Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 290
Shangguan Feng reckoned that that person was the butler of the General's Mansion. It was said that the butler of the General's Mansion had been dependent on General Xu before, so he felt like a father and son, but no one would offend him easily.Offending him is almost equivalent to offending General Xu. Although the position is only a small butler, for General Xu who has no relatives, the weight of this butler must be very heavy.

His housekeeper whispered beside Shangguan Feng, Shangguan Feng had confirmed the identity of Uncle Tie, so he walked forward slowly, his pace was not too fast, he was gentle and polite, neither timid nor arrogant, and with his appearance and attire, he was carrying a It's hard for people to feel bad for a gentleman who is gentle and gentle.

"Shangguan Feng from the prime minister's mansion came to visit General Xu. Because he had a little friction with General Xu when he was drunk at the palace celebration banquet a few days ago, he came here today to apologize."

Uncle Tie was puzzled. Amu didn't tell him about it, but he also knew that Amu must have his own attention, and he didn't need to tell him every detail.

The person who came was from the prime minister's house. Uncle Tie naturally didn't dare to neglect the prime minister's house, but he didn't treat him specially. Like everyone else, please come in, sit down and drink tea, and then call Xu Mu.

Xu Mu, who stopped to rest after practicing martial arts, was sitting on a big rock in the yard. To be honest, he was a little annoyed to have to deal with those officials who didn’t know their names every day these days. Whoever the other party is, since they have all come to the door, if you are impatient to deal with it, you have to show your face, otherwise you will be rejected, and maybe it will become a target for others to criticize yourself.

So Xu Mu had no choice but to deal with it. The officials from the Ministry of Rites had just sent away, and now watching Uncle Tie approaching from a distance, Xu Mu wanted to turn his head deceptively, as if he didn't see it—he didn't know anything, I hope he didn't Yes, someone is here again.

"Amu." Uncle Tie came to the side and called him with a smile.

Hearing Uncle Tie calling him, Xu Mu had no choice but to answer, and then said as he said many times in the past few days, "Someone came to the door again? They are really annoying."

In front of Uncle Tie, Xu Mu didn't even hide his feelings.

"Amu, you can't be so impatient. This is the officialdom. You see, there used to be such good things there, but now you are just in the limelight. Those who are tempting, it’s all here now. Don’t be too irritable, there are only two families coming today, it’s much less, and it’ll be fine after a while.”

"En, well, I see." Xu Mu put on his robe as he walked resignedly, in order to be a good general, he should be bothered as much as possible.

"By the way, Uncle Tie, have you finished washing that navy blue robe?" Xu Muxiang asked casually, but his heart was agitated. It turned out that on the day of the celebration banquet, that was the coat he put on when he returned from triumph. The robe was sent to the general's mansion by the little princess. He didn't know it before, but after listening to Uncle Tie, he immediately felt that his whole body was different.

But Deng Zhixiang was still drunk after drinking that night, his clothes were full of alcohol and the vomit that Deng Zhixiang accidentally got on, he regretted it very much, if he had known earlier, he would definitely not have put on that dress.

So after knowing it, let the people in the general's mansion take it and wash it. Counting the days, it should be dry today.

"Which one?" Uncle Tie followed Xu Mu, and he already knew which clothes Xu Mu was talking about, but he still asked knowingly.

Xu Mu turned around and explained to Uncle Tie, "It was the navy blue robe that I put on after taking off my armor when I came back from the border that day. Uncle Tie, you are still there."

"Oh..." Uncle Tie prolonged his voice on purpose, with a smile in his eyes, and couldn't help but add, "So you were talking about that robe, the robe that the little princess gave me, I know Yes, I'll let someone go and have a look later, and send it to your room."

Xu Mu was satisfied now, he put on his coat and was ready to meet guests.

When he was approaching the door of the living room, Xu Mu asked who was here this time, and Uncle Tie answered truthfully.

The Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangguan Feng, what is he doing here?If it was an apology, Xu Mu felt that he would not be so sincere.

When he walked in with doubts, he saw Shangguan Feng sitting on a chair, and standing behind him was an older man, probably like Uncle Tie, a senior manager in the prime minister's mansion.

"General Xu." Seeing Xu Mu, Shangguan Feng stood up first and bowed his hands in salute.

Xu Mu raised his hand, "Sir Shangguan, you are welcome."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shangguan Feng explained his reason for coming, pointed to the "sincerity" gift brought by the butler on the table, and said, "I heard that General Xu doesn't accept gifts from others, but the gift I brought It’s different from other people’s, it’s an apology, and General Xu must accept it.”

Shangguan Feng smiled smartly, the folding fan in his hand looked seductive as always, and he fully displayed his demeanor and appearance as the first son of the Platinum Kingdom in his gestures. He said that, but the tone was not so sincere, but rather There is a kind of arrogance, and others always feel superior to others.

Xu Mu felt it, and he didn't say anything, but with such an attitude, it was impossible for him to be sincere and frank.

"Since Mr. Shangguan knows about it, why bring it today? No matter what the reason is, since you don't accept gifts from others, how can you make an exception? The General's Mansion has never accepted them before. If others don't accept them, but If you were to be a double-faced person in the prime minister's mansion, then I really dare not be. I have always disliked double-faced people. We are all officials in the same dynasty, and we should do our best to benefit the people and the country. Whether to accept these vain gifts It does not interfere with our responsibilities as officials. Mr. Shangguan has a profound literary talent, so he can understand it naturally. This general will never specialize and treat all people equally, so could it be said that the prime minister's mansion wants to specialize?"

The word "specialization" can be said to be a thorn in the officialdom that is only said behind the scenes. Some knowingly asked words are usually not said in public. When it hits the nail on the head.But the hi was really difficult to answer, he was embarrassed and angry, so he had to compromise, "Since the general is like this, if he insists on treating people equally, a gentleman can't force others to be difficult. When I go back and report to my father, I will explain everything."

Shangguan Feng said it nicely, he wanted to go back and sue his father, but in fact he wanted to use the prime minister to suppress others. The prime minister is the head of all officials, and most of the officials in the court depend on his breath for a long life, no matter how you say it It will definitely give me a little face.

It's a pity that Shangguan Feng was wrong. If he hinted in front of anyone else, he might get the desired result, but Xu Mu in front of him was not someone who had become an old fritter in the officialdom. He didn't buy it, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words.

Xu Mu nodded, "Of course it's possible."

Shangguan Feng was a little depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

Tie Bo invited Shangguan Feng to have dinner at the general's mansion just like he entertained other officials, but for some unknown reason, Shangguan Feng actually agreed.

Uncle Tie could see clearly from the side, the prime minister had a bad chat with Amu just now, why did he stay?I don't know what it means.But no matter what it means, if the guests want to stay and eat, he still has to do his best to order the kitchen well.

"The General's Mansion was completed not long ago. I wonder if I have the honor to visit the General's Mansion?" Shangguan Feng asked Xu Mu as if the unhappiness just now did not exist, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay." Xu Mu was expressionless, feeling a little displeased in his heart. His intuition was that Shangguan Feng had a superficial appearance. He didn't think highly of this person, and he was far less relaxed than when he was with Big Brother Deng and the others.

Under the leadership of Xu Mu, Shangguan Feng walked along the corridor of the General's Mansion. Xu Mu didn't talk much at first, and he wouldn't take the initiative to introduce him when he met Shangguan Feng. Shangguan Feng expressed his curiosity along the way, and asked what was the answer? Where did Xu Mu get his answer.

Because they were walking around together, Shangguan Feng took this opportunity to get rid of the following of the prime minister's housekeeper and asked him to wait in the hall. He had already agreed to go to the meeting for dinner, and the housekeeper nodded in agreement.

"General Xu, where is the courtyard over there? The layout and scenery seem to be good, why don't we go over there and have a look." Shangguan Feng pointed to a semi-independent courtyard with a semi-elliptical layout and a very elegant architectural style. The main building is a two-story pavilion, surrounded by promenades, with pavilions, pavilions, flower gardens, lotus ponds, and it is very special at first glance.

When Xu Mu wanted to stop it, it was too late, Shangguan Feng had already walked over quickly.He thought about it for a while, and he didn't know why he wanted to stop it. There was a voice in his heart telling him inexplicably not to let him step into that territory, almost subconsciously.

That courtyard, Uncle Tie also said at the beginning, was very unique, no matter it was very close to the meeting place, the martial arts field and the big courtyard of the General's Mansion, it was very convenient to go anywhere.

Back then Uncle Tie suggested that he should move in and use this courtyard as the main courtyard. Later, for some unknown reason, he didn't go there and chose to live in the west wing closest to the martial arts training ground.
