There is a saying that people don't ask for others to be tall, and if they ask for someone's name, naturally they can only endure this idleness.
After leaving the Xia Mansion, Xu Yi hosted a banquet in honor of the two of them.
Just like Zhen Ping, Wu Quan also respected Xu Yi very much. At the wine table, Wu Quan repeatedly stated that Guanshi Xia was famous for doing things as soon as he received gifts, and his reputation and reputation had always been excellent.
He also revealed a secret, saying that the reason why Guanshi Xia has so much power in the Xia Mansion is because Guanshi Xia's direct sister is Xia Sibo's most favored concubine.
With this relationship, Xu Yi felt a little relieved.
He also knows that the Yin Court today is extremely turbid, and there is no one who is not greedy or occupying. After all, officials belong to the Yin Court, and the benefits belong to themselves. Everyone needs resources to cultivate themselves, so how can they have the energy to serve the people.
Xu Yi was toasting and chatting, waiting for the good news, but there was a lot of commotion at the Xia Mansion.
Xu Yi waited for the talents to go, so Guanshi Xia picked up a big box and went to the upper room to look for Xia Sibo.
In order to show the richness of the gift, Xia Guanshi deliberately poured out the three hundred incense fire beads from the Sumeru Ring and stuffed them directly into the treasure box.
When he arrived, Xia Sibo was checking official documents in the study, and a charming and charming woman was at the side adding fragrance with bare hands.
Seeing him coming in, the charming woman frowned and said, "Didn't I say that when my husband is busy with his business, no one is allowed to disturb him, brother is so ignorant."
This woman is Guanshi Xia's younger sister, and is now the most favored female family member in Xia's mansion.
The displeasure on Xia Sibo's face disappeared immediately, he waved his hands and said, "Xia Fang is not an outsider, why should Zhenniang be harsh, tell me, what's the matter?"
Xia Guan didn't answer in advance, but opened the treasure chest in his arms, and in an instant, the lights sprinkled on the incense beads, illuminating the study brilliantly.
Zhenniang beamed with joy, Xia Sibo's face sank, "You have accepted gifts again, but I beat you more than once, why are you always a dog... you don't have a long memory."
Xia Guanshi said, "This person shot very hard, a total of three hundred."
A look of shock flashed across Xia Sibo's face, he stared at the treasure box for a few breaths, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Manager Xia told Xu Yi what he asked for, and Xia Sibo's face darkened, "I know that there is no gain in vain, and this matter cannot be done, so I will send it back."
Manager Xia had a bitter look on his face, and he waited to persuade, Xia Sibo said angrily, "What, you are really the head of the current Xia Mansion?"
With a thud, Guanshi Xia knelt down on the ground and said "Don't dare".
Zhenniang also knelt down on the ground, sobbing, and the pear blossoms were crying immediately.
Xia Sibo lifted Zhenniang up distressedly, "Why do you do this, when did I annoy you?"
Zhenniang choked and said, "It's not because Master is angry with Zhenniang, Zhenniang is just angry that her brother didn't give Zhenniang a face, but made Master angry, Zhenniang's brother is incompetent, Zhenniang's face is dull, madam knows this, I will definitely attack with this, and Xia Lang will be more troubled, Zhenniang does not want Xia Lang to be sad."
Xia Sibo was full of regret, hugged Zhenniang in his arms, and said in a warm voice, "Don't worry Zhenniang, how can I let that jealous woman know about this, and don't be angry with Xia Fang, he always needs it, but he just doesn't know the inside story."
After comforting Zhenniang, Xia Sibo swept through a stream of air, and lifted Guanshi Xia up, "It's not because I'm hard-hearted, it's because this matter can't be done, you should know who can get the official talisman, which one is not a hand-eye Tongtian, if the time is earlier, it may not be impossible to operate, but in three days it will be the appointment of officials, who should be assigned what kind of official position, there are names. Go ahead and return the things to others."
Manager Xia took the order, and when he bowed and stepped back, he caught a glimpse of Zhenniang's eyes and was puzzled.
After half a stick of incense, Dongmei, Zhenniang's personal maid, came to invite her. Manager Xia came to Zhuxin Courtyard and met Zhenniang.
There were no outsiders around, and Guanshi Xia no longer kept the etiquette, sat on the stone bench, grabbed the snacks on the stone table and ate them by himself.
Zhenniang said angrily, "Even if you put on a dragon robe, you will not be able to become a prince. It has been three years since you were promoted to a university and you still can't get rid of your wandering ways. When will you become a prince?"
Manager Xia ignored her, grabbed the jug, and poured it into his mouth, "If you have something to say, tell me, Mr. Zhang still invites me to play leaf cards, I don't have time to listen to your ramblings."
Zhenniang said, "The three hundred incense and fire beads, do you really plan to return them?"
Manager Xia was startled, stopped eating and drinking immediately, stared at Zhenniang in surprise and said, "What do you mean, you don't want to play with these three hundred incense fire beads, do you? No, absolutely no, that person must wait, It is the person who holds the official talisman, not only the three hundred incense and fire beads must be returned, but also the benefits I received from others must also be returned."
Zhenniang scoffed, "I didn't expect you to be willing to let go of the fat in your mouth, but you have grown up."
Guanshi Xia said, "This is not a matter of reluctance. Our matter is like doing business. We are looking at the long-term. We must not ruin our reputation just because we are greedy for short-term profits. If our reputation is damaged, the business I'm the leader, I can figure out which one is more and which one is less. Not only I can figure it out, but Lord Sibo can also figure it out, otherwise, you think that these three hundred incense fire beads really can't get into Lord Sibo Dharma eyes?"
Zhenniang said, "That's the reason, but there are rules and regulations. Now is an extraordinary time, and an extraordinary strategy should be used. The old man's birthday is approaching, and the old jealous woman is dying. Those coquettish bastards are holding back their energy before the old man's birthday." At this moment, there are some disturbances. At this time, how can I be inferior. Although Xia Lang dotes on me, but without the old man nodding, I can't even try to straighten him up. Brother, do you understand what I mean?"
Manager Xia was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Zhenniang continued, "If things go wrong, my brother will just lose his money, but if my sister can be righted, the entire Xia family will be ours, whichever end is more and which end is less, I don't need to teach my brother to settle the debt. .”
Guanshi Xia suppressed his frivolity, sighed, and said, "I don't know that my current wealth is all due to my younger sister. The younger sister's affairs are naturally the most important. It's just that the person is very important. He can get the official talisman. There are no simple people, and in terms of official rank, they are not inferior to Lord Sibo, and if I provoke such people, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles."
Zhenniang said, "I'm not stealing by chance. Brother can discuss with that person, so he said to give it to him later, but don't make a written statement. With Xia Lang's face, there can always be some grace. At that time, my sister will straighten up, Three hundred incense and fire beads can still be obtained from Xia Lang."
Manager Xia pondered for a moment, and said, "That's all. Fortunately, this person is a loose official with no roots. It is expected that there will be no big disturbances. It is better to talk to him. If he agrees, he agrees. If he disagrees, ignore him." That's it, is it possible that he can still call the door?"
Zhenniang waved her hand, "It must not be like this. Respect people three feet and greet them with a smile. That person can't ask for Xia Lang now. As long as he is not an official, he can always ask for it, and he will definitely not tear his face."
Xia Guanshi smiled and said, "It's still my younger sister Gao Ming."
