Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao talked with Lao Yuan's head for an afternoon.

At dinner time, Liao Qing and the others invited Lao Yuan to visit the Princess's Mansion for dinner. Lao Yuan's mansion didn't go too far, so Xu Jiaojiao went to the nearest restaurant, ordered a large table of delicious wine and food, and sent it to the escort agency. The three of them raised a bonfire in the yard, eating and drinking happily, and drinking.

The old Yuan Piaotou was drowsy and pulled the sleeves of Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao and said, "You little couple have really become high-ranking officials. They are not arrogant or impatient at all. Let me eat and drink with an old man. You two friends, our escort agency has the right person..."

At night, Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao settled the old Yuan Bod Head and returned to the princess's mansion.

When he returned to the mansion, Master Ji told him that someone had come to the court.

An old man came here with the emperor's official decree to appoint Liao Qing. He was a senior official of the third rank and above, and he must be recognized by the emperor in Daxiang Kingdom.

Liao Qing was not here at that time. Master Ji wanted to send someone to find him, but the father-in-law said no, so he explained it and went back.

If you put it on ordinary people, you will definitely wait for the order in the mansion honestly, but Liao Qing seemed to have forgotten that such an important thing ran out, leaving his father-in-law with no idea what to say. But he also knew that the two people in this mansion were not comparable to ordinary people, and were very important in Emperor Zhu's heart, so even if he was a little dissatisfied, he could only put it away.

"Wife, I'm going to go to court to start tomorrow..."

Liao Qing said something.

The expression on his face was a little wonderful, with a little joy, a little expectation, a little relaxation, and a little unwillingness.

Xu Jiaojiao understood his mood. She was originally a wild man, but she has come to this day step by step. It is really not easy, but she is also a little uncomfortable.

I'm used to being casual.

So he encouraged, "Well, I have to go to work on time. I have to listen to my leader in the future, but I have to listen to my wife, do you know?"

Liao Qing opened his mouth, "Wife, are you considered comforting?"

Xu Jiaojiao said strangely, "Do you need comfort? Don't behave like a cheap person! Who is promoted like a rocket like you?"

well!

Forget it, the man’s suffering is the only one who can cover up his own suffering. Liao Qing decided not to argue.

Another thing is that there are a lot of people coming to give gifts today.

Almost never stopped.

Some sends it to the housekeeper, some deliver it to the door in person, all of them are large and small bags, and of course some are purely visiting, but the first time you visit, are you allowed to express your feelings?

So, no one came empty-handed.

Mr. Ji used a room to hold these gift bags. He didn't know who should accept them and who should not. Besides, through these gifts, we can also know the attitude and intention of some people.

So they all accepted.

Anyway, he marked the gift giver's name on these things. If he doesn't want to accept them, he can return them tomorrow.

This matter must be done as soon as possible, otherwise someone might sue them for bribes.

Those who are officials are naturally more particular about their work than those in the countryside, and they will be presented with a list when giving gifts.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't have to open the big bags and small bags to know who gave them something, otherwise she wouldn't have finished doing this overnight.

Master Ji presented a thick stack of gift lists, and at first glance, there were forty or fifty pieces...

"Come on, look at it. Those who cost more than one hundred taels of silver will be returned tomorrow."

With so many orders, Xu Jiaojiao, the housekeeper, could not see anything, so she decisively captured the strong man.

Liao Qing and Master Ji had no choice but to accept their fate.

Erya and Eer are young, and they may not understand the value of some objects, so they are watching them for the time being.

Xu Jiaojiao picked up the first one,

"Zhang Zongzheng, the Zongren Mansion, 1,000 taels of silver, 20 pieces of high-quality silk, 10 pieces of fragrant cloud gauze, 20 pieces of satin of various colors, 20 pieces of brocade..., one red gold and Ruyi hairpin, one pair of gold enamel nine peach small furnace, two pairs of white jade lotus pants with ears..."

Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment.

Zong Zhengna's first-rank official gave them so many gifts? The key is that Zong Zhengna's royal family members, who were afraid that the royal family would be close to them, would she want to return them all?

If you want to say it is expensive, most of these things cannot be said to be very expensive, they are all useful in the future.

What to do?

She found that her rules were determined, but they could not resist the reality!

MMP, forget it,

He Yin returns, keep the rest!

I don't know that the remaining amount is many times more than one hundred taels of silver, but there is no way. She can't slap the royal family in the face, for fear that even a thousand taels of silver cannot be returned. Then, she can only find a chance to give gifts and return it.

The second gift list also lists a large number of them, which belongs to the Duan family.

The Duan family in the capital was favored by their ancestors and had some status, but there were no high-ranking officials in the court. Later, the legitimate son Duan Fengwu won the top scholar in Wu, married Du Zhengyan's daughter, and made some minor achievements, which made Emperor Zhu's eyes. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected situation in the world. Later, Emperor Zhu was assassinated in his family, and the Duan family suffered an unrestrained disaster and became unknown.

The gift this time was not light.

According to Xu Jiaojiao's idea, the Duan family was not blamed for being assassinated by Emperor Zhu, and the Duan family was too unfair.

Duan Fengwu is quite good. If possible, she is willing to help them.

So how should he deal with his gift?

Going back makes people feel cold; not going back makes people violate the rules she just set.

Well, her rules just now didn't work. Could it be that this time it didn't work either?

A headache!

Xu Jiaojiao deeply understood for the first time. What is a shallow sense of knowledge on paper, and she must practice it by knowing it.

Forget it, I'd better go back, but let them know clearly and they will definitely not refuse if they can help.

As for whether they believe it or not, there is nothing they can do.

That's it.

There are still a lot of things I haven't seen, so I can't waste time.

Open the third gift list.

From the Lin family.

There are many people with the surname Lin in the capital, but the most famous one is naturally Lin Hanlin.

There are more things on this gift list, dense, and it makes people lose the patience of reading it. Xu Jiaojiao read it roughly, but there were no expensive items, and they were basically practical things.

It's still reliable for my family, but there are too many of these things.

"This is from the Lin family, take a look!" He threw it to Liao Qing.

Liao Qing looked at it and said, "It's nothing. We must visit us. I'll just return the gift to them when the time comes."

That's true.

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and continued to look through.

Next, she unswervingly implemented the rules she set, leaving only some ordinary gifts, and packed them up and returned them. Well, except for a few, a few exceptions, not counted.

"Hey, this is a bit weird."
