Chapter 040: Accept
When Jiang Hu was carrying things to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, the onlookers on the road were still whispering and asking, "What is the Wenchang Marquis Mansion going to do?" ”
"Is there any good thing about giving such a big gift, and it's not a New Year's Day?"
The crowd immediately answered questions kindly: "Oh, I heard that the second son of the Marquis of Wenchang went to He Shizi's Xiguan camp to practice, and the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion is a gift of thanks!" ”
Everyone was stunned, looking at the direction in which these people were going, wasn't it the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion!
As a result, the news soon spread throughout half of the capital.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that this Wenchang Marquis Mansion would not work, but I didn't expect that it would be Qingwang Mansion and Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it seems that in this capital, there will still be his power in the next ten years." ”
Jiang Hu was a little nervous while listening to everyone's discussions.
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is notoriously difficult, and no one can get along.
It's hard to say whether this gift can be given out.
As soon as the family members of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion saw the battle at the gate, they were accustomed to closing the gate.
What Dingyuan Hou is most afraid of is to join in the fun.
When there is any trouble, he is the fastest runner.
Even the people under him have learned ten out of ten.
When he saw the vast crowd of onlookers at the door, the family was startled, and he didn't care about big or small things, in short, it was none of his business, and he hung it high.
It's just that the two huge wooden doors haven't closed for a long time, and the two guards at the door look at each other, first surprised, then panicked.
It's over, is this really coming to the door?
When they came out to take a look, they saw a burly young man wearing the costume of the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion, holding a door with one hand and forcibly blocking the door.
The two housekeepers were stunned for a while, and then they saw many people watching outside, and one of them immediately ran into the house, probably looking for the manager.
Another doorkeeper stood by the door and looked at Jiang Hu vigilantly: "People from the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion? ”
Jiang Hu nodded, pressed his foot against the gate, and then took out the name card with the seal of the prince of the Marquis of Wenchang from his arms with both hands.
The family glanced at the post, looked less vigilant, and asked, "What's the matter?" Why such a big battle? ”
Jiang Hu glanced back at the onlookers, and he didn't quite understand why there were so many onlookers.
But it is estimated that Mrs. Shizi has passed on some news, so she has attracted all those idlers in the market.
Jiang Hu turned his head expressionlessly, as if he hadn't seen anything, and said calmly: "Our second son is taken care of by He Shizi, and now he is practicing in the Xiguan camp. ”
The family Ding looked behind Jiang Hu, and sure enough, there were five gift boxes.
Generally, those who come to give gifts directly refuse, but now this is He Shizi's business, and the second son of the family has gone to Xiguan Daying, if this gift is not accepted, it is not very in line with the etiquette system, which is equivalent to making the family return favors in disguise, so it is too unpopular.
This person is sophisticated, and there are always many exquisitenesses.
The Marquis of Dingyuan must be unhappy when he found out, but the prince made a decision without authorization.
The family was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Well, please wait a moment and make a decision when our manager comes."
Jiang Hu nodded, and said, "I don't know if it's convenient for us to go in and wait?" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and gestured to the crowd of onlookers behind him.
People are strange, where people are around, they will only be surrounded more and more, and they all think that there is gold in the center of the circle to pick up, and they squeeze forward one by one.
As far as their ability to speak, there are more people watching the excitement, and the gossip is non-stop.
The family was embarrassed for a moment, afraid that blocking people at the door would cause more trouble, so he could only open the door and signal the people from the Marquis Wenchang Mansion to go in first.
Jiang Hu was afraid that he would regret it.
He walked in first, and the family members behind him hurriedly carried their things into the house.
As soon as the door was closed, the head of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion came, a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a round face and a very kind face.
It's just that as soon as he came, he stared at Jiang Hu with a straight face: "What are you doing in the Wenchang Marquis Mansion?" We never accept gifts in our house, you carry it back quickly, the imperial historians are staring at it on the street, you yourself are unlucky, what are you going to do to harm our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. ”
Jiang Hu: "......"
Jiang Hu was still expressionless, and he said again: "Our second son is taken care of by He Shizi, and now he is training in Xiguan Daying, and our Shizi wife specially asked me to send a thank you gift to express her gratitude." ”
The chief manager is no better than the family, he sneered, and said: "Since it is the second son who goes to experience, then this thank you gift should be given by the second son to our prince, whether they are gifts or favors, it is the business of the young masters, what are you Mrs. Shizi going to do?" What are you doing when you bring it to our Hou Mansion? ”
Jiang Hu paused.
Oh, this manager has two hits, Jiang Hu regretted a little that he didn't ask Mrs. Shizi to come to Xiaoli.
If Xiao Li is here, it is estimated that there will be a bunch of words to go back.
Jiang Hu thought for a moment, and then said: "This is the master's business, I am just a subordinate, but it is better for you to understand the thoughts of the masters." ”
Steward: "......."
He suspected that the young man was sarcastic about him, but he had no proof!
The boss crossed his hands on his hips and pointed to the door: "Carry it back!" We don't accept this gift! ”
Jiang Hu stood tall and strong in front of the door, standing still, he still said in that calm tone: "It's better for you to ask the person in charge of the mansion, there are treasures in this box that the Marquis of Dingyuan has been seeking for many years but can't, if you return it this time, it will be too late to regret it, and you must not be able to bear this responsibility." ”
"After all, we are subordinates who listen to the master's orders, and when this kind of thing happens, it's better not to make decisions without permission, otherwise we will delay ourselves, so why bother."
Steward: "......"
He has been working in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for decades, how can he not understand these truths.
If Jiang Hu didn't say that, he would have made the decision to drive people out, after all, the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion is no better than in the past, and if they do, they will be rushed, and they don't care what they say.
It's just that the Marquis of Dingyuan has been looking for treasures for many years but can't?
This......
The manager hesitated.
If you want to say what the treasures that Dingyuan Hou has been seeking for many years, he doesn't know what their Hou Ye likes, it is too much.
He walked up to the box, put his hands behind his back, and said, "In that case, then give you this face, open the box and let me see." ”
Jiang Hu still stood still and shook his head: "Our wife has explained, the treasure is valuable, and it needs to be inspected by the master personally, and it cannot be handled by others." ”
Steward: "......"
That's infuriating!
The chief manager pointed at Jiang Hu angrily, just wanting to drive him out.
Coincidentally, an aunt of the Marquis of Dingyuan passed by the front yard with the maid, and when she saw this noise, she heard what treasures the Marquis of Dingyuan wanted or something, so she asked the maid to come over and ask.
The little maid on one side told the maid.
When the aunt heard this, she was worried that the Hou Ye had not looked for him for a long time, and she was thinking about thinking of a way to please the Hou Ye and seek some benefits for her children.
So he hurriedly walked over and said to the manager: "Since it is the treasure that the Hou Ye is seeking, then it is left behind, Zuo is just the prince of the world who has done a good deed, and it is also appropriate for them to give gifts, so why should the chief manage embarrass them, they are just following orders." ”
The manager was hesitant, but when he heard it, it just so happened that if this treasure won the favor of the Hou Ye, everyone would be happy, if not, this thing was not left by him, and it had nothing to do with him, and someone was responsible for his happiness.
Collect it.
Jiang Hu saw that they had reached a negotiation, so he left the things, corrected the gift list, turned around and took the people away.
The speed is fast, and the manager turns his head when the person runs clean.
