When the messengers who were chatting saw Xu Huan's figure, they quickly calmed down and sat upright.
Even though Governor Xu is just a governor now, the power he controls now is probably greater than that of Wu Zijing in the past. It's just that he comes from a literary background, has a peaceful temperament, and seems to be easy to get along with.
Xu Huan showed a smile, raised his hands and bowed his hands, and said: "It's a small matter at home, and I'm tired of you all traveling far. Thank you for your hard work."
The envoys from various states in Chu hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I don't dare. Your Excellency is happy, and we should congratulate you."
Someone else added: "Miss Third and Daxi, what does it mean if we walk a few steps?"
These words were really flattering. After hearing this, the envoys from other states couldn't help but cursed in their hearts for being shameless. Looking back and thinking deeply, it seems that the Xu family's power is more stable than they imagined. The states in Chu almost regard him as
Home is the main thing, and if this family relationship can be formed, it will definitely bring great help.
With this in mind, everyone became more attentive and the scene became more lively. Even if you can't get what you want, it is always right to make friends with a powerful person.
Everyone sat down again, and the Xingtong envoy who belonged to Chu Di took the lead. He stood up and handed over his hands: "Master Xu, my lord has carefully prepared a gift. I would like to ask the third lady to see if she likes it."
Seeing Xu Huan nod, the Xingtong envoy waved with a smile on his face.
The guards brought up a box, and the Xingtong envoy opened it himself. Everyone looked over, but they only saw a box full of - black soil?
what?
The Xingtong envoy looked pleased and turned around and said: "My lord said that the third lady is not an ordinary person, but a star from the sky descending to earth. Of course, an immortal must be equipped with immortal objects. Half of our jurisdiction in Xingtong is a mountainous area, and there are some rare ones."
Medicinal materials. Your Excellency ordered the herbal collectors in Xingtong to search for more than half a year, and finally found this thing——"
As he said that, the guard took out a dark thing from the black soil, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and then presented it to him.
This thing looks like Ganoderma lucidum. The umbrella cover is red in color and shiny in color, but the rhizome is strangely shaped. It looks like a little man riding a horse and holding an umbrella.
"This is our specialty in Xingtong, called Zhima. Have you ever heard of Zhiren Zhima? It is said that it can become an immortal. Although our Zhima is not as good as the legendary fairy grass, it can beautify the skin and prolong life.
Years are no big deal. The third lady is a fairy-like person, only this horse can barely match her..."
Everyone listened to his nonsense and laughed secretly. Where did Xingtong find such a person? He was so flattering that he didn't even want to be flattered!
Xu Huan listened with a smile all the time. After he finished speaking, he told the waiter: "In that case, please send it in and ask the third lady to take a look."
Huh? The envoys from other states and counties were a little surprised.
This gift is said to be given to Miss Xu San, but the real person in charge of the Xu Mansion is Xu Huan. Whether the gift is good or not depends on what he says. Listening to this now, although Miss Xu San is in the house, the matter is still hers
Make the decision yourself? Many people’s hearts moved, looking for some meaning.
The envoys from the Chu states were used to it. They watched the waiter enter, and soon a round-faced maid came out.
She saluted Xu Huan, turned around and said loudly: "Miss said, this horse has miraculous effects of replenishing blood and producing flesh. It may be able to save lives in critical moments, but it is very rare. It must have taken a lot of effort, Mr. An is thoughtful."
The Xingtong envoy smiled, glanced at everyone triumphantly, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "As long as the third lady is satisfied, no matter how much effort it takes, it will be worth it."
The next one is Yingzhong's envoy. He is not as flattering as the previous one, but his attitude is more respectful.
"We don't have any specialties in Yingzhong, so we hung a notice high at the city gate. After several months, we finally received a box of gems from a businessman from the Western Regions so that the third lady could make some hairpin rings. The gift is meager, so please don't take it personally.
."
When he opened the box and revealed the gems inside, the envoy from afar took in a breath of cold air and couldn't help but look a little confused.
A gem of such good quality was given to the Xu family even if it was a tribute? How could Miss Xu San have such a high status in the states of Chu?
Xu Huan still smiled and nodded, and asked people to take him inside.
After a while, the maid came out again to send a message: "Miss, I like it very much. Thank you for your trouble. I heard that Yingzhong did not leave enough autumn seeds this year. It happened that Nanyuan harvested a batch the day before yesterday. Please take it with you when you go back."
The envoy Yingzhong was overjoyed. This batch of gems cost a lot of money, and it hurts to think about it. But if he can get autumn seeds in exchange, his trip will be worthwhile. Autumn seeds represent several months of food, so this winter Yingzhong
That would be better!
"Thank you, Third Miss, thank Third Miss."
The envoy from Yingzhong returned to his seat happily, while the envoys from other prefectures and counties were secretly shocked.
The ninth young master of Chu looked at each other and the accompanying staff, and thoughtfully struck the folding fan in his hand.
How is Yingzhong's behavior different from paying tribute? Moreover, food is precious nowadays, so Miss Xu San gave the autumn seeds in return without asking her father at all, and Governor Xu had no objection, which is enough to illustrate her status in the Xu family.
Coming to Nanyuan to seek marriage was a plan that his father had painstakingly planned for him. He wanted to use this marriage to elevate his status and establish him as the heir apparent. Now it seems that this marriage is more rare than he thought. Xu Huan indulged his second daughter in this way.
, seems to plan to pass the family business to her.
If we can get Nanyuan, coupled with Hexing's power, we might be able to plot something even bigger...
Master Chu Jiu held the folding fan tightly, secretly excited in his heart.
He couldn't help but glance at the opposite side. On the left was Jiang Yue and on the right was Zheng Liu. Jiang Yue didn't know what he was thinking and was drinking absentmindedly. Master Chu Jiu only glanced at it and moved away. Although Jiang Yue was young and promising, he just
How can a disciple be compared with a genuine heir like him? He doesn't seem to have any thoughts at all. The important thing is Zheng Liu, who this time...
Looking over, it happened that Mr. Zheng Liu also looked up, facing each other, and then silently moved away tacitly.
He is not a fool, he is as destined to win as he is!
While he was thinking about it, most of the prefectures and counties had finished presenting their gifts. Miss Xu San sent her maids out one by one to express her gratitude. If there were any gifts that were too valuable, she gave some gifts in return. Everyone was happy and happy.
At this time, a young voice with a slight accent rang out: "Prefect Xu, Alu has also prepared some congratulatory gifts. I hope the third lady will like them."
This is a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. He is tall and slim, but he is wearing a gorgeous and exotic robe, and a crown made of animal horns on his head.
Unlike those envoys, he sat and talked. Xu Huan's attitude towards him was also different from others. He even bent slightly and smiled warmly: "Your Highness is very polite. Your arrival is our greatest honor.
"
"But you still have to have gifts." After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and immediately guards in similar costumes brought up large boxes, which took up almost half of the lobby.
Master Chu Jiu's heart skipped a beat. There was also Prince Liang here, and he was no less of a threat than Zheng Liu.
