Back in his room, Ren Pingsheng first hid the small box under his pillow, then took out a big chicken leg from behind.
"Xiao Hei, here you go."
"Woof woof woof!!!" Xiao Hei gnawed on while wagging his tail.
Every time he went somewhere, he couldn't return empty-handed. Just leaving the kitchen, he casually took a big chicken leg to give Xiao Hei an extra meal. After all, when Xiao Hei ate happily, Ren Pingsheng himself felt happy too.
the Ren Residence After several days of preparation, it was finally Ren Yuan's birthday.
As the eastern sky gradually brightened, even before the roosters had crowed, the sound of firecrackers had already echoed through the heavens and the earth at the Ren Residence. Due to Ren Yuan's long-standing business dealings, he had naturally made friends with influential people from all over the place. Most of them would personally come to congratulate him on his birthday, and those who couldn't come in person would send gifts and blessings through their representatives.
Every year on this day, the neighbors wake up to the sound of firecrackers from the Ren Residence. Not to mention the neighboring Erniu family next to the Ren Residence.
"Lord Ren's birthday, it's time to get up and go to give gifts!"
"You woman, why are you making so much noise? It's even louder than the firecrackers outside! So annoying!!" Still half asleep, Master Liu shouted at his wife, then turned over and pulled the blanket back over himself.
"Oh my goodness!!!"
"What are you cursing at? I'm asking you, what are you cursing at?!"
Mrs. Liu tightly pinched Master Liu's ear with her Nine Yin White Bone Claw, twisted it clockwise, and pinched it until it turned purple. This finally woke Master Liu up from his sleep.
Thinking it was just a dream, he had hoped to vent his dissatisfaction through the dream. However, to his surprise, it was real. Master Liu was so scared that he quickly got up from the bed and apologized to his wife.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!!! I'm getting up!"
Mrs. Liu pinched his ear and scolded him again. At this moment, her voice completely drowned out the sound of firecrackers outside.
"Still dare to talk back to me? After you finish washing up, quickly wake up Erniu, and we'll all go together to give gifts. Do you hear me?!"
"Hey hey hey hey, let go first! Ouch ouch ouch!!!"
Mrs. Liu finally put her hand down, and Master Liu was in so much pain that he was rubbing his ears as if he were a little grandson.
As he got out of bed, Master Liu muttered under his breath, "My ears... just go if you want to go... why do you still pinch people..."
Separated by two walls.
the Ren Residence Everyone is getting ready, and there are five hundred tables set up in the courtyard alone.
Inside and outside, it's bustling with activity.
Ren Pingsheng also got up early, not only dressed himself in festive attire, but also dressed Xiao Hei in a red outfit and a big red flower on his head, helping to welcome guests.
"Congratulations, Lord Ren, I wish you great blessings. Please accept this millennium Lingzhi!"
"Thank you, thank you! Haha! Please come in, please come in."
"Lord Ren May you have the blessings of the East Sea and the longevity of the Southern Mountain! This is the Tian Shan Snow Lotus I recently obtained, please accept it!"
"Lord Ren This is the jade dew ointment..."
Looking at the continuous stream of gift-givers and the gifts they brought, Ren Pingsheng planned to save his own gift for last.
After all, the main characters are all making their grand entrance!
Ren Pingsheng Finally spotted a familiar figure among the unfamiliar guests coming and going...
This is not that arrogant camel Xiangzi, is it? He is following his parents now, without the previous arrogance, but rather like a shy girl, hiding behind his parents when he sees someone coming.
Master Liu presented the thing in his hand: "Lord Ren, top-quality Hetian jade! May you have great fortune!"
"Being neighbors for so long, you're still so formal. Just bringing your guests is enough! Thank you, Master Liu," Ren Yuan said with a bright smile on his face, but then he noticed something unusual. "However... what's wrong with your ears? One is big and one is small?"
Mrs. Liu quickly interrupted, "Lord Ren, my husband was accidentally stung by a wasp, but it's nothing, it's nothing!"
Then immediately gave a wink to Master Liu, who touched his ear in a helpless manner and obediently took Erniu inside. Ren Pingsheng stood with Xiao Hei on the side, unable to suppress the smile at the memory of the last street scene.
Not a family, not entering the same door.
This family is really interesting.
As the guests took their seats and before the banquet began, Ren Pingsheng walked inside and happened to overhear a conversation between two people.
A middle-aged man wearing a red and black hat said, "This time, Lord Ren has received many rare treasures. I heard that even the extremely rare jade dew ointment is among them!"
Sitting next to him, a man with a moustache said, "These things are very precious, but compared to one thing, they pale in comparison."
"Oh? What thing?"
Moustache The man pretended to be mysterious and said, "I heard there is a place called Ten-Year Sea, where many mermaids live. The pearl there is the most precious treasure in the world! It is said to shine golden during the day and white at night!"
"It's all hearsay, how could that be true!"
The man with a moustache shook his head slightly, with a strange confidence in his expression: "When I was a child, I went out to sea with my grandfather and really saw this thing. In the moment it was taken out, it would shine and emit a dazzling light with the sunlight. Although I saw it when I was very young, I will never forget that radiance."
The man with the red and black hat leaned in with great interest and asked, "Do you have this thing?"
Moustache The man waved his hand and said, "No. That thing seems to recognize its owner. My grandfather only touched it briefly, and then it disappeared. Later, my grandfather checked many books before he found out that the thing we encountered was called a 'jiao pearl.' Ah..."
"It seems that us ordinary people definitely have no way to obtain such treasures."
Moustache The man nodded, still reminiscing about the first time he saw the pearl, and said with lingering excitement, "If anyone lets me see the pearl again, I'll call him grandpa!"
Ren Pingsheng stood aside and listened without saying a word.
How come I'm only in my teens, but already have a grandson.
The joy of family harmony!
Bang!—
The outer courtyard suddenly made a loud noise, which startled the people in the inner courtyard. Some of them, curious, walked out to see what had happened.
The middle-aged man with the red and black hat, of course, wouldn't miss any opportunity to witness an event. He quickly pulled the man with the mustache next to him to go outside and take a look. Before even a minute had passed, they were called back in from outside.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!! Quick, run!!"
Hearing their loud shouts and seeing the sudden chaos in the crowd, Ren Pingsheng felt a tightness in his heart.
Everyone rushed inside as if they had seen something terrifying.
