Chapter 1125: Chapter 1128: Delivering a Greeting Gift, A Slap in the Face (2) (Extra 2) Chapter 1125: Chapter 1128: Delivering a Greeting Gift, A Slap in the Face (2) (Extra 2) Lily said this and then walked gracefully to the cabinet by the door of the study room, carrying over the several gift boxes she had brought.
When she had followed Larry Scott through the door earlier, she had casually placed the gifts there.
Originally, she had intended to leave them quietly for the old man to appreciate in private.
But now, since someone looked down on her, she naturally wanted to show them that she really didn't value that small so-called top-grade jade token.
Lily had brought a total of five gift boxes.
Three of them were chosen from Aidan Lucas's collection, and the other two were her own, sent over by Sadie overnight.
Because they were gifts for Mr. Scott, she picked all the items that were favored by elders.
She had put quite some effort into it.
Tania Scott, who was sitting on the side, initially wore a look of disdain.
But as Lily arranged those five boxes on the table and opened them one after another,
the scorn on Tania's face quickly turned into disbelief and shock.
“Putuo Jade Buddha,” “Wutai Stone Buddha,” “Emei Golden Buddha,” “Jiuhua Holy Buddha”!
When the first four gift boxes were opened, the sculptures of the four great Bodhisattvas were enough to almost make Mr. Scott and Tania's eyes pop out.
When the last gift box was opened,
a simple and square, uniquely colored bowl with a hint of blue, yet appearing quite ordinary, was displayed within.
This time, even Mr. Scott couldn't help but be greatly startled.
“The Ru Kiln blue bowl with an inscription by the king himself, this…this…”
There were only two of these bowls in total, national treasures indeed.
One was in the National Museum, serving as the treasure of the establishment.
The other was acquired at an auction in Y Country by an anonymous high bidder.
At that time, the incident had caused quite an uproar in Eastonia and almost led to a diplomatic dispute.
“Great-grandfather, these five items are the gifts I prepared for our meeting. These four Bodhisattvas will grant you longevity and good health. As for this Ru Kiln small bowl, I heard from uncle that you enjoy collecting Ru ware, so I specifically brought it for you.”
Not to mention this national treasure, the Ru Kiln blue bowl, even any one of the other four Bodhisattvas was more than a hundred times the value of the jade token around Tania's neck.
Let alone that there was not one, but four.
When it comes to collectibles, it's all about the value of the collection.
The four Bodhisattvas represent the four major Buddhist holy sites of Eastonia, indispensible as a set.
Not even Aidan Lucas, let alone Lily, had managed to collect all four Bodhisattvas initially.
But as fate would have it, the Reddington family had one, and Aidan Lucas had the other three.
Lily put them together, and now they made a complete set.
As for that Ru Kiln small bowl, it had been acquired by Duke Redington at an auction in Y Country a few years back.
Right now, Tania's face was the picture of someone who had swallowed something disgusting.
Just now, she had mocked Lily for being shallow, but it turned out she was the one who was truly shallow.
After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Scott family, the apple of their eye, and she had never been humiliated in such a way.
Tania Scott was always dignified and composed in public, but now, at home in front of her family, she couldn't help but reveal her spoiled and willful side.
She couldn't resist arguing, “Hmph, that sounds good, but who knows if this Ru ware is genuine. There are only a few dozens of authentic Ru ware pieces in the whole world, and you just happened to have one inscribed by the king, which might as well be a forgery.”
“And those Bodhisattvas, one is already rare, let alone four.”
With that, Tania turned to Mr. Scott and cooed, “Grandpa, don't be fooled by others. If you really accept it, and your friends find out later, they'll laugh at you for being duped!”
