Chapter 589: Can You Receive a Gift?
When Old Madam Qi heard this, she smiled very happily, "Our Shuyuan has grown up." ”
Old Man Qi also smiled, "Well, Shuyuan's idea makes sense." Don't worry, your grandmother and I have our own plans and will take care of the decency of both families. ”
Qi Shuyuan stood up and thanked, "Thank you, grandfather, grandmother." ”
It's finally out of confinement.
Liu Paner was held in the house for a whole month, and she didn't even go out.
Now out of the room, she took a deep breath and felt that she could run 800 meters in one breath.
Seeing Liu Paner wearing a single dress, Liu hurriedly passed and took a thin jacket.
"Pan'er, put it on quickly, don't freeze."
Liu Paner didn't refuse, she couldn't catch a cold, she was still breastfeeding!
"Thank you, Sister Xiaohua. It's out of confinement, and I'm comfortable. ”
Liu smiled, "So many people are waiting for you, of course you are comfortable." ”
"Fortunately, we are developed, if we are in our hometown, even eating enough is a problem, how can we be comfortable?"
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Yes, although that place is my hometown, it is really not a good place." ”
"Thank you Sister Xiaohua for taking care of me, no one will be fat in confinement, my face and stomach are meat."
"From today onwards, I want to exercise well, and I can't continue to eat and sleep, sleep and eat."
Liu shook his head, "How can you say it is so serious?" Don't treat yourself badly. Are you fatter, Yuan Qing, you don't like you anymore? ”
Liu Paner shook her head, "Whether he likes it or not, it's secondary, he's too fat, and he doesn't look good in any clothes." ”
"My jewelry, my clothes, are so beautiful. If you pair it with a bloated figure and a big pie face, no matter how beautiful your jewelry and clothes are, you will be in vain. ”
Liu smiled, "But you can't run today, walk around the yard." ”
"Well, don't run, come little by little." Liu Paner should go down, walk in the yard, look at the flowers and plants, and feel comfortable.
There are also Li Rong and Li Nan, Li Fang and Li Li in the back, accompanying Liu Paner, talking and laughing, very happy.
Li Yuanqing came back from outside and walked with Liu Pan'er.
When the children saw their father coming, they didn't disturb their parents for a walk and dispersed.
"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Liu Paner was surprised and puzzled.
Li Yuanqing frowned, "Since I got a daughter, many colleagues have to come over to participate in the full moon banquet. ”
"Originally, I wanted to get together as a family, but it didn't seem to work. If I don't do it, they will also give gifts. ”
"I asked Master Gu and Master Zhang about it, and it seems that the former commander also did something big. If I do a big job, won't I be like those people? ”
Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment, "Are you worried that after receiving the gift, you will be disliked by Your Majesty?" ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Yes, I want to be a clean official, it doesn't seem to be easy." They are all gifts from colleagues, and if they don't accept them, they don't give face. ”
Liu Paner knows how to deal with things in the court, especially those who are close to her, but she doesn't know how to deal with them.
So Liu Paner thought about it and gave Li Yuanqing advice.
"Why don't you go to the Marquis of Jinling Mansion and ask the Marquis of Jinling and the Marquis of Lanling, especially the Marquis of Lanling, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, he should know better how to do it."
When Li Yuanqing heard this, his eyes lit up, "Yes, the Marquis of Lanling is in the capital, and he is a trusted elder of His Majesty, and he also knows His Majesty's attitude towards receiving gifts." ”
"As for the Marquis of Jinling, he is a monkey spirit, and he must be very clear about the situation on this side of Jinling."
"I'm going to have someone send me a post and visit me tomorrow. Just invited them to my daughter's full moon feast. ”
Liu Pan'er nodded, "That's okay, these two people won't cheat us, if you don't understand, we'll ask." ”
"If we can accept these gifts, we will accept them. If we can't accept it, we won't accept it. ”
With his wife's enlightenment, Li Yuanqing immediately wrote a post, wanting to visit the Marquis of Lanling and the Marquis of Jinling tomorrow.
When the two marquis of the Jinling Marquis Mansion received the post, they only thought that Li Yuanqing was a heavy courtesy, and personally invited them to participate in the full moon banquet.
It wasn't until Li Yuanqing came to the door in person that they knew what was going on.
"Colleagues are still courteous and can be received. If you don't accept it, you may offend people. After all, if you don't accept gifts, it's not easy to receive gifts when someone else has something at home. ”
"Things that have existed since ancient times can't be changed by you alone. If it's just some ordinary gifts, it doesn't matter if you accept them. ”
"If it's something taboo, or something else to say, then you can't accept it."
When Li Yuanqing heard this, he asked again: "Is this a crime?" ”
The Marquis of Lanling smiled, looked at the cautious Li Yuanqing, and was not moved by money.
"It's not a crime, it's a human relationship. If you accept a gift from him and do something against the law, it is against the law. ”
"In the future, if there is something in his family, you send someone to send a gift, even if it is returned. Even if you don't pay it back, it doesn't matter, it proves that you don't want to associate with him. ”
"If you don't give an invitation, and the other party also gives a gift, then you can return a gift a few days later."
Hearing this, Li Yuanqing smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Recently, my colleagues have been happy to see me, congratulated me on my noble daughter, and asked me when I was going to hold a full moon banquet."
"Originally, I wanted to invite my relatives and friends to a few tables to eat and drink together, so I would celebrate."
"But these people often ask, and I don't know how to refuse."
"Li is a rough man, he only knew how to go into battle and fight before, and he was not proficient in the sophistication of these officialdoms."
"After some pondering, the two of us felt that we should consult our trusted elders."
"So today Yuan Qing came to the door and bothered! Please forgive me. ”
Hearing Li Yuanqing's words, the Marquis of Lanling suddenly felt that Li Yuanqing was even more able to speak, and respected him.
"If you don't understand, just ask, it's a very good quality."
"Ask more and think more, so that you don't make mistakes, and even if you make mistakes, you can know your mistakes and correct them."
"Don't worry, you can rest assured to receive gifts, it's not a big deal. Even if His Majesty knew, he would not have an opinion. ”
The Marquis of Jinling next to him smiled, "Brother Li Xian has made great contributions to His Majesty, and he has solved the big trouble for His Majesty in just half a year." ”
"Not only that, but some of the affairs of rectifying customs and coastal defense proposed by Li Xiandi are even more amazing."
"As for the things in the officialdom, you don't understand, and there is really no harm in asking more. You are so cautious, you can go further in the future. ”
The Marquis of Lanling also praised it.
After Li Yuanqing finished lunch and left, the Marquis of Lanling sighed again.
"No wonder Yuan Qing can come out, this caution, not everyone can have it?"
"At his age, with such merits, he would have started to float a long time ago, arrogant, but he didn't."
The Marquis of Jinling sighed, "I'm not as far away as Yuan Qing!" ”
Lan Linghou's eyes when he looked at his son-in-law were quite complicated, "Actually, it has not been easy for you all these years. It is rare to be able to guarantee a piece of the family business of the Linghou Mansion. ”
"After all, King Chen was eyeing Jinling at the beginning, and there were many people who were affected by King Chen. You were able to get away with it, a great blessing in misfortune. ”
Marquis Jinling nodded, "That's what my father-in-law said." Wait two years later. The son-in-law wants to take the exam. ”
The old man of Lanling Hou Qi was stunned, "Are you sure?" ”
