is, they spent a lot of money to buy these gifts.

But they also know that they don’t like them spending money randomly, so they make up these lies and put makeup on their faces!

It seems that they all know that they are in trouble, and they are all trying their best to fight for power and profit, and carve up the Jiang family!

However, with so many people present at this moment, he couldn't rashly break the news and prevent them from getting off the stage, so he could only let out a long sigh in his heart:

Could it be that the Jiang family really didn’t have a talented person to turn the tide?

But Jiang Shouren and Jiang Yangming's family never expected that the old man's eyes had seen through everything and he was still complacent.

"Hey, isn't Jiang Tian very capable? Where are you? Why don't you give the old man a gift?"

The aunt looked at Jiang Zhixing and said sarcastically.

"Yes, he dares to scold even my eldest brother. He is so capable and powerful. Why is he gone now?" The second aunt also snorted coldly.

"Didn't he win a sports car from Yu Qiang? Give it to the old man for fun!" Jiang Banxia also sneered.

Jiang Zhixing's face was pale and gloomy, and he didn't know how to respond.

Who knew that on the old man’s 70th birthday, they would be so generous with gifts and spend so much money!

They just bought some supplements and old medicines, which were worth only a few thousand yuan, and they couldn't sell them at all.
