Chapter 2161 Rejection
With Fan Ruyin adding fuel to the fire and tirelessly fanning the flames, the Mo family, a middle-class family in the provincial capital, finally couldn't hold back and jumped out.
Of course, Master Mo did not dare to go directly to Shao Yunduan, but found a more familiar Gongcao. This Gongcao surnamed Mi used to work in the prefectural government. After Shao Yunduan came, he cleaned up the situation, dismissed some people, and kept some people. This Gongcao happened to be kept as well.
He is an honest man who does his job conscientiously.
The Mo family easily got in touch with him.
When he heard that Mr. Mo just wanted him to help introduce him, he wanted to meet Lord Shao, show his loyalty, and offer Lord Shao a sum of property. Mi Gongcao felt that he could help.
This is a good thing for all three parties. Mr. Mo has shown his loyalty to Lord Shao, and more people will definitely follow suit. Lord Shao is in need of people, so he naturally hopes for this. And Mr. Mo has shown his loyalty. At least in this Huaixi Province, how can Lord Shao not give him benefits when doing business? He will definitely give it to him!
What about himself? For helping him, Master Mo gave him 100 taels of silver, two paintings and calligraphy by famous artists of the previous dynasty, and several rolls of fine Hangzhou silk and brocade.
This gift is quite valuable.
So, when he met Shao Yunduan under the pretext of reporting official business, he took the opportunity to tell him about this matter.
Shao Yunduan was a little surprised, but after a little thought, he understood. Whether it was the Mo family or any other family, there would be many who wanted to surrender and show their loyalty at this time.
Just as Mi Gongcao guessed, Shao Yunduan would naturally not refuse such a thing.
He nodded readily and ordered Mi Gongcao to bring the master of the Mo family to see him the next day.
If you want to meet someone, you should accept the gift. If you don't accept it, the person will not feel at ease. You should also say what you need to say. You can do favors, but you can't even think about using it to benefit yourself at the expense of the public.
Mr. Mo was so happy that he dressed neatly the next morning, holding gifts, and went to the government office in a carriage.
When Shao Yunduan met him in the study, his attitude was quite gentle.
Mr. Mo was very nervous at first, but gradually he relaxed and smiled and flattered us in various ways.
Even though Shao Yunduan was indifferent by nature and used to this kind of communication between officials, he had to admit that everyone really liked to hear nice words! Hearing them made people feel happy.
Fortunately, he has always been restrained and has a calm and clear mind. Being in a good mood is one thing, but it is limited to spiritual happiness.
For example, everyone loves priceless, exquisite treasures, antiques and curios. When seeing them, people will definitely love them. However, some people will become greedy and want to possess them. Some crazy ones will even want to find ways and means to get them.
Some people simply appreciate it.
Master Mo was delighted to see that Master Shao had accepted his kindness and gifts. He flattered him again and then happily said goodbye and left.
Of course, he wouldn't offer his daughter to her the first time they met; things like this had to be done slowly.
With a good start, why worry about the future?
Two days later, Master Mo asked for an audience again, and he seemed much calmer. He also took the opportunity to express his feelings, expressing his respect and admiration for Shao Yunduan. He also said that his daughter also admired Master Shao very much and was willing to serve him, even if it was just to serve tea and water...
Shao Yunduan's expression immediately changed, and he politely refused in a bad tone, cutting off Mr. Mo's thoughts.
