Although it was said that Father Zhong's fiftieth birthday would be in two days, at this moment, in front of the Zhong Mansion, it was very busy, and there were countless wealthy people waiting in line to give gifts.
None of these people received the invitation, but they all wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with the Zhong family, which also shows the power of the Zhong family.
When Xiao Yuan came here, he saw exactly this scene.
The two of them were holding the horse, and Xu Hu couldn't help but mutter: "This is a gift, and we still have to queue up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Yuan at the door noticed Xiao Yuan and hurriedly came over to greet him. He raised his hands and saluted, "I didn't know that Mr. Xiao has arrived. I really didn't expect you to come from afar. Please forgive me."
"Brother Liang is too polite." Xiao Yuan returned the favor.
"Ah, Mr. Xiao, please come quickly."
"please."
"Inform Young Master quickly, just say that Young Master Xiao has arrived." Then, at Liang Yuan's signal, a servant from the Zhong Mansion trotted to notify Zhong Bai, and someone also came over and took over the horse's reins. Xiao Yuan and Xu Hu He was also invited into the mansion.
"Who is this young master? It's such a great honor to have Young Master Zhong's guards personally greet him..."
"Who knows, it must be some powerful family..."
There was a lot of discussion at the gate of the mansion.
After entering, it didn't take long for Zhong Bai to rush over. Before anyone arrived, he was already smiling cheerfully: "Haha, Brother Xiao, I've been waiting for you to come."
"Brother Zhong." When the two met, they were sworn brothers, so they didn't have too many polite words, but just talked about their daily routine.
As he spoke, Zhong Bai also sighed softly: "Hey! Brother Xiao, your contribution in this battle against Xirong is obvious to all, but even so, you are still controlled by a treacherous minister and almost wiped out..."
"Hey? Let's not talk about this." Xiao Yuan didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's better to go see your father first. As a junior, I should also fulfill some etiquette."
"Haha, that's fine. My father has been talking about Brother Xiao for many days. He also said that Brother Xiao must be invited this time, otherwise, he will ask questions about me." Zhong Bai said and led the way: "Please."
"If you say that, I'm really flattered..."
The two of them were joking and walked all the way to the hall of the mansion.
Although Father Zhong was seriously ill, he was about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, so he naturally cheered up. At this time, he saw Xiao Yuan, Zhong's white collar worker, coming. The two were close. Although he didn't know Xiao Yuan, he could imagine it, so he quickly got up. And welcome.
"Presumably, this is Xiao Xian's nephew, right? I often hear Bai'er talking about his sworn brother, and seeing him today, he is really brave and talented."
As Father Zhong spoke, he nodded secretly. He looked Xiao Yuan up and down carefully, as if he was looking at his son-in-law.
Xiao Yuan was a little embarrassed: "Uncle praised me so much, this junior is a little bit at a loss."
"Haha, my nephew is joking, but I am telling the truth. Come on, please sit down." Father Zhong said, and also shouted to the servants: "You haven't served tea yet!"
"No." The maid responded crisply.
At this time, Xiao Yuan also took out the congratulatory gift and said with a slight smile: "Today is my uncle's fiftieth birthday. I don't know what kind of congratulatory gift I should give you. I would like to use this to express my feelings and wish you happiness as good as the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
This gift is a scroll of calligraphy and painting, written by a famous artist, and has great collection value. Xiao Yuan got it from Shangguan Wenruo, who looked distressed at the time.
"I am already very happy that my nephew can come, so there is no need to give gifts." As Father Zhong spoke, he raised his brows slightly: "Oh? Calligraphy and painting?"
"Uncle please appreciate it."
"Then... I'm going to be disrespectful?" Father Zhong said tentatively. He seemed to be quite interested in calligraphy and painting, and it was inevitable that he would feel itchy.
This is a landscape painting with a very high artistic conception. After he began to appreciate it carefully, he couldn't help but take a breath: "Hiss... Qu Fuzi's authentic painting..."
"I just hope that my uncle won't dislike this junior's small gifts."
"Oh, my nephew is so thoughtful, how can I be so embarrassed..."
On one side, Xiao Yuan was congratulating him in advance. On the other side, Zhong Duoduo had already learned of his arrival and was currently discussing something with his personal maid.
She whispered in her ear, so strange that the maid was startled after hearing this, "Huh? Miss, Mr. Xiao is a distinguished guest in the house. If the master knows about it, I... we..."
"How could daddy know?" Zhong Duoduo interrupted her.
"But...but I'm afraid...also afraid of snakes..." The maid was extremely timid.
"I'm also afraid of snakes, but I have to treat that guy like this! Who asked him to bully me before! Go and get ready!"
"This...this, miss..."
"Are you going to help me get revenge?" Zhong Duoduo glared.
"Okay... okay..." The maid was embarrassed and worried.
That night, Xiao Yuan's residence.
Xu Hu was originally going to stay vigil outside the door, but was ordered by Xiao Yuan to go down and rest.
The courtyard was very quiet at this time, because Xiao Yuan had already laid down and fell asleep in the house.
Zhong Duoduo was wearing a light pink dress with a pink ribbon tied around her waist. She sneaked into the courtyard with a sneaky look.
Holding a cloth bag in her hand, she walked lightly to the door. She first looked around and then prepared to open the bag and put the contents in along the crack of the door.
But as soon as she touched it, the squirming thing in the bag made her feel numb and goosebumps appeared on her skin.
Nervous and frightened, her little hands trembled, and the bag dropped to the ground. All the dozens of snakes inside suddenly slipped out, still hissing and spitting.
This time, Zhong Duoduo was frightened. Her face turned pale, and she immediately jumped on her little feet and shouted almost subconsciously:
"Ah! Snake! Snake! Help-"
She originally wanted to harm Xiao Yuan, but she lost everything.
Not to mention how funny the scene is.
That's stupid and cute.
Such movement naturally alerted Xiao Yuan. He mentioned the sword beside the bed and opened the door instantly. When he saw the scene outside, he was stunned: "Is it you?"
"Snake, snake..." Zhong Duoduo was still shouting, almost crying.
Xiao Yuan looked down and saw a black snake raising its head, spitting out a message, and trying to attack Zhong Duoduo. He immediately struck it with his sword, and at the same time grabbed Zhong Duoduo's wrist and took her away from the place.
At this time, the servants who heard the commotion thought something had happened, and gathered here with sticks in hand.
"Sir!" Xu Hu rushed over immediately.
"It's nothing, it's just a farce." Xiao Yuan reassured him.
"Miss... Mr. Xiao..." Someone from the Zhong Mansion asked tentatively.
"Snake, there is a snake..." Zhong Duoduo was still frightened.
"Quick! Quick!" After hearing this, the servants immediately started to take action. A group of people gathered in front of Xiao Yuan's door and caught snakes everywhere.
Xiao Yuan let go of Zhong Duoduo's wrist and looked at her speechlessly.
"You...what are you looking at!"
"It seems that you want to harm me?"
