Chapter 417 Yang Chengchen's Generous Move
Seeing that their mother had really decided to go, Zhao Houjing and the others immediately surrounded Yang Chengchen and asked about the restaurant's dishes. They were now extremely curious about what kind of restaurant dared to sell such expensive food.
Yang Chengchen first answered their questions one by one, and then ordered someone to bring up the things he had prepared long ago.
Yang Chengchen personally handed the two small boxes to Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming, "Congratulations, eldest cousin, congratulations, second cousin, this is a gift from me to you two."
Zhao Houming was quite happy holding the gift from his little cousin. It was very meaningful for someone to prepare a gift in advance.
He held the box and asked happily, "Thank you, cousin. Can I open it and take a look?"
"Sure! Open it and see if you like it. If not, I'll give you two more." Although Yang Chengchen said this, he was still very confident about the gift he gave.
When Zhao Houming heard his cousin's agreement, he immediately opened it and saw a crystal clear jade pendant inside. Although it was not green, it was very transparent.
Even Zhao Houming, who had seen good things before, was stunned by the reflection of the jade pendant.
Zhao Houyang, who was curiously craning his head to watch, was even more surprised and exclaimed, "Wow, my cousin is really generous!"
Zhao Houyang looked at Yang Chengchen with a gleam in his eyes, 'You are such a rich guy'.
Zhao Houyang turned his attention to his eldest brother, Zhao Houjing, and said, "Brother, take a look at yours."
Seeing Zhao Houyang jumping up and down, Zhao Houjing curiously opened his box and saw the same jade pendant lying inside as the one in Zhao Houyang's box.
"Cousin, this is too expensive, right?" Zhao Houjing felt that it was a little hot in his hand and he was embarrassed to accept it.
Yang Chengchen waved his hand nonchalantly. To him, this was nothing. "It's actually not that bad. It's not as expensive as emerald green or dark green, but it's rare."
While Zhao Houjing was still hesitating, Zhao Lingmeng spoke up, "This is a gift from my cousin, so you two should keep it!"
"Aunt is more generous." After praising Zhao Lingmeng, Yang Chengchen took another box from his follower and placed it in front of Zhao Lingmeng with a smile.
"Aunt, is this a gift from me to you?"
Zhao Lingmeng didn't reach out to open it immediately. Instead, she asked in surprise, "I have one too?"
Yang Chengchen nodded vigorously immediately, "Aunt raised my eldest cousin and second cousin, such outstanding sons, how could she not have gifts!"
Zhao Houjing and the other two who hadn't prepared any gifts for their mother were cursing in their hearts, but they still had to smile and agree with Yang Chengchen's words.
Zhao Lingmeng thought that the child really wanted to give it to her, so she didn't refuse and reached out to open the box. She thought to herself that she could give Chen'er good things when she had them in the future, so she didn't have to calculate it so clearly.
The three Zhao Houjing brothers were also curious. As soon as Zhao Lingmeng opened the box, three more heads immediately appeared around him.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the three of them with amusement, and did not argue with them, letting them take a look first. When Zhao Houjing and the other two saw what was inside the box, they all gasped.
"Wow, it looks so beautiful!" Zhao Houyang looked like he had never seen the world before.
Zhao Houming was obviously stubborn and only gave a perfunctory compliment, "It's really pretty!"
Zhao Houjing's words were quite pertinent, "Mom will definitely like it!"
Zhao Ling dreamed of the three of them like this, and curiously took a look at it. At first glance, she fell in love with it.
Inside the box was a crystal clear jade bracelet, which must have been made from the same piece of jade as the jade pendants worn by Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming. But this bracelet was clearly the best part of the jade.
Zhao Lingmeng couldn't wait to ask Qiuyue to put the bracelet on her. She raised her hand and shook it in the sunlight, and she liked it very much.
"I like it very much, thank you Chen'er." Zhao Lingmeng was not pretentious, she just liked it.
Zhao Lingmeng said this, Yang Chengchen felt a little embarrassed, and touched his head innocently, "Hehe, as long as Auntie likes it."
After Yang Chengchen finished speaking, he took out a jade ring from his pocket, took Zhao Houyang's hand, and put it on him. Zhao Houyang could tell at a glance that it was probably made of the same material as the previous one, and it was also crystal clear.
"Me too?" This made Zhao Houyang very surprised. He really didn't expect that he had it too.
Yang Chengchen raised his own hand and shook it, only to see that he also had a similar jade ring on his thumb. "We all have one, but our eldest and second cousins are the protagonists today, so we won't steal their limelight."
Yang Chengchen subconsciously ignored the fact that the bracelet he gave to his aunt was better.
Zhao Houyang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He had it too, so he was very happy and said thank you crisply: "Thank you, cousin!"
After Zhao Houyang finished speaking, he kept turning the jade ring in his hand. Anyone could see that he liked it.
Seeing Zhao Houyang like this, Zhao Houjing deliberately sabotaged him, "Third brother, even your cousin has prepared gifts for me and your second brother, where is your gift?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Houyang angrily glared at his elder brother, who was spoiling the mood. After that, he happily ordered the servants around him to bring his things up.
However, with the naked eye, it can be seen that what Zhao Houyang prepared should be two pieces of calligraphy and paintings.
Zhao Houyang ordered someone to place the two boxes directly on the table in front of him. "Big brother, second brother, you two can choose one by yourselves. It all depends on luck. This way, you two can't accuse me of being partial to anyone."
After Zhao Houyang finished speaking, he glared at his elder brother Zhao Houjing, almost saying, "Look, you've wronged me."
Zhao Houjing looked at his third brother's angry look, but he was not angry. Instead, he happily stepped forward and challenged him first.
"Second brother, then I will choose first?"
Zhao Houming nodded, "Brother, choose!"
These were originally placed in the box. To be honest, there was nothing to choose from. It all depended on luck.
Zhao Houjing casually picked up the box closest to him and said, "I've picked it out!"
Zhao Houming also happily went to get another box.
Now it was Yang Chengchen's turn to stir up trouble, "Cousin, cousin, open it and take a look!"
Zhao Houming held the box, looked at his eldest brother Zhao Houjing, and suggested: "Let's open it together!"
Zhao Houjing nodded and followed Zhao Houming to open the box. They both carefully took out the calligraphy and paintings in the box and opened them.
Zhao Houjing was holding a landscape painting, a simple one, but with a beautiful artistic conception. Zhao Houming was holding a fishing painting, with very delicate lines.
The most important thing was the seal, the seal of Xiaoyao Sanren. It was the seal of a literary giant from the previous dynasty. It was priceless.
"Is this an authentic work?" Yang Chengchen was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly.
