Chapter 124 Gift 2
Seeing Tang Man like it so much, Xie Qian was also very happy. "Right! These are the jasmine flowers that mom picked. There is a patch of jasmine in grandpa's backyard. When it blooms, the whole yard will be filled with the fragrance of jasmine. Sister-in-law, when the jasmine flowers bloom next year, let's go pick jasmine flowers together."
"Okay." Tang Man nodded with a smile.
Everyone sat around the table and chatted for a while. Xie Yan took out two paintings from his backpack and handed them to Grandpa Xie. "Grandpa, Manman knows that you like paintings and calligraphy, so I found them especially for you."
Mr. Xie took the calligraphy and paintings with a smile, put them on the table, and opened one of them at random. A look of surprise immediately appeared on his smiling face, "This is a landscape painting by Tang Bohu."
Mr. Xie also knew that no matter whether the painting was real or fake, it was Tang Man's intention, and he shouldn't check it in front of Tang Man, but he still examined the scroll carefully because of excitement.
Mr. Xie, who was standing by, picked up the painting on the table and unfolded it, and immediately shouted excitedly, "This is a painting and calligraphy by Wang Xizhi."
Several old men immediately came over. Compared with Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings, they preferred Wang Xizhi's authentic works.
“Really, this is absolutely authentic.”
"Of course. Xiaoyan grew up looking at these calligraphy and paintings. He definitely can't make a mistake."
Mr. Xie didn't bother to continue admiring the landscape painting in his hand. He put the painting away, snatched the calligraphy and paintings from the hands of several old men, and rolled them up carefully. "This is a gift from my granddaughter-in-law. Don't try to take it."
"Old Third Brother, let's take a look." They looked at Old Master Xie excitedly and wanted to snatch the painting away, but Old Master Xie had already shouted towards the door, "Old Chen."
Uncle Chen came in immediately from outside the door. "Old man."
"Put the painting in the painting studio and put it on the table first. I will clean it up myself later."
"Okay." Uncle Chen responded and went out with the two paintings.
Second Master Xie glared at Old Master Xie with some displeasure, "Third Master, why are you so stingy? You won't even give me a look."
Mr. Xie snorted coldly, "The painting disappeared while I was looking at it. I know all your tricks."
"Hey! Great grandfather, second grandfather, fourth grandfather, fifth grandfather, Manman has also prepared gifts for you." Xie Yan took out a few boxes and placed them in front of the old men.
"Haha! Manman, why are you being so polite?"
"Yeah! Why spend this money?"
The old gentlemen spoke politely, but the moment they opened the box, their eyes widened and smiles almost overflowed from their faces.
Tang Man glanced at the gifts Xie Yan had chosen: a ring, a walnut, a Buddha statue carved from jade, and wooden beads. Hmm! They were probably made of wood, but as for what kind of wood they were made of, she didn't understand or recognize them.
It seems that Xie Yan knows the preferences of these old men in the family very well, and he bought them their favorite things. They all look very happy.
But when did he prepare all this?
This morning?
No way! How can I prepare so many things in just a few hours?
Although she didn't recognize any of these, the things that Xie Yan gave to the elders should all be good things.
"Where's mine?" Xie Qian saw that the elders all had gifts and reached out to Xie Yan.
Xie Yan took out another pink box and stuffed it into Xie Qian's hand, then took out two more sandalwood boxes and handed them to Xie Wenfeng, "Dad, these are for you and Mom."
Xie Wenfeng took the box with a smile and opened it. As soon as he opened the box, a faint fragrance wafted out of the box. It was a string of agarwood bracelets.
Xie Wenfeng happily took the box and opened the lid. A faint fragrance wafted out of the box and filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Looking closely, I saw a string of agarwood bracelets lying quietly in the box. The color of this agarwood bracelet is deep and restrained, and the texture is delicate and warm. Each bead is carefully selected, uniform in size, round and smooth.
He picked up the bracelet and put it on his wrist, the smile on his face became even more intense. "Thank you, Manman. Dad likes it very much."
"Sister-in-law, I also like the red jade bracelet you gave me." Xie Qian raised the red bracelet that she had already put on her wrist.
"Actually, that was prepared by Brother Yan for everyone. I..." Tang Man explained and lowered her head to open her shoulder bag.
"What both of you bought is the same." Old Master Xie interrupted Tang Man with a smile. Even without Tang Man saying anything, they knew that the only person who could come into contact with these things was Xie Yan. Tang Man was just a little girl, and there was no old antique like him in her family, so she would definitely not come into contact with these things.
Of course, this is not important. Whether it is the intention of the grandson or the granddaughter-in-law, it is very useful to everyone.
Tang Man took out a few glass bottles from her bag, picked up one and looked at the name written on it, then handed the glass bottle to Xie Wenfeng, "Dad, this is a pill I made myself to strengthen my body."
To be precise, this pill can nourish the kidneys, spleen, and liver. This is the kind of medicine that men of Xie Wenfeng's age need most.
As a doctor, she believed that the elixir she had chosen for Xie Wenfeng was definitely the one he needed most, but as a daughter-in-law, if she gave such a thing to her father-in-law, she would probably be scolded for being shameless behind his back.
Therefore, she did not intend to reveal the true effect of this bottle of medicine.
Xie Wenfeng picked up the small glass bottle and looked at the black Xiaoyao Pills inside. He felt a little dazed. His daughter-in-law should know what the Xie family does. It didn’t seem right to give him something like this!
Not to mention Xie Wenfeng, even Xie Yan was surprised, but he said nothing. His wife was capable, had many ideas, and was very smart. She must have her reasons for choosing this gift.
Tang Man picked out another glass bottle and placed it in front of Xie Wenfeng. "This bottle is specially prepared for mom. This bottle of beauty and skin care pills."
Then, Tang Man pushed the remaining glass bottles in front of several old men one by one and said, "Grandpas, these bottles of elixirs are longevity pills that I made using ten thousand year old Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng."
Mr. Xie didn't think there was anything wrong with Tang Man giving them these. Instead, he curiously opened a glass bottle and said, "Man Man can also make pills."
Tang Man smiled and replied, "Yeah! I read it from an ancient book I got occasionally."
"This medicine..." Mr. Xie was just curious at first, but the moment the glass bottle was opened, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. The fragrance immediately perked him up, and he excitedly put the glass bottle to his nose and sniffed it carefully.
When the others saw Mr. Xie's expression, they also opened the glass bottles in confusion and put them to their noses to sniff. Even Xie Yan couldn't help but unscrewed a glass bottle and sniffed it. Xie Qian was also curious, so after Xie Wenfeng smelled the glass bottle in his hand, she also took the glass bottle and sniffed it.
Mr. Xie looked at Tang Man with excitement, "Manman, did you really do all this yourself?"
The others also looked at Tang Man excitedly.
The thing that the Xie family had the most was medicine. Any child over ten years old in the family could make pills, but the pills that Tang Man gave them were completely different from the ones they made themselves.
This medicine has a strong fragrance, and just smelling it makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is definitely a good thing, and it is a good thing that no one in their Xie family can make.
