Xu Hongji is still very confident in himself, although he was hit by Liu Yuan in Yangzhou, but after this period of retreat, he slowly regained his former pride.

The main reason is that he figured it out, Liu Yuan is just a small businessman who makes a living from a cheap business, and he may occasionally have an outburst of inspiration, or find some strange poems and wonderful sentences in some nameless ancient scrolls, in fact, it is not a problem, he can be known as "Cai Gao Jiudou" in the north full of talents, and occupy the reputation of the first talent, and it is not by blowing, otherwise, only with his old father is only a deacon of the ancestral hall of the Ministry of Rites, how can even the Qinghe Cui family take the initiative to throw an olive branch and recruit himself as a son-in-law.

Stubborn people are like this, once they find a reason for themselves, the self-confidence will come back immediately, although there is still a little scruple about Liu Yuan's crooked talent, but the concept of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" is deeply rooted in Xu Hongji's heart, and he is extremely disdainful of those who are engaged in cheap business.

So, as soon as they met, they immediately kept their distance from Liu Yuan.

In the face of this kind of strange nerd, Liu Yuan was a little speechless, seeing that Liu Yuan was speechless, Xu Hongji thought that he was talking about the weakness of the other party, and he was secretly proud in his heart, and when he thought that there were beauties and wealth waiting for him in Cui's mansion, he ignored Liu Yuan and walked straight towards Cui's mansion, secretly brewing a masterpiece in his heart, because his future father-in-law, Cui Lian, the second master of the Cui family, likes good poetry the most.

"Happy New Year, Auntie"

"Happy New Year, Auntie"

"Auntie, I wish you all the best."

Xu Hongji hadn't walked to the front of Cui's Mansion yet, and those men and house slaves were all smiling, nodding, and smiling like a flower.

This is the benefit of being a human being, Xu Hongji has a strong sense of superiority in his heart, Cui Fu is the head of the corporal clan in the world, and I don't know how many people want to take refuge but have no way. He is just a scholar, and he has not even obtained fame, but he can't enter the Cui Mansion where others can't squeeze their heads, not only can he come and go freely, but he can also show his dignity by looking at these minions to please him.

Although he looks down on these minions, he didn't have a good face in the past, but seeing them behave so well, and besides, it's almost the New Year, and he should be rewarded with a small amount of money. Xu Hongji took out a bag full of copper coins from his waist and said proudly: "Come, give a reward." ”

"Ah, auntie"

As soon as Xu Hongji took out the money bag, the faces of the few house slaves guarding the gate changed greatly. rushed over all of a sudden, still calling my aunt or something. Xu Hongji thought to himself. The next person is the next person, give a little money and wagging his tail and begging for mercy, and flock over, for fear that he will walk slowly and have no share, he really has no future, and he thinks like that in his heart. However, in Cui's Mansion, Xu Hongji didn't dare to be too arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Slow down, slow down." Both, both. ”

took out a handful of copper coins, and just wanted to give a reward, but he didn't expect those people to ignore him and rush past him at once

"Auntie, be careful."

"It's like, I almost slipped, and now it's snowing, and the ground is slippery."

"Don't clean up that old man, don't worry, aunt, I'll give you a slap in the face for you later."

Xu Hongji was alone at the door with a handful of copper coins, standing like a wax man, there seemed to be two crows flying over his head, not to mention how embarrassing, but he didn't expect a flattering sound behind him, turned his head and looked, and couldn't help but explode: several house slaves really surrounded Liu Yuan and asked for warmth, some people gently brushed off the snow on his clothes, and some people bent down and took off Liu Yuan's shoes to clean up the snow inside, it was obvious that it was snowy just now, Liu Yuan accidentally slipped a little, and the house slaves were there to support him.

Dare to nod and say hello just now, not at himself, but just by himself.

Xu Hongji was angry all of a sudden, his dignified Cui family's aunt was here, and these Tian Shenu turned a blind eye and ran to help a businessman who was doing cheap business, what else is it called, call him aunt?

Xu Hongji was so angry that his face turned red, and he pointed at those house slaves and scolded loudly: "Blind your dog eyes, he is just a cheap businessman, my aunt and I are here, I just have no rules, see if I don't report to Master Cui, let the board break your dog's legs." ”

An old man with a little weak legs and feet walked up to Xu Hongji and whispered: "Aunt, please stop being angry, you are the second aunt, and Liu Xiaowei, the third aunt, has been engaged to the daughter of the third master, and exchanged Geng posts, at that time, the invitation was still small to Xu's house, but at that time, you were studying hard behind closed doors, maybe you forgot it." ”

Invitation?

Xu Hongji remembered that when he had just retreated and studied hard, there was a 100-day banquet for his relative's son on the first day, and he wanted to invite himself to let his son get talented, and he was so annoyed that he ordered his subordinates, no matter which wedding card, they would all be withheld, and there was no need to give it to himself, because he had to study hard behind closed doors, and he didn't know that the most favored Cui Mengyao was married.

However, Xu Hongji didn't care about this matter now, but said in surprise: "What did you say just now, Captain?" What is he? Captain? ”

The old man nodded happily and said: "Yes, the captain of Zhaowu on the sixth grade, the emperor personally sealed it, and he also specially allowed the aunt to wear a crimson official uniform and a silverfish bag." ”

What the? The six-rank official also specially allowed him to wear a crimson official uniform and a silverfish bag? Xu Hongji's eyes were as big as a bull's eye all of a sudden, he was a deacon of the Ministry of Rites, and he was extremely familiar with the etiquette and law.

It's only been more than half a year, a small businessman who is a cheap businessman, not only hugged the beauty, the emperor personally sealed it, and became a six-grade captain in one fell swoop, but also more than two systems, wearing a crimson official uniform, wearing a silverfish bag, oh my God, what a big favor this is, for a while, even Xu Hongji was dumbfounded, shook his head, thinking that he was dreaming?

"Auntie, aunt, you're fine, right?" The old man asked cautiously.

"It's okay" Xu Hongji stretched out the handful of copper coins in his hand to the old man: "Promise, I will reward you for the New Year." ”

"Yes, yes, Aunt Xie rewards, Aunt Xie rewards." The old man nodded and smiled and accepted the reward.

Xu Hongji said in his heart, this old man has seen a lot of people and is sophisticated, and he knows that he has an unlimited future, so he specially came to please himself, unlike those few house slaves, who seem to have no one in their eyes. There is only that guy from a cheap business in his eyes.

But Xu Hongji hadn't finished thinking about it, but he saw that after the old man received the copper coin respectfully, he didn't look at it, put it in his arms casually, and shouted as he walked: "Auntie, you have nothing to do, just now the old slave's legs and feet are not good, so he came slowly, you guys, put your hands and feet lightly, don't damage your aunt."

Xu Hongji felt. It's like the cold winter wax moon, which makes people split their heads and cover their faces and pour a basin of cold water.

It's just that they are all uncles, I thought that there would be people who value themselves, and I knew that I had a bright future, but I didn't expect to be the only old man who came up. It's also because of the lack of dexterity in the legs and feet, and I see that there is really no one to deal with me. That's what I came up with. Especially after receiving the reward, the action of casually stuffing it into his arms without looking at it deeply hurt Xu Hongji's heart.

Soon, he understood where the difference in treatment was:

"Yo, Golden Bean? My aunt is so polite. ”

"My aunt really has nothing to say about the little one"

"It's, it's just, it's so generous."

"Auntie. Auntie, I, I, I thank Auntie"

Xu Hongji turned his head to look. I saw Liu Yuan take out a money bag, holding Huang Chengcheng's golden beans and sending them out, those house slaves surrounded him, smiling like flowers, constantly complimenting and plattering, and there was no one around him, and he was secretly envious, but his face still pretended to be disgusted, and he scolded in a low voice: "Grandstanding, hum." ”

I didn't bother to be a foil here, strode inside, with the comparison of Liu Yuan's golden beans, I couldn't take my bag of copper coins on the table, it was rare to be generous once, and I casually gave it to the guards who couldn't move casually in front of the door: "You take it and divide it." ”

"Aunt Xie" The guards are mostly from military backgrounds, and they are not as good at speaking as Menzi, Xu Hongji changed a few words with a big bag of copper coins, and he was a little unhappy, but he was helpless, and walked straight inside with a gloomy face.

The first time the two aunts clashed, they were defeated, but they were still completely defeated by the person they wanted to defeat the most and couldn't afford to lose.

Liu Yuan doesn't have any shelf, plus the recent prosperity of wealth, Xiaoniang also has the heart to build momentum for Liu Yuan, abandon the silver beans, and change to gold beans, in this way, it is very popular with those subordinates, in fact, Liu Yuan just got off the carriage at this time, those sharp-eyed doormen saw that he was rewarding, it was a golden bean, one by one, can you not do everything to please you?

scattered a circle of golden beans, received countless blessings, and refused the kindness of a house slave to carry himself into the mansion, explaining that he was just slipping and there was no big problem, so with a smile on his face, Shi Shiran walked into Cui's mansion.

If it weren't for the rules of the head of the family, these family slaves would want to open the middle door and let Liu Yuan swagger into Cui's mansion, compared with Xu Hongji's treatment, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

After Xu Hongji and Liu Yuan's two uncles entered, those menzi slaves immediately started talking in small voices:

"Good guy, they all say that Aunt Liu is generous, it's really blown, and the golden beans are five dollars to say the least, and the brothers are also a small fortune."

"That's, that's, you don't know what to do that day, the big housekeeper personally sent someone to send him more than a dozen boxes of things, which were flattened and crooked, and then the fourth brother who had a share of carrying things came back and said, tsk, those dozen boxes, all gold and silver."

"I also heard about this, it is said that he came up with the idea, and the old man made a lot of money."

"It's really more cowardly than others, and the goods have to be thrown away, that Aunt Xu, who usually has high eyes and nostrils facing the sky, doesn't treat us as people at all, and is usually extremely stingy, and the rewards are all given copper coins, and they all regard the subordinates of our Cui Mansion as asking for food."

"Huh, don't make a noise, don't talk about this kind of thing here, I guess you don't know the way, he is a petty official of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is a good thing, stubborn, originally a Qingshui Yamen, usually clear and high, and don't want the money that should be collected, and there is a large family to raise, it is strange to be generous."

"Exactly, my Lao Tzu taught that if you are loyal and upright, you must beg for food in the end; Treacherous and cunning, fried and fried. ”

After whispering for a while, the minions of this family dispersed, but they were all overjoyed, and touched the golden beans from time to time, for fear of falling. (To be continued.) )
