Chapter 408: So Stupid (Part 4)

The people sent by Gu Ming to He County returned to the capital as fast as they could and informed Gu Ming of the matter.

Gu Ming did not react much after hearing this. The governor-general asked, "Governor, what are you doing?"

Gu Ming said calmly, "Mu Nanjin wanted the Tang family to know that she was named the Duke of Zhenguo, so I will pass it on to let them know on her behalf."

Mu Nanjin saw that Tang Jingrui's feelings that day, not only Tang Jingrui heard it, but also everyone in the governor's academy.

The governor-general could not help laughing: "They must regret it to death."

"Let them regret it slowly."

The governor's people have already told County Magistrate Kong to mention the Duke of Zhenguo to the Tang family from time to time.

He also asked him to pretend to have something to ask the Tang family to ask for the Duke of Zhenguo's help. It would be embarrassing for the Tang family to refuse, but they could not ask Mu Nanjin.

The governor's deputy knew that the governor would not let the Tang family have an easy time, and smiled: "The people you are targeting are really unlucky."

Gu Ming raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Who is unlucky?"

The governor's deputy said quickly: "Except Mu Nanjin."

Gu Ming looked at the sky outside, stood up and said: "Let's go to the Duke's Mansion."

Today is the celebration banquet for the Duke of Zhenguo, and as colleagues, they can't be late.

Gu Ming went back to the room to change his official uniform and went to the Duke's Mansion with the Jinyiwei who received Mu Nanjin's invitation.

At this time, many guests had come to the mansion. They all wore luxurious robes, expensive jade pendants, and thumb rings on their thumbs. Everyone's clothes and accessories were more noble than the other.

They didn't chat when they came to the Duke's Mansion, but helped to entertain the guests.

The fourth and fifth rank officials who came later were stunned to see that the people who greeted them were all princes and nobles.

He even thought he had walked into the wrong mansion, so he quickly looked up at the plaque to make sure he was not in the wrong place.

"Master Zhu, you are here, please come in."

Liang Yunbin walked to the front of the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy.

The lecturer of the Hanlin Academy was flattered: "Prince Liang, you are..."

Liang Yunbin smiled and said: "The housekeeper of the Duke of Zhenguo is not familiar with you, so we will help entertain you."

Xu Bo stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Master Zhu."

He secretly glanced at the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy several times, trying to remember his appearance and identity in his mind.

Liang Yunbin said: "He is Xu Bo, the housekeeper of the Duke of Zhenguo."

The lecturer of the Hanlin Academy nodded to Xu Bo: "Butler Xu."

Xu Bo quickly made a gesture to invite: "Master Zhu, please come in."

Liang Yunbin said to Xu Bo: "I will take Master Zhu in."

Xu Bo said: "Thank you, Master."

Liang Yunbin led the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy into the mansion.

Xu Bo looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh.

If it had happened a few years ago, he couldn't imagine that he would have such a day to meet so many high-ranking officials and royal family members, and talk so much to them.

"Xu Bo, we are here."

Xu Bo came back to his senses and saw Princess Xueyu and the princesses getting off the carriage.

He hurried forward to greet them: "This old servant greets Princess Xueyu."

Princess Xueyu asked: "Where is Mu Nanjin?"

"She is in the hall."

"You don't have to greet me, I will go in by myself."

Princess Xueyu led the other princesses and the princesses into the mansion and met Liang Yunbin who had turned back: "Xueyu, you are here, I will take you in."

"I am more familiar with this place than you are. I can find Mu Nanjin myself, you can go and greet others."

Princess Xueyu walked towards the hall and heard Mu Nanjin's voice before she entered the door.

[Wow, Lord Zhu actually gave me a jade plaque. Although the jade is not big, it is worth a lot of money. ]

[For the upright and honest Lord Zhu, this cost him a lot of money. ]

[Compared to the gift from Prince Xuan, it is much more precious. ]

[It is not that the gift from Prince Xuan is worthless, but he was too casual. ]

[He thought he was not familiar with me, so he asked the servants to pick the cheapest item in the warehouse as a gift. It was too careless. ]

[Tsk tsk, I am the Duke of Zhenguo, but the other party didn't know to curry favor with me. If there is any problem in the future, I might be able to help. ]

[Well, since this person does not want to have too much contact with me, I will have less contact with him in the future. 】

Prince Guang heard Mu Nanjin's inner voice, and glared at Prince Xuan who was bowing his head with a look of disappointment: "You, I don't know what to say to you, you are so stupid."

Prince Xuan was not convinced, raised his head and asked: "Why am I stupid?"

"Knowing that she knows a lot of things, you still picked a gift so casually to give her a chance to find fault with you. Tell me if you are stupid or not, look at Lord Zhu, he guessed that Mu Nanjin would reveal the gifts sent by everyone in his inner voice, so he carefully prepared them to give Mu Nanjin a good impression."

Prince Xuan looked at Lord Zhu who was smiling and said: "I will have no intersection with her in the future, why send such an expensive gift."

"It doesn't have to be expensive, but it must be thoughtful." Prince Guang didn't want to say anything to him anymore. He angrily shook his sleeves and said, "When you cry and beg her in the future, don't blame others for not helping you."

Zhan Junwang: "..."

[The princes and nobles of the Imperial Clan are still good. I scolded them, but they didn't care about me when I won all their money. They also carefully selected gifts for me. Not bad, not bad, they are all a group of good kids. 】

The officials of the Imperial Clan couldn't help laughing.

They treated her sincerely because Mu Nanjin also treated them sincerely.

Although she won their money that day, she invited them to a big restaurant for dinner. On the way, she also asked someone to send a first-grade injury wine martial wine and a first-grade fairy wine. She also invited everyone to drink a bowl of stewed soup. After the meal, she also gave each person ten boxes of holy cream that can be used by men and women and three jars of first-grade wine.

When they brought the facial cream and wine back home, the elders were overjoyed and praised them.

After they calculated carefully, they found that the things she gave were much more valuable than the things she won.

Therefore, they could not hold it against her for the previous things, and even thought that she could make friends with her.

Of course, they did not change their opinion of her only because she invited them to dinner and gave them gifts, but also because of her inner voice.

Although she looked cold, her inner voice was very interesting and funny, which made people happy to hear. Although there were embarrassing moments, they ignored them. The most important thing was that she could truly reveal that she had no purpose in making friends with them. They felt comfortable making friends with people who had no secrets, and they did not have to guess and feel very tired.

"Mu Nanjin, I am here."

Princess Xueyu walked into the hall and handed the gift in her hand to Mu Nanjin: "This is a gift for you. I have carefully selected it. It is thoughtful, right?"

Mu Nanjin nodded.

[Since I knew that I became the Duke of Zhenguo, I started to choose gifts. It was not until yesterday that I chose a satisfactory gift. Of course it was thoughtful. ]

[The princess is so good to me, hehe. 】

Princess Xueyu couldn't help laughing when she heard her giggle.

At this time, someone outside shouted: "The governor is here - the imperial master is here -"
