Chapter 794 Invitation Letter

While Zhou Kui was still discussing with Tian Hongyu, the eunuch from the palace came to the mansion.

Before Tian Hongyu left the study, he was smiling. He was relieved now that his daughter was in the palace every day, so he might not be able to see her. Now that the eunuch in the palace came, he must have been sent by his daughter. By the way, he told the eunuch Speaking of this matter, I implore the eunuch to tell his daughter that if this is done, at least the waist will be straightened. Zhou Kui also thinks this way. He thinks that such a thing should be known to Concubine Tian Gui. talk about it.

Tian Hongyu came to the lobby with a smile on his face.

The eunuch was waiting in the lobby. When he came to the Tian Mansion, the eunuch dared not be arrogant. Who didn't know that Concubine Tian Gui was the emperor's most beloved concubine, second only to the Empress Empress. If she was offended, would she still want to do things in the palace?

Tian Hongyu, who has always been stingy, was very generous this time. He took out ten taels of gold and rewarded it to the eunuch. He said that his father-in-law worked hard. , Said that it was brought out from the palace, it was written by the imperial concubine herself, the imperial concubine ordered it, and after delivering the letter, she will return to the palace immediately.

Tian Hongyu was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the eunuch would leave immediately after he arrived. He didn't have time to say anything, but the eunuch's last sentence reassured him. The eunuch said that he would come again in three days, that is, The one who came here to get the reply letter, Tian Hongyu felt that this is also good, and he specifically explained the matter in the letter, which is more secure.

After the eunuch left, Tian Hongyu couldn't wait to open the letter.

A few minutes later, Tian Hongyu's face turned pale, his body trembled, and he came to the study in a daze.

Zhou Kui was still waiting in the study and saw Tian Hongyu's appearance.Zhou Kui was very strange. When he was about to ask, Tian Hongyu handed the letter to Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and his face changed a little.

soon.Zhou Kui spoke.

"Old Tian, ​​I didn't expect the emperor to know about this matter. It seems that you really caused trouble this time, and you should quickly find a way to calm it down. In fact, the imperial concubine has already made it very clear in the letter."

"My lord, I know, but I don't know what to do. Who knows if Mr. Su will pay attention to me? If I go to the door to apologize like this, but they ignore me, what should I do?"

Zhou Kui thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Old Tian, ​​I think you are thinking too much. You held a banquet at home and specially invited Mr. Su to the banquet. There must be no problem, I guess. Mr. Su will definitely attend."

Tian Hongyu looked at Zhou Kui, not understanding what Zhou Kui meant.

"Old Tian, ​​Mr. Su is young and promising, what a smart lord he is, don't you know what's wrong here? Besides, why the emperor found out so quickly must be related to Mr. Su. This shows, Mr. Su I also don't want to have an enmity with you. The letter from the imperial concubine made it very clear, asking you to find a way, which means that the imperial concubine will also match it up. Under such circumstances, you specially arrange a banquet to apologize to Lord Su. Things are gone."

"Then what should Master Liu and Master Huang do?"

An inscrutable smile appeared on Zhou Kui's face.

"Old Tian, ​​just follow the imperial concubine's request, and don't think too much about the rest."

Tian Hongyu nodded, his face turned ugly again.

"Just like this, to invite Mr. Su to a banquet, don't you prepare something, what can you prepare?"

"Old Tian, ​​I thought of this just now. Mr. Su won't be interested in things like gold, silver and treasures. These things are too vulgar. Isn't there a saying that a hero is saddened by a beauty?"

Tian Hongyu stomped his feet and clasped his fists at Zhou Kui.

"Thank you for your reminder, I just don't understand, I understand, I understand."

Su Tiancheng read Concubine Tian's letter with a smile on his face.

It's not that he thinks that he has won this contest, but he looks complacent. There is nothing to be happy about, and it is something that cannot be brought to the table. Indulging subordinates to behave indiscriminately will have a very bad influence. After knowing these things, the emperor made a wise choice. This shows that the emperor still thinks about the Ming Dynasty, and he still wants to do things well. This is the most gratifying thing matter.

Su Tiancheng was not very familiar with Concubine Tian Gui, but he knew that Concubine Tian Gui was the emperor's favorite concubine, and she had some conflicts with the Empress Empress, because of her poor health and the premature death of several sons, she passed away very early, so she was considered a confidante.

Since Concubine Tian Gui specially invited the eunuch in the palace to send a letter, she also showed her attitude, and she also needs to know, can she not turn her head and think that she has won, and then she will be complacent. In fact, what kind of victory is this.

When Zhu Shenxin entered the study, Su Tiancheng was still thinking, with a smile on his face.

"What is the husband so happy about? Can I share it with myself?"

Seeing Zhu Shenxin enter the study, Su Tiancheng smiled and spoke.

"It's not a big deal. Here is a letter from the imperial concubine. It was sent by the father-in-law in the palace earlier. Take a look."

Hearing that it was a letter from Concubine Tian Gui, Zhu Shenxin became a little curious, picked up the letter, and opened it carefully.

After reading it, Zhu Shenxin spoke quietly.

"Husband, this concubine is really scared to death. Unexpectedly, my husband has conflicts with that Tian Hongyu. Who in the capital doesn't know that this Tian Hongyu is not strict with his servants and often causes trouble."

"It can't be said that I was against Tian Hongyu specifically, but the people in Tian Hongyu's mansion are too arrogant and provoked me, so I won't be polite. Facing such people, The weaker you are, the more arrogant he is."

"Husband, this is because the imperial concubine and empress are not angry. They really made a fuss, and they are not good-looking."

Zhu Shenxin also knew that such a small matter would not affect her husband.

"Ma'am, do you think this is really the opinion of the imperial concubine? No, this is the emperor's attitude. If the emperor hadn't expressed his opinion, how could the imperial concubine put down her face and write such a letter?"

"The concubine knows, the concubine is just worried about her husband."

While the two were talking, the butler knocked on the door.

After the housekeeper came in, he reported to Zhu Shenxin.

"Mrs., someone outside asked to see the master, claiming to be the housekeeper of the Tian Mansion."

"Which Tianfu?"

Zhu Shenxin didn't understand for a while, but Su Tiancheng already understood.

"It says it's Master Tian Hongyu's housekeeper. This is a famous post."

Zhu Shenxin nodded, took the name card, looked at Su Tiancheng, saw that Su Tiancheng had no intention of refusing, and then spoke.

"You take the butler to the wing and wait."

After the housekeeper went out, a smile appeared on Zhu Shenxin's face.

"Husband, I didn't expect that Tian Hongyu would send a housekeeper here so soon. I'm afraid he came to apologize."

"Ma'am, since the imperial concubine can write to me, shouldn't she write to Tian Hongyu? This kind of matter can only be completely resolved when the two parties meet. Otherwise, it is always worrying to rely on a letter. "

"I understand now, it seems that everything was arranged by the imperial concubine."

"Madam, according to your opinion, should I agree or refuse."

Zhu Shenxin gave Su Tiancheng a blank look.

"My husband has already figured it out in his heart. If he wants to ask about his concubine's identity, he must go. Otherwise, the imperial concubine and empress will not think well, and maybe there will be really angry opinions."

"Hehe, of course I have to ask Madam. This is a matter for your royal family. I am relieved that Madam said so."

When Su Tiancheng came to the wing room, he saw the housekeeper again.

After seeing Su Tiancheng coming in, the butler quickly stood up, walked in front of Su Tiancheng, and bowed respectfully to Jishou.

"My lord, what happened last time was because the servants in the mansion didn't understand the rules. After my master found out, he taught the servants severely, and the younger one was also punished to face the wall. Today, my master sent the younger one here to give the adult a special lesson. Those who send invitations, please invite adults to the mansion to have a banquet, and the master will specially apologize to adults."

As the housekeeper spoke, he took out the invitation letter from his pocket, the time and place, etc., which must have been clearly written on the invitation letter.

"Your master is too polite, the matter is over."

"My lord, my lord sincerely invited you. The lord said that he was not strict with his servants and caused such a big incident. If it wasn't for your lord's education, I don't know what troubles would have happened. Please invite your lord to the banquet. One is to apologize to the adults, and the other is to thank the adults for taking action to teach those servants who don't know what to do."

"Since that's the case, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful. I will definitely go to the banquet on time."

Tian Hongyu's butler was very sincere, and it was not easy. Thinking of the arrogance of the butler that day, comparing the two, the difference was too great.Su Tiancheng ordered the housekeeper, took out ten taels of silver, and gave it to Tian Hongyu's housekeeper. The housekeeper kept saying that he didn't dare to ask Mr. Su to spend money, but Su Tiancheng smiled and said that it was just a trivial matter, and it should be done.

After returning to the study, Zhu Shenxin carefully looked at the invitation letter.

The production of the invitation letter is very delicate. This kind of invitation letter will only be used by the rich and powerful, and it will not be used under normal circumstances. This beautifully made invitation letter reflects Tian Hongyu's attitude.

The time to invite Su Tiancheng to the banquet is Shenshi the next day, and the place is in Tian Hongyu's mansion.

"Husband, time is so tight, Tian Hongyu is really in a hurry."

"Hehe, can he not be in a hurry, the imperial concubine and empress have written letters, he must know that this is the emperor's intention."

"Husband, you'd better pay attention. This concubine, Tian Hongyu, doesn't have a good impression. All I hear are some bad comments."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll take care of myself." (To be continued...)
