The soldiers saw Tantai Heqing and didn't even glance at this small gift. They secretly thought that General Hu had bought it with all his belongings from selling iron and borrowing a lot of money from his brothers.
I don’t even think about it, and my face kills people!
Hu Diquan didn't feel distressed at all, and happily handed the brocade box to Butler Kong's hands.
"Di Quan, let's talk in the living room."
"good."
Hu Diquan followed Tantai Heqing, and when he was about to cross the threshold, he paused for a moment, feeling quite emotional in his heart, and then strode across the threshold.
Tantai Heqing suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at a group of soldiers waiting outside the door. Hu Diquan said quickly: "Miss, these are my brothers."
Tantai Heqing scolded Hu Diquan: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Then he said to a group of soldiers: "Today is the day when Di Quan returns home. Butler Kong, go arrange a banquet to entertain Di Quan's brothers."
All the soldiers were respected and said in unison: "Thank you, Miss."
Hu Diquan said loudly: "You have to call me Madam, then I can call you Miss."
"Thank you ma'am."
Tantai Heqing smiled: "Diquan, you think I'm old."
Hu Diquan said hurriedly: "No, absolutely not!"
In the hall, Hu Diquan, who had been a servant in the mansion for half his life, was finally treated as a distinguished guest today. It was his turn to serve him tea and water. He didn't know how happy he was.
The two talked about past events, chatted about the past years, and talked about daily life.
After a while, Xia'er came in and whispered a few words in Tantai Heqing's ear. While listening, Tantai Heqing glanced at Hu Diquan lightly. He looked at Hu Diquan and felt very nervous. He didn't know what was going on.
What a mistake.
But it was Xia'er who opened the brocade box and told Tantai Heqing about the contents.
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "Diquan, you kid, you still call it a small gift, why do you give me such a precious thing?"
Hearing what Tantai Heqing said, Hu Diquan felt at ease and said with a smile: "Miss, this is not a small gift to you."
"Now that I have accepted the gift, there is absolutely no reason to return it. Well, I have to think carefully about how to repay the gift."
Hu Diquan said hurriedly: "Miss, no, no, no."
"These are my rules. Are you going to break my rules?"
Hu Diquan smiled awkwardly: "I don't dare, little one." In a confrontation with Tantai Heqing, he was no match for any of the ten Hu Diquan.
"Okay, Diquan, what are you missing now?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Diquan couldn't help but glance at the beautiful Xia'er, which made Xia'er blush.
Tantai Heqing said directly: "Xia'er can't do it."
Hu Diquan laughed with him: "Miss, Miss Xia'er certainly doesn't dare to have any delusions. Even though the eldest brother has grown up, and now he can be considered to be a bit of a fool, he is still alone and without a family. He is ashamed of his ancestors."
These straightforward words, mixed with a few refined words, were like that hypocrite Xie Fu, making even Tantai Heqing laugh.
Hu Diquan blushed and said, "Miss, don't make fun of me."
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "I'm not kidding you. You are now a general. Your status is completely different. How can you still marry a maid as your wife? Let's do this. The young lady has taken over this matter and will help you find a good family."
Lady."
Hu Diquan immediately knelt down and thanked her: "Thank you very much, Miss, for taking care of me." He thought to himself that this generous gift was not in vain!
Tantai He said coldly: "Get up! We are all generals, why do we still kneel down like a slave? What a shame. This is really embarrassing to me."
Hu Diquan stood up quickly: "Yes, yes."
"You have become a general, so you have to have a family. Otherwise, that family is willing to marry their daughter to you and accompany you in the wind and rain. How about this? I will give you a house first. As for what else is missing, wait
You are well settled in the house, and Butler Kong will make arrangements for you."
Hu Diquan screamed, this handwriting really shocked Hu Diquan. Even if he became a general, this would be something he would never be able to achieve in his lifetime.
Tantai Heqing smiled: "How?"
"Miss, you are really my reborn parents."
"Bah, bah, bah, I can't give birth to you..."
Halfway through the words, my face couldn't help but turn red and I couldn't say anything.
However, it was said that Butler Kong, in accordance with Tantai Heqing's instructions, mobilized the entire family to hold a feast to entertain Hu Diquan's brothers.
After all, there are more than a hundred people. According to eight people per table, it is not easy to prepare a banquet for so many people without advance preparation.
Fortunately, Butler Kong had been with Tantai Heqing for so many years, and he had also acquired Tantai Heqing's vigorous and resolute style of doing things. If there were not enough cooks in the house, he would go directly to a nearby tavern to bring the chef back to the house. Money was not a problem.
If the house doesn't have enough meat and vegetables, just go to the nearby tavern to get it. Money is not a problem.
After struggling for most of an hour, I finally got the things Tantai Heqing told me to do.
Seeing that the banquet was held smoothly and the scene was lively, Butler Kong also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head. He thought to himself, no, I have to find a chance to remind the lady that I am old and can no longer torment me like this.
Take the old bones.
This was when Xia'er appeared, and Butler Kong hurriedly greeted her: "Xia'er, what are your instructions, Miss?"
Xia'er pointed behind her: "Steward Kong, look."
Butler Kong took a look and saw a dozen maids standing behind him. They were divided into two teams and lined up. Each person held a plan in their hands and the table was covered with a red cloth. He immediately understood that this was for food and money.
The lady is never stingy. The money that should be spent must be spent beautifully and almost perfectly, and the money that should not be spent should not be extravagant and wasteful.
In the words of the young lady, money must be like water. If it flows, it is living money and full of vitality.
Silver is water, water is human feelings, and vice versa.
It's good to follow General Hu. I just had a banquet at the Lu Mansion yesterday and another one today.
Just as I was eating happily, I saw Butler Kong and Xia'er filing in with a group of pretty maids. These old men were so excited that they were almost drooling, especially this Xia'er, she was so beautiful.
, the gentleness and tenderness in her body is not inferior to that of a young lady from a wealthy family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But they also know that such a beauty will not have their turn. Earlier at the gate, even General Hu had to be polite when he spoke, holding a
voice.
But these dozen maids must be rewards for them. They have long heard that some powerful people give away beautiful women at every turn.
Thinking of this, everyone felt itchy, so much so that they completely ignored the plans each of these maids had.
Some maids saw the men's evil looks and couldn't help but whisper to Xia'er: "Sister Xia'er, look at these men, they all look like they want to eat people."
Xia'er sneered: "Young Master said, this is the true nature of men. You can't marry a man who is not lustful."
"Really? Young Master really said that?"
"Master, he said that."
"Then I think the young master is not lustful, so why would the young lady marry him?"
"Who told you that the young master is not lustful?"
After all, Xia'er was Tantai Heqing's personal maid, and she occasionally heard about Xie Fu and his wife's bed. Every time, the young lady screamed in agony, and then kicked the young master out of bed in the middle of the night.
If you are not lewd, you can force the lady to kick her husband out of bed.
"Zhu'er, you are stupid. You haven't seen that every time the young master comes back for a few days, the young lady's face is rosy and her complexion is rosy."
Xia'er interrupted: "Okay, don't talk about young ladies and gentlemen behind their backs."
Butler Kong said loudly: "Everyone here."
All the soldiers responded: "Steward Kong."
"You are a guest when you come from here, and you are a guest when you enter the house. On the occasion of my young master's full moon, my young lady would like to wish you a happy birthday."
"Of course." Someone immediately echoed.
Butler Kong motioned to his maid to untie the red cloth. The plan was filled with brocade bags, which were bulging and seemed to contain something.
"There are one hundred and twenty-eight kits here, and only one of them has the word "auspicious" in it. If you say a happy word to my young master, you can choose one of the kits from them. The one who picks the word "lucky" will get a prize.
As Butler Kong spoke, he raised his hand and pointed. The last plan was actually a golden Buddha.
Everyone was in awe, and those who had seen this glittering scene immediately started talking. They forgot to eat food and drink, hoping that they would be lucky enough to draw this auspicious character and get this windfall.
A soldier stood up and said loudly: "No matter who draws this lucky word, others will not be happy. Remember what General Hu said to us, we share the blessings and the hardships, so I propose that no matter who draws this lucky word, everyone will be unhappy."
This auspicious character and this golden Buddha are all decided by General Hu!"
"Okay, okay."
This proposal couldn't be better, so everyone won't be jealous of each other and destroy unity.
The soldier said to Butler Kong: "Steward Kong, why don't I come and show them off first? They are all rough guys, so they don't make a joke."
Butler Kong smiled and said, "Of course."
The soldier pondered for a while and then said politely: "I want to take advantage of Zhang's joy. I think of Shilin in the sky. The young master will definitely be a pillar in the future!"
Before Butler Kong could give his thumbs up, someone shouted urgently: "Vice General Liu, we didn't even hear what you said."
"Vice General Liu, don't say it's too difficult, we can't even learn it."
It's so docile that it's impossible to repeat it in person or by ear.
Lieutenant General Liu was a little embarrassed for a moment. He spoke too plainly and could not be elegant. He spoke elegantly, but these rough guys couldn't keep up. So he said: "Don't worry, if you can't speak out, I will be responsible for giving guidance."
Butler Kong asked Deputy General Liu to pick one, and Deputy General Liu picked one at random. He opened the bag and saw that there was no auspicious character, but there was a shining silver coin.
Vice General Liu held the silver in his hand and asked, "Steward Kong, what is this?"
Butler Kong smiled and said: "This is the rule of our Tantai Mansion. If there is no treasure, it is not a tip bag. Please accept it."
With each kit containing at least one ingot of silver, the soldiers also knew about Miss Tantai. Mrs. Jieduzhi had tried some different ways to give everyone money, and they felt that Miss Tantai was generous and generous.
Living up to expectations, the auspicious character also appeared, and we got the golden Buddha shared by everyone...
As soon as Butler Kong walked out of the hall, a servant came to report: "Steward Kong, General Zhang is here."
Perhaps he was too busy, but Butler Kong blurted out and asked: "Which General Zhang?"
"General Zhang Shiyi."
Butler Kong said, "This General Zhang is an old acquaintance. When the young master is at home, he often walks around Tantai Mansion."
The young master no longer lives in the palace, but often comes to visit the young lady, as if he treats the young lady as his mistress.
The young lady also personally promised that if you have any difficulties, you can come to her at any time and she will try her best to help. You don't have to wait for the young master to come back.
"Since you are General Zhang Shiyi, please come into the house."
"Okay, then please let Butler Kong inform the lady."
Butler Kong snorted when he heard this: "Wait a moment."
Turning to Xia'er, he said: "Xia'er, you go and inform the lady, I will go and receive General Zhang."
Over in the hall, Tantai Heqing smiled and said, "Di Quan, let's have a meal together."
Hu Diquan's heart trembled. He was having dinner at the same table with the young lady. This was something he never dared to think about.
Then I thought about it, how could I be so stupid? How could I have dinner with the lady at the same table? The lady meant to see off guests.
So he stood up and said with an apologetic smile: "No, I'll go back to that place first."
Tantai Heqing felt funny in his heart. You dare not think about it when you can, but you are wishful thinking when you can't think about it. He said with a slight complaint: "Your brother is still eating. You, the one who went home, why did you leave first? How could you
This is the truth.”
Hu Diquan's head lit up: "Then...then I'll go and join my group of brothers."
Tantai Heqing was funny: "Diquan, if Fu was at home, how would he entertain you?"
Hu Diquan said with a cheeky smile: "My relationship with the young master is like that of brothers. The young master is very affectionate and righteous. He never despises others. Naturally, the young master will have a good drink with me."
"That's it. He's not at home. Naturally, it's me, the wife, who entertains you. If he knows that I've neglected you, he will definitely blame me."
Hu Diquan was moved and excited, and asked cautiously: "Miss, is it okay?"
Tantai Heqing glanced at him gently, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Hu Diquan mentioned it wholeheartedly and hurriedly explained: "The villain means whether anyone will gossip."
Tantai He said calmly: "I have taken over the Tantai Mansion since I was fifteen years old, and I have been running around the mall alone for so many years..."
He turned to Hu Diquan and said, "You are not the first man to have dinner with me at the dinner table."
He took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly: "I'm just afraid that you will gossip."
Hu Diquan stood up suddenly: "How dare you, I swear to God, I am loyal to the young master, but to you, young lady..."
Tantai Heqing raised his hand to interrupt: "Come on, come on..."
At this time Xia'er walked into the hall and whispered a few words in Tantai Heqing's ear.
Hu Diquan saw Tantai Heqing smiling and nodding, so he asked: "Miss, what happened?"
Tantai Heqing smiled: "Di Quan, I just want to introduce you to someone."
"who?"
"General Zhang Shiyi, the captain of Changzhou Zhechong."
When Hu Diquan heard this, he blew his beard and stared: "So it's this bastard!"
Tantai Heqing asked in confusion: "Diquan, what's wrong?"
Hu Di said with a gloomy expression: "Miss, I have a conflict with this bastard and I don't want to meet him. I'm going to have dinner with my brothers."
Hu Diquan was not afraid of meeting Zhang Shiyi, but he did not want to meet Zhang Shiyi when Tantai Heqing was present, so as not to make Tantai Heqing uncomfortable.
