454. Gifts
And that wasn't all, as one of them untied the rope tarpaulin from the wagon full of gifts, and searched for a while inside, finally bringing out a delicate gift box.
also handed it to Xiao Qi, "This is the master's congratulations to the girl on her fifteenth birthday and the ceremony." ”
Little Seven who got the letter and the gift: ......
She really didn't think that Brother Wen had already left, and she still remembered her fifteen years old and her ceremony, especially such a letter.
Look at the face of the eldest brother of the father, that is, the mother and grandfather and the third nephew are slightly better, and even the face of the eldest brother Qiu standing on the side is very unsightly.
Everyone's reaction, Xiao Qi almost couldn't help but roll his eyes, isn't it just a very normal letter and a late gift? As for it?
Holding the letter and gifts, Xiao Qi smiled helplessly.
Seeing that the little seventh girl accepted the letter and gifts, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, pretending not to see the face of the male host of the Lu family, and hurriedly unloaded the gifts purchased on the carriage.
There are more than a dozen pieces of cloth of various colors, precious tea, some bottles and jars, and all kinds of Kyoto specialties, even books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, etc., in short, a car full of gifts.
"Master Lu, Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, these are all gifts from the masters to the Lu family."
Looking at the empty carriage, the two said with a sigh of relief, finally completing half of the task.
Looking at the various gifts on the ground, tea and many other gifts, Lu Zhongshou and Wei glanced at each other helplessly, this gift is too heavy, it is impossible for them to bring it back, and now they can only accept it.
Fortunately, these two people also came with a mission, and Lu Zhongshou pondered that he could only make up for it in food.
Fortunately, there is still a lot of food stored at home, and the new grain is about to be harvested soon, so Lu Zhongshou is not worried about this.
"Let your master break the bank, and when you go back, you have to bother the two of you to thank your master on behalf of our Lu family." Lu Zhongshou said politely.
"Master Lu, don't worry, the little one will definitely bring the words."
As soon as they finished speaking, Wang happened to come over with the brewed tea.
Lu Zhongshou beckoned the two of them to sit down and drink some tea, and the two of them sat down without being pretentious and obedient, and drank a bowl of hot tea.
The tea bowl here is empty, and the Wang family over there hurriedly filled it again, after such a long journey, how can a bowl of tea quench your thirst?
After pouring the bowl of tea, Wang put the teapot aside and hurriedly walked towards the back kitchen.
When she was boiling tea just now, she had already instructed several daughters-in-law to kill chickens, and took out a piece of bacon from the warehouse, so she had to make a few good dishes.
They don't care what kind of subordinates are not inferior, what guards are not guarded? It's all guests from afar, and at the very least, it should make people feel at home.
After drinking the tea, the two took out a few silver tickets from their bodies and handed them to Lu Fuzi, who was sitting opposite them, saying that they were the silver money for buying grain this time.
With the gift of the big car in front of him, Lu Zhongshou would never accept this silver ticket, but these two people acted on orders, and they would never dare not pay the silver.
In the end, it was Lu Zhongshou who said cruelly, if the silver ticket is used, the Lu family's grain will not be sold, let them pull the empty car back, but these two can only temporarily take the silver ticket back.
Seeing this, Lu Zhongshou and the old man on the side smiled lightly.
Here, Qingshan and Qiu Jing temporarily moved these gifts back to the warehouse under the old man's instructions, Xiao Qi saw that there was nothing to do with her here, so she put the letter and gifts in her hand back into the room and walked to the back yard with her mother.
She wants to pack up the things that the two of them took away with her mother, and Xiao Qi estimates that these two people will not stay too long, and they should leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest.
After cleaning up, the remaining eggs and duck eggs at home were all neatly stacked in wooden barrels, and two buckets were stacked.
Wei also brought out the few pickled salted duck eggs left at home with the jars.
Glancing at the vegetable patch behind him, Wei thought about it, and sorted out the dried vegetables that he couldn't finish eating before, and packed all kinds of vegetables into two burlap bags.
Fresh vegetables are definitely not good, too much time is spent on the road, and halfway through, the vegetables should be almost rotten.
However, the eggs and sweet potatoes produced in the field at home also taste very good, and these forbidden ones can be cleaned up.
These things were put in the cellar dedicated to holding vegetables, Xiao Qi volunteered to go down to the cellar, picked up some of the better ones, packed out two bags with burlap bags, and carried them out lightly.
Then Wei took out two-thirds of the few remaining bacon in the family and put it in a bag as well.
There are also dried mushrooms and dried fungus picked from the mountains are also packed out, but fortunately there is a lot of stock at home, otherwise there is really not much to do.
Of course, the general had a bamboo tube of honey in his heart, and Wei also went into the room and took it out.
When he went back to the room to get the honey, Wei couldn't help but think that this General Wen was really a knowledgeable person, and he tasted the difference of this honey so quickly.
Wei was not reluctant, after all, the honey was gone, and within a few days, the girl would come back with a few tubes.
As for whether the girl came back from the mountain? Weiss said she didn't worry about these things.
The mother and daughter sorted out all the things they could think of when it was dark and put them in the barn for the time being.
On the other side, Qingshan and Qiu Jing, who had packed all the gifts, went to the backyard and handed the letter to their eldest son, who was studying seriously.
Lu Shengzhi Shengmao was very surprised to take the letter in his hand, they were really surprised, as for Shengye when he was in the courtyard, he already knew it, and there was no sense of surprise.
Wen Gu has been gone for such a long time, to be honest, the brothers will still think of discussing him after resting, mainly because they don't know whether Wen Gu arrived safely in Kyoto, and now they are completely relieved to receive a reply.
Several people couldn't wait to open the envelope, and the beginning of the letter was admittedly all kinds of greeting words, and then told them everything they had encountered on the road.
This is not a passing mention of the letter to Uncle Lu, but a careful description of the dangers encountered on the road.
Lu Shengzhi couldn't help but worry about it, but fortunately, it was all clear in the letter, and in the end, they all turned the danger into a disaster, and a few people completely put their hearts into their stomachs.
Then there are some descriptions of Kyoto, and telling them that their grandfather is getting better, and that he has really taken over the shogun's mansion, and every day he either learns the art of war with his grandfather, or goes to the army in the suburbs to train.
In short, the schedule is full, and at the end I express my thoughts and some greetings to them.
The brothers couldn't help but look at it again, and when they learned that he was all right, they really put their hearts at ease.
Be careful to put your heart down, and this letter will be shown to them in a while?
Qingshan Qiu Jing, who had never left, took in the rich expressions of their letters.
Qingshan couldn't help but ask curiously what his sons said in the letter?
Sheng Zhi was also simple, there was nothing private on the letter, and he didn't say that he couldn't be seen by the rest of the family, so he took out the received letter again and handed it to his father.
Aoyama took the letter unceremoniously and looked at it very quickly.
A lot of things are written in just a few pages, and almost everything that happened during this period of reminiscence is included.
After reading the letter, Qingshan knew the hardships on the way to relive his past.
Fortunately, he finally arrived in Kyoto without danger and inherited the Shogun's Mansion.
As for the general's health mentioned in the letter, he knew about it when he was in the front yard of Aoyama, so he didn't think it was too surprising.
