Onizuka Twenty-Three came to the door of Andinghou Mansion and handed the invitation to the concierge.
But the concierge first looked at Onizuka Twenty-Three, then flipped through the small notebook in his sleeve, then sat back down slowly and drank tea.
When Onizuka 23 saw this scene, he spoke in the Central Plains dialect with a hint of Dasa: "I want to meet the Marquis of Anding County, please inform me."
The porter raised his eyes and glanced at Onizuka Twenty-Four, and said lazily: "There are not many people in the Chu Kingdom who want to see my Marquis, and the Marquis is very busy on weekdays. It's just an envoy from your vassal country who said so.
Are you going to meet me when you see me?"
Onizuka Twenty-Four saw that the concierge was so arrogant, and his face turned green with anger, but he still pretended to be calm and asked: "Then when will the Marquis have time to see me?"
The concierge glanced at Onizuka Twenty-four and said, "Then it depends on your performance."
Onizuka Twenty-Four was stunned when he heard this. He was waiting for the Marquis of Anding County, but the Marquis of Anding County wanted to see him and still had to see his performance. What was wrong with this?
The concierge saw Onizuka Twenty-Four being so brainless and couldn't help but said: "Tell me, your small country just doesn't understand etiquette. I have to go to the inner house to report, but I have to walk a long way and my legs will be sore. When I get back,
You still need to drink tea to soothe yourself, why are you so ignorant?"
As a capable concierge, as a moral concierge, as a concierge who has escaped from vulgar taste, he naturally knows who should be provoked and who should not be provoked.
The Marquis is very tolerant and kind to most people from his own country, especially his own people. Most of them have no problems and can be reported directly.
In the same way, the Marquis has changed from his usual kindness to people outside the Central Plains, and has become more and more profiteers.
Just like Agula last time, you didn’t come over with some generous gifts and still wanted to see the Marquis?
That's just want to eat shit.
Although the treasures that the Japanese gave yesterday were much greater than those given by Agula at the time, the deep disgust that appeared on the Marquis's face after the Japanese left was something he would never forget in his life.
He has never seen the Marquis hate a person so much, it can even be called disgusting.
For such a person who wants to be conceited, he, the concierge, will naturally ask for as many benefits as he can. This is also a tacit source of extra income for people who work as concierges in wealthy families.
They all have a special little notebook, who can and cannot stop, and who can reach out and ask for money, but he remembers it clearly.
In his opinion, this Japanese man is quite ignorant. He is really not as good as the one who came with him last time. The one who knew how to include ten taels of tea money when handing in a greeting card.
I don’t want to give you a penny!
It’s simply a lack of eyesight!
Onizuka Twenty-Four was only awakened by the concierge now, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "The Marquis of Anding County is the person appointed by Your Majesty to receive our Japanese envoys! You are extorting benefits like this, don't be afraid..."
Before Onizuka finished speaking twenty-four words, a note was handed into his hand.
Onizuka Twenty-four looked at the paper that looked like a map and was slightly startled: "What is this?"
The concierge said: "The best route from An Ding Hou Mansion to Tai Chi Palace is to complain."
Onizuka Twenty-Four: "..."
The concierge said sarcastically at the side: "Back then, even if you were as powerful as the grassland, you had to obediently offer benefits if you wanted to enter the gate of Anding Marquis Mansion. How dare you, an envoy from a subordinate country, dare to be so ignorant of the rules? The grassland has now been destroyed by my country, Chu.
what about you?"
As soon as these words came out, the threat became even stronger. If you don't abide by my rules of An Dinghou Mansion, do you believe that the Chu Kingdom will destroy you?
But I have to admire the Japanese people's forbearance. They endured the concierge's cynicism and reluctantly handed over ten taels of silver to the concierge.
This made the concierge look slightly sideways, how could the little Japanese slave endure his anger so much?
The concierge, who had received the benefit, naturally stopped mocking the Japanese country and walked towards the door of the inner courtyard.
Xu Qing happened to have finished practicing the kung fu with Su Qian, and was teasing Xiao Ning'er with Xiao Ruxue. Of course, he had just practiced the basic kung fu in the yard, not any other internal kung fu.
After learning from Xuan'er that the concierge had come to report, he walked out.
After leaving the inner house, the concierge led the way, and Xu Qing asked, "What about Deputy Onizuka?"
The concierge said respectfully: "It is as the Marquis said, the people of Japan are really good at forbearing to the extreme. Instead of leaving in spite of the cynicism, they chose to swallow their anger for the time being."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "You did a good job, I understand."
The concierge said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your compliment."
When Xu Qing came out and saw Onizuka Twenty-Four, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "It turns out to be Deputy Envoy Onizuka. I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder why you suddenly came to visit today?"
Onizuka Twenty-four handed over the invitation and said: "Today our envoys are hosting a banquet at the Ramadan Tower, and I would like to ask the Marquis to honor it."
Xu Qing said: "You have no merit and no reward, why do you invite me?"
Onizuka twenty-four said: "We, the Japanese country, have many matters to report to His Majesty the Emperor when we come here. Naturally, we will cause a lot of trouble to the Marquis. It is disrespectful to be careless."
Xu Qingdao: "Your country is much more generous than the grassland. It is indeed a country that understands etiquette. Your country is so kind. I should be more respectful than obey."
Onizuka 241 bowed and said: "Then today at noon I will be waiting for the Marquis in the Zhaiyue Tower."
After Onizuka Twenty-Four left, the smile on Xu Qing's face disappeared and was replaced by undisguised disgust.
However, a meal at Zhaiyuelou is not cheap, and if you don't eat it, it will be free. Besides, he also has a big gift prepared for these Japanese envoys.
…
noon
Ramadhan Tower
Fortunately, it's autumn now, and even the midday sun can be scorching.
Xu Qing sat in a carriage and arrived at the Zhaiyue Tower on time.
Behind Xu Qing was Wei Xiong, who had already changed into an entourage outfit.
Saburo Inoue booked room No. 1 in Zhaiyue Building.
Originally, he wanted to book Room No. 1 in Tianzi to show his sincerity to the Marquis of Anding County, but the shopkeeper of Zhaiyue Building did not agree at all.
Just a small affiliated country wants to eat in their Tianzi No. 1 room?
Wouldn’t it lower their status as Tianzi No. 1 House?
If there was a banquet held by these dwarves in Room No. 1, which dignitary would book Room No. 1 in Tianzi in the future?
So in desperation, Saburo Inoue naturally had no choice but to book room No. 1.
When Xu Qing arrived at Room No. 1, Inoue Saburo and other Japanese envoys were already standing in the room waiting.
Xu Qing sat at the front seat unceremoniously, then waved his hand and said, "You are a guest, please take a seat."
