Chapter 77 Going to the door [For further reading]

Ever since he became a personal servant by Zhu Houzhao's side, others have always given him gifts, and he has never given gifts to others.

Now suddenly thinking about preparing a big gift for Li Huan, Gu Dayong is a little uncertain about what kind of gift he should prepare.

After pondering for a while, Gu Dayong still had no idea, he raised his head and saw the little waiter serving beside him and couldn't help waving.

The little servant quickly stepped forward and said, "What is the order from the Chief Manager?"

Gu Dayong nodded and said: "Let's ask you, if you say our family wants to give gifts to people, what should we give?"

The little servant couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard the words, as if he couldn't believe Gu Dayong's words. In his opinion, Gu Dayong is a superior existence. In the huge palace, anyone who can make Gu Dayong flatter him Only today.

Who has such a big face, even Gu Dayong wants to give gifts to the other party.

For a while, even the little servant was a little dazed, but under Gu Dayong's gaze, the little servant swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "I feel that what gift to give depends on the identity of the other party and what needs they have. Sexual choice should not be a big problem."

Gu Dayong's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

A few days later, one evening, Li Huan got off work from the yamen, and when he walked to the entrance of the alley where he lived, he couldn't help but pause and stare.

He saw several figures standing at the gate of the courtyard where he lived, and the leader was Gu Dayong, the personal attendant beside the emperor.

Some doubts arose in my heart, maybe the emperor summoned him for something.

While walking forward quickly, Li Huan showed a smile on his face and said from a distance: "If the father-in-law has something to do, even if you send someone to the yamen to spread the word, it is rude to let the father-in-law stay here for a long time."

Gu Dayong giggled, strode forward and said: "This time our family is not here for business, so why go to the yamen to bother brother Li, it's our family who bothered me."

Li Huan was even more surprised, he led Gu Dayong into the yard while exchanging greetings, and said, "The humble house is so simple and shabby, I can't get into my father-in-law's eyes, I made my father-in-law laugh at me."

Gu Dayong looked at the small courtyard, the courtyard was not big, and it was extremely tidy, but he couldn't get rid of the fact that it was just an ordinary small courtyard.

Ordinarily, with Li Huan's status and power, if he wanted to find a good courtyard in this capital, it was just a matter of one word, and he didn't need to come forward, someone would prepare it, but Li Huan lived in such a small courtyard. , Gu Dayong admired him just because of his unflappable temper.

"Little brother is an upright official, our family deeply admires him!"

Welcoming Gu Dayong into the living room, and while greeting Lianqiao and serving tea, Li Huan said with a smile: "My father-in-law is not serving His Majesty in the palace, how can I have time to find my younger brother!"

Gu Dayong smiled slightly, and said to the little eunuchs outside the door: "Bring the things in for our family!"

Just now Li Huan noticed a big box next to Gu Dayong, and he was very curious. Seeing several young eunuchs carrying the box in, he couldn't help but look at Gu Dayong and said, "Eunuch, this is..."

Gu Da smiled but said to a young eunuch: "Open the box!"

As the little eunuch opened the box, a strong medicinal fragrance rushed to his face. There were all kinds of prepared medicinal materials neatly in the box, and the medicinal fragrance emanated from these medicinal materials.

At a glance, there are hundreds of years of human body, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc. Li Huan has handled too many medicinal materials in the past two years. Just by smelling the fragrance of the medicinal materials, he can tell that these medicinal materials are definitely the top treasures. Estimated, the value is probably no less than tens of thousands of taels.

In particular, some of the herbs are just the aids he needs for his breakthrough in practice. If he can find and make a decoction, it will be enough to make his practice speed increase by leaps and bounds.

With a bit of surprise, Li Huan looked at Gu Dayong and said, "These herbs..."

Noticing the change in Li Huan's expression, Gu Dayong couldn't help but giggled and said, "I gave it to you brother, how about it, are you satisfied?"

It turned out that Gu Dayong learned from Ma Yongcheng that Li Huan seemed to be haunting the pharmacy recently, looking for some precious medicinal materials, and then thought of Li Huan's practice of Kung Fu outside his family, and immediately knew what gift he should give Li Huan.

After several days of preparation, Gu Dayong brought this box of carefully selected precious medicinal materials to the door to thank him. Now seeing Li Huan's reaction, Gu Dayong knew that this gift was definitely the right one.

Li Huan went to several medicine shops these days, either they didn't have them or the prices were too harsh. He didn't have enough money at all. Looking at so many medicines now, it would be a lie to say that he was not satisfied.

But soon Li Huan calmed down, looked at Gu Dayong with some doubts, and said, "Brother Gu, this gift is really too precious, as the saying goes, you don't get rewarded without merit, I dare not accept it!"

Gu Dayong couldn't help laughing and said: "To tell you the truth, brother, I have entrusted you with your blessing, and now I have been promoted by His Majesty to be the head of the horse inspector. These medicinal materials are just a little bit of my heart, so you must collect them." Down."

Li Huan was at a loss as to what to do with Gu Dayong's promotion to the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. He has been busy these days receiving the Jinyiwei personnel who were transferred from below, and he didn't even see the emperor's face. There is no chance to help Gu Day with good words.

Seeing Li Huan's puzzled look, Gu Dayong looked around and waved his hands at the young eunuchs, who immediately backed out. Seeing this, Li Huan knew that it must be Gu Dayong who wanted to He told himself some secrets, so he nodded at Forsythia.

Lian Qiao also retreated with the two maids, only Li Huan and Gu Dayong were left in the living room.

At this moment, Gu Dayong told Li Huan what happened with a serious face, and then patted Li Huan on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Brother, you have completely won His Majesty's trust, and you will become a great success in the future." It's not a problem. Thanks to you, brother, I was able to successfully sit on the position of the Chief Horse Supervisor."

Li Huan was not surprised to hear that Dongchang reported his meeting with Luo Wenxiang to the emperor. Dongchang itself had the duty to supervise the officials of Jinyiwei, and the emperor entrusted him with such an important matter. If the emperor doesn't order, Ma Yongcheng, the factory owner, will also report the news about him to the emperor.

It's just that what Li Huan didn't expect was that the emperor Zhu Houzhao was so aggrieved by the oppression of hundreds of officials. Originally, Zhu Houzhao was a young man who advocated freedom. It was really not easy to be stable for so long. It was too hard to be oppressed.

Think about it, Li Huan wanted to thank the officials and the cabinet this time. If they didn't want to take care of everything, even Jin Yiwei, the son of the army, they didn't want Zhu Houzhao to intervene, so how could he have the opportunity Li Huan has now.

As for Gu Dayong's promotion to the head of the Royal Horse Supervisor, it can only be said that it was just at the right time. With the relationship between Gu Dayong and Zhu Houzhao, it is only a matter of time before he assumes power.

Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Now you know why my brother came to thank you."

Li Huan looked at the box of precious medicinal materials that he really needed right now, pondered for a while and said, "That's how disrespectful my little brother is!"

Gu Dayong laughed loudly and said, "You are about to be in charge of Jinyiwei. Do you want anything at that time? I'm afraid you won't be able to see even this little medicinal material."
