"The old lady is blessed with good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
"The old lady is in great shape."
"You look so young."
Although they were all mixed blessings, Pei Shu felt for the first time that there was no falsehood in these words: "Mr. Li's grandmother looks so young."
He doesn't look like he's eighty years old, but more like he's in his early fifties.
"Mr. Li started his business from scratch. I heard that the old lady used to like to dig wild vegetables from the ground to eat. Now there is her vegetable garden in this manor, and she takes care of it herself morning and night." Lin Su answered him softly.
Life lies in exercise, which, when combined with a reasonable and healthy diet, makes it easier to live longer. That is the vitality that comes from the bones and cannot be obtained by changing the appearance.
"I will definitely go jogging with you in the morning. I hope I can be half as young as this old lady by then." Pei Shu said with a smile.
Growing old together, what a beautiful phrase.
"Okay, I'll supervise you." Lin Su shook his hand and said with a smile.
The old lady sat in the main seat, and a bunch of her children and granddaughters came forward to congratulate her on her birthday. Even her eldest great-granddaughter already had a babbling little daughter.
The fair and tender little girl was carried in front of the old lady. When the old lady touched her with wrinkled hands, the little girl babbled and wanted to put the food into her mouth.
"You can't eat it, you can't eat it. Xinxin is so beautiful." The old lady said with a smile.
"Xinxin, call grandma quickly." The young mother said with a smile.
The little girl obviously couldn't speak very well and could only babble a few times, but she still caused a lot of fun in the room.
Five generations living under the same roof, even if one has experienced too much indifference in the business world, one still unconsciously yearns for such happiness.
After the family members celebrated the birthday, people who came to the birthday party also gave gifts.
When top stars do something, it is naturally extraordinary. Someone gave Pei Shu a jade bracelet. Pei Shu did not know how to identify it, but he was attracted by the crystal clear green that seemed to be dripping out. He knew it was very valuable without asking.
"This is called Dragon with Water Everywhere, and its market valuation is around three million." Lin Su whispered to him.
It takes time to get used to something. The more you see and the more you know, the more shocks you’ll get used to it.
Pei Shu knew what he meant and nodded slightly: "Yeah."
In addition to the jade bracelet, it was obvious that many people knew that the old lady liked to worship Buddha, and the gifts she gave her included Buddhist beads and Buddha statues. Pei Shu also realized that what was even more terrible than wearing the same clothes was having the same gifts, because when giving the same gifts, there would always be a comparison, and just by comparing them, anyone with a discerning eye could tell the good from the bad.
Besides the Buddha statue, what impressed Pei Shu the most was that someone had gifted her an entire opera troupe. "I heard the old lady loves opera. This troupe sings quite well. You can listen to them in your free time."
"Thank you for your trouble." The old lady laughed. "Thank you for your trouble."
Regardless of the value of the gifts, the old lady didn't get too excited. At fifty, one knows one's destiny. At eighty, maintaining a good attitude is more important than anything else. Pei Shu felt that she no longer cared too much about these external things. It was just this feeling...
Pei Shu looked at the man next to him. This man was obviously not much older than him, but he always gave him the same feeling.
If 06 knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him sternly: Don’t look at the host looking so young, he doesn’t even know how many times older he is than 70 years old, this is a very typical case of an old cow eating young grass.
"The next item is a painting of Guanyin of the South China Sea given by Mr. Lin of the Lin Group." The manager handed over the long brocade box.
Not all gifts need to be read out and reviewed. Those that can be reviewed by the old lady must have a particularly good relationship with Mr. Li.
There are top-quality jades and top-quality paintings, especially ancient paintings which are the most valuable. However, when the scroll was taken out, many people looked at Lin Su.
There is no other reason, because the scroll looks too new. No matter how well the ancient painting is maintained, it is impossible for it to be that new.
"Is this a painting Mr. Lin has just commissioned?"
"This famous Guanyin painting is kept in a museum. How can I just give it away to anyone?"
"But even if it was drawn by everyone, the gift still feels a little light."
When the painting was exhibited, Lin Su remained calm, but Pei Shu nervously grabbed his hand. If the gift was not given properly, it would be very likely to be considered as contempt and offend others.
It takes two people to unfold the scroll, and many people come to look at it when it is unfolding. When they see the life-size picture of Guanyin, even those who don't understand painting think that the painting of Guanyin is very good.
"This Bodhisattva Guanyin looks kind and benevolent. It's painted so beautifully," the old lady exclaimed.
Buddha has its own statues, which are quite different from ordinary paintings. Whether one can grasp the Buddha statues in them is a great test of the painter's skills.
"It's a good painting, grandma. You happen to be short of a picture of Guanyin. I'll hang this one up for you when I get back." Mr. Li said with a smile.
"Wild Geese Return." A junior looked at the two characters in the signature and said, "I've never heard of this master."
"Painting Guanyin is about sincerity; fame and reputation don't really matter," the old lady said. "I like this picture. Hang it up for me when you get home."
"Grandma Zeng is sincere, but the artist's skills are profound." A young man stood up and walked over, examining the painting carefully. "The brushwork is truly smooth, without a single pause. It's not a technique I'm familiar with. Grandma Zeng, could you lend me this painting so I can observe it for a few days?"
"If you want to see it, go to your great-grandmother's Buddhist temple," Mr. Li said. "Okay, put the painting away. Thank you, Mr. Lin."
"As long as the old lady likes it." Lin Su said with a smile.
"I like it. Good children, they are all good children." The old lady looked at Lin Su and smiled.
Even though some people were talking about it, Mr. Li and the old man obviously didn't feel it was perfunctory. Pei Shu breathed a sigh of relief when the painting was put away.
"So nervous?" Lin Su asked, grabbing his sweaty hand. "Even if he's not satisfied, he won't kick you out. Why are you so nervous?"
"I do believe in you, but others may not be able to tell the good from the bad." Pei Shu whispered, "I am worried about you."
He spoke so quietly and looked so worried that Lin Su couldn't help but press his head.
The birthday ceremony did not last too long. The old lady was obviously not interested in the young people's dance. Mr. Li arranged for her to get up and go to the auditorium built further inside to listen to the opera. Many people followed her, while others had their own things to discuss.
Mr. Li obviously didn't care much about what they were doing. He just wanted to create a lively atmosphere.
"I want to go to the theater. I haven't seen one in a long time." Pei Shu said with a smile.
The last time he attended an opera was when he was very young, and he always felt a bit nostalgic.
"I'll go with you." Lin Su said with his head down.
"Boss Lin, Boss Lin, I finally found you." A man in a suit came over and said, "Are you free here?"
