Wang Mang was sitting on the carriage going home in a comfortable mood. At this moment, his mood was not as good as it could be, and he could only hum a little tune to celebrate his good mood.

Wang Mang also knew that although his operation was very good, it would definitely offend others.

After all, the credit for suppressing bandits this time is not his alone, but also belongs to Chen Xian and Zhu Bo.

Chen Xian is easy to handle. He is Wang Yin's official. As long as he is willing to say a few more good things about Chen Xian in front of Wang Yin, Chen Xian will not suffer any loss.

But Zhu Bo is different.

Zhu Bo is from the imperial censor's side. Even the great Sima Wang Yin, who is the head of the officials, cannot intervene to reward the subordinate officials under the censor.

After all, the imperial censor is also one of the three princes, and he is very concerned about face.

Therefore, at this moment, Wang Mang couldn't help but worry about offending Zhu Bo.

"Forget it, forget it, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. Maybe one day we can repair the relationship."

Now that things are like this, Wang Mang naturally won't dwell on this matter. He simply doesn't think about it anymore. It's more important to be happy.

But Wang Mang still ordered the servant beside him, "Go and get to know Zhu Bo, the censor Zhongcheng."

When the servant heard Wang Mang's instructions outside the carriage, he immediately replied and took Wang Mang's instructions to heart.

When Wang Mang returned to his house, he saw the movement in front of the house next door. Wang Mang asked again: "Who is the owner of this house?"

The servant replied: "Sir, the master of this house is named Zhao."

Wang Mang recalled that in his memory, there should be no dignitary named Zhao in the current government and the public.

However, in line with the principle of being polite to many people and not being offended, Wang Mang added: "Prepare a gift, I want to visit my new neighbor."

After hearing what Wang Mang said, the servant immediately prepared and brought out the gifts Wang Mang had ordered.

Wang Mang checked the status of the gift and felt that it was quite decent, and then ordered: "Take my name to the neighboring house to visit."

The servant replied: "Here."

Then he took Wang Mang's famous assassin to the neighboring mansion.

In ancient times, the process of visiting someone's home was the same as today's visit to important people. You must inform the other person in advance and make an appointment. It is very impolite to go directly to someone's home.

Therefore, even if he is a neighbor and even if he is giving gifts to others, Wang Mang still abides by etiquette, first handing over the name, and then waiting for the host's response before going to the door.

Wang Mang's servant brought Wang Mang's name badge to the door of the neighboring mansion, explained his purpose, and handed Wang Mang's name badge to the neighbor's housekeeper.

After the steward of the neighboring mansion received Wang Mang's famous assassination, he did not dare to neglect it and immediately turned around and entered the middle courtyard to report to the master of the mansion.

Zhao Lin, who was doing nothing in the house, heard the housekeeper report that someone had handed over a famous assassin and was about to visit him. Zhao Lin suddenly got up.

Since moving to Xuanpingli, the living conditions have indeed been greatly improved, and he has good food and clothing every day, but he has no friends here, which also makes Zhao Lin feel a big gap.

Now when he suddenly heard that someone was going to visit him with a famous assassin, Zhao Lin suddenly became excited.

But after he took the name card from the butler and saw the series of titles and names on the name card, Zhao Lin became uneasy again.

Zhao Lin felt guilty and asked: "Are you really the famous assassin of Captain Wang Mang of Shesheng School?"

The housekeeper replied: "Sir, it's absolutely true. The captain is still waiting in front of the house."

When Zhao Lin heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore and immediately ordered the housekeeper to come to the house to greet him.

Wang Mang stood in front of his neighbor's house with his servant holding gifts. He looked at the word "Zhao Zhai" on the house and recalled the message the servant had just told him.

The servant said that the residence here was the residence of Zhao’s father, the emperor’s favorite concubine.

Wang Mang is thinking about Zhao’s beloved concubine? Isn’t that Zhao Feiyan?

Is this really Zhao Feiyan’s father’s house? Is it really such a coincidence? Did Liu Ao do it on purpose?

Thinking of Zhao Feiyan's honor and favor during the emperor's era, Wang Mang couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. The Zhao family was really lucky!

Wang Mang couldn't help but feel a little more excited at the moment. While he was still thinking about this problem, Zhao Feiyan's father, Zhao Lin, had already arrived at the door of the house to greet him.

When Wang Mang saw the hosts coming out to greet them, Wang Mang was flattered. You must know that in ancient times, unless the status was particularly noble or there was a big gap between the two statuses, it was almost impossible for one of the hosts to come to the door to greet the guests in person.<

/p>

Wang Mang hurriedly bowed and said, "I am meeting Mr. Zhao. I am personally welcomed by Mr. Zhao. I am too embarrassed to accept it."

When Zhao Lin saw Wang Mang's humble and courteous behavior, he also responded excitedly: "General, you are too modest. Please come into the mansion quickly and have a talk."

Although Zhao Lin does not come from a noble family, the basic etiquette is still in place. After all, Zhao Feiyan was also a singer in Princess Yang's house. As Zhao Feiyan's father, he naturally has to interact with the nobles in the princess's house.<

/p>

Therefore, over time, he will also know a lot of etiquette for greeting noble people.

Under Zhao Lin's warm reception, Wang Mang entered Zhao Lin's house.

Wang Mang looked at the scenery in Zhao Lin's house and immediately praised: "It is a blessing to have Mr. Zhao as the master of this house. There is a spring breeze everywhere in the courtyard, which shows that Mr. Zhao's virtue is very important."

Zhao Lin was so happy when he heard Wang Mang's beautiful words. He didn't expect that the first person to visit him not only had a high official position, but was also so humble and able to speak. It was really great.

Zhao Lin replied: "The general is overly praised. The general has come to make our courtyard shine, and the spring breeze in the house also comes because of the general."

Wang Mang and Zhao Lin, host and guest, exchanged greetings for a few words before they walked to the front hall of Zhao Lin's house and sat down as host and guest.

Wang Mang said to Zhao Lin: "I wonder when Zhao Jun will move into the house? I was unable to congratulate Zhao Jun on his move in time, but I hope Zhao Jun will pay tribute to you."

Zhao Lin knew who Wang Mang was only after he knew that the person visiting him was Wang Mang.

Wang Mang was the famous young general who quelled the chaos in Yingchuan during this period and wiped out the Shen thieves!

Zhao Lin said: "The general's words are serious. When the general was far away in Yingchuan to suppress the bandits with the emperor's orders, I just moved into this hospital."

When Wang Mang heard this, he sighed, "If this thief hadn't caused trouble, I wouldn't have missed the joy of Zhao Jun's move. This is just a small thought on my part. I congratulate Zhao Jun on his move, and I hope you won't dislike it."

Wang Mang clapped his hands and asked his servants to come in with gifts for Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin thanked Wang Mang for the gift, "Thank you, General, for the generous gift."

Then the housekeeper next to Zhao Lin came over to accept the gift from Wang Mang's servant.

Wang Mang and Zhao Lin chatted for a long time. Wang Mang made Zhao Lin feel very good. Zhao Lin felt that Wang Mang was not only humble and polite, but also very considerate. Such a good neighbor really moved Zhao Lin from the bottom of his heart.

And Wang Mang also feels that Zhao Linren is not bad, has no ambition, and is still a decent person. He just likes petty gains, but this hobby is definitely a good thing for Wang Mang.

As long as I can always give small gifts to others and give them a little more face in their daily interactions, when the Zhao family officially rises in Liu Ao's dynasty in the future, they will not completely turn to Chun Yuchang to impress themselves.

Medicine.

After all, when Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede entered the palace, they had more or less the shadow of Chun Yuchang, and according to the history that Wang Mang knew, Chun Yuchang had to put in a lot of effort when Zhao Feiyan was able to be granted the title of empress.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, Wang Mang felt that it was better to establish a good neighborly relationship with Zhao Lin, lest he inexplicably gain an enemy in the future.

Although the level of this enemy is not very good, it is still better not to have such an enemy.

After all, Wang Mang's current main character is harmless to humans and animals, humble and polite. With many friends, this character is naturally solid, and it is not easy to collapse the character.
