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

Chapter 696: Hu Weiyong's Importance of Hujiazhuang

Hujiazhuang is the farm of the old Hu family, so the rules are naturally the rules of the old Hu family.

Master Hu is the head of the Hu family!
He loves to eat, he likes to eat delicious food, and he also likes to cook it in various ways.

If the leaders follow suit, the Hu family village will naturally have to put on a good show as well!

Look, it's obviously just the 'owner' who moved here to live for a while, but looking at the scale of this banquet, it seems that the entire manor has come out.

In front of the manor owner's mansion is a large square.

Normally, people would dry crops and hold meetings here.

But today, this empty space is bustling with people and laughter!
Tables and smiling faces gather here.

At the front is also a large square table.

Those sitting here are the Hu family.

At this time, Master Hu had not only changed into an extremely gorgeous lounge suit, but also put on a cloak.

And this cloak, under the flickering candlelight, was simply sparkling.

Obviously, this cloak is quite luxurious just by looking at its appearance.

But to be honest, this thing is somewhat inconsistent with Mr. Hu's aesthetic taste.

The concubines around him were also looking at Master Hu and laughing.

There was no other reason. How could they not be happy when they saw Master Hu forcing himself to smile and wear the clothes even though he clearly didn't like them?

She was so used to seeing her master being so domineering that whenever the emperor or the prince came to her house to discuss something, they would be turned away.

Suddenly seeing that his master has wronged him, shouldn't he take a closer look?
"Master, why do you have to dress like this? When Butler Hu sent me this outfit, you scolded him!"

Nana is a very outspoken person, so naturally she asked whatever she wanted to ask.

But as soon as this question came up, Master Hu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Without him!

Heartbreaking!
Master Hu glared at Nana unhappily, then ate a piece of food with chopsticks of hatred, raised his wine glass and gestured to the people in the distance.

After causing everyone to cheer, he drank it all in one gulp. Then he put the cup down, turned to look at Nana, and said unhappily.

"What can I do then, sir?"

"I've told you about the people in this village before. They are all the elders of my Hu family!"

"Most of them were people I adopted during the war. They didn't even have proper names. They all had the surname Hu!"

"In addition to the few distant relatives who followed me all the way from my hometown, it can be said that the people here are the ones I trust the most!"

Nana was glared at by Master Hu. If it had happened when she first arrived, she would probably have burst into tears.

But now, the girl just laughed twice and pretended not to see it. Instead, she enthusiastically poured another glass of wine for Master Hu.

The look on her face clearly wanted Master Hu to speak quickly!

Mr. Hu had nothing to hide, so he said frankly.

"These people have long shared honor and disgrace with me, the master!"

"But unfortunately, they are not from the court, and they don't know whether I am a good person or not!"

"There's no other way. We have to find a suitable way to let them know that the Hu family is fine and nothing has happened!"

"Then Master, I will have to wear only one!"

"In their eyes, anyone who can wear this is powerful!"

Now, not to mention Nana, Qiuyue and others also looked over curiously. They carefully looked at the clothes on Mr. Hu, and apart from thinking that the clothes were of good material and good craftsmanship, they didn't find anything wrong with the clothes.

You have to know that they came from the palace, where there isn't much else but a lot of rules.

Therefore, no one knows better than them what constitutes overstepping the boundaries and transgressing the law.

But what is there to be transgressing about with what I have in front of me?
Who doesn’t wear casual clothes or a cloak?

Master Hu saw that they didn't understand it, and said with a smile.

"You guys, don't use your knowledge to guess theirs!"

"They all worked in the government office more than ten years ago, and then gradually came here to retire and settle down."

"So, their knowledge is actually not much better than that of ordinary farmers!"

"How do they know what is overstepping one's authority?"

"In their eyes, being able to wear this sable fur coat and this gold-threaded embroidered gown is a symbol of my wealth and power!"

After hearing Master Hu's explanation, all the concubines were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

This... is this being rich and powerful?

Is it that simple?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.

Being able to wear clothes crocheted with gold thread proves that your family is definitely not short of money.

After all, any clothing crocheted with gold thread, in ordinary families, is definitely a "big coat" that can only be used during important ceremonies!
Because these clothes look beautiful and luxurious.

But in reality, not only are the materials and craftsmanship of these clothes expensive and difficult to maintain, but the most important thing is that they are also extremely easy to be damaged!

If this guy doesn't have a solid foundation, this kind of loss alone will drain his foundation.

Compared with this treasure that requires a top embroiderer to spend a year to meticulously create, the dresses that cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in later generations are just stupid gimmicks.

As for the sable cloak on Mr. Hu, it may not be a big deal in the eyes of others.

But in the eyes of ordinary farmers, shouldn’t this purple thing be used only by the emperor?

Anyone who dares to use this thing must have a good relationship with the emperor.

It was precisely because of this somewhat bizarre cognition that Mr. Hu accepted Hu Yi's advice and put on this thing.

It's not for anything else, just to make the people in Zhuangzi feel at ease.

And now it seems that the effect is quite good.

It’s a pity for Mr. Hu.

After all, with his body strengthened by the system, even if he is now outdoors in the bleak autumn wind, he doesn't need to wear such two large pieces.

A thick fur coat, an equally thick lounge suit, and inner clothing.

This is just like wrapping a rice dumpling.

But... as the old saying goes, we are here now, it's a big holiday...

What else can I do?
We can only let Master Hu suffer!
After Nana and the others made fun of Master Hu, they felt more understood.

It seems that we can't underestimate anyone in this village.

After all, they knew very well how lazy Master Hu was.

He is truly a tough guy who can chat with His Majesty even in his casual clothes with his chest exposed.

But now he has humbled himself to such an extent for a mere farmer. Doesn't this show that Master Hu values ​​him highly?
From this perspective, what Mr. Hu said before, that this is the heritage of the Hu family, was not wrong.

After all, only people can bring us a future! (End of this chapter)
