Chapter 405 What Gift to Give for Birthday?
Gu Xiangwan's pupils shrank.
Was she deliberately keeping her distance? But none of this matters now, the important thing is that Li Qing is doing well now, and he can rest assured.
"Hehe, let's not talk about things in such a serious tone, I don't know why Imperial Doctor Gu came this time?" Li Qing tried to break the embarrassing situation and avoid having nothing to say.
Gu Xiangwan saw that Li Qing had recovered from the past, so he also smiled and said: "There is really something, two months later is the 60th birthday of the big official's family, the year of the sixtieth year, there will be a big celebration, as a courtier, the birthday gift has to be prepared, I am stuck on this birthday ceremony, Li Niangzi has always had many ways, Gu Lai asked for advice!" ”
"Oh?" Li Qing recalled carefully, it seemed that there was really such a thing. Men who have reached the age of ten are all imaginary, and they are fifty-nine this year, but they are sixty years old.
Tianqi stipulates that both men and women can only hold birthday banquets when they are 60 years old. According to this law, after three years, Jiang's will be sixty, and she will also hold a game for Jiang's at that time.
"Since the gift is for Your Majesty, when the picture is auspicious, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are too ordinary, and the famous calligraphy and painting can be, or do what they like."
"Famous calligraphy and painting? There are a lot of gifts, but the preferences of the big officials, this is ...... He likes ice cracked porcelain, but I'm sure there will be plenty of them. ”
Li Dan propped his chin in his hand and thought about it.
Not only for Gu Xiangwan's consideration, but also for her own sake. After all, they are food and clothing, although the Qiguan sent by their family as the emperor may not be able to look at it, but she can't be sloppy.
"Do you have any opinions?" While Li Qing was thinking, he also wanted to hear Gu Xiangwan's thoughts.
"I ...... I haven't been able to come up with it yet. Gu Xiangwan touched the back of his head helplessly, he had thought of everything Li Qing had just thought, but they were all vetoed.
Li Qing nodded, she thought about it and felt that there was only one way to do it. The so-called art industry has a specialization, Gu Xiangwan is a doctor with superb medical skills, and it is not difficult to use his profession to give gifts.
"Last time I heard that you only saw His Majesty alone, you can give a gift separately and use what you are good at." After Li Qing finished speaking, Gu Xiangwan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized: "I understand." ”
Gu Xiangwan got up and saluted Li Qing, and then said, "Thank you Li Niang!" ”
Li Qinghui smiled: "Imperial Doctor Gu doesn't need to send a post if he has something to do in the future, just send someone to say goodbye." ”
"Okay." Gu Xiangwan's heart suddenly injected a trace of warmth, and when he turned around, he attached one hand to his chest, which was throbbing and throbbing, and the speed was a little fast. Holding back the throbbing in his heart, Gu Xiangwan said goodbye to Li Qing and left.
Jiang Shi walked out of the back door and paced in front of Li Qing.
"Ah Qing, what is this Imperial Doctor Gu doing when he comes to our house?" Jiang was grateful to Gu Xiangwan, not only because Gu Xiangwan and his team of imperial doctors eliminated the plague in Jinzhou that year, but also because he was willing to risk his life to save people on the racecourse last time.
It was her grandson who saved.
"Come for the emperor's birthday in two months, mother, we should also prepare, what do you think is good?" Li Qing inadvertently diverted Jiang's attention.
What the? The Emperor's Birthday Gift?
Jiang couldn't help but recall the first time she saw the emperor that day, such as the majesty of the Son of Heaven, in this majesty concealed two points of kindness, and the rest was all ruthlessly piled up, giving people a feeling that they could only be watched from a distance and could not be blasphemed.
It was the first time she had seen this battle, and chatting with a few old guys before finally eliminated the little fear in her heart, but when she saw the legendary queen again, she was immediately very nervous. Fortunately, her own A-Qing has been comforting her, otherwise she would have been scared to pee.
In the end, Yun Ji had an accident, she was not scared to pee, but her soul was almost scared. If it weren't for the fact that as the head of the family, she had to hold on, and she would have passed out long ago.
Years of hard life have made her develop patience for hardship, and she has to watch Li Qing and Gu Xiangwan save people. This was a sigh of relief, but who knew that the emperor was coming, and she also witnessed the assassination of the emperor.
In this regard, she can only say that it is too dangerous, she wants to take Yun and go back to the countryside, and it is better to face a long-tongued woman than to face a whimper at any time. It was a thrilling and exciting day.
In the next few days, many people sent invitations or postes, but she and Ah Qing refused on the grounds that they were frightened.
Over time, there are fewer invitations.
It also ended up clean.
"Mother? What are you thinking? Li Qing saw Jiang standing in place, and reminded loudly.
Jiang Shi was suddenly awakened, and his thoughts were still on the emperor and empress he had seen Tianqi, and he was at a loss.
"Uh~ nothing, it's just something." Jiang Shi haha.
Li Qing held his forehead, thinking that he could use expressions such as nervousness, shock, and fear? I'll be a mother, let's manage my expression well. Li Qing concluded that Jiang was thinking nonsense again.
"Isn't there two months left, and our small family also gives gifts to the emperor, so how much does he have to collect a day, and get rich! The old lady also wants to do it. Jiang whispered.
“……”
"When A-Niang celebrates her sixtieth birthday, I will definitely let you receive the gift softly." Li Qing smiled mischievously.
You always have to pay it back when you come out to mix. Like the emperor's family, every item received has to be registered like them, and when the courtier's family has something to do, he has to return the gift to show the emperor's favor to the courtiers.
Generally speaking, only a high-ranking person has this honor, ordinary officials, forget it!
This is the so-called power of the emperor.
Li Qing is different, everyone who comes to the door to give Jiang family gifts, she must correspond one by one, which is the so-called "courtesy exchange".
So, it's really a hassle.
It is not unreasonable for Tianqi to stipulate that you can only start celebrating your birthday when you are 60 years old, at least in the first 60 years, you can save a lot of things, right?
"Hey, let's not engage in those fictitious things, the official birthday gift, you can send it over if you see what is good in our family, I hope he won't dislike it." Jiang shook his hand, glanced at the delicacy around him, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had nothing to handle.
In the past, the old people in the village had 60 or even 70 birthdays, and they brought a piece of pork or a pair of pigs into the water as a gift. Now the place and identity are different, and the big family doesn't make money, not to mention that this big family is still the emperor.
Jiang didn't have a good idea for a while.
"I have a way, so don't be sad about this." Li Qing half-squinted his eyes to meet the just right sun, Jiang Shi looked at Li Qing along the light, and vaguely felt that she was glowing with a little silver light, which was very good-looking.
"Since you have an idea, then you won't have too many consultants for your mother." Jiang echoed.
