Chapter 1187 To Get Rich, You Must First Get Things Done
Two women stepped forward, first curtsied deeply to Xiao Jingye, who was seated in the superior position, and then said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Please have some tea and snacks, Your Excellency!"
"Our mountain dwelling is simple and rustic, please forgive us!"
As he spoke, he walked to the table and placed a cup of tea and some snacks on the table next to Xiao Jingye.
Sitting in the superior position, Xiao Jingye didn't even glance at the two women or the tea and snacks they served. He simply said in a deep voice, "All irrelevant persons, please step back!"
His voice was clearly filled with anger.
Unauthorized persons?
Who are these unrelated individuals?
Feng Jiu glanced at everyone in the room…
The nobleman and his two guards were certainly not considered ordinary people;
Du Feng and Ding Si were brought along by a noble person, so they don't count;
I and my two subordinates still have to serve here and wait for the important person's orders, so it can't be counted.
The only two unrelated people were these two women.
Feng Jiuyuan thought... when serving important people, women are more attentive and their movements are more delicate.
Unexpectedly, this offended the important person.
Feng Jiu figured it out and wanted to slap himself twice!
Without a moment's delay, Feng Jiu quickly stepped forward and chased the two women away!
The two women were driven out, but the smell of perfume lingered in the room for a while.
Feng Jiu smelled the perfumed scent, which he could only call "fragrance," and secretly regretted his actions, feeling even more uneasy.
Feng Jiu feared that the nobleman would dislike the smell and be annoyed by his arrangements, and that this would lead to his anger and punishment.
However, the distinguished guest did not dwell on this matter further. Instead, he turned to Ding Si and instructed him, "Ding Si, go outside the courtyard gate and look back at the mountain path we came from. See if Hou Gui has arrived yet."
Ding Si is now willing to do things according to the instructions of the noble person.
The more instructions a benefactor gives you, the more it shows that the benefactor values you and considers you one of their own.
Ding Si hurriedly agreed, then turned and quickly left the house and the courtyard. Standing outside the gate, he craned his neck to look back at the mountain path he had come from...
Before long, Ding Si returned.
Upon entering the room, Ding Si bowed to Xiao Jingye and said, "Reporting to Your Excellency, I have looked into the distance but have not yet seen the figure of Deputy Commander Hou Gui!"
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu exchanged a glance...
Of course, Ding Si couldn't see Hou Gui. Hou Gui was still dizzy in the space, so how could Ding Si possibly see him!
Xiao Jingye's upper face was covered by a mask, while the lower half of his face remained unchanged.
However, Feng Jiu and his two subordinates, one fat and one thin, could sense that... the nobleman was enraged!
Standing beside Xiao Jingye, Xiao Jingyu stepped forward at the opportune moment, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty... please calm your anger!"
We went into the mountains by horse-drawn carriage, so we arrived very quickly.
Deputy Commander Hou Guihou injured his leg and needed several people to carry him on foot in shifts. It seems that it will take them some time to get here!
Please be patient, Master!
"This is really a mistake!"
Xiao Jingye said, his tone revealing his dissatisfaction with Hou Gui.
Feng Jiu made a mistake by having the two women who served him come here to serve tea and snacks.
At this moment, Feng Jiu was eager to show off and to please the important person in front of him.
Seeing that His Highness Prince Yi was angry because Hou Gui was late, wasn't this a perfect opportunity for me to show off?
So Feng Jiu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Please calm your anger, sir!"
Since Vice Commander Hou Gui is so late in arriving, could you please instruct us to serve him valiantly?
Xiao Jingye turned to look at Feng Jiu, but didn't speak immediately, as if he was hesitating.
However, seeing this hesitation in Feng Jiu's eyes meant that he saw his own opportunity!
Feng Jiu thought that if he could get things done for the nobleman before Hou Gui arrived, he would be considered a good person in the nobleman's heart!
My future, and the riches and honors of tomorrow, are just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Feng Jiu prayed from the bottom of his heart that Hou Gui wouldn't arrive too quickly, and that... uh... he could fall again, and it would be even better if he was more seriously injured!
I can't say it out loud when I'm thinking this.
What Feng Jiu actually said was... "Please, sir, do not be angry with Vice Commander Hou!"
Deputy Commander Hou arrived late because he was injured and had no other choice!
If I may be so bold as to ask what brings you here, esteemed guest?
"May I have permission to do this?"
Xiao Jingye was waiting for these words.
After looking at Feng Jiu for a long time, Xiao Jingye finally spoke, "Minister Deng told me that you are very reliable and handle matters steadily."
Seeing you today, I can confirm your commendable loyalty!
"Since that's the case... since you know the situation at the mine better, then we won't wait for Hou Gui!"
Xiao Jingye spoke as if he had made up his mind.
Hearing Xiao Jingye's words, Feng Jiu bowed even lower...
Firstly, this gesture can express one's respect for the prince;
Furthermore, it can also conceal the uncontrollable upward curve of one's lips.
The saying "It's easy to get things done if you have connections in the court" is absolutely true!
He sent his own younger sister to the Vice Minister's residence as a concubine, and the Vice Minister then put his name on the prince's lips!
Isn't this it? My chance to make it big has come right here!
Despite his excitement, Feng Jiu knew that if he wanted to rise in rank, he first had to complete the tasks that the prince had instructed him to do!
