Chapter 401: A Precious Gift

Chu Zhi was pleased and walked in front of Chu Dun, not seen for a year. He is also a few points taller in the whole book, his eyes are as bright as stars, his two slender eyebrows are flowing like flying, and his face is still so handsome.

"Second brother!" Chu Jing whispered, his breath was undecided, his face was flushed, and he was a little excited. Stretched out his hand to hug Chu Zhuo, and at a different moment, Chu Zhen smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a year, but the third brother is strong, and I am afraid that his knowledge is far better than mine." ”

"How can I talk about the second brother, there are books engraved with Chu Ban chuckled, and his personality seems to be more cheerful than before.

It was just entertainment, Chu Zhen waved his hand and said, "If you want, I can also print a set for you."

Forget it, Chu Se, who didn't dare to laugh at the generous family, hurriedly shook his head, knowing what his level was, how dare he be ugly.

The seal still has to be printed, but it can be postponed until next year, Chu Zhen said with a smile: "Strive to write more articles and poems before the exam, ask the famous teacher and Confucianism for advice and revision, and record it into a book at the right time, and publish it in Bianliang, or it may be useful."

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up slightly, and without waiting for Chu Meng to hesitate, she said directly: "Se'er, this matter has to be up to your second brother." ”

There is no shortage of money for printing books, but it is not so easy to find famous teachers and Confucians. With the reputation and connections of Chu Qian's teacher, it is a simple matter.

You must know that the imperial examination is more famous, otherwise every time it is time for the big examination, how can the scholars give a large number of ministers and officials in the DPRK and the central government, not hoping to attract their attention, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, just an old saying, hundreds of years have passed, the scholars have long known how to keep pace with the times, and know the benefits of publicizing themselves.

At the end, Mrs. Wang bowed slightly and said politely: "Quality, you have to worry about this matter."

"What the hell, what does my sister-in-law want to do, just tell me to do it, and I will naturally do it properly." The high-spirited voice sounded, Chu Qian strode over, especially when he saw Chu Qian's figure, with a bright smile on his face, before anyone arrived, the voice had already come out: "Haha, it's really a quality."

"The third uncle Chu Zhen is happy to give gifts, Chu Qian still hasn't changed, his personality is heroic, and he has more joy as a father.

"Good boy, you are finally willing to come back, Chu Qian laughed. patted Chu Zhen on the shoulder and looked at it carefully, "The appearance has changed, but he looks energetic, and he has a bit of an uncle's demeanor."

"Third uncle, look at what you said, it seems that I don't want to come back Chu Zhi said, with a helpless face, the Northern Song Dynasty is not modern, no matter how far away it is, it doesn't take long to go back and forth, and I haven't seen anyone for more than a month, and those imperial historians don't even put themselves to death.

"Originally, look at what I said, the warm breeze made the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou was regarded as Bianzhou, it was obvious that he was already addicted to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, where would he be willing to come back Chu Qian smiled.

"Yes, I was wrong, this is an apology for the third uncle, and a gift for the aunt and younger siblings Chu Zhen chuckled, signaled slightly, and Chu'er hurriedly brought a few items.

"Little boy, I finally remember my uncle's hobby, so I'll forgive you this time." Chu Qian smiled happily, playing with a brightly colored ancient seal, and couldn't put it down.

"Third uncle, this Buddha bead is opened by the great monk of Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, the master of Riguan himself, the evil turns into auspiciousness, and the death is auspicious, I hope my aunt likes it." Chu Zhen smiled and said: "The same is true of these two jade pendants, which have been enshrined in the Buddha Hall for many years. has absorbed enough aura and can bless his younger siblings with a safe life

Pan's belief in Buddhism, Buddha beads are made of rosewood, pondered by craftsmen over time, mellow and transparent, natural texture, sandalwood fragrant, smell refreshing, calm and peaceful, and two pieces of jade pendant, one is the Buddha statue modeling, one is the Guanyin modeling, crystal clear, like mutton fat, the tentacles are warm, there seems to be a trace of warmth, very suitable for children to wear.

"Quality, you have a heart, Chu Qian said with relief.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere in the hall, Yun Niang couldn't help but smile boldly: "Qian'er, you can't favor one over the other, the gifts of the two sisters."

Glancing at Yun Niang, Mrs. Wang said indifferently: "It's good to come back, why do you need any gifts."

"What my sister said is that it's good if the hostage is here." Mrs. Hui smiled in agreement.

"Naturally, I dare not be negligent." Chu Zhen smiled, hesitated slightly, and replaced three brocade boxes, which were placed in front of Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Hui, and Yun Niang.

Even I have Yun Niang surprised smile, carefully opened the brocade box, a pearl necklace came into view, stunned for a moment, can't wait to pick it up, carefully examined, each pearl is the same, like a thumb, crystal transparent, in the reflection of the sun, shining like the moonlight, particularly eye-catching.

After being intoxicated for a long time, Yun Niang resisted the urge to wear it, and said with a smile: "The beads are so beautiful, thank you for Qian'er, but I don't know what the gift of the two sisters is?" ”

After groaning, Mrs. Wang took the lead in opening the brocade box, and there was also the same pearl necklace inside, the color and size were no different from Yun Niang's, at this time, everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at Mrs. Hui.

Looking at Chu Zhen worriedly, Mrs. Hui smiled and said: "Whatever you send is the intention of the hostage, even if it is two leaves, I am happy, so I don't have to look at it."

The atmosphere became a little weird, Yun Niang stopped talking, but Mrs. Wang said lightly: "It's good to take a look." Raising children

Biting Rouchen lightly, hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Hui carefully opened the brocade box, and saw the situation inside from the crack, her heart was inexplicably relieved, her slender hand turned slightly, the lid of the box was opened, and there was also a pearl necklace inside, which seemed to be no different from the previous two.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, a smile appeared on her lips, and Mrs. Wang said in a harmonious voice: "Qian'er, when you come back, you will come back, what do you do with such a waste, save some family savings, and marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"That's right, it's good to have a heart, you don't have to be extravagant." Yun Niang echoed, her smile a little more sincere.

Chu Zhen smiled and explained: "These are Haizhu, the Central Plains are rare, but overseas is not so rare, there have been overseas visitors who admired the Central Plains culture, through the Hangzhou Bo Division, asked me for a few calligraphy and paintings, and gave me these, the quality is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, but it didn't cost any money." ”

"Qian'er, yes whispered, Chu Qian said with a smile: "The three sisters-in-law don't worry, when Qian'er gets married, will we be uncles and ignore it, and after finishing the Qian'er, continue to Se'er and become a daughter-in-law, and simply help Jie'er find a little daughter-in-law." ”

Chu Jiecai raised his head from the rose cake box, didn't bother to wipe the crumbs on his face, and asked curiously, "What is the daughter-in-law, is it delicious?" ”

The innocent and childish words caused everyone to burst into laughter, Chu Qian lovingly pinched Chu Jie's fleshy little face, and said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law is not eating, but she will make delicious food for Jie'er to enjoy."

Lowering his head and thinking about it in a daze, Chu Jie exclaimed: "Oh, it turns out that my daughter-in-law is my mother, and she often cooks food for me." ”

Hahaha, in the small hall of Chu Jie's childish voice, there was more and more joy.

"You're so smart." Chu Qian smiled and said, isn't it, the daughter-in-law is the mother-in-law, sometimes the discipline is more severe than the mother-in-law, just look at the situation in front of you, it's okay to be kind, otherwise the second brother will be guilty at night.

Just play someone pay careful attention to the will find that the three pearl necklaces seem to be exactly the same, but in fact there are differences, the number of pearls in each necklace is different, the least is Yun Niang, only twenty-eight, the most is Mrs. Wang, thirty-six, Mrs. Hui's in the middle, thirty-two.

Although everyone knows that the pearl is Chu quality, as a son, it is okay to give Mrs. Hui as much as he wants, but on the surface, it is very in line with feudal etiquette, fully expressing his respect for Mrs. Wang's identity in the main family, which is naturally praised by Chu Qian, and even Mrs. Wang is very satisfied.

The days of the group of wives and concubines are not easy, Chu Qian lamented in his heart, but said with a smile: "Qian'er, your aunt stayed at home to take care of her young brothers and sisters, it is inconvenient to come over, what about the gifts, you take them first, and give them to them in person tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Chu Zhen nodded with a smile, expecting that in the past few days, don't want to be clean, it is inevitable to visit relatives and friends, put the Buddha bead and jade pendant in the box to collect, and held a square box with both hands to save the manuscript, and said solemnly: "Wenyu, lend you a gift, explain in advance, just borrowed, remember to return me."

In this way, not only Chu Meng was confused, but others were strange, Chu Qian even smiled and said: "Qian'er, when did you become so stingy, since it is a gift, just give it to Meng'er, why do you need to go back."

"This is something I have worked so hard to get, but I am reluctant to give it away." Chu Zhen said, reluctant to give up and carefully handed the square box to Chu Dun, reminding him again and again: "Usually be careful and pay attention, take it lightly, it will be broken in the slightest." Don't blame him for being an unsympathetic brother. ”

"Quality, the more you say this, the more outrageous it becomes, what can be more precious than brotherhood, wow!"

Sensing Chu Qian's cautious attitude, Chu Jian also attached great importance to it, took the square box, with great curiosity, gently lifted the lid, looked down slightly, and immediately became sluggish, and Chu Qian on the side, while teaching Chu Qian, also stepped forward to observe, and exclaimed, all manners aside.

Holding Chu Ban with one hand, as if he was a strange uncle who abducted a child, Chu Qian said extremely seriously: "Grandson, such a precious gift, as your third uncle, I have the responsibility and obligation to keep it for you, come, give it to me."

What is it, it actually made Chu Qian's gaffe like this, others were extremely surprised, and Chu Wan was even more short of breath, his face was full of excitement, he ignored Chu Qian, the box was covered, and he hugged it tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid of being snatched.

"Qian'er, you disappointed my uncle too much, in vain I hurt you so much on weekdays to see that the abduction could not be achieved, Chu Qian said sadly and angrily: "The gift is actually given to the child, but there is no share of me." ”

Chu Zhen emphasized: "It's borrowing, not giving, you have to pay it back" No matter what, then you have to lend me a share. "Chu Qian looks like a bit of a scoundrel.

"The third child, he scolded him for making a fuss, but when he saw Chu Luo, Chu level came flutteringly, but he heard the servant's report and specially asked for leave to rush back, seeing Chu Qian like this, Chu Ji couldn't help but scold: "In front of the juniors, do you still want to have the demeanor of the elders, if you spread it, you want to add laughter to people and lose the face of the Chu family." ”

If you like to laugh, just give me the gift Cheng Chu Qian said, of course, just dare to whisper.
