Soon, Xu Rong was taken to the mansion by the housekeeper.

The prime minister's mansion was very big. He was wearing casual clothes and carrying a gift box in his hand. He followed the butler and looked around from time to time.

When he was about to arrive in the living room, out of etiquette, Liu Yuzhi came over and bowed and said, "I don't know if the general is here, I'm not welcome."

"The prime minister has been defeated by the emperor." Seeing this, Xu Rong hurriedly bowed and bowed his waist to the end.

"Hey? General, please use tea in the hall." Liu Yuzhi smiled and stretched out his hand, without any airs.

"Ah, please ask the Prime Minister."

When he first dated the Prime Minister in private, he was very powerful, but he was extremely humble. Xu Rong was inevitably a little flattered. After entering the living room, the two of them sat down with the host and the host, and he seemed more restrained.

After the servant brought the tea, Liu Yuzhi naturally glanced at the brocade box he brought, and asked subconsciously: "General Xu is this..."

"Ah." Seeing this, Xu Rong hurriedly said: "Today, I have taken the liberty to visit. There are so many rude things. I hope the prime minister will forgive me. This is a little care from the subordinate, and it is not worthy of respect..."

As he said that, he also took the brocade box from the table beside him, saying that he would stand up and present it respectfully.

Seeing this, Liu Yuzhi raised his hand slightly and pressed down: "General, please sit down, no need to do so."

"Ah? This..." Xu Rong's butt was stuck on the chair, holding the brocade box, looking like he wanted to get up but was at a loss.

The brocade box was not opened, but his gift was imaginable and absolutely not light.

As the prime minister of a country, Liu Yuzhi was actually not rich. The mansion was granted by Xiao Yuan. The only income was only the official salary, and he had to raise some servants. It is conceivable that there was no spare money.

If he wants to receive gifts, what is Xu Rong's brocade box worth?

But these are obviously outsiders for Liu Yuzhi, who is worried about the country and the people. He also smiled slightly and said bluntly: "The general is here to bring such a heavy gift. If it is expected, it should be related to the Eight Snatch Generals?"

"This..." Xu Rong seemed a little panicked after being told by a word. After pausing, he said: "The Prime Minister has a clear understanding that since he followed the king, he has experienced more than twenty wars. He dared not say that he has made outstanding achievements, but he has also made some military achievements. Now that the king has not given an order, the minister is in his heart..."

Speaking of this, he paused.

How could Liu Yuzhi not understand what he meant? He continued to smile and said with a smile: "The general's military achievements are obvious to all. The country remembers them, and the king also remembers them. There is no need to worry about this, but this ceremony will be an unnecessary move."

"Ah, Prime Minister, this." Xu Rong wanted to say something else.

Liu Yuzhi interrupted him: "Have you ever thought about if I accept your gift today, then after that, even if the general can rank first, will he be discussed privately by other generals, saying that you are seeking official positions with great gifts."

"Originally, you have made military achievements, but because of this etiquette, you might lose your military achievements. Do you understand what it means?"

When Xu Rong heard this, he was shocked and stood up in a hurry, saying in a trembling voice: "Master, you are the minister who is prone to the liberty. This gift only represents a little intention, and there is no other intention. Please observe clearly..."

"Okay, please tea." Liu Yuzhi changed the subject and reached out to invite him.

"This, this, that's it." Xu Rong sat back blankly, quickly holding up the teacup with both hands.

I thought that this meeting would make a good deal of currying out the prime minister and saying good things would be of some effect, but unexpectedly, Liu Yuzhi's words made Xu Rong sweat on his forehead.

He was embarrassed and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. After finally drinking tea, he didn't dare to stop and quickly got up and said goodbye.

Liu Yuzhi naturally stood up and gave him a look.

The two of them bowed to each other at the door of the mansion. Xu Rong left. On the way, he was still holding the brocade box and sighed.

In his opinion, this was obviously a failure to give gifts, but instead he had a bad impression of the Prime Minister.

In depressed, he also found Jia You and told him about his troubles.

After hearing this, the latter immediately said without hesitation: "It's so stupid! Who is the Prime Minister? You are so abrupt in this gift!"

"Then, what should I do? The Prime Minister won't use this to catch my handle, right?" Xu Rong asked in a hurry.

"You are too careless." Jia You said, "With the prime minister's mind, this kind of thing is impossible, but remember that there are murderous intentions everywhere in the officialdom. Fortunately, you rashly give gifts this time, and you are giving the Prime Minister. If someone else has ulterior motives, you will be finished by studying your book in front of the king!"

"Ah!?" Xu Rong felt scared when he heard this.

Jia You continued: "A common man is brave but not scheming, and he acts too recklessly. I have also heard that the eight generals were awarded the title of title. What are you worried about? If you don't have your reputation, you will not have enough merits. No matter how many gifts you give, it will be useless, because in the Qin State, generals are the only condition for military merit."

At the same time, the Qin Palace.

In the study, Xiao Yuan was reviewing the memorial.

Soon, Gu Xue walked in with hot tea.

"Xue'er?" Xiao Yuan knew the beauty without looking up, and knew who the person was.

The latter put the teacup on the table, then walked to Xiao Yuan, gently pinched his shoulders for him, and said, "Husband, I heard that a batch of new silk came to Jinxiu Villa recently. I want to go out with Duoduo to have a look."

"You're going shopping again?" Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly, "But this time, I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you."

"I know you're busy." Gu Xue was helpless.

"Thank you, Madam, for understanding." Xiao Yuan smiled dryly, and suddenly asked, "Did you call Qingman?"

"Screamed."

"Well, you are so familiar with each other, especially Duoduo, don't let her be so hostile."

"I know, they have a good relationship now. When they go out for a trip this time, they will definitely get closer." Gu Xue said.

"This is my princess."

Xiao Yuan was just finished his work, so he couldn't help but hold her little hand and pull it into his arms.

Caught off guard, Gu Xue let out a soft cry subconsciously.

The soft fragrance and Wen Yu hugged her heart. Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and his hands immediately became distrusted. He began to lean towards the ribbon on his waist, trying to pull it apart, and kissed her lips at the same time.

"Woo..." Gu Xue struggled a little, looked shy and said in a low voice: "No."

What does she mean? You can’t touch your own woman yet?

Xiao Yuan was unhappy at that time and was about to continue leaning over and kissing, but Xu Hu suddenly heard from outside the hall: "King, Lord Shangguan asks for a visit."

The princess was inside, so Xu Hu certainly didn't dare to come in directly like usual.

Xiao Yuan felt disappointed and couldn't help but say in silence: "Let him wait."
