This birthday peach was to be placed in the center of the banquet, to serve as a grand display. However, the Lu family's strength had declined recently, and they had been timid in every aspect, unable to achieve the same grandeur they once did.
But from the change from 24K to 18K, we can still see that this family is trying hard to regain the last bit of glory before the family's decline.
Lu Qingxuan waved her hand and said, "Carry it down."
Su Yeqing clapped his hands, and the people below brought over another tray with several things on it. These were all small items prepared to be given to Old Master Lu. The Lu family asked Lu Qingxuan to do the final approval for them.
Lu Qingxuan glanced at Chen Ya and said, "Do you want to come over and help? You're just sitting there looking dazed."
Chen Ya glanced at her sideways and said, "There's no room over there. How about I squeeze in with Boss Su? I'll go over if you agree."
Su Yeqing smiled brightly, and as soon as he moved his butt, many seats became empty: "Okay, come over here, I'll squeeze in with you."
Chen Ya stood up and, under Lu Qingxuan's surprised gaze, strode to Su Yeqing and sat down next to her.
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze filled his nose, and the touch of Su Yeqing's soft body came over. In his posture, Su Yeqing seemed to be almost sitting in his arms.
However, this benefit only lasted for half a second. Lu Qingxuan reached out and pulled Su Yeqing and said, "Come on, Boss Su, let's squeeze in together."
Su Yeqing stood up lightly and sat next to Lu Qingxuan in the blink of an eye. The two girls huddled together, laughing and talking happily.
Chen Ya had long seen that Lu Qingxuan was deliberately testing him today. Although he didn't know whether it was her own idea or the grandmother's order, Chen Ya hated having his secrets known to others.
So he deliberately acted wild, squinting his eyes and said, "It's really comfortable to have someone help warm the stool."
Lu Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him angrily. Su Yeqing, however, covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, saying, "How was it? Was my service very considerate?"
Lu Qingxuan placed the tray in front of Chen Ya and said, "Guess how much these things cost?"
Chen Ya looked at the tray, which contained all sorts of things, including a red agate bracelet, a small green ice jade gourd, a jasper bat, and a copper cup.
Chen Ya took a look at the items on it and said, "I don't understand these cultural relics."
He wasn't lying, he just didn't understand.
Lu Qingxuan pointed at one of the objects and said, "Just guess. How much do you think this little gourd is worth?"
Chen Ya took a look at the gourd. The jade was translucent throughout, and the gourd, including the vines and leaves, was made to look lifelike.
"One or two hundred million?" Chen Ya asked tentatively.
"Guess carefully." Lu Qingxuan said unhappily.
"I think it will cost at least 300,000." Chen Ya said lazily.
"300,000? Haha, Boss Su, what do you say? He can only see that this thing is at this price range, and the price you offer is not worth it."
Su Yeqing frowned and smiled: "Miss Lu, you are really making fun of me. If this thing is really priced at 300,000, my shop will be trampled by people tomorrow, and they will turn it upside down to see if there is still a 300,000 jade gourd."
Lu Qingxuan turned to Chen Ya and said proudly, "The original price was 680,000, more than double what you said."
Chen Ya asked, "Who wants to send this gift?"
"We are of the same generation." Lu Qingxuan put the jade gourd back. "Younger generations should buy cheaper ones, and rich people should buy more expensive ones. Giving gifts is about the thought. Like those novels where you give me a hundred-year-old ginseng and I give you a thousand-year-old ginseng king, that's all fake."
Chen Ya said: "You should have told me earlier."
He was thinking of the Patek Philippe watch he bought for 7 million.
It was a loss.
He had no idea about these aristocratic families and no concept of money, so he bought it at a high price.
Lu Qingxuan looked at his expression, not knowing that he was regretting the expensive gift, but thinking that she had finally let him down, so she smiled.
Su Yeqing's eyes kept moving back and forth between the two of them, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Ya pointed at the strangest-looking copper cup on the tray and asked:
"What's this?"
"Hey, this is interesting." Lu Qingxuan said, "Guess what it is for?"
"I stepped on it because it was a monster collector. Anyone who called out their name would be sucked in."
Chen Ya picked up the bronze bell and said to Boss Su behind him, "Boss Su, I'm going to call you by your name. Do you dare to answer?"
Su Yeqing said with a smile: "I dare."
"Boss Su."
"Why!"
"It doesn't work," Chen Ya said, looking at the copper cup. "Maybe it's broken."
Su Yeqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not broken. Even if it is broken, we can replace it for you in the store."
Chen Ya looked up at her and said, "I know, because I didn't call her the right name. What is Boss Su's name?"
Boss Su laughed even more happily, covering his mouth with the back of his hand, laughing so hard that his body shook, as if nothing in the world was funnier than what Chen Ya said.
"My name is Su Yeqing."
After a long time, she stopped smiling, sat up straight and answered seriously.
"Ahem." Lu Qingxuan cleared her throat again and took the copper cup from Chen Ya's hand.
"Stop playing. This cup isn't important. What's important is the object inside."
She opened the copper bowl and picked it up with a stick. A cricket with a green body jumped out of it and landed on the edge of the bowl. It started to squeak and didn't run around.
"This sky-blue glasswing is worth half a million dollars. It's a rare sight in winter. It's said that listening to its sound can help you fall asleep."
