Chapter 188 Here Comes a Bribe

It's August, and although the sun is so hot that sweet potatoes can be baked, the land behind the Yuan Mansion is open to the sky, with trees and grass, and the wind is in the shade, which cools down a lot, and the Shangguan are very nervous. be free and easy.The master is not there, but the beauty is still hugging, and the laughter reaches Yuan Cheng's ears.

This way of eating, the problem of rabbit disaster should be solved?There was a flash of ink in Shaozi's eyes, and the hypocritical smile that had faded away suddenly became quite playful.Mo Zi's method of roasting rabbits is really useful.

"My lord, the third son has sent you a post, and there are gifts." Mingnian respectfully handed the post to Yuan Cheng, and at the same time tilted his body, carefully placing the wooden box under his arm on the stone table.After all, with one arm missing, he looked clumsier than ordinary people.

Yuan Cheng waited for him until he stood upright again, then sat on the stone bench and began to read the post.

Mingnian always feels very lucky to have a good master at times like this.It seems like a small matter, but he can feel the respect of adults for him.I remember that when he first came here, he did the same thing. Being stared at like this, he thought it was disgusting for a clumsy adult.Until one time it was not clamped well and the things could not be put down, the adults asked him if he wanted to help.Only then did he know that it was not that he hated him for being stupid, but that he could help him when necessary.He used to do odd jobs in Taixue, and if he passed something on, who would help him?If you are careless and fall, you will be beaten and scolded.How could he not give up when he met such a master?

"My lord, third son, why is this post so much smaller than others?" Mingnian saw Yuan Cheng turn over the post that was smaller than half a palm.

"Her mind is always a little different." Yuan Cheng answered the question of the valet casually, keeping his eyes on the nickname sticker in his hand.

On the corner of the front, there are bright red cornel flowers hanging down, and the river water is painted on the bottom, with sails on the river, and the words "Hongyu Shipyard" are written.The ink line on the white background on the back is not neat, but it looks good.A few lines of small purple characters, cursive script, with Mo Ge and Hongyu in charge, these six characters are the most eye-catching.In the last line, which direction is a certain official road outside a certain city gate, which direction passes a certain village to a certain depression by a certain river, and when he was looking at it, he realized that those ink lines were not real, but a simple map. Light gray text marks the places mentioned in the last line.

Mo Zi thinks that the name cards usually used are too big, and the sleeves take up space, and the purse is not so big, and she is only in charge, not the boss, so it is more "humble" to make a name card.

The problem is that she thinks very "humble", but her sworn brother is not humble, so he imitated her famous post and made a stack for herself with more expensive paper and famous calligraphy and paintings, as if the petals were sprinkled on people. .Immediately afterwards, Young Master Jin of the Gold and Silver Bank also began to use such small stickers and distributed them widely.

This post also allowed Yuan Cheng to choose an extremely elegant name, called Zhizhou Post.

Zhizhou stickers were used by officials and merchants of Yuancheng Gold and Silver, and they were small and easy to carry, so they created a whirlwind in Shangdu Paper Industry, and soon swept across the country, becoming the most commonly used famous stickers by dignitaries.Not only popular, but also handed down to future generations.

One day not long ago, Mo Zi exchanged name cards with a big customer, and the other party took out a gold plate Zhizhou sticker, and triumphantly introduced to her that the Zhizhou sticker was made by a famous treasure shop in Shanghai, and then It was a calligraphy and painting that was personally developed by some famous artist. She was dumbfounded and sweated on the spot, wondering whether she should accept this golden business card.

Only then did she know that the post she made on a whim not only had a name, but was also mass-produced by a certain "Second Young Master" and made a lot of money.So, she rushed to find the two to protest, and firmly demanded—dividends.

Let's go back to Yuan Cheng, put Mo Zi's famous post into Liu Fengxiu, and while feeling that this small post is really useful, he picked up the wooden box on the table and smiled when he saw it.

The wooden box has nothing fancy, but the workmanship is good, there is no rough place, it feels smooth, but it has not even been painted.

He laughed because of the two words engraved on the lid of the box——

Mind.

He had said to Mo Zi that if she wanted him to help, she didn't need to give him a gift in advance, but just gave him his heart afterwards.Not long ago, he sent her to Dr. Hua and his wife and Luo Ying, and saved her once more, and now he sent her his heart?

He caught a glimpse of Mingnian's long neck, and he couldn't admit it, because he was really curious about her intentions.

With a flick of the fingertip, the clasp of the box opens, and when the finger is raised again, a gap is exposed in the lid.

Immediately, the fragrance of flowers hit the face.

Mingnian's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help saying that it smelled so good.

Opening the lid of the box completely, he heard Ming Nian growl again, and his eyes narrowed.

A box of dried petals, as white as snowflakes, without a trace of variegation.Since he entered the officialdom, he admired the flowers every year, knowing that they were white peony.Among the dried petals of the white peony, there is a large white flower in full bloom.Different from the single petals of peony, the petals are stacked like pavilions and buildings, trembling slightly in the wind, but so graceful and luxurious.

The king of flowers, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and the peony is also.

The aroma attracted two colorful butterflies flying outside the pavilion, lingering on the white peony.

Although Mingnian thought the petals and flowers in this box were very beautiful, he said, "Third Young Master, why did you give flowers to adults?" It really doesn't make sense for women to give flowers to men.

He suddenly thought of going in a crooked way, immediately widened his eyes, and stammered, "Big...big...my lord..." No?Mr. Shaozi looks so good-looking, could it be that the third son, no, Miss Mo is expressing his admiration?

"Mingnian, you're stuttering, do you want a drink?" There was tea in the gazebo, Yuan Cheng poured a cup for Mingnian.

Seeing Yuan Cheng personally pouring tea for him, Ming Nian was agitated. He said how dare he bother you, but his movements were not slow at all.It's the glory of being a servant

"Okay, you continue." Yuan Cheng smiled, "What is it, my lord?"

His slender fingers touched the peonies in the box, and then suddenly.

"My lord, please forgive me. When I was in Taixue, I used to hear students talk about wearing something with a girl and a lady. It seemed to mean mutual affection. I thought, I thought, Maybe Miss Mo..." It takes courage to say it, but Mingnian took a look at Yuan Cheng, and his courage faltered.Because, at this time, the master didn't seem to hear a word he said.

Yuan Cheng raised his hand, lowered it, raised it again, and lowered it again. First, his fingertips touched lightly, and then he rubbed the petals between his fingers, which gradually became tighter.

Mingnian thought, the petals will fall if you knead like this.

Yuan Cheng stretched out his hands suddenly, and took Bai Mudan out of the box.The petals of the peony fell one after another, and the peony was still fluttering under the wind, while the sunlight outside the pavilion shone brightly.Although the two colorful butterflies flew away frightened by Yuan Cheng's actions, they circled around the pavilion, as if reluctant to part with such a fragrance.

"Mingnian, you know that peonies bloom in March and April, and the latest is only in June." He supported the peony with his left hand, and held the peony in his right palm. The light in his eyes seemed to overflow.

"Eh? I don't know the details, but peonies bloom in spring." There were several common peonies in the garden of Taixue, and he followed the gardener to water them.Thinking of this, Mingnian was surprised, "That's not right. Since it's not in flowering season, where did this white peony come from?"

Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows, and his smile deepened, "Try it yourself."

Mingnian touched the petals lightly, but he didn't feel any difference.

"Knead it harder. If it breaks, I'll ask you, third son, for another one." Yuan Cheng encouraged, "Since she bribed me, she can be more generous."

Mingnian also imitated Yuan Cheng and clenched his fingers tightly, wrinkled his face, then he was taken aback, let go of his hand quickly, and pointed at Bai Mudan, "My lord, this flower... this flower..."

Yuan Cheng didn't ask Mingnian to drink water this time, he just put the peony back in the box, closed the lid, and ordered, "Take the gift from the third son to my room."

Before Ming Nian came back, he left the pavilion and walked towards the drunk banquet under the tree.The closer to the laughter, the more slanted his shadow was, and the two sleeves were full of wind.When he sat down, his eyes were fascinated and his face was smiling, full of flair.

"My lords have been waiting for a long time. I don't have anything to offer in this manor. Please just let it go." His voice was gurgling, as light as a mountain stream.

"Master Zheng, the wildness in Master Yuan's mansion is wonderful, but don't you think the place where the dignified doctor lives is too shabby?" A half-drunk official glanced at Yuan Cheng, then said to the goatee Shangguan.

Others chimed in.

Yuan Cheng quickly pleaded guilty, saying that he had wronged the superiors.

Goatee is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which is equivalent to the head of personnel affairs now. Hearing it makes sense, he looked at a beautiful dancer and said without thinking, "Leave this matter to me. Mr. Yuan is The talented people praised by the emperor must be the pillars of my great Zhou in the future, how can I treat them badly? Even according to the title of the sixth rank, they must be neatly tidied up. However, this wild interest must be kept, otherwise, wouldn’t it be missing Such a comfortable barbecue?"

Everyone laughed.

Yuan Cheng agreed, and looked extremely happy, "Thank you for your kindness, and Yuan will never forget it. It's just that the ground breaking of this official residence still needs to be greeted by the Ministry of Industry. Yuan has a small official position, I am afraid--"

"Your Majesty Yuan, don't worry. Mr. Jiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, has a deep friendship with me, and it's easy to please him. He likes to collect wood carvings the most. If you have a wood lump that is exquisitely crafted, give him one, and let me say it. Guaranteed." Let's start work immediately." Mr. Zheng was very happy today.

Yuan Cheng's true identity is a secret.He didn't meet many officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Nande, the emperor's close ministers like the Xiao family have been ordered to silence, and Yuan Cheng's name is rarely called in Nande, only Yuan Zaifu, Yuan Xiang, Yuan Shi , Yuan corrupt officials.Therefore, many people thought he was a well-educated and gentle official who used his real name to mix among the officials of Da Zhou.With the emperor covering the sky behind him, and he has been working hard, these are high-ranking officials, but it is difficult to connect Yuan Cheng with Nan Deyuan.

Yuan Cheng smiled slightly, stood up and thanked all the officials.

In the eyes of the officials, he is really a gentleman and elegant, but they don't know that this gentleman is purely fake with them, and the cup of beauty has already achieved his goal.

Yuan Cheng sat down, with the beauty beside him, offering him fine wine in a seductive posture.He stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the beauty took advantage of the situation to lean forward, and the thin and transparent gauze couldn't hide Yufeng's waist.He just glanced at it lightly, and the beauty backed away in fright, but she didn't dare to stay too far away, and sat beside him with a forced smile.

Playing with the luminous cup with his fingers, the only thing that haunts him is a scent of flowers, which lingers for a long time.

First update today.
