Royal Gold Magistrate

After the two parted, Fang Zhengyi didn't take this matter to heart.

But Xu Wenshu seemed to be serious, and really told many people about it in private.

So much so that on the second day, as soon as Fangzheng handed over the memorial, Emperor Jing asked a special question.

After retiring from the court, many people gathered around and congratulated him one after another.

In such a situation, Fang Zhengyi could only make a big fuss and hold a banquet at the Princess Mansion.

He didn't send invitations, whoever wants to come... There are too many people congratulating him, and he can't remember who is who.

But it’s good if there are too many people, so we can charge more gifts~

With this status, it is unreasonable not to accept it, so if incorruptibility is written in the history books, will future generations feel as if it is fake?

On the day of the birthday party, guests gathered.

The door announced the gift list outside.

"The Ministry of Rites presents Mr. Shi Zhongshi Mingshi with a coral pen holder..."

"Master Yu Xiuyu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, presented a picture of auspicious clouds and cranes..."

"Emperor Physician Hu, the envoy of the imperial hospital, gave me a diamond..."

"Master Shen Yishen, a doctor from the household department, a gift for the labor force..."

Fangzheng rubbed his chin with a stiff smile on his face.

What, what kind of rags are these people giving away!

Diamonds, watches I use them to send?I really don't know how to choose gifts!

Today I am still eagerly looking forward to seeing some rare treasures or something.

However, Shen Yi had been working as a newspaper reporter in his early years, and was later assigned to Yuding City, and only recently returned to Beijing to be an official. The key is that he is honest and upright, and he can understand without money.

But what about the others!

What a waste of such a big banquet...

Standing beside him, Li Miaohan also had a slight smile on her face: "Husband, why did you start making a fuss about your birthday this year? How many people did you invite?"

Fangzheng said helplessly: "I can't help it. Someone who is very popular wants to celebrate for me. I didn't invite anyone specifically. Anyone who wants to come can come."

"Is the emperor coming today?" Li Miaohan asked.

"His Royal Highness can't say it anymore. He has something to do. He doesn't want to get involved considering how many people will be there today. He specially made me a hamburger yesterday morning as a celebration." Fang Zhengyi said while covering his face.

With so many people, the prince is the cutest!

Shang Chaoqian personally delivered him a hamburger that he said was made by himself, and it was over.

Although the items were cheap, Fang Zhengyi was quite satisfied.

After all, in his opinion, mind is much more important than money.

...

After a long time, it was finally full of guests.

Fangzheng scanned the audience with a glance, and found that most of them were unknown, and there were not many acquaintances.

Xu Wenshu was the only person who came here in person.

The others are all older than him, and in terms of low status, they are no lower than him, so there is no need to come.

It's easy to lose your tongue if you are in a rush to flatter, so everyone should pay attention to face.

And Fang Zhengyi has been doing things for so many years. Everyone knows that he is not the kind of clique to seek private interests, nor is he a villain who makes trouble behind his back. It is enough to ask someone to send a gift and say hello.

Xu Wenshu's situation is a bit special, after all, he started the matter.

And recently, the household department and Fang Zhengyi have had extremely close exchanges.

From the stock exchange to Jingxing Bank, Fang Zhengyi participated, and Dajing has also begun to carry out drastic tax reforms.

After a long time of communication, Fang Zhengyi's knowledge occasionally threw out some ideas, which made Xu Wenshu call it wonderful.

The relationship between the two is pretty good now.

When the courtyard was quiet again, Fang Zhengyi just raised his wine glass and wanted to say a few polite words, when there was a loud announcement from the door.

"Eunuch Guo is here!"

The audience was solemn and looked towards the door one after another.

Guo Tianyang walked in with small steps and a smile on his face, followed by a little eunuch holding a tray.

Walking up to Fangzheng, he said, "Marquis Jianye, His Majesty knows that your birthday is today, so he specially ordered this servant to bring you a pot of imperial wine!"

Many small officials in the courtyard exclaimed secretly.

Some of them have never dealt with Fang Zhengyi, or even met him.

I heard that people can come here for their birthdays without an invitation, so I want to have a meal and enjoy myself!

Good guy!It's a big scene!

Jianye Hou celebrates his birthday, and His Majesty comes to give gifts.

Today is really not in vain!What a face!

Even if you didn't catch up with Jianyehou, it's worth bragging about it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Fangzheng thanked him together, and took the imperial wine.

I can't help complaining in my heart.

Neither of these fathers is affordable, one is free food and the other is free...

"Jianyehou, then our family will go back and return to order." Guo Tianyang said and raised his feet to leave.

Fangzheng grabbed him and said, "Brother Guo, you're here, let's have a meal before leaving."

Guo Tianyang hesitated: "Is this suitable? Our family didn't bring anything, besides, His Majesty is still waiting."

"I'm not short of money, just eat a meal, anyway, you'll still be standing when you go back."

"..."

"That's fine, I'll just sit for a while." Guo Tianyang replied in a muffled voice.

Oh shit!Hurt me again!

However, Xiao Fang can't afford to offend him now, so he can do whatever he says.

Since people are giving me face, then stay and eat a few bites, anyway, I will stand when I go back...

Guo Tianyang took his seat.

Fang Zhengyi took the imperial wine and said: "Everyone is here today to give Fang some face. With the help of His Majesty's imperial wine, let me just say a few words."

"Today is a day of relaxation and happiness. Even if you let go of eating and drinking, you must return satisfied. If you don't have too much, just talk, so be it!"

After all, Fangzheng took a big sip from the flagon.

Then he stared fixedly at the jug, and said exaggeratedly: "Good wine! It is indeed the royal wine bestowed by His Majesty, and I feel warm after drinking it."

Fangzheng blushed while speaking.

Nuan Huhu is really not talking nonsense, Emperor Jing usually likes spirits, but this is the wine from Taoyuan County... This sip is a bit too strong.

The people below Fang Zhengyi who didn't know anything about it began to discuss in low voices with joy.

"This is the end, really just say a few words?"

"Jianyehou has a heroic style and is a straightforward person!"

"Yujiu is indeed unusual, his face turns red after taking a sip..."

As for knowing Fang Zhengyi, the old gods are already there.

Eunuch Guo is here, plus your birthday is today, you can take a good shot!

As Fangzheng drank his wine one by one, the banquet began, and the guests moved their chopsticks.

But it didn't take long before someone stood up: "Your Majesty has heard about Jianyehou's deeds a long time ago, and seeing Jianyehou's demeanor today, really..."

As the first person got up, there was a second person who was not far behind.

Countless officials who wanted to cling to the relationship began to line up to flatter.

Fangzheng didn't take it seriously at all and didn't stop him, he just listened quietly and occasionally took a sip of wine.

Although I usually don't bother to listen to these flattery, but it doesn't hurt to be happy today!

Although these people didn't know him, they knew his deeds very well.

As one story after another was told, Fang Zhengyi gradually became a little elated.

Not to mention, it feels good to be praised by the collective once in a while.
