The housekeeper stood aside, looked at the beaming Meng Xianzong, and said happily: "Congratulations, sir!"
Meng Xianzong said proudly: "You old dog, you should congratulate me. From now on, I will rise to prominence, and it is not impossible for me to become a general or a general in the future. As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, from now on, you will also belong to a high-ranking family."
You are a housekeeper. When you go out, others should respect you."
"hey-hey……"
The housekeeper was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Seeing Meng Xianzong arranging his clothes again, the housekeeper asked curiously: "Master, I wonder where you are going?"
It's already dusk outside.
Meng Xianzong said with a smile: "Of course I am going to visit Master Shangshu. Today, Master Shangshu went to the palace to meet with His Majesty. I think there is news about Du He's treatment and the selection of the new host and guest doctor. I will go and find out first.
Tan Kou Feng. As the host and guest, I naturally need Mr. Chen’s full help in this matter. I will bring the best gifts and prepare the carriages and horses..."
"Yes!" The housekeeper hurriedly ran to prepare.
…
dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines over Chang'an City.
The sky is golden.
Meng Xianzong's mood was as good as the dusk in Chang'an City.
The carriage arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion.
Meng Xianzong got off the carriage, hugged the gift, stepped forward, and said to the porter: "I am Meng Xianzong, the chief guest of the Ministry of Rites. I have something to pay my respects to Mr. Chen. Please let me know."
Seeing Meng Xianzong's gorgeous clothes and extraordinary bearing, the concierge did not dare to neglect and hurried in.
Not long after, the concierge came out, his expression no longer as good as before, and he just said lightly: "Mr. Meng, right? Our master said that he doesn't want to see you."
Don't want to see me?
Meng Xianzong was stunned.
He hurriedly stepped forward, took out a money bag from his arms, stuffed it into the concierge, and said: "I saw Mr. Chen, it's really urgent. Could you please go and report again, and tell me that I have prepared a thousand-year-old ginseng tree, and I want to donate it to you."
To Mr. Chen."
The concierge looked at it and found that there was quite a lot of money in the bag, so he turned around and went back.
After a while, the concierge came back.
Meng Xianzong came up and asked anxiously: "How is it? What did Mr. Chen say?"
The concierge shook his head.
Meng Xianzong asked: "What did Master Cheng say?"
The concierge threw the money bag to Meng Xianzong and said displeasedly: "Our master tells you to get out!"
Boom.
The concierge turned around and closed the door of Chen's mansion.
Meng Xianzong was dumbfounded.
He hurried back home and then asked someone to find out the news.
When he got the news, Meng Xianzong almost vomited blood.
Today, the host and guest manager indeed raided the catering department.
But the end result is that the host and guest became the victim. Ma Tianyu, the doctor of the catering department, went home to think about it for a month and was fined a year's salary. The host and guest were fined three months.
Mr. Chen was even scolded by His Majesty.
boom.
Meng Xianzong began to smash things in the mansion.
The butler didn't know why and asked: "Sir, are you still going to the guest house tomorrow?"
Meng Xianzong roared: "Go, go to hell. Now, the host and guests are all people from Du He. They are just the same. If I go, won't I be a wolf in the tiger's mouth? I won't wait to be beaten to death by those people."
, How can this be the case? How can it not be the case..."
…
The next day.
Meng Xianzong took the initiative to transfer from the Ministry of Rites and went to Dali Temple.
At this point, the entire host and guest department are all Du He's people.
And the news that the host and guests had beaten up the catering department also spread throughout Chang'an City.
Many people were surprised at first, but they didn't feel surprised when they finally found out that the host and guest was Du He.
…
A few days later.
Royal study room.
Zhao Yang walked in in a hurry and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Host and Guest Department and the Ministry of War are fighting."
"Oh? What's going on?"
Zhao Yang shook his head: "I don't know the details yet. I heard that someone from the Ministry of War called the Host and Guest Department a bunch of bandits. Zhu Ping from the Host and Guest Department led his men and beat up all the people in the Ministry of War."
Li Er said with a smile: "Hearsay is not trustworthy. A few days ago, Chen Aiqing also categorically said in front of me that it was the host and guest department who beat up the dining department. But in fact, it was the dining department who bullied the host and guest department. Now,
, I think so. There are many veterans in the Ministry of War. These people are all military generals. The Host and Guest Department is just a group of civil servants. Do you think civil servants can break into the Ministry of War? It must be the Ministry of War that is causing trouble. Go and bring my oral instructions to Hou Aiqing and ask him to
Please take good care of the people in the Ministry of War and avoid causing trouble."
Zhao Yang smacked his lips and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Not much time.
The Host and Guest Division beat the Ministry of War. When His Majesty received the news, instead of punishing the Host and Guest Division, he blamed the Ministry of War.
From then on, in the entire imperial city, no one dared to offend the host and guest, and they went to the extent of walking sideways.
…
spring is coming.
The ice and snow melt.
early morning.
Chang'an City, outside Yongning Gate.
Several carriages were parked on the roadside.
Standing on the roadside was a figure, none other than the current Left Prime Minister, Fang Xuanling.
A few days ago, Fang Yiai sent a letter saying that he would arrive in Chang'an today. Fang Xuanling personally came to the city gate with his family to greet him.
As the ice and snow melt, the temperature will be lower, especially in the early morning.
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but rub her hands and laughed.
Mrs. Fang brought a cloak, put it on him, and said, "Master, go to the carriage and wait. There is a stove in the carriage, so it will be warmer."
Fang Xuanling shook his head: "As a woman, I have been away from home for nearly a year. When I went to Jiangnan, I heard that he was very successful. The development of Dream Group in Hu County is inseparable from his operations in Jiangnan."
...I can also see from the letters exchanged between Yiai and Yiai that Yiai is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be. This time he returns to Beijing, I plan to go to His Majesty and find an official position for him...
"
Fang Xuanling talked nonchalantly.
Mrs. Fang asked: "Does Yiai know that we are waiting for him here?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Why don't you know? I wrote him a letter early. I made such a big battle just to tell the people in Chang'an City that my son is back. Yiai is so sensible, so he must know about me."
After all the hard work of being a father, he will definitely come here quickly. Madam, please tell everyone, just hold on a little longer, and we will go home after receiving the last love."
Mrs. Fang had no choice but to nod.
…
Lai Kingdom Government House.
backyard.
Du He sat under the tree.
He turned on the system.
"Super lottery system!"
"Host: Du He."
"Age: 19."
"Shock value: 99898 (one lottery can be given for every 50,000 shock value)."
This means that Du He can win the lottery once.
Du He's heart moved: "System, lottery."
System: "Host, do you want to spend 50,000 shock points and draw a lottery?"
"yes!"
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a manual copier."
Boom.
A box as tall as a person fell in front of Du He.
Copier?
Du He's first reaction was that there was no electricity in this era. Should we use frictional electricity to supply it?
After hearing the introduction of the system, he understood.
"This copier is a fully manual machine, made of polymer composite materials, and its durability is permanent."
It turned out to be a purely manual machine.
He couldn't wait to open it.
I found that this copier is very large, and there is something like a writing pad inside. You just need to paste something on it and it can be copied, or you can directly write on it and it can be printed out.
And the ink can be put in by yourself.
Du He couldn't wait to go back to the house, took out a book, tore out a page and put it on.
Then he walked underneath and turned a handle that resembled a tractor key.
Wow.
After a while, a page came out.
Du He took it over and took a look, and was stunned.
It's simply too high-tech.
This copy is exactly the same without any distortion.
Du He fiddled around and finally determined that this was a manual copier. It sounded backward, but in fact it was not. The materials used in this thing were very high-end and the mechanical structure was also very complex.
However, Du He hadn't figured out what to use it for.
He hurriedly called Lu Bu over and ordered: "Lu Bu, get this thing into my house. You must watch it carefully at all times. Don't let anyone get close except me."
"Yes, young master!" Lu Bu agreed, carrying the copy machine and entering the room.
Du He sat down again, thinking in his mind.
Suddenly, a choked voice came from behind him: "Teacher..."
Um?
Du He thought.
He said to himself: "This voice is a bit familiar... It seems to belong to Fang Yiai. No, Fang Yiai is still in Jiangnan. How could he appear in Chang'an? It must be an auditory hallucination."
Not far behind him.
Fang Yiai, whose face was full of joy, suddenly looked startled.
He just sent a letter to Du He a few days ago, saying that he expected to arrive in Chang'an today.
Who knows, the teacher thought I was in Jiangnan?
Teacher... No, the teacher must have worked too hard recently and not had a good rest, so he is confused.
Teacher, you can't work too hard!
"Teacher, it's really me, I'm back..." Fang Yiai said again.
Swish.
Du He turned around and looked at Fang Yiai, who was dusty and dusty, with eyes filled with enthusiasm.
Fang Yiai walked up to Du He and said in a choked voice: "Teacher... I'm back!"
Tears welled up in his eyes.
Snapped.
Du He slapped the table and said angrily: "Xiao Ai, you are such an idiot. You didn't say hello in advance when you wanted to come. You suddenly appeared behind me. You want to scare me to death!"
Fang Yiai said: "Teacher, I sent a letter a few days ago to tell you that I am coming today..."
Du He was stunned.
letter?
He hasn't read letters for a long time.
Since he became famous, the girls and wives in Chang'an City have been writing to him every now and then.
It’s really too busy!
Du He stopped reading the letters.
He laughed: "Xiao Ai, do you think the teacher has forgotten you? In fact, the teacher just made fun of you. The teacher knows that you are an emotional child. You suddenly came back from Jiangnan and saw your teacher.
I will definitely not be able to help crying. I don’t like to see a man like you cry, so I made a joke in this way. Do you think you don’t want to cry now?”
"Teacher, I...wow..."
Fang Yiai burst into tears, unable to hold back her emotions any longer.
Du He: "..."
Good guy, Fang Yiai cried for a full stick of incense. Du He was a little surprised, wondering if this guy was made of water.
