Chapter 8: The Birthday Banquet
A little farther away, Zheng Zheng suddenly felt clean. He answered the phone and whispered, "What's wrong, Dad." ”
"It's okay, it's all good, just give you a call. On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man's voice rang: "I'm afraid you forgot something, call you to wake up." ”
"Dad......" Zheng Zheng frowned and said in a low voice.
The other end of the line seemed to know what he was trying to say, and interrupted him before he could speak. The voice looked a little tired: "I know what you think, but our family and them are the same family after all, and we have to pass the birthday of the head of the family." ”
"Tomorrow is the birthday of the head of the family, you have to go over. You're also older, it's time to get to know the people in your family. ”
After a moment of silence, Zheng Zheng shook his head. He took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said, "...... Okay, I'll listen to you. ”
At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zheng Zheng simply cleaned up and left Donglai Pavilion.
Out of caution, Zheng Zheng also brought the bronze balance with him when he went out. Although the bronze balance is placed in the Donglai Pavilion and is not afraid of being stolen, Zheng Zheng always feels that it is safer to let this bronze balance be with him. This bronze scale is not big, and it is not much to put in your pocket.
After answering the phone yesterday, Zheng Zheng was not in a good mood, so he didn't have the intention of continuing to wander in the bulk goods street, and after exchanging mobile phone numbers with Zheng Yonghe, the two said goodbye. Zheng Yonghe wanted to give the landscape painting to Zheng Zheng, but Zheng Zheng did not accept it, saying that Zheng Yonghe paid for the painting, and no matter what the value was, it was Zheng Yonghe's. Seeing that he insisted, Zheng Yonghe could only follow his wishes.
Zheng Zheng is not a hot idea, he sold the pile of blue and white porcelain fragments before has earned nearly 100,000 yuan for the store, this performance is already very powerful, if you receive a Qing Dynasty landscape painting at a low price, this achievement is too amazing, it is inevitable that it will not be taken seriously. And the last thing Zheng Zheng, who holds a bronze scale, wants to see now is that he has received too much attention from others, so as not to dig deep into him.
Out of this consideration, Zheng Zheng handed over the painting to Zheng Yonghe, which can be regarded as a friendship with him.
After leaving Donglai Pavilion, he stopped a taxi, and Zheng Zheng took the car and went straight to the suburbs.
The Zheng family's house is in the suburbs, and ordinary people really can't find a place, and the taxi driver can't figure it out. But with Zheng Zheng to guide the way, he just drove and didn't care about anything else.
The taxi driver also wanted to have a chat with Zheng Zheng, but he saw that Zheng Zheng's face was not good, so he didn't talk much.
Zheng Zheng was in a bad mood.
Since receiving a call from Zheng Yongping, his father, yesterday, Zheng Zheng has not been in a good mood. Although he wanted to go to sleep all at once today and not take care of this matter, after thinking about it again and again, Zheng Zheng still did not disobey his father's wishes.
The current head of the Zheng family is Zheng Yongping's uncle, and according to the seniority, Zheng Zheng has to call the head of the Zheng family grandpa. Having said that, Zheng Zheng didn't want to recognize such a relative.
The things in between, not only Zheng Zheng's own reasons, but also the entanglement stories of the previous generation, which cannot be broken clearly for a while.
Those old things Zheng Zheng knew in his heart that because of this, when he returned to the Western Capital, he did not want to rely on his relatives, but found a job in an antique shop by himself. Otherwise, according to the strength of the Zheng family, even if Zheng Zheng is a side disciple and will not be taken too seriously, his situation will be better than now.
"Hoo ......"
Seeing that the destination was approaching, Zheng Zheng exhaled, and then greeted the taxi driver: "That's it, stop it." ”
"Parking here? Oh...... Oh oh, okay, okay. ”
The taxi driver looked at the scene in front of him, and then turned to look at Zheng Zheng, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, and was a little surprised.
Less than a hundred meters away from the taxi is a platform, where there are luxury cars parked, and the rental drivers of those luxury cars are more familiar than one another, and the first thing I think about after buying a lottery ticket every day is to buy one of them.
The young man in front of him, who looked extremely ordinary, could have anything to do with such a big family? The driver looked at Zheng Zheng and felt a little sour in his heart. It's not that he's envious, he just regrets why he didn't open his mouth with a lion just now and earn him hard.
"Sir, do you need me to help you park the car?"
Zheng Zheng sent the taxi and followed the mountain road to the platform where the luxury cars gathered, and a young man in uniform walked up to him and asked with a smile.
"Thank you, but my car is gone. Zheng Zheng was not embarrassed, and said calmly.
The young man nodded and smiled at him, stretched out his hand to the mountain, and said, "Then please go up the mountain, the banquet will start around twelve o'clock, you can rest first......"
"Yo he? Zheng Da Shao is here?"
"I'm afraid Zheng Dashao's car doesn't need to stop, right? When I came here just now, I saw a taxi, it looks like it should be Zheng Dashao's car, right?"
Before the young man could finish his words, a voice with an extremely sarcastic tone sounded on the side.
Zheng Zheng followed the prestige, and after seeing who it was, he sneered.
"Young Master Zheng. The young man bowed slightly to the visitor.
Zheng Bei, who was in a suit and leather shoes, walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, he waved his hand to the young man, and the young man turned around and left very sensibly. Judging from his gestures, Zheng Bei really has the meaning of "young master".
Zheng Bei looked Zheng Zheng up and down, frowned and shook his head, and said, "I said Zheng Dashao, what you are wearing today is quite regular? Why don't you wear your jeans? That makes you look so casual, doesn't it?"
He looked at Zheng Zheng's clothes again, and asked as if he was very concerned: "Your clothes are not cheap, are you...... I think it's worth at least three hundred dollars!"
"Zheng Bei, ......" Zheng Zheng squinted at Zheng Bei, his voice low.
Zheng Bei raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What are you doing?"
Seeing that Zheng Zheng seemed to be angry, Zheng Bei was secretly happy in his heart. He just wants to provoke Zheng Zheng's anger, and then lose Zheng Zheng's face on today's big occasion.
But Zheng Zheng was not as angry as he thought, Zheng Zheng took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, looked at Zheng Bei and said, "I don't want to quarrel with you today, Zheng Bei, put away your little thoughts, it's useless." I just want to pay a birthday to the old man today, and I'll leave when I'm done. Let's talk about the matter between the two of us later, don't worry. ”
"Hey...... Hey. ”
Zheng Bei wanted to say something more, but when he saw Zheng Zheng's eyes, he didn't know why, and his heart suddenly burst out. It was precisely because of this inexplicable feeling that Zheng Bei did not talk to Zheng Zheng for a while, and could only laugh dryly.
The strange feeling in his heart flashed, although he didn't know why he was a little jealous of the current Zheng Zheng, but Zheng Bei still wanted to hit Zheng Zheng. However, this time when he spoke, Zheng Bei couldn't help but be careful: "Birthday wishes? Counting this year, you have been here in the Western Capital for a total of three years." Why didn't I see you for the old man's birthday two years ago? Could it be that you finally can't do anything in Donglai Pavilion and want to come and hug your thighs?"
"Whatever you say, do you think I'm happy to take care of you or what?"
After speaking, Zheng Zheng shook his head towards Zheng Bei, and then turned around and walked towards the mountain. He ignored Zheng Bei's clamor behind him, and said secretly in his heart: "Although Lao Tzu really wants to suck your cheap face, but since Lao Tzu has been holding his stomach for a while, this can be regarded as paying the price." If you make a fuss with you here because of this little thing, Lao Tzu's face is not bright, not only will the price paid be lost, but he will also have to leave a bad evaluation in the eyes of others, which is really a loss to grandma's family. ”
Although Zheng Zheng is not willing to come to the Zheng family to celebrate his birthday, since he is here, even if he is unwilling, he will do his best to do this thing well. Because of this, although he was angry at being provoked by Zheng Bei, he did not pay attention to Zheng Bei.
walked all the way up to the door of the Zheng family's mansion, and after reporting his name, a knowledgeable guest took Zheng Zheng to the banquet hall. Zheng Zheng, the Zheng family's mansion, had only been here once, and he hadn't visited much, so he really couldn't find a place to find a banquet hall by himself.
It was past eleven o'clock, and many of the guests had already arrived, all sitting in the banquet hall waiting for the banquet to begin. Some of them sit at a table and chat before the banquet begins.
The head of the Zheng family celebrated his birthday, and it was not only the children of the Zheng family who came to celebrate his birthday, but also those businessmen and friends of the Zheng family who had dealings with the Zheng family in business also heard the news. One by one, they handed each other business cards to introduce themselves, and the scene looked extremely lively.
Zheng Zheng found a table where no one was there and sat down, looking at all kinds of people in the banquet hall. Not to mention whether the people who came to celebrate his birthday knew him, even if it was in the Zheng family, there were only one or two people who knew him, so Zheng Zheng sat there alone and no one came to talk to him, and he was happy to be quiet.
"Boy, boy, that's called ...... Zheng Zheng's, what about you!"
