The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 688
[Chapter 688: Respect]
Bai Xiaochun heard this, he frowned, glanced at the man, and said calmly: “Be quiet!”
Suddenly, the man did not dare to speak and stood in line obediently.
Although many people came with treasures, many people still did not leave. Instead, they lined up and secretly ordered their servants to go back and get the silver.
Queuing up to give gifts, this kind of thing can only be seen in front of the Fang Mansion in the entire capital, and even in the entire Chu State.
It can be considered a strange sight.
But no one said anything, because it was normal to beat someone at home.
In other words, they knew what kind of person Xin’anhou was.
They would think it was strange if Marquis Xin’an didn’t accept the gift!
The queue is still forming and the number of people is getting bigger and bigger.
Even if the capital lacks everything, there is one thing it does not lack, and that is honor.
There are nobles everywhere in this capital, there is almost no doubt about this.
And if one noble person comes to give a gift, the remaining noble people will definitely come back.
If he didn’t come, I would be murmuring in my heart.
If others give gifts but I don’t, will the Marquis of Xin’an treat me specially?
This is no small problem!
In the past, to be honest, it wasn’t a big problem.
Because they know that as long as you don’t provoke Xin’an Hou, Xin’an Hou will not take the initiative to provoke you anyway.
This is the experience of countless people.
But not anymore.
Because the Marquis of Xin’an is no longer the Marquis of Xin’an, he is the minister of the auxiliary country!
What does it mean to be a minister of state?
There are a total of four auxiliary ministers, and their power has exceeded that of King Kang, who is in charge of the court!
what is that?
That’s one quarter of the emperor!
They all know who the other three elders are.
I don’t say it’s selfless, but I certainly won’t hinder you behind your back.
And even if they want to give gifts.
The three pavilion elders will definitely not accept it.
Everyone knows
Xin’anhou , so there is no need to say more.
Bai Xiaochun waved his hand and said, “Next one.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a steward in rich clothes walked up to him, looked at him, and said with a smile, “But Manager Bai?”
Bai Xiaochun looked him up and down. He glanced at it and asked, “Who are you?”
“We have met before, have you forgotten?”
The manager smiled and looked at Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun shook his head and said calmly: “I don’t remember.” When the manager heard this, he smiled a little awkwardly, but he still
said
: “I am the manager of Prince Kang’s Mansion. His Highness Prince Kang will be here later. Take a look.”
When he got here, he paused, looked around, and said, “There seems to be something wrong with so many people, right?”
Bai Xiaochun was startled when he heard this.
Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and said expressionlessly: “There’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t worry, there aren’t many people. We’ll be here after a while.”
“”
The person in charge was slightly startled, as if he didn’t understand what Bai Xiaochun meant. Asked: “Mr. Bai, what do you mean by this?”
Bai Xiaochun glanced at him and didn’t ridicule, just explained: “When queuing up to give gifts, you have to be on a first-come, first-served basis. Even if it’s Prince Kang’s Mansion, I can’t make the decision, so I’d better line up. “
?”
The person in charge was completely confused when he heard this.
What does Bai Xiaochun mean?
Queuing up to give gifts?
Isn’t it an honor for the Marquis of Xin’an that His Highness Prince Kang came to Fang Mansion to visit him?
How could this bitch think that His Highness Prince Kang was here to give a gift!
And he even asked His Highness Prince Kang to line up?
When the steward heard this, his face showed anger.
But thinking of Mr. Gong’s instructions before coming, he still suppressed his anger, tried his best to smile, and said: “Guanshi Bai may have misunderstood.
What I mean is that with so many people here, His Highness Prince Kang has arrived. , I’m afraid it’s not safe.” It
was a normal sentence, but after hearing this, Bai Xiaochun’s expression changed instantly.
He glared at the person in charge and cursed angrily: “What do you mean by that? Could it be that I will assassinate His Highness Prince Kang?
Or that my young master will send someone to assassinate His Highness Prince Kang?
Who do you think my young master is?
You How dare you say such a thing?”
“”
When the person in charge heard this, he was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
He was startled and panicked.
He waved his hands hurriedly and defended himself: “Boss Bai, you misunderstood, that’s not what I meant.”
“That’s not what I meant, or what did you mean? Get out of here! If you stay here any longer, don’t blame me for turning your back on me!” Bai
Xiaochun said coldly with a cold face.
When the person in charge heard this, he no longer knew what to say.
As a steward of Prince Kang’s Mansion, no matter where I go, others are respectful and respectful. I have never been so humble as to discuss with others.
But people definitely don’t appreciate it.
He was completely speechless and didn’t know what to say.
He had never encountered anything like it.
Although Gong Lao’s repeated warnings were still echoing in his ears, he couldn’t help but want to leave and tell His Highness Prince Kang the truth about the situation here.
But after
hesitating for a long time, he still stopped, forced out a smile, and said, “Manager Bai, do you really want to make things so tense?”
Bai Xiaochun smiled when he heard this, and just said, “If His Highness Prince Kang comes to visit, My young master will certainly welcome you as a guest.
But have you ever seen someone come to our house and send someone to notify them in advance and want to clear the place?”
When the manager heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he understood!
So that’s what happened.
As the steward of Prince Kang’s Mansion, I was accustomed to putting Prince Kang first before doing anything.
But he never considered the owner’s feelings.
At this moment, after hearing Bai Xiaochun’s words, he understood why Bai Xiaochun had such an attitude.
Because, even if he puts his attitude very low, the things he does still put himself in a very high position.
Indeed, if someone arrives at Prince Kang’s Mansion, inform him to drive away other guests first.
He will also be angry.
Except, of course, His Majesty.
But what kind of person is Xin’an Hou?
That was a person that no one else looked down upon except His Majesty.
Therefore, even His Royal Highness King Kang should be no different from other people here in Xin’anhou.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face and he said: “Thank you, Mr. Bai, for reminding me. I understand.
His Highness Prince Kang will be here in a moment. I will report to His Highness Prince Kang first.
“
After saying this, he looked at those who were still queuing up to give gifts .
The honorable noble said, “Just let them continue to be here.”
After a pause, he added, “I was the one who offended just now, I’m sorry.”
After saying that, he bowed, turned around and left Fang Mansion.
Bai Xiaochun stood there, watching his back gradually move away, and sighed leisurely.
He really didn’t understand
why the young master had to treat King Kang like this
