Old Han's family was the Xiang family's loyal servants. Even when the Xiang family had fallen, this family of three had never abandoned their little master and fled.
Not only did she still take care of him with all her heart, but she also handled the funeral of her former father.
Old Han's family was dutiful, loyal, and had always protected this unstable Xiang clan.
Xiang Yu had been watching all of this.
Now that he had made a meteoric rise and become the new aristocrat of the dynasty, the Marquis Champion and the Defender General, how could he forget the old Han family?
Under Xiang Yu's strong request, Old Han and his wife began to enjoy themselves. There were as many as ten maids and servants serving them.
Unfortunately, this old couple had a hard life. They had not even enjoyed such a life for two days before they shouted that they could not take it anymore and were about to fall ill from boredom. Helpless, Xiang Yu could only let the couple manage the garden.
However, the back garden of the Marquis of Champion's estate was far larger than the original ten Xiang estates.
For this reason, Xiang Yu sent another 20 gardeners to assist the old couple in managing the place.
Unfortunately, the old couple were not the ones in charge of the backyard. The next day, someone rushed in to report that Old Han had dug up the priceless Black Radiance Demon and planted some vegetables…
"As long as the old couple is happy." Xiangyu gave a bitter laugh and instructed the gardeners.
It was unknown which gardener had spoken, but Old Han and his wife soon found out how precious the black flowers they had uprooted were.
The husband and wife ran to Xiang Yu and wept bitterly to apologize. No matter what, they were no longer willing to manage the garden.
After that, Xiang Yu arranged for the couple to manage the stable.
Soon, the servants in the stable came crying, saying that Old Han and his wife were worried about the fine rice, soybeans, and fresh meat. They didn't want the precious horses to waste the food.
Xiang Yu had no choice but to transfer the couple out again and let the old couple continue to take care of her daily life.
This time, he finally found the right direction. The old couple began to serve their young master like before.
As for their son, Ada, he was very clever. No matter what he learned, he could quickly master it. Moreover, he was hardworking and warm-hearted.
Xiang Yu thought about it again and again and decided to train him to become the chief butler of her residence.
After learning from the butler of the Cheng residence for a day, this kid had become quite capable.
"Lord Marquis, Ada is really smart, sensible, and diligent. You've really picked up a treasure. I, Old Cheng, can guarantee that in less than three years, he will definitely be competent for all the affairs of your manor.”
"Haha, you taught me well.”When Xiangyu heard the old butler praise Ada, she smiled and complimented,""When this matter is settled, I'll get Ada to give you a big gift to repay your teachings.”
"Haha, this old man is satisfied with Lord Marquis 'words.”The old butler waved his hand and then said seriously,"Lord Marquis, you…don't have any family members, right? I mean, when the female guests come, who will receive them in your…residence?”
After the old housekeeper's reminder, Xiang Yu realized that there were really no women in her residence to receive those female guests.
The old butler was an experienced old fox after all. He thought for a moment and said with a smile,"How about this, Lord Marquis. Tonight, bring some gifts and go to the Cheng Manor, Yuchi Manor, or Qin Manor…make a trip to them all and ask the wives of the marquises…in any case, you're their nephew of the younger generation, so letting them entertain you on your behalf will show that Lord Marquis has a wide network and won't neglect those female guests.”
Xiangyu listened to the old butler's idea and thought for a moment before finally nodding.""Alright, I'll do it tonight."
That night, Xiang Yu left the manor and prepared a carriage full of gifts. She visited the Cheng Manor, Yuchi Manor, Qin Manor…and Wei Zheng's manor one by one.
"Haha, this kid is really cunning. We were originally guests, but now we've become half the host. At that time, we'll have to entertain his guests.”
"The person who gave him this idea must be an expert. "In this way, after this banquet, we will truly become this kid's elders. If anyone dares to have designs on him again, they will have to think about us old fellows…"
"I say, Yuchi, you're still not happy to be this kid's elder? It would be your honor."
"Haha, that's right. This kid's future achievements will definitely be above ours. When that time comes, we will be proud to say that we are this kid's elders.”
In the Heavenly Policy Prefecture, the Eastern Crown Prince Li Shimin was sulking. He hadn't changed the memorial in a long time.
The young eunuchs serving him were all trembling in fear, afraid that they would anger the newly promoted Crown Prince if they were careless.
At this moment, a graceful and elegant beautiful woman carried a food box and walked in accompanied by a few palace maids.
The clever eunuch was just about to pay his respects when the graceful young woman waved her hand at him.
Soon, the eunuchs and the maids left.
After everyone left, the beautiful young woman gently walked over and leaned against her husband."Erlang, who are you angry at?”
Li Er's expression changed and he laughed at himself. He then gently wrapped his arms around his wife's waist and said,"Who else could it be? Of course, it was Xiang Yu. He was going to hold a housewarming party and invited everyone, but he had forgotten about his husband. Guanyin maid, does this kid need a beating?”
"Furthermore, he even invited the Cheng Manor, Qin Manor…and Wei Manor's wives to be his bride's guests. The person this kid should hire the most is my Guanyin maid. You alone can be compared to those madams.”
Crown Princess Zhangsun pursed her lips into a smile." Alright, Erlang. It's said that a prime minister's stomach can hold a boat. You're the crown prince of the Eastern Palace now, and you'll be the emperor of the world in the future. Your stomach has to hold up the entire world. How can you be angry with a little guy?"”
Li Er shook his head and smiled bitterly." I really can't accept this. These days, I've treated this kid as well as my own son." But this kid actually forgot about me at such a big banquet. How could I not be angry?”
Zhangsun looked at her husband's sulky expression and instantly burst into laughter."Erlang, you look just like a child from ten years ago. I haven't seen you so sour in many years.”
"Ahem…Guanyin, stop laughing. You're the smartest. Help me think of a way to teach this kid a lesson and help me vent my anger.”Li Huan hugged his wife's waist and begged.
Zhangsun smiled for a moment and then comforted,""Erlang, haven't you heard that the more important a person is, the more the invitation card has to be placed at the end to show respect?”
Li Er's expression froze as he said," Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Wei Manor, in the study.
After Xiang Yu told him his purpose for coming, Wei Zheng agreed to his request without hesitation.
"Oh right, kid, did you forget that there's someone you didn't invite?”Wei Zheng asked with a faint smile.
"Oh? Probably not. I even invited the deputy general guarding the city gate. How could I have missed anything? If you're talking about Hou Junji and the others, then I really didn't invite them.”Xiangyu said resolutely.
"What about the Eastern Palace and the Crown Princess?”Wei Zheng stroked his beard and looked at Xiang Yu, who suddenly came to her senses."Kid, quickly think of a way to make up for it.”
"This…I really forgot. Sir, you are the most cunning…You have a military strategy in your heart. Please teach me how to make up for it.”Xiangyu pleads with a bitter smile.
