224 Gifts
It's better to hurry than to hurry, Yu Jin saw Comrade Uncle Zhang at the door of Yuwang's Mansion.
"Xiaguan has seen Master Zhang." As soon as Yu Jin saw Zhang Juzheng, he immediately saluted respectfully.
Zhang Juzheng paused for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "Yu Xiaoshu is exempt, I didn't expect such a coincidence, they all rushed together." ”
If Qing'er was here, she would definitely have to say a word about the performance of the two, the two obviously didn't look at each other, and secretly stabbed each other, but when they met, they smiled sweeter than the other, and each smiled kinder than the other.
Yu Jin immediately said modestly: "Actually, Yu is not suitable to come here, the prince is too polite, it is the first time to participate in such an important occasion, and I have to mention it to Lord Zhang for a while." ”
"Well said, well said."
As the two walked, they said, unknowingly in the main hall of King Yu's Mansion, King Yu and Xiao Wanli were already waiting.
After some greetings, Zhang Juzheng and Yu Jin began to send New Year's gifts.
It is a gift exchange, after all, before the Chinese New Year, King Yu sent someone to send a New Year gift, and now it is a return gift, all of which are to send some white jade, silk and the like, Yu Jin found that Zhang Juzheng's gift was even more generous than his own "rich man", and it seemed very sincere.
By the way, I almost forgot that he was born as a landlord, and Zhang Juzheng is also a master of money.
Nine times out of ten, I feel that I have lost a lot of points in front of me, and now I am trying my best to make up for it.
It's a pity that when King Yu was poor, this generous gift would definitely move him, but now he has 300,000 taels of silver sent by Yu Jin in his hand, as well as a "gold mine" on the outlying island, and he doesn't look at these small amounts of money.
Zhang Juzheng was a little disappointed when he saw that the congratulatory gifts he had spent so much money and carefully did not get the expected consequences, but he was not discouraged. Because he has second-hand preparation.
"The little prince is getting smarter and smarter." Zhang Juzheng turned to Xiao Wanli in King Yu's arms and said.
When King Yu heard this, he immediately said to Xiao Wanli in his arms: "Wang'er, this is your father's teacher, and you are also called a teacher." ”
"Hello teacher." Xiao Wanli secretly glanced at Zhang Juzheng, timid, as if he was a little scared. But he was a good boy, and he finally called out obediently.
Zhang Juzheng laughed when he heard this, took out a gift box from his sleeve and said: "The little prince is really sensible, come, this is a gift from the lower officials, open it and see if you like it." ”
"Teacher, you really broke the bank, you just wrapped him in New Year's silver the day before yesterday, and now you give it away. Don't spoil the kids too much. King Yu immediately said politely.
"Where, Xiaguan and the little prince fell in love, and I like the little prince from the bottom of my heart, just don't blame the lower official for being abrupt."
"Where is the teacher, this is the blessing of the king." King Yu thought in his heart that the gift to Zhang Juzheng on the Shangyuan Festival would be thicker.
Yuwang, who has an ambiguous masculine temperament, has always been a kind person, which is this. In the eyes of many court officials, this is an excellent quality.
The gift box that Zhang Juzheng gave was very exquisite. And Zhang Juzheng said that he wanted Xiao Wanli to open it to see if he liked it or not, so King Yu accompanied his son to open it.
As soon as the gift box was opened, King Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Okay." Okay, good, the teacher is really thoughtful. ”
There are three objects in the box, which are a three-piece set of pen, ink, and inkstone, each of which is extremely exquisite. The wolf is also inlaid with jade, and it is not ordinary at first glance.
The most amazing thing is that these three pieces are all one size smaller, which is suitable for children to learn and enlighten.
It is clearly tailor-made for Xiao Wanli, and this heart is really attentive and sincere.
This gift, Zhang Juzheng was happy, Yuwang was happy, it can be said that everyone was happy, but the only disharmony was that when Xiao Wanli saw this gift, his face suddenly changed, and he hugged Yuwang's thigh and said: "Father, don't, don't, I don't want this." ”
Although Xiao Wanli is small, he is very clever and has a very good memory, and he suddenly remembered what Yu Jin told him "unintentionally": Zhang Juzheng is a teacher, don't let him move, don't let him play, read and write every day, and if he doesn't write well, he has to slap the palm.
If you don't let you play and don't move, where are the children afraid?
"This, this, could it be that the little prince doesn't like this gift?" Zhang Juzheng's face was a little complicated and said.
He wanted to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Xiao Wanli, because children at this age are very curious, especially when they see adults reading and writing, they like to imitate, and many children like to learn to write, thinking it is an intimate gift.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wanli's reaction was completely unexpected by him.
"Teacher, this child is coquettish, don't take it to heart." King Yu said as he picked up Xiao Wanli and coaxed him.
He also wondered why his baby son had always behaved so strangely today.
Only Yu Jin snickered secretly.
His strategy is still very successful, no matter how shrewd Zhang Juzheng is, he is not omnipotent, and he is ahead of him all of a sudden with his foresight.
Yu Jin gestured to Deng Yong, who came in with him, Deng Yong nodded, and soon, he came in with a large box.
"Little prince, Xia Guan also prepared a gift for me, a gift better than glass marbles." Yu Jin said to Xiao Wanli with a smile.
"Really?" Xiao Wanli suddenly stretched out his little head from King Yu's arms and asked anxiously.
The glass marbles are beautiful and fun, Xiao Wanli is never tired of playing, and when he heard that there was something more interesting than marbles, he was immediately interested.
Yu Jin nodded and said, "Really, don't believe it, just open it and see it, if you don't play well, I'll give you ten beautiful new marbles." ”
"Okay, what you said, if you lie to me, I will ask my father to beat you in the palm of your hand."
As soon as he heard the fun, Xiao Wanli immediately came to his senses, and he didn't spoil anymore, struggled out of King Yu's arms, and ran quickly to Yu Jin, without saying a word, he immediately opened the gift with great interest.
When he opened the big wooden box, he saw a strange thing, the carriage was not like a carriage, the chair was not like a chair, and there were three strange little wheels, and the front one seemed to have two ears, but the "ears" were asymmetrical, one high and one low.
It looks a little weird, but the workmanship is good, and the fine pine wood, each one is beautifully polished, and from a distance, it looks like a fine work of art.
Although he didn't know what it was, Xiao Wanli liked this gift at a glance, and while stroking it, he said curiously: "Yu Xiaoshu, what is this?" ”
Yu Jin smiled and said: "Little prince, this is called a bicycle, it's very fun, come, I'll teach you to play." ”
This is the bicycle of later generations, but it is all wooden, designed by Yu Jin, carefully built by skilled craftsmen, the scientific and technological level of the Ming Dynasty is not high, but the level of craftsmen is not low, they can build ladders, siege vehicles, crossbows, waterwheels and other delicate workpieces, a small bicycle, naturally is a piece of cake.
