The brightly lit Metropolitan Mansion has not stopped at all since this morning, and even though the officials guarding the door have been accustomed to seeing these guests with heads and faces in previous years, they have poured three or five pots of tea today to barely moisten their voices that are about to smoke.

"Brother Wang, your body is still so strong, please. ”

"Hey, the son of the Song family is really handsome, please hurry up, the third lady doesn't think about the tea and rice you think, I just hope that the old lady can have a life of three or five times a year. ”

Hao Chengshi, the housekeeper of the Dusi Mansion, don't look at the vulgar name, that is a well-known figure in Sanshui County, as the old saying goes, the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door, Mu Changshou is not Li Jucheng of Sanshui County, and it is a great honor to be greeted by this smiling Buddha who is good at dancing with long sleeves and eight faces.

"Uncle Hao, this is a small gift that my father asked me to bring you, please accept it with a smile. The son surnamed Song is also the first time to attend such an important occasion alone, a little nervous, according to his father's instructions, hoping to leave a good impression on the second steward of the Dusi Mansion, and then the other party will introduce some characters to know, so as to inherit the family business in the future A few more connections.

"Master Song is still thinking about our old Hao, don't worry, Uncle Hao will arrange a good position for you tonight. Hao Chengshi, who accepted the gift, smiled even more sincerely, that is, even the title changed from Song Gongzi to a virtuous nephew.

The latter few should also be called by the family to open their eyes when they see this scene, they don't regret it, if they can sit at the dinner party and get closer to those dignitaries, even if they just drink a few glasses of wine with them, they will not be able to move smoothly in the future, and a few people with active brains hurriedly instructed the servants to hurry up and prepare some generous gifts, it doesn't matter if you enter the door late, the key is to enter smoothly.

"Steward Hao, there are a few second-rate sect people over there who must be entertained by you personally, you see what to do. At this time, a little guy walked briskly and said in a hurry, with a bright red slap mark on his face, obviously being bullied.

Hao Chengshi's eyebrows stood upside down when he heard this, what day is this, who dares to come here to spread wild without opening his eyes, and shouted angrily: "A few rotten eggs from second-rate sects really regard themselves as characters, and they are all ruffians, and they don't look at the place, lead the way, Lao Tzu will go and see." ”

Under the guidance of the little guy, Hao Chengshi walked quickly to the inner courtyard, and saw a group of people arrogantly gathered in one place to laugh from a distance, the sect clothes he was wearing were very unfamiliar, and he was not the top in the second-rate, don't look at Hao Chengshi is called the Smiling Buddha, it is not to serve everyone happily, and stride forward.

"You belong to that sect. ”

When the leader saw Hao Chengshi ushering in, the arrogance on his face was immediately replaced by a smile, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "This is Steward Hao! ”

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand, seeing that the other party is so respectful to you, the anger on Hao Chengshi's face also dissipated most of it, but he still snorted coldly: "Are there any dissatisfaction with the hospitality of my capital mansion?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. Yan Chengting hurriedly said, beckoned to the same door behind him and handed over a gorgeous wooden box, opened it gently, it was full of jewels, gold and silver, Hao Chengshi, as the first gatekeeper of the Dusi Mansion, was well-informed on weekdays, but he was still shocked by the qualifications of the jewels inside.

"Steward Hao, this is our Qingsong Sect to honor you. ”

"Ahem. Hao Chengshi coughed lightly, patted the little guy beside him, motioned for the other party to retreat, and then said in a slow voice: "I don't have any friendship with your Qingsong faction, how can I say filial piety." ”

"Is it ripe once and twice ripe?" Yan Chengting couldn't help but stuff the wooden box into the opposite arms, "It's not a secret, there is a small request below that I hope Steward Hao can fulfill." ”

Hao Cheng's face did not change, but he had already begun to weigh the weight of the wooden box in his hand, and then said with a slightly embarrassed look: "After all, I am just a housekeeper, and there are not many things I can do." ”

"Rest assured, this matter is just a gesture for you. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Seeing that the other party was shaken, Yan Chengting waved his hand, and the crowd retreated, only to see two half-person-high wooden boxes placed at the back, revealing an invasive cold air from the gap.

"What is this?"

"This is the two pieces of thousand-year-old black iron that my Qingsong faction brought back from Liaojiang, as a congratulatory gift to Mu Dusi, I heard that there is a gift link at tonight's dinner, so I hope that Steward Hao will arrange a back position, after all, good things will appear last, right?"

"It's a bit of a tough thing to do, after all, you know that I need to give them a good place in the big factions like Feiyan Castle. Hao Chengshi frowned slightly, in fact, this matter is indeed not too difficult for him, the gift is just a process, the order is not critical, the key is the person who gives the gift and the gift, but this kind of opportunity is also a great gift for an obscure second-rate sect, just such a box of treasures is only afraid that it is still a little less meaningful.

Yan Chengting's heart was bright, and he immediately pointed at the other party's pulse, and hurriedly took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it back to the other party, "This thousand-year-old ginseng Hao Steward took it to replenish his body, you have to worry about this matter." ”

Hao Chengshi, who took the ginseng, finally revealed the true appearance of the smiling Buddha, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll try my best to arrange a back position for you, but I have to check these things before putting them into storage." ”

"This!" Yan Chengting looked embarrassed and hesitated a little.

"Why, it's not that there's something wrong with this ceremony. Hao Chengshi said coldly, gesturing to return the things in his hand to the other party.

Yan Chengting hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about Steward Hao, I have a few dares to deceive Mu Dusi, but this thousand-year-old Xuantie must be sealed by a specific means, otherwise the cold air emitted will hurt you." ”

"It's not hard for you to be careful, I also do things according to the rules, and please don't be embarrassed for me. "Hao Chengshi did not back down, he has seen a lot of rare treasures over the years, but this thousand-year-old Xuantie is the first time he has seen the real thing, if it really has this power, it is injured to take a look.

"In that case, please also ask Steward Hao to stand behind me. ”

"I know, I'll just look at it. Then he followed the other party to the wooden box, and he only felt the slightest coldness when he was far away before, but now he really appreciated the chill when he got closer.

"Beware of Steward Hao, I'm going to open. Yan Chengting reminded, clasped his hands on the wooden box, and struggled together, the heavy box opened a gap, and immediately a white mist came out of it like a tide, like a fairyland, and then a dazzling white light flashed, Hao Chengshi's eyes widened, only to see a palm-sized ore lying in it, and around it was frozen into ice, although he hid behind Yan Chengting, his cheeks were still whitened by a momentary cold, and he slammed a spirit.

"Alright, alright, close it quickly!" Hao Chengshi shouted unbearably, as the box was re-covered, the chill was instantly blocked, even with the scorching sun on his head, his body was like falling into an ice cellar, he couldn't feel an inch of warmth, and he couldn't stop shaking.

"Steward Hao, the other piece also needs to be seen, that one is older, and the chill is more biting. Yan Chengting asked softly.

Hao Chengshi looked at the other wooden box, even if it was tightly sealed, there was still white gas surging, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, come on, carry these two wooden boxes to the warehouse." ”

"Don't worry, I'll give you a place in the back. Hao Chengshi hugged the jewelry box and the thousand-year-old ginseng, and said intermittently with a bit of a frozen breath.

"Then I'll thank you in advance. Yan Chengting respectfully bowed his hand again and thanked him.

The four servants fetched ropes and picks, but as soon as they approached the box, they couldn't help but tremble, let alone carry it away, and even it was difficult to lift it.

"Forget it, you're not monks, let's do it! Yan Chengting turned around and glanced at the same door a few times, only to see two tall and strong men walking out, one of them easily raised above his head.

"Take them with you!" After a long delay here, Hao Chengshi just casually ordered a few words and turned to leave.

"Come with us. The servant said cautiously, facing two men who were as strong as bears and fierce and vicious, it was really unsettling.

"Lead the way. The man's fierce tone was so alarming that the servant did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked forward.

Walking to the door of the warehouse, the group was stopped by the guards guarding the door, Yan Chengting hurriedly said, "It was Steward Hao who asked us to come." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Hao Chengshi, the guards didn't dare to stop him again, but they still reminded him, "Just put things in, don't mess with others, and don't think about hiding anything, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." ”

"That's nature. Yan Chengting waved his hand, and the two put the wooden box into the warehouse, and it only took ten breaths to come and go, and several guards glanced at each other, and they didn't care about letting them leave.

"Brother Yan, I didn't expect to put things in so easily. One laughed.

"It's not a lie that money can make ghosts grind, okay, you all go and prepare! You have to cheer me up tonight, if Your Highness makes the slightest mistake, we can't eat and go around." Yan Chengting said sternly.

"Hey, that's nature. ”

......

Although there were so many visitors today, Hao Chengshi still typed out more than thirty names from the list of visitors, "What's the matter, didn't these people come a long time ago? ”

"Steward Hao, the master called you. A little guy shouted.

Hao Chengshi responded, put down the list in his hand and walked quickly to the study, pushed the door in, and saw Mu Changshou leaning on a Taishi chair with a gloomy face.

"It's all done, is it all arranged?"

"Don't worry, sir, this time His Royal Highness King Qi will not come back. ”

"Don't go wrong, Gu Danian just thought that the other party was too simple to end up in this fate, although King Qi is not afraid, the key is that Wang Ke, since he dares to come alone, there must be other help behind him, I want to let them stay alone." ”

"Don't worry, Feiyan Castle, the Jianghu forces of the Hanging Sword Sect are all disciples on the surface, but in fact, the real masters are hidden in the dark, just waiting for the master to give an order, even if they kill people at the table, they will not let people see the horses' feet. ”

Mu Changshou straightened his waist, his body was still as tough as a young man, his resolute cheeks were strong and strong with many years in the army, and he himself was also a peak martial artist of the Enlightenment Spirit, "It's done! I hope your good name can bless me through this difficulty." ”

"Hehe, that's a certainty, the small one is still waiting for the lord to add an official to the knighthood, and when the lord becomes a general of Cangzhou, don't forget the small one. Hao Cheng's exquisiteness in everything is thanks to his dexterous mouth, and the Cangzhou general really said to the other party's heart.

"Well said, be rewarded. ”
