Chapter 956 Giving Gifts

956

The people at the main table couldn't understand it, and the people in the courtyard couldn't understand it even more.

Mr. Zhao didn't speak quietly, and the whole courtyard was very quiet, so everyone could hear clearly what Mr. Zhao said.

Mr. Zhao actually let a person not named Zhao or Dugu sit next to him?

This is the third and fourth most prestigious position on the entire main table.

This position belongs to Mr. Zhao's two sons, and it was given to a person named Xu like this?

Many people feel that their brains are not used enough.

Is this Mr. Zhao's confusion, or does Mr. Zhao have some other profound meaning?

"Taiji, do you have any objection to giving your position to Taiping?" Mr. Zhao glanced at Zhao Taiji lightly and asked.

Zhao Taiji lowered his head and said, "How could I have any objection, father."

"Old man, please don't do it. Who am I? I'm already terrified to be able to sit at the main table. How can I take Brother Tai Chi's seat? It's no good, no, I can just sit wherever I want. Otherwise, I can stand still!" Xu Taiping quickly shook his head.

"If I ask you to sit down, just sit down." Mr. Zhao said with a frown.

Xu Taiping also frowned. In his opinion, Mr. Zhao must have deliberately put him on the fire to roast him, and the motive for this was probably because of his involvement with Zhao Yongliang.

As we all know, Zhao Yongliang is the son of Zhao Taiji. Zhao Yongliang had to drop out of Jiangyuan University because of drug production and trafficking, and was even sent to a training camp. His life or death was uncertain, all because of him, Xu Taiping.

It can be said that between Zhao Taiji and Xu Taiping, even if Zhao Taiji doesn't feel it himself, in the eyes of outsiders, they still have a blood feud. And now that Mr. Zhao has given Zhao Taiji's position to himself, the possible purpose is There are only two, one is Mr. Zhao who wants to deepen the hatred between Zhao Taiji and Xu Taiping, and the other is Mr. Zhao who deliberately wants to slap his son Zhao Taiji in the face and make Zhao Taiji pay for his son's stupid behavior.

No matter what these two purposes are, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Taiji and himself will definitely have no room for maneuver. Zhao Taiji will definitely not dare to resent the old man if he loses someone. Then the only person he can resent is himself. People.

Xu Taiping was very dissatisfied. He felt that Mr. Zhao was an elder, but you couldn’t be so deceptive even if you were an elder. Although Xu Taiping was not afraid of Zhao Taiji, he was not willing to intensify the relationship between him and Zhao Taiji casually. The conflict, and this conflict was intensified by others, made Xu Taiping even more dissatisfied.

Xu Taiping was about to leave in a hurry when Zhao Taixun on the side grabbed Xu Taiping's arm and said with a smile, "Okay, Taiping, go sit next to Yingying. I heard that you two are also very chatty." Come."

After saying this, Zhao Taixun gave Xu Taiping a wink.

At the head of the table, Xu Taiping had a close relationship with Zhao Taixun. Seeing Zhao Taixun making eye contact, Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he followed Zhao Taixun to Dugu Ying's side, and then Sat down.

After Xu Taiping took his seat, the people present sat down one after another.

Zhao Qingshan sat two seats away from Xu Taiping. This position was not important at the wine table, but in this compound, this position represented the relationship between Zhao Qingshan and the Zhao family.

When many people saw this scene, they absolutely did not believe that Zhao Qingshan had nothing to do with the Zhao family.

After everyone at the table was seated, the birthday banquet hadn't started yet, because next, it was time to send gifts.

Sending congratulatory gifts would definitely not work if you put it in an official's home, because the country has express regulations not to accept these things, but Mr. Zhao has never been an official, so naturally it cannot be regarded as an official's home. If you send congratulatory gifts, then It is necessary, after all, it represents the position of the Zhao family in your mind.

The Zhao family will arrange for someone to read out what each gift-giver has given on the spot. For example, if you give a pair of Shoushan stone seals, the person responsible for counting the things on site will immediately call out what you have given. thing.

This is a rare opportunity to curry favor with others and gain face, so many people have started preparing for this birthday gift several months ago.

Of course, the Zhao family is not using this opportunity to seek benefits from anyone. Mr. Zhao has already said before that all the things he received at this birthday banquet, such as literature and toys, will be donated to the museum, jewelry and jade. And so on, just discount it and donate it to places in need. In short, the Zhao family will not use Mr. Zhao's birthday to make a fortune.

Of course, with the strength of the Zhao family, the sum of the things given by these people present is actually trivial to the Zhao family.

One after another, people came to the main table, and they gave gifts to Mr. Zhao in turn. Some gave him jewelry and jade, some gave him antiques, and some gave him works of art. In short, there were all kinds of things.

If Mr. Zhao likes these things very much, he will accept them himself. Therefore, when giving gifts, those who give gifts hope that Mr. Zhao can accept the gifts by himself instead of asking the servants around him to help.

It is a pity that Mr. Zhao did not collect any of the things given by the guests at the seventy tables in the venue, but all of them were collected by his servants.

Seeing this scene, many people are wondering whether Mr. Zhao is too old and can no longer distinguish the value of the gifts he received? Otherwise, how could you not accept gifts from anyone in person?

After all the gifts on the seventy tables in the courtyard have been delivered, it will be the turn of the main table.

Duguying was the first to give a gift, a couplet written by herself.

Mr. Zhao put away this couplet in front of everyone present.

It can be seen from the smile on the old man's face that he is very happy.

Xu Taiping couldn't understand why this old man liked Dugu Ying so much. Could it be that this old man had any special hobbies? Especially like this kind of pink girl?

If Zhao Dingbang knew what Xu Taiping was thinking at this time, he would probably be furious.

One of the reasons why he likes Dugu Ying so much is because Dugu Ying is well-behaved and silent.

Zhao Dingbang doesn't like a person talking too much. He can't say something clearly in one sentence but not two sentences. Therefore, he likes Duguying's silent behavior very much.

Of course, the most critical point is that Zhao Dingbang has no daughter or granddaughter.

This is a very good thing for a big family.

Although it is now an era of equality between men and women, for many people, sons are the ones who truly carry on the family line. Therefore, in a big family, having a son is a very good and necessary thing, but in Zhao Home, this matter has been taken to the extreme.

Zhao Dingbang gave birth to three sons.

These three sons gave him many grandchildren.

Among Zhao Dingbang's suffocating bloodline, there is not a single woman!

Not a single one!

This directly caused the Yang Qi of the entire Zhao Dingbang lineage to be too strong.

As the saying goes, everything in the world can be balanced only when the yin and yang are balanced. The male lineage of the Zhao family is now too prosperous. As the head of the main line of the Zhao family, Zhao Dingbang must add some feminine things to the main line of the Zhao family. Therefore, Duguying became such a lucky one. Son, she is deeply loved by Mr. Zhao and has a transcendent status in the Zhao family. In terms of favorability, no one in the main lineage of the Zhao family can compare to Dugu Ying.

This couplet written by Dugu Ying is very good. After all, even Xu Taiping likes her handwriting very much.

After Dugu Ying, the three brothers Zhao Taiheng, Zhao Taiji, and Zhao Taixun also gave their own gifts. These three people were thoughtful and did not give any gold, silver, jewelry, or other valuable things. It’s something you prepare yourself and requires a lot of time and experience.

Zhao Dingbang naturally accepted the gifts given by the three of them.

After these three people, someone else gave some gifts, but this time Mr. Zhao confiscated them, all the way to Zhao Qingshan.

What Zhao Qingshan gave to the old man was a piece of tortoise shell.

The tortoise shell is somewhat damaged, and judging from the marks on it, it must be quite old.

"Old man, this is an old object left by a senior martial artist more than three thousand years ago. I gave it to the old man for detailed information." Zhao Qingshan said with a smile.

More than three thousand years ago? !

As soon as Zhao Qingshan said these words, everyone was stunned.

More than three thousand years ago, it was the era of hundreds of schools of thought. It was the enlightenment era of Chinese martial arts, and it was also known as the most beautiful era. At that time, many martial arts practitioners appeared, and these martial arts practitioners created There are all kinds of martial arts, all kinds of weird things, and 99% of these martial arts have been lost.

There are rumors that these lost martial arts are more lethal than modern martial arts, because at that time when countries were in conflict, the biggest role of martial arts was to kill, instead of like now, the biggest role of martial arts is to keep fit and show off. .

Therefore, the martial arts developed more than 3,000 years ago is called ancient martial arts.

Any kind of ancient martial arts is very precious, whether from the perspective of learning or scientific research.

Although I don't know what ancient martial arts are recorded on this tortoise shell, as long as it is ancient martial arts, it is a priceless treasure. This Zhao Qingshan can actually take out a tortoise shell with ancient martial arts recorded on it. This is really terrifying.

The value of this piece of tortoise shell definitely exceeded anything else given by others present.

"A caring man, Qingshan." Mr. Zhao smiled and took the tortoise shell handed over by Zhao Qingshan. After looking at it for a while, he said, "This is indeed ancient martial arts, and it is almost the entire ancient martial arts. I like it very much."

After saying that, Mr. Zhao put away the tortoise shell.

After Mr. Zhao accepted the tortoise shell, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping was the only one left at the entire birthday banquet, and he hadn't given anything yet.
