"Commander of the Vanguard Battalion..."
Fang Zhengyi was standing at the door grinning from ear to ear, even though he was making fun of himself it was really fun!
Every time he greeted a guest, after exchanging a few words with Fang Zhengyi at the door, his face would instantly turn as dark as the bottom of a pot after he stepped over the threshold.
Fang Zhengyi was still welcoming him when his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey! Lord Ni, why are you here just now? Welcome! You are most welcome!"
Ni Chong also smiled and bowed in return: "How can I not come for such a big event? My son can make such progress now, all thanks to the guidance of Lord Fang."
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome!”
Ni Chong turned around and said to the servant behind him, "Come on, take the gift to Lord Fang."
Fang Zheng raised his hand and said, "Hey! No need to trouble Master Ni, I have arranged for someone to come and carry it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant jumped out from behind Fang Zheng, took the gift list and took away a small box of gifts.
Then, not far from Ni Chong, he weakly read out, "The cabinet scholar, Ni Chong, the Lord Ni, gave me a jade ruyi and silver...only one hundred taels."
His voice was neither loud nor soft, just loud enough to reach the dining tables of the people outside the palace.
The people pointed and talked, with contempt and smiles in their eyes.
"This Lord Fang really doesn't live up to his reputation. How fucking greedy is he? How much silver do you think he collects in a day?"
"Who knows? I thought he was an honest official. Oh..."

"Keep your voice down so no one can hear you. Eat quickly. This meal is not cheap. If I had known it would cost money, I wouldn't have come!"
"Don't worry, I brought lotus leaves with me and will pack them up later..."
only?
Only one hundred taels?!
Ni Chong opened his mouth wide, and his soul was wandering away for a moment... He could still hear the loud howling from inside the princess's mansion and the whispers of the people behind him.
"Three hundred taels of silver... five hundred taels... five hundred taels! Lord Chen gave me seven hundred taels of silver!!!"
As Ni Chong listened, his head grew bigger and he looked at Fang Zhengyi awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
Who knew that the princess's full moon banquet would be so spectacular! Fang Zhengyi, are you fucking obsessed with money?
"Master Fang, this..."
Fang Zhengyi said with a hint of displeasure: "Hey, it's okay to give a small gift. Lord Ni is an honest official, so it's understandable that his family is not well off. Please come in! The vegetarian food is ready."
"Vegetarian? I..."
