204 Greeting Gifts
The old lady sighed and frowned slightly, this Ah Chu seemed to take Hua to heart a little, and couldn't help but persuade bitterly: "Ah Chu, Hua is not the master, do you let her make rules for An Shi?" Besides, she is not a forbearant character, what if there is a conflict with the An family? What's more, if you establish her position as the master in front of your subordinates now, how will it end up in the future? ”
"Grandmother, in fact, I don't need to marry......" Gong Xichu frowned, he really didn't think about abandoning Hua Ronghua to marry Miss.
"Achu!" The old lady suddenly called him in a deep voice, "Even if you don't think about the Bofu, don't you think about yourself?" There is no maternal clan, the father's clan is weak, and your father is not willing to let you borrow the power of the uncle's mansion, and if you don't marry a powerful wife, how will you gain a foothold in the court in the future? Is it enough to rely on what you have done? ”
Gong Xichu was even more reluctant when he heard this, "But grandmother, am I going to be a person who relies on nepotism in everything?" ”
What about nepotism? Which of those powerful ministers did not climb to their current status by nepotism? Although the old lady thought so in her heart, she also knew that her grandson was arrogant, and if she said that he would definitely not be able to stand it by relying on a woman's relationship, she would not argue with him on this matter, but said: "My grandson's own ability is enough to be proud of the court, but a good man also needs three gangs!" You're alone, and if there's something wrong, there's no one to speak for you. Isn't this an example! ”
"But, grandmother! If you ask me to abandon my wife and marry another, aren't you afraid that others will poke me in the backbone? ”
The old lady only felt that her mouth was dry, and she waved her hand and said angrily: "Okay, anyway, it's too early to talk about this now, you can go to Yuan Shuai tomorrow to have a look, and when you come back, you will send a greeting to Prince Han and make an appointment to meet." Although no one will pursue the incident of you beating Han Wang Shizi before, at least you have to apologize! If you keep frozen, the hardest thing to do is smoke! ”
"Apologize? To the prince of Han? Gongxi Chu frowned, and he didn't want to see him in his heart, or he wanted to beat him up again, let alone apologize to him!
"The son of the world is about to be the son of the world, maybe you will call him a cousin-in-law in the future." Knowing that Gong Xichu was unwilling in her heart, the old lady persuaded again, "No matter what, Yan'er will still have to live in Han Wangfu in the future, you don't want to make it difficult for her." ”
Gongxi Chu opened his mouth and said: "It doesn't matter if my cousin doesn't live in Han Wangfu, I'll raise her when I come back!" ”
The old lady raised the cane in her hand and hit him, and said angrily, "What are you talking about? If this word spreads, how will Yan'er behave? Besides, the royal daughter-in-law only has a world, where is there a big return? Then he threatened a few maids standing aside: "Whoever dares to spread the words just now, I will cut your tongues!" ”
Several maids knelt on the ground in fright, and then hurriedly retreated.
Gong Xichu picked up the teacup on one side and handed it to his lips and then threw it back on the small table, and most of the water in the cup overflowed. He also knew that there was something wrong with his words, but he thought so in his heart just now, and he said it directly.
He ate dinner with such a calm face that Kang Lobo, who originally wanted to discuss with him to hand over the strawberry money, subconsciously shut his mouth.
After eating, Gong Xichu said goodbye to the old lady and walked towards his yard. When he came to the courtyard, he looked at the deserted courtyard with only a few candles, and suddenly stopped, turned around and walked in the direction of Yun Chunju.
"Hey, the third son......" The mother-in-law guarding the door saw that the master had arrived at the door and left again, and couldn't help shouting anxiously.
Blown all the way by the night wind, Gongxi Chu's mood was finally much calmer, and when he came to Yunchun Residence, the courtyard door was locked, and the lights in the main house were also extinguished.
Lazily called the door, Gong Xichu jumped directly into the courtyard and walked towards the main house, pushed open the door and was about to go to the inner room, when a tall black shadow like a bear attacked him.
Gong Xichu easily restrained it, and before she shouted, he said, "It's me!" ”
The black shadow stopped struggling, "Master, it's you!" "It's the cow who keeps vigil.
"Doesn't Madame dislike having people keeping vigil? Why are you still out there? Gongxi Chu listened attentively, and there was the sound of Hua Ronghua's even breathing inside, obviously asleep.
Niu Ya whispered: "It's the newcomer Jin Cui who said, madam, the young lady must be guarded outside when she sleeps, and the young lady doesn't like them, so naturally let me keep it." ”
Gongxi Chu understood, presumably it was the maid ring sent by his grandmother, nodded and said to Niu Ya: "Okay, you go back to your own room and sleep." ”
"Okay!" Niu Ya was overjoyed, she was not good at staying up late, and this vigil made her more painful than practicing martial arts with Mo Yan.
"Wait." Gong Xichu remembered something and stopped her again, "In the future, let's change the title, call me the third son, and call the lady the young lady." If I make another mistake and be kicked out of the house, I don't care. ”
Driven out of the house? She didn't want it, so she hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, the old and third sons, I will definitely change." ”
Gong Xichu frowned, "And yourself, you have to call yourself a slave and maid, if you can't do it, you can call yourself a cow, if you are caught by someone because of this, no one will save you!" "If it weren't for her dedication to Hua Ronghua, she wouldn't have bothered to care about her!
Niu Ya shrunk her neck, this Bofu is so terrible, either to beat people or drive people away.
After driving away Niu Ya, Gongxi Chu came to the inner room, lit a candle with a fire fold, and then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping woman on the bed by the dim candlelight.
Because her stomach was too big, she could only sleep on her side, and her two hands were gently clenched into fists under the pillow, and she didn't know if she had dreamed of something good, so she grinned.
Gong Xichu stretched out his hand and pinched the woman's nose, because his breathing was suddenly blocked, Hua Ronghua frowned, and then subconsciously raised his hand and waved, muttering in his mouth, "Don't make trouble." Then he turned over and became lying flat on the bed, and after a while, he felt uncomfortable again, and he rolled over again, and he was lying on his side with his face facing in.
This woman is really grateful that she can sleep, Gong Xichu smiled, took off his shoes and went to bed, and put his hand on her stomach from behind, here, it is his blood and bones!
When Hua Ronghua slept until midnight, he suddenly felt hungry and panicked, his heart was pounding, he couldn't help frowning and opened his eyes, and as soon as he wanted to get up, he found himself in a familiar embrace.
"Don't press me! Tell you how many times! Hua Ronghua's voice was annoyed and a little hoarse, and he raised his hand and threw the hand on his stomach back to the back.
Gongxi Chu also got up, "Do you want to be relieved?" ”
After sleeping with a pregnant woman for a long time, he can even remember how many nights Hua Ronghua has to get up.
"Hmm." Hua Ronghua ran to the ear room with his shoes on to solve his personal problem, and when he came back, he ran to the table next to him to turn over the pastries.
"Didn't you eat that night?" Gong Xichu frowned, it shouldn't be, even if grandmother doesn't want to see Hua's, she attaches great importance to the child in her belly.
"I've eaten it, I'm hungry again." Hua Ronghua slurred his words while stuffing things into his mouth.
The way women eat is as beautiful as before, but today Gong Xichu stared at it for a long time, but there was a sense of reality.
"What do you want me to do? Eat it yourself and get it yourself! Hua Ronghua's scalp was numb, and he glanced at him angrily.
Gong Xichu smiled, got up and took the two small wooden boxes that were placed aside and put them in her hands, and sat down at the round table himself.
Hua Ronghua took a sip of warm water and curiously went to hit the wooden box on it, "What is this?" Wow, it's beautiful! In the wooden box is a complete set of ruby heads, with a unique shape and smooth polishing, and she can't put it down when she takes it out one by one.
"What about the box below? Is it also jewelry? Hua Ronghua put the ruby head aside and opened the box below, a set of round pearl jewelry lay quietly in the box, reflecting the candle flame emitting a soft halo.
"Did they all give it to me?" Hua Ronghua picked up a pearl necklace and gestured it to his neck, and asked the man on the side happily.
"It's a greeting gift from my grandmother!" Seeing that she was so happy, Gongxi Chu raised the corners of his mouth, and his thoughts were finally not in vain.
"A greeting gift?" Hua Ronghua was stunned for a moment, did he really give it?! But wouldn't it be better if she gave herself face to face?
Gongxi Chu cleared his throat and said a little uncomfortably: "The family had dinner in the grandmother's yard in the evening, and the grandmother originally planned to call you, but as soon as I thought that you had to give An's cloth vegetables with a big belly, I said that you were not feeling well and did not ask you to go!" ”
"Great, you're really my husband!" Hua Ronghua hugged him excitedly.
"Uh......" Gong Xichu was a little confused, how could this be different from what he expected? Isn't she supposed to be depressed and depressed because she didn't get the attention of her grandmother and father-in-law? Now how can she feel as if she has escaped a catastrophe and breathes a sigh of relief!
"Don't call me if there is such a thing in the future!"
Gongxi Chu looked at her stunned, "Are you serious?" ”
Hua Ronghua nodded heavily, "Of course it's true, your mother-in-law's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks are not a good stubble at first glance, and I will only rush up to find guilt when I let the donkey kick my head." ”
Sharp-billed monkey gills? That's a pretty apt description. Gong Xichu came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile, "Then when I came back, my grandmother gave me these two boxes of things, saying that they were a meeting gift for you, and this." As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from the inner pocket of his coat.
"Your grandmother has given too many gifts, right?" Hua Ronghua was a little afraid to reach out and take it, you said that this is both jewelry and silver tickets, won't you have to be shorter when you see the old lady in the future? It's short-handed!
"It's not a greeting gift, it's the money from selling strawberries."
"Money from selling strawberries? Didn't you give those strawberries to your grandmother? Hua Ronghua snatched the silver ticket and looked at it, slowly her eyes widened, and she asked with some uncertainty: "We are selling berries, right?" How is there so much money? ”
Gong Xichu couldn't help but laugh again, there are still people who think they have a lot of money? Doesn't this woman love money the most? Still explained on the side: "Grandmother also took those strawberries to give away, and the people who received the strawberries will naturally give them back, and my grandmother wanted to bring those things to you, but I don't think you are good at managing those objects so I changed the silver ticket for you." ”
"It doesn't take that much, does it?" Hua Ronghua was speechless, these must be five or six thousand taels, "Why did I get rich when I woke up from sleep?" It's not a dream, is it? As she spoke, she pinched her face fiercely, and she screamed in pain.
"They are all people with heads and faces, and no one is embarrassed to send something that can't be put on the table." Gong Xichu said with a smile. In fact, those strawberries did come back with some items, but there were not so many only three thousand taels (no wonder Kanglebo would never forget the strawberry money), and the rest was what he asked Mo Yan to get back from Fruit Lane, but in the end he told such a lie and gave it to Hua Ronghua.
I really don't know what to say, 'I don't want you after giving birth, so you can take some money!'" Or 'these were originally for my cousin, but now she doesn't need them, so I'll give them to you!' No matter what you say, it's strange that Hua Ronghua doesn't make a fuss with himself.
