The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 82: Rank 5! But I enjoy the treatment of a marquis!

"Master Gu is worrying too much!"

The eunuch smiled and said, "This is a gift from His Majesty. I am just following orders!"

"Uh!"

Gu Jingzhi asked doubtfully, "Eunuch, even if it was granted by His Majesty...this is not in accordance with the rules, right?"

"Master Gu, His Majesty's words...are the rules!"

The eunuch said with a smile, then leaned over to Gu Jingzhi's ear and whispered, "Master Gu, don't worry. This matter is indeed ordered by His Majesty."

"But why is this?"

Speaking of luxury houses...who can resist the temptation of luxury houses from ancient times to the present?

However, there are strict regulations for the residences of Daxia officials. Secondly, such a large house... he can't afford it with his current financial resources!

This is just like in modern times, if you let people who earn a few thousand yuan a month live in a luxury villa area, they probably won’t be able to pay the property management fees!

The eunuch continued in a low voice, "This story begins in the fourth year of Jianwu. That year, our dynasty suffered a defeat in the north, and as a result, His Majesty issued an order that whoever recovered the ten northern states would be granted the title of Duke!"

"Your Excellency has made great contributions in the negotiations, and has taken over all five states! However, since you are a civil servant and have only been in the court for a short time, I cannot grant you many titles. Therefore, I have awarded you this mansion of marquisate quality as a token of my honor! So, Master Gu, please do not refuse it!"

"That's...okay!"

He was puzzled before. The mansion given by the emperor must be of good quality, but what kind of mansion would require thirty slaves? He didn't expect that it was a mansion of the size of a marquis's mansion.

It seems that my achievements are enough to be awarded the title of marquis, but because these achievements came so easily, and I am a civil servant by birth and have been in the court for too short a time, I cannot be awarded such a title.

However, the emperor gave some of the treatment of a marquis.

He was wondering why Liu Sandao, the head of the Internal Guard, was transferred to serve under him. It seemed that he was considering rewarding him!

Seeing that he no longer hesitated, the young eunuch immediately stepped forward and pushed open the door.

"My lord please!"

Gu Jingzhi looked into the courtyard and his eyes suddenly widened. Wow, there were thirty people kneeling in a neat row at the door.

The leader was a man who looked to be about forty years old, and behind him were old women, maids and servants, about half of them were men and half were women.

"Listen carefully, you slaves! This man before you is the current Minister of Rites, Secretary Gu. From now on, he will be your master. Why don't you pay your respects to him?"

As soon as the young eunuch finished speaking, the leading man immediately kowtowed and said, "I am Jiang Feng, the humble servant, and I pay my respects to the Lord!"

The maids and servants behind him all bowed their heads to the ground and said, "Greetings, Master!"

"Uh……"

Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched: "Everyone get up!"

To be honest, in the past few months, except for Lao Huang who was by his side, he was always alone. He had gotten used to it!

Looking at Gu Jingzhi who was feeling a little uncomfortable, the young eunuch smiled and said, "Sir, these are the families and servants of the criminals' residences. Although they are all guilty, they are good at serving people!"

Ok?

Gu Jingzhi understood the elegant meaning from the sound of the strings. This young eunuch was so familiar with these people, so he must be able to choose.

He glanced at the servants, then turned around and said, "Well, eunuch, you've been tired all the way. Would you like to have a cup of tea?"

"Hi!"

The young eunuch smiled and said, "We are all doing errands for Your Majesty, so how can we say it's hard work? Your Majesty is moving into a new house today, and there are many things to do. I won't bother you any more! Come on..."

He turned around and said to the eunuchs carrying the boxes, "Carry His Majesty's reward to Lord Gu's house, be careful..."

Watching the group carrying all kinds of valuables in, the young eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty has given away a lot of gold, silver, and jade. They are all on the list. Sir Gu, please take a look!"

"My father-in-law is a steady and reliable person. I trust him. There's no need to go through so much trouble!"

Looking at the list handed over, Gu Jingzhi put it directly into his sleeve, then placed a silver note in the eunuch's hand: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please excuse me for making this trip."

"Master Gu cares so much about us servants. From now on, the servants in this mansion will be blessed!"

A smile suddenly appeared on the young eunuch's face. He said something rather flattering, then waved to the other eunuchs and said, "Put the things away, and wait outside the gate!"

Gu Jingzhi watched this scene with a smile. After the others left, the eunuch said with a smile: "Master Gu, since we are here, I will take my leave!"

"Please come in, sir!" Gu Jingzhi said with a smile.

The young eunuch nodded and walked towards the door. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said, "Sir, His Majesty's reward is a great favor. Don't forget to submit a letter of thanks!"

As he said this, he smiled slightly and took his people away from Gu Jingzhi's new home.

……

The palace eunuchs had just left, and Gu Jingzhi looked at the others: "Who is the boss here?"

Boss?

Jiang Feng raised his head and looked at Gu Jingzhi. Gu Jingzhi followed his gaze and said, "You, I remember you have a name, Jiang Feng, right?"

"Yes! My Lord!"

"So you are the boss?"

"Uh... I was an official for a few years before!"

"Alright! Then you can continue to be an official in the future!"

Gu Jingzhi waved his hand indifferently, then said: "You take a few people with me, we're moving today..."

move place?

Jiang Feng shuddered, and turned around and said, "All the servants in the mansion, follow me..."

"Okay, okay, you don't need that many. Two or three will be enough!"

Gu Jingzhi was speechless. It was just moving house, not a big deal. Why would it require more than a dozen people?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng quickly said, "Then Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, you two should come with me! The rest of you should clean up the house. The master will be staying here tonight!"

Gu Jingzhi glanced at the servants. The young eunuch was really attentive. The servants he selected were all good-looking. Some of them even looked like ladies from wealthy families!

He shook his head slightly, then said to Jiang Feng, "Have someone pack these boxes first, and then get a carriage. My original residence is in Ning'anfang, and you'll know when you get there!"

"..."

Jiang Feng was stunned when he heard this.

This new master is really too careless! Those are all treasures bestowed by His Majesty, yet he lets his servants handle them so casually?

He thought for a moment and said, "Master, these items are all gifts from His Majesty. How about putting them in your main room first, and wait for you to deal with them personally later?"

Gu Jingzhi looked up at him and nodded secretly in his heart.

After all, he had been an official in a wealthy family, so he could tell the difference between imperial gifts and ordinary things. He waved his hand and said, "You can arrange everything yourself! I still have important matters to take care of. When you are done, go directly to Ning'anfang!"

Having said that, he left directly through the main door, leaving behind a room full of servants looking at each other in bewilderment.

This new master seems to be very casual!

Jiang Feng glanced at the servants and suddenly said, "Tao'er, Jian'er, Xian'er, and Yue'er, from now on, the four of you will be responsible for the master's daily life. The others will make a decision after the master returns."

Upon hearing this, the others looked at the four girls dressed as maids with some envy.

This is good looking...it's an advantage!
