Chapter 170: A gilded invitation

PS: Yesterday Yuguo's birthday!!

Prince Gong, that old boy invited me to a banquet? I'm afraid this is a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and he didn't have a good heart, right? Zhou Xiaocao thought about it, and his friendship with Prince Gong's Mansion was only as small as the size of a sesame mung bean.

First of all, he had a little bit of friendship with the little prince Liu Minghui, and then he came to the capital by himself, and first saw Prince Gong Liu Haobi who pretended to be B, and then he was inexplicably calculated by them.

What are they doing this to me?

Zhou Xiaocao couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that they want me to be their son-in-law?

Zhou Xiaocao's eyes lit up. This guy became the son-in-law of the Feng family, and he was addicted to it. But after thinking about it, it's not right, to be their son-in-law, where is it good to be the emperor's son-in-law? That Princess Minjun is still in good shape.

But these are all assumptions, and the true intentions of their father and son will probably not be known until they get there.

Zhou Xiaocao took the invitation card handed over by Steward Liu, took it in his hand and looked at it, and was immediately startled.

Damn, it's gilded!

Don't say it, this hot is definitely real gold. How can you deceive people with fake gold? You say, don't you?

Zhou Xiaocao pointed to the golden words on the invitation and said, "Mr. Liu." ”

Steward Liu hurriedly lowered his head and said humbly, "Master, what do you command?" ”

These days, although Zhou Xiaocao, the owner, is not at home, but what kind of person Feng Yulan is, Steward Liu still knows very well. The same. Feng Yulan also saw how he treated his subordinates. The Feng family used to have housekeepers. Now they have all been freed from their status as official slaves and have all been released. The old man Feng Zigui didn't take any of them away, took the 10,000 taels of silver given to him by his daughter, and started his own business. Then in this way, there will be two housekeepers in the Zhou Mansion. Feng Yulan is not favoritism, the previous housekeeper was the internal housekeeper, and the old man Liu's father and son became the external housekeeper.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Feng Yulan's mind is no less meticulous than that of Xu Mei.

What is the capital? Dignitaries gathered. Wealthy businessmen and giants gather, all kinds of talents together. Such a place, such a character, the housekeeper who used to be in Cangzhou, can he handle it? Besides, he used to be in contact with some businessmen and subordinate staff of local officials, and the capital is full of high-ranking officials, so he has to find a housekeeper who can handle it.

Feng Yulan arranged it like this, so as not to deprive the old housekeeper of his power. Let the old people chill; Coming can also allow Old Housekeeper Liu to be in charge of foreign affairs full-time, and he doesn't have to pay attention to the sundries in the house, so as not to be distracted. To each his own.

Because of Feng Yulan, Old Housekeeper Liu was also very respectful to Zhou Xiaocao.

Zhou Xiaocao pointed to the words on the invitation card and said, "Did you see it?" It's gilded. It's gold! ”

Old housekeeper Liu felt a lot of slander in his heart, of course this is gold. The royal prince, not golden. Can you get it?

I only heard Zhou Xiaocao continue: "You go, ask someone to scrape off all the gold on it, but you must not waste this!" ”

The corners of Old Butler Liu's mouth twitched, how do you feel that the male and female hosts in this house should be changed! You see, Feng Yulan, as the main mother, is generous, and the women do not let the eyebrows be shaved; This week, Xiaocao, alas, this bit of gold is eye-catching? It's all scraped down, and there may not be half a tael of gold!

Old housekeeper Liu had to give Zhou Xiaocao a bit of science, and carefully explained: "Master! We can't move this invitation. When you go to the palace for a banquet in three days' time, they will verify your identity. And this invitation will be the voucher at that time. ”

Oh, Zhou Xiaocao understands now.

"So, if I didn't have this invitation, I wouldn't have been able to enter the gate of Prince Gong's mansion?"

Old Butler Liu nodded and said, "So to speak. ”

Zhou Xiaocao said disdainfully: "Cut!" I thought they were rich enough to drag! Take a gilded invitation, but it turned out to be just a sight, and it will be recycled in the future! Cut, what a big-tailed wolf! ”

Steward Liu was in a cold sweat, and said in his heart What is this called a wolf with a big tail? This is the specification of people as a prince!

I heard Zhou Xiaocao continue: "What, in the future, let's also get some such invitations, which are gilded, anyway, they still have to be recycled!" ”

Old housekeeper Liu hurriedly said: "No, master, this is not good!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao tilted his head and said, "Why not?" ”

Old housekeeper Liu had to patiently explain: "That's like this, master! There is a rule in this court that the court members above the third rank, as well as the titles of royal relatives and counts and above, can use gilded invitations. Sir, you are a little short of specifications, so you can't use a gilding invitation. ”

Zhou Xiaocao is a little out of specification, he is very out of specification, and he is 108,000 miles wrong.

Three-product master? He, Zhou Xiaocao, is not an official; Royalty? Does that knowing the prince count? As for the title, I don't know what kind of title it is? It must be lower than the duke

Zhou Xiaocao didn't want to stalk on such an issue, and said: "Let's see what kind of invitation this is, damn it, it still needs to be recycled, let's just spend two nights with gold." ”

Old housekeeper Liu's head is full of black lines, and he dares to love this one who is still thinking about that little bit of gold!

opened the invitation, but it turned out that the outside was just a gilded cover, and inside there was a white cooked xuan, with a few lines of small characters written in small letters: "I am scheduled to hold a family banquet on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and I hope to patronize it at that time." The inscription is: "Liu Yan, the king of Guangping County, is invited to extend the Ming Dynasty." ”

It seems that this is still given to him by Liu Minghui, not the Prince Gong of the sassy bag. It's just, what are they looking for me to do at their family banquet? Do you really want me to be a door-to-door son-in-law? It's not like, on the way to Taihang Mountain, didn't you send someone to kill me?

Zhou Xiaocao threw the invitation card to Steward Liu: "Okay, just notify me in three days!" A broken palace, what kind of family banquet, and invited me to go, I was really full! ”

Steward Liu on the side listened to the waterfall sweat!

Prince Gong's Mansion, that's called the Broken Palace? At other people's family banquets, all the people invited were relatives and friends, I don't know how many people cut their heads, and begged grandpa to tell grandma to let people take themselves with them when they went, so as to take this opportunity to get in touch with Prince Gong's mansion. It's just like you, so you say that people are broken palaces, and you are full of food and support for other people's family banquets, right? I really don't know how this master's brain grows, and the angle from which he thinks about problems is not the same as that of normal people.

Steward Liu was just about to leave, but saw the original housekeeper Qiu Fu coming over with Scar Sanjie.

Zhou Xiaocao has always been very puzzled, you said that you are a housekeeper, what is your name, what is the name of the hate, what do you want to call the rich, do you have a grudge against the rich? In fact, people's surnames are pronounced qiu, not chou, as for the rich character in the name, isn't that one of the favorite words of businessmen? Feng Zigui gave him this name at the beginning, which was not out of line.

Zhou Xiaocao asked, "Steward Qiu, what are you bringing them here for?" ”

Qiu Fu bent down and said: "Master Qiqi, these three people have to say that they are old masters, and they want to come to our house to work, look at this"

As soon as he said this, Steward Liu, the foreign affairs housekeeper, was not easy to leave, standing there, together with Qiu Fu, looking at Zhou Xiaocao's face.

The three scars took a few steps forward together, bowed down and said, "Zhou Gongzi, after the three of us came back, I didn't see the palace and were driven out." The three of us thought, we won't do anything else, but to show you the home, there are still three or two. No, the three of us brothers are here. ”

Zhou Xiaocao looked at them and suddenly smiled: "Okay, you have to pass the guò exam before you can stay here." ”

Scarface was surprised: "Exam? What exams? (To be continued......)
