Chapter 278 Even if you are a dragon, you have to coil
Cui Yushan was stunned, and seeing that his wife had already walked ahead, he quickly lifted his clothes and chased after her.
Although he was born into the Qinghe Cui family, it was only a side branch after all. He did not live in the Cui family's mansion on weekdays, and his family environment was not very good. He just lived on a few acres of thin land.
If his mother had not accidentally saved the eldest daughter of the master's house, who is now the empress dowager, he would not be as successful as he is today.
And Zheng Wenxiu is the legitimate daughter of the Bo family. Now their Bo family is at its peak and is ranked among the six ministries.
So when he was about to leave Dongdu, even his mother told him that if he didn't understand something in the officialdom in the future, he might as well ask his wife.
Now that Zheng Wenxiu said this, Cui Yushan also felt that his opinion made a lot of sense.
"Madam is right!" Cui Yushan went over to support his wife and said with a smile, "It is I who am shallow."
Seeing that Cui Yushan listened to her advice, Zheng Wenxiu was happy and smiled. "These people will flatter the powerful and bully the weak. Now that we are here, as long as the imperial edict is not read out, you will still be the imperial envoy. Let's wait and see. You will stay in Mangcheng as an official in the future. If you don't take this opportunity to kill their prestige, I'm afraid they will not take you seriously in the future. After all, we are new here, and they have been operating in Mangcheng for many years. Only by taking advantage of this opportunity to let them know how powerful you are, will our lives be better in the future."
"Madam, your opinion is great!" Cui Yushan suddenly understood something and said with a smile, "Madam, you are really knowledgeable. I will need your advice in the future."
"It's not that I'm bragging." Zheng Wenxiu was even more proud. She said, "After all, I grew up in the Bo's Mansion since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of things. We will be staying here for who knows how many years, so we have to have a good start. We can't let people look down on us as soon as we get here."
The couple walked into Lee Garden and looked it over inside and out. Zheng Wenxiu immediately found many problems.
She asked someone to write it down, and then threw it to Cui Yushan, "You can ask them to make changes according to the contents of this booklet and add what is needed. Don't be polite. We will all live here in the future, and comfort is more important than anything else."
"Okay. Got it." Cui Yushan took it and asked someone to give it to Xie Yingfeng.
After Xie Yingfeng came out from Cui Yushan's place, he went straight to the general's mansion.
Wei Ling had also returned home by this time.
Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning were both in the general's mansion. Originally, they were going to host a banquet for the imperial envoy Cui Yushan and his wife today, so Qu Wanning came early.
Su Jixiang is good at cooking, the food is delicious and tasty, but he is not as good as Qu Wanning in terms of etiquette when it comes to entertaining people.
After all, she was reborn as a maid in the cold palace, and she only knew some superficial palace rules. She usually hid in the cold palace and didn't see anyone. Facing a yard of crazy and insane concubines in the cold palace, she didn't know the rules.
As for the ins and outs of entertaining guests, she was completely confused.
But Qu Wanning is different. She was born into a noble family in Dongdu and she did not suffer any hardship in the palace. Although the process of becoming a concubine was confusing, after all, her status was there and the rules were very strict.
From the seating arrangements to the presentation of the dishes, as well as what dishes to pair with what wine, Qu Wanning had considered everything carefully. Even if the dishes were left to others to prepare, the two of them still worked all day for this evening's meal.
When Xie Yingfeng brought the news that Cui Yushan and his wife had declined the invitation to the banquet at the Wei Mansion, Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning looked at each other.
"Why aren't you coming?" Qu Wanning said unhappily, "I've been busy for quite a while."
"Forget it, if you don't want to come, then don't come." Su Jixiang knew that Qu Wanning was unhappy, so he comforted her softly, "It's not that we have to force them to come. We are just inviting them. They have the right to refuse."
"But you know this is just a show of power for you, the general's wife?" Qu Wanning still looked a little angry. "The store was so busy today that we both took leave and didn't go. We were so focused on receiving the imperial envoy and his wife, but it turned out to be a waste of time!"
"She was just trying to intimidate me. Don't be so angry. Look, I'm not angry at all!" Su Jixiang said with a smile, pulling Qu Wanning's sleeve. "If they don't eat it, then we should eat it! Just treat it as a snack!"
"You are so generous. Are they not coming to dinner? They are telling us in Mangcheng that he is a very important person!" Qu Wanning saw what the couple meant at a glance. "Just wait and see. You should invite them at least five or six times before they agree to come."
"Don't spoil them." Wei Ling sat aside and suddenly said, "If they don't give face to my wife, then they don't give face to me. I don't care if they are imperial envoys or not. When they come to Mangcheng, they will coil around me even if they are a dragon! Since they think it's unnecessary, then we don't have to invite them in the future! That's it!"
"He is an imperial envoy after all." Xie Yingfeng knew that Wei Ling's temper had come up again, and he had to comfort him, "After all, we still have to give some face to the man from Dongdu."
"Don't you think I don't recognize this imperial envoy?" Wei Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Since I recognize this imperial envoy, I have already given face to Dongdu. But this imperial envoy doesn't know what's good for him! Who does he think I am, Wei Ling, and who is my wife? I can get my wife to sincerely invite him once, but he doesn't even consider whether he has the strength to do this to my wife!"
When Qu Wanning heard this, he immediately became excited, "Right, right, right! That's what the general said. If they don't want to come, we won't invite them, just let them go!"
Xie Yingfeng touched his forehead and said with a headache, "After all, he will have to stay here to reopen the foundry and work as a clerk in the future. Moreover, he is the distant cousin of the current emperor, and is considered a royal relative. It's not that we have to let him do this, but we can't make the relationship awkward. You can't judge a person by his appearance, so who knows what he will say about us behind his back with that guy in Dongdu in the future."
"Can't you learn to be tough like the general?" Qu Wanning snorted.
"Don't be angry." Su Jixiang walked to the side of Wei Ling and gently touched his sleeve. "Maybe he is not feeling well. There is no need to jump to conclusions so quickly. Find out what happened to them first. Then consider what to do next. After all, as Military Advisor Xie said, this guy is an imperial envoy and a royal relative. He will stay and serve with you in the future."
