My charming CEO wife

"Lu Chen met the old man."

Lu Chen bowed to the old man.

"It's a good-looking and talented man, worthy of being Mr. Yehu's son."

The old man smiled lightly, and took Lu Chen's hand, "Lu Chen, you have to work hard. It doesn't matter if the Lu clan kicked you out. Our Xia family will be our backing in the future. I also believe that Mr. Yehu's son , will not be worse than anyone else."

He looked around for another week, and then said: "Everyone listen carefully, the foundation of our Xia family is the five words of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust. From today onwards, Lu Chen will be the eldest son-in-law of our Xia family. If you dare to speak coldly to him again, I will be the first to spare him!"

His eyes were scorching, showing the potential of a fierce tiger.

The Xia family kept silent, saying things like old man, don't worry about us.

"Father……"

Xia Shaoshang's face became extremely ugly, and he bit the bullet and said, "This matter...should we discuss it again?"

Xia Longtu looked at Xia Shaoshang, and said in a low voice: "Shaoshang, I passed on the position of Patriarch to you more than ten years ago. I don't care about family affairs, big or small, and let you decide. But this matter There is no room for negotiation, my Xia family can stand in the southeast for hundreds of years, relying on keeping promises, this is the foundation of our family, no one can break this bottom line."

"This……"

Xia Shaoshang's body froze, he wanted to say something more, but he held back, cupped his hands and said, "My child knows."

After he finished speaking, he gave Lu Chen a cold look, obviously not letting it go.

The old man held Lu Chen's hand and said with a smile, "Son, the banquet is about to start, you can sit at the table with me."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Lu Chen and Xia Shiqing to sit at the dining table in the east. The rest of the Xia family watched, although they felt extremely upset, they didn't dare to say anything.

"Everyone, today is the [-]th birthday of the old man of the Xia clan. Our Xia clan's glory in the past few decades is all due to the old man's hard work and great talent. Let us first wish the old man good luck like the East China Sea, and a long life like heaven!"

Before the banquet, the master of ceremonies came to the stage to speak first, and then everyone began to applaud.

There was thunderous applause.

The master of ceremonies waved his hand, motioning everyone to be quiet first, and then said: "Before the banquet, let's celebrate the old man's birthday first."

"Father, I know that you like to play with small things that are old. This is a snuff bottle that my child specially asked someone to find for you. It is an authentic Yue kiln. You like it."

The first person to present a birthday present was naturally the Patriarch Xia Shaoshang.

"You have a heart."

The old man took it and nodded.

Then it was the turn of the second and third generations of the Xia family.

The gifts are all exquisite objects such as antique calligraphy and paintings. They don't look very unusual, but they are all valuable and have cultural heritage.

Then it was the turn of the third generation of the Xia family, and the gifts were a little more casual. They were all auspicious objects. When it was Xia Wanrong's turn, he took out a rolled copybook and walked to Xia Longtu. , bowed: "Grandpa, grandson first wish you a long life in Nanshan and great blessings in the sky."

"Knowing that your favorite is copybooks, grandson, I bit the bullet and made a fool of myself. I copied a cursive script and gave it to you, grandpa."

Xia Longtu became interested, "Wan Rong, you've put your heart into it, open it for Grandpa to see."

Xia Wanrong nodded, spread out the copybook, and displayed it in front of everyone: "I'm afraid the word grandson won't catch your old eyes."

He said so on the lips, but the eyebrows were extremely proud, obviously he was extremely confident in his calligraphy.

Xia Longtu took the copybook, inspected it, and his gaze immediately focused: "Wan Rong, your copybook is a copy of Zhang Xu and Zhang Bogao's "Four Posts of Ancient Poems". Zhang Bogao has a seven-point charm, which is really rare, at a young age, he has everyone's demeanor, yes, yes, grandpa likes your gift very much."

This was the first time the old man praised the gift he received today, and he immediately compared everyone.

"Grandpa's praise."

Xia Wanrong was humble again.

But the confidence between his brows is still ready to come out.

He does have the capital to be proud of.

Zhang Xu, Zhang Bogao, is known as the sage of grass. His calligraphy is astonishing in the past and the present. He is also known as the three wonders of the prosperous Tang Dynasty together with Li Bai's poems and Pei Fei's sword.

Zhang Xu's Wild Grass has its own lineage and is extremely difficult to imitate.

At a young age, Xia Wanrong can get Zhang Xu's seven-point charm, and he can already be called a generation of masters.

The other three generations of the Xia family were a little jealous when they saw that Xia Wanrong could please the old man so much.

For the three generations of the Su family, the more they can please the old man, the higher their status in the family and the more they will be valued by the elders.

This involves their vital interests.

At this moment, Xia Wanrong looked at Xia Shiqing and said with a slight smile, "Sister Shiqing, grandpa loves you the most. There are three generations of our Xia family, and you are the one who pleases grandpa the most when you are young. I don't know if you What gift did you prepare for grandpa today? Presumably, as soon as you bring it out, you will compare me to my cousin."

He was speaking in a completely sarcastic tone.

But even an outsider like Lu Chen could tell that there was clearly a blade hidden in his words.

"Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It seems that the Xia family's direct lineage and collateral lineages are also fighting extremely fiercely."

Lu Chen thought secretly.

A little worried for Xia Shiqing.

He knew it, because something happened before the two came, and Xia Shiqing forgot to prepare a gift for the old man.

In this way, how could she get off the stage?

Don't be labeled as disobedient.

Sure enough, Xia Shiqing's face turned pale when she heard the words, she stood up, and said with great guilt: "Grandpa, I'm sorry... I was going to buy you a gift before going home today, but something happened to me... forgotten……"

She said, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and get in.

"Shiqing, can't you... Can you forget such an important thing as grandpa's birthday gift? You have to know that grandpa loves you the most."

Xia Wanrong said very surprised and sad.

My heart is happy.

In this way, Xia Shiqing's status in the old man's heart will definitely plummet.

"Sister Shiqing, how can you be so ignorant..."

Xia Linglong also blamed.

"Shiqing, you are too nonsense!"

Xia Shaoshang also snorted coldly, obviously very angry.

On such an occasion, Xia Shiqing couldn't get off the stage, so how could he get off the stage?

For a while, Xia Shiqing became the target of public criticism and was placed on the edge of the cliff.

At this time, a gentle voice sounded: "Everyone, don't be so busy blaming Shiqing, she only spoke half of what she said. She didn't prepare a gift, that's because I prepared it for her, after all, today is me It's the first time for the eldest son-in-law to come to Xia's house to pay respects to the old man, Shiqing is considerate of me and gave me face, and took the initiative to let me give me such an important matter as giving gifts."
