Chapter 29: The Gift

"By the way, how did you meet Little Master Qin today?" Only then did Chen remember this stubble and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"I met on Dongsheng Street, Brother Qin happened to have something to do." Wang Jindao.

"Did you see Jiang Gongzi? He's all right? Chen said with concern.

"Well, I see, he's in good health, and he's invited us to eat together. Mother, let's sort this thing out first, there are a lot of miscellaneous things! Wang Jin was afraid that she would continue to ask, and it would be difficult for her to tell the truth, so she hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Oh, oh, I'll see, it's not all bought." Chen then shifted his attention to the bags, first gathered the bits and pieces of needles and threads into the dustpan where these things were usually placed, and then turned out a few feet of plain cotton cloth, and put them at home to sew some socks and handkerchiefs, as well as a bunch of rags, which must have been the leftovers that Wang Jin asked for from the cloth village. Because of the bright colors and a lot of silk cloth, a lot of things can be poured out of the patchwork. Chen took out a box of jade crumbs and flour fat from a pot-bellied porcelain cup and handed it to Wang Jin. Wang Jin shook his head and said, "Mother, you can keep it for yourself, I'm still young, where can I wipe this." Seeing that Chen was still unmoved, she said, "Besides, when I bought it in the store, I specially selected the one that suits you, and if I use it, it will be bad on my face!" ”

Hearing Wang Jin say this, Chen had no choice but to put away the things by himself first, but he felt a little sad in his heart. In the past, although Wang Jin didn't like to wipe these, she would keep them every time she bought them, but now she just doesn't want to spend more money. She secretly reminded herself that she should cook more delicious food on weekdays to raise her daughter white and tender, even if she doesn't use facial fat, she is no worse than others.

Then he took out the paper, pen and ink ingots that Wang Mu bought, as well as several old books, a few toys for Wang Tang and a bag of snacks.

After packing all these up, everyone found that there was still a bag left, and they couldn't help but look at each other and look at the bag curiously.

Chen Shi wondered: "What's in this bag, all the things you want to buy are here?" ”

Wang Jin's first reaction was Jiang Qingliu, and Wang Mu on the side also guessed it, and he said to Chen: "Probably sent by Brother Jiang." ”

"Jiang Gongzi? Heck, I won't give anything valuable, so how can I receive it? Chen said that she hurriedly untied the knot of the bag, and found a small basket on top, and when she opened the lid, she saw that it was filled with a basket full of bright red cherries, and the green leaves underneath, which looked very sweet and attractive. Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "Now that the cherries have just grown, Jiang Gongzi has sent such a basket, which is really heartfelt." ”

Wang Tang on the side looked at it with a blank eye, Wang Shi saw that he was a little distressed, in addition to a lot of fruits during the day, his sister hadn't eaten it, so he asked Chen: "Mother, is this cherry a valuable thing, can we ask for it?" He still remembered this morning's lesson, and asked the adults for their opinions first.

Chen took out the basket, put it aside, glanced at him and Wang Tang with a smile, and said, "If you can ask for it, Gongzi Jiang specially sent this fresh fruit to taste it for you two little gluttonous cats, and I will take it to wash and eat it later." She rummaged through the bag again, took out a delicate purse, and opened it to find several delicately made silk flowers, with unique patterns and delicate colors. She was startled at first, thinking it was expensive jewelry, but she took it in her hand and looked through it only to find that it was only made of silk cloth, and it was not inlaid with beads and jade. She put away the purse and handed it to Wang Jin, and instructed: "Keep this for you to wear on weekdays, the little girl's family must always dress up, don't always dress like a boy." ”

Wang Jin nodded obediently and accepted it, she also saw the head flower inside, it was not tacky, there was a style of heart-saving begonia made of pink and white silk cloth It was indeed very beautiful, much better than the feeling of wearing a red flower on her head as she had always imagined.

Seeing that Chen took out a blue cotton cloth from it, rubbed it carefully, and it felt very smooth, Wang Jian looked at the color of this cloth and smiled at Chen: "Mother, this cloth is for you, you have white skin, this color is very suitable!" ”

The Chen family is still keeping filial piety for her husband, and it is not appropriate to wear bright colors. Although this blue is not outstanding, it is very lined with Chen's fair skin, and the cotton cloth is comfortable to wear and does not affect the work at home, Chen likes this gift very much, and can't help sighing: "Jiang Gongzi is so careful, this material is really good." She gently put the ingredients on the table beside her, rummaged through the bag again, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that all of them are for Mu'er!" ”

Although Wang Mu had been sitting quietly watching her turn over things, seeing that everyone in the family had a share and it was not her turn, she was actually a little anxious in her heart. Hearing Chan say this, he immediately got up from his chair and opened the bag to look through it. It was a one-foot-square bamboo bookbox, all of which were books given to Wang Mu by Jiang Qingliu, and they were all read by him, and there were many annotations on them. Wang Mu flipped through a few books and said excitedly: "These are all books that Brother Jiang told me to read before, saying that they will be of great benefit to my current studies, but I didn't expect him to give them to me." He picked up a few copies and flipped through them, and said: "This is "Zhaoming Anthology", this is "The World Says New Words", and this, this, all of them have Brother Jiang's handwritten annotations, great!" Mother, I'll take these books back to my room first! Wang Mu rarely showed such a happy expression, and Chen took the entire bookcase with him.

Seeing Wang Mu holding a bookcase that was quite heavy for him, and still being able to run fast, Wang Jin felt relieved and distressed. Due to the limited printing technology, books are very valuable here. When she went to the market today, she wanted to take Wang Mu to buy a few new books, but Wang Mu refused, saying that she would just go to the used book stall to buy some books. It's just that there are at most three-character classics and thousand-character texts on the old book stalls, which are all books that are available at home, or some miscellaneous books of words and travelogues, and finally reluctantly picked two books that are still favorites, Wang Jian is still unhappy in his heart, and feels that he has treated his younger brother badly, and these books sent by Jiang Qingliu must be of great benefit to Wang Mu. Remembering that when she was leaving, she found that all the bags containing things had been replaced with cloth bags that could be closed, and the number seemed to be too much, although she felt strange, but Jiang Qingliu explained that this cloth bag was more solid, so she didn't think much about it. Now it seems that he deliberately didn't want to let himself find out that he had added these things, so he refused to accept it. He was so thoughtful and considerate, and took care of everyone's thoughts in the family, and Wang Jian sincerely admired and thanked him, thinking that he must thank him seriously the next time they meet.

Chen and Wang Jinxu chattered and praised Jiang Qingliu for a while, and told her to thank them well next time they saw her, and invite her to come to the house for a meal.

After eating, Wang Jian took another good bath. Lying quietly in the tub, she looked at the hot air in front of her and remembered what happened today. Ye Qingmu is no longer the kind and kind Uncle Ye he used to be, and it is impossible for him to help him find out the truth. Father's death must have something to do with that Zhu Ming, but he is the helmsman of the Cao Gang, where does he have the strength to compete with him, if he is reckless and impulsive, he is just a moth to a fire. How do we know what happened back then? There were a total of six survivors of the shipwreck and Ye Qingmu's return, but they were sent back to their hometown soon after, and I am afraid that they had already been given a gag order, even if they were found, it would be useless. So who else knows about this? Speaking of which, she has always been very puzzled that her father wants to go to sea in person, because most of the businessmen who participate in the business of going to sea only provide their own goods or money, and do not need to travel with them. But when she heard that Uncle Wu would personally follow him for the shipping business to Goryeo, she didn't think much about it. Now it seems that it is not so simple. She pondered all the details of what had happened before her father went to sea, the people she had met, the words he had said. In the flash of lightning, a person appeared in her mind. It's him! It was only after meeting him that my father went to tell Uncle Wu that he wanted to go to sea with him! Wang Jin has always disliked this person, always felt that his eyes were a little treacherous, and he has always been stingy and loves face. She vividly remembered that when the man came to see her father that day, he brought her and her younger siblings a packet of deflated sugar. Thinking of this, Wang Jin had a feeling that he had seen the sun, and the broken clues finally had a breakthrough. She was both excited and anxious, and wanted to go to the man's house immediately to secretly investigate and verify her thoughts, and she thought that the matter of growing cotton at home still had to be taken care of, and she really couldn't walk away. Her hand clenched and loosened, her eyes struggling to the extreme, and it took a long moment to close her eyes and let out a long breath. Let's put this matter aside for the time being, settling down at home is the most important thing for her at the moment. As for the truth, she will definitely investigate it to the end and let the wicked ambush her!

When she returned to the room, she saw that Wang Tang was not in the house, and it was estimated that she had slept with Chen's, so she took out a small porcelain bottle from the drawer, took out some white plaster from it, and gently applied it to her fingers and lips. Because she refused to bandage the wound on her hand for fear of attracting Chen's attention, Jiang Qingliu took the plaster and gave her this plaster before leaving, asking her to apply it to the wound several times a day to remove saprophytic muscle and not leave a scar. This plaster is cool and moisturizing on the skin, but it is very comfortable, and it is estimated that the effect will not be bad. When she was done, she got her hair through and went to sleep. I'm going to go to the field tomorrow to see how it's going, well, it's time for them to compost some compost. Wang Jian thought about tomorrow's events and fell asleep unconsciously, but there was always a lingering sadness between his eyebrows... Father...
