Chapter 133: The Emperor's Gift
Jia Xiaosiji would observe the words and looks, and found that Daniel Zhang was a little nervous, and said: "Lord Xiao Zhang is also busy with official business, and Uncle doesn't have to care." ”
Some of the officials present sighed sincerely: "No wonder Father-in-law Jia can compete with Father-in-law Cao at a young age, and he can indeed be a man." ”
Some were even more in awe of Zhang Ning: "Even Father-in-law Jia has to look at Lord Zhang's face, let alone me?" ”
The eunuchs of Datong's prison army have always been flying and domineering, and Daniel Zhang was not less angry with him, and he had an instinctive fear of eunuchs, and he was even more panicked at this time, and said: "Father-in-law, please wait, the old man will go and call the dog over." ”
"No, no, no." Jia Xiaosi said good-naturedly: "Our family is waiting here." ”
How dare Daniel Zhang really make him wait? Hurry to find it yourself. One of the two turned around to leave, and the other wanted to stop, and they couldn't give in to each other, and when the officials were dumbfounded, Zhang Ning came.
"What's going on?"
"Son, you're here." If Daniel Zhang met a savior and received Jia Xiaosi, he was very stressed, for fear that if he was careless with a word, he would cause trouble for his son.
Jia Xiaosi said: "Congratulations to Master Zhang, our family is late, don't blame." ”
Zhang Ning nodded to his father in response, and then said to Jia Xiaosi: "There is labor." Then he greeted the officials present one by one.
The officials repeatedly: "Congratulations. ”
After some excitement, Jia Xiaosi passed the emperor's dictation, and then opened a beautiful box, which was a crystal clear jade pendant. He handed over the jade pendant.
Zhang Ning took it and muttered silently: "I'm not a woman, what are you doing with my jade pendant?" ”
The officials present exaggerated that Ning Jian was in the emperor's heart, but their eyes were a little ambiguous. Zhang Ning couldn't see the thoughts of these guys, and deliberately asked Jia Xiaosi: "How could Your Majesty send this official?" ”
Can you give this jade pendant casually? Zhu Qizhen is thoughtful, how can he not know that this thing can only reward harem concubines? What was his purpose in doing this?
Jia Xiaosi said: "Your Majesty originally wanted to send a set of four treasures of the study, but when he came, he wanted adults to wear only one piece of jade pendant every day." This jade pendant, I always wear it for a while and take it off, I have the heart to give this to adults, and adults can wear it in turn, right? So let the jade pendant be selected, and I felt that it was inappropriate to pick half of it, or our family felt that the adults were free and easy, and they didn't care about this, and His Majesty would send whatever he wanted. His Majesty made up his mind. ”
The emperor personally selected the gifts for Zhang Ning! The officials present all heard Jia Xiaosi's words, and they couldn't help but be thunderous. Even if the emperor wants to have fun and reward Zhang Ning, he doesn't have to choose a gift himself, let alone go to great lengths to reward him?
Zhang Ning's weight in the emperor's heart can be imagined!
Some officials who didn't want to give gifts, but saw that everyone gave them, and had to be perfunctory at will, a cold sweat instantly broke out on their backs, I wonder if Zhang Ning will go through the gift book? If you see that the gift you give is too ordinary, will you pick your own thorns?
Daniel Zhang looked at his son with a puzzled face, he had two titles, a knighthood, an official position, and a shop under his name, and his income was good among the nobles. Father and son depend on each other, he has never been in Beijing, there are not many servants in the house, Zhang Ning has never been short of silver, why would he wear the same jade pendant, so that the emperor thought that he only had a jade pendant, and decided to reward him with this?
Zhang Ning couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that he will have to prepare a few more pieces to wear in turn in the future. Once you need the blessing of good luck, the jade pendant should be worn there to function, and you have to think about it.
"Your Majesty has a heart." Zhang Ning said.
Jia Xiaosi said: "I don't know if this gift can fit the hearts of adults?" His Majesty said that if this gift is not to the wishes of the adults, whatever the adults want, just go to the inner library to choose. ”
The inner treasury is the emperor's small treasury, and Zhu Qizhen is a gift from his own pocket.
The eyes of the officials present almost fell, and they can go to the treasury to pick at will, this is Dolong's favor?
Daniel Zhang was also taken aback, knowing that his son could eat well in front of the emperor, but he didn't expect to have such an iron relationship with the emperor.
"Please father-in-law reply to Your Majesty, the minister is very satisfied with this gift." Zhang Ning smiled bitterly, could it be true to open the emperor's inner library? Some things have to be done in moderation, and if you can't give a color, you can open a dyeing shop.
Jia Xiaosi pretended to be confused and said: "As long as the adults are satisfied, our family will go back to reply." Leave. ”
"My father-in-law will go after he finishes drinking and eating." Daniel Zhang rushed to keep it and handed over the purse that had been prepared long ago, and what was inside was naturally unknown to everyone present.
Jia Xiaosi refused to accept it, and said, "Uncle doesn't have to be polite. Even if our family doesn't act according to His Majesty's instructions, we have to come here, as for wine and food, then we don't need it. ”
"The courtesy of my father-in-law will not dare to accept it." Daniel Zhang handed over the gift that Jia Xiaosi had given when he came.
How can Jia Xiaosi accept it? The two pushed in front of all the officials present. Zhang Ning really didn't dare to look at it, and said, "Father, Father-in-law Jia has a lot of kindness, let's accept it." ”
"Your Excellency is right." Jia Xiaosi breathed a sigh of relief. His strength was not as strong as Daniel Zhang, and he was almost pushed by Daniel Zhang several times to stand unsteadily. He was willing to give gifts, and Daniel Zhang made him very embarrassed.
Zhang Ning took the brocade box pushed by the two from his father, didn't open it, didn't know what it contained, and beckoned to the little guy waiting under the corridor: "Give it to Qing'er." ”
Jia Xiaosi said happily: "Lord Zhang, uncle, our family farewell." He arched his hand, ignored the officials present, and turned to leave.
Daniel Zhang rushed to send it out, Jia Xiaosi was a little helpless, I hope Zhang Ning sent it himself, I have something to say to him.
Jia Xiaosi was telling the truth, Zhu Qizhen didn't let him go, he also wanted to come over, because he had something to ask Zhang Ning for help, there were many eyes and ears in the palace, and it was inconvenient to speak. Unexpectedly, Daniel Zhang's sincere fear wasted an opportunity.
Alas, for the sake of him being Lord Zhang's father, don't worry about him. Jia Xiaosi muttered to himself silently, if he wanted to rush to do everything like someone else, he would definitely have to deliver a message in front of the emperor, so that this person could not be the deputy commander-in-chief.
There are many nobles in the capital like dogs, and there are many idle people.
Daniel Zhang sent Jia Xiaosi out respectfully, and Zhang Ning and the officials present humbly gave in, sat down as the guest of honor, and gossiped. The officials flattered like a tide, Zhang Ning but did not say anything, everyone was talking lively, Daniel Zhang sent Jia Xiaosi back.
In the memory of the original owner, Daniel Zhang was a father who liked to reprimand his children in front of guests. Zhang Ning was left out in public, left the lobby on the grounds that he was busy with official business, and walked out.
Turning around the corridor, I saw the little guy who was greeting the guests at the gate coming towards him, and said: "Son, Yang Shoufu and Yang Ge Lao Lian Liao Jue are here, and the little one will go to report to the master." ”
Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong came together?
The two of them came, except for Yang Pu, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came, and their face was really big enough. Zhang Ning complained secretly and said, "By the way, tell the master, I went out." ”
The two of them came together, it wouldn't be for the sake of family, would it?
