Under the sunset, in the breeze, there are some things that have been deliberately buried and suppressed, inadvertently, growing up little by little......

Chapter 83 Birthday Gift

After dinner, guests from near and far left one after another, and the noisy hall gradually left only dozens of people from the Jiang family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The sky is getting dark, and many lights are lit in the hall for lighting, but more of it is decorative.

Dozens of people sat around the lobby of Jiang Xinju, and a large open space was vacated in the middle, and many opera troupes gathered outside Jiang Xinju, waiting for the performance.

A small coffee table was placed in front of everyone, and the maids and grandmothers who came and went put all kinds of refreshments on the table.

The scene was quite spectacular, although it was not the first time to see such a large-scale banquet in Jiangfu, but now sitting here and feeling such an atmosphere, I still can't help but sigh deeply.

Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, this sentence is the truest portrayal of this era. And I, in just over a month, sat in the "Zhumen".

I don't feel honored, but I feel a little ashamed. How did I get in, what contribution did I make to the development of the world? Since I was just idle, why should I enjoy everything that was luxurious and wasteful in front of me? And why should those people who worked hard not have enough food and clothing?

Perhaps this is the essential reason why I have always insisted on living a simple life. I replaced the original luxurious bed with a simple one, carried away the superfluous things in the house, returned the delicacies from the kitchen one by one, and ate the home-cooked side dishes that I was used to.

I just feel guilty, I feel that I shouldn't have enjoyed all this: I don't just enjoy the Jiang family, but the world, because everything in the Jiang family comes from the vast number of people......

The hand that was resting on his lap was suddenly covered by a big warm hand, and I was startled, and I raised my head, just because I had to sit on Jiang Kuo to his right.

His face was not very good, as if he wanted to ask me something, but when he touched my hand, he frowned and exclaimed, "Why are your hands so cold?"

I smiled, "Isn't it cold?" and tried to pull my hand back.

He stubbornly tightened, and I had to let him pull it.

"What were you thinking?"

I looked down, "Nothing." ”

“……”

The eerie silence was deeply oppressive, and I looked up in confusion, and he was staring at me with his lips pursed tightly, clearly angry.

He gets angry too easily, I always make him angry, and I hang my head in confusion.

"You're thinking about something. The voice of reproach.

Do you want me to tell him that I think the Jiang family is looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and that my stay in the Jiang family is to be in the same stream?

I smiled, "I'm thinking about my parents." ”

He immediately laughed, "Don't worry, your parents are fine." ”

I wondered, "Okay? How do you know?"

He looked away as if he was making a fuss, "It's okay anyway, you don't care how I know." ”

I'm noncommittal, he's just casually saying something perfunctory to me, why should I be so serious.

At this time, Steward Jiang came over and respectfully asked the old couple Jiang for the following matters.

Old Man Jiang waved his hand, "Kuo'er is now eighteen years old, just ask him about everything in the Jiang Mansion, and you don't have to explain it to me." ”

"yes, the kids are older......"

"Brother, you are so blessed, having such a son will be easy in the future......"

Several uncles who were about the same age as Master Jiang echoed the conversation, and they should be brothers of Master Jiang's generation.

Steward Jiang bowed his head unexpectedly, and then came over to ask Jiang Kuo, "Young Master, according to your instructions, there are already a lot of old man's favorite drama gangs waiting outside, but it seems that the ladies have prepared gifts, I don't know whether to receive gifts or watch the play first?"

Jiang Kuo glanced at me when he heard this, "Let's do it together." ”

Steward Jiang was puzzled, "Young Master......" was glared at by Jiang Kuo, and the following words naturally changed to "yes".

Jiang Kuo glanced back at me again, with some reproach in his eyes, as if to say, "It's all because of you."

I was puzzled, but I didn't speak.

A sonorous sound sounded, and several clowns rolled in, making everyone laugh, and the old couple Jiang was quickly attracted by the performance.

At this time, the third lady came over, holding a delicate wallet in her hand, "Kuo'er, this is the purse I started to make last month, and I sewed the mandarin duck playing in the water with a needle and a thread." I know you've been suffering from insomnia lately, so I went to Langzhong and asked for the finest herbs, which have a strong fragrance and have the effect of sleeping well......"

The girl who came forward to add tea gently tugged at my clothes, "Girl, do you want to bring you the painting?"

I looked up and saw that it was Xiaoqiu, and then I remembered the painting I was painting last night, and the ink hadn't dried before I came in, so I handed it to Xiaoqiu to help me dry.

The painting was originally intended to be given to him as a birthday present, but now looking at the scene in front of him, he suddenly hesitated.

He sent someone to bring me pastries at night, put down the young master's shelf, and asked me for a birthday gift...... It's all for another woman, right? So what's the point of me doing this?

Besides, he has those warblers and Yanyan, and he has such a carefully prepared gift, and there is no shortage of me, right?

Tiredness welled up in my heart......

"Forget it, help me get it back. ”

When Xiaoqiu heard this, her tense face smiled, she was already very dissatisfied with Jiang Kuo's attitude towards me, and this morning she knew that I was painting for him and had a lot of complaints, but now she was happy when she heard it, and then went to refill the water for other masters.

After such a while, it was already the eldest lady who was sending him something, it seemed to be some kind of sword, Jiang Kuo checked the sword and put it back in the box, as if he remembered something, Yu Guang glanced at me, and his brows furrowed again, "Okay, I like it very much, thank you, madam." Then he motioned for Steward Jiang to put it away.

Steward Jiang held the sword but didn't leave, "Fourth lady, what about your gift to the young master?"

I was shocked, no, this Jiang steward still expects me to please their master with gifts, I thought he forgot.

The eldest lady and the third lady all looked over with some pride, but fortunately, they were acting at this time, and the old couple Jiang didn't notice this. I was secretly glad in my heart, and remembered that he had just ordered me to look at me while watching the play and receiving gifts, could it be that he knew that I had not prepared a gift for fear that I would be blamed, so he did this?

There were a lot of thoughts in my heart, but they were almost instantaneous, and by the time I was about to say something, Jiang Kuo was already talking.

"I forgot to pick up the gift of the fourth lady, so I accompanied her to get it. He said hello to everyone briefly, and without saying anything, he pulled me up and walked out, and I had to let him go.

Leaving the hustle and bustle behind, a sense of tranquility and well-being comes to you. It was almost dark, the surrounding scenery was a little blurry, and some places were already lit up.

The person in front of him suddenly slowed down and finally stopped. I stopped suspiciously, looked at the back of his head and waited for a long time without seeing him turn around.
