Hearing that Miss Xu was going to get married, some relatives and friends inevitably sent gifts in advance, and they were basically sent to Changfang. In the eyes of outsiders, the long room represents the Xu family, and the second room is far away in the capital, and it is inconvenient to travel back and forth in the capital.

The Wang family moved his mind at this time, and quietly sent someone to release the news, and sure enough, every household in Xiaojia Village sent congratulatory gifts, and no one would deliberately distinguish between the long house and the second room, even if most of the villagers came because of Xu Qingtang's father and son.

However, now Xu Wen is a dignified army avant-garde officer with a sword, and many gentry in the nearby villages are interested in stammering, and some of the guards and colleagues rushed over to salute.

Wang Shile was satisfied, accepted all the gifts as ordered, and deliberately went to the capital, complaining to the old lady and Xiao Shi Why are they so tight-lipped here? made friends and relatives think that Cui Tao was going to get married, but there were a few double copies with the family, and they would be sent over in a few days.

The old lady and Xiao didn't care about this, and said with a smile, so you can't let the family run for a leg and then bring a gift, so there is no noise in the capital, and tell the people not to talk nonsense, anyway, Xu Qinglian is going to Beiping to complete the marriage, and then notify the relatives to come over and make up for a wedding wine afterwards.

But he said that because of this incident, Li Qiu was recently ridiculed by Wang Yu, the grandson of Wang Fu, the chief housekeeper of the long house, laughing at him for not making much benefit from the third young master, not even having a little face, and no one gave him a gift.

It turned out that Wang Yu and Li Qiuxuan got married on the same day, and the two grew up together since they were children, they were of the same age and identical, and they both looked at each other unpleasantly. For a long time, Wang Yu followed the eldest young master Xu Wen and pressed Li Qiu everywhere, and in the past two years, because of Xu Hao's strong rise, Li Qiu has become the hottest person in this generation.

It takes money to get married, it needs to be decent. Wang Yu took advantage of this matter to compete with Li Qiu, and threatened to compare the scenery of the other party. Although Li Qiu was not convinced, he had followed Xu Hao for so long and learned to be steady and low-key, so he kept this matter in his heart and did not publicize it everywhere, and even the young master never mentioned it, and planned to prepare for the marriage with his own ability.

And Wang Yu, with the help of his family and the eldest young master, spent a total of no less than four or five hundred taels of silver to build a new home decoration house with great fanfare, and even built a small garden. I thought that Li Qiu was not an opponent. Who knew that Li Qiu had money in his own hands, and the rewards he received from all walks of life in a year alone added up to no less than one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

This is not counting Xu Hao's reward for having nothing to do, he went to the north last year, and Princess Yan rewarded him a lot, not to mention Mrs. Mu and Mu Ningxue.

Wang Yuxin built a courtyard, and didn't want Li Qiu to have two new houses, because there was no garden, everyone was tied. Wang Yu purchased bedding, clothing, etc. Li Qiu was too familiar with the shopkeeper of his own silk shop, and bought a bunch of them at a low price. Wang Yutuo people brought back a lot of good things from all over the world, Li Qiu was in the shop near the red leaves, what was there in the north and the south?

Wang Yu simply spent a lot of money to buy back gold and silver utensils and all kinds of head and face jewelry. Triumphantly delivered to the woman's house. Not to be outdone, Li Qiu found the officials of the Zongren Mansion and asked the craftsmen to create some jewelry at a very low price, and sent them to the woman's house.

And so it goes. Li Qiu had no money in his hand, and the only remaining fifteen taels of silver were given to his old family, and Wang Yu also spent all the money in the family. I can't afford to squander him anymore, so the peers of the Wang family are very unhappy, thinking that the elders are eccentric. And Li Qiu's parents disagreed with their son and Wang Yu's vindictiveness, their son spent so much money, there was no need for the family to accompany him anymore, and in turn persuaded Li Qiu to know how to be a man in moderation, and Li Qiu agreed to be filial piety.

However, Wang Yu was unwilling to go to Xu Wen to spread rumors, saying that Li Qiu intended to make him unable to raise his head in front of the whole family, and even let everyone know that the eldest young master, you just don't have the third young master.

Xu Wen was very angry, and gave him two hundred taels of silver for the sake of face, Wang Xuanqing had a little revenge after learning about it, and also rewarded twenty taels down, just in time to catch up with the families to give gifts, Wang Yu deliberately ran to the gate to greet the guests, and the people who came did not give some rewards.

With this, Wang Yu made a bold move, and the belongings he purchased were much more decent than Li Qiu, and he bragged about everything when he had nothing to do, and gradually the family spread it, and everyone said that Wang Yu was stronger than Li Qiu, and the third young master was just so cloudy.

Li Qiu was very angry when he heard this, and felt that it was nothing for him to lose face, but he couldn't embarrass the young master, because he had been sullen recently. I'm embarrassed to open my mouth with my family, and I don't want to say it to Xu Hao just for my own face, and I don't want to borrow money from my friends.

I didn't want to get the gift of the inner house today, it was enough to be with Wang Yuyi, Li Qiu happily went home, and before he could think about what to buy, a guest came.

It turned out that Mu Hui left Beijing with Xu Hao, and when he left, he ordered someone to send twenty taels of silver. Mu Hui was well-informed, and in order to help Li Qiu in private, he told a few people, so that one after another, there were escort companions and people who were familiar with the Ouchi guards, and they came to help, and they received no less than 200 gifts in the whole afternoon, and they came one after another, and at every moment someone came to the door with a gift box, for which the Xu family was stunned, and everyone sighed that Li Qiu was too face-saving.

Even the housekeeper of the Mu family heard the news, and took two hundred taels of silver on behalf of his wife and young master, and when the news came out, the people were envious, and the angry Wang Yu jumped to his feet and lost his temper at home.

The problem is that this is not over, early the next morning, the father-in-law of the steward of the Yan Wangfu personally came to the door to send three generous gifts, two were for the two young ladies of the Xu family, and one was named for Li Qiu, the father-in-law in front of many people, smiled and said that Li Qiu was an old friend, Li Qiu was the right and left hand of the third prince of your mansion, how could the palace not express it?

What's even more amazing is still to come, Li Jinglong and other noble sons who usually have a good relationship with Xu Hao, because someone at the banquet said that Xu Hao's eldest sister is going to get married, so they all sent people to send congratulatory gifts. After all, Li Qiu walks around with Xu Hao all day long, and he basically does things, so that everyone knows him, and in addition to giving Miss Xu a gift, he doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, Li Qiu has the same share.

In addition, there is also Zhang Fu, the future uncle of the Xu family, since he became engaged to Xu Qinglian, he paid special attention to the movements of the Xu family, and knew that Li Qiu was Xu Hao's henchman, so he specially wrote a trust to pay the guards in the capital to send a heart on his behalf. And when Xu Hao went to Yanwang's Mansion earlier, Li Qiu often fartized and chatted with the guards, and had a bit of friendship, seeing that Zhang Fu gave gifts, and because of Xu Hao, the big guy didn't feel good and didn't say it, so he sent it together with half a tael of silver per person.

There are also Zhang Liang, Xue Wen and other classmates, Zhou Peng, Zhang Xin and other friends heard about this matter somewhere, and immediately made a gift to send it, and naturally Li Qiu's is also indispensable.

This incident immediately caused a sensation in the entire Xu family, and when I said that I had witnessed a large scene of coming to give gifts in an endless stream during the New Year, it was because the third young master was the official worship of Jinyi Wei at that time, and now there are so many nobles and friends who are specially accompanying the gift, which shows that the rumors of the young master's extensive travel are not true.

Just when people thought that the matter was over, Li Qiu defeated Wang Yu. On the third day, Zhang Yu, the marquis of Heshou, personally brought people to come, and sent three congratulatory gifts in person, not to mention gifts such as silver, among which there were two sets of dresses and a number of ornaments sewn by Zhang Yueyun himself, which were specially given to Xu Qinglian.

In the afternoon, the two adults of the Taifu Temple and their officials arrived, and Li Qiu's share was not missing, who told him to sit in the tea room outside the yamen every day recently, and the officials who came and went recognized him.

Officialdom pays special attention to these small details, and sometimes the people below are more valued than the officials themselves, cronies and cronies! It is more useful to make good friendships than to deal with officials, because no one knows the temper and preferences of their master better than his cronies.

This is what the world is, once someone picks the head, everyone knows that it will soon spread it, let alone the officialdom with an antenna on the brain. The sun didn't wait for the sun to set, and some gifts from the military department and other yamen arrived, of course, each gift was not heavy, just a year for the New Year, and the maximum value was no more than three taels of silver.

The colt Wang Ning and the other colts are very familiar with Xu Hao, even the enemy Ouyang Lun will not be stingy on the surface; The third uncle Xu Yingxu and his wife, the fourth uncle Xu Zengshou and his wife, and the wife of the eldest uncle Xu Yaozu, the princes of the various palaces all knew Xu Hao's royal family, the Geng family, the Guo family, and other nobles, and they all expressed their feelings more or less. For some reason, in addition to the congratulatory gifts given to the two young ladies of the Xu family, each family made it clear that they wanted to reward Li Qiu himself with a gift, as if Xu Hao's true identity as the emperor's confidant could not hide it from the people in the capital, so they all took advantage of this matter to show goodwill.

The Xu family has turned from shock to numbness, Xu Hao's majestic image has once again risen infinitely, and everyone looked at the disgraced Wang Yu with pity, Wang Yu wanted to die headlong.

In this way, without Xu Hao's own knowledge, the officialdom expressed more or less in line with the concept that if someone else sent it, I can't help but send it. Adding up a lot, Li Qiu has completely made money now.

Wang Yu was finally convinced, he couldn't admit defeat in the face of the facts, the eldest young master couldn't smash the pot and sell iron for the sake of face, and what if he took out tens of thousands of taels of silver? Comparable to the gods of all walks of life who give gifts? That's the most face-saving.

Just when Wang Yu was about to die down, this incident angered Xu Wen, and he didn't fight for steamed buns, as the eldest grandson of the Xu family, he had to fight to the end no matter what.

That night, Xu Wen called Xu Ji, the dog-headed military master, and the brothers worked separately the next day, and soon Xu Wen brought the sponsorship of the twelve guards. Some acquaintances and guards didn't express their status because of their bad status, and they didn't even give gifts after hesitating, but they just gave a gift list without signature, and Xu Wen wanted a false name instead of real money.

In addition, Xu Wen's friends in the capital were also mobilized, all of them were young people with good deeds, and they didn't have much money but they were particularly fancy and conspicuous. And Xu Ji moved the teachers and students of Guozijian, compared to advocating low-key officialdom, Shilin does not have so many scruples, there are not many things that can be attached to the elegance of money, and all kinds of poems and songs come one after another with the famous posts.
