Chapter 25: The Gourd Bottle
Kang Damao took the two of them back to Luohe Kang's house by boat, and at noon Kang Damao's mother really prepared a table of delicious food, Erhu and Linglong also sat on the table, and Fuji didn't treat them as outsiders.
"Say, if you come back this time, what do you want me to ask for, if your kid is fine, he won't take the initiative to come back." At the dinner table, Rehabilitation Ji put down his chopsticks and stroked his beard and asked.
"Father, you are still wise, I want to borrow your gourd bottle and use it, and I will return it to you when I run out." Kang Damao said with a hippie smile while eating.
"What gourd bottle? That's the Yuan blue and white peacock flower pattern eight-sided gourd bottle, I know that you will not be good when you come back, don't borrow it. Rehabilitation Ji didn't give Kang Damao any face and refused directly, he was so angry that he almost left the chair.
Kang's mother pushed Rehabilitation Ji with her arm next to her, and Rehabilitation Ji was sitting in danger at this time, listen to what this kid has to say first.
"This time is really a good thing, I opened 'Kangjing Shengshi' in Zhenjiang Mansion, you should already know it, I want to use your gourd bottle this time to open our Kang family's reputation in the porcelain industry." Kang Damao talked eloquently.
"I said that it is the Yuan blue and white peacock flower pattern eight-sided gourd bottle, if you want to mention anything to me again, just get out." Rehabilitation Ji glared and said, he couldn't put down his porcelain collection, and now it seemed to be worthless from his son's mouth, which made him very unhappy.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, you can borrow it from me, and ensure that it will be returned to Zhao, when will your son lose money in business, Erhu, serve the food." After Kang Damao finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Erhu.
Erhu was also very clever, and directly stood up and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed it to Master Kang, and Rehabilitation Ji took it and counted it, a full 120,000 taels, and he looked at Kang Damao with some surprise.
"Father, 100,000 taels will be repaid to you, and the other 20,000 taels will be regarded as interest on you, so it is not difficult to borrow well and borrow again." Kang Damao said with a smile.
Erhu also sat down proudly and continued to eat.
"What's so proud of making a little money, eating." Rehabilitation Ji put away the silver ticket and picked up the chopsticks again and began to eat, he was indifferent on the surface, and even hit Kang Damao a little, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart, the nature of business made him have a rod and scale in his heart, and only those who could make money would be recognized by him.
"Father, you agreed to borrow me! Rest assured, you won't be disappointed. Kang Damao leaned on the table and stared at Rehabilitation Ji and said.
"Eat, you still have friends here, let's talk about it after eating." Rehabilitation Ji glanced at Linglong, who was sitting at the table and kept smiling, and said.
"It's okay, this is my brother Xiaolong, and he's not an outsider." Kang Damao said that he hugged Linglong heartlessly, giggling.
Linglong quickly sat up straight, and unconsciously pushed Kang Damao, his face flushed slightly.
Kang Mu looked at Linglong with a smile at this time, as if she had seen something.
After a meal, Rehabilitation Ji took Kang Damao to the study to drink tea and talk about things, Erhu didn't go back to Kangdian for a long time, Kang Damao gave him some silver, and gave him a small half a day to let him go home to visit his parents, Erhu slipped away happily.
In the courtyard, only Linglong was left, sitting in the pavilion and waiting for Kang Damao boredly.
"Xiaolong, wait for Mao'er here, you come with your aunt, and your aunt has something to tell you." Kang Mu walked over and beckoned to Linglong.
When Linglong saw that it was Kang Damao's mother, she immediately stood up, then nodded, and respectfully followed Kang's mother for a walk in the manor.
Kangjia Manor is very large, there are many halls, there are halls, foyers, sedan halls, flower halls, gatehouses, main houses and so on; There are also many courtyards, there are courtyards for residents, courtyards for raising flowers, courtyards for raising fish, and courtyards for listening to operas.
Linglong looked up at the courtyard in the courtyard, the lifelike wood carvings on the beams, the carved lattice windows, and the golden plaques on the entrance hall all showed the illustrious wealth of the Kang family.
Why did Kang's mother take her to visit the Kang family? Is it just a simple show off of wealth, Linglong thought about it and immediately overturned this assumption, the Kang mother in front of her was not an ordinary person at first glance, and her gestures were all noble.
It took me all the way through several courtyards to the courtyard where the female dependents lived, that is, the living place of Kang's mother and Kang's father, which was a very private place, and it was impossible for ordinary outsiders to come here, especially the young man who followed Kang Damao into the Kang family for the first time.
"What's your name, kid? Why do you want to dress up as a man and follow Mao'er? Kang Mu stood in the room and said gently.
"You see it all? I, I ......" Linglong was immediately a little flustered when she saw through it, she didn't know how to explain it, in fact, it was more in front of such a temperamental and mature woman, she felt that all her thoughts could be seen through by the other party.
"Don't be nervous, child, my aunt is from here, you just treat this as your own home, sit down and talk." Kang Mu said and came over and took Linglong's hand and sat down.
Linglong felt warm in her heart, tears almost flowed, she had no father and mother since she was a child, and she had always been watched by several brothers grow up, and now she suddenly faced such a gentle and kind woman so that she immediately felt like a relative.
Fortunately, a maid brought tea over, which made Linglong ease her mood a little, she gently took off the hat on her head, took off her coiled hair, and restored her daughter's body, and immediately had a fresh and refined beauty.
"Aunt, my name is actually Xiang Linglong, my family lives in Yangzhou, I met Brother Kang in the Cao Gang, I can't hide it from the Cao Gang leader Xiang Yunlong is my own eldest brother, Brother Kang and my eldest brother are sworn by, Brother Kang is a weak scholar, my eldest brother asked me to follow Brother Kang to protect him." Linglong said obediently, she felt that she didn't need to hide it from the other party.
"Linglong, yes, the name is good, the person is also beautiful, you and your eldest brother are both benevolent and righteous people, Mao'er will be much more relieved to have you to protect me." Mother Kang brought a cup of tea to Linglong and praised her.
Linglong immediately got up to catch it, and she was praised by Kang's mother, and her heart was suddenly beautiful, as sweet as eating honey.
"Speaking of which, I also have a fate with you, I feel very cordial when I see you, the first time we meet, come, my aunt will give you a gift." As she spoke, Kang Mu walked to the jewelry table and took out a white round jade bracelet from the jewelry box.
She slowly walked in front of Linglong, took Linglong's little hand and put it on Linglong's wrist.
Linglong kept thinking about refusing in her heart, but when Kang's mother wore it for her, her heart was pounding, her heart was almost jumping to her throat, her mind was blank, and she couldn't refuse at all.
Linglong is like floating in the clouds at the moment, I just feel that happiness came too suddenly, could it be that my aunt accepted her, and she could always follow Brother Kang in the future, and then ......
Linglong didn't dare to think about it anymore, everything was too dreamy, and she was so excited that she wanted to find a place where no one was screaming now.
"Auntie, I, I ......" Linglong looked at Mother Kang in front of her, she held the jade bracelet in one hand, and didn't know what to do.
"Child, follow Mao'er well in the future, my son I understand, Mao'er is a kind-hearted child, as long as you treat him sincerely, he will definitely treat you sincerely in the future, and my aunt is optimistic about you." Kang Mu's last few words were said with a smile, relieving Linglong's nervous look.
Linglong stayed with Kang's mother for the whole day, the two were as graceful as a mother and daughter, and the intimacy made the maids of Kangfu secretly smack their tongues, is this the future hostess of Kangfu? It's a pity that she is not in the house, otherwise she will get along well, and maybe she will be able to ascend to heaven by herself in the future.
Kang Damao has successfully gotten the gourd bottle from his father's recovery Ji, no, no, no, it is a blue and white peacock flower pattern eight-sided gourd bottle, and the second tiger also went home to visit his relatives and came back early, but the two waited at the gate of the manor for a long time and were stunned that they didn't wait for Xiaolong, and asked the people in Kang's mansion that they were called by the old lady.
Kang Damao and Erhu scratched their hair, looking confused, what is the situation?
When Kang Mu came out with Linglong's hand, seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing, the jaws of the two people at the door almost fell to the ground in shock, this little dragon is too good at it, and he actually made the old lady so happy.
Of course, at this time, Linglong had already coiled her hair, put on her hat and resumed her manly appearance.
The two of them always felt a little awkward when they looked at the current Xiaolong, and they couldn't tell where the two elm heads were awkward, so they didn't think much about it.
Erhu stood aside and said a little depressed: "Brother Da Mao, the old lady is not so close to me, Xiaolong is the first time to come to our Kang family, it's too much." ”
"Yes, it's really too much, when we go back later, let's take care of him, ask him what he talked about with my mother in the past half a day, this guy is not small, he dares to go behind my back to please my mother, hum!" Kang Damao also said extremely unhappily.
The two psychologically shady guys are now in a mess, but the kind-hearted Linglong still doesn't know anything about it.
