(Sorry, today's chapter update is too late. I went out for a walk with my wife today, and I was so tired...)

Youliang was the eldest son of the third generation of the You family, and the son of Youjia’s uncle You Chaogui, so he started to present a birthday gift to Mr. You on behalf of their house.

What Youliang held in both hands was a sandalwood box with a simple shape and countless exquisite patterns. In a vague way, there was a faint, refreshing fragrance floating out of the sandalwood box.

Although Mr. You is old, his eyes are still sharp. He can see at first glance that this sandalwood box is a valuable antique. Looking at You Liang's posture of holding it, it is obvious that there is another mystery in this sandalwood box. This undoubtedly aroused Mr. You's curiosity. He couldn't wait to know that this sandalwood box is already valuable, so what kind of treasure should it be hidden in it?

You Liang walked up slowly and carefully placed the quaint sandalwood box on the table in front of Mr. You. Then he smiled slightly, raised his hand to press the brass lock on the sandalwood box. He heard a slight sound of "kick". This quaint sandalwood box was like a blooming flower, with all its walls spreading and stretching around, exposing the things contained in the sandalwood box to everyone.

Inside this sandalwood box is a purple clay teapot with a simple and elegant shape, and eight small and exquisite purple clay tea cups.

You Liang smiled and introduced: "Because I know that grandpa, you like to drink tea, my father specially commissioned Chen Yanzhou, the master of pot art, to carefully make such a pine crane longevity pot for you. I wish grandpa you are as blessed as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain."

"Purple clay pot? Good thing." Old Master You smiled so hard that he couldn't stop talking. He held the purple clay pot and rubbed it with his hands, and kept saying, "Okay, okay, it's rare that you have this filial piety. Knowing that I like drinking tea, I really feel happy that I have such a good gift for me."

Youjia's second uncle You Chaofu walked to You Chaogui and said softly: "Brother, yes, you actually invited Chen Yanzhou, the master of pot art, to make this purple clay teapot himself. Did it cost a lot of money?"

You Chaogui said proudly: "It's only a million yuan. In fact, the price is secondary. The key is that the old man likes it." Although the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is quite good, and there is no scene of infighting between rich brothers and sisters often played in TV series, it does not mean that they are not competing secretly. This birthday gift given to You Tianhai naturally became something they compete with each other.

While being proud, You Chaogui also asked his second brother: "What birthday gift have you prepared to give it to the old man?"

"You will know soon." You Chaofu smiled and did not answer directly, but kept it a secret.

At this moment, You Chaofu's son Juventus had already brought a magnificent box covered with gold and silver foil to Mr. You. After the servant put away the sandalwood box containing the pine crane sac pot on the desk, he placed the slightly heavy, magnificent box on the desk.

Mr. You joked: "What is this? It's so magnificent that I'm almost dazzling my eyes."

"Grandpa, my dad knows that you like antiques, so he went to Hong Kong last month to attend an antique auction and bought this gift for you. I hope you like it." Juventus said, and opened the magnificent box.

The way to open this box is not as exquisite as the one before. However, after opening the box and taking out the items inside, the entire living room was actually covered by a golden light.

This is a Maitreya Buddha made of pure gold. It exposes its chest and abdomen, laughing loudly. Its expression and expression on its face are truly vivid and make people sincerely admire it.

Juventus said: "This Maitreya Buddha made of pure gold was identified by experts as an antique from the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty. Later, it was spread overseas and was finally sold by my father from the Hong Kong auction. We gave it to my grandfather as a birthday gift, hoping that Grandpa, you can be as strong as it, and always smile."

"Not bad, really good, it's just a little extravagant." Mr. You also liked this pure gold Maitreya Buddha very much, but compared to the purple clay teapot before, his interest was a little less. This also made You Chaogui poke You Chaofu with his elbow like a rooster who had won the battle, and said proudly: "It seems that the old man likes my purple clay teapot more."

You Chaofu was a little depressed. He not only spent about two million yuan for this pure gold Maitreya Buddha, but also spent some effort and time. However, he did not expect that the ending would be like this. He glanced at the proud elder brother and said, "Don't be too proud. Neither the younger sister nor the third brother have given him a birthday gift yet. Perhaps their birthday gift will be more favored by the old man than your purple clay pot."

Just as the two brothers You Chaogui and You Chaofu were whispering, You Jia's sister You Chaolin had already walked to Mr. You with an oil painting. Originally, according to the tradition of the You family, this kind of gift-giving ceremony should have been brought by the grandchildren. However, because the sister-in-law's daughter You Qing was studying in the UK, You Chaolin came to present the gift to Mr. You in person.

You Chaolin's husband married into the You family, so their daughter did not follow her husband's surname, but her surname was You.

You Chaolin put the oil painting in her hand up in front of her and showed it to Mr. You, and said with a smile: "My grandpa, this oil painting was bought by You Qing in Europe and sent it to you. Because of her academic background, she couldn't ask for leave and rushed back from the UK to celebrate your birthday, so I asked me to present this birthday gift to you and wish you 'there is today every year and today every year'. How about it, Mr., your granddaughter is still quite filial, right?"

"Be filial and filial." Mr. You put on reading glasses hanging around his neck and carefully appreciated the oil painting.

When You Chaolin saw the old man looking carefully, she couldn't help but feel very happy and asked, "I heard from You Qing that this oil painting was painted by a British female painter named Josephine Wall. How about it? Old man, I am used to Chinese paintings. Do you still like this foreign thing?"

"This is a painting...a butterfly demon?" Old Master You pointed to the oil painting and said hesitantly.

This oil painting, called "The Elf by the Lake", is a Western mythological and legendary elves dancing on the water. The colors of the picture are bright and colorful, which is completely different from those of Chinese paintings. For this magical style of oil painting, Mr. You, who has a more traditional thinking, can't accept it for a while.

"It's pretty good, please put it away." Mr. You waved to the servant and signaled her to put away the oil painting.

You Chaolin didn't notice the old man's dislike. She smiled and said, "Old man, since you think it's good, let the servant hang it up. Um... I think it's pretty good to hang it in that position. What do you think?"

"Let's talk about it later." Mr. You replied without comment.

You Chaolin also noticed the old man’s true thoughts at this moment. She couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. The corner of her eyes happened to see her third brother, You Jia’s father, You Chaoxiang. She hurriedly said, “Hey, third brother, what about the birthday gift you prepared for the old man? Why didn’t you give it to the old man?”

You Chaoxiang turned his attention to Youjia. He should have prepared this birthday gift, but because of too many trivial matters, he forgot it and could only ask Youjia to give it to Youjia last week. I don’t know if Youjia can choose the birthday gift that the old man likes in this short week.

"It seems that this year I can only be compared by my elder brother, second brother and younger sister." You Chaoxiang said with regret in his heart.
