Chapter 109: If You Don't Accept Gifts, How Can You Progress?

Yuan Wenshao raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and turned his head to glance at Zhao Ceying, because this meant that Shen Congxing had agreed.

personally poured a glass of wine, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at the few people present.

He said earnestly: "Lao Shen, Lao Geng and I now have a family, Zhong Huai's prodigal reputation, Old Man Zhang definitely can't be willing, think about who else but you?" ”

"Alas~" Shen Congxing depressedly picked up the wine bowl and drank it all......

Gu Tingye went out to follow General Gan for a while, and when he came back, he directly removed the word Quan Zhi on the top of his head, and became the justifiable Du Yuhou.

And Yuan Wenshao, as Lao Zhao's henchman, naturally cannot be promoted slowly, and with the merit of rectifying the security of Bianjing, he has now been promoted to one level and has become the commander of the five cities.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and they can finally move to the main hall justifiably.

As the number one confidant, Rong Bao naturally followed the chicken dog to heaven, and he also changed to an eight-grade hat on his head, of course, he still did the original work.

He walked in from the outside with a happy face, took out a piece of paper from his bosom and put it on the table.

"Childe, this is a congratulatory gift list sent by all the heads and faces in Beijing, as well as the adults of the Terracotta Division, and the things have been sent to the mansion, do you want to take a look?"

"Well, let it go!" Saying that, Yuan Wenshao didn't even look at it, and continued to drink tea calmly.

The welcome and send-off in the officialdom cannot be cut off in any dynasty or generation, even if the dynasty has a high salary and a low salary, but if there is no old capital in the family, just inviting a banquet to eat and drink is a lot of expenses, not to mention all kinds of favors and gifts.

Yuan Wenshao never thought of getting out of the mud and being a poor official like Hai Rui, because that would become the only husband in the officialdom.

If he doesn't take it, others won't be happy to take it, so how can Shangguan take it? If you don't take it, how can the big guy make progress, so the gift should be received and received.

No matter what you want to do, there must be a group of people around you, and what connects this group of people is interests, and they can only be interests.

Take cleaning up the splashes on the streets, if there were no actual benefits to follow, how could the soldiers and horses in the cities work so hard?

As an official in the imperial court, the reality will force you to take it, so that you have to take it, but Yuan Wenshao himself also wants to take it, and he is not worried about using it if he is not greedy for money, and sometimes it is not necessarily a bad thing to hand over a little handle appropriately.

After drinking the tea leisurely, Yuan Wenshao looked down at the gift list, Shu embroidery, mink, jade, house, field property, etc., which are roughly worth forty or fifty thousand yuan.

Retracted his gaze with satisfaction, nodded and then instructed: "Rongbao, this time there are people with a face in Beijing, and those who have given gifts are enough!" ”

"If you didn't send it, you give me a note, I want to see who didn't send it, let's know it!"

"I've already written it down~" Rong Bao nodded.

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand at him, signaling him to go down first, and then picked up the gift list himself, and secretly remembered the names of those who had given generous gifts.

It's not that I deliberately wear small shoes, but that I really broke the law that day, and someone came to intercede when the time came.

Then you didn't give a congratulatory gift, does it mean that there is no friendship between us, everything has to be done officially, and it is no wonder that our second master Yuan intends to find fault.

……

As the days passed, the queen's charity was also in full swing, and now it was not only the queen and Princess Huan Hua Lan and a few others, but also the families of the major lords and nobles in Beijing, who all wanted to get involved.

After all, now that the yuan has been changed, Lao Zhao can be regarded as sitting firmly on the throne, who doesn't want to show his face in front of the queen, in order to get a place, he will not hesitate to spend a lot of money on donations.

At the beginning, Yuan Wenshao handed over a million yuan, and now although a lot of orphanage homes have been built in various places, the money is not only not less, but it has even doubled several times, and Lao Zhao Le's mouth is closed.

And now the major magnates in Beijing, although they have broken a little bit of money, they are all grateful to Yuan Wenshao, and they have to say thank you when they meet.

And although Hua Lan is only a countess, because she is an old acquaintance with the queen and Princess Huan, she is also a pivotal figure here, and some princesses and ladies are not as high as her, so her vanity is greatly satisfied, and she is happy every time.

On this day, when he went home from work, Yuan Wenshao, who was basking in the sun in the yard, found that he seemed to be a little unhappy to see his wife today, and when he came back, he didn't even say hello and went into the house directly.

Stop the maid who was following behind.

"Caiyun, what's wrong with the eldest lady?"

"Back to the lord, the slave and maid don't know too much~"

Even if the little maid Caiyun knew, she didn't dare to say more, after all, she was the person next to the eldest lady, and she couldn't eat inside and out.

"Go, go, go and get busy!" Yuan Wenshao said and got up and entered the house.

Seeing that Hua Lan was sitting on the couch, she tore her handkerchief vigorously, leaned over to hold the white and tender little hand, and rubbed it gently.

"Lady, what happened, did you get bullied in the palace, say it and I'll help you avenge it!"

"Poof~" Hua Lan smiled.

Then he deliberately said: "Then you go to Gu Tingye and beat him up to me!" ”

"How did he provoke you?"

"Official, don't you know, why did this Gu Tingye fall in love with our Sheng family, and he plans to let the official family personally decree marriage, my family Rulan is simple-minded, if she marries into the Gu family, she must not be bullied to death!"

"When the queen just mentioned this matter, I almost couldn't hold back, when I thought that Gu Tingye now had a half-eldest daughter in the mansion, I couldn't help but feel angry."

"Huh?" Yuan Wenshao scratched his head.

Some words can't be explained, and I can't tell my own lady directly, Gu Lao Er is interested in your sixth Sheng Minglan, and the fifth Rulan is just a trick for this bad seed.

The real purpose of it is to let Minglan be remembered in the name of the eldest lady and marry as a concubine, so that she can directly seal her fate.

Seeing that her husband was there and didn't speak, Hua Lan pouted a little angrily, and then directly withdrew her hand.

After pushing him, he said coquettishly: "Official, you are talking, what should I do about this matter, I can't really let Rulan marry into the Gu family!" ”

"Hahaha, isn't that also a good thing!" Yuan Wenshao deliberately teased her.

In private, husband and wife can't always be one-size-fits-all, but still have to add a little more interest.

"What's good!" Hua Lan was angry and moved directly.

"Tear~" Yuan Wenshao was in pain, subconsciously covering his arm, and deliberately pretending to be in pain.

"Lady, why are you pinching me?"

Hua Lan thought that she was really in pain, so she quickly reached out to help rub it, but her mouth was unforgiving.

"Humph!"

"Who told you to just talk nonsense, that Gu Tingye lingered in Qinglou in his early years, he was a famous prodigal son in Beijing, and now although he has changed his ways, it is difficult to guarantee that his true form will not be revealed in the future, how can you let Rulan Ke be good when the time comes?"

"Lady, you see that in this way, the Yuan Gu family can also be regarded as close to each other, and any man is like your family official, such as your fourth brother-in-law Liang Han, then he will almost regard Qinglou as his own home!"

"This Gu Tingye is now an upstart in the court, and he is the capital of Ma Jun at a young age, and it is estimated that the title of Marquis of Ning Yuan is also in the bag, where can such people go to find it!"

"If the fifth sister marries now, she will be a marquise in the future, and she will be a higher level than your sister~"
