Chapter 157: Gift-giving
Looking at Wang Cang, who had returned early, Wang Xu was stunned, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
Wang Cang didn't even have the time to call for pouring tea, so he grabbed her teacup and took a sip, "Quickly dismantle this stove, I want to send it to the palace immediately, I have to leave immediately!" ”
Dismantling the furnace? Wang Xu was a little confused. But Bao'er jumped forward to offer treasure, "Dad, come and see my little rabbit." Sister Mu made it for me, it's delicious! ”
Nianfu made him a total of four little rabbits, he ate one, and the remaining three were reluctant to eat, and they were placed there to live a family. It is also clearly named Daddy Rabbit, Rabbit Niang and Rabbit Baoer.
Wang Cang touched his son's head, but he didn't have time to listen to him talk about the rabbit's family, "The little rabbit is so cute, but Daddy has something serious to do now, and Daddy will play with you when he comes back in the evening." ”
The nurse stepped forward to hug Bao'er with interest, and Wang Cang hurried up to tell Wang Xu, "Last night, the little eunuch on duty in the palace was careless when he lit a brazier to keep warm, and he was poisoned by charcoal. This incident caused the emperor not to sleep well at night, and as soon as the dynasty dispersed, he summoned the adults of Qin Tianjian to ask, saying that it was to look at the stars, and this winter may be colder than in previous years. When the emperor heard this, his mood was even worse. It's just winter like this, and you'll have to pay it back in the future? Seeing that the emperor was worried, I remembered this that Brother Kang sent us, and after mentioning it slightly, the emperor was interested and wanted to take a look. I originally sent someone to ask Brother Kang to send one quickly, but Bisheng said that he and Sister Mu were not at home, not even the housekeeper......"
"It's supposed to be a gift." The clever Wang Xu has already understood. Busy said, "Early in the morning, I sent our family the fruit of tomorrow's sacrifice, and we must be busy outside." Then dismantle our stove first and show it to the emperor, and if you can, you can also make a living for his family. Sister Mu'er's business is yellow, and she must be worried now. ”
"It's not done well, why is it yellow?" Wang Cang waited for the people to dismantle the stove while listening to Xu's details.
When he left the furnace, what to say, he already had a basic score in his heart.

Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Ouyang Kang's gift was also delivered early in the morning. Originally, he didn't plan to give this gift. It's not a good thing. It's okay to send Wang Cangzhi and his ilk, but is it a bit suspicious to send it to the Hou Mansion on a special trip?
But the blessing is mainly sent, "The thickness of the thing is second, the main thing is a heart." You didn't give it to Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou. It's just for a classmate. It's just that it's simpler, and what are you afraid of? ”
Zhong Shan couldn't agree more. He volunteered to give it to him.
It happened that Guan Yaozu was grinding with his mother at home to help Ouyang Kang repair the garden, and Mrs. Guan was originally a little unhappy, thinking that Ouyang Kang was too good at taking advantage. Although he sent the jade screen back, he could let them repair the garden, and coaxed his stupid son to take the lead, isn't this too shrewd?
But Guan Yaozu was not happy that his good friend would be said like this, "This matter was not brought up by Ah Kang, but by Mr. Su." ”
"Then how do you know that the master and apprentice of the Lu Dao family have not been audited behind their backs?"
"Akon is not like that. Besides, his garden was broken and leaking on all sides, and it was indeed time to repair it. Mother, I agreed in public, if our family doesn't take the lead now, what can he do later? ”
"Then don't do it. Didn't you say that his master also arranged for someone to do it? The elders over there haven't moved yet, why are you panicking? ”
was in a stalemate, when Ouyang Kang sent someone to deliver something. Guan Gongzi suddenly felt that his good brother had given him a long face again, and immediately called someone in.
Zhong Shan also grew up in the family of the official eunuchs, and he has been in the official slave house for so many years, and he is used to looking at people's eyes, and he can guess what the situation is in two moments, and he stepped forward to reply respectfully.
“…… These pastries prepared by our young master were not intended to be given away, for fear of being laughed at and generous. But he thought that if it weren't for these elders and friends to take care of him, he wouldn't know what he would be like now. Therefore, although the gift is cold, I still send the small one to send things to express my young master's thoughts. If Mrs. allows, if you are willing to take these things from a distance and pay respect, it will be regarded as my young master who has thanked the ancestors of the mansion for taking care of him, and is willing to let the prince of your mansion make friends with him. ”
Listen to it! Guan Yaozu looked at the old lady again, and her mouth was so pouting that she could hang an oil pot.
Mrs. Guan also moved slightly in her heart when she heard this, the courtesy was light and affectionate, and it was not these things that were rare, but the intentions of others. But thinking about the cost of repairing the house, Mrs. Guan was stingy again, "Thank you for thinking about us, by the way, is there any movement in your family's house repair?" ”
Looking at her expression, Zhong Shan's mind turned sharply, and he hurriedly said, "My young master asked me to come, and I have something I want to explain." It was the last time when he was at the banquet, Mr. Su once mentioned that he wanted your sons to help repair the house, and our young master thought about it and felt that it was really inappropriate. None of your classmates have come out of the ranks, but they still rely on their fathers and brothers to provide for them, and let them contribute funds, isn't it troublesome for your fathers and brothers? This is absolutely impossible, so I have come to say that this matter might as well be left at that. ”
"Who said it would be done?"
Guan Yaozu yelled more and more at the top of his neck, and Mrs. Guan frowned, and Mrs. Guan suddenly came in, "I can't give up." Even if they are still young, they are all dignified men, how can there be a reason that what they say in public does not count? Your little steward went back and told your young master that you don't have to be polite about this little thing, since you are classmates and friends, you should help each other. ”
Zhong Shan's mission was achieved, and he thanked and retreated.
Mrs. Guan got up to greet her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Guan sat down and said unceremoniously, "I have heard all your words, although your considerations are reasonable, but don't forget, don't bully the young and poor." Although the eldest young master of the Ouyang family is not powerful at the moment, he is a good boy who is filial and polite. Let's just help him, what can we do? ”
Guan Yaozu was so happy that he rushed over and kissed his grandmother's wrinkled old face, "Xie Lu, Grandma!" ”
Mrs. Guan had no choice but to respond, but she pouted slightly in her heart, she would be a good person now, who was the one who prevented her from having too much contact with Ouyang Kang before? One set at this time, another set at that time, isn't it just to show that you are old and knowledgeable everywhere? I especially want to please my grandson. Hmph, who can't see that?
But since she agreed, Mrs. Guan had to arrange it, and the director who was a little displeased to go back to the room, but the mother of the housekeeper who had followed her for many years stepped forward and replied, "Madam, you see, the festival gift sent by Uncle Ouyang is really very good, and the cooks in our family may not be able to have such skills." A motherless child, alone outside, can still carefully handle such a courtesy. It's not easy. ”
Take a look at it. Mrs. Guan's heart was half smoothed, and then she thought about Zhong Shan's words, and thought about Ouyang Kang, especially when she thought that he had no mother. Mrs. Guan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.
There is no woman who is not afraid of her husband's empathy. There is no woman who is not afraid of her children being abused by their stepmothers. If it weren't for the fear of parting with Guan Tianxiao for a long time. Get out the vixen, how could Mrs. Guan be with her husband after so many years of infamy? Fortunately, she was alive and finally gave birth to a son. also kept a good time for the family to be rich and prosperous. But what about Ouyang Kang? Think about his mother, who has a heart to protect her children but is separated from yin and yang......
The housekeeper's mother didn't say much, but as soon as Mrs. Zhongguan was the softest place in her mother's heart, she didn't hesitate anymore, "Go and find the masons who repaired our family's house in the first place." Since you have agreed, you must repair the house with others. How much to spend is secondary, it must be made sturdy. ”
The housekeeper's mother responded, and came out to nod and smile at Guan Yaozu, who was hiding on the side, signaling that the matter was done. Guan Gongzi was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to hold the old face of the housekeeper's mother and kiss it again.
But the housekeeper's mother was busy hiding, didn't she see the old lady's face of saliva? She couldn't afford to be thankful like that.
But seriously speaking, helping people repair houses is also a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good, and sooner or later this family belongs to Guan Yaozu, so why can't he spend money to do some good deeds?
In this way, Ouyang Kang does not need to go out in person for these two gifts, but Su Cheng is an elder, and his gift must be sent by Ouyang Kang in person.
Seeing that he sent four kinds of snacks with full portions, Du Chuan, who was in charge of the house, was very satisfied.
Su Cheng will not be polite, he grabbed one of the same, and tasted it first, "I just didn't eat enough in the morning, so I will make up for it." ”
Needless to say, tofu has already tried the level of Nenfu. The bean paste has a thin skin and a large filling, and when you bite into it, it is full of fried and soft red bean paste, which is extremely sweet. The fried dumplings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but what Su Cheng likes especially is the glutinous rice cake.
It doesn't taste like ordinary glutinous rice cakes that are too sticky and glutinous to digest, as if they were mixed with something else, and the taste is a little more strong in the glutinous, especially the many chopped sauerkraut in it, which relieves the greasy while eating.
Their family now also has a big stove of Ouyang Kang's filial piety, Su Cheng ate three glutinous rice cakes in a row and still couldn't enjoy it, and was about to reach out to grab the fourth, Du Chuan was not happy. That's too gluttonous, isn't it? Excuse me?
Before he was about to say a few words, someone outside the door suddenly asked, "What are you eating?" I smelled the fragrance from afar. ”
This voice is really good, even people like Ouyang Kang who don't know much about the style have a feeling that their bones are half crispy, and when they turn their heads to look, their eyes are fixed.
Because it was cold, the man wore a mink cloak, which was as black as pure ink, without the slightest drop of snow, and was of the highest quality, which also made his palm-sized white little face extremely exquisite.
As soon as he walked into this warm spring-like room, he took off his cloak very casually, revealing a delicate coat of mugwort green, navy blue pants underneath, and an autumn-colored ribbon tightly tied around his waist. Although there is no makeup, it is beautiful. Even if he stood in front of the handsome and extraordinary Ouyang Kang, he would not be too inferior.
Who is this?
(I've had a cold for several days, and I haven't taken care of it, and I want to defeat it with immunity, but I can't do it with this sad cup's physique!) Always have an uncomfortable throat and can't sleep well at night...... So I went to the doctor today, and as soon as I took the medicine, I started to get confused. I worked hard to code 2 chapters while I was quiet at night.,It's really to the limit.,If you go down again.,It's probably nonsense.。 Hey, I originally wanted to add more Lala Pink to the list, but I was really powerless. I can only hope that I will get better soon and repay my debts as soon as possible...... Oh, it's even the well-behaved Yang Bailao...... (To be continued......)
