Chapter 29 Gifts

There are too many ways to give gifts, and Si Yiluo is a woman, so the wife of the back house may also come to the door at that time. She is too lazy to deal with the many twists and turns.

Just leave it all to Shen Moran and let her show her face in the circle of ladies in advance.

A lot of things can be achieved with one fell swoop.

Si Yiluo felt that his decision was very wise.

Across the way, in the Admiral's Mansion, Wei Heyan didn't think so.

After listening to Si Hai's report, Wei Heyan put down the secret letter in his hand and sighed softly.

"On the one hand, you are flirting with the governor, and on the other hand, you are living with the prime minister's daughter? Our Lord Si's taste is really special!"

Wei Heyan tapped his fingers on the table for a long time and then ordered, "Prepare gifts and let's go!"

The housekeeper took Shen Moran to the warehouse and had a half-day of free time. Si Yiluo sat in the living room drinking tea and thinking about things in his mind. He didn't know that Zhou Zhan learned from Jueming that the person who wanted to kill him was his father. What expression would the emperor have?

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

"Sir, Prince Zhan's Mansion has sent a butler to give you a housewarming gift."

The servant complained, and after receiving approval, he brought a middle-aged man in.

"I, Zhou Fu, the steward of Prince Zhan's Mansion, pay my respects to Mr. Si. On my master's orders, I have given you thirty pieces of brocade, a pair of blue and white vases with seahorse patterns, a set of blue and white bowls with pictures of exotic animals, and a pair of bright red glazed plates. , a Yun brocade embroidery screen, six pounds of Longjing tea, ten jars of sweet-scented osmanthus..."

Zhou Fu recited a long list, but before Si Yiluo could finish, he motioned for him to hand over the gift list.

The items on the gift list were quite satisfactory, and Zhou Fu took out a small box from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"Master Si, here is the prince's thank you gift."

Before Si Yiluo took it and opened it, he saw Si Hai running in behind Wei Heyan and coming in from the door.

"I have accepted the gift. I will wait until the house has been cleaned up before inviting the prince to the banquet."

Zhou Fu bowed and then left.

"Master Si, do you have a guest?"

Zhou Fu stepped back to make way and bowed to Wei Heyan. He was of low status, but Wei Heyan didn't even look at him to give alms. After entering the door, he sat down directly on Si Yiluo's left hand side.

Si Hai held a small wooden box one foot long and five inches wide and high in his hands, which was placed heavily on the table.

"Master Si, this is a congratulatory gift from our governor."

When he opened it, he found half a box of gold beans and half a box of silver coins.

This handwriting... really surprised Si Yiluo for a moment.

"The Governor's gift is too valuable, and I dare not accept it!"

Wei Heyan said in a sinister tone: "You dare to accept the gift from King Zhan, why don't you dare to accept the gift from the governor? Or are you looking down on the gift from the governor, thinking that this yellow and white thing is too vulgar?"

"The Overlord has misunderstood."

Si Yiluo knew that he had many treasures hidden in his private treasury, but she didn't expect that he would take them out and give them to her. After all, in his previous life, he used the money to support many people, such as those who later joined the army of King Han...

Wei Heyan looked at her with beautiful eyes, and Si Yiluo smiled slightly. If he dared to give it away, there was nothing she dared not accept!

She was already poor. With the little salary from Jinyiwei, she probably couldn't even support the servants in the house. Naturally, the more yellow and white things like this, the better.

"So, thank you very much, Lord Governor."

The gift was given, but Wei Heyan didn't say goodbye.

The maid served him tea cautiously, and soon a servant came to report to him, and someone else came to give him a gift.

Prime Minister Shen's knocking on the door this morning was a good one and struck many people's hearts. Some people also stared at Wei Heyan. Seeing that he had given gifts, they gathered together to join in.

Zhou Zhan sent gifts, and Zhou Yu naturally followed suit and sent people. Then the princes and princes who had separated their houses started the first round of gift-giving.

The gifts on the surface are quite satisfactory. As for what happens in private, Shen Moran has to go to the warehouse to check.

Si Yiluo is just a third-level commander, not worth mentioning in the capital city, but she wears the skin of a royal guard and holds the power of life and death. Not even Shen Panxing dares to confront her face to face, let alone other people.

Every time someone came, Si Hai took a small notebook and jotted it down. Si Yiluo glanced at him and raised his eyebrows.

"Master Si, don't be offended. Jin Yiwei inspects hundreds of officials. Our Dongchang also has the responsibility of inspection. Master Si has a distinguished status. Naturally, this supervisor has to personally supervise. Unexpectedly, Master Si has a great reputation. Five ministers in the cabinet under Prime Minister Shen Three elders came, and almost half of the officials from the Sixth Department came..."

"With this momentum, I estimate that in the next two days, there will be an endless stream of people coming to give gifts."

Si Yiluo pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at the sky, and said with a smile: "Master, it's getting late, it's time for dinner. The house is simple and simple, and I'm afraid that the governor won't be used to the food cooked by the servants. Let's do it this way. The officer personally cooks some seasonal dishes, I hope the governor will not dislike it."

Look around him.

Wei Heyan chuckled, it was quite interesting to see her way of life.

Even if they are powerful, even if they just send a housekeeper, she will receive them in person. If they are not powerful, even if they come in person, they will wait outside the hospital and present the gift list to her first. She will be satisfied and in a good mood. When he saw him, he was in a bad mood, so he sent a maid out to send him away.

This style of work is similar to his.

"Please, Lord, please wait a moment."

After sitting for a long time, Si Yiluo felt uncomfortable all over, but the monster Wei Heyan kept staring at her, making her think that her vest could no longer cover her, and she was back to the time when she took care of the back house for him in her previous life. .

Shen Moran has been staying in the warehouse since Wei Heyan came to the door. The gifts sent by each family must be compared with the list, sorted and sorted into categories, and she also needs to count the contents of the gifts.

I found dozens of silver notes in the vases of this house, a few land deeds in the calligraphy and paintings of that house, the food boxes containing snacks were full of silver ingots, and so on.

You must find a confidant to do these things.

However, Si Yiluo's family was poor and he couldn't find anyone who knew the situation around him, so Shen Moran had no choice but to come in person.

Wei Heyan clasped his fingers on the table. If she hadn't known that Si Yiluo and Shen Moran had an unusual relationship, her move of letting the prime minister's daughter come to manage the house's internal affairs would have really deceived the world.

It really makes the world think that she is really fair and selfless.

"The Governor has been waiting for a long time."

Si Yiluo had changed into regular clothes. Her hair was wet and freshly washed, and was tied behind her head and still dripping with water. The servants brought out the food. There were not too complicated dishes, just a few stir-fries, an egg soup, and rice.

"Go to the warehouse to see if Miss Shen is done? Invite her to come and have dinner with you."

Si Hai took out the silver needles and tested the poisons one by one. Under Si Yiluo's meaningful eyes, he took out a pair of clean chopsticks and gave Wei Heyan the dishes.

"Master Si, don't be offended. You should be cautious when you go out."

Si Yiluo smiled, waited for Shen Moran to come in, stood up and greeted: "I have a simple meal, I have wronged Miss Shen tonight."

Shen Moran said happily: "The governor doesn't feel wronged, so how can I dare to do so?"

In two lifetimes combined, Shen Moran never thought that one day she would sit at the same table with Wei Heyan for dinner. Wei Heyan's eyes fell on her, with probing and inexplicable hostility, which gave her a creepy feeling.

This feeling is extremely weird.
