Chapter 162 Gift giving

  After listening to Fang Jifan\'s words, Liu Tianzheng snorted coldly.

  Being disrespectful in front of the imperial court is a serious crime, but Liu Tianzheng is a person who has attained the Tao. At this age, he is fearless, but what he hates the most are those who bluff and deceive, destroying the reputation of Taoism!

  He looked cold and authentic: "Dare to ask the layman\'s name."

  Fang Jifan sighed, he just wanted to take part in this birthday banquet, but someone really came to \'ask for advice\'.

  Master Ben is just a half-hearted Taoist priest, although he belongs to the certified one.

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to say: "Fang Jifan."

  Fang...following...Fan...

   As soon as the three words came out, I thought that Liu Tianzheng would sneer and sneer a few words next.

  But Liu Tianzheng\'s body shook, as if he was stunned all of a sudden, and he no longer had the demeanor of a cultivator.

  He looked at Fang Jifan in disbelief, and his body trembled.

   The Mu family on the side saw it strangely, and murmured in his heart, what happened to this real Liu, could it be that Fang Jifan is notorious, even he has heard of it?

  Everyone stared fixedly at Liu Tianzheng, and some people occasionally rolled their eyes to look at Fang Jifan.

  The two looked at each other, and Fang Jifan looked at each other in a daze. The atmosphere was a bit strange.

  Only Liu Tianzheng suddenly got wet at the corners of his eyes.

  He took a deep breath, and then, with a plop…

   "..."

  Fang Jifan was even more confused, at a loss.

  Liu Tianzheng fell at his feet straight upright.

  In the silent hall of Renshou Palace, a needle could be heard at first, but all of a sudden, there was an uproar.

  The empress dowager was moved.

  While the wives were whispering one by one, they looked at Liu Tianzheng in astonishment.

  Mr. Mu\'s beauty has faded, so... so what?

   After Liu Tianzheng fell to his knees, he saluted in an orderly manner, and then said: "Xiaodao...greetings to Master Uncle..."

  Master...Master Uncle...

   Mrs. Mu almost passed out. Is there any reason for this?

   You, Master Liu, are so old, are you embarrassed?

  If he hadn\'t personally brought this real Liu to the capital, Mu even suspected that this real Liu had been bought by Fang Jifan long ago.

  A person who is over 70 years old is actually called a young man Shishugong? She felt that her heart ached so badly, what kind of evil was this.

  The Empress Dowager was too surprised to speak.

  She doesn\'t understand the internal seniority of Zhengyi, but in this era, no matter whether it is a Taoist school, a Confucian school, or an ordinary clan, no one dares to joke about the seniority.

  It\'s just...Fang Jifan...he...

  Ms. Fang was originally in the corner, secretly anxious. She knew Mu\'s tactics well. If her nephew offended her, he would definitely take revenge. But who would have thought...

  Fang Jifan took a deep breath and looked at Liu Tianzheng who was worshiping him on the ground... At this moment, he understood everything.

  I forcibly got involved with Wei Dayou, how could I know that Wei Dayou\'s seniority was so terrifyingly high.

However, seniority does not depend on ability or level. If you are higher than you, you are higher than you. It’s like Fang Jifan is your father. I don’t care which onion you are. , when you are in front of people, you have to obediently call him daddy.

   Liu Tianzheng looked ashamed, and his old face was flushed.

  Two days ago he went to Longquan Temple, only to learn that Puji Daoist has a younger brother named Fang Jifan, but he never imagined that this person is really so young.

  Although Master Puji said he was young, in the eyes of people over seventy, anyone under fifty would look young.

After reading the "True Collection of Tao Te Ching", Liu Tianzheng was even more astonished. In the past two days, he has read this scripture no less than ten times, and now... the author of this scripture is here in front of you.

   This kneeling is really convincing.

"Xiao Dao is not ashamed to argue with Master Uncle about the merits of Taoism. I am ashamed. Since I read Master Uncle\'s "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi", Xiao Dao has forgotten to eat and sleep. Only then did I know that there are people outside the mountains, and there are people outside people. Master Uncle\'s wisdom is no fool like Xiao Dao. And, I hope my uncle will forgive me."

  Hoo...

  The empress dowager was dumbfounded.

  In fact, everyone was dumbfounded. The previous kneeling could be said to be a matter of seniority, but now, Master Liu himself admits that he is not worthy to lift Fang Jifan\'s shoes, and hates that he can\'t be Fang Jifan\'s lackey in this life! Debating ethics? does not exist.

Just when everyone was shocked, Liu Tianzheng got up with shame on his face, and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Madam, Xiaodao was invited by Wei Guogong this time, and he wanted to give a lecture to Madam, but today I know that my uncle is here, Xiaodao I’m ashamed, I don’t dare to fight with the axe, I implore the empress to let you leave poorly.”

   I won’t talk about it, it’s just so willful.

  The main reason is that Liu Tianzheng feels that he can\'t afford to lose this person. The "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi" can be called the master of Confucian classics since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how excellent a Juren is, would he dare to give lectures in front of the No. 1 scholar?

  People... have to be self-aware.

   "The real man... Are these words serious?" The empress dowager turned pale in shock.

   Liu Tianzheng said solemnly: "The poor will die, and I will leave."

   He didn\'t talk any more. Although this way of doing things was somewhat willful, to him, it was a matter of the bottom line, so he never hesitated. He saluted the Empress Dowager again, turned around and left.

  That\'s it... let\'s go.

  Everyone couldn\'t recover.

  Fang Jifan was also dumbfounded, this Taoist is really sincere! Then again, why did I have another grandson? Ah, no, it\'s my grandson and nephew.

  Seeing countless gazes, all looking at him hotly, Fang Jifan touched his nose, thick-skinned, gradually getting used to being watched by many women.

  The Mu family\'s face was already miserable, and for this sake, her heart trembled. This nephew of the Fang family is really terrifying.

  She raised her eyes quietly, and saw the Empress Dowager looking at Fang Jifan with a smile, her eyes couldn\'t hide her admiration, how could the Mu family think that such a monster would come out of such a small Nanhebo mansion.

  Mr. Mu\'s heart was pounding, and she tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her miserable face. She took a step forward, wanting to touch Fang Jifan\'s face very affectionately.

  Fang Jifan took a step back and avoided it directly.

Mrs. Mu was a little embarrassed: "Nephew of the Fang family, you are really amazing. Please forgive me if I offended you just now. I am an ignorant woman. If my nephew has time to go to Nanjing, he must come to the house... "

  She is not stupid. After fully recognizing Fang Jifan\'s strength, her only thought now is to mend the relationship immediately. She had offended the Fang family too much before, but who knew that the Fang family suddenly smoked from their ancestors.

  The Empress Dowager did not want to talk to Mrs. Mu, she just smiled and said to Jifan: "Jifan, come here."

  Fang Jifan stepped forward: "The minister is here.",

  The Empress Dowager said sweetly: "Nanhebo\'s mansion really gave birth to a promising child."

  But at this moment, an **** came in and said, "My Majesty, the gift lists of each family have been delivered."

  The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and smiled. She was in a good mood. Just now, Daoist Liu did not shock her, but Fang Jifan frightened her.

  But she will not reveal anything easily, after all, she is the empress dowager, and some things are only hidden in her heart.

   When it comes to the list of gifts, the Empress Dowager doesn’t really value it. The royal family doesn’t have any good things.

But the world is so sophisticated, the Empress Dowager can only understand that, in order to celebrate her own birthday, all the governments have spent a lot of thought. If a big gift was sent to the palace after all the efforts, the result would be nothing, and there would be no waves. It would be disheartening. cold.

  Because of this, the Empress Dowager specially explained that this gift list must be sung once to express everyone\'s thoughts.

  The Empress Dowager winked at the **** Wang Yan who was at the side.

  Wang Yan took the gift list and bowed her body.

  The Empress Dowager glanced around, and said casually: "Read."

  The wives came out of the shock, and many of them were overjoyed. They spent a lot of time preparing for the birthday gift. Now that the empress dowager has someone read it out in person, it is considered a gift.

  Wang Yan opened her voice and said: "Duke Dingguo, present four pairs of jade and sixteen pieces of coral..."

Fang Jifan just sat on the sidelines and listened. The birthday presents used by various governments are really jaw-dropping, all of them are rare treasures, and all of them are priceless. He immediately burst into tears. It was even worse by several grades.

  The people whose names were sung all had red faces and looked extraordinarily energetic.

The title of Nanhe Bofu is not high, so he laid the foundation. When he sang to Nanhe Bofu, Wang Yan\'s voice stopped abruptly. He seemed to lower his head to make sure again before he hesitated and said: "Nanhe Bofu, dedicate to you!" A glass mirror."

   And then... And then it\'s gone.

  The gift lists of other prefectures are all Ruyi, coral, agate, and pearls. Ruyi is used in pairs, corals are in pairs, agate can be used in catties, and pearls can be used directly in buckets. But what the **** is this glass mirror?

Zhu Houzhao has been sitting on the sidelines bored, and he doesn’t understand Taoism. He listened to the cloud and fog, and now he heard the glass mirror. Things, old Fang... Fang Qing\'s family used it to make a greenhouse, and it is very useful. Fang Qing\'s family has a glass workshop in Xishan, and they can refine thousands of catties a day."

  It’s okay if you don’t say it, it’s like killing Fang Jifan.

  Seeing that everyone showed weird expressions, Zhu Houzhao murmured in his heart, did I say something wrong?

   It\'s really a chicken thief.

  Not to mention that you, Fang Jifan, gave you a better birthday gift. You can produce a thousand catties of things on this day, but you only gave me a pair of glass mirrors...a pair of...

The empress dowager\'s impression of Fang Jifan has completely changed. She thinks that this child is smart, clever, and honest. Such a person is rare in a noble family. Look at those shameless nephews , there are a few who can be on the stage, hum, a group of things that humiliate the ancestors.

  But now... Although she didn\'t say anything, she also felt that Fang Jifan was a little too stingy.

  …

  I cried, my back hurts when I coded, and I can’t see much subscription, monthly pass, and tipping. I am really a hardworking person. Even if it is five o’clock, everyone takes it for granted. Those who are too lazy to update one chapter a day, and occasionally two chapters, for readers, suddenly become a gift from heaven, and everyone cheers and shouts for the author\'s conscience.

  Okay, the first update in the morning, continue to code words.

  (end of this chapter)
