Chapter 1197 Birthday Party Continued

Bai Qiansong also glanced at his second brother with displeasure, even though he knew that his second brother had the highest position in the Bai family in recent years. He always dislikes his elder brother, and even feels a bit domineering. But today at my birthday party, saying such things was undoubtedly a bit much.

After all, those juniors and outsiders don’t know Yang Dongxu’s identity. Doesn’t he, Bai Changsong, know?

You know, but you still say such things, what do you want?

When he saw that Yang Dongxu's gift didn't work, he stepped on his eldest brother's face and rubbed it on the ground. Or are you still very peeping at Bai Qian's hands and want to slap the elder in the face in this way?

"It's a copybook. Bai Qian said that Uncle Bai likes to practice calligraphy. I happen to have a good copybook at home, but it would be a waste of money if I kept it anywhere, so I gave it to a knowledgeable person like Uncle Bai. It can be regarded as a sword given to a hero."

The expression on Yang Dongxu's face, although there was a slight pause because of Bai Changsong's untimely words. But the smile remained. As he spoke, he handed the long sandalwood box to Bai Qian.

As Bai Qian didn't have much expression on her face, Yang Dongxu opened the sandalwood box, took out the calligraphy and painting from it and opened it carefully.

Seeing how Yang Dongxu took out the scroll carefully and noticed the color of the paper, everyone stretched their necks out of curiosity. Bai Qiansong looked certain.

When Yang Dongxu slowly opened the scroll and saw the name on the scroll, Bai Qiansong couldn't help but be surprised: "This is "Dingwu Lanting Postscript Eight"."

"I don't know much about calligraphy, but I asked the old man at home. He said that Song Ke's calligraphy Xiaocao and Zhangcao were the best in the Song Dynasty. I don't know what Xiaocao and Zhangcao are, but I saw Song Ke in the study. I was too lazy to wrap it up as a birthday gift for Uncle Bai." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"How did this happen?" Bai Qiansong originally saw Yang Dongxu opening the gift on the spot and secretly blamed the young man for being too impulsive.

He thought that no matter what Yang Dongxu brought out, he would say he liked it and wanted to save his daughter's face. But when I saw Song Ke's calligraphy, I felt more than just like it, it was a huge surprise. But officially because the surprise was too big, he couldn't say that he liked it. Because this is really too valuable.

"I don't know how to read, so it would be a waste wherever I put it. Only if such a thing is placed in Uncle Bai's hands will it not be buried." Yang Dongxu did not fully open the scroll.

The paper of such an antique is now very brittle even though it has been reframed for protection. But this thing should be savored quietly, not opened and shown off in front of everyone.

So he didn't care about those old people with long necks who wanted to take a few more glances. After Yang Dongxu showed it to Bai Qiansong and other elders, he put the painting away and put it into the sandalwood box held by Bai Qian.

"No, this is too expensive." Seeing that Yang Dongxu really gave this calligraphy to him, Bai Qiansong quickly refused.

People who don't know Song Ke may just feel that this calligraphy is from the Song Dynasty and may be valuable. But as a person who likes words, how could he not know Song Ke. Those who know Song Ke will naturally know the value of Song Ke’s authentic works.

As a famous calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, he was one of the three Shens of the Three Song Dynasties. He even had ten friends with Gao Qi, and the poem called them the existence of ten talented people. The price of an authentic Song Ke painting is at least several million, let alone a masterpiece of this kind.

The evaluation that Xiaocao and Zhangcao are the best among their generation is not Song Ke's boast. It is the evaluation of Song Ke's characters by future generations, and it can surpass the existence of a generation. The value of such a work can be imagined.

So even if you use the most cliché money to measure the value of this painting, it's only tens of millions. It is not impossible to send tens of millions to the auction, tens of millions of birthday gifts. Still, he really liked copybooks that couldn't be measured by money, so Bai Qiansong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"It's just a single word, not as exaggerated as Uncle Bai said. As long as Uncle Bai likes it, nothing else matters."

After speaking, Yang Dongxu turned to Bai Qian and said, "Send Uncle Bai to the study."

"No, this is really..."

"Isn't it just a gift that you like? Dad, if you like it, just accept it." Bai Qian said.

She didn't understand the Chinese characters either, so when Yang Dongxu went back to pick out gifts. She just felt that this gift might be very valuable, but no matter how precious it was, it was nothing between her and Yang Dongxu.

So when I saw Yang Dongxu carefully selecting gifts, the value of the gifts was relatively high. She is more of a sweet person who is valued by Yang Dongxu.

But her father's reaction in front of her made her realize that the value of this gift seemed to exceed her previous estimate. And my father really likes it.

But she still doesn't care if the value is too high, as long as her father likes it. Of course, Yang Dongxu gave her such a gift, which definitely made her feel sweeter.

"That gift seems valuable."

"Nonsense, isn't it worth it that a hundred-year-old house would have such a big reaction?"

"It seems to be the word for Song Ke from the Song Dynasty, Dingwulan or something? Does anyone know what it means?"

"I have a buddy who plays calligraphy and painting. Please help me block him while I call to ask."

The originally quiet surroundings were now buzzing with whispers.

Bai Changsong, who originally hinted that he wanted to see the gift from Yang Dongxu, couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, and he didn't know the word very well. But looking at his elder brother's appearance, and Yang Dongxu who didn't show any strange expression on his face.

He knew that this gift must be very valuable, so what he said subconsciously and impulsively was a bit like shooting himself in the foot.

Bessie went upstairs and delivered the gift to her father's study without waiting for her father to refuse.

However, before Bai Xi went upstairs, the guard at the gate of the villa area called and said that the Bai family had a guest coming in. Asked if it was a guest of the Bai family, it would be better to go and pick him up.

After all, the people who can live in this villa area are either rich or noble, and there are also several retired old leaders. Although the guard knew that Bai Qiansong of the Bai family had a birthday today. But without the verification of the Bai family, he couldn't let anyone in casually.

"There are still guests?" Bai Qiansong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked around the living room. It seemed that those who could come and those who couldn't come had come.

After all, it was a family dinner, and Bai Qiansong basically knew everyone who came, and didn't feel that anyone was missing.

"The person who came is Li Yihang, and it seems that there is more than one." The housekeeper saw the confusion on his master's face and said quickly.

"I'll go pick him up." Yang Dongxu laughed.

Obviously, Li Yihang and his men came here for him. If he didn't come in person today. It is estimated that a few people would at most give a gift to show their appreciation, and it is impossible for them to come in person.

It's not that they would also follow the order even though the Bai family has declined, but without the relationship with Yang Dongxu, they are really not familiar with Bai Xi. They are even less familiar with the Bai family, and they didn't come to celebrate Bai Qiansong's birthday.

"You are a guest, how can a guest go to pick up a guest? Let Bai An go, where is Bai An?" Bai Xi said.

So Bai An, who was pulled into the kitchen by Su Jingrou and sulked, was called out again to pick up someone at the door. He was originally sulking and his face was not good.

He was even more reluctant to hear that he had to go to the door to pick someone up. If Bai Xi hadn't called him personally, he would probably have thrown the chain directly. But when he heard that the person to be picked up was Li Yihang and others, Bai An secretly glanced at Yang Dongxu who was chatting with his father.

Then his face looked better and he walked out.

"Jingrou, go too." Bai Xi said when she saw Su Jingrou and Bai An coming out together.

"Okay, sister Bai Xi." Su Jingrou nodded and went out with Bai An.

"Who is that guest?" Su Jingrou was not very familiar with the Bai family, but she knew that Mr. Bai was very powerful before. Now that Mr. Bai has passed away, the Bai family has declined, but it is still more powerful than her family.

And the guests who came before were basically reported, and the housekeepers went to pick them up. Now she and Bai'an were asked to pick them up together, so the identity of the guest was obviously not simple.

"Yang is my sister's business partner." Bai'an said.

Although he still looks like a child who has not grown up, he seems very naive in everything he does. But people have shame, and obviously he doesn't want to say too much about Yang Dongxu. Even if this is a bit of a cover-up, his fiancée will definitely know it later.

"In addition to being partners in some of my sister's businesses, their identities are not simple. For example, Li Yihang, the manor where I took you to ride horses outside Yanjing City two days ago is his. In addition to that, he has other businesses that are not small."

Although he didn't want to talk about Yang Dongxu, Bai'an still reminded Su Jingrou.

"I have heard of Li Yihang. It is said that this person is very capable. His family fell into poverty before, but later he worked hard to get back on his feet and became a billionaire.

And he has a wide network of contacts in Yanjing. Many people of status in Yanjing often visit his manor. It is said that some wealthy people from other places and Hong Kong businessmen go to him to find connections when they come to Yanjing for business."

Bai'an's suggestion made Su Jingrou feel the other party's care under the willfulness, so she couldn't help but chat a few more words. After all, this place is a distance from the gate, and the two of them can't keep silent all the time.

"Bullshit ability, otherwise." Bai'an snorted coldly, but he didn't know what to say after opening his mouth. So he stuttered and said, "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Just be basically polite to him, and don't be too polite."

"Oh." Su Jingrou heard the strangeness in Bai'an's words, although she was very curious. But she was smart and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Bai'an and Su Jingrou brought people in, which was similar to what Yang Dongxu thought. Not only Li Yihang came, Qian Liang and Lan Lan in Yanjing also came.

Bai Feng, who had not been in public for a long time and was nursing her child at home, came with her husband Wei Fei.

In addition to coming by themselves, they also brought gifts to Zhu Hengyi and others.

In fact, even if Yang Dongxu did not come today, Li Yihang and others would send gifts because he and Bai Qian were shareholders of the same company. However, except for Bai Feng, a sister who had a good relationship with Bai Qian, Li Yihang would definitely send gifts, but it was not certain whether he would come or not.

It is very likely that he was like Zhu Hengyi and others, and asked someone to bring a gift to express his feelings.

After all, no matter how good Bai Qian is with Yang Dongxu, she is not Zhou Ya, and no matter how good their relationship with Yang Dongxu is. They are all well-known people, so it is enough to send gifts to express their feelings. There is no reason to lose their face to help the Bai family.
