However, the gift of "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha" lacks the two indispensable links of "carefully pondering the other party's preferences" and "bothering to prepare for the other party", so that the recipient of the gift will not feel the affection that you must have no matter what. This reason is obviously more important than the first reason.

And the most important reason is the third reason, the third is because of the heart contained in Gongsun Xianye's gift, but Gongsun Xianye is grateful to Gu Liangsheng for serving him flower tea every day, but there is no trace of the affection that Gu Liangsheng is looking forward to, and he doesn't even have the urge to give Gu Liangsheng a gift inexplicably.

The topic came back to this moment, when Gongsun Xianye heard Gu Liangsheng resolutely and resolutely reject his "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha", he asked Gu Liangsheng and said, "Sheng'er, do you mean that you don't want to accept this jade bracelet?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, no matter how ordinary this jade bracelet may be in your eyes; Anyway, it's too expensive for me, so I don't want it. Gu Liangsheng firmly rejected Gongsun Xianye's gift.

"Sheng'er, think about it again, are you sure you don't want this jade bracelet?" Gongsun Xianye asked Gu Liang again for confirmation.

"Don't think about it, Your Highness the Prince, I'm sure I don't." Gu Liang replied categorically.

"Why don't you put it on and try it! Give it a try, and you might want to take it! Gongsun Xianye persuaded Gu Liang to say.

"No need, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I've already decided not to, so why bother trying it on?" Gu Liangsheng still refused unmoved.

In fact, if Gongsun Xianye insists on it a little longer, he will definitely let Gu Liangsheng accept it; Or say to Gu Liangsheng, "I think only you wear this jade bracelet", "I think only you wear this jade bracelet to look good", etc., so that this original pair of objects has a unique feeling, and then let Gu Liangsheng indirectly feel the affection that must be you, maybe Gu Liangsheng will accept it happily!

It's a pity that Gongsun Xianye will never bother more about women, let alone win the hearts of women with sweet words, even if it is a woman he has already loved; And this is precisely the reason why Gu Liangsheng likes him, and he is the person Gu Liangsheng loves all his life.

"Then you can take it back too, I've been busy lately, and I may not be able to spare time for a while. Take this bracelet back to Wufu Zhai and pass it on to my second aunt on my behalf! Gongsun Xianye asked Gu Liang to say.

Because Gongsun Xianye changed his mind too quickly, so that Gu Liangsheng, who couldn't keep up with Gongsun Xianye's thinking rhythm for a while, subconsciously asked Gongsun Xianye for confirmation: "Is it for Shu Er's grandmother?" ”

"That's right!" Gongsun Xianye explained to Gu Liangsheng, "The New Year is coming, and I haven't bothered to prepare a New Year's gift for the new second aunt who has just entered the door!" Since you don't want this bracelet, then I can only borrow flowers to offer the Buddha again and offer it to my second aunt. Anyway, my queen mother has always wanted to send something to my second aunt, but the second aunt in the past is just a small housekeeper in this Jinhong Water Heart Castle, and my mother is afraid that she will attract unnecessary jealousy from other maids for her second aunt, which will cause her to have a hard time as a housekeeper; So it has been dragged and has not been delivered. But now it's okay, the former housekeeper Shu of Jinhong Shuixin Fort married the second master of the hall and became the second grandmother of the hall of the Jinhong Shuixin Baili family, and she can send whatever she wants, and she is no longer afraid of attracting the jealousy of others for no reason. Because with the current status of the second aunt, no matter how valuable the gift she receives, it is a matter of course, not to mention that this bracelet is not valuable. ”

When Gu Liang heard this, he immediately excused himself to Gongsun Xianye: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm sorry I can't transfer it on your behalf." The gift of the queen's mother's heart, Your Highness, as her son, it is still reasonable. But Your Highness, your status is noble, and I, as a little maid, am not related to you, if I pass on your gift on your behalf, it is really unruly and unseemly. ”

"Hey, where did you mean that? Sheng'er, there are not so many rules between you and me, and we don't talk about those systems. Gongsun Xianye, who didn't know why, said to Gu Liangsheng.

"No, His Royal Highness the Prince, I think there are still rules and good manners between us!" Gu Liangsheng said solemnly to Gongsun Xianye.

Gu Liang said, picked up the empty tea tray on the bookcase as usual, and retreated from the side. It's just that when Gu Liangsheng left this time, he had more resentment than usual.

In fact, what kind of "rules" and "manners" are just some excuses that Gu Liangsheng casually chose in order to make Gongsun Xianye feel that she was deliberately keeping a distance from him and that she was deliberately alienating him.

And the reason why Gu Liangsheng wanted Gongsun Xianye to feel the strangeness between them, and the reason why he was angry and resolutely did not hand over gifts on behalf of Gongsun Xianye, was because Gu Liangsheng was dissatisfied with Gongsun Xianye's gift being too casual.

And this is not reflected in the value of the gift, and has nothing to do with whether the gift itself is expensive or not; This casual feeling that Gu Liangsheng is deeply dissatisfied with is reflected in the source of the gift and the reason and way of giving it.

For these alone, Gongsun Xianye had already done something that made Gu Liangsheng feel casual enough. But Gongsun Xianye, who didn't know what was going on, even intensified his efforts to distribute the gifts to others without hesitation at the next moment when Gu Liangsheng refused the gifts. Even if this other person is Shu Yan as an elder, and not other young women who are threatening to Gu Liangsheng; Gu Liangsheng still felt that Gongsun Xianye's move was so casual that he couldn't say anything, after all, this gift was still given to her Gu Liangsheng at the last moment!

That's why Gu Liangsheng won't hand over gifts on behalf of Gongsun Xianye! She wouldn't let this gift that was originally given to her pass it on through her hands! It seemed as if she had never seen anything so expensive, and besides, she hadn't really seen it; And it's not like she's never seen it, it's commonplace.

As for whether Gongsun Xianye will take the time to go to Wufu Zhai and give the hibiscus jade bracelet to Shu Yan with his own hands, Gu Liangsheng doesn't care! Anyway, in Gu Liangsheng's opinion, Shu Yan is the same as her, so it is not rare to have any valuables such as jade bracelets! After wearing it, it is inconvenient to do work.

I don't know when Gu Liangsheng has been accustomed to thinking about problems with the thinking mode of a maid's voice; Just like at this moment, she would think of wearing a bracelet as inconvenient to work. You know, the princess of Qiguo never needs to worry about trivial things such as cumbersome jewelry that makes daily life inconvenient! Because the princess who stretches out her hands for clothes and opens her mouth for food doesn't need to do any work at all!

As for Gongsun Xianye at this moment, he couldn't help but be confused. Gu Liangsheng had three reasons not to accept his gifts, but he didn't know any of them; He didn't even know why Gu Liangsheng suddenly became alienated from him.

However, I don't know that Gongsun Xianye is really as wooden as Zhong Daxuan, and he doesn't understand the style or even knows nothing; Or is it because Gongsun Xianye has always refused to put his heart to Gu Liangsheng, and has never really taken Gu Liangsheng to heart.

And this is the whole process of Gongsun Xianye giving a gift to Gu Liangsheng for the first time, not only did the gift not be delivered, but also sent Gu Liangsheng angry. I have to say that this gift is better than not giving it. I hope that the next time Gongsun Xianye gives a gift to Gu Liangsheng, he will not be unhappy like this time. I just don't know if there will be a next time, if there will be a chance, if there is still time.

Now that the New Year is approaching, Shu Yan, who is the housekeeper of Jinhong Water Heart Castle in the past, is always busy.

And Shu Yan, who resigned from the position of the housekeeper of Jinhong Shuixin Fort this year and became the second grandmother of Jinhong Shuixin Baili's family, not only does she have to be so busy that her nose is not a nose and her eyes are not eyes; On the contrary, you can raise your hands and watch others busy while being busy, and you can also wave your fingers at will to send others to be busy until they catch the blind.

As for the burden of Jinhong Shuixin Fort directing the procurement and purchase of New Year's goods this year, it naturally fell on Xie Ruixiang, the grandmother who took care of the affairs in the fort.

However, this is the first time in Xie Ruixiang's life to take care of family affairs, and it is an innumerable family affair in the mansion before the end of the year, of course she can't help but be in a hurry. Anyway, no matter how busy she is, it has nothing to do with Shu Yan, who is unofficial and light; No matter how messy she is, she can't rely on Shu Yan, who takes the initiative to retreat.

What's more, Bai Liyuan, who is the head of Shuixin Castle, has already explicitly forbidden Shu Yan to set foot in the affairs of the castle again; And Xie Ruixiang, who finally took over the power of the family, naturally would not like others to meddle in matters within her purview; As for Shu Yan, who is happy to be idle, she is even more lazy to get involved in those trivial, irrelevant and incompatible things that have nothing to do with her.

Moreover, although the person in charge of the family has changed, the person in charge of specific procurement affairs has not changed. You must know that these people were all trained by Shu Yan, and they are capable, faithful and reliable; And not only is he loyal to Shu Yan, the master who trained them, but also loyal to Jin Hongshui's Baili family; And this is Shu Yan's way of training his subordinates differently from others, wholeheartedly and at the same time, single-mindedly for the main, single-minded for the public, and there is no selfishness.

It's a pity that Baili Yuan doesn't know people well and doesn't use people well, so he has to put a capable and reliable talent like Shu Yan aside, or even put it on the shelf; And chasing ducks to the shelves appoints Xie Ruixiang, who knows nothing and has no experience at all.

However, then again, whether it is to appoint Xie Ruixiang or to experience Xie Ruixiang, it is good to save her from being idle all day long and looking east and west to "hunt for treasures"; Besides, fifteen years have passed, and it is time for her to do her best for Jinhong Shuixin Castle and contribute to Jinhong Shuixin's Baili family, and it is not in vain that Jinhong Shuixin Fort has really blessed her for fifteen years, and it is not in vain that the lord of Jinhong Shuixin Fort has truly loved her deeply for half her life.
