Chapter 39 I don't know that calamity is coming
After a rain, the weather became unusually clear. The sky was clear, not even a trace of clouds.
Zhong and Fu Yu drove all the subordinates out of the house, and the specially customized sandalwood box was placed on the table, with the seven treasures of the Buddhist family embedded on the face.
"Tsk, this box alone cost hundreds of taels of silver." Zhong sighed and said, "But who made the things here expensive!" ”
The gift they were going to give to King Yong was a Buddha bone relic, which was indeed a heavy gift in the Great Xia Kingdom, which was a heavy Buddha.
In fact, the reason why the Zhong family has the confidence to come to the capital is also because of this thing. Because it's hard to find, and you can't necessarily buy it with money.
Gao Zhao hasn't come to the Fu family since the last time he came, but just sent someone from the Gao Mansion to pass the word, saying that he had already greeted the housekeeper of the Yongwang Mansion, and asked Fu Yu to give the things directly to the housekeeper when he arrived.
Fu Yu and his wife read the gift over and over again, and then put Fu Yu's name card very solemnly.
After reciting a few words, the Buddha closed the box.
Then he called Fu Chengze and the housekeeper in, and told them to be sure to deliver the things well.
Fu Chengze and the housekeeper went out, and when they were halfway there, they heard someone calling him, and turned their heads to see that it was Su Haoyi calling him at the door of a tea house.
Fu Chengze didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got off the horse and walked over.
"Fu Dashao, this is going to Yongwang's Mansion?" Su asked in a low voice.
Fu Chengze nodded, he had nothing to hide from Hao Su's kindness.
"There are a few words to say below, which is what Gao Gongzi meant." Su said kindly: "I have a seat, let's come in and talk." ”
Fu Chengze did not doubt him, and followed Su Haoyi into the door of the tea house, and the housekeeper was waiting outside.
Su Haoyi paid attention to what Fu Chengze was holding in his hand, she knew what it was, because when she was with Fu Chengxun before, she had heard him mention it after drinking.
"Fu Dashao, are you a little nervous? Come for a cup of tea. Su kindly poured a cup of tea for Fu Chengze.
Fu Chengze smiled a little embarrassedly, he was indeed a little nervous, and he was so thirsty.
After drinking a glass, Su Haoyi poured him another glass. Then he told him some things that he needed to pay attention to when he went to the palace, and Fu Chengze was very grateful.
Then Su Haoyi missed and spilled half a cup of tea on Fu Chengze's placket.
Fu Chengze hurriedly wiped it, and Su Haoyi apologized again and again.
Fortunately, it is hot now, and it can be dried quickly.
"Fu Dashao is really sorry, I am to blame for this." Su said kindly: "Why don't I take you to the ready-to-wear store next to you to buy clothes." ”
"No need, the color of my clothes is also on the Chu side, not obvious." Fu Chengze said: "What's more, there are still big things to do, so there will be no delay." When the matter is done, I must invite Su Gongzi's family to be a guest, and I will appreciate my face when the time comes. ”
"Well said, well said." Su nodded with a smile.
Besides, Fu Chengze and the housekeeper came to the door of Yongwang's Mansion and explained their intentions to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper who guarded the door went in to find the housekeeper.
After the housekeeper came out, he asked directly: "You are the people who were introduced by the housekeeper of the Gao Mansion?" ”
Fu Chengze hurriedly agreed, took the box in his hand, and said, "I'm sorry for you to send this to the prince." ”
As he spoke, he stuffed a purse into the butler's hand, which naturally contained gold and silver.
"You go back and wait for news, the prince will enter the palace at this time, and he won't come back until the evening." The palace steward said.
Fu Chengze had no choice but to go back obediently.
And Fu Chengxun ran to find Gao Zhao early in the morning, and waited in front of the Gao Mansion until after noon before Jixing came out.
"Let's go, let's drink!" Ji Xing said: "Let's not drink in the city today, go outside the city!" ”
Where will Fu Chengxun have opinions? Gao Zhao said that it was equivalent to a holy decree, so he nodded and followed behind, and asked, "Aren't Hachiro going together today?" ”
"He's busy, he doesn't have time." Ji Xing said: "Tell your entourage when they go home, don't worry your father and mother." ”
So only the two of them, along with a few servants of the high house, went out of the city.
The housekeeper who returned to the house of King Yong took the things sent by Fu Chengze into the house, followed his henchmen and asked, "What is it here?" The prince said that he was not allowed to accept gifts. ”
"The giver said that it was a Buddha bone relic," the butler's finger tapped lightly on the table: "If it is something else, it must not be accepted, but the prince made a wish to offer one hundred and eight relics to the empress dowager in his early years, and there is still one missing, isn't this just right?" The things of Buddhism are the most fateful, and they are all sent to us, can we not take them? It is a real sin to miss out. What's more, the housekeeper of the Gao family greeted me and always wanted to sell him face. ”
"What is the giver asking for?" The bride asked, "Can the prince agree?" ”
"I'm not confused yet, the person who gave the gift is named Fu Yu, and he came to Beijing to fill the vacancy. If you want to stay in the capital and have no way, you want to come and beg the prince. The housekeeper laughed and said, "Do you still need to trouble the prince for this little thing?" We'll do it for him privately. ”
"What do you mean?" The henchman seems to understand something.
"The surname Fu just wants to be an official, as long as he does it, it doesn't matter who says it? As long as I present this treasure to the prince and fulfill his old man's long-cherished wish, this is a great credit. The housekeeper said and opened the box, took out Fu Yu's name card and put it aside.
The box was covered with brocade, and in the center was a small bone.
The housekeeper looked at this bone and didn't speak for a long time, but his henchman was a little panicked, he had seen a lot of relics, but this didn't seem like a real thing.
"Butler, why don't you call a few gentlemen to come and have a look?" The henchman asked with a sigh of relief.
There are many guests in Yongwangfu, and many of them understand this.
The housekeeper didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and the henchman hurriedly went out to find someone.
Several Qingke ministers were called in and looked around the box for a long time.
They all agreed that it was not a human bone, but rather a dog's bone, which had been burned before.
"This ......, this Fu Yu is really bold, dare to use this thing to fool you!" After the guests went out, the henchman said to the butler: "Thank you for watching it in advance, otherwise it will be strange if you send it to the prince and not cure your sin." ”
"This bastard surnamed Fu is really a lard! Dare to come to the prince's mansion to play tricks! I don't know how to call him dead! ”
"Could it be the housekeeper of the Gao family......" The henchman stopped talking.
"This is not necessarily, I still know that Gao Jian is a person, he is just helping to pull a line, and he will definitely not really get involved, who would have thought that this bastard surnamed Fu would dare to play this trick?!" The housekeeper hates.
"The villain understands, this jade is bold, and he has to be punished well." Confidant.
"Although he is hateful, our prince is kind-hearted and will never allow us people to careless of human life. This Fu Yu doesn't have to be pursued too much, just dismiss and never use it. The butler sighed, and said with a little unwillingness: "I can't do it because his stinky fly has tarnished the good name of our prince's kindness." ”
Although King Yong is the regent, he likes Buddha by nature and does not like to kill. Therefore, although the housekeeper hated Fu Yu, he didn't dare to do too much, in case it reached the ears of the prince, he didn't have to be a housekeeper.
At this time, the Fu family was still dreaming of being promoted, and they didn't know that a catastrophe was coming.
