Chapter 825: Long live my brother
While talking, the mother and the others had already gathered around the grandmother, waiting to admire the pair of jade bracelets, and everyone was very excited.
"Okay! I also want to see if this pair of mutton fat jade bracelets is as good as Xiaotian said!"
Grandma nodded in response, and then opened the red sandalwood box in her hand with great interest.
In an instant, a soft light began to circulate in the living room and in everyone's eyes, making everyone feel nourished.
The living room was completely silent, and all the family members were fascinated by the pair of top-grade mutton fat jade bracelets in the red sandalwood box, and there was no sound for a while.
Especially the women of all sizes in the family, one counts as one, all of them have an obsessive expression, and they can't take their eyes off the pair of mutton fat jade bracelets!
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian suddenly chuckled.
In front of him, at the moment when he was about to give this pair of mutton fat jade bracelets to his grandmother, he had already expected it, and the reality was indeed the case!
......
By the time several women in the family took turns admiring the bracelets, it had been more than ten minutes.
In the reluctant and envious eyes of the mother and sister-in-law, the grandmother closed the red sandalwood box and put away the pair of top-grade mutton fat jade bracelets.
Next, Ye Tian took out a box about one meter long from the trolley box and placed it on the coffee table.
"Dad, this is a gift for you, guess what's in it?"
Ye Tian didn't open the box for the first time, but sold it to his father.
"That's what I guessed! You kid is imaginative, you want to come out of it! But looking at the shape and length of this box, could it be a calligraphy and painting artwork?"
Dad shook his head and said, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.
"I guess it's also a calligraphy and painting artwork, maybe it's still a top-level artwork! Like the previous Duan Yan and Guanyin statues, it is also a national treasure!"
The little uncle interjected excitedly, and his eyes were also full of anticipation.
"Dad, little uncle, you guessed very accurately, what is contained here is indeed a calligraphy and painting artwork, and it is a top work of art, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national treasure, but it is not one, but two!"
Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle and said, revealing the answer.
"Ah! two national treasure-level calligraphy and painting artworks, too exaggerated!"
The second uncle exclaimed in surprise and said incredulously.
"That's right, second uncle, it's two national treasure-level calligraphy and painting artworks!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian reached out and opened the box and took out two scrolls wrapped in white silk from inside.
It's time to enjoy the paintings and calligraphy!
Next, two ink landscape paintings with strong brushwork and lofty artistic conception were successively unfolded on the empty coffee table and presented in front of the family, and Ye Tian's explanation followed.
"This Chinese ink landscape painting is the representative work of the famous painter Li Tang in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Autumn Colors of Rivers and Mountains", which was previously collected in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and was exchanged by me in Boston.
Li Tang's painting style is vigorous and simple, majestic, and pioneered the vigorous and vigorous style of ink painting in the Southern Song Dynasty.
......
The following ink landscape painting is also from the Southern Song Dynasty, and is one of the representative works of the famous painter Ma Yuan, "Crossing the Water in the Cave Mountain", which has a history of more than 900 years and is famous in the history of painting.
It is worth mentioning that this top artwork was originally in the collection of the Old Summer Palace, a royal garden, and was later looted by the Japanese and brought to Tokyo, Japan, where it has been kept in the Tokyo National Museum.
By chance, I found this top famous painting in Boston, and then used some means to get this top famous painting in my pocket, and I brought it back when I returned to China this time!
......
There is no doubt that these are two of the top works of art, well-deserved national treasures, and they are national first-class cultural relics in the Forbidden City!
One thing I must make clear: Dad, you are a state civil servant, and your rank is not low, and there are some things that you must pay special attention to, especially when it comes to money, and you can't be too careful.
Uncle, you are in an important position in the district party committee, and you should also pay attention to this aspect of the matter! In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, all the gifts I give you will have corresponding supporting documents to prove your innocence!
These documents will indicate the origin of the antique artworks and the museum to which they originally belonged, and they will have not only my signature, but also the signature of my lawyer, everything is well documented!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian took out two paper bags from the trolley box and handed them to his father and uncle respectively!
Without a moment's hesitation, Dad and Uncle immediately took the file bag, quickly pulled out the documents inside, and began to check them.
What Ye Tian said was exactly what they were worried about.
Since you eat the bowl of rice of national civil servants, you have to think about this aspect of things, unless you don't do it!
After two or three minutes, they had finished reading all the documents, and the smiles on their faces suddenly became brighter, obviously much more relieved.
After admiring the two national treasure-level paintings on the coffee table for a while, my father carefully rolled them up, and put these two top artworks back into the box under the envious eyes of the second uncle and the younger uncle.
Next, Ye Tian took out the gift for his mother and put it on the coffee table.
The first one is a set of Ming Dynasty imitation Ru kiln celadon tea sets, a total of four, each of which is very elegant and beautiful!
On the bottom of these beautiful celadon feet, Li Qingzhao's poems are written, which are the four most representative nouns, and they are handwritten by famous artists, which can be said to be unique!
In addition to this group of Ming Dynasty imitation Ru kiln celadon, he also presented his mother with an ancient book, which was Ji Yun Ji Xiaolan's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang".
That is, the book that was known as the "double wall" of Qing Dynasty notes along with "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", and at that time it was parallel to "Dream of Red Mansions", and it was of great historical, literary and social and cultural research value.
Although this ancient book is not Ji Yun's handwriting, it is an ancient book printed in the third year of Jiaqing and specially made with a thousand years of ancient Xuan, which is very exquisite.
And the day when Ji Yun's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" was officially completed happened to be the third year of Jiaqing, and only one edition was printed that year, and the number was very small.
From this point of view, this ancient book can be called a copy of "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", and there is no discrepancy in the content, whether it is collection value or research value, it is extraordinary.
For these two gifts, my mother loves them to the core, and she doesn't want to let go when she picks them up, she is crazy with happiness!
In addition to being excited, my mother hugged Ye Tian on the spot and smacked him hard in the face, but instead gave Ye Tian a big red face, causing the family to laugh.
Next are the second uncle and second aunt, who also have two gifts each, all of which are valuable antique artworks.
Then there is the sister-in-law, who are still giving away top-level antique artworks, and the number is the same, two pieces per person, and a bowl of water!
After explaining the picture of Zhang Daqian who was given to his sister-in-law, Ye Tian looked at the three little guys.
At this moment, the three little ones were staring at him, at the huge metal trolley case on the floor, their eyes full of anticipation.
However, the next scene was completely unexpected by them, and also by all the family members!
Ye Tian grinned at the three little guys, then bent down to cover the trolley box on the floor, and quickly closed the zipper and locked it.
The three little guys were completely dumbfounded, and looked at Ye Tian one by one dumbfounded.
It wasn't until he carried the trolley box to the wall and put it away that the three little ones woke up and became anxious.
"What's the situation? This is the end of the gift? Am you mistaken?"
Dongzi asked in surprise, his eyes full of incredulity, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Linlin and Chenxi had depressed expressions on their faces, their expressions were very ugly, and they were so anxious that they were about to cry!
Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and said jokingly:
"Isn't that the end of it, what do you think?"
Before the words fell, Chenxi's aggrieved tears flowed down her cheeks, and there were also tears rolling in Linlin's eyes, and they were about to flow out!
Dongzi was still a little stronger, and asked with a bite of his back molars:
"Brother, there's no such thing as you! What about our gifts? Didn't you just say that everyone had them? They teased us for a long time, but there was nothing! We only stared at us!"
The joke is almost over here, and if it continues, the little ones will be crying.
In the midst of great disappointment, a few of the little ones might even hate themselves.
"Hahaha, amuse you, of course everyone has gifts, how can I forget you?
Ye Tian smiled and walked between the two younger sisters, and reached out to take the two tearful little guys into his arms.
In the next second, Lin Lin and Chen Xi invariably stretched out their hands and pinched Ye Tian's left and right arms.
"Brother, you're so bad, strangled you big villain, caused me to shed so many tears, and lost my life!"
"You're lying to me! You scoundrel, what a loss!"
"Ahh
Ye Tian shook his arms and shouted, with a painful expression on his face.
"Sister Linlin, Chenxi, don't spare him!"
Dongzi shouted from the side, with a gloating expression, and he hated to come up to take revenge in person.
"Hahaha"
The family laughed, but no one came up to rescue Ye Tian, and Betty was the same, enjoying herself on the sidelines.
In the midst of laughter, Linlin and Chenxi each stretched out their hands in front of Ye Tian and said in unison:
"Where's the gift?"
The tone of the two little ones was very firm, and there was no doubt at all.
"Yes, where is our gift?"
Dongzi also came up, his eyes searching around.
Ye Tian's gaze swept around the faces of the three little guys, and then said with a chuckle:
"You are still young, you must not be able to give you antique art, not only do you not know how to collect and appreciate, but you may even damage those treasures, then the gain outweighs the loss!
The most suitable and probably most wanted gift for you guys should be the most popular things today, such as electronics, fashion items, and so on.
But these things can be bought in Beijing, and there is no need to bring them from New York, which is purely superfluous, and buying them in Beijing can also contribute some tax revenue to the country!
Linlin, I remember that you have already got your driver's license, right? How about buying you a car? Do you want it? You can pick a car within 500,000 yuan, if you don't want it, forget it!"
"Yes! Of course you do! Fools don't want it! That's what you said! Pick a car within 500,000 yuan, and don't pay the bill! Otherwise, I'll be done with you! Bite you to death!"
Lin Lin nodded in response, her face almost laughing.
If it weren't for Ye Tian hugging her, this girl would have jumped up and started to celebrate wildly.
"Brother, you promised to buy a car for Sister Linlin, what is the gift for us?
Dongzi asked impatiently, looking at Ye Tian eagerly.
Chenxi was the same, looking up at Ye Tian tightly, her eyes were full of anticipation.
"I don't know what you want most, but I can give you the right to choose, as long as my sister-in-law nods and allows, you can choose any gift, the conditions are the same as Linlin's, not the same!
If you can't think of something suitable for a while, that's okay, I'll give each of you a bank card, each card has 500,000 yuan, which will be kept by my sister-in-law, and you can buy gifts in the future!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, giving the best answer.
As soon as the words fell, cheers resounded through the small courtyard.
"Great! Long live my brother!"
