"This Zhao Family is indeed the Zhao Family. Look at the tableware on the table. Look carefully, it's crystal clear and shining, this is the best of the best, I heard from my friends that these are all specially provided to the leaders, because of the scarcity of raw materials, their production is limited every year, look here, there are a total of 70 tables, all of these are used in this kind of tableware, it's not something that can be done just because you have money! " Chen ShengLi exclaimed as he squatted beside Xu Taiping.
This Chen Shengli was forty years old, but he looked like he was in his early thirties. His clothes were very ordinary, and he squatted beside Xu Taiping like a peddler.
"This birthday feast, the Zhao Family has taken away all the best insects and plants in the Southwest region, that is truly terrifying!" The mild-mannered Li Chenghuan wearing glasses said.
"After all, this is China's Tian Clan. In the whole of China, no other family can surpass the Zhao Clan. Awesome!" Chen Shengli said.
"No matter how awesome, isn't that still eating and shit? It's all the same." Xu Taiping smiled as he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, then he divided the cigarettes between Chen Shengli and Li Chenghuan.
"Smoking is not allowed here." Chen Shengli said.
"No smoking?" Xu Taiping froze for a moment, then said, "No one told me."
"Old Master Zhao doesn't smoke, nor does he like the smell of smoke. Therefore, no one is allowed to smoke in the Zhao Family. This is a rule, you should keep the cigarette to avoid others seeing it." Chen Shengli said.
Xu Taiping hurriedly put away his cigarette. If he said that he wasn't allowed to smoke cigarettes, then Xu Taiping wouldn't smoke cigarettes no matter how strong his identity was. After all, it was just a matter of personal quality, and he couldn't possibly say that his identity was awesome, so he could spit on the spot and urinate on the spot, right?
The quality was still very important.
Xu Taiping sat there and waited for a long time, but he still didn't see the old man. He couldn't help but worry that Zhao Jin wouldn't be coming, right?
At this moment, Xu Taiping saw Jiang Hongtu bring a few men over to his side.
This time, Feng Xi wasn't by Jiang Hongtu's side. Although Xu Taiping had never seen the people who walked beside Jiang Hongtu before, he knew who they were.
"Ping Ping, look who I've brought over for you!" Jiang Hongtu said to Xu Taiping with a smile.
"Don't say it, let me guess." Xu Taiping smiled as he looked at the few people standing together with Jiang Hongtu. He then pointed at a stout man and said, "This must be Mister Tengguelai!"
"Hahaha, you guessed it right! I am Tengger!" The stocky man smiled and nodded.
"Then, this person should be Mister Jikki!" Xu Taiping pointed to a small man with a dark complexion.
"Well, I'm Gikki." The suntanned man nodded.
"Why isn't the other one here?" Xu Taiping asked curiously.
"That person didn't seem to be in the same group as us, so he didn't come with us!" Jiang Hongtu explained.
Xu Taiping nodded, then stood up and shook hands with Tengger and Jake.
"I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time and have never had the chance to see you again. This time, I've finally got such an opportunity. It's truly an honor!" Xu Taiping laughed.
"Hahaha, me too. I've long heard that a hero has appeared south of the Yangtze River. I've always wanted to meet you. I've really lost to Old Master Zhao this time!" Tengger laughed.
He could clearly feel that Tengger was a very optimistic and outspoken person. Even before he spoke, he would first laugh twice.
The other one, Jekyll, was a bit more low-key, barely speaking, only occasionally speaking a word or two.
The reason why Xu Taiping knew about these two people was very simple, because these two people, Tengguelai was the flag bearer of the black flag, and Jikiki was the flag bearer of the white flag. Xu Taiping's future goal was to capture the golden flag, so he knew about the other five flag bearers.
After a few simple chats, Jiang Hongtu and the others left.
Xu Taiping sat down next to Chen Shengli.
"If I was not mistaken, that Tengger, is he the Tengger who is known as the King of the Grasslands?" Chen Shengli asked Xu Taiping in a low voice.
"The King of the Grasslands? "I don't understand, but I know he's doing pretty well on the prairie." Xu Taiping said.
In the prairie, there is no one who doesn't know of him. Their property is spread throughout the entire prairie, and half of our cows are raised in his family's cattle farm. With a single word from him, he can control the price of milk in the entire country. Chen Shengli said.
"How do you know?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There's coal in the grassland too." Chen Shengli said.
"Makes sense!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized.
"The Gikki is the leader of a minority in the southwest." Li Chenghuan suddenly said.
"Oh? How do you know that? " Xu Taiping asked.
"My family lives in the southwest for generations, and is in the herbal medicine business. I have to deal with those minorities, so I have seen this person during some of their major festivals." Li Chenghuan said.
"Little Xu, looks like your circle of friends is really quite broad. You even have connections with someone like this!" Chen ShengLi smiled and said as he patted Xu Taiping's shoulder.
"Didn't you hear what we said? It's only the first time we've met today." Xu Taiping quickly explained.
"This is the first time we've met you, but we've all seen it. It was they who came to find you, not you who went to look for them. This at least proves that in terms of status, you're no different from them!" Chen Shengli said.
Xu Taiping shook his head with a smile, but didn't bother to explain.
In a blink of an eye, it was already eleven o'clock. At the call of the servants of the Zhao Family, Xu Taiping and the others who were sitting on the edge of the yard all went to find their seats.
There were a total of seventy tables in the courtyard, the exact same age as Old Man Zhao.
Xu Taiping followed Chen Shenghuan, Li Chenghuan, and the others as they looked for their tags.
Besides the seventy chapters table, there was a large round table in the front of the courtyard. This round table was covered with a red tablecloth, and in the center of the table was a model of a longevity peach. From the looks of it, this should be the main table.
In the center of the main hall hung a huge word "Life". On both sides of the character, there was also a couplet.
Xu Taiping didn't really know how to write, but he could still see the words clearly. This "longevity" character and the surrounding couplets were definitely written by everyone.
"Taiping, did you prepare a congratulatory gift for Old Man Zhao?" Chen Shengli suddenly asked.
"A congratulatory gift?!" Xu Taiping froze for a moment, then asked, "You want to prepare a wedding gift?"
"Don't tell me you're not prepared?!" Chen Shengli asked in surprise.
"This, I forgot." Xu Taiping said awkwardly. He had indeed forgotten, because he had never planned to come to this birthday celebration. Naturally, he hadn't thought about it.
"Hahaha, you're probably the only one who didn't bring a birthday present today. Haha, everyone will be giving birthday wishes to the old one in a while, and they'll all have to take things up. Don't tell me you're planning to go empty-handed?" Chen Shengli laughed.
"About that, then I'll get a red packet." Xu Taiping scratched his head and said.
"Red packet?" "Haha, creative, but at least it's memorable!" Chen Shengli said.
Xu Taiping gave an awkward smile before following Chen ShengLi and the rest to look for their seats.
After searching for a long time, Chen Shengli and Li Chenghuan both had their own seats. Their seats were located in the middle of the courtyard.
Xu Taiping had wandered around for a while, and had a rough understanding of how the Zhao Family arranged the seats. Xu Taiping had wandered for a long time, and had finally figured out how the Zhao Family arranged the seats.
Chen ShengLi and Li Chenghuan were seated in the middle position, which could be considered as one of the guests that came today.
Xu Taiping was looking for his sign near the door. It was the farthest from the main table, so people like him should be looking for it.
Unfortunately, Xu Taiping wasn't able to find his position after a few rounds. Then, he forgot to look in the middle, but he still wasn't able to find his position.
"You're not going to sit in front, are you?" Chen Shengli asked in a low voice.
"Up ahead?" Xu Taiping squinted and looked at the front rows of tables. In the front rows of tables, there were some names that were very familiar to him, such as Tengxin's Ma Tengshan, who sat in the third row, then Cheng's Ma Yun, who took over the treasure, sat in the first row. In addition, Xu Taiping also saw a few influential people who often appeared on TV, sitting in the first row, in the middle, but they were not in the middle, only the tables in the middle, and the ones on the table were all people with the surname Zhao.
Xu Taiping looked carefully in the first few rows, but he still couldn't find the sign with his name.
This made Xu Taiping feel very strange. Could it be that the Zhao Family did not expect him to come, so they did not prepare his sign?
If that was really the case, it would be too embarrassing.
At that moment, someone suddenly called out Xu Taiping's name.
Xu Taiping looked over and saw Zhao Biqian walking over.
"Tai Ping, why are you here?!" Zhao Biqian asked in surprise when he saw Xu Taiping.
"Can't I come here?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.
"Did Zhao Taixu invite you here?" Zhao Buqian asked.
"En!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "But, I don't think he prepared my name plate!"
"No?" Zhao Buqian asked in surprise.
"No!" Xu Taiping shook his head, "I've already searched thoroughly, but I couldn't find it."
"That's strange. According to the rules set by the Zhao Family, those who don't have any famous tags all sit at the main table. Could it be that you are also sitting at the main table?!" "How is this possible!?" Zhao Buqian frowned.
"Main table?!" Xu Taiping's heart skipped a beat. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
