No matter how arrogant and arrogant Dongming Ziyu is, if he is in the officialdom, he will inevitably have social interactions with his colleagues, especially colleagues in the same department, who must have normal social interactions.

Men give concubines, maids, and singers to each other. This is a normal social interaction. Women can also be regarded as gifts in high-level relationships.

Today is the birthday of the bachelor in charge of the college, and his direct boss, Dongming Ziyu, must go to celebrate his birthday.

At the banquet, they talked about Lin He's plot against Dong's family at the city gate, and naturally they brought up the matter of Mrs. Qian being sealed as a sixth-grade Anren.

Xunyang Hou smiled and said: "I heard that Mrs. Qian doesn't have many decent maids and women to serve her. How can this be done? Why don't I give you some maids?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "Thank you Xunyang Hou for your concern. My mother is surrounded by people who are used to serving her. Besides, my salary is limited and I cannot afford to support so many servants."

Xunyang Hou sighed and said: "You bought those servants in the countryside. How do you know the rules of the capital? Your mother has received the royal decree and will often interact with the officials and wives in the capital. She can't be like farming in the countryside.

I don’t care about anything anymore.”

Dongming Ziyu's face darkened, and he said calmly: "Mrs. Nan'an Hou Shizi and Shangguan's wife both have capable nannies. I don't have to worry about Xunyang Hou's worries about the affairs of Shangguan's back house."

When a foreigner interferes in other people's backyard affairs, it is for others to talk about it. When he talked about it, his face tightened and his face became angry.

However, he did not give up. He looked at Prime Minister Zhou and said, "Master Prime Minister, don't you have a singer in your family who can sing? Give me two grandsons and sons-in-law, and let them entertain the old lady.

.”

Dongming Ziyu sneered and said: "My mother has always been broad-minded, generous to others, and always smiles every day. I think I might as well give Mrs. Xunyang Hou two singers to relieve her boredom. I heard that she is seriously depressed.

It's time for someone to tease Mengzi and make her think more openly."

After Mrs. Xunyang Hou was abducted by bandits and taken to the mountains, she has been complaining of illness and has no shame to go out.

Mr. Xunyang Hou's face was red, and he would look at Dongming Ziyu anxiously as soon as he slapped the table.

When the Grand Master in charge saw that something was wrong here, he quickly came over and held down Marquis Xunyang, smoothing things over and said: "Okay, Marquis Xunyang, give me some face, and talk about it later if you have anything to do."

That means don't make trouble here with me. If something happens, go out and make trouble.

Marquis Xunyang, a Marquis with no real power, did not dare to argue with the great scholar in charge of the academy, so he snorted coldly and ignored Marquis Xunyang.

Prime Minister Zhou's eyes turned slightly, he drank with a slight smile, and never said a word from the beginning to the end. However, Dongming Ziyu knew that today's matter must be related to him, otherwise, Xunyanghou would not have said that he had a singer at home to send him

people.

After what happened today, everyone knows that Dongming Ziyu has a bad relationship with Guan Ruoli's grandfather's family.

When Dongming Ziyu came back, Shangguan Ruoli was still drawing patterns for knitting wool.

He hugged her shoulders from behind and asked, "Are the children asleep?"

Shangguan Ruoli put down his pen, held his hand, and said, "I fell asleep. I came back very early. Did the banquet go well?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "It went well, except that Xunyang Hou was looking for trouble at the banquet. At first he wanted to give me two maids to serve my mother. After I refused, he tried to persuade Prime Minister Zhou to give two singers, but I also

Rejected. Well, the attitude is not very good."

After all, Xunyang Houfu is Shangguan Ruoli's tenant. If something like this happens, it is necessary to let her know.

Shangguan Ruoli sneered and said: "You are doing the right thing, that's what you should do. This is because our family is very strict and we are worried if we can't get anyone involved."

Their courtyard is staffed by people who know their roots well. There are children given as dowries by the Shangguan family, people brought from Fengcheng, and villagers from the Dongzhou family. They have not added anyone, and there is no chance to put in spies.

Dongming Ziyu said: "Tell them tomorrow and tell them to be careful not to be fooled and not to bring people home."

If you can't start with him, you may have to find a solution from other people. He has to go to the office before dawn, and he doesn't have time to tell them. He is afraid that he will forget it by the evening.

When Shangguan Ruoli was having breakfast, he mentioned this matter while everyone was around.

It was calm for several days in a row, and I was still nervous at first, but gradually I forgot about this matter.

That evening, Dong Shi and Zhou Xian came back from the farm, pulling the first crops of vegetables in the greenhouse on a mule cart. They were both very happy. The vegetables in the greenhouse were successfully grown and they could make money in the winter.
