Chapter 282 - Young Master Ye's Jade Kitchen

The night gradually turned dark, and the dinner party did not waver.

Everyone greeted him in accordance with the rules, eating, drinking, and chatting according to the rules. Until the end of the banquet, the people started to scramble to stand up and give the old man, Su Wenlong, some red packets as gifts.

After all, the old man Su Wenlong had just recovered from his severe illness and even went to great lengths to hold a banquet. Thus, all the guests were still interested. However, this custom was not like the river, there was also the habit of opening the door to take a look. No matter how expensive it was, everyone just laughed it off and didn't open the presents in front of all the guests.

"Right, is Xiao Yi not going to send us some?" Qin Yan smiled sweetly, looked at Xiao Yi and teased: "After all, you kidnapped the grandson of another."

After Xiao Yi completely chewed on the pig's elbow in front of him, he raised his head and vaguely said, "I didn't prepare any gift, and he didn't even notify me that I still need another one. I'm here to eat and drink."

After hearing Xiao Yi's lazy words, Su Meiran immediately laughed helplessly.

However, Qin Yan took out an exquisite jade box from her pocket. The box was small and square, but it looked crystal clear. The jade box was still letting out faint traces of green light. Being held by Qin Yan's slender fingers, no matter how he looked at it, she was definitely not ordinary.

"Is this jade box Xinjiang's goat fat white jade?" Xiao Yi's eyes lit up as he spoke quickly.

With regards to these antique jade stones, Xiao Yi had some insight. The unscrupulous master on his mountain often liked to play with these strange things when he had nothing better to do. Therefore, Xiao Yi had followed the unscrupulous master and gained some knowledge of these things.

"Mmm, you know what's good for you." Qin Yan nodded her head, and then stuffed the jade case into Xiao Yi's hands, saying with a smile: "My mother said that I should come over, and that I shouldn't let my family lose face. So, prepare a little gift for me, let me send it up later. I dare you to abduct Big Sister Mei Ran from now on. Now, it was more or less meaningful. I might as well give this favor to you. Take it and send it up. "

"Your family is really generous." Xiao Yi held onto the jade box in his hand, and gently smiled: "However, I thank you for your good will."

Qin Yan coldly snorted and retorted, "Anyway, it's not like you're going to spend my money."

However, the four bodyguards beside Qin Yan all frowned. One of them quickly opened his mouth and said, "Young mistress, this …"

"Chatterbox, like a woman." Qin Yan raised her head to look at the man who spoke, and spoke lazily, "Since you are unhappy, I shall command you. Find something valuable on you and send it up. Remember, don't embarrass our Qin family. "

Immediately, the man's face turned green. Then, after searching his entire body for a long time, he finally took out the white jade thumb ring and held it in his hand, preparing to present it. However, no matter how much it hurt, it still seemed unwilling.

Xiao Yi did not open the jade box that Qin Yan had given him. He did a favor by bowing to the water and eagerly ran up the stage to give the old man Su Wenlong that present.

This scene, of Xiao Yi gifting a gift, just happened to fall into Ye Liuyun's eyes. Suddenly, his thin lips revealed a trace of a mocking smile. Then, he suddenly clapped his hands, stood up, and said in a clear voice: "Old Master Rice, I, Ye Liuyun, dare to propose to you today, and marry Mei Ran to me."

The sound was sonorous and forceful, as if a bomb had exploded in the hall. Everyone raised their heads, flabbergasted, to look at Ye Liuyun, who had a dignified and talented appearance.

"This... "Old Gramps Su Wenlong pretended to be helpless and looked towards Su Meiran's table.

Xiao Yi, who had just sat down at the table, immediately raised his eyebrows. He could smell the strong scent of gunpowder. When he was about to stand up, Su Meiran took the initiative to stand up, and smiled charmingly: "Young Master Ye, I might fail to live up to your good intentions. I already have a boyfriend, and he's the Sir Xiao Yi by my side. "

Su Meiran's intense reaction caused the air in the hall to freeze once again.

For a moment, the corners of everyone's lips curled up into an indescribable smile. The look in his eyes became complicated as he muttered to himself, "The story of a toad and a dragon is truly interesting."

When everyone looked at Xiao Yi's dirty face and that skinny figure, he looked like he was suffering from malnutrition. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a toad. On the other hand, Ye Liuyun was a dragon amongst men. With a single glance, he looked forward to it.

"Mei Ran." The corners of Ye Liuyun's lips curled up slightly as he spoke with complete confidence, "Your boyfriend doesn't make any decisions. The things that I, Ye Liuyun, have decided on, the girlfriend, will inevitably be mine. Today, taking advantage of the fact that my uncles are all in the capital, I want you to know when you see them. Sitting next to you is a toad that has been eyeing you. Your real name is Son of Heaven, here. "

As he spoke, Ye Liuyun pointed to his chest. The light from the hall hit his face, making him look even more handsome. These words were filled with a heroic spirit.

Any woman would be enchanted by such a man. However, traces of disgust emerged on Su Meiran's beautiful face. Just as she was about to use all of her strength to refute the other party, Xiao Yi suddenly started to fight in a leisurely manner without the slightest forewarning, and lazily said: "Alright. If you have any tricks up your sleeves, just use them. I'll take them. "

After a pause, Xiao Yi's eyes finally narrowed. A bright light flashed in those long and narrow eyes as his voice rose up like a sharp blade and stabbed into the hearts of everyone present, "I'm afraid that you, Ye Liuyun, don't have that kind of ability. Today, I will make all the top business people in the capital believe that the dragon is the real one and the toad is the real one. And who exactly is Mei Ran's chosen one? "

Xiao Yi was not afraid at all, his voice was overbearing and sonorous, piercing through the clouds.

In an instant, it caused everyone in the hall to raise their eyebrows slightly. His eyes revealed traces of praise. Relying on Xiao Yi's courage, it was enough to subdue the admiration of these famous people in the capital.

"Very good, I like it." Ye Liuyun clapped his hands and sneered, "You're only interesting if you're like a man."

Following which, Ye Liuyun walked over to the old man Su Wenlong's side. He took out a jade box. It was sparkling and translucent, and similarly, it was a fine piece of fine jade made from mutton fat. He passed it to Su Wenlong and slowly said: "Today, I prepared a gift for the old man. This jade box is the best good jade. Inside, it was a rare treasure. I know that the lordmaster likes jade and jade artifacts. I've specially brought them all the way here for him, and I hope that he can be happy about them. "

"So, I have to open it and take a look." How could Su Wenlong not understand Ye Liuyun's meaning? He smiled lightly, received the jade box and gently opened it. Suddenly, a red jade token lying inside the box jumped into his eyes.

The jade scroll was long and had ancient beast tattoos carved onto it. It was dark red in color, like a flowing ball of fire. It was simple, but it gave off a distant feeling. This made the jade slip seem even more valuable.

Old Gramps Su Wenlong's only hobby over the years was indeed these antique jade artifacts. With regards to these things, he still had a good eye for them. After staring at it for a moment, his body shivered and he opened his mouth: "Liu Yun, is that the Yugui of Western Zhou that was unearthed?"

The mere four words of Yugui of Western Zhou caused everyone in the great hall to be stunned. The Western Zhou Dynasty was an ancient era. Back then, Yu Gui was of course worth an extraordinary amount. It was indeed known as a rare and precious item. Especially top-notch Yugui of Western Zhou s, they were rarely seen in the auction houses these years. Both at home and abroad, their value had already reached a sky-high level.

Ye Liuyun proudly nodded, and said loudly: "Of course. This piece of Yugui of Western Zhou, but I spent a lot of effort to buy it from abroad. As far as I know, Yuku was originally a gift of imperial sacrifice, and later became a symbol of power. Ministers hold it in their hands when they pay homage to the Son of Heaven, as a symbol of their status. I think that this is just right for Old Man Su, who likes to use jade. Firstly, he could play around with it. Secondly, it was also a symbol of one's identity. Moreover, this was a high quality Yugui of Western Zhou. After all these years, it was still intact. Even the ancient beast markings on it have clear veins. It's worth collecting. "

Although Ye Liuyun didn't specifically name the value of this jade token, he knew that it was worth it. However, everyone's eyes were burning with passion. Most likely, this jade token could match up to the lordmaster's huge villa.

Such a large sum, perhaps only the Ye and Qin families could afford it. Any random gift would be a priceless Yugui of Western Zhou.

After Su Wenlong heard Ye Liuyun's words, he carefully took out that piece of Yugui of Western Zhou from the box. He placed it on his palm and showed it to everyone. Furthermore, the hand which he used to hold the Yugui of Western Zhou began to tremble.

This kind of big situation, this kind of big occasion. Of course, there were experts. The old man Lu Zifang from the Beijing Antiquities Store was one of the more famous experts in the industry. He stood up immediately, walked to the side of the old man Su Wenlong and said, "Can, let me have a look?"

"Of course."

Immediately, Su Wenlong reluctantly handed over the piece of dark red Yugui of Western Zhou to the expert Elder Lu Zifang. With a head of white hair and a long beard, Lu Zifang picked up the piece of Yugui of Western Zhou. That old face was like a dead tree meeting spring. It suddenly became a hundred times more spirited. He took out a pair of knotted black glasses and put them on.

For a moment, the hall went silent. Only Elder Lu Zifang was looking at the Yugui of Western Zhou in his hand through the lens with his bright and spirited eyes. From time to time, sounds of 'tsk tsk tsk' could be heard coming from his mouth.
