Chapter 59: A Difficult Gift

The banquet held at the Longfeng Hotel under the Ma family this time, there were less than 100 people who were qualified to dine on the top floor. Most of these people have a close relationship with the Ma family, and they also have some interests in the relationship.

As for the rest of the invited guests, more of them were seated in the public hall below the top floor. However, don't underestimate this public hall, because the people who can get the Ma family banquet card still have a bit of a background in this Han River.

Some people who knew the protagonist of today's banquet didn't see Ma Gongcheng when they were on the top floor, so they asked Ma Dingyue curiously. When they learned that this son of the Ma family went to pick up people in person, these people who knew the background of the Ma family were also very curious about who they were, and it was worth picking up Ma Gongcheng, the boss of the hotel, in person? Could it be that it is a distinguished guest from the capital?

This kind of confusion was even more blind when Ma Gongcheng walked into the banquet with Wu Dao, and these top celebrities of the Han River were even more blind. Because no matter what they think of Wu Dao, they don't look like the sons of a family with a big background? So why does the Ma family value the young man in front of them so much?

Facing the confused eyes of so many people, Wu Dao also knew that he was going to be low-key, and he was afraid that he was going to be in the soup. But no matter what, knowing that the Ma family should guess a little bit of their origins, Wu Dao still walked up to Ma Dingyue with a smile on his face and said, "Uncle Ma, hello! There was a delay on the road today, and I was bothered to drive to pick me up, I'm really sorry!

Knowing that Uncle Ma is alive today, I don't have anything to give, this little gift is just a little bit of my heart, and I hope Uncle Ma doesn't mind. ”

For the matter downstairs, Wu Dao naturally would not say it on such an occasion, and the Ma family gave him enough respect in this matter. With Wu Dao's surname, this is the case, if others respect him, he will also respect others in return.

Looking at the long box wrapped in red silk cloth handed over by Wu Dao, Ma Dingyue was also curious about what was hidden inside, but he would definitely not open it on such an occasion. For this reason, he smiled and said, "Come on, what kind of gift do you give?" However, since you are a good friend of my son, and we are meeting for the first time today, I will accept this gift. Let's take a seat first! ”

After handing over the things to Ma Gongcheng and putting them away, Ma Dingyue, as the owner, still had the grace to arrange Wu Dao on the table of several juniors in their family. This move made the guests at the other tables a little unsure of where Wu Dao came from. After all, the table where Wu Dao sits is, to some extent, only the Ma family's descendants can sit!

Sitting at this table, some of the outstanding children of the second and third generations of the Ma family are also a little unfamiliar with Wu Dao's joining. However, before thinking about it, Ma Dingshan and Ma Dingjun had already told them that they should treat Wu Dao well and not make any moves to look down on outsiders.

Therefore, although these juniors felt that it was a bit out of place to sit at a table with Wu Dao, a person in casual clothes, no one dared to offend Wu Dao easily. Because, they really can't understand, what is there about this person who deserves the attention of their elders?

Ma Gongcheng, who took over the gift brought by Wu Dao from his father, thought that the box should not contain anything valuable, and asked the housekeeper of the Ma Mansion who was in charge of recording the list of gifts to register. In order not to be truthful, Ma Dingyue's birthday banquet will not accept some expensive gifts in most cases. This is also for others to think that the Ma family is using this kind of life banquet to make private money.

Just when Ma Gongcheng handed over the gift box to the housekeeper for records, the housekeeper who opened the gift box suddenly tightened his eyes and said: "Second young master, this gift is very valuable, I'm afraid I can't accept it!" ”

Ma Gongcheng, who was about to leave, hurriedly glanced back when he heard the housekeeper's shout, and when he looked at the contents of the box, his eyes suddenly became messy. It was hard for him to imagine that a countryman like Wu Dao, who made money by growing vegetables and selling money, could give such a good thing that was difficult to buy with money?

From a family like the Ma family, Ma Gongcheng naturally would not fail to know what was in the Wu Dao gift box. But as far as he knew, such a quality and quantity of ginseng could hardly be measured by money. Just when he was confused about what to do, the housekeeper of the Ma Mansion continued: "Second Young Master, I think it is better for you to tell the head of the family about this matter, and let him make the decision." The third master just broke through a few days ago, and he urgently needs this kind of good thing to replenish his vitality! ”

If it was something else, the butler would have asked Ma Gongcheng to return the thing. But in the face of this superb ginseng that may reach more than 100 years, the housekeeper who is almost clear about the affairs of the Mafu does not want to make this kind of opportunity easily. Because he knew very well that Ma Dingjun, who had just broken through the bone refining mirror, if there was such a ginseng to recuperate his body, it would undoubtedly enable him to stabilize his current martial arts realm faster.

Ma Gongcheng also felt a little embarrassed by the housekeeper's suggestion, but nodded very much and said, "Okay, then listen to Uncle Gu, you put this thing away first." I'm going to ask Uncle to come over! ”

After speaking, Ma Gongcheng turned around and went to a table with Ma Dingshan, who was toasting and chatting with the guests, and apologized to these old friends who were mostly Ma Dingshan in the Han River, Ma Gongcheng came to the uncle and whispered: "Uncle, Uncle Gu invites you to come over, there is a little matter that you need to decide." ”

Ma Dingshan, who felt a little inexplicable, also saw Wu Dao's arrival just now, but he didn't want others to pay too much attention to Wu Dao. He didn't deliberately get up to say hello to Wu Dao, and now he saw Ma Gongcheng suddenly calling him to go to the back hall of some venues. Ma Dingshan was also very curious, what was it that had to be decided by him, the head of the family, himself?

After saying sorry to these old friends, Ma Dingshan followed Ma Gongcheng to the lounge at the back. When he saw that the housekeeper had already sent the reservation to guard the door, Ma Dingshan was also very curious about what it was, and it was worth the housekeeper who accompanied him to create the Ma family so nervously.

'Xiao Gu, what is it that even you can't be the master? ’

Ma Gu, the housekeeper of the Ma Mansion, looked at the curiosity of the head of the house, and said with a solemn face: "The master of the house, I really can't be the master of this matter, according to your instructions, I will not accept gifts of cash and jade sent by others today, and I will not accept gifts of more than 100,000 yuan." But the gift that the second young master brought from that friend was immeasurable. But I do think that if it doesn't affect the reputation of the Ma family, I might as well accept it. ”

Belch! Hearing Ma Gu's answer, Ma Dingshan was also a little interested, but when he saw the gift in the gift box, he was also shocked.

Some people who were a little uncertain said: "Xiao Gu, is this really more than a hundred years of ginseng?" ”

Ma Gu nodded and said, "When the second young master went to invite you just now, I carefully looked at the ginseng skin and ginseng patterns, and confirmed that this is a hundred-year-old ginseng of extremely high quality. Didn't the third master just break through the martial arts a few days ago? You instructed me to collect some medicinal herbs to replenish vitality, but this kind of thing is difficult to buy even if you have money.

As a result, I didn't expect that a friend of the young master would send one casually. I think it's hard to come by, so I'm asking you to come and get an idea. ”

Hearing that the hundred-year-old ginseng was given by Wu Dao, Ma Dingshan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he felt that he had really made the right bet. glanced at Ma Gongcheng beside him and said, "Gongcheng, this gift is really from Xiao Wu?" ”

Ma Gongcheng said with a wry smile: "Uncle, do you think this kind of thing that is difficult to buy with money can I just swap it out?" ”

Ma Dingshan also felt that it was too much to ask, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment and said, "Success, this thing is very important to your third uncle, so I will accept it." After you go out, don't spread the word about it. In addition, Xiao Gu, you estimate the market price of this ginseng recently, and let Gongcheng return the money to Wu Dao at that time.

If he refuses, you can tell Xiao Wu that my Ma family really needs this superb ginseng. Originally, we didn't accept such a valuable gift, so we had to fold the ginseng into money and return it to him. In addition, you told Xiao Wu again, my Ma family owes him a favor. In the future, if there is anything in the Han River and I need to use the Ma family, I will definitely do my best to help.

And you have to remember that you are not allowed to tell anyone about today's events after you go out, if you can, you can wait and invite Xiao Wu to stay in the provincial capital for one night. I have something to talk to him about privately, and you can ask him what he means. If he really doesn't want to stay longer, don't force it, just remember to have a good relationship with the other person. It's important for our Ma family, understand? ”

Ma Gongcheng smiled bitterly in his heart, while this country boy was becoming more and more mysterious, he still said very seriously on his face: "Understood! ”

After replying to this sentence, Ma Dingshan asked Ma Gu to immediately quote a price, and Ma Gucai, who recently inquired about the price of this superb ginseng, said: "Although I can't accurately judge how many years this ginseng is old, but such a good quality ginseng will be sold outside for at least four or five million, or even higher."

I believe that the head of the family also knows that this kind of good thing will not flow to the market at all. If it were to be auctioned on the black market, it would be worth millions more. It's really hard to estimate the price! ”

After listening to Ma Gu's answer, Ma Dingshan thought for a while and said, "Success, wait a minute, you will transfer 6 million to Xiao Wu, which is considered the money we used to buy his ginseng." Anyway, we owe him a favor, if he really is too little, let him make another offer. ”

Ma Gongcheng threw out six million when he heard his uncle's words, and sighed in his heart that with so much money, how many vegetables and fish did Wu Dao have to sell! But he nodded his head very seriously and agreed. According to the uncle's instructions, without Wu Dao's consent, six million were transferred to Wu Dao's account.

When Wu Dao received a reminder from the bank and saw that a huge sum of six million money had suddenly been transferred, he thought that Ma Gongcheng had not returned his gift before, and finally invited Ma Dingshan over. Wu Dao probably guessed something, I am afraid that the gift he gave will cause trouble again!
