Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 379: Shen Wansan was rejected

Chapter 379: Shen Wansan was rejected
Shen Wansan's visit was based on etiquette.

First of all, thank you!

Without this thing, no one can enter the Hu's house or the house of an ordinary official.

You have to submit a greeting card first, and then wait for the other party to reply and agree on a time before you can come to the door.

This was the normal way of communication among top wealthy families during the Ming Dynasty.

It’s just that this matter also depends on the person.

For ordinary officials and nobles, Shen Wansan's housekeeper would come to the door with invitations. After making an appointment, Shen Wansan would come to the door with gifts.

But there are some officials who cannot take it lightly.

It's unclear whether other people would treat him like this, but Mr. Hu, as the only remaining big boss in Huaixi, can never be treated lightly.

No, it was obviously just a matter of sending a greeting card, but Shen Wansan did it himself.

He knows it very well, even though he has contacted many people and given out many gifts in the past few days.

But in fact, not to mention those officials who have agreed well now, how many will stand up when the time comes.

It is not impossible to turn against the person, connect with others with your backhand, and then attack him in turn.

The most important thing is that the weight of the words of these people together may not be as powerful as the words of Mr. Hu who he is visiting now.

Mr. Hu is now becoming more and more reclusive.

However, his legend is spread everywhere in the world.

Each and every one of those rumors has its own nose and eyes.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, everyone recognizes Mr. Hu’s right to speak in the court and with His Majesty.

Therefore, Shen Wansan picked out the best batch of rare things, and then personally brought the greeting card and gift list to the door.

Shen Wansan's luck was pretty good. Mr. Hu was really staying in the house at this time.

Mahjong is played with gusto.

So much so that when he heard Hu Yi say that Shen Wansan came to visit and handed over the greeting card and gift list, Mr. Hu was still a little confused.

Shen Wansan?
What is this guy doing here?
For this name, Mr. Hu may not say that it is well-known, but it is at least well-known.

You must know that in the previous life, when Mr. Hu was just Mr. Hu, there seemed to be a TV series filming Shen Wansan.

He still remembers it as Shen Wansan played by Weijian Zhang.

I have forgotten the plot, but Mr. Hu still remembers the shock of Zhang Weijian playing a costume drama with short broken hair.

In this era, after truly becoming a member of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Hu finally understood why Shen Wansan died.

Damn it, let’s not talk about making money until there is no bottom line.

The most important thing is that you still want to be powerful when you have money. Do you still want to have some soldiers in the end?
If you do this, where will you put Zhu Yuanzhang?

If you are so arrogant, who will die if you don't die?
After thinking about it, Mr. Hu casually threw the gold-plated red greeting card aside without even opening it, but he became a little more interested in the gift list.

Open it with curiosity.

Hey!
He deserves to be the richest man in the Ming Dynasty!

Look at what is written on this gift list. Not to mention rubies and sapphires, spices, golden Buddhas, screens prepared by top embroidery workers for many years, jade handles carefully crafted by top carvers...

It can be said that although Mr. Hu has not seen the actual thing above.

But he can be sure that every item here would be worth a sky-high price if placed in Yingtian Mansion.

Not only because it is precious, but also because there are many things that Yingtian Mansion does not have. Even seemingly inconspicuous items such as rubies and sapphires were most likely recovered by the fleet during sea trade.

Just talking about this gift list, there are some things on it that, even with Mr. Hu's status and wealth, they are treasures that can be passed down from generation to generation.

But Mr. Hu just glanced at it, curled his lips and threw it directly into Hu Yi's arms.

"If you don't collect things and don't see people, let them go!"

Hu Yi was startled when he heard this, and then nodded seriously.

He is not an ordinary housekeeper. As the Hu Mansion's special agent, he goes out to inquire about information and compiles a "know-it-all" report to Mr. Hu!
His eyelids are not like those ordinary housekeepers who only care about whether they are worth money.

After following Mr. Hu for so many years, especially seeing that Mr. Hu seemed to be retreating step by step, the official seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.

But the name of Hu Mansion is getting louder and louder throughout Yingtian Mansion and even the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the officialdom and the streets, even in the palace, my master is also first-rate and arrogant.

Why is my lady now able to secure her position as the Crown Princess of the East Palace? Not only does she keep the East Palace in good order, but she also manages the concubines in a very orderly manner.

Of course, this is due to the teachings Miss Hu Xinyue received, but it would be a joke to say that Hu Xinyue is not relying on Master Hu's influence here.

Precisely because he has seen more, Hu Yi is really open-minded about things like money.

Therefore, when he saw Mr. Hu giving such an order, he knew that there was most likely a trap here.

Otherwise, the master would not refuse such a gift so bluntly and tell people to go away.

Hu Yi followed Mr. Hu's instructions with a straight face and sent Shen Wansan away without ceremony.

Even though Shen Wansan's face turned blue with anger, he didn't dare to let out a fart.

Because whenever he dared to say anything, Hu Yi could make Shen Wansan submissive without the need for Mr. Hu to come forward.

Do you really think that Hu Yi, the chief steward of Hu Mansion, has been living in Yingtian Mansion all these years in vain?
After Shen Wansan left the gate of Hu Mansion, he lost his temper soon after sitting on the carriage.

But he was thinking about something at the moment.

Why did Mr. Hu refuse to visit and not even accept gifts? !

You know, as a businessman, he knows the value of these gifts very well.

Some of the officials he visited before did not want to see him, but they all accepted the gifts in the end.

Because although the value of some things is not particularly high, the main thing is novelty and fun.

Then this is not considered bribery or bribery, but just giving some toys.

Elegant fun!

Just for fun!

But why did Mr. Hu not even want this "elegance" when he came here?

Suddenly, Shen Wansan felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Is it because Mr. Hu knew something?

Shen Wansan's actions were naturally under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei!

No, he was sent out by Hu Yi with a stinking face and carried gifts on his way home. His words and deeds in the Hu Mansion and Mr. Hu's response were recorded and sent to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Master Hu knew this very well.

He could even conclude that Shen Wansan's death was not far away.

Go to Yingtian Mansion to hook up with officials and make friends. Haha, is this because you think you didn't die quickly enough?
