Chapter 14 The Cheng Family's Thanksgiving Gift
Gu Ren daxiao got up, and when he saw Qiluo like this, he really felt happy. Because Qiluo, who has never had an expression since she was a child, is now more and more human, and she is becoming more and more vivid.
"You want me to marry you because you helped me? There should be a lot of people who want to marry you. Gu Ren tapped her again.
Qiluo thinks about it, does he expect to be repaid, or is he looking forward to being pitied? It doesn't seem to be very good. could only look at her husband angrily, and that expression made Gu Ren even more excited. If it weren't for the outside of the room, I'm afraid he would have wanted to pick her up. Of course, he didn't have a chance, because it was said that the Cheng family had sent someone to give gifts.
"You know the rules of the old man, be careful of being beaten." Qiluo didn't bother to go out at all, so she told Gu Ren directly, and then went back to the room by herself.
Gu Ren thought about it, of course he knew who Duan Ding was, so if he dared to accept a gift, Duan Ding would really turn his face.
walked out, but I saw Cheng An, and the good mood just now was gone. But he still stepped forward, "Cheng Daren." ”
"Shopkeeper Gu, Cheng was ordered by his mother to thank Mrs. Gu for saving her brother's life." Cheng An arched his hand and said.
"You're polite, Humble Jing is just doing my father-in-law a small favor, and the main ones who work hard are my father-in-law and Imperial Doctor Chai." Gu Ren smiled and arched his hand, indicating that his husband and wife were useless.
"The gift was chosen by the mother of the family, and Dr. Duan and Dr. Chai also have it, please don't be polite." Cheng An bowed his hand again and retreated directly. The people who came with Cheng An all retreated cleanly at once. It was impossible for Gu Ren to be polite if he really wanted to.
It's not that there are few things, so Gu Ren can stuff them back into his hands. Retreating, I can only stare at the gift in a daze, so much. It's not valuable, otherwise I wouldn't have to give it away. However, the advantage of giving it away is that all the way I saw the Cheng family giving gifts to Changchun Hall to thank them for saving their lives, which can be regarded as giving Changchun Hall face.
Let people carry things back to the back hall, and Master Gu and Mrs. Gu, who had originally gone in, came out and received gifts from the official family for the first time. It's normal to get a little out of control. There's no way, they sell medicine, and they are like Dr. Duan's miracle doctors. The grades are different. The Duan family has a rule and does not accept thank-you gifts, while the Gu family really only gives gifts to the official family, and has not received thank-you gifts from the official family. It is also said that it is the second young man of the Cheng family. General Cheng personally sent it. This is too face-saving, and it makes them feel a little flattered, so Kira was also called out to feel the honor together. She didn't look at anything else, but stared at the half-old red wooden box on the top.
Gu Ren hadn't opened the gift yet, and seeing Qiluo staring at the small box, he opened it easily. Then Master Gu and Mrs. Gu both took a breath of cold air, and the box was not big. But there was a golden peony inside.
It was the size of a real peony, and it was made of pure gold in the shape of petals. Even the stamens are beautifully crafted and inlaid with jewels. This is not only the value of the connection, but also the craftsmanship, after the war, there are not many masters who can make such exquisite plays. So this kind of thing, in fact, can be regarded as unattainable today.
"Retreat! I don't have to go home. Kira closed the box gently.
Doctor Gu nodded hurriedly, he also knew Duan Ding's weird temper, and this was already the Duan family's signature, if Qiluo accepted it, Duan Ding would definitely be angry. Besides, this kind of gift is not easy to receive, and there is also a Chai Imperial Doctor in the middle, at this time, it is better for the folk Duan family not to have conflicts with the Chai Imperial Doctor with an official background. This time, the life-saving grace was done by Imperial Doctor Chai, not by the Duan family.
Mrs. Gu let out a long sigh, "Alas, Ren'er, it would be good if you held on a little longer, look, this is called face!" ”
Gu Ren's face darkened, he just said that he was kicked out because of his marriage, but now his mother said to hold on a little longer. Is he okay with this?
But Qiluo didn't laugh, she still had the golden peony in her mind, it was Taijun's dowry, and the Lu family and the county lord of Anlan wanted it at the beginning, which was for them, this was Taijun's recognition of the family. But Taijun didn't give anyone. It's just that I open it from time to time. She's familiar with it.
Taijun once asked her if she liked it or not. Kira laughed, and Taijun also laughed, sighing lightly. In fact, for Qiluo, she just looks at it, and it's okay, but this golden peony is actually a headdress, a very luxurious headdress, she doesn't need it at home on weekdays, and she doesn't need it when she goes out. So Taijun was just joking, she knew that Kira had never thought of asking for it. Qiluo later learned that this golden peony was custom-made for Taijun by her husband before marriage, and was secretly given to her as a token of love. On the surface, this is a dowry, but in fact, the significance of this is far greater than a dowry. Now the old lady weishenme will deliberately give this to himself?
But no matter what, even if it is not this kind of gift with special meaning, the Duan family also has the rules of the Duan family, no matter what she does, she can't break her father's rules, and it is better to refuse.
Gu Ren thought about it, saw a dim sum box, opened it to see, it was really dim sum, took it out and put it in Qiluo's hand, and then asked people to collect the rest, load the car, and he went to Chengfu to meet him.
Qiluo was stunned for a moment, since he didn't accept it, what was it to leave the box for snacks. However, immediately, she understood what Gu Ren meant, she was not the imperial doctor of Chai, nor was she a father, they didn't care whether they accepted it or not, they had that status in the rivers and lakes. But she is a junior, and she accepts a box of snacks to give the Cheng family face and express her sincere fear. She is still used to being General Duan, and she almost forgot that she is now a Gu family wife.
She smiled at Gu Ren and praised, "It's still senior brother who is thoughtful." ”
Gu Ren was proud, and hurriedly asked people to load the car and send it back himself.
Master Gu just turned around, and now his mood is much better, thinking about it, Qiluo actually didn't say anything, she promised not to drive them away yesterday, but the situation was pressing. Now seeing that the Cheng family has sent gifts with great fanfare, it shows that Changchun Hall has another famous doctor, all of which shows that when Changchun Hall is about to win with medicine in addition to medicine, Master Gu is finally comfortable.
Qiluo looked at the dim sum and held it to her in-laws with both hands, these are all special dim sum made by the Cheng family's own kitchen, although she doesn't like to eat much, but she is familiar with it. But at this time, she was alert, she was not the wife of the Cheng family, she was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Just offer, but don't say much.
"Your mother-in-law and I don't like to eat dim sum very much." Master Gu still appreciates her attitude, but this is given to her by others, how can her in-laws take it.
Qiluo smiled, or insisted on putting it in front of them, intimate words, she didn't know how to say, but at this moment, she really couldn't speak, she had been by the side of the two old men for more than half a year, and the feelings were there, but after all, it was only half a year, how to say it, and there was no relationship between her and Taijun in the previous life, not to mention, she and Taijun really wouldn't say anything intimate when they arrived, and there was no need to be polite between them.
"This kid, really." Mrs. Gu is happy, but through the contact these days, she likes Qiluo a lot, she doesn't talk much, and she respects her elders very much, of course, Second Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu are not elders in Mrs. Gu's opinion. Of course, she won't admit that what she likes now is because she finally drove out Second Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu. Her breath, which she had been holding for twenty years, finally came out.
Master Gu stretched out his hand and twisted a peach blossom cake and took a bite, he picked this because he thought it looked very beautiful, of course, after biting, he took the ginger tea handed by Qiluo.
Where do the peach blossoms come from now, these are the petals picked when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in April and May, and then pickled with honey, and in winter, they are made into small snacks. The premise is that the only man in the Cheng family is at the border. It means that in the pure hostess's home, the chef does the most haode, which is what the hostes love to eat and the children love to eat. This peach blossom cake is what Taijun likes, and Qiluo doesn't allow Taijun to eat more at all, because it's too sweet. Now looking at the old man's expression, she can only sympathize, and hurriedly handed over the ginger tea, this one is green onion and ginger, add a little salt, it is more greasy.
Mrs. Gu liked it very much, she took it and helped the old man eat it, and was about to take another piece, Qiluo hurriedly asked her to try another one, there is a kind of jujube paste filling that the grandfather likes to eat, not sweet, half of the dried jujube and half of the pulp are used, which is very fruity and fragrant. Master Gu also took a piece, and nodded as expected, "This one is much better." ”
"Well, I also think this is delicious, but how do you make that peach blossom cake, so beautiful and so sweet?" Mrs. Gu really likes it.
"I don't know, each family should have its own secret recipe." Kira didn't dare to say more, just laughed dryly.
"You don't want to taste it?"
Mrs. Gu noticed that she hadn't moved.
She immediately shook her head, whether it was what Taijun liked or what her husband liked, she didn't like it anyway. The snacks she used in the middle of the night were all made by Qing'er, either by beating a candy egg, putting some chopped green onions, some sesame oil, and drinking a bowl of hot water, and her whole body was warm. Or cook a noodle soup. Anyway, she doesn't really want to eat these sweet and greasy snacks.
"The Cheng family wants to send the princess and relatives, it's very boring to think about it!" After taking a sip of tea to get rid of the sweetness in his mouth, Master Gu became worried about the country and the people again.
"That's also a march, as long as you march, you have to prepare medicine, father-in-law, do we have to prepare these days?" Qiluo didn't expect it before, but now when his father-in-law mentions it, he immediately blackens his face and wants to scold Cheng An again. I can give a gift, but I didn't say anything about the sign, and I can never figure out the priority. Before sending something, please ask if you can make it clear. If it is in a few days, when they remember, she will give him the medicine. Why can't this person be reliable?
"Will you give us a sign?" As soon as Master Gu's eyes lit up, he immediately stopped worrying about the residents of the country.
"Or go to Anran, they should want the heart protection pill and the antidote pill. I'll give you the recipe when I get back. ”
"No, no!" Master Gu immediately waved his hand, looked left and right, and waved his hand again, "Go back to your parents' house by yourself, don't stick a brand." ”
Kira opened her mouth wide, what does that mean. (To be continued......)
