The servants of the manor were dressed in modest clothes, and their hands as smooth as jade gently dragged the plate covered with red cloth.

The plate was slightly bulging, and no matter how Zhan looked at it, it looked like a congratulatory gift from him.

If the real gift was returned, wouldn't the arrogant words he just released make his face swell!

"Prepare, do you plan to kneel down and kowtow first, or lick the skin of your feet?"

The person next to him stared at the battle with a sneering expression.

Although their congratulatory gifts were also returned, they were also returned when they saw the battle, and in addition to the various unhappiness they had in the previous battle, they were finally released.

This kind of mentality is like, I'm not happy, but I'm even more sad when I see other people, then I'm better!

Zhan's face was very grim, listening to the mocking words of the people around him, he didn't refute, his eyes locked on the tray in front of him.

The servant walked to the gate of the manor, and through the thick bronze gate, he slowly lifted the red satin, revealing two dry and old branches inside.

The corner of Zhan's eyes jumped, this is not chopsticks, but two branches?

When the others saw this, they burst out laughing.

"I'm laughing to death, when I saw this person's arrogant appearance just now, I thought he was preparing some great gift! I didn't expect to prepare two dry and dying old branches! ”

"Yes! I naively thought that he gave him a pair of chopsticks, but I didn't expect that the real gift was not even as valuable as a chopstick! As long as I want, I can pull a cart of these tattered old branches over at once! ”

"Hahaha, isn't this congratulatory gift drawn from the side of the road temporarily? Whoever gives a gift would casually skim two branches from the tree, I guess Cheng Lao will already blow his beard and stare angrily when he sees this gift! If I receive this kind of gift at the banquet, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat, Cheng Lao will definitely think that you are here to smash the field! ”

“......”

Zhan secretly clenched his fists, and some cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The beautiful subordinate in front of her was wearing a delicate cheongsam, outlining her charming figure, and she bowed slightly to the group of people in front of her, revealing a warm smile.

"Excuse me, who is the owner of this gift?"

As soon as it was abnormal, the subordinate who came to return the congratulatory gift did not directly name and return it, but asked a little more.

However, in the eyes of others, everything has already been taken out, and it is estimated that it is a safe thing to return.

"It's me!"

Zhan spoke in a calm voice, his face a little nervous.

The people next to him were all grinning, revealing the corners of their mouths sarcastically, waiting to watch the good show of the battle.

The subordinate looked at Zhan's body, smiled slightly, and then opened his thin lips lightly and slowly spoke.

"Mr. Han Zhan, congratulations on getting the invitation of Cheng Lao, you are destined to be today."

"Next, please come with us to the banquet held by Cheng Lao for you, and invite you to participate in Cheng Lao's 70th birthday."

As soon as this remark came out.

The audience was silent, and everyone's eyes were about to fall out!

At this time, even the sound of a needle falling on the ground can be heard clearly.

Finally, there was a hard wriggling of lips.

"No, it can't be a mistake, he, his congratulatory gift is this kind of thing, do you want to go back and ask Cheng Lao again, Cheng Lao may have seen the wrong thing for a while? Or did you mishear Cheng Lao's words, what he meant was to let you quickly throw this tattered branch out? ”

The man from the manor glanced at the person who was talking next to him, and a light frost appeared in his beautiful eyes.

"Are you questioning Cheng Lao?"

"No, don't dare!"

The man was startled and quickly shrunk his neck and shut his mouth.

He looked a little ugly at the others around him who were also looking ugly, each with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Fang Cai, the people who shouted the most fiercely and laughed the most, were like languishing balloons at the moment, all of them shrunk their heads and hid in the crowd, not even daring to let go of a fart.

Everyone's bodies became stiff and difficult to move, and they stared at the old twigs that lay on the tray in the hands of their subordinates.

If they are killed, they will not believe it, how can this kind of worthless thing be favored by Cheng Daiyuan?

"I question!"

Suddenly, the first person made a questioning voice.

"I suspect that Cheng Lao is not in the manor at all, from beginning to end I just saw you subordinates, you bring gifts in and bring them out, how do we know if you have given the congratulatory gift to Cheng Lao, or you deliberately played some tricks in the middle, Cheng Lao didn't see our congratulatory gift at all, otherwise why could this branch let him in? In that case, I immediately broke off two branches from the side and came down, can I also be allowed in? ”

"That's right! How do you prove that Cheng Lao chose him and not us? ”

These people are completely unable to accept this fact and are trying to justify themselves by distorting and finding all kinds of reasons.

In short, they can't accept the fact that they have lost the bet!

Some people saw that the branch had succeeded, and immediately ran to a distance without stopping, found a random tree, broke two branches, and hurried back.

The men squeezed into the crowd, sweating profusely, holding fresh branches high in their hands and hoisting them towards the people inside.

"Please give this congratulatory gift to Cheng Lao, this is my new congratulatory gift!"

The subordinate looked faintly at the person holding the branch outside, and his face became cold.

"Please respect yourself, this is Cheng Lao Manor, it is a quiet place, and loud noises are prohibited."

"If you guests suspect that our subordinates have traces of hands and feet, then please leave this place and go to find Cheng Lao's real residence by yourself, your congratulatory gifts have been returned intact, if there are still people who want to make trouble, then don't blame us for being unkind to you."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.

The person who questioned loudly just now was also in a hurry, how could he not know that Cheng Daiyuan really lived here.

It's just that his hot-headed and unwilling thoughts made him lose his mind for a while, so he said such excessive words.

"I'm sorry, I was hot just now, but my heart is good, I just desperately want to see Cheng Lao, since other gifts are not accepted, then let's draw a scoop according to the gourd and give the branches again, is it okay?"

The subordinate did not make a sound.

These people thought that there was a show, regardless of their status, and they were busy picking branches from various places one by one, and some people called in a large number of branches.

These branches are found in all ages, from new to old.

The subordinates of the manor were patient and sorted out the congratulatory gifts that these people had re-gifted and sent them in one by one.

They also didn't know why Cheng Daiyuan chose the congratulatory gift for the battle, which also led to a group of people competing to follow and imitate, and as a result, the gate of the manor was full of all kinds of branches, and a steady stream of branches sprung in.

"Give it to me first! It's mine! ”

"Get out of the way, don't you understand the principle of first come, first come? Send me first! ”

“......”

There was a rare scene at the gate of the manor, a group of high-class people, all holding fresh branches without any image at the moment, completely ignoring the dirty dirt on their hands, like fanatical fans waving glow sticks, desperately trying to send the branches in their hands up.

When the people inside saw the appearance of the group of people outside, their brows furrowed, and although they were displeased, they didn't say anything.

After a while.

A man with a sturdy figure walked out, his body exuded a cold aura, his face was very serious, his eyes were like eagle eyes, just sweeping the surroundings, all made this group of people shiver, as if they were being targeted by death.

The man stood tall and dressed in a neat warrior's outfit, standing inside the gate, staring indifferently at the group of people outside.

"Cheng Shuai has an order, anyone who continues to give more branches will be thrown into the glacier outside the manor as punishment!"

As soon as these words came out, a group of people outside suddenly fell silent.

They all had timid and unconvinced expressions on their faces.

"Why? Why did that person send branches, Cheng Lao chose to meet him, and if we send branches, you will throw us into the river? ”

"That's right! It's not fair! ”
