The next day, Meng Zhao fell into a deep sleep until noon. After washing, he asked his servants to prepare some light porridge and side dishes, and sat in the room to enjoy them.
Lu Le held a small notebook beside him and reported the report with a smile.
"The young master of the Fang family in the county sent people to send congratulatory gifts this morning. Twelve large South Sea pearls, third-grade blood rain corals, and a painted bronze statue from the medieval Emperor and Ming Dynasties. The second son of the Liu family in the county sent congratulatory gifts. A number of gold and silver jewelry, two squares of Chaoyang grass, ten bottles of high-quality Peiyuan pills, and a jade bird from the medieval Tang Dynasty...
Also, the eldest son of the first house also sent three medieval antiques and some belongings. In addition, I received news that some of the stewards of our second house received many resignations this morning, and they were all from you, young master. The eldest son I was asked to keep an eye on placed here among us."
Yesterday, on the Flower Goddess's birthday, Meng Zhao defeated Shi Siming and won the respect and praise of the peerless prodigy Shen Tianci. It can be said that he became famous and popular.
The next day, more than thirty families, big and small, sent people to send congratulatory gifts, most of which were valuable.
Although most of them are members of the family, they cannot represent the attitude of the entire family, but we can still see certain tendencies and positions.
It’s still the same style of praising the superior and suppressing the inferior. It’s no different.
And probably to suit his liking, after Meng Zhaoxi's pre-medieval antiques, especially some antiques that had been played by martial arts people, were found out, he would more or less bring one or two of them with him whenever he gave a gift. Meng Xidu is like this.
These are Bai Huahua’s energy points. No matter how many there are, it is still a great harvest, and Meng Zhao does not refuse.
"Collect them all, then write them down one by one, prepare equivalent gifts in return, and ask Uncle Zhong to come forward and contact them.
As for the boss, go to him in person and tell him that I accept your offer.
It’s just that the news has been relatively tight recently. In a few days, I will find an opportunity to entertain him and have a good talk about brotherhood.”
Even though the second wife Meng Zhao inherited was not a big deal in the entire Meng family, it was still a big family and it was worthy of the gifts given by others.
Therefore, in line with the principle of reciprocity in dealing with things, accepting congratulatory gifts means accepting the congratulations, and having others return gifts means not letting others suffer or taking advantage of others. This character is immediately highlighted.
In addition, he is currently in the limelight, and the entire county is probably paying attention to his activities. It is inconvenient for him to go around, so he wants to keep a low profile.
Therefore, asking Lu Zhong, the second housekeeper and a talented expert to come forward to return the gift is considered as giving enough face and will not cause anyone to find fault.
To be honest, Meng Zhao saw the hidden heritage of the Meng family, and his views on many families were more or less contemptuous.
This bunch of outsiders are actually no different from the mob. If the Sun family is powerful, they will be close to the Sun family. If the Meng family is powerful, they will be close to the Meng family.
Never talk to them about feelings or morality, that is just ogling a blind man and it will be in vain.
However, he still understands the principle that when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise, and he is willing to make more friends.
There may be opportunities to use them in the future.
Cats have their own catwalks, and mice have their own rat lanes. Sometimes the difficult things he can't do may be easy for others.
Asking Lu Le to write down the names of these families and the people who gave the gifts is equivalent to weaving a network of relationships.
Lu Le chuckled and let out a sigh, obviously in a good mood, knowing that after this battle, the second house would be rejuvenated.
Nowadays, even the people who work under the second house have a completely different mental outlook, which makes people feel full of energy at first sight and dare not underestimate them.
Then he looked at Meng Zhao cautiously and said hesitantly,
"Master, do you really want to entertain the eldest son at a banquet? He was not very friendly to our second wife in the past."
Meng Zhao slowly took the spoon and scooped out a spoonful of milky white porridge with a strong fragrance. He then swallowed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully for a moment. After swallowing it, a stream of essence rose up in his body and was instantly torn into pieces.
Spend away, turn into internal force, Tao,
"Ale, after all, the boss is still my eldest brother. This is undeniable.
Although the relationship was not good in the past, it was not a real antagonism. Now that he is determined to repair the relationship, why don't I just go along with it?"
"But, young master, if you repair the relationship with the eldest young master, what will happen with the second young master? We used to be closer to the second young master."
Meng Zhao smiled, with a hint of ridicule on his handsome face, and asked,
"Then among the gifts you received, were there things from my second brother?
Or to be more direct, my second brother, after I avenged such a big revenge for him, did he say anything?"
As soon as this sentence was asked, Lu Le suddenly felt like a wake-up call. His face turned red and white for a while. After thinking about something, he lowered his head and said,
"I understand, it's just that the young master and the eldest son still can't completely believe it.
Although I don’t know much about the eldest son’s personality these years, I have heard some rumors and he is not the kind of broad-minded person.”
He took great risks to advise Meng Zhao.
People say that a close relationship cannot come from a distance. After all, Meng Zhao and Meng Xi are blood cousins. There are no two Meng Lai in one sentence, and he is just a steward of the Meng family. It can be seen that loyalty is indeed the main thing.
Meng Zhao was very happy. He didn't want a yes-man who could just muddle along, nor a two-faced person who was loyal on the surface but made random calculations in reality. He wanted someone like Lu Le, who could use such a person.
Don't worry.
"You, you, you can just say this here. Outside, remember to control your mouth and don't let the wind leak out.
You know what kind of person Meng Xi is, and so do I, but this does not affect our ability to make peace with him for the time being.
Ah Le, you have to know that with Meng Wen, if I defeat Shi Siming, it will be like stepping on his face, and he does not have that kind of broad mind and courage, so our relationship will end here, and it will be difficult to get better. p>
Moreover, the so-called close relationship in the past was just that he wanted to win over my second wife and me to help him and support him in his fight against the boss.
The true brotherhood is not as good as the sincerity between the two of us."
Lu Le was moved in his heart, and his voice unconsciously trembled.
"Then after?"
"The future is a matter of the future. My uncle and third uncle are still the heads of the Meng family now. It is not the turn of the two younger generations to intervene. We can develop quietly and accumulate strength.
No one can predict what the future will bring, so Ah Le, you have to take good care of the second room here and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Meng Zhao has a tiger in his heart and is ambitious.
Ban's idea of seizing power is not something that can be said in a day or two, but he will never say it out loud.
This is true even in front of Lu Le, who has no possibility of leaking the news.
As for his relationship with Meng Xi and Meng Wen, from the day he learned that he was carrying the Heavenly Mirror, he never thought about being dependent on others and being a dog to others.
Lu Le hummed, put the booklet in his hand back into his cuff, and was about to go out.
Then I saw two burly men in black walking in carrying a sack.
