Chapter 286: Gifts
Jin Yu and the others waited for half an hour, and finally saw someone come out.
Li Guojian came out with an object wrapped in blue satin in his hand, and looked at Jinyu and the others a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly; "I really can't get a good object, so I engraved these two seals, don't dislike it."
"Thank you, Uncle Li." The little two thanked them in unison, and Xu Wenrui reached out and took the things.
Originally, it was a bit inappropriate to look at the gift in front of others. But Jin Yu looked at this Uncle Li's embarrassed appearance, and had the heart to ask him not to think so much. I deliberately can't wait to be very happy; "India? Look, I've always wanted one. ”
Xu Wenrui understood what his daughter-in-law meant, held the things, and let Jinyu untie the satin on the outside and look at the things inside. The seal is made of green dragon wood, also called red sandalwood. This is the highest grade of mahogany, and furniture made from this wood is expensive.
But using this as a seal, although the grade is very high, it is not the best.
Jin Yu took a piece in one hand, the seal was waxed and polished, not painted, but had a satin-like luster. The red sandalwood is a twisted silk pattern, the brown eyes on it are still flashing gold dots in the sun, the top of the seal is carved with a lifelike unicorn, and the bottom of the seal is engraved with four big characters of eternal knot and concentric.
There are two small characters on each side of the big characters, one side is engraved with Wen Rui, and the other side is engraved with Jin Yu.
Obviously, the unicorn printed on it has been engraved a long time ago, and the words underneath, as well as the waxing, have just been made.
"Uncle Li, your craftsmanship is so good, this gift is so good, thank you Uncle Li, but how did you get this gold point?" Jinyu thanked her in surprise and asked curiously. She really likes it from the bottom of her heart.
"Uncle Li, I guessed correctly. This is Venus rosewood, right? This is the best of rosewood. Although Xu Wenrui hadn't had a chance to look at the seal with his own hands, he was also very happy to say on the side.
"Well, this is what we bought by chance on the way back from the capital. The gold dots on it are self-contained, not inlaid by me. Li Guojian explained.
Jinyu listened carefully, in fact, she was still very curious, what is going on with this golden point? How was it formed? If it is in modern times, ask Du Niang on the Internet, it will be clear. Jin Yu looked at the two square seals in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"That. This side is yours, go back and I'll make two brocade ribbons for them. Jin Yu looked at the person next to him who was a little anxious, and then remembered that he had occupied two pieces, and he hadn't looked at it yet. As she spoke, she handed over the one with his name engraved on it, and she continued to admire the piece in her hand.
Gifts given with heart are priceless and incomparably precious!
Looking at the pair of young people in front of him, he liked the gift he gave so much. The joy in Li Guojian's heart is not inferior to the two of them. Gold and silver, these two people are not lacking, and they can't write a pair of words, or paint a picture. Because he had seen the words of this young lady. That one was painted.
Therefore, after a walk around the study and seeing these two semi-finished pieces of rosewood, Li Guojian felt that he was too smart.
Xu Wenrui was a little puzzled. Uncle Li has been in the Xu family for so many years, and he has never seen him have this skill! But after thinking about it, Uncle Li's identity. I feel like I shouldn't ask.
"Uncle Li, if you have time in the future, can you accept me as an apprentice?" Xu Wenrui didn't speak, but Jinyu asked.
Yes? Later? Yes, of course it's good, but where is there anything to go to? Li Guojian looked stunned, hid the helplessness in his heart, and nodded with a smile; "If the young lady likes it, of course you can."
"By the way, Uncle Li, before coming over, my mother asked you to come over for lunch together, it's almost time, let's go over." Xu Wenrui remembered to say.
Li Guojian wanted to refuse, he was just a chess piece arranged by the emperor in the Xu family. According to his identity, he is one level higher than his subordinates, how can he eat with them. The mother and son of the Xu family respect themselves, but they can't forget their duty.
However, thinking of the future, he still nodded and agreed, and asked Jinyu and the others to go first, and then they would arrive after changing their robes.
On the way back between Jinyu and the others, Xu Wenrui saw that she had been silent, so he asked; "What's wrong? But what's wrong? ”
"Uncle Li has something on his mind, can you tell me the truth, what is his status in your heart?" When Jinyu heard him ask, she stopped and asked, anyway, the girl was far away and wouldn't hear it.
Xu Wenrui didn't react for a while, and then he thought that he had just patronized the two seals, and he didn't notice Uncle Li's expression, Jinyu was careful and saw something. However, after only thinking about it for a moment, he understood.
When the capital came out this time, the emperor still asked Uncle Li to follow him, and on the way, Feng Gui also said several times that Mr. Li was distracted and didn't know what he was thinking. At that time, he was thinking about how to find Jinyu, and he didn't take Feng Gui's words to heart at all.
From Uncle Li's standpoint, he is indeed embarrassed. I have grown up, and I have almost learned the four books and five classics that I should learn, why did the emperor still let Uncle Li stay by his side?
If it is really kind, thinking that Uncle Li's parents are not in nowhere to rely on, then Uncle Li will definitely not have anything to worry about. If there is something unspeakable, it is definitely not a good thing, it is something that makes Uncle Li feel embarrassed and cannot be said.
"What do you think of you? Truth? He is a teacher in my heart. Jinyu, I actually want to say that when he is a father, do you think it is ridiculous? Xu Wenrui asked a little nervously.
Jin Yu shook her head, looked into his eyes, and smiled at him; "Wen Rui, I'm so lucky, I didn't marry the wrong person, you are a real man."
Seeing that Jinyu really understood herself so well, Xu Wenrui breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his arm and took Jinyu into his arms, and said in her ear with satisfaction; "I am the luckiest, the mother who loves me the most, the teacher who taught me, and now I have you again."
He thought that Mr. Li was his father, and that was the real feeling in his heart. He has never seen his biological father since he was born, how envious he is that others have fathers. And Mr. Li, what he paid to him was not only learning the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", but also calligraphy Danqing.
This Mr. Li also taught him how to be a person.
If Uncle Li had a utilitarian heart when he was young, then Xu Wenrui felt that under such influence and edification, he would definitely not be disdainful of the position in the capital as he is now.
Therefore, he was grateful to this Uncle Li, and did not teach him to be a person like Cao Cheng and Tian Sheng.
When he said that he regarded Li Guojian as his father, Jin Yu didn't think crooked at all after hearing it. On the contrary, I felt even more sorry for the man in front of me. His biological father is the king of a country, and his identity is richer than the second generation, and the second generation of officials is bullish.
But what about his life? Not happy because of this prominent status. Since he was a child, he has never enjoyed the fatherly love he should have. Growing up with him, in addition to his mother, is this Mr. Li.
He also has to go through all kinds of murder plots, speaking of which, he is really fatal!
"If you don't worry, I'll handle Uncle Li's affairs." Jinyu said softly.
"Okay." In response to Jin Yu, it was such a refreshing word.
When he returned to the main courtyard, Jin Ze was already drinking tea with Xu in the living room. The atmosphere seemed to be very good, Xu Wenrui whispered to Jinyu; "My brother-in-law seems to have an opinion about me!"
Jin Yu only smiled, ignored him, first greeted her mother-in-law, and then called the third brother, and was arranged by the Xu family to sit next to her.
"Oh, it's a pity that I don't have a daughter, if I do, I will definitely recruit your brother as a son-in-law." Xu Shi said to Jinyu with great regret.
"Mother, you have taught your son from a young age that you must not be greedy." Xu Wenrui said solemnly.
"See, the person who married his daughter-in-law will still be jealous, it's really useless, and I'm not afraid of being embarrassed in front of your uncle." Xu patted Jinyu's hand and said disdainfully.
"Uncle is not an outsider, what are you afraid of." Xu Wenrui retorted thickly, making Jin Ze smile helplessly.
Now Jin Ze's smile is more casual and natural. Because after chatting with my sister's mother-in-law, the fear that my sister would be angry is gone. Even with it, looking at this brother-in-law again, it is also a lot more pleasing to the eye.
This time, I won't repeat it again, I really think this brother-in-law is good, and he is the one who can entrust his sister for life. Don't say anything else, anyway, when my sister was with my brother-in-law, Jin Ze didn't see anything from these two people.
Jin Ze is also very deeply touched now, and his thoughts have begun to change a lot along the way to send his sister to his brother-in-law. He also hopes that his wife is something he found and liked, not the kind of matchmaker who introduced her.
He doesn't want to take a concubine or anything after marriage, don't look at anything else, just his own family, his father's concubine has two rooms. It's not that the mother is generous, it's not that the father is not confused, how can the family be peaceful. Although, there are only two concubines in my father's room, which is a small number of officials of the same level.
However, in this way, there is no way to be of the same heart. As soon as his father was demoted, didn't that Lian family expose his true nature, where is there any love between husband and wife. Ponzi is weak and settled, but it's a good one.
Just now, watching his sister and brother-in-law enter the door together talking and laughing, Jin Ze felt warm in his heart. I don't think these two people are too casual and unruly. On the contrary, he began to envy these two people, and he began to yearn for the future to marry a wife like his sister and brother-in-law.
"By the way, you two went to Mr. Li's, I forgot to remind you. He must have been unprepared, and he must have made him feel embarrassed, right? Xu suddenly asked regretfully.
When he got married on the first day, on the gift list, Mr. Li had already given a gift of 2,000 taels. She still understands Mr. Li, she is very particular about dressing, and she is also particular about her diet, whether the one in the palace has a reward for him, Xu Shi doesn't know, anyway, she thinks he doesn't have much savings.
Jinyu hurriedly motioned to Xu Wenrui to show her mother-in-law the meeting gift given by Li Guojian.
"This is your Uncle Li's heart, you must cherish it." Xu Shi looked at the two red sandalwood seals, was silent thoughtfully, and admonished.
Xu's reaction made Jinyu's heart tremble inexplicably...... (To be continued......)
