Chapter 43: Return of the Gift

Ah Liang looked at the West Chamber and closed the window, Gu Yutang didn't look at them again, while grinding the ink, he looked at Jiang Zhiming with a flat face and quipped: "Childe, did you just see it?" The girl of the Gu family stared at you for a while, and the Chengxin paper in the big box behind was also sent by the girl of the Gu family early in the morning. ”

"Didn't you say that those Chengxin papers were sent to me by the Seventh Master? How did she become a girl from the Gu family? Jiang Zhiming didn't stop writing, and turned his head to look at Ah Liang, who was stupidly happy behind him.

"Aren't I afraid that as soon as Childe hears that it was sent by the girl of the Gu family, Childe will not accept it? I had to push that Gu Qiye sent it over, so that the son would accept it. Ah Liang didn't dare to raise his head to look at Jiang Zhiming, and continued to lower his head to study the ink.

"Ah Liang, who taught you to lie to me like this? Isn't it the girl from the Gu family?" Jiang Zhiming was still writing his words with his head down, but he was talking.

"Childe, there's nothing to do. I've only met the girl of the Gu family a few times, and I haven't said a few words, where would the girl of the Gu family teach me to be such a liar? Those heart-warming papers were sent by the girl of the Gu family early in the morning by the Ahua girl beside her. Ah Liang Yanmo's hands trembled a little, if Jiang Zhiming knew that he had been ordered by Gu Yutang to deceive him, then he could only go around without food today.

In fact, Jiang Zhiming hadn't gotten up early this morning, Gu Yutang came over, and sent the Chengxin paper over, and helped him prepare this set of rhetoric. said that the Chengxin paper was given by Gu Liming, the seventh master of the Gu family, so that Jiang Zhiming would accept it, if it was given by her, Jiang Zhiming would definitely not accept it.

Ah Liang saw that Gu Yutang was interested in Jiang Zhiming, so he took charge of this matter without authorization, he didn't want to make Jiang Zhiming unhappy because of this matter.

"Ah Liang, since you said that this ten-knife Chengxin paper was sent by the Gu family's girl to Ah Hua, where did you go early this morning? Why didn't I see you at breakfast?" Jiang Zhiming put down the pen in his hand, threw the pen into the pen wash and soaked it, and all of a sudden, the originally clear water became pitch black.

"Childe, I'm ......" Ah Liang looked at Jiang Zhiming and said hesitantly.

Childe, in fact, these Chengxin papers were personally sent by the Gu family girl. Ah Liang has said this sentence in his heart I don't know how many times, but in the end he swallowed it and didn't say it.

Since he promised to help Gu Yutang keep this secret, then he can't leak this secret, and he still has to be a little honest in life and work.

In fact, Jiang Zhiming had already guessed that these Chengxin papers were sent by Gu Yutang personally, because when Ah Liang went out this morning, he woke him up, he stood in the crack of the door and saw Gu Yutang dressed as a maid, and handed Ah Liang a big box, which must have been the Chengxin paper he had just used.

What a stupid girl, if you really want to send him away, you can come openly, hide and hide like this, others still think that Ah Liang and her private teaching.

Jiang Zhiming turned around and looked at the ten knives of Chengxin paper behind him, Huizhou's Chengxin paper is a rare thing, as clean as jade, thin and smooth, it can be called a must, and the price is better than gold.

Because the quality of the Chengxin paper produced in the past few years has become worse and worse, like the ones sent by Gu Yutang this morning, the texture is hard, I don't know how much gold it should be worth, if his father sees so much Chengxin paper, maybe he can't walk anymore.

"Ah Liang, you go to my big box and take the box lake pen to the Gu family girl, it will be my return gift, thank her for sending me so much Chengxin paper." Jiang Zhiming looked at Ah Liang, he was really a guy with his elbow turned out, he didn't want to say that these Chengxin papers were sent by the Gu family's girl, and he had to sacrifice his box of valuable lake pens to return the gift, it was really a loser.

"Childe, are you really willing?" It didn't take long for Ah Liang to dig out the box of lake pens from Jiang Zhiming's big box.

It was a black lacquered box with several lifelike lotus flowers carved on the outside of the box, and when you opened the box, you saw that there were a lot of lake pens inside, and each pen was also carved with a small pattern.

Ah Liang still remembers that this was Jiang Zhiming's tenth birthday, and the old Dingwu Marquis collected the lake pens for Jiang Zhiming, each of which was very valuable. Usually, Jiang Zhiming is reluctant to use it and keeps locking it in the box.

Jiang Zhiming still glanced at his box of lake pens, in the end, his grandfather collected it for him, and sent it out like this, it was absolutely fake to say that he was not distressed. He only hopes that the girl in the Gu family can cherish these lake pens, and it will be in vain for him to endure the pain of cutting his love.

"What's reluctant, in the end, it's a box of lake pens, I have it, what about giving her a box?" Jiang Zhiming said this on his lips, but he was so distressed in his heart that out of sight was pure, and now he wished that Ah Liang would send this box lake pen out quickly.

Ah Liang couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his son-in-law. His own son-in-law is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he can't be reluctant to give it to him, so he asked him to send it to Gu Yutang.

Ah Liang took out the box lake pen from Jiang Zhiming's hand, opened the door, and went to the west chamber where Gu Yutang was.

On the side of the West Chamber, Ah Hua changed several bowls of ice water one after another to put in Gu Yutang's mouth, but the redness and swelling in his mouth refused to be eliminated. Gu Yutang still looked teary-eyed, "Ahua, it's all your fault, pour me such a hot bowl of water directly and let me drink it." ”

"I complain that the slave didn't tell the girl in advance, which caused so many bubbles in the girl's mouth, and I will go back to the old lady later, and ask the old lady to ask the girl to ask a doctor to come and prescribe a few pairs of anti-inflammatory medicines." Ah Hua said, continuing to pound the ice cubes in the large bowl.

At this time, Ah Liang had already arrived at the West Chamber, knocked on the door, and said, "Girl of the Gu family, my son-in-law ordered me to send a box of lake pens over, saying that it was a return gift for you." ”

Before Ah Hua could open the door, Gu Yutang had already gone to open the door, stood in the room and said to Ah Liang: "Your son-in-law knows that I gave those Chengxin papers?" You told him?"

"Girl of the Gu family, I didn't tell our son-in-law, it was our son-in-law who guessed it. He also said that these lake pens were given to the girl as a return gift. Ah Liang said, and handed the box lake pen in his hand to Gu Yutang's hand.

"Don't you have anything to say to me? Just let you give this thing to me?" Gu Yutang glanced at Dongxiang, didn't see Jiang Zhiming, and asked rhetorically.

"Nope. It's not too early, the girl of the Gu family still rests early, the carriage has been set, and we will leave for Kunming later. As soon as Ah Liang finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of someone waving to him on the east side, as if he had something to order, and he passed.

Jiang Zhiming didn't have anything to say to her? What a bastard boy! Gu Yutang was angry, and closed the door fiercely.

Ah Hua looked at Gu Yutang holding a box and didn't know what it was, and after taking it, he opened it and found that it was actually a box of lake pens, Ah Hua was a little strange, the son of the Jiang family was so generous, and sent a box of lake pens to her girl.

But her girl neither writes nor draws, so what is she doing with a box of pens?

Suddenly, Ah Hua remembered that a few days ago, the Lin family gave Gu Yutang ten knives of clear paper, and when she sorted out the box this morning, she found that it was missing.

"Girl, did you give those Chengxin papers to the Jiang family's son?" Ah Hua asked.

Gu Yutang let out a "hmm" and didn't say anything.

"My silly girl, those pieces of paper are worth a lot of gold! Originally, the old lady was going to give it to Bai Ge'er, and Bai Ge'er lived in the courtyard of Mrs. Six these days, so the old lady gave it to you. It's good for you to take these Chengxin papers and do a favor. Ah Hua said, sighing several times in a row.
