I am Fugui

Chapter 178 Several Gold Bars
At dusk at sunset, a round of red sun hangs on the thin branches, and the setting sun shines on the river surface, floating like gold.

The bright red sun is like a little girl's flushed face, and the clouds in the sky are colorful, fiery red, golden yellow, silver gray, just like fairy silks and satins.

Yunxi County is like an ancient monster, quietly crawling on the ground, and the afterglow covered her with a golden halo.

Pedestrians walked on the streets of the county town in twos and threes. At the gate of the city, Xu Fugui and the others stepped on the stone road.

They looked down and saw that the red confetti after the firecrackers were set off was scattered on the cobblestone road, colorful flags were fluttering on both sides of the street, and slogans were eye-catching on the walls outside the shops.

Obviously, today's Yunxi County is also ushering in a carnival, and the scale is much larger than that of Xujia Village.

Without stopping, they came straight to the Chen Mansion. There were more red confetti in front of the Chen Mansion, piled up in a thin layer, and there were a few red lanterns hanging under the eaves.

The black door was open, and when Aunt Chen saw them, she hurriedly and enthusiastically welcomed them in.

"Where's my father?" Jiazhen asked with a smile after entering the Chen residence.

"Sir is entertaining guests in the main room."

Jiazhen snorted, "Then let's go to the backyard, Fengxia, keep your voice down, and don't disturb the guests."

Fengxia nodded, then turned her head and covered Youqing's mouth, "Did you hear that, mother told you not to talk."

When he came to the backyard, Xu Fugui had just sat on the rattan chair, and Chen Liping, who was carrying a long gown, hurried over.

"father."

"Grandpa."

Chen Liping waved his hand as a greeting to them, and then came to Xu Fugui, "Fugui, come with me quickly, I can't stand it anymore."

Xu Fugui looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"You come with me first."

He got up and followed Chen Liping to the main room. On the way, Chen Liping said, "The big bosses are here again?"

"Here again?" Xu Fugui frowned.

Chen Liping nodded, "I told them earlier that I don't know anything about the marriage between the county seat and the bureau chief, but they don't know where to find out about you, so they came to see me directly at home today."

"Through your relationship, I want to send a gift to the county magistrate. We are friends for many years. It's not wrong for me to refuse, and it's not wrong if I don't refuse."

"Oh, Fugui, you don't know them, so you can just say that."

Xu Fugui smiled lightly for the rest of his life, smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt, and strode into the main room.

As soon as you walk in, good guy, there are several people in their 50s who are not angry and arrogant.

They generally wore black silk long gowns, crutches in their hands, and jade wrenches on their thumbs. They were obviously not ordinary people.

When they saw Xu Fugui, they were stunned for a moment, then stood up with enthusiastic smiles, cupped their hands and said, "So it's Fugui, come on, sit down."

"The Xu family has a unicorn. We missed it before, but now it seems that the Xu family is going to prosper again."

"Brother Chen, you have found a good son-in-law. We can't envy such luck."

Before their butts were seated, a bunch of good words came out of their mouths, all enthusiastically as if they knew each other very well.

Xu Fugui sat down with a smile, and greeted them modestly. Since they were not in a hurry, he was also willing to talk nonsense with them.

Looking at the faces of these people, Chen Liping couldn't help but groaned in his heart.

When Jiazhen married the Xu family, these people secretly laughed at him for having a second-rate son-in-law.

It's good now, seeing that Fugui is about to gain momentum, one after another came to flatter him, this is the heart of the people!

However, Chen Liping also enjoyed it quite a bit, and looking at Xu Fugui was even more pleasing to the eye, and he didn't feel disgusted at all like before.

After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, until the setting sun disappeared behind the mountain, someone couldn't help but said: "Fugui, to be honest, we came here for a request this time."

Xu Fugui looked at them with a smile, "To be specific, you are all my elders, if you can help me, I will definitely not refuse."

When these big bosses heard the words, there was another round of flattery, and good words continued.

"Ahem, that's it. I heard that you have a good relationship with County Du and Director Zhong?"

"That's it."

These people looked at each other excitedly, and tentatively said: "We also heard that County Du and Chief Zhong are going to get married tomorrow at a state-run hotel? County Chief Du asked you to arrange the marriage?"

Xu Fugou nodded again, "That's right."

These people became even more excited, and asked: "That's it, Fugui, County Magistrate Du's marriage is a major event in the entire Yunxi County, can we also go to rejoice?"

Xu Fugui shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work. County Magistrate Du said that we should do it in a small way, and he will only invite insiders."

"Yes, yes, we know that Du County is high-spirited and upright, and we really admire it for not wanting to waste people and money. We also don't want to bother the county magistrate, just thinking about whether we can give the county magistrate a small gift."

These few people looked at him anxiously, they were eager to build a relationship with Du Yuzhi, since ancient times, only with the support of those in power, businessmen like them have room to survive.

Xu Fugui tapped the table with his fingers, and was about to speak when the big bosses suddenly took out several boxes and put them on the table.

"Fugui, I heard that you like drinking tea. This box of Longjing tea is not worth much. Take it back and taste how it tastes."

"Hehe, I have a foreign cigarette here. I heard it's called a cigar. I'm old and I'm not used to smoking it. Don't dislike it."

"It's a coincidence, I have two bottles of foreign red wine here, and I'm not used to drinking them, Fugui, I'll give them to you."

"These things were supposed to be handed over to you by Brother Chen, but I didn't expect to see you today."

Seeing the fawning smiles of the few people, Xu Fugui looked at them with a half-smile, and nodded slightly under their uneasy eyes.

"Success, you want to congratulate the county magistrate. I have no reason to stop it. I will go to the state-run hotel tomorrow and I will accept the congratulations from everyone on behalf of the county magistrate."

These few bosses were relieved, smiled from the bottom of their hearts, bowed their hands again and again, and said good things in a compliment.

"It's getting late, so we won't bother you anymore, so let's take our leave first."

Chen Liping stood up and symbolically asked them to stay for dinner, but these people declined and left with their long gowns.

They had to quickly count the congratulatory gifts they prepared tomorrow, and whether they could establish a relationship with County Magistrate Du depended on this time.

Chen Liping looked at their leaving backs and shook his head. If he hadn't had his son-in-law to remind him, he might be one of them.

Who would have thought that County Magistrate Du would deliberately accept their gifts and use this to deal with them?
In the main room, Xu Fugui picked up the two foreign cigarettes. As soon as he took them, he felt that the weight was not right.

When I opened it, it looked like a cigar on the surface, but when I took out the cigar, there were several gold bars inside!
Xu Fugui held his breath, put the cigar back calmly, checked the Longjing tea and foreign red wine, there were also some gold bars inside.
