Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, still pretended not to know Chen Shi, and as soon as he heard the Western bell ringing, he hurriedly got up and bowed his hand to a few nobles with big bellies and round waists: "I'm sorry everyone, the auspicious time has come, and I have to preside over the happy event of the elder."

Gong Yonggu walked towards Chen Letou as he spoke, glanced at him and hurriedly entered the main hall in front of him.
At this time, the dignitaries also came over and said, "I should also take out the congratulatory gifts prepared for the elder." β
With that, these people ordered their respective servants to carry the congratulatory gifts, and Chen Shi also followed with some petty officials.
At this time, the person in charge of recording the gift list was Wei Guangwei's protΓ©gΓ© Ju Bangliang, who is now Taichang Temple.
When Ju Bangliang saw that it was Shangshu Shilang coming, he smiled and said hello, of course, the same is true for the wealthy businessmen who give generous gifts;
However, when I saw some officials who were six or seven grades and very shabby, they didn't have such a good attitude.
When Chen Leper walked over, this Ju Bangliang also had a cold face: "What is the official position, who is the surname, and how much gift money is given." β
"Academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering, review title of Hanlin Academy, plus the rank of Wailang of the Ministry of Official Household Affairs Chen Shi", Chen Letou said, and the official wearing a five-grade regular uniform behind him couldn't help but sneer:
"As soon as the stinky craftsman who was able to live in Hanlin by pleasing His Majesty by playing tricks and tricks, he is also embarrassed to come here, put the gift money here, let's go quickly, just how much can your congratulatory gift of a few taels of wages be worth, not enough to buy a bowl of bird's nest porridge."
"It's not a few taels of wages", Chen Letou is as his name, although he is good utilitarian and loves to compare wealth, but his character is really very, and he was busy arguing, and put the brocade box in front of Ju Bangliang: "This is the true work of Fan Kuan's "Traveling in the Mountains and Streams" in the Song Dynasty, which has the seal of Li Wenzhenggong, the first assistant of the Zhengde Dynasty cabinet, and the inscription of Xu Huating, the first assistant of the Jiajing Dynasty cabinet, absolutely genuine, such a gift is worthy of the identity of the elder of the pavilion?" β
Ju Bangliang opened the "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" and looked at it a few times according to what Chen Leper said, and then admitted that it was genuine, and at the same time showed a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly smiled: "Naturally worthy, naturally worthy, this old man deserves to be seated!" β
This Ju Bangliang saluted Chen Shi, and personally took Chen Shi into the private room of the inner room.
Here, the five-grade official retreated embarrassedly, threw the fake Song version of the ancient book he found from the stall into the pool, and then left in a huff on the grounds that he was unwell.
Here, Chen Letou was the only person with a five-rank official position sitting in this private room full of friends, and no one talked to him, he was also happy, and when he saw that Wei Ge Lao, who was older than himself, actually worshiped a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he couldn't help but show disdain.
At one time, after the old worship hall of Wei Ge was completed, he came to the inner room to congratulate, and when he congratulated, there were countless officials who gave gifts, which was called a gift for Mrs. Ru, who had just entered the Wei Mansion, but in fact, it was also to tie up Wei Guangwei.
Although Wei Guangwei knew that His Majesty was watching from above now, he couldn't help but accept it, and while saying thank you, he pretended to be happy to comment on these congratulatory gifts.
Because it is nominally given to Mrs. Ru, the congratulatory gifts are mostly gold and silver jewelry, but since it is in the inner room, it is either a dignitary or a huge rich, and the shots are naturally not cheap.
If it is difficult to enter Wei Guangwei's eyes, it is difficult to be novel.
Moreover, Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, took the initiative to comment on Wei Guangwei at this time, and when the Huizhou giant businessman who was stranded in the capital just took out a box of four finely carved hostas of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, he heard Gong Yonggu babble:
"Tsk, this kind of color, your boss Long is also embarrassed to take it out, not to mention that this jade is not a good jade, the color is obviously dull, even this subtlety is not enough, the contemptible people were fortunate to be in the palace the day before yesterday to be entertained by His Majesty, and I saw that the hairpin on the head of the queen mother is a jasmine, the color is moist, the texture is good, needless to say, it is still shining."
Zhu Youxiao, who was listening to Gong Yonggu's blind break in the attic, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, because what Gong Yonggu said was just a handful of plastic jewelry with phosphor powder that he gave to Zhang Yan, and the trinkets that could be sold in the Yiwu small market for more than ten yuan in modern times, but now it has been blown into a world treasure by Gong Yonggu, so he Zhu Youxiao can't help but feel funny.
This is called Boss Long and has a reputation for showing talent, and the big Hui merchant is also a little embarrassed and sneered: "Master Ma is a relative of the emperor, and he has naturally seen more treasures than us, and there is no need for the student to hold it in front of you. β
Zhu Youxiao was stunned, he didn't expect that this big Hui merchant would be so tyrant that he could send 10,000 taels at one time, which also shows that the original four gentlemen's hostas were not cheap, otherwise they would not have taken them out, and he couldn't help but secretly think: "The court is so poor, why are there so many rich people who spend so much money on the earth." β
"Boss Long is arrogant", after Gong Yonggu praised him, then several dignitaries and giants took out gifts, most of them were also extraordinary, but they were basically devalued by Gong Yonggu, forcing these people to directly slap Gong Yonggu in the face with silver.
But Gong Yonggu didn't care at all, and still thought that Lao Tzu was a relative of the emperor and the country, and he had read countless treasures, so none of you wanted to fool me.
It wasn't until everyone finished offering gifts that Chen Leper walked over with a silver mirror with a diamond flower: "Xiaguan Chen Shi, personally made a gift for Mrs. Ru of the Pavilion Elder, and asked the Pavilion Elder and Mrs. Ru to smile." β
"You are a little five-rank official, how did you get in, you won't sell your ancestral property to the pawn for the sake of the old man of the Pavilion, I want to see what kind of gifts you can come up with."
Gong Yonggu is now simply the embodiment of a poisonous tongue, so he pretended not to know this Chen Leper, and as soon as he came up, he looked down on people and mocked Chen Leprosy.
When the others saw Gong Yonggu like this, they all chuckled, and from the obscene and sloppy appearance of Chen's leprosy head, they felt that this person should also be ridiculed by Gong Yonggu.
Chen Letou now hated this Gong Fuma, who had been pretending to be here, into his bones, and he didn't have a good face to look at him, but just put the silver mirror wrapped in red silk cloth on the desk: "I didn't give anything, just a mirror." β
"Yo he!"
Without waiting for Gong Yonggu to open the brush, the boss of the local tyrant dragon just now drank it first, and said with a smile: "This lord is invited, dare to ask you whether this mirror is the peach leaf mirror used by Zhao Feiyan in the previous dynasty or the plum blossom mirror used by Princess Wencheng and Qin Tubo before?" β
"Neither", Chen Letou replied very truthfully.
