Chapter 213: Presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers, landing in the tiger's den
The unusually lively Liu Manor was now decorated with lanterns and colored banners. An endless stream of people came through the gate.
More than ten servants stood outside to help the guests carry the congratulatory gifts and lead them into the manor.
Zhao Qing looked at the two large wooden boxes behind him, he smiled like a crafty old fox. Following which, he waved his hand and their group grandiously entered Liu Manor.
Not long after Zhao Qing entered, the Retired Emperor wore luxuriously embroidered clothing, following behind him was Fire Spirit and Earth Spirit's group, in a swaggering manner they walked to the gates of Liu Manor.
The housekeeper outside saw that this group of people were all unfamiliar and stopped them. "Asking the n.o.ble guests to show the written invitation."
The Retired Emperor lowered his head and looked, his face full of disdain as he said. "This elder and you guys' Honorable Liu are very familiar. Are you new, so you have never seen this elder?"
"This n.o.ble guest is correct, this servant indeed has just entered Liu Manor not long ago. But no matter who comes, all must show an invitation card before entering. This is the rule and can't be broken." Liu Manor's housekeeper said this with a strong tone.
The Retired Emperor didn't bother to argue with him, he waved his hand toward the people behind him. Fire Spirit immediately handed up a fiery red invitation card. Liu Manor's housekeeper accepted the invitation and immediately bent down to let them pa.s.s.
After entering Liu Manor, Fire Spirit laughingly said. "Old man, didn't you say before that you stayed here for a period of time? How come no one recognizes you ah?!"
