Chapter 759: Flattery
Seeing Xu Zhou talking to Master Zhang there, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu couldn't sit still, he spent a lot of money and effort to find these eight dancing girls from the Western Regions, and now two of them have entered Xu Zhou's eyes, and I don't know if Xu Zhou will help his son find an official position?
The son of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu sat down with gold stars in his eyes, and had been looking at Xu Zhou very expectantly, his father had planned so much for him, just to seek a half-official position for him, and now Xu Zhou has received the beauties sent by his family, it seems that his hope is still very great.
"Lord Xu, those two beauties have ......"
"I have admired you for a long time, if I can do things by your side, I will definitely work hard for you, and I will never delay and slacken."
Working by Xu Zhou's side, over time, he will definitely climb to a higher place, and the son of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has already thought that as long as they can climb the high branch of Xu Zhou, their family will definitely be famous all over the world.
"Don't worry about the virtuous nephew, those two beauties must be able to make their dreams come true."
On the surface, it is said that the dreams of the two beauties have come true, but in fact, Xu Zhou wants to tell the son of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Zhou will definitely keep his appeal in mind.
Hearing this, the Ministry of Rites and his son put their hearts at ease, eating meat and drinking wine, not to mention how happy they were.
The rest of the people saw that the book of the Ministry of Rites got their wish, and they all made their little calculations in their hearts.
Now Xu Zhou's status is getting higher and higher, and he is still a celebrity around the emperor, he is in power, if he can be next to this big tree, they will not only have official fortunes, but the family will also prosper.
Fortunately, these ministers have prepared gifts in advance, and for a while, the hall of Xu Zhou's house is filled with rare treasures, and the scene is very lively, even much grander than the emperor's birthday in the palace.
"Lord Xu, I also got a treasure from the Western Regions, please don't dislike it." Imperial Doctor Zhang Yonghe said very confidently.
I saw him clapping his hands, and the four guards came in with a large piece of something, and covered it with a red cloth, so that they could not see what was inside, and everyone present was very curious, trying to find out what was inside.
If it takes four people to carry such a big size, is it a big stone?
Doctor Goshi walked to the center of the hall, and he personally removed the green cloth.
"This is a screen made of emeralds, this emerald is rare for a thousand years, and as soon as it was discovered, I bought it and carved it into a screen. Don't look at the thin just a screen, there is an inscription by the famous calligrapher Wang Zhixi on it, ministers, you can also come together to appreciate and appreciate. ”
Everyone present knew that Xu Zhou's favorite thing was the costume of gems and gemstones, and his favorite was emeralds.
Zhang Yonghe, the imperial historian, not only found such a large emerald, but also made a screen, with such a precious inscription on it.
It seems that it took a lot of effort for this Imperial Doctor to find this treasure.
"This emerald is really good, Mistress Goshi, it seems that you have put a lot of thought into it." Xu Zhou did not hesitate to praise himself.
The main purpose of holding this banquet today is not to want to loot some treasures from the hands of these ministers, seeing that half of his plan has been achieved, Xu Zhou is not to mention how happy he is.
"As long as it can make Lord Xu happy, my careful thinking is worth it. This emerald cost a lot of money to transport from the Western Regions, as long as Lord Xu is happy, then it is worth the cost. ”
Doctor Yu Shi deliberately emphasized that he had spent a lot of silver taels, not because he wanted to get some kickbacks from Xu Zhou.
The main thing is to let Xu Zhou know that he has spent a lot of money, and if Xu Zhou can help him more in the future, then it will be the biggest reward for him.
What Xu Zhou enjoys most is the feeling of being on top, and now that everyone has come to slap him, how can he be unhappy? It's just that he deliberately held the shelf, for fear that others would look down on him.
"This emerald screen is rare in the world, and there are only two in total, both of which can be owned by the most noble people." Doctor Yu Shi said flatteringly.
"The most honorable man?" Xu Zhou repeated, he wanted to know who the other honorable person in the mouth of the imperial doctor was, "Who took the other screen?" ”
"It's Lin Xuanqing, it should be to please his beautiful lady, he ......" Before he finished speaking, seeing Xu Zhou's expression suddenly turned cold, the imperial doctor didn't dare to continue.
He had never heard that Xu Zhou had a holiday with Lin Xuanqing, why did Xu Zhou's face change after listening to Lin Xuanqing's place after listening to another screen?
Doctor Yu Shi returned to his seat stupidly, not daring to make another attempt, and the rest of the people secretly laughed at him in their hearts for not opening which pot to mention.
The thankless thing was only done by Dr. Yushi, and the rest of the people offered treasures again, all of them flattered, praising Xu Zhou to the point that there is nothing in heaven and on earth, and Xu Zhou also accepted it shamelessly.
At the end of the words, Xu Zhou was already a little fluttery, the wine in his hand was one cup after another, and there was a charming dancing girl in the center of the field writhing her delicate body, smiling and smiling, seducting people's souls.
Yushi, who was stunned, glanced at Xu Zhou by drinking, the person Xu was a little drunk, and the whole person was lying on the chair without any image, and a pair of eyes were firmly staring at the writhing waist of the dancing girl below, and his thoughts were self-evident.
The movement in his hand was raised, and the mellow wine slid into his mouth, and the corners of his lips followed with a touch of arc, he just heard that there was some movement in Lin Mansion, and he was afraid that today's banquet would have a good show.
"Lord Xu Xiang, this is a peerless beauty that I specially searched for from the barbarian country, look, my lord." A six-rank junior official took the opportunity to come forward and whispered in Xu Zhou's ear.
Xu Zhou nodded lazily, looking not very interested, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his gaze was directly empty.
The official was not annoyed, staggered slightly, clapped his hands, and immediately a small servant led a beautiful woman in.
I saw that this beauty had a scarf hanging on her face, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were full of tears, and she looked at Xu Zhou pitifully.
At this time, Xu Zhou's interest came completely, and he slowly paced forward, stretched out his hand and touched the beauty's eyes, and the essence appeared, "You have a heart." ”
The official laughed twice, bowed slightly, and said very flatteringly: "It's good if the prime minister likes it." ”
"I took the gift." Xu Zhou said, picked up the beauty with one hand, and sat back on the chair.
The beauty Xu was beaten, glanced at the official timidly, sat down beside Xu Zhou softly, obediently picked up the grapes, peeled them, and fed them to Xu Zhou with her fingertips.
