Chapter 40

After a rain, the weather became extremely clear. The sky was clear and there was not even a trace of clouds.

Zhongshi and Fu Yu drove all the servants out of the room, and placed them on the table with seven Buddhist treasures embedded on them.

"Tsk tsk, this box alone costs hundreds of taels of silver." Zhong sighed and said, "But who made the things here expensive!"

The gift they were preparing to give to Yong King was a Buddha bone relic. This thing was indeed a great gift for the Daxia Kingdom, which valued Buddha.

In fact, the reason why Zhong family was confident to come to the capital was because of this thing. It was hard to come by and it was not necessarily bought for money.

Gao Zhao has not come to the Fu family since he came last time. He just sent the servants from Gao's mansion to pass the message, saying that he had already greeted the butler of the Yongwang Mansion and asked Fu Yu to give the things to the butler directly at that time.

Fu Yu and his wife looked at the gift over and over again, and then put Fu Yu's famous post in very serious manner.

After reciting a few words of Buddha, I covered the box.

Then he called Fu Chengze and the butler in, and then told them to deliver the things well.

Fu Chengze and the butler went out and heard someone calling him halfway through the way. He turned around and saw that Su Haoyi called him at the door of a teahouse.

Fu Chengze did not dare to neglect and quickly got off his horse and walked over.

"Mr. Fu is going to go to Prince Yong's Mansion?" Su Haoyi asked in a low voice.

Fu Chengze nodded, and he had nothing to hide from Haosu Haoyi.

"I have a few words to say below, which is what Mr. Gao means." Su said kindly: "I have settled a seat, let's come in and talk."

Fu Chengze did not doubt that he was there, and followed Su Haoyi into the teahouse door, and the butler was waiting outside.

Su Haoyi was careful about what Fu Chengze was holding. She knew what it was, because when he was with Fu Chengxun before, he had heard him mention it after drinking.

"Master Fu Da, are you a little nervous? Come and have a cup of tea." Su Haoyi poured Fu Chengze a cup of tea.

Fu Chengze smiled embarrassedly. He was indeed a little nervous and extremely thirsty.

After drinking a cup, Su Haoyi poured him another cup. Then he told him something to pay attention to when going to the palace. Fu Chengze was very grateful.

Then Su Haoyi made a mistake and sprinkled half a cup of tea on Fu Chengze's clothes.

Fu Chengze rushed to wipe it, and Su Haoyi apologized repeatedly.

Fortunately, the weather is hot now and it will dry out quickly.

"Mr. Fu is really sorry. It's all my fault for this." Su said kindly: "Why would I take you to the ready-to-wear shop next to you to buy clothes."

"No need, the color of my clothes is also more turquoise and not obvious." Fu Chengze said: "What's more, there is still a big thing to do, so I won't delay it. When the matter is done, I must invite my Master Su's house to visit, and I will definitely appreciate my face at that time."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Su nodded with a good smile.

Besides, Fu Chengze and the butler came to the gate of the Yongwang Mansion and explained their purpose to the servants. The servants guarding the door went in to find the butler.

After the butler came out, he asked directly: "Are you the ones recommended by the butler of the Gao Mansion?"

Fu Chengze quickly agreed, held the box in his hand and said, "I'm sorry, please send this to the prince."

While speaking, he stuffed a purse into the butler's hand, and it was naturally filled with gold and silver.

"You go back and wait for news. The prince has entered the palace now and will not come back until the evening." said the butler of the royal palace.

Fu Chengze had no choice but to go back obediently.

Fu Chengxun ran to find Gao Zhao early in the morning and waited in front of Gao Mansion until noon before the auspicious star came out.

"Let's go and drink!" Ji Xing said, "We won't drink in the city today, go outside the city!"

Where did Fu Chengxun have any objections? Gao Zhao said what is equivalent to an imperial edict, so he nodded and bowed and asked, "Don't Hachiro go together today?"

"He's busy and has no time." Ji Xing said, "Just tell your follower when he returns home, don't worry your parents."

Therefore, there were only two of them, and they went out of the city together with a few servants from Gao's mansion.

The housekeeper who returned to the mansion, took the things Fu Chengze sent into the house, followed his confidant servant and asked, "What are you pretending here? The prince said he is not allowed to accept gifts."

"The gift-giver said there was a Buddha bone relic inside," the housekeeper tapped gently on the table with his finger: "If anything else is not accepted, it would be impossible, but the prince made a vow to offer 108 relics to the Empress Dowager in his early years, and he was still missing one. Isn't this just right? Buddhist things are the most destiny, and they are all sent to him. Can we not accept them? If you miss them, it is a real sin. Besides, the butler of the Gao family greeted me and always wanted to sell him face."

"What is the gift-giving man asking?" asked the bride, "Can the prince agree?"

"I'm not so confused yet. The gift-giving person is named Fu Yu. He came to the capital to fill the gap. If you want to stay in the capital and have no way, you want to come and ask the prince." The housekeeper laughed and said, "Can you still bother the prince with this little thing? Let's do it for him in private."

"Then what do you mean?" The confidant seemed to understand something.

"The man surnamed Fu just wants to be an official. As long as he does, he cares about who said what he said? As long as I present this treasure to the prince and fulfill his long-cherished wish, it would be a great contribution." The butler said as he opened the box and took out Fu Yu's famous post inside and put it aside.

The box is covered with brocade and a small piece of bone is placed in the center.

The butler looked at the bone without saying anything for a long time, but his confidant was a little panicked. He had seen many relics, but no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like it was real.

"Butler, why don't you ask a few gentlemen to come and have a look?" the confidant asked in a breath.

There are many visitors to the Yongwang Mansion, and many of them understand this.

The housekeeper didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and his confidant hurried out to find someone.

Several Qingke husbands were called in and watched the box for a long time.

Everyone agreed that this was by no means human bone, but like a dog bone, which had been burned before.

"This..., Fu Yu is so bold that he dares to fool you with this thing!" After the Qinggu went out, his confidant said to the butler: "Thank you to see it in advance, otherwise it would be strange if you didn't punish you if you sent it to the prince."

"This bastard named Fu is really heartbroken! He actually dared to come to the prince's mansion to play tricks! I don't know how he died if I told him to die!"

"Can it be the butler of the Gao family..." The confidant stopped talking.

"It's not necessarily true that Gao Jian is a human being. He is just helping with the line and will definitely not get involved. Who would have thought that this bastard named Fu dared to play this trick?!" The housekeeper hated.

"The villain understands that Fu Yu is very brave and needs to punish him well." said the confidant.

"Although he is abominable, our prince is kind-hearted and never allows us to take care of human life. Fu Yu doesn't have to be too involved. He just needs to be dismissed from his post and never talks about it." The housekeeper sighed and said with a little unwillingness: "It's not because his stinky fly has defiled our prince's reputation for being kind."

Although King Yong was the Regent, he liked Buddha by nature and did not like to kill. Therefore, although the butler hated Fu Yu, he did not dare to do too much. If it was passed into the prince's ears, he would not have to continue doing this as the butler.
