"Young master, the housekeeper sent by Huang Yuan sent a gift, saying that he wanted to celebrate your housewarming."

Xiao Xing hurriedly came to the study and reported to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong put down the brush in his hand, raised his head without hesitation, and then said: "Accept the gifts, and then register all the things they sent, I remember that you are literate?" ”

Xiao Xing hurriedly nodded: "Yes, young master, the slave knows." ”

Xu Rong said again: "Then lead the housekeeper to the living room, and I will entertain you." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will do it."

Seeing Xiao Xingfeng walking out in a hurry, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Rong's mouth.

"These people are really well-informed, I've only been moving in for half a day, and these people know about it."

"And this timing is also very good, and the reason is even more high-sounding, and no one can say anything."

Gift-giving is a university question, not only to give the right thing, but also to find the right time, so that the recipient of the gift feels comfortable, the gift can be regarded as delivered.

At the previous meeting, the reason why Xu Rong didn't accept those things on the spot was because of some scruples.

Some things can be done, but not in front of others, and it is better to have a reason to gag them.

Just like this yellow member, giving gifts in the name of celebrating the housewarming, even if others know, it is difficult to say anything.

This is originally a matter of courtesy, a custom, is there anything wrong?

Xu Rong put down the written words, tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards the living room.

For Xu Rong now, simple boxing practice is just a warm-up and maintenance of the body's functions.

In his current state, he could only rely on the Soul Devouring Bead to improve, unless he broke through to the Blood Furnace Realm.

Therefore, Xu Rong can only work his mood now, and practicing calligraphy is a good choice.

At the same time, this is also preparing for the future, anyway, after becoming an official, this word can't be written too badly, right?

It is said that seeing words is like seeing people, and if the words are too badly written, the first impression will be too bad.

As soon as he entered the living room, Xu Rong saw the housekeeper who came to give gifts.

This is a somewhat emaciated middle-aged man, with two whiskers on his lips, and he looks very shrewd.

"I've seen Xu Zhutou."

"You're welcome, please sit down and serve tea."

Xu Rong led the housekeeper to sit down, and then said: "I'm tired of Huang Yuanwai's heart, my little housewarming joy, Huang Yuanwai sent congratulations as soon as possible, which really moved me very much, and this friendship will definitely be remembered in the future." ”

Hearing Xu Rong's words, the housekeeper immediately smiled: "The head catcher is polite, my lord and Xu Zhutou have a very happy conversation, and they are confidants, so on such an important day, it is natural to send a congratulatory gift." ”

It's all to talk about each other and be a confidant, but there is still a rhetoric on the surface.

The two of them knew this in their hearts.

Xu Rong said: "Then wait a minute, Your Excellency Lao will say hello to Huang Yuanwai on my behalf." ”

"Don't worry, I'll bring it."

Steward Shen stood up, "I have already delivered this congratulatory gift, so I won't bother the head catcher, so I will leave first." ”

"I've only been sitting for a while, so there's no need to be in such a hurry......"

Facing Xu Rong's retention, Steward Shen said: "There are still a lot of things in the house, and the master is also waiting for news, so I'd better go back as soon as possible." ”

The two of them said a few polite words, and Xu Rong sent Steward Shen out of the door.

Back in the living room, Xu Rong asked, "Xiao Xing, what did Huang Yuan deliver?" ”

"A hundred taels of gold, ten pieces of brocade, and ten fine pearls."

Xiao Xing looked at Xu Rong carefully, she thought that Xu Rong was just an ordinary deputy catcher, but now it seems that Xu Rong's identity is really unusual.

One hundred taels of gold, according to the market price, can be exchanged for about 1,500 taels of silver, brocade is not cheap, each one costs a hundred taels, and a good pearl also costs dozens, or even hundreds of taels.

In other words, the gift sent by this yellow man is worth about 4,000 taels of silver, which is a sum that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime.

And this turned out to be just a congratulatory gift for the joy of housewarming, even if she was in Xu Mo's house before, she had never seen such a pomp.

And her instinct told her that this was just the beginning.

Xu Rong was also a little surprised, he had saved up the silver for so long, and after removing the expenses during this time, he didn't have more than 4,000 taels of silver left.

And this yellow man gave a gift, and it reached this amount, which is really a big deal.

'No wonder Huo Mingjue is so anxious, and even went on the field in person, wanting to subdue me, who doesn't want this white money? ’

Xu Rong said secretly in his heart.

also understood the psychology behind Huo Mingjue's previous fierce actions.

Such a financial road, if it is taken by others, Xu Rong is also in a hurry.

'This yellow man has sent so much, it is estimated that I won Huo Mingjue neatly, and then Huo Mingjue wants to leave. ’

In the eyes of many outsiders, without Huo Mingjue, Xu Rong undoubtedly has a great increase in power, and it is naturally more worthy of investment.

Originally, maybe these wealthy businessmen wanted to spend money to buy peace and didn't want to be exploited so ruthlessly, but after seeing Xu Rong's performance and the situation in the yamen, they naturally wanted to invest.

Sure enough, as Huang Yuanwai made a start, it was clear that no one had notified him or held a banquet, but a family of wealthy businessmen came to the door one after another to give gifts.

The smallest one also gave gifts worth 2,000 taels of silver, and the total value of more than a dozen families exceeded 40,000 taels of silver, and Xu Rong was completely rich in one go.

After sending the last one away, Xu Rong looked at this large pile of gifts and couldn't help but feel emotional.

I think that when he first crossed over, he was not guaranteed day and night, but thanks to the old man and the third uncle Xu Ying to take him in, he was able to survive safely.

Now he has gained so many things in just half a day, if he is honest and fast, he will not be able to earn so much in a few lifetimes.

There's no need to be desperate, it's just a promise, a few words.

"No wonder from ancient times to the present, everyone wants to be an official, sharpen their heads and drill into the officialdom, as long as such things continue to stop, how many people can resist such a temptation?"

Xu Rong instructed: "Put these gifts in different categories and put them in the treasury." ”

Speaking of which, Xu Rong felt that he still had to recruit some people to take care of the home, otherwise he would be robbed when he was not there, and it would be miserable.

"Yes, young master."

Xiao Xing and another maid, Xiao Lan, began to get busy.

The old man on the side sighed, and said with some worry: "Today's incident is a bit high-profile, if it is known by the county order, I don't know if it will cause waves?" ”

"Master, you don't have to worry about this, Huo Mingjue did more flamboyant before, and even the means were inferior, is it okay if it's different?"
