Chapter 2110 Night Visit to Taishi Mansion 1
Chapter 2110: Night visit to the Grand Tutor's Mansion 1
I was very satisfied when the loud military song rang out of the barracks. I arranged the rest briefly, and I saw that the time was almost done, so I planned to go back.
I rode on the chase and returned along the same road. The people who were congested at the door this morning should have left, and I believe that the three wives of the matchmakers have also handled them. As for those merchants, I will leave them to Yu Yuanzhao and others to deal with them tomorrow.
After entering the city, I went to a few shops to check it out. This morning, the people transferred from Shangling began to re-clear and check the goods and account books in the shops, and also began to recruit people in the shops in Beijing. Because the chamber of commerce has relatively good conditions and as long as they are willing to do the work, the work can be guaranteed, although each shop only calls a few people, there are many people applying for the job. It seems that after I handled the counterfeit goods some time ago, it did not leave a bad impression on the people.
As for the cement kiln factory, it will take a long time to build it into the same specification as the Shangling headquarters cement factory. Therefore, although someone is sent to organize it, it will take a long time to re-production. Moreover, the people in Beijing are still afraid of cement factories. To change their fears, they can only fundamentally change the impression of the cement factory in their hearts. Therefore, even if the construction starts immediately, recruiting personnel is a problem, so these things are unhurried.
After inspecting several shops, I was quite satisfied, so I walked home.
When I arrived at the door, I found that there was someone at the door. The crowded scene in the morning was much better. It seemed that the three wives had already dealt with the problem. I felt at ease and walked through the front door instead of the back door like this morning. Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise I would probably be laughed at by someone. The dignified General Zhongwu passed by his door and did not enter. This was not a noble character and busy with official duties, but the front door was blocked by the person who proposed marriage, so I walked through the back door because of helplessness.
After entering the door and handing over the chase to the servants, I walked towards the lobby. As soon as I reached the door of the lobby, I saw three wives and Murong Sanniang sitting in the lobby ceremony, with a look of fatigue on their faces, and the maids they brought were standing behind them and rubbing their shoulders.
I walked in quickly, smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, three ladies, I thanked you for your husband here."
The three girls raised their heads and said nothing.
Murong Sanniang smiled and said, "Why, I only thank your three wives. I have put a lot of effort into this morning as a sister. Why don't you even thank me? You are too partial." After saying that, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes looked straight at me.
I only realized this time and hurriedly said, "Thank you sister. I was free that day. If I were younger brother, I would definitely take my sister to have fun in the capital."
"Forget it!" Murong Sanniang waved her hand and said, "I don't want something happening again this morning. It's really uncomfortable to be chased by a group of people."
My face turned red, and I felt a little scared when I remembered the scene this morning. If I go out once, I will be blocked by the position once, and I will not live this day.
Just when I was stunned, Feixue on the side said, "Why don't you sit down and stand there and do what you want?"
I realized at this time that I stood in the lobby like a hammer for a long time, then found a seat to sit down and sat down next to Feixue. After I sat down, Feixue asked, "Tomorrow, some workers who are in a slightly better situation will be sent back to Shangling. Will you go and send the boat?"
I remembered this incident when Feixue reminded me. Last night, Yu Yuanzhao probably mentioned it to me when he left, but later I forgot it and couldn't help but curse myself for being confused. As for whether to go or not, I still can't make up my mind. Tonight, the Grand Master invited me to his house for a banquet. I don't know what to say. If it was something urgent, I might have time to send the boat.
So I said, "I have to depend on the situation tomorrow. If I can't go, you can go on my behalf. Don't forget to say hello to the people on the boat and treat those people well on the boat, otherwise I will punish you severely!"
"Say some harsh words!" Feixue blamed him a little, "The guys on the boat are all from Shang Ling. You are like their saints. Who else will not do as you say? You still need special instructions?"
After saying this, she took out a piece of paper from the small table beside her, handed it to me, and said, "Someone just sent it to me, saying that you asked someone to find it."
I took it and saw it. It was a list of people with the names of some families in the Taishi's family. There are now more than twenty people of all sizes.
I went to Taishi Mansion tonight. Whether it was a personal relationship or a formal visit, I still had to bring this gift, so as not to say that I had lost my etiquette. But I have been to the capital for so long and I don’t know how many families there are in Taishi Han’s family, so I asked someone to check it out. In order to avoid not bringing enough gifts to the evening, that would be embarrassing.
It is easy to find out how many people in the family of a large family like Taishi, so not long after the instructions, someone sent the information.
I looked at the list, nodded, and said, "Then let's pick some gifts now, so we can give them to you tonight."
"You have to say this?" Feixue gave me a blank look and said, "I know what you want to do when you see the things above you. So I have already chosen the things with my sisters and sisters. Otherwise, you think it would take such a lot of energy to send your matchmakers?" After that, he said to the maid next to him, "I asked someone to take the things up and let the master take a look."
I was overjoyed. I didn't expect Feixue to have made arrangements for me long ago, so I grabbed her hand, kissed her fiercely, and said, "Thank you, old lady."
Feixue's face turned red and she said strangely: "What are you doing at this time, you are not afraid of people's jokes."
I laughed and said, "My sister is not an outsider, what are you afraid of?"
Murong Sanniang smiled sweetly and said, "I haven't seen anything!"
Feixue's face turned red again, but fortunately, the servant had already brought the gifts up, with more than twenty boxes of all sizes, piled up the tables.
Feixue took out the largest box from it and handed it to me. I opened it and saw that it was a statue of a jade-like Bodhisattva. The jade is soft and the workmanship is also very exquisite.
"No, not bad!" I gently stroked the Bodhisattva statue and found it very smooth.
"We learned that the Taishi's wife now likes to practice Zen, and this time there was such a jade statue in the goods that came to Lingyun, so we asked someone to send it. We planned to give it to her. What do you think?" Feixue explained the origin of the statue. Then she pointed to another long box and said, "This is Huang Taiwei's original book "Autumn Rain Moshan Picture". I heard that the Taishi likes Huang Taiwei's calligraphy very much, so I asked someone to take it over. The rest did not investigate as much, but the things inside were of the best quality. It should not be rude to treat it as a gift."
After hearing Feixue's words, I realized how thoughtful she was. The so-called gifts should be given to her preferences, so that she could be sincere. I only asked people to ask people to ask how many people there were in the Taishi Mansion, but forgot to make an article on the gifts. Fortunately, Feixue and others were careful. Seeing the list of the gifts, I mentioned at noon that I would go to the Taishi Mansion tonight. I immediately understood what I meant and helped me choose the gifts. Otherwise, I would give them more expensive gifts tonight, but I could not meet their preferences, and I would not achieve the purpose of giving gifts.
"Okay! Thank you ladies and sisters!" I sincerely thanked.
Jing'er said softly, "Are you still polite to us?"
"By the way!" Let me ask my sister Jing'er tonight to go with you. She knows martial arts, so if something goes wrong, she can take care of her." Feixue said. Among the three girls, Feixue is the oldest, so she became the eldest sister of the three girls. Generally, she will take care of the family affairs arrangements.
"No!" I shook my head and said, "You three of you will all follow me! Let's talk about going to the Grand Master's Mansion, will he still be unfavorable to me?"
"All three of them go?" Feixue frowned slightly.
"Not bad!" I nodded, "You three are all my wives, but there is no difference between big and small. Of course, the three of them will go together."
The three girls looked at each other, then Feixue nodded and said, "Okay, then the three of us will go together."
After we made a decision, we discussed going like this tonight, and also chatted for a few words.
Time passed quickly and the sky was slightly dark. So we went back to the house to change our clothes, boarded a larger carriage, and drove towards the Taishi Mansion.
With the experience of going to the Prime Minister's Mansion last time, I was familiar with the road when I went to the Grand Master's Mansion this time. I soon arrived at the Grand Master's door. As soon as I got off the car, someone came up to me. It seemed that he was the Grand Master's housekeeper.
He bowed as soon as he came up and asked politely: "Is it General Deng and his wife?"
I nodded.
Seeing me nodding, he said respectfully: "The Grand Master has been waiting for the general in there for a long time." Then he turned sideways, gave up his main path, bent down and made an invitation move, and said: "Please here!"
He asked the superiors and subordinates to hold the gift, and Feixue and others, I followed his guidance and entered Master Tai.
It's dark now, and palace lanterns have been lit everywhere in the entire Taishi Mansion. Then I began to look at the entire Taishi Mansion. Unlike the Prime Minister's Mansion, the buildings in the entire Taishi Mansion are mostly new-style buildings, and the styles inside mostly represent the architectural style of the current Dazhou.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little curious. The buildings of the Prime Minister's Mansion are mostly classical and have a strong nostalgic atmosphere, but the Prime Minister pursues a goal of changing new things. Most of the buildings of the Grand Tutor Mansion are in the current style, but the Grand Tutor is very conservative in terms of reform. These two people are really strange!
