Chapter 198 Giving Gifts
Prime Minister's House.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, Li An invited him into the lobby, saying that someone from the Shi family had come.
I also brought a lot of gifts, one for each person. Now we just have to wait for the flowers to leave.
Oh?
Hua Jianli guessed that the person coming from the Shi family must have come with the huge amount of gold. Since Hua Jin had offended Princess Ziyang, he could agree to give it to him.
But I didn't expect that the historian acted so quickly and sent ten thousand taels of gold. What does ten thousand taels of gold mean?
She couldn't imagine it.
Following Li An to the lobby, speaking of Prime Minister Hua Tang, he first benefited from Rong Lan's marriage, which allowed him to rise rapidly. Later, Rong Lan died, and Shi took the throne again.
From then on, she bullied Hua Jianli for more than ten years.
Before entering the door, Hua Jianli heard the joyful sounds inside.
Most of them are compliments to Mr. Shi.
There should be quite a few people inside.
This is Shi Chunhua's usual style. All visitors from her family must show up. That is the respect they should have for her.
"Mr. Shi, please have some tea..."
The maid served the best tea in the Prime Minister's Mansion, respectfully as if she was serving a king or a general.
Mr. Shi nodded with a smile, "The rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion have not changed at all, hehe..."
false!
The Shi family is a royal family, so naturally each one of them is smarter than the other. In the first half of his life, Mr. Shi had one wife and one concubine, and had two children. The eldest daughter, Shi Chunhua, is the wife of the current prime minister; the illegitimate son, Shi Ce, is currently the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
Later, his wives and concubines died one after another, and he married a beautiful second wife who was also very capable and gave birth to two sons for him. The second son, Shi Chong, currently took over his business empire, and the youngest son, Shi Zhengxiang, was his late-born son and his darling.
Although Shi Ce was only a bastard's son and had not won his favor in the past, Shi Ce relied on his intelligence and talent to become a fourth-rank official today, which also brought honor to the Shi family.
Shi Chunhua was naturally very capable. She had completely grasped Hua Tang's weaknesses and made Hua Tang submit to their wealth.
The only thing that made Old Master Shi unhappy was that he had originally wanted Hua Tang to find an official position for Shi Zhengxiang in the court, but after spending a large amount of money, Hua Tang did not say a word.
Last time, Shi Chunhua sent someone to inform that something happened to Jin'er and he needed one million taels of gold to settle the relationship. His son discussed with him that the amount of money was too large and needed to be carefully considered.
Moreover, Shi Chunhua did get a lot of benefits from the Shi family over the years, but the Shi family did not get any dividends at all, let alone Hua Jin.
Not to mention that Hua Jin is not the prince's consort yet. Even if she is, what can she bring to the Shi family? Their family's money doesn't fall from the sky. They can't just give her as much as she wants...
Even if they threw it to beggars, at least beggars would know how to be grateful and kowtow twice to express their gratitude. However, Shi Chunhua and her daughter took it for granted. Their appetite was simply a bottomless pit...
Mr. Shi had an argument with Shi Chong and his son over this matter. Unexpectedly, Shi Zhengxiang came back at this time and told them about his experience.
They also said that their eldest sister chose to ignore him when he was in danger, but their eldest brother, whom they looked down upon, took good care of him...
This made Shi Chong, who was already dissatisfied with Shi Chunhua, even more angry. Mr. Shi felt sorry for his beloved son suffering, so he decided to go there in person.
Mr. Shi came here this time after careful consideration. He wanted to know whether Shi Chunhua took his words to heart.
"Father, this is what a son-in-law should do!" Hua Tang sat at the bottom of the hall, bowing with both hands, very filial.
"That's right, Dad, you've come all the way here, thank you for your hard work..." Shi Chunhua's face was full of gentleness.
When Hua Jianli stepped in, Hua Jin was also supported by someone and appeared at the door.
Some of the fingers were still wrapped in thick cotton cloth.
"Grandfather...Jin'er misses you so much..." Hua Jin's eyes welled up with tears. She stumbled towards Mr. Shi and knelt down with a thud.
After all, she was his granddaughter. Mr. Shi went forward to help her up and asked her about her health. Perhaps because of her good nutrition, Hua Jin did not look too bad.
"I'm glad you're not seriously injured..." said Mr. Shi.
Hua Jin complained inwardly: I have suffered so much from the boss, and it is not a big deal?
Just as he was about to say something, Mr. Shi smiled at Hua Jianli who was watching the show at the door and said, "Miss Seven is here too. We've been waiting for you."
Hua Jin: What do you mean, wait for Hua Jianli to leave! Then what am I?
Hua Jianli: Wait for me?
She looked up at the old man on the left. He was about sixty years old, with half a centimeter of hair. He looked quite wealthy in his dark blue gold-threaded brocade robe. Because he ate well, his chubby face had wrinkles on it, but he did not look old and instead looked quite kind.
Prime Minister Hua Tang was accompanying him, smiling in a fawning and servile manner.
This time, Master Shi brought some things with him, box after box. He said that there would be one for each daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Xiao Qi, come and meet your grandfather." Hua Tang greeted him as soon as he arrived, fearing that Hua Jianli would offend his God of Wealth, er, God of Wealth father-in-law...
Hua Jianli was too lazy to pay attention to Hua Tang's expression, "Xiao Qi meets the grandfather of the Shi family."
She didn't know how Mr. Shi would deal with her. After all, it was she who made Shi Zhengxiang live a life worse than death.
Shi got angry when he saw Hua Jianli, and his fat face was twisted into wrinkles.
Hua Jin wished she could grind her to dust, and her expression was exactly the same as Shi's.
Hua Jianli, she stole the limelight. She was praised by two officials from the Dali Temple for her first case. Qin Changge even pushed all the credit to her in front of the emperor.
The emperor expressed his satisfaction and said that Huatang was able to teach his daughter, which made Huatang feel ashamed.
For a time, people abandoned their previous prejudices against Hua Jianli and looked at her with admiration.
"Oh, it's Miss Seven, no need to be polite, no need to be polite..."
Mr. Shi was unusually enthusiastic and cheerful, "Miss Seven is a hot topic these days!"
"Please forgive me, Master Shi. It is all because of Master Qin's kindness. I was just helping out and I dare not take credit for it..."
The Third Aunt then added, "Seventh Miss is too modest. If it were anyone else, this matter would have been known to everyone long ago. Only Seventh Miss is so indifferent to fame and gain. What do you think, Madam..."
"Hmph, if you don't bark, others won't treat you as a dog." Shi Chunhua is no pushover.
A concubine dares to be so presumptuous in front of her.
"Madam, the Third Aunt was just saying it casually, don't think too much about it..." Hua Ying wanted to be a peacemaker, but was pinched by the Second Aunt.
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Shi Chunhua's eyes widened in anger, almost scaring Hua Ying to tears, "Who do you think you are?"
Then he turned his attention to the Second Aunt, "If nothing happens, let her learn more about the rules. It's fine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but if she gets into trouble outside, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The second concubine lowered her head and acted like a quail, while the third concubine covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Hua Jianli, thinking that Hua Jianli would say something.
But Hua Jianli didn't even look at them.
She won't take sides.
She just watches the show, and when she's in a bad mood she'll fan herself or light a fire.
Let them go when you feel better.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mr. Shi had no intention of supporting his daughter.
"Haha, everyone is here! Hurry up and bring out the gifts I have for the girls."
Hua Jianli became suspicious. A gift?
Do you really want to give them gifts?
Could it be a fraud...
