Chapter 103: The Gift
The courtyard suddenly sounded a burst of calling, after a while, the colorful figure stagnated for a moment, the white jade little face bloomed a wisp of shy smile, the lotus step moved lightly, leaving only an infinitely beautiful figure, when the back of the beautiful woman disappeared, a strong man suddenly flashed out of the courtyard, his eyes were fierce, and he walked towards the door.
"It's really fast, you must look good next time." Walking quickly to the gate, pulling his hands, looking left and right, the strong man's face slowed down slightly, and he shouted angrily, with a trace of inexplicable smile passing through the corners of his mouth.
With a happy mood, Chu Zhen's pace became more and more brisk, and he walked around the alley with ease, and then came to the destination of this trip, stepped forward and tapped the door, and a servant immediately opened the door to welcome him in, and after walking a few steps, he came to the living room and sat down peacefully.
"The hostage is here." After receiving the news, the housekeeper of Chu Qian's house immediately came out to receive him with a smile on his face.
"Aren't my uncle and aunt at home?" Chu Zhen nodded and asked.
"The Lord and the Lady have gone out to visit, and they haven't come back yet, but the time should be soon." The butler smiled and said, "Madame also ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch, and the visitor's time must not be too long." ”
"Then I'll wait in my uncle's study." Anyway, there is nothing else, Chu Zhen stood up and said, of course the housekeeper had no opinion, and hurriedly led the way in front.
"I'm reading here, you go about your own business." When he came to the study, Chu Zhi thanked him, and then waved his hand.
"If you have any orders, just open your mouth and call out, I will retire." The butler smiled and nodded, took a few steps back before turning around and walking to the study, and closed the door casually as he went out.
I found a book of the Analects that had been reviewed by Chu Qian on the bookshelf, Chu Zhi leaned lightly on the embroidered couch, read it carefully, and from time to time compared Chu Qian's perception of the Analects with He She's daily experience, and learned from each other, and occasionally gained a more thorough understanding of the scriptures in the Analects.
"Childe." A delicate and jade voice sounded outside the study, and there was no response after a while, the delicate and soft Chu'er gently pushed open the door, first poked out her cute little head, stared at the situation in the room with her crystal clear big eyes, and found Chu Zhi's figure, her delicate and snow-white little face was slightly red.
The creak of the door opening woke Chu Zhen from the book, and after seeing the person clearly, he couldn't help but smile softly: "It turned out to be Chu'er, come in." ”
"Childe, please use tea." Clear eyes flashed a trace of shyness, Chu'er carefully held the teacup, walked lightly in front of Chu Qian, gently put down the teacup, and then lowered her head, a little overwhelmed, although she got along for a long time, but when she faced Chu Qian, she was inevitably a little restrained.
Zhizhan took a sip of hot tea, moved his shoulders slightly, and said leisurely: "After reading the book, I was a little tired." ”
As if he got a hint, a gust of fragrant wind rolled up, Chu'er quietly moved, came behind Chu Zhi, stretched out ten slender fingers that were as white as jade, and gently kneaded his shoulders, judging from the level of proficiency, this should not be the first time.
The fragrance is fragrant, under the touch of the soft and soft jade fingers, there is a crispy feeling, and he inhales quietly, Chu Zhen has no mind to look at any more Analects, symbolically struggles, Chu Zhi then enjoys it with peace of mind, after a while, Chu'er seems to be a little tired, the speed of kneading has slowed down, the little face is red, the breath is short, and the refreshing aroma is more and more rich and intoxicating.
"Take a break when you're tired." Restrained the emotions in his heart, Chu Zhen said in a harmonious voice.
"Chu'er is not tired." Enduring the soreness of her slender hand, Chu Er said delicately, but the movements in her hand slowed down a little.
"Chu'er is clumsy, and he is only halfway through the embroidery." Chu'er said softly, and a smile of joy appeared on her beautiful little face.
"Who said, my aunt often praises you for your ingenuity, and the craftsmanship of female red embroidery has surpassed her." His eyes glanced at his little white and delicate hand, and Chu Zhen smiled and said, "I think so too." ”
"Madame, that is deliberately lifting the first child." Chu'er said shyly, her delicate and slender eyelashes jumped slightly, and her big eyes as bright as water flickered, looking forward to ripples.
"You have to remember the promise of the day, after the silk handkerchief is embroidered, you will give it to me." Chu Zhen chuckled.
"If you don't dislike the silk handkerchief embroidered by Chu'er, of course Chu'er won't forget it." Chu'er laughed softly, revealing a sweet smile.
"Won't forget anything?" The door creaked open and Pan Yingying walked in and blurted out inquiring.
"I've seen Madame."
After a little simmering, Chu'er's delicate little face was like a fire, delicate, and hurriedly stepped forward two steps to salute, and saw the situation in the study clearly, Pan's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, but there was some regret in his heart, he knew that he should not be so eager to come in, and at the same time he had some secret hatred, this housekeeper actually said that there was only one person in the study, which was really dereliction of duty.
"Auntie, you're back." Chu Zhi calmly got up and saluted.
"I just got home, and I heard that you were in the study, so I came over to take a look, and I didn't bother you." Pan said with a smile, but looked at Chu'er meaningfully.
"Madam, sit down, Chu'er go make tea." Sensing Pan's scorching gaze, Chu'er's little face was hot for a while, his head drooped, and he said timidly, softened his body and bowed, and hurriedly walked into the study with small steps.
"This little girl is shy by nature, and if she asks her, she will definitely not say it." Pan Shi thought secretly, and turned his gaze to Chu Qian.
understood the meaning of Pan's inquiring gaze, but Chu Zhen didn't explain, but smiled and said, "Qian'er came here today to ask for something." ”
"What's the matter, just tell your aunt." Pan Shi chuckled and said, his eyebrows were crooked, and the autumn waves were looking forward to it, could it be that Qian'er was ready to ask for Chu'er from him?
"Qian'er is going to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher, and I want a few pieces of Pan Gumo as a gift." After pondering for a moment, under Pan's urging, Chu Zhijun's face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed to say.
Pan Gu ink, refers to the ink made by the people of Shezhou, because of its exquisite ink making, there is the name of the ink fairy, the ink made is well received by the world, in Bianliang City and even all parts of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Wenxiu pen and Pan Gu ink is the object of the literati and doctors, because the output is very small, the quality is good, so it is very precious, it can be said that there is no market in Bianliang City.
"It's just a little thing, what's not to say." Different from his own guess, Pan Shi was a little disappointed in his heart, but then said with a smile: "Since you want to pay New Year's greetings to Master He, it may not be too light to give a few pieces of ink as a gift, so you can leave the gift matter to your aunt and prepare it." ”
"Auntie, this ......." When Chu Zhen heard this, he immediately wanted to object.
"If you are polite, my aunt will be angry." Pan said, his delicate cheeks showed displeasure, and Chu Zhi was helpless, so he only nodded in agreement.
