    Daming Butler didn¡¯t know how hard he tried to keep the gift. He only knew how hard he tried to keep the gift in his own home.

    After living together for a long time, the moral bottom line will inevitably be affected by the environment. The master is the master and the housekeeper is the servant. No matter what, your moral bottom line cannot be higher than the master.

    The housekeeper quickly understood what Qin Kan meant.

    "Since those gifts worked so hard to stay in our Ming Dynasty, the old man felt that they must be fulfilled" The housekeeper had a flattering look on his face, just like a traitor translator who persuaded the imperial army to enter the village and rape the flower girl.

    Qin Kan let out an imperceptible "hmm" in his nostrils, picked up the tea cup and continued to sip the tea, but never looked at him again.

    The butler resigned knowingly.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The door of the Duke's Mansion creaked open amidst the silent prayers of the Japanese. The Japanese kneeling outside the door stood up and looked up to the sky with excitement, thanking Amaterasu for his blessing and His Majesty the Emperor's distant telepathy.  Blessings, thanks

    "Move all the boxes outside the door in" The housekeeper waved to the servants in the mansion, and the boxes piled outside were carried away by the servants in a flash.

    Prince Zhiren outside the door became more and more excited. Because of the psychological gap of the cold reception before, now seeing that the Duke's Palace was willing to accept his gift, Prince Zhiren couldn't help but have the urge to cry, and led all the entourage to bow down to the ground.  At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, he bowed his head to the ground.

    "There are so many things! Thank you, Your Majesty the Duke, for your willingness to accept the meager gift from the Japanese vassal. Your Majesty, the distant Emperor, is also sincerely grateful for the goodwill and benevolence of the Ming Dynasty. Please allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude to Your Excellency Ning Guogong on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor"

    Boom!

    After moving the boxes, the servants of the Duke's Mansion mercilessly closed the door again, leaving the stunned Japanese kneeling outside the door. There were no traces of the boxes piled up at the door, and the breeze of early spring was blowing.  Then, everyone shivered for no reason, and a chill that was colder than the spring breeze arose spontaneously.

    "DearHis Royal Highness, this, this person" The attendant opened his mouth in disbelief and stared blankly at the two cold red-painted doors of the Duke's Mansion.

    Prince Zhiren is only fifteen or sixteen years old. This is the first time he has been sent to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy under the order of his father. No matter how mature and steady he is, he is still only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. How can the scheming city be as good as the real one?  Sir, you blinked a few times when you saw this, and your eyes gradually filled with tears.

    Wiping away his tears, Prince Zhiren's face was filled with sorrow and he murmured: "No, it won't happen. My father told me that he said that the Ming Dynasty is a country that is knowledgeable, courteous and gentle. My father will not lie to me."  Yes, there can be no such shameless people in the Ming Dynasty If you wait a little longer, maybe there will be a change"

    "Hai!" All the followers fell to the ground and responded.

    Quietly, an hour passed. After the box was moved into the Duke's Mansion, the door was never opened again. It was always closed tightly. The two brass animal rings on the door stared at them coldly, as if full of emotions.  ridicule.

    Prince Zhiren finally despaired. His heart was filled with grievances and sorrow that could no longer be suppressed. The corners of his mouth shrank and he burst into tears. He pointed at the door of the Duke's Mansion and babbled in Japanese. He didn't know what he was saying, but he was probably swearing.  ¡­

    "Let's go and complain to the officials of the Ministry of Rites! The Ming Dynasty can't bully us like this! Eight!"

    ***************************************************  ****************

    The inner courtyard of Duke Ning¡¯s Mansion.

    The four girls, Du Yan, Jin Liu and Lianyue Lianxing, circled around a pile of boxes in the middle of the yard, making tut-tut sounds.

    "Is this a gift from Japan to our family?" Du Yan curled her lips, her pretty face full of pride, showing her many years of experience. She gently lifted the golden lotus and kicked the box, saying disdainfully: "  The Wonu country has so little etiquette. The boxes for carrying gifts are all very old, and they are all very ordinary camphor wood boxes. They were given by the leader of the country. They are not grand at all, unlike those colleagues in the capital who every day  I send gifts to my door during the New Year, and the box looks like pure rosewood"

    Jin Liu held little Qin Le in his arms, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, but he didn't interrupt and kissed Qin Le's pink little face lovingly.

    Qin Kan smiled and said: "Japan is a small and weak country. During the Warring States Period for more than a hundred years, dozens of daimyo were fighting for territory on the small island, eclipsing the imperial power. The royal family had no soldiers, no power, no money, and their lives were worse than ever.  The beggars are not much better, so being able to collect these gifts is already very sincere."

    Although the gift was obtained by fraud, Qin Kan still spoke his conscience. Generally speaking, Mr. Qin is a relatively upright person, but he is only occasionally wicked

    Du Yan still snorted dissatisfiedly, her attitude was the same as that of the old housekeeper.?Qin Kan almost died in a bloody fight with Japanese pirates on Chongming Island, and everyone in the government had no good impression of the Japanese.

    Opening the box, the four girls' eyes widened immediately. After a moment of silence, the four girls burst out laughing. Little Qin Le was held in her arms by her mother. Seeing her aunt, her mother and the two aunts burst into laughter for some unknown reason, and Qin Le also grinned.  The flowers blossomed with a confused smile.

    "MrMr. Gong, you, it's really embarrassing for you to ask your servants to snatch these rags back" Du Yan laughed so hard.

    Qin Kan was also stunned. He thought that the second-hand goods of the Japanese royal family must be valuable antiques. Unexpectedly, when he opened the box and took a look, he found that the ivory folding fan inside had broken bones, the second-hand Bodhisattva had its edges knocked off, and the second-hand screen was not only damaged.  It was yellow, and there was a hole in the middle. Each gift was so horrible that it looked like they had just ransacked the home of a poor and wealthy family.

    "It's a loss, it's a loss" Qin Kan looked up to the sky with regret and sighed: "It's a big loss to lose my reputation for this piece of junk. Someone, please throw these boxes of junk out of the house for me.  Go out and tell the Japanese prince that our country is upright and selfless, and never accepts gifts from outsiders. Tell him not to do it again"

    "Master, I heard from the housekeeper that the Japanese have left" A maid said while holding back a smile.

    Du Yan wrinkled her nose slightly and hummed: "Forget it, I've snatched them all, and returning them back will ruin my reputation. I think among these gifts, only these boxes of pastries are eye-catching. Are they the ones that smell like cherry blossoms?"  ? Come back, Jin Liu, Lian Yue Lian Xing and I will try it"

    She gently picked up a piece of pink pastry with her hand. Du Yan just brought it close to her mouth when her expression suddenly changed. She threw away the pastry and quickly turned around and vomited. Her face turned blue and she was miserable. Jin Liuhe  Lian Yue Lian Xing was so frightened that her face changed color.

    Qin Kan was also startled. While caressing her back, he picked up a piece of pastry and smelled it. He frowned and said, "Isn't that an exaggeration? Is it really smelly? So, things from Japan don't smell good."  Such a good thing, come on, throw away all these pastries"

    Du Yan covered her mouth and said angrily with a livid face: "No, bury them all, harming people! It's all your fault!"

    A pair of pink fists hit Qin Kan's chest rudely.

    Jin Liu hugged Xiao Qin Le and looked at Du Yan who was vomiting hard. He was stunned for a long time and suddenly thought of something. He quietly curled up the corner of his mouth and curved a beautiful arc

    Facts have proved that there is no free lunch or free gift in the world. There is a price to pay for receiving gifts, even if what you receive is just a pile of rags. A large number of ministers were defeated in the government a few days ago just because they accepted Ning.  Wang Zhuchenhao's gift and Qin Kan's gift from the Japanese cannot be taken lightly. The Japanese emperor smashed pots and sold iron and almost put the iron pots used for cooking in gift boxes. It can be said that what he brought to the Ming Dynasty was all his belongings.  Let Qin Kan snatch it in vain?

    On the morning of the second day, those seeking justice came.

    Zhou Jing, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied Prince Tomohito of Japan to the door. This time Qin Kan finally had no nerve to stop them from the door, so he had to order the housekeeper to invite him into the front hall.

    Zhou Jing's expression has been very calm since he entered the door, with a hint of respect and even awe that is not easy to detect.

    Zhou Jing was a second-class Jinshi in the fourth year of Tianshun. He was born as a Shuji scholar. His father was a famous official in the four dynasties and was given to the prince Shaobao Zhou Xuan. It can be said that he comes from a family of officials, poets and calligraphers, and Zhou Jing is seventy years old this year.

    As the saying goes, it doesn¡¯t matter how young you are if you have ambitions, and it doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s sooner or later when obstacles arise. There is a reason why the seventy-year-old man is so in awe of Qin Kan, who is in his early twenties.

    Qin Kan can be said to be the disaster star of the Ming Dynasty officialdom. He was a feudal lord at a young age, and his bad ideas made the ministers suffer miserably. Counting from Qianyiwei Qianhu, he tricked countless civil servants and eunuchs.  Liu Jin, the traitorous eunuch known to the whole country, died under his scheme. He died with no bones left. In the past few days, three memorials were issued to pull down more than fifty ministers. They were exiled, beheaded, and vegetable markets.  The blood on his mouth has not dried yet.

    Although Zhou Jing is already seventy years old, it is clear that the old man has not lived enough. He needs to spend a beautiful and not short twilight in his old age. When he is old enough, he no longer cares about being shameless, so he treats Qin Kan  There is no pressure to be respectful and reverent.

    In comparison, Prince Zhiren¡¯s face was not very good-looking. He stared at Qin Kan with a bitter and hateful expression, looking like a group of hardworking poor peasants fighting against landlords.

    Qin Kan wore a golden python robe, crossed his legs carelessly, and sipped tea slowly.

    After taking a few sips, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes full of sorrow and hatred staring at him, making Qin Kan's whole body hairy.

    Qin Kan frowned, turned his head and cupped his hands towards Zhou Jing: "Mr. Zhou"

    Zhou Jing hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "I don't dare. How many years have you grown up? I have grown up in front of Mr. Qin."

    Pointing to Prince Zhiren, Qin Kan asked doubtfully: "Did this prince peek at the urine of a good Ming Dynasty woman and get a needle hole? Why are you staring at me? It's like I owe him how much money"

    Before he finished speaking, Qin Kan suddenly paused, and then his face became hot.

    Mr. Qin has a lot of things to do, and he forgets the bad things he has done more quickly. He remembered that yesterday, he seemed to have asked someone to rob the prince's things. Didn't he owe him money?
