Chapter 79
Chapter 79. Weapons of War
That's it!

After a word, the whole audience was stunned.

Before, everyone only focused on the authenticity and value of this Qi Liuzi knife, but after all, this thing was given as a birthday gift.

Since it is a birthday gift, it is necessary to study whether it means auspiciousness or not. This is a tradition in China for thousands of years.

Traditional culture cannot be neglected, even in modern society!
As expected of a person who has dominated Nanling for so many years, he has a unique vision and sees blood for a while.

Weapons of war should not be used as birthday gifts. In this way, even if Ren Ping did not have any malicious intentions at all, and Mrs. Tian did not care about it, it would be very unpleasant to hear about it. He is an upstart who doesn't know etiquette.

Thinking of this in a flash, everyone present couldn't help but nod their heads, and secretly praised Jiang. After all, Jiang was old and hot, and it was unwise for Ren Ping to go against Wang's uncle and nephew who had a profound background at such a young age.

Only Tong Jian and others sitting in the side hall sneered slightly and snorted. It seemed that Wang Bo's remarks just now had not been heard at all:

"Self-righteous! Just wait, this man surnamed Wang dug his own grave and shot himself at the muzzle of the gun. He didn't even know the real meaning of the little guy sending the Qi knife, so he was just talking big here."

"That's right, this person seems to be quite sophisticated and good at calculating, but in fact he is very scheming, once he gains power, he will speak out without any restraint, what disasters, troubles and peace, and if he continues, he is not afraid of being kicked out by the Tian family. "

"You said, that little guy really knows the origin of Qi Liuzi Dao and the Tian family?"

"Of course, this kid feels very good. I don't believe that he is willing to give away such a valuable thing without knowing the relationship. By the way, Xinguan, I heard that this little guy's family is in the home improvement business. What kind of Ren family name is there?" The wood industry, but it’s closed down, right?”

"That's right. Not only did he go bankrupt, but he also owed a lot of debt. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried every means to find the Ueda family."

Xin Ran smiled slightly.

Among these people, he was the one who knew Ren Ping the most. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone had an epiphany.

In Nanling, no matter what business you do, as long as you can get on the big ship of the Taihetian family, all problems will not be a problem.

This idea is simple and clear, and you can understand it as soon as you hear it. Based on their life experience, they don't think it is speculative.

At this time, Wang's uncle and nephew, who thought they had grabbed the opponent's sore foot, were still triumphant. Under Wang Youlong's deliberate instigation, the discussion in the field increased instead of diminishing, as if everyone believed that Qi Liuzidao was extremely bad. OK.

The more expensive the value, the more disrespectful it seems to the Taihetian family.

Wang Bo also sneered again and again.

Don't look at him pretending to be deep and sophisticated, but at his age, Ren Ping alluded to him just now as "a fox pretends to be a tiger, and a dog takes advantage of others", so he almost pointed his nose and scolded him.
It's just that it was forcibly suppressed first, and now that the overall situation has been settled, it will naturally take advantage of the situation to explode:
"Hmph! Arrogant boy, you are ignorant after all. You only thought that this Qi Liuzi knife was worth a lot, so you gave it as a gift,"

"I don't know that according to Chinese traditional culture, gift giving is also a science. Time, scene, and object are all very particular. If you just randomly find something like you and give it away, it is tantamount to asking for a fish. What is it if you are not stupid?"

"You are smart! You are self-righteous! You dare to ride on my Nanling Wang family. I have been here for so many years, and I am afraid that I will crush you to death if I shake off two hairs!"

"How about this, I will spare you once today. If you kowtow three times to the old man, the previous matter will be written off. Maybe the old man will consider taking you into the door when he is happy, how about it?"

Sitting firmly on the seat, Wang Bo felt that he had the chance to win, and he could crush Ren Ping to death without waiting for the identification of the Mingquan Xiaotianlong, and he couldn't help showing his arrogant nature.

Although everyone felt that what he said was a bit excessive, the collecting world was just like the business world, everything was based on strength, and it was either you or me who died, so they were not surprised.

"Smelly boy, my uncle has washed his hands and retired for many years. The last time he accepted an apprentice was more than ten years ago. Now is a great opportunity. Why don't you cherish it?"

Wang Youlong on the side sneered, just like Wang Bo, with his nostrils upturned and no one in his eyes.

Having said that, everyone knows that it is good for Ren Ping not to bow his head, but once he bows his head, more cruel and vicious ridicule will follow.

For a moment, they all looked over together.

I saw that Ren Ping was still calm, with a funny expression on his face. He deliberately made a gesture of clenching his fists and shaking his shoulders, which made me very happy, and said with a smile:
"Did I hear you right, Mr. Wang, do you want to take me in as an apprentice?"

"Yes, if you sincerely repent, the old man is tolerant and generous, and I don't mind accepting you as a disciple with a different surname."

"That's a good relationship. If that's the case, then the position of president of the Koizumi Association will be mine in the future?"

"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Wang Youlong was furious and pointed at Ren Ping with the halberd.

Wang Bo heard that there was something in his words, and waved his hand to signal Wang Youlong to back down:
"That's not the case. The president of the association has always been elected by the members. Although the old man is the former president, he can't be the master."

"Oh, I thought the position of president was passed down from your family."

Ren Ping pretended to be disappointed.

Wang Youlong couldn't bear it anymore:

"Even if it's a family tradition, what does it have to do with you? Is your surname Wang!"

"My surname is not Wang, but I guess there are quite a few people with the surname Wang in Nanling, and I'm afraid they are from first-class families."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Think about it, the position of the president of the Guquan Association is elected by the public, and the surname Wang is always selected. There must be a lot of members with the surname Wang, and there are [-]% to [-]% of the members."

"Following the push, not everyone can be a member of the association, right? If you choose it once in Nanling City, you might be one in a hundred or one in a million. According to the ratio, what is it that the Wang family is not the largest family in Nanling?"

"Speaking of this, I remembered that there is a friend who is also in your association. He said that every time the association held activities, he seemed to have entered the doghouse. After inquiring, I found out that newcomers who just joined the association want to make friends with old members. Everywhere I see people visiting the pier, asking 'your name' and 'your name' all the time? As a result, they all answer 'woof', 'woof', 'woof', 'woof', 'woof', isn't it just entering the kennel?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A tidal wave of laughter broke out.

As soon as Ren Ping finished speaking, the deafening laughter seemed to overthrow the entire Tian family villa.

This time, everyone couldn't bear it anymore. They knew that Ren Ping made up such a lot of high-sounding nonsense just to ridicule the Wang family's nepotism and control of the Guquan Association, but because it was so interesting, they really wanted to hold back their laughter. no.

Wu Zui knew that this kid Ren Ping was not the one to talk about it, so he also booed at this time:

"To put it this way, really, the most powerful family in Nanling is none other than the Wang family! But Pingzi, you have to be careful when you worship Mr. Wang as your teacher in the future, and don't enter the Ancient Spring Association."

"why?"

"I don't even understand this? People ask your surname, and you say it's 'human'. Doesn't that seem out of place? Hahahaha..."

The crowd burst into laughter again, only making Uncle and Nephew Wang's face livid with anger, and finally realized what it means to suffer the consequences of oneself.

"That's enough, brat! You think you're smart enough to use a pair of knives and coins as a birthday gift. How disrespectful you are to Mrs. Tian, ​​it's like a curse! Do you still have the face to stay here now!"

With a stern voice, Wang Bo forcibly brought the situation back to the point, and wanted to take the opportunity to drive Ren Ping out of Tian's birthday banquet. In this way, it doesn't matter even if he loses in the verbal dispute.

Ren Ping didn't bother to pester him anymore, so he smiled coldly:
"Pretending to be smart? Are you talking about yourself, Mr. Wang, who said that I was disrespectful to Mrs. Tian by giving away this Qi Liuzi knife?"

"The sword is a weapon of war, you have admitted it yourself, what else can you say!"

"It is true that a sword is a weapon of war, but it is not the only meaning. Mr. Wang claims to be familiar with Chinese traditions. Don't you know that when men in ancient times came of age, they often gave swords as a gift? Aren't swords and swords both A weapon of war?"

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

That's right, the ancients gave swords as a gift, which meant to be determined to grow up, to be hardworking and enterprising, but it had nothing to do with any misfortunes or disasters. So, it seems reasonable to give a sword?

"Excessive words! How can gifting a knife and giving a sword be the same? You are just messing around. Besides, Mrs. Tian is already an octogenarian. How can there be any talk of coming-of-age ceremony?"

Wang Bo still bites him to death without relaxing.

Ren Ping snorted:
"I'm just giving an example. The Qi Liuzi knife is a gift today, of course it has nothing to do with other meanings."

"What does that mean?"

"Hmph, Mr. Wang, do you know where the Taihetian family's ancestral home is?"
