The prince-in-law Gong Yonggu still pretended not to know Chen Shizai. When he heard the Western bell ringing, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to several noble people with big belly and round waists: "I'm sorry, everyone, the good time has come, I have to preside over the wedding of the Pavilion Master."

Gong Yonggu said that, then walked towards Chen Laitou, glanced at him and hurriedly entered the front hall.

At this time, the dignitaries also came over and said, "We should take out the gifts prepared for the cabinet master."

As he said that, these people ordered their servants to carry the gifts up, and Chen Shizai followed with some small officials.

At this time, the person responsible for recording the gift list was Ju Bangliang, the disciple of Wei Guangwei, who is now the head of Taichang Temple.

When Ju Bangliang saw that the Minister of the Shangshu came, he bowed and greeted him with a smile. Of course, the same was true for the wealthy businessmen who gave very generous gifts;

However, when I saw some officials of the sixth and seventh ranks and were very shabby, I didn’t have such a good attitude.

When Chen Lai Tou walked over, Ju Bangliang turned cold: "Who is the official position, who is his surname and who is his name, how much gift is he given?"

"Academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Hanlin Academy's rank of review, and also the title of "Wailang for the Ministry of Revenue", Chen Shizai said, after Chen Laitou said, an official wearing fifth-rank regular uniform behind him couldn't help but sneer:

"As soon as you play with strange skills to please Your Majesty, the stinky craftsman who was able to be a Hanlin official, would be very embarrassed to come here and put the gifts here, so leave quickly. Just the gift of your few taels of wages is worth, not enough to buy a bowl of bird's nest porridge."

"It's not a few taels of wages." Chen Lai-headed man is as famous as his name. Although he is utilitarian and likes to compare wealth, his personality is really good. After a quick argument, he placed the brocade box in front of Ju Bangliang: "This is the original work of Fan Kuan's "Traveling in the Streams" by Song Dynasty Fan Kuan. It contains the seal of Li Wenzhenggong, the chief assistant of the Zhengde Dynasty cabinet, and the inscription of Xu Huating, the chief assistant of the Jiajing Dynasty cabinet. It is absolutely a genuine product. Can such a gift be worthy of the identity of the cabinet?"

Ju Bangliang opened the "Traveling in the Mountains" and looked at what Chen Laitou said, and admitted that it was the original work. At the same time, he showed a look of surprise on his face and quickly smiled and said, "Of course, I deserve it, and this master deserves it!"

Ju Bangliang bowed to Chen Shizhi and personally took Chen Shizhi into the private room.

On this side, the fifth-rank official retreated embarrassedly, threw the fake Song version of the ancient book he found from the street stall into the pond, and then left in disappointment on the grounds of being unwell.

On this side, Chen Laitou was the only fifth-rank official who sat in this private room full of guests. No one talked to him. He was also happy. When he saw that Mr. Wei, who was older than him, was even more contemptuous when he saw that Mr. Wei, who was only older than him, was even more accused of having a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

At that moment, after the wedding, Master Wei came to the inner room to congratulate him. When he congratulated, countless officials gave gifts, saying that it was to give gifts to Mrs. Ru, who had just entered the Wei Mansion, but in fact it was to curry favor with Wei Guangwei.

Although Wei Guangwei knew that His Majesty was watching from the top, he was not willing to accept it. While saying thank you, he had to comment on these gifts in a pleasant way.

Because it was given to Mrs. Ru in name, most of the gifts were gold and silver jewelry. However, since they were inside, they were either noble or rich, and the actions they took were naturally not cheap.

If it is difficult to get into Wei Guangwei's eyes, it is also difficult to say that the word "newness" is the word "newness".

Moreover, Gong Yonggu, the son-in-law of the prince, took the initiative to comment on Wei Guangwei. When a giant Huizhou merchant stranded in the capital took out a box of jade hairpins of four delicately carved like plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, he heard Gong Yonggu say:

"Tsk tsk, you Boss Long is so embarrassed to take out this kind of thing. Not to mention that this jade is not a good jade, the color is obviously dim, and even this exquisite thing is not enough. I was lucky to have a dinner party in the palace the day before yesterday. I saw that the hairpin worn by the Empress on her head was a jasmine flower. Its color is so bright and the texture is so good that it is still shining."

Zhu Youxiao, who was listening to the prince-in-law Gong Yonggu's nonsense in the attic, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, because what Gong Yonggu said was just a handful of plastic jewelry he gave Zhang Yan with phosphor. In modern times, it could be sold in the Yi0Wu market for more than ten yuan. But now it has been whispered into a treasure of the world by Gong Yonggu, so Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel funny.

This is a big Hui merchant named Boss Long and has a scholarly reputation and was embarrassed to smile and said, "The prince-in-law is a royal relative, and he has seen more treasures than us, so there is no need for students to be proud of you. Since this is a blessing, even your eyes can't be passed by, then the student will give Mrs. Ru 10,000 taels of rouge money."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned. He didn't expect that this big Hui merchant would be able to give 10,000 taels at one time. This also shows that the four gentlemen's jade hairpins were not cheap at the beginning, otherwise they would not have taken them out. He couldn't help but think inwardly: "The court is so poor, why are there so many wealthy people who spend money like land among the people?"

"Boss Long is generous", Gong Yonggu praised him, and then several famous tycoons took out gifts, most of them were extraordinary, but they were basically worthless by Gong Yonggu, which forced these people to directly use the money to hit Gong Yonggu in the face.

But Gong Yonggu didn't care at all, and he still had an attitude of being a royal relative and having read countless treasures. No one of you would want to fool me.

It was not until everyone gave the gift that Chen Laitou walked over with a diamond-shaped silver mirror: "Secretary Chen Shizai made a gift to Mrs. Ru, who was the master of the Pavilion, and asked Mrs. Ru to accept it with a smile."

"How did you, a little fifth-rank official, get in? You won't sell your ancestral property to curry favor with the old master, right? I want to see what kind of gifts you can bring out."

Gong Yonggu is now simply a poisonous incarnation, so he pretends not to know Chen Lai Tou. As soon as he comes up, he looks as if he looks down on others and mocks Chen Lai Tou.

When the others saw Gong Yonggu like this, they all chuckled. From Chen Laitou's sloppy appearance, they felt that this person should be ridiculed by Gong's princess.

Chen Laitou now put the cold wind and ghost fire on the fan, Gong Madam, who had been pretending to be here, and had no good looks at him. He just put the silver mirror wrapped in red silk cloth on the desk: "I didn't give anything, it's just a mirror."

"Oh!"

Before Gong Yonggu could start brushing, the rich boss Long just shouted and laughed: "This master, please ask me. Is this mirror a peach leaf mirror used by Zhao Feiyan in the previous dynasty or a plum blossom mirror used by Princess Wencheng before she married Tubo?"
