Chapter 18: Gifts

Jiang told Tang Lun: "Don't be naughty, let your cousin have a little." ”

Then I was in a good mood and went back to the spring mountain residence.

Mo Yu re-brewed the tea.

Cui Keyin sat on the big kang near the window and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Tang Lun really wanted to put on a shelf, but seeing Cui Keyin's calm appearance, he thought, forget it, what is there to worry about with her as a woman. Leaned back to the big pillow on the kang opposite, looked at the roof, and said, "Naturally, there is something to do with you." ”

But he said nothing.

Cui Keyin saw him holding it, smiled slightly, and said, "How do you feel about the rose cake that I sent over two days ago, how did my aunt taste it?" ”

Speaking of this, Tang Lun sat up again and said, "I came here for this, my mother likes it very much, saying that a few snacks are delicious, and the one that suits her most is rose cake." ”

Because Cui Keyin likes to eat this, she put a lot of thought into making red beans, and all the ingredients are picked and selected, without a single flaw, and no one else is allowed to interfere, all of them are done by herself.

"Isn't it sweet but not greasy, melts in your mouth?" Cui Keyin asked with a smile.

Tang Lun nodded. Da Jiang ate two or three in a row, and if it weren't for the persuasion of the grandmother around him, he would have wanted to eat another one.

Cui Keyin shouted red beans: "Pack two more boxes and let Uncle Cousin take them back." ”

Tang Lun said: "I'm not here to ask you for rose cake. ”

As he spoke, he found a rectangular box out of nowhere and handed it over.

Mo Yu hurriedly stepped forward to take it and put it on the kang table in front of Cui Keyin.

Cui Keyin opened it, and there was a scroll of calligraphy and paintings inside, but it was the painting that he painted in Chaobai River that day, and it had already been framed.

I don't know which of the framing masters I invited to mount it, it is better than when it was not framed, the trees are greener, the Chaobai River is more spectacular, and even a fishing boat in the distance has the momentum of riding the wind and waves.

"I've got you." Tang Lun said generously: "It's a return gift for rose cake." ”

Cui Keyin thanked him with a smile and said, "I have to keep Xie Yuanlang's ink treasure, and take it out and hang it in the middle hall when you enter the pavilion to pay respects." ”

Tang Lun was tense at first, but finally he couldn't hold it anymore, buried his head in the big pillow and laughed, and the laughter overflowed through the big pillow.

Cuihuan came over and said, "Madame, please ask Uncle Cousin to stay for dinner." ”

Tang Lun responded.

Cui Zhenyi has not yet returned from the yamen, and the big Jiang said: "They are all brothers and sisters, and they are all young, so let's have a lively meal together." ”

The dinner was set up in the banquet room of Chunshan Residence, and two of Tang Lun's favorite dishes were temporarily added.

Tang Lun and Cui Muhua sat together, and Cui Keyin sat opposite.

There are many varieties of dim sum in Huayuexuan, and I tasted a piece of each one, and I was half full. Tang Lun didn't pay much attention to the dishes in front of him, and he used chopsticks to pick up rice grains without a handful. Jiang thought that the dish was not to his taste, and said: "This is your favorite scallion roasted sea cucumber, but there is no fresh sea cucumber in the capital, so it can only be made with dried sea cucumber, and the soaking time is not enough, isn't it delicious?" ”

As he spoke, he took a piece and put it in his mouth to taste.

In fact, the mother-in-law on the stove heard that she was going to make a scallion roasted seafood, so she was busy boiling hot water and simmering it carefully, and it took a lot of thought.

Cui Keyin also took a small piece and chewed it slowly in her mouth, which was indeed a little hard.

A table full of dishes, Cui Keyin also coerced one or two chopsticks. Tang Lun didn't know that Cui Keyin had a small amount of food, and thought she was unhappy, so when he saw her go to roast sea cucumber with green onions, he also took a chopstick.

The taste is okay, but it's too hard, and it takes a lot of effort to eat, which affects the taste. However, Cui Keyin didn't say anything after eating, so Tang Lun had to swallow the sea cucumber.

Da Jiang smiled, took another piece of sea cucumber and put it in his bowl, and said, "Eat more." ”

Cui Keyin ate a small half bowl of rice and was full.

Tang Lun then put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "I'm also full." ”

"How is this possible?" Jiang Shi said urgently: "What if I'm hungry?" ”

If my sister's precious son is starved, won't my sister die of sadness?

Cui Keyin put the handkerchief on the red lacquered and gold-painted begonia flower tray held by the maid, and said, "Don't worry, auntie, he just ate a lot of snacks." ”

Jiang Shi remembered what Moyu said, breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "This kid is not serious when it comes to eating. ”

Tang Lun rolled his eyes, rinsed his mouth, and said, "Go back to the study quickly, I still have something to tell you." ”

Cui Keyin didn't know what else he had to say, and when Cui Muhua finished eating, the three of them went back to Huayuexuan together.

"We're going to the National Prison on the fifteenth, what gift do you have for me?" As soon as he entered the study, Tang Lun said.

Cui Muhua shook his head helplessly.

In the same country, he and Tang Lunbai were under different gentlemen. Tang Lun's husband is the master of the world's crafting arts, Song Xin'an, the secretary of Guozijian, who mainly learns the art of making and prepares for next year's Spring Festival. Cui Muhua's husband is Xie Yan, a doctor of the Five Classics, who is preparing for the township examination in three years.

He is older than Tang Lun, and there is almost no suspense that Tang Lun will become a two-list jinshi next year, and he is still struggling to take the exam, which is frustrating to think about.

Cui Keyin said: "Everyone has a knife to clear their hearts, how about it?" ”

Cui Muhua said: "How can you give such a valuable gift? If you have time, just make a pair of shoes for each of us. ”

It's better to make shoes for you than to give you a piece of paper. Cui Keyin slandered and said: "I prepared it early in the morning, my brothers want to go to school, so naturally I will send pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

Although Chengxin paper is rare, it is much easier than wasting time to make shoes for you.

Cui Keyin's clothes are mostly made of black jade. She will also be a female celebrity, but she always feels that it is not worth spending time on needlework and thread, so she rarely takes needlework and thread, and even the purse handkerchief she wears on her body is embroidered with black jade.

Cui Muhua is a man, where to pay attention to these little things.

Tang Lun was not satisfied, and said, "Why am I the same as Ziyou's cousin's gift?" ”

Cui Keyin laughed and said, "So, do you think a knife is too much paper?" He shouted at Lu Ying: "Then it's good to send half a knife." ”

"You know I didn't mean that."

How can Tang Lun say that he has been held high since he was a child, his food and clothing are different, and the gifts he gives him are different from others, and he always gives him better ones. Now Cui Keyin treats him the same as Cui Muhua, he can't accept it.

"How do I know what you mean?"

Cui Keyin looked at her with wide eyes.

When he saw Cui Keyin's eyes as black as stars in the sky, his face slightly raised, and he looked innocent, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, it's okay to be the same as Ziyou's cousin." ”

Cui Muhua was surprised.

Tang Lun in his impression is unforgiving, and he will make trouble if he is unreasonable.

Cui Keyin drove them away: "It's not early, let's go back." ”

Cui Muhua hurriedly pulled Tang Lun, who still wanted to say something, and left.

In the next two days, Mrs. Zhang San brought Zhang Yu over and stayed for lunch.

Early in the morning of April 15, Cui Zhenyi went to the court before dawn as usual, and Cui Keyin and Jiang sent Cui Muhua out. Back in the inner courtyard, Jiang helped Cui Keyin pick out the clothes and jewelry to wear for Mrs. Yang's birthday tomorrow.
