Chapter 123 Extravagant
At this moment, in the small dining hall of the Royal Fashion Bureau for female officials, the female officials from all divisions are already sitting around the table, waiting for Mu Gui's arrival.

Most of the female officials even prepared congratulatory gifts for Mu Gui.

Lu Sibao got angry in front of Mu Gui in the morning, and looking at Zheng Siyi now is very unpleasant.

Before Mu Gui came, she greeted all the female officials, scanned the gifts brought by everyone, and found that only Si Yisi was empty-handed, and didn't seem to bring anything.

Lu Sibao sneered and said: "Zheng Siyi, although you are affectionate and haven't seen each other for ten years, you can still call me by your name, and entrusting you with the management of the banquet is to reward you with favor, but You can't be so arrogant that you don't even prepare a congratulatory gift for your lord, right?"

Seeing what Lu Sibao said, Zhou Sizhang, who had always been on good terms with her, persuaded Zheng Siyi, "Yes, sister. We know that you were busy with the celebration banquet, and you were negligent for a while, but your lord may not have thought of this." .

Now that the adults haven't arrived, why don't you take them back and prepare some gifts. "

Zhang Yi and Dian Yi under Zheng Siyi were a little moved, but they didn't dare to get up immediately, and only looked at Zheng Siyi's face.

Seeing that Zheng Siyi couldn't sit still like Mount Tai, he slowly smiled at everyone: "Sisters, you are worrying too much, we also prepared gifts for the adults, but they are not as thick as the ones given by the sisters, so they are not very conspicuous."

As Zheng Siyi said, he looked at a big box next to Lu Sibao and said, "What kind of treasure is this gift from sister? Can you tell us first and ask us to give advice, if the gift is worse than sister's There are too many, and I am still embarrassed to take them out.”

The others had actually seen the gift box a long time ago, but they were just curious in their hearts and didn't say it clearly. Now when Zheng Siyi asked, they all looked at the gift box curiously, waiting for Lu Sibao to speak.

But Lu Sibao played tricks with them, stretched out his hand to support him and said: "That's the case, let's not talk about the Sibao in advance, it's better to wait for the adults to open it up, and then you can learn more."

Just when someone outside reported that Mu Gui had come, all the female officials stood up and saluted her.

"Don't bother, today is Ben Shangfu inviting everyone to dinner, treat it as a family feast, don't worry about it."

All the female officials didn't dare to really relax after hearing this, they just stood up a little bit and raised their heads to look at Mu Gui, but when they saw Jiang Baoyu who was leading in by her, they were all stunned.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lu Sibao immediately stood up and stopped the two of them.

"My lord, Jiang Baoyu has always been stubborn and disobedient to discipline because she is the granddaughter of Jiang Shangfu. I have heard about the fact that she caused trouble in your courtyard today. It's just that such a naughty child really doesn't need to be disciplined by an adult. Why don't you hand it over to me?" Leave it to the officer to handle."

After speaking, she stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Baoyu.

Jiang Baoyu reacted faster than her, he hid behind Mu Gui and put his arms around her waist.

"Master save me."

"Master—Master?"

Lu Sibao cried out in surprise, and the female officers present were also dumbfounded.

But Mu Gui sighed helplessly, quickly rolled his eyes at Jiang Baoyu, pulled him to his side, walked around Lu Sibao, and said: "Shangguan educates the newly promoted young ladies, this is the rule, you all The unwanted child should naturally be disciplined by Ben Shangfu, and this child will follow Ben Shangfu from now on."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that what Mu Gui did was different from the rumors.

As Jiang Rongxi's niece and granddaughter, Jiang Baoyu not only didn't get angry when she committed such a crime, but even took her in as an apprentice. Wouldn't she be lenient towards the Jiang family and those female officials who used to work for Jiang Rongxi?

The female officials thought this way, and after Mu Gui led Jiang Baoyu to sit on the seat, they all stood in a row in front of the long table with gifts, headed by Lu Sibao, waiting to present gifts to Mu Guijin.

Under the leadership of Zheng Siyi, all the female officials of the Dusiyi Division were still sitting there, showing no intention of getting up.

Lu Sibao winked at Zheng Siyi for a long time but didn't respond, he said in his heart that everyone will give gifts together, and you will come out to destroy the formation. When Mu Gui gets angry, don't you want everyone to suffer together?
She also sighed in her heart that Zheng Siyi was young. After all, he was promoted because of Jiang Yuanhui's lack. Jiang Rongxi had always treated his subordinates leniently. She hadn't realized the dangers of this officialdom yet.

Seeing that her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not eyes in front of Mu Gui in the morning, she thought she was very capable, but who would have thought that she, the former agent Shang Fu, would have to speak good words for her in the end.

So Lu Sibao hurriedly nodded and bowed to Mu Gui and said, "My lord, Zheng Siyi has led the sisters of Si Yisi to work all morning for the congratulatory banquet of the lord. It is of course indispensable, and our sisters can't be ignored by her." Comparing this, I specially prepared a congratulatory gift for my lord, it’s not a respect, it’s a small gesture."

Jiang Baoyu looked at Lu Sibao's face from the side, and then looked at the gifts held by the female officials behind her, all of them were exquisitely packaged and beautiful, and judging by the expressions of the people, they must be able to take them out.

In such a short time, can such a gift be prepared?
In terms of the initials of Si, the highest annual salary of this female official in the palace is less than 30 taels of silver. Can she really come up with any decent gift so easily?
Jiang Baoyu couldn't help but recall that when Douhua and the others organized the welcome banquet for the little maid, they used the rare treasure silk gauze without blinking their eyes.

It was inevitable that she would look at Mu Gui next to her again, wondering if the people in the palace were really as extravagant as Mu Gui worried about?

However, this Lu Sibao has never winked. I don't know that Mu Gui hates extravagance the most. Jiang Baoyu is really worried that she will hit Mu Gui's muzzle soon, and subconsciously hides to the side, thinking about when to start Plug your ears.

Seeing that Mu Gui actually laughed.

"Okay, since it's your wish, let's present it."

As she said that, she turned her head to look at Jiang Baoyu and said, "Remember to open and check one by one in front of everyone, read it aloud, and register it in the booklet. You can't waste your efforts in vain."

"Little girl to register?"

Jiang Baoyu's eyes widened, but he still didn't realize it.

Is she, Mu Gui, blinded by Qian Qian?

The co-author's righteous words in front of me just now are all for me to hear. It's different when you are here, isn't it?

Jiang Baoyu looked at Mu Gui in a daze, while Lu Sibao's gift had already been delivered to her.

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Mu Gui had to remind her again with a smile: "What are you still doing in a daze? Don't make Lu Sibao wait for a long time. I think the gift is still very heavy."

Jiang Baoyu looked at Mu Gui in a daze, and felt that she was like a gold-swallowing Pixiu at the moment. When she looked at the gift box in Lu Sibao's hand, her mouth seemed to be drooling...
