"Jiao'er, I haven't come to see you for a long time, how are you? Is Xiao Huai'an okay with you? ”

"I'm naturally fine, Huai'an is also like a pearl in my hand, it's better than before, I have an orthodox identity, but I live under the eyelids of others in a weird way."

Su Jiao raised her chin arrogantly, and wanted to fool him a few words, but after all, she felt uncomfortable, and it was also for the revenge of her original body, so she said a few more words, but she didn't know if Su Zhongshi could understand it, and she was really reflecting.

After that, Su Jiao quietly turned her eyes sideways, and saw that Su Zhongshi really lowered his head in shame, and the whole person looked a lot cramped.

"That's good, he's good to you. Happy New Year, as is customary, you deserve it. Su Zhongshi nodded and sighed, I don't know if it was because he suddenly felt the loneliness in the house after Yang Ruopei left, so he changed his mind.

As he spoke, he also took out a bulging red paper bag from his sleeve, and Mr. Zhiren took it into Su Jiao's hand.

"What is this?" Su Jiao was very puzzled, feeling that there was still a little residual warmth on the paper bag, and a little reflex nausea suddenly appeared in her heart, and she hurriedly wanted to return the things.

"New Year's money? How old am I, I don't need it, you better take it back, from now on we will go our separate ways, without me, you still have a daughter who feels sorry for you. ”

"It's not just this, you open it up and take a look." Su Zhongshi was speechless for a while, and only reached out and pushed back the hand that Su Jiao handed over.

Su Jiao had no choice but to suppress her brows, listened to his words in disbelief and opened the paper package, and found that in addition to some broken silver for the New Year's money that went through the motions, there was also a small flower hairpin carved from jade.

Small white flowers and a green green leaf, carved vividly, in the center is also inlaid with a small golden bead, at first glance looks simple and elegant and gorgeous, worn on the head, whether with formal wear or ordinary clothes, will not look abrupt, but quite heartfelt.

"This is your favorite hairpin when you were a child, but at that time you were still young, and your sister and you were going to rush to wear it, and my father kept it with me for the sake of fairness, and now it's time to return it to you."

Speaking of which, this little hairpin was originally the original.

This Su Zhongshi didn't speak, but fortunately, he touched the minefield as soon as he opened his mouth. Su Jiao instantly felt angry, and without the slightest hesitation, she forcibly stuffed the hairpin back and sent it back to his hand.

"I'm not uncommon to have something that has been in someone else's place for a lifetime. Now that I'm past the age of wanting it, the so-called good horses don't eat back grass, I hope Master Su can also understand this truth. ”

Fairness, in order not to make Su Lian angry, even the original owner does not deserve to have this so-called fairness?

Su Jiao took a deep breath, easily held back the sore emotions in her heart, and returned to the main hall with a strong spirit, without even looking back at Su Zhongshi.

In the main hall, after the second performance of the guzheng is over, it is time for the princes to toast the emperor and give birthday gifts.

Su Jiao took advantage of everyone's happiness and quietly returned to Xiao Huai'an's side, but found that Xiao Huai'an was completely unmoved.

"Why are you still sitting there? They're all going to be ready to give gifts, even if we're our own people, we have to pretend anyway. ”

Su Jiao blinked, and gently poked Xiao Huai'an with her elbow in some confusion. Xiao Huai'an quietly returned his eyes and said in a low voice.

"I have already sent the gift, I have already said the toast, the string of Buddhist beads in His Majesty's hand, and a copy of the Buddhist scriptures were prepared by me, didn't you see it?"

"Ah, I see, it's true that you are different from others when you give a gift."

Su Jiao smiled embarrassedly, no wonder before going to bed these days, Xiao Huai'an still had to write calligraphy on the desk for a while, Su Jiao thought he was so diligent and hardworking, it turned out to be for this reason.

It's a pity that every time at that time, Su Jiao fell asleep early, and the mystery was officially revealed today.

Su Jiao gently wiped the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, a little embarrassed, and when she turned her head, she saw that on the red carpet in the center of the main hall in front of her, Xu Ruzhu was holding a very well-made wooden box. Sitting in a wheelchair, Yu Feibai pushed it up step by step, and then handed it over to Dequan, who came to get the gift.

"The children congratulate their father and the emperor on the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and wish the father and emperor happiness like the East China Sea and a long life."

Xu Ruzhu lowered his head, looking sincere, and asked Concubine Xian to look excited. Concubine Xian was looking forward to the moment when she was giving gifts, and Xu Rulie, who was the second son, was not there, and she was the most able to save the queen's face, and sure enough, the queen's face had always been very ugly.

Then when Dequan put the wooden box in his hand in front of the emperor, as soon as the emperor opened it, there was not much fluctuation on his face, Su Jiao sat below, and could only see a faint golden light flashing, and then closed the box, and there was nothing.

"Erchen sincerely congratulates the emperor on his old age, so he specially presents a ginger sculpture made of gold, as well as a rare fiery red coral, I hope my father can like it."

Ginger sculpture, what brain circuit does this belong to? Homophonic stalks are subject to deductions. The corners of Su Jiao's eyes twitched, and she spared no effort to complain on the seat.

But even if this gift is extraordinarily peculiar, it is made of gold, and coral is also a very rare and valuable item in ancient times, the emperor nodded, and the right to accept this piece of Xu Ruzhu's heart.

"Yes, you're really bothered. Father knows your filial piety, that is, you don't know when your leg injury will be healed, if you can recover early, when spring comes, it is better to go hunting with your father. ”

When the words landed, the look on the queen's face became more and more dim, and the two sides contrasted with it, Concubine Xian's side was completely like a big victory, and Xu Ruzhu was also very happy below, but her face was still pretending to be extremely calm.

"Thank you for your father's care, Erchen will definitely live up to his father's expectations, but when his leg will recover, Erchen is not sure," Xu Ruzhu lowered his head and sighed, as if he was pitiful, but the next moment the conversation suddenly changed.

"Erchen remembers that the second emperor brother has been in a wheelchair before, he has been sitting for so many years, the wheelchair has not been broken, presumably the quality must be good, Erchen's current wheelchair is really a little awkward, I wonder if my father can be willing to give the second emperor's brother's wheelchair to Erchen?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Jiao, who was sitting at the top, and the little prince were both excited spirits at the same time.

Just sent such a small gift, I thought about asking for something, and I had to snatch Xu Ruyu's wheelchair, are you thinking about peaches to eat? It's just that the poor others have already gone immortal, and the impression left in the emperor's mind is still being used by you like this.

Su Jiao's eyes widened angrily, and her two hands quietly clenched into fists under the table, their strength was so great that they seemed to be ready to pinch the hand stove in their hands.

"This-" As soon as he heard Xu Ruzhu mention Xu Ruyu, the emperor also appeared in a trance for a moment, hesitated, but did not agree immediately, but subconsciously looked in the direction of Xu Ruye.

After Xu Ruzhu finished speaking, he glanced down at Xu Ruye's direction with some meaning, and thought in his heart: You are not the only one who knows how to use Xu Ruyu to attract the attention of your father.

Xu Ruye also frowned, looking at the well-behaved and lively child, in fact, he also had his own thoughts. He held the gift he had prepared, but he didn't speak, just asked Xu Yi behind him to help.

Xu Yi walked out, successfully blocked Xu Ruzhu's gaze at Xu Ruye, and bowed his hand to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness's wheelchair was burned together as early as the day when His Royal Highness was buried."

Fortunately, it was burned, otherwise it would have fallen into Xu Ruzhu's hands and would have been harmed by him, which made people feel sick to see it. Su Jiao listened and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Ruzhu was full of shock, not believing that Xu Yi would be willing to do such a thing, but the emperor directly believed it and nodded, "Since this is the case, then forget it, if you are not used to sitting, let the craftsman help you improve it another day, anyway, you don't have to sit on it for a lifetime, just bear with it for the time being." ”

"—Yes." Xu Ruzhu had no choice but to nod and agree. Whether he will sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life is really hard to say.

He thought that he had seen that his legs had become like that in the morning, and he had already made some preparations in his heart, but unexpectedly, a series of plans for his future affairs were rejected when he just asked the emperor for Xu Ruyu's wheelchair, which was really not a good sign.

Xu Ruzhu was sullen, and then pushed back by Feibai, and Concubine Xian was also slightly surprised to retract the smile she had just now.

Then Xu Yi also stepped back, and Xu Ruye just got a clean space and stepped forward to deliver the things he had prepared to the emperor.

This time, the emperor didn't let Dequan change his hand to take it, but directly let Xu Ruye walk to him, watching him kowtow to himself with his little short legs, and then handed over the few booklets in his hand that he didn't know, and the emperor rarely evoked a fatherly smile on his face.

"Erchen doesn't say so many nice things like the emperor's brother, so I can only wish my father eternal health and joy, and my dynasty will always be peaceful and peaceful, that is,"

Xu Ruye's embarrassed face turned red, and as he spoke, he put the booklet in his hand to the emperor and helped open the first one.

"These are the lessons that Erchen learned from Taifu during this time, Erchen doesn't know what to send to be able to get his father's love, but Erchen thinks that his father must have seen a lot of various rare treasures, so Erchen has to be a little shabby to send his father's homework that has been appreciated by Taifu these days, hoping to make his father smile."

is worthy of being the apprentice taught by Xu Ruyu, as soon as Xu Ruye's explanation was finished, Su Jiao couldn't help but want to give him a thumbs up in her heart.
