The two brothers were taken out by the third master since they were young. They have met a lot of people and are not stage-frightened at all.

Even though the old marquis had a stern face, the two of them didn't take it seriously.

Each of them took an orange in one hand and walked steadily to the old marquis. They knelt down and kowtowed to him: "Greetings to great-grandfather. May you live a long and prosperous life, enjoy everything you eat, and be in good health—"

When he got closer and took a look, the old marquis's expression became tense.

These two guys look quite familiar, and the more I look at them, the happier I am.

The little girl is so cute. I feel like if I speak a little louder, she might be scared to tears.

Therefore, he cleared his throat unnaturally, trying to keep a straight face, but he couldn't. The corners of his mouth trembled and a hint of a smile appeared, which looked very strange.

His throat tightened for a rare moment: "Well, the ground is cold, get up."

Doubao and Tangyuan quickly got up from the ground and helped their sister Chengzi up.

Then each of them came to the old marquis with a monkey.

One on the left and the other on the right, grabbed the old marquis's sleeves.

This one was amazed: "Great-grandfather is so tall——"

The other one said with admiration: "Great-grandfather is really powerful!"

"Great-grandfather, why is your beard so long?"

"Great-grandfather, your earlobes are so big, you look blessed."

……

The old marquis, who was always dignified and rarely showed affection to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, froze.

In my ears I could hear two children chattering and praising him, and for a moment I really didn't know how to react.

The people below were also stunned. No one in the family had ever spoken to the old marquis like this before.

Only the people in the third room had different expressions.

Lu Zhenzhen was grinding her back teeth. These two brats started to coax her again.

Lan's face was full of confusion and she looked at the old marquis with sympathy. Being entangled by these two little ancestors was really going to cost him a lot of money.

The third master hid in the back and laughed. "Old man, you're confused, right? That's right! When your wallet is emptied out, you're even more confused!"

Sure enough, the two brothers praised the old marquis's appearance.

One of them touched the old marquis's jade pendant and asked, "Great-grandfather, what is this jade pendant made of?"

One of them took a fancy to the old marquis's jade ring: "Great-grandfather, what is this?"

The old marquis looked expressionless. He took off the jade pendant from his waist with one hand and the ring from his finger with the other. He stuffed one into each person's hand and said, "Do you like it? Take it. It's a gift from my great-grandfather."

"Thank you, great-grandfather! You are truly righteous and generous."

"Thank you, great-grandfather. He is indeed very kind to us."

While thanking the old marquis, the two brothers quickly put the jade pendant and ring into their pockets.

Then, she looked at the old marquis with an innocent face and said, "Great-grandfather, you gave us a meeting gift, but you haven't given your sister a meeting gift yet! If you don't give your sister a meeting gift, she will cry."

Then Orange, who was standing below, had red eyes. When she blinked her eyelashes, they became wet. Her eyes looked over like a little deer, "Orange, be good. Don't cry! Even if great-grandfather doesn't give it to me, I won't cry—"

Oh my god, this is so heartbreaking, who can stand it?

Anyway, the old lady was the first one who couldn't stand it. She hugged the orange and said, "Oh, my dear, don't feel wronged, don't cry! If your great-grandfather doesn't give it to you, great-grandmother will! Great-grandmother has already prepared a big box of gifts for you. Can you give them all to me?"

At the same time, he glared at the old marquis.

Mrs. Hu was also distressed. She immediately took off a gold and silk bracelet inlaid with various jewels from her wrist and stuffed it into Chengzi's hand. "You call me Chengzi, right? Chengzi, good boy, your aunt is giving you a gift too!"

Even the eldest wife took out a warm white jade pendant and handed it to Chengzi.

Then everyone glared at the old marquis subtly. What a shame! As a great-grandfather, he didn't even give a gift to his great-granddaughter Chengzi when he met her for the first time. He deserves to be so stingy!

The old marquis had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

Who said he didn't prepare any gifts?

He's prepared, okay? But isn't he afraid of scaring his great-granddaughter?

Doubao and Tangyuan also hurriedly took out the things they had just put away and handed them to Chengzi: "Don't cry, sister, yours is yours."

For a moment, everyone wanted to take out the valuables on them and coax Orange into giving.

Orange blinked her eyes and revealed an innocent smile, her little mouth never stopping, "Thank you great-grandmother, thank you great-grandmother, thank you aunt, thank you uncle——"

Mrs. Hu covered her chest with her hands and thought, "Oh, how could such a well-behaved and lovely girl not be her own?"

Even the gloomy-looking eldest wife couldn't help but smile a little.

The old marquis, who was left aside, took a few deep breaths, took out a box from his arms, and forced a wolf grandmother's smile: "Chengzi, come to my great-grandfather. I have something good for you."

Orange looked around before stepping forward cautiously.

The old marquis opened the box and handed it to her: "Take a look, do you like it?"

His voice was low and his tone was particularly gentle.

To use Lu Zhenzhen's words, her throat was about to smoke.

In the box is a set of mutton-fat white jade zodiac animals, which are cute and lifelike.

It is indeed a fine product.

It's obvious that this is something specially prepared for children. The old marquis must have selected it carefully.

As expected, Chengzi liked it. She took the small box and thanked him happily, "Thank you, great-grandfather."

The old marquis twisted his body uncomfortably and said, "As long as you like it."

He reached out and ruffled Orange's hair.

But he was a grown man, and no matter how careful he was, he didn't know how to control his strength. With one rub, he messed up the bun that Orange had carefully combed that morning.

The red string tied around her bun came loose, and the two pearls hanging from it fell to the ground with a plop.

The well-dressed little girl immediately had her hair disheveled.

Especially the top of the head, which was crumpled into a mess.

The old marquis's hands froze instantly. He hadn't expected this.

Chengzi hadn't reacted yet. He looked at the old marquis with a confused look on his face and a messy hair, holding the box in his hands.

The two looked at each other for a while, Orange pursed his lips, his eyes turned red, and he just opened his mouth.

Doubao and Tangyuan came up to comfort their sister: "Don't cry, sister! Great-grandfather definitely didn't mean it! He's just that stupid, stinky man that grandma described. That's why he messed up your hair!"

"Yes! Great-grandfather is an adult, and he's an elder, so he must be embarrassed to apologize to you! Don't mind it, sister. But Great-grandfather will definitely not take advantage of you! He will definitely compensate you!"

"We are a family after all, and it would be inappropriate to ask our great-grandfather to pay more, otherwise it would damage the harmony and dignity of our family."

"My sister's hairband is made of lace from the West, and the pearls hanging on it are just gold beads from the South Seas. They are not worth much—"

The old marquis couldn't stand it any longer and stood up on the spot: "I'll pay! Isn't it enough for me to pay? Is a set of pearl head ornaments enough?"
