Liu Haojia smiled and said, "I heard from Zhang Banban that there will be a big banquet in the palace in the next two days, and the Duke of Guo should be present at that time! Why don't you ask the Long Live Lord in person then?"
When Xu Guogong heard this, he twirled his beard, glanced at the other two people, and then said slowly: "Is it true that there is another hero in the old Zhu family? But looking at the way Long Live Master behaves, he doesn't look like a hero! "
When Liu Haojia heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing, but smiled secretly in his heart! As long as any emperor can agree with him, he can probably embody some heroic qualities! This is the only advantage that modern people, who have received a large amount of information, have over ancient people!
Duke Cheng Guo just said with a straight face: "Maybe after three years of silence, he will become a blockbuster!"
Duke Dingguo could only nod his head to accept this statement and said, "Since we have said everything today, let's do it! Let's discuss it later and meet again!"
After saying that, he stood up and left first, and then the four of them returned to the banquet. These honorable men acted as if they had never been out before, eating, drinking, and having fun, and they stayed until late at night before leaving!
When Xu Guogong returned to his palace in the capital, he did not go directly to the bedroom to rest, but went directly to the study. After the maid brought tea, he said to the butler: "Tomorrow you are going to do something. You are going to the market to buy a few children around the age of ten. They are male or female, but they must be articulate! Let me know when you have finished buying."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said carefully: "Sir, if we want to bring in people in our house, we never go to the market to buy them! The people there are all country bumpkins who have not been trained and have no education! You If you want to get in, just ask Ren Yazi to send some people over. The people they have have been carefully trained and know the rules!"
Xu Guogong waved his hands irritably and said, "You can do whatever I ask you to do!"
The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only agree and then said: "Master, it's already late at night, you'd better go to bed early!"
Xu Guogong took a look at the sky and said casually: "I'm not going to the bedroom today. I'm too lazy to move around, so just sleep in the study! Just clean it up!"
The housekeeper hurriedly called the maid to tidy up the bed in the study, and then quietly exited! But what he didn't know was that Xu Guogong sat at the desk for a long time and waited until the candles went out before going to bed.
The next day, Duke Xu got up late! After all, I slept too late last night. And the housekeeper found that he went to bed too late, so he didn't call him deliberately in the morning!
After briefly washing up, Xu Guogong ate his late breakfast, and then asked: "Have the people who asked you to buy them bought them back? Just bring them here after buying them."
The housekeeper said: "I bought them back. Now we are arranging for someone to wash them! Their original appearance is really shameful!"
At this point, the housekeeper tried to persuade him again and said: "Master, there is actually no shortage of people in our house! We can't even use the children we have, and we are still sending them away! What's the use of buying a few more children? These children are just one He is very wild and has never learned any rules! It also takes a long time to train him, so there is no need for him!"
Xu Guogong smiled and said, "Why are you talking so much today? Bring the people here now!"
The housekeeper reluctantly agreed and walked out. After taking two steps, he heard Xu Guogong say: "By the way, bring them the clothes they changed out of!"
The housekeeper didn't say much this time, because he knew that Xu Guogong was always a stickler for his words, and he had already made him unhappy by persuading him a lot today. So he nodded and went out!
After a while, the housekeeper came in with two servants and five children! The housekeeper was also carrying a cloth bag in his hand! It looked like he was carrying something far away from his body as if there was something dirty inside the bag!
Xu Guogong looked at these five children. They were all about ten years old! They all look sallow and thin! The clothes they were wearing should be clothes worn by their own servants and children, but they turned out to be empty and didn't fit them at all!
And just like what the housekeeper said, these children were not standing well and looked very unruly! After coming in, I didn't know how to lower my hands and lower my head. Instead, I grabbed my hands and scratched my arms. There were all kinds of postures! And all five children were staring at Xu
The Duke's breakfast makes me drool! The youngest one couldn't hold back his drool, dripping from the corner of his mouth onto his chest!
When Xu Guogong looked carefully, he found that one of the children was somewhat different from the other four! As soon as he thought about it for a moment, he had a plan in his mind! Then he put down his chopsticks and said to the five children with a smile: "You just entered the house and haven't eaten yet, right?"
Several children nodded desperately when they heard this, and they couldn't hide the desire for food in their eyes! When Xu Guogong saw this, he pointed directly at the snacks on the table and said, "Give them those two plates of snacks!"
The housekeeper's eyes bulged angrily when he heard Xugong's instructions, but he still signaled the servants to take the heart from the table and give it to the children!
The snacks on this table are actually not for eating, but for beautiful display! But even so, the desserts on the plate are changed every day! After all, this is the Duke of Xu's mansion. If outsiders see that the snacks on the plate are overnight, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the Duke of Xu's mansion? As for the snacks that were taken away, they were naturally divided among the servants!
Those children were already hungry, and now that some snacks were given to them, they naturally ate them up! In particular, Xu Guogong’s dim sum is made of exquisite ingredients and top-notch workmanship, and is naturally extremely sweet! The children were so choked that they rolled their eyes!
Xu Guogong frowned a little when he saw this! The housekeeper kept looking at his face and thought he was angry when he saw his frown. Just when he was about to reprimand the children, he heard Xu Guogong said: "There is no wink at all! Why don't you get them some water quickly!"
The housekeeper was secretly angry when he heard this! My dignified butler in Duke Xu's mansion is actually serving a few refugee children. It's simply unreasonable! But since it was the Duke who spoke, he could only ask the servants to give everyone a glass of water!
While the children were eating snacks, Xu Guogong asked: "Why are they all boys? Are there no female dolls?"
The housekeeper said: "Sir, the people who went out to do errands also said so! All the female dolls in the market that looked human were bought! The rest were incomprehensible, and they didn't even dare to open their mouths. ! At least these five little guys dared to answer a question, so I took the initiative and brought them back!"
Xu Guogong nodded and said, "Then do their parents know that the children were sold to our house?"
