Chapter 752: Gourd
Chapter 752: Hulu
Shen Liu took the box and put it on the table. Lian Man'er looked at the carved lacquer box and was not small, and wondered what it contained. Shen Liu didn't open the box, but stretched out two slender fingers and pushed the wooden box in front of Lian Man'er.
What is it, Lian Man'er looked at Shen Liu, although she didn't speak, but her eyes were clearly asking.
Shen Liu didn't speak, and motioned to Lian Man'er with his eyes, and opened it himself.
Lian Man'er glanced at the wooden box, and then at Shen Liu, but did not rush to open the wooden box. What will Shen Liu send her? Lian Man'er supported her cheek with one hand and made a thinking motion.
Speaking of which, since she met Shen Liu, Shen Liu has given her things only a handful of times. Moreover, almost every time it is very "formalized", that is, the way of courtesy. Although there are all kinds of things to be sent, from rulers and tea leaves to gold and silver, etc., they do not have any personal color.
The only thing that has some personal color is the head face that Shen Jin gave her. However, that has nothing to do with Shen Liu. That's right, that has nothing to do with Shen Liu.
And this time, Shen Liu called her over and asked her to give her something alone. Even Shouxin and Wulang were there just now, and there was no possibility that Shen Liu would give her things for convenience.
This should be the first time, Shen Liu specially gave her something, it was the first gift with a personal touch.
It's like Gorou came back from the capital and brought gifts to everyone in the family. Thinking about it, Shen Liu should be similar. The things in this box are a gift that Shen Liu brought back from the capital, and she also has a share? I don't know what it will be, but it is specially packed in this box, and Shen Liu's appearance is still so mysterious.
Lian Man'er's eyes rolled, and she couldn't see anything on Shen Liu's face, so she secretly gave Xiao Qi a look. Xiao Qi came before him, maybe he will know the inside story?
Xiao Qi winked at Lian Man'er with an innocent expression. He didn't know anything.
"What, don't you want it?" Shen Liu saw that Lian Man'er didn't open the wooden box for a long time, and he was still eyebrow-raising with Xiao Qi, so he almost muttered, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"How so!" Lian Man'er immediately put her hand down and stopped holding her cheeks in contemplation. It's rare for Shen Liu to give a gift, how could she not want it.
"Sixth Master, what's in here?" Lian Man'er put her hand on the box, and before opening it, she still asked again.
"If you open it, you'll know." Shen Liu said lightly, his eyes shifted from Lian Man'er's face to Xiao Qi's face, and then turned back. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and looked at Lian Man'er.
There was no obvious change in Lian Man'er and when he left, but his cheeks were slightly rounded, white and red, and they could be broken by blowing. It seems to be a little taller.
The little girl has been having a good time lately, Shen Liu thought. And, interestingly, there seems to be some avoidance of him. If he had called her to come to him, she would have come straight away. But today, she deliberately brought a small tail.
It should be a good thing to know that he is avoided. Shen Liu looked at Lian Man'er and squinted slightly. Moreover, although Lian Man'er thought of avoiding suspicion, when facing him, he was not restrained, nor was he restrained, he was still as generous as before.
It made him feel very ironed.
Lian Man'er's behavior in front of him is partly her nature, and partly because the person in front of her is him. Even if Lian Man'er never said anything, he could feel that Lian Man'er trusted and was close to him from the bottom of his heart. Because of such feelings, Lian Man'er will be so calm and comfortable in front of him.
Shen Liu suddenly felt in a good mood, and called Lian Man'er over today, and it was really right. Originally, his plan was tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, when things are not so busy, there are not so many people, and it will be more convenient.
Today, it's still a bit of a rush. However, he didn't want to wait. Today, it's not a whim. And as a result, he was satisfied.
Lian Man'er was lowering her head to open the wooden box, and she felt Shen Liu's burning eyes looking at her. It made her feel stressed. There are some things that she is not without feelings. If Shen Liu is not Shen Liu, but someone else from another family, then things will be much simpler.
Maybe, well, just maybe, it's nothing to marry in front of Goro, and it's not uncommon for the girl's family to marry before her brother gets married. Of course, she didn't really plan to marry that early.
However, Shen Liu is Shen Liu, the sixth master of the Shen family, there are too many people standing behind him, and he is carrying too many things. This is not even a question of whether she is willing to face it with him and carry it with him.
Therefore, Shen Liu can only be Shen Liu after all, although, as a man, he is very good, and even makes him excited.
Lian Man'er finally opened the wooden box, and the contents of the wooden box made her eyes widen. Xiao Qi leaned over and exhaled softly.
In the wooden box, on the red velvet cushion, are two beautiful sub-waist gourds.
Lian Man'er carefully took out the gourd and looked at it carefully.
"Sixth Master, this is the gourd of Nianyuan." Lian Man'er asked.
"Hmm. Before I went to the capital, I promised you. There are not many finished products in the end, except for the birthday gifts, which are these two. Shen Liu said.
Lian Man'er nodded. Shen Liu said that when she came back from the capital, she would give her a gourd, of course she remembered this, but she didn't expect that Shen Liu also remembered it so clearly, and cashed it out so quickly.
Different from the special-shaped gourd that Lian Man'er designed at the beginning, the shape of the two sub-waist gourds is not peculiar, and the texture on the surface is its wonderful. If you look closely, you can see the "growing" seal style Xi characters, as well as the lifelike pattern of two magpies standing on plum branches. Whether it is a happy word or a pattern, it is like a god, without any traces of craftsmanship, and it is really like being born and growing.
On the top of the two gourds, there is still a large section of vines, and I don't know how it has been treated, but it is coiled into a double butterfly knot, which is delicate and chic.
Lian Man'er was full of praise for watching it.
Just looking at these two gourds, you can imagine how beautiful and exquisite the gourd that Shen Liu gave to the emperor as a birthday gift. And Shen Liu's god-like method is even more exquisite.
"Sixth Master, these two are for me?" Lian Man'er took the gourd and asked lovingly.
"Of course." Shen Liu saw that Lian Man'er liked this gourd, and he was naturally happy in his heart.
"If I accept it disrespectfully, but I am ashamed of it, then I will be ashamed." Lian Man'er stood up again, blessed Shen Liu, and then sat down with a smile, put away the gourd, and then moved the wooden box to her and Xiao Qi's side, as if Shen Liu would regret asking for something back.
"Take this thing back, don't put it in the box." Shen Liu looked at Lian Man'er's movements, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "It should be put up." What is the auspicious saying of this gourd, you all know it, right? ”
Speaking of the last sentence, Shen Liu took out a tone of asking about homework, and deliberately glanced at Xiao Qi.
"Ward off evil spirits." Lian Man'er hurriedly replied. The gourd is a mascot since ancient times, and can be hung at the door to ward off evil spirits and attract treasures.
"Fulu." Little Seven Ways. This is the homonym of the gourd, the auspicious meaning of Hulu.
"Sixth master, don't worry, we won't hide such a good thing when we go back." Lian Man'er said busily, and at the same time gently pinched Xiao Qiyi under the table, signaling him not to go on.
If you say it below, because there are many gourds, it means that the descendants are prosperous and the people are prosperous. And this sub-waist gourd has the meaning of harmony and happiness of husband and wife.
Lian Man'er remembered that she seemed to have said to Shen Liu that compared to this kind of sub-waist gourd, she still preferred the kind of cute pot-bellied gourd produced in Liaodong Mansion.
Shen Liu may have forgotten, Lian Man'er thought, maybe Shen Liu thought that this kind of sub-waist gourd was rare in Liaodong Mansion, so he specially chose two such gourds to give her.
"Okay." Shen Liu's eyes were so sharp, he naturally saw Lian Man'er's small movements.
Lian Man'er should have understood what he meant, he could imagine that after Lian Man'er went back, there was a good chance that he would put these two gourds away. In this regard, he was a little unhappy. But, that's okay too. This gourd won't even show it to outsiders, but she can't but show it to the people in her family.
"The sixth master has worked very hard in Beijing this time, and he shouldn't go out again before the year." Lian Man'er gossiped with Shen Liu.
"Rest for a few days, you have to go to the army to have a look." Shen Liu said.
Most of the children of the Shen family serve in the army, and Shen Liu will spend a large part of his time in the army during the year. And towards the end of the year, he has to go to the army to inspect it. Lian Man'er once heard Shen Jin say that sometimes, Shen Liu would even stay in the army for the New Year.
"When are you going back to the village?" Shen Liu asked Lian Man'er.
"In the past two days, let's see what else the sixth master has ordered, and whether my brother has any arrangements. My sister's wedding day is approaching, and I have to go home and get ready. Lian Man'er said.
"I know this, Gorou told me." Shen Liu said, "The day is in time, don't be in a hurry to leave." The people in the city, you should also know each other. ”
Lian Man'er understood that this was Shen Liu reminding her, so she nodded hurriedly.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Gorou, Zhang, and Lian Zhi'er came back from outside. Lian Man'er took the opportunity to pull Xiao Qi to stand up and bid farewell to Shen Liu.
"It's not early, the sixth master is tired of carriages and horses, and he should rest early."
"Hmm." Shen Liu nodded and glanced at Lian Man'er deeply.
The family left the Shen Mansion and returned to their home in Songshu Hutong. Lian Shouxin and Zhang's naturally noticed the wooden box that Lian Man'er let people carry back.
"What is this?" Zhang asked.
"It's an ornament sent by the sixth master." Lian Man'er replied while instructing Xiaoxi to put the box in the cabinet. "It's too delicate and fragile, so keep it in the cupboard. …… Mother, you and my sister have seen the Phoenix Tower, what do you think? ”
After saying it lightly, Lian Man'er immediately changed the topic.
