Chapter 13: Gift-giving? They don't deserve it!
The first time Qin Zhiyi and Gu Nanfeng met, they saw him being bullied by a minion.
She knew that this prince might not have such a happy life, but she didn't expect Gu Nanfeng to be so miserable.
She has been in the house for a month, and she has eaten a full month of green wild vegetables. Not to mention the taste, I didn't even see the slightest bit of meat, and even the rice was only half a bowl.
She can only eat half a full day, and since January, people have lost a few pounds of hunger.
Gu Nanfeng is even worse than him!
Such a big man, eating so much every day, is like feeding a cat. I can't eat enough, let alone Gu Nanfeng?
It's just that he can't eat enough, Gu Nanfeng still comes back with some injuries from time to time.
She occasionally glanced at him a few times as he changed his clothes, and the bruises on his body never went down. I'm afraid he doesn't have a good skin on his body except for that face.
Qin Zhiyi just watched and didn't do anything.
She is a mud bodhisattva, and she can't stand it with a little drizzle, let alone bless others.
She lived with one eye open and one eye closed until the full moon.
According to custom, after the full moon, she needs to take Gu Nanfeng back to the door.
On this day, Mu Xin deliberately got up early in the morning and came over to serve Qin Zhiyi to wash.
She had a smile on her face and energy all over her body.
Qin Zhiyi glanced at her and asked with a smile, "Homesick?" ”
Mu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "The slave maid is the second lady's dowry girl, where the second miss is, the slave and maid are there." ”
Qin Zhiyi raised his eyebrows, and asked as if unintentionally: "There are still relatives at home?" ”
"The slave maid is the son of the Shangshu Mansion," Mu Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "The slave's mother serves by the lady's side, and the slave's father is the slave in charge of purchasing in the backyard." ”
Qin Zhiyi glanced at her, laughed, and didn't speak.
Mu Xin is like this, and he can be regarded as having a slight status among the minions of Shangshu Mansion. It would be a pity to send her to serve her.
Everything was in order, and Qin Zhiyi turned to look at Gu Nanfeng.
Seeing that he was still hanging his head and struggling with the buttons of his clothes, Qin Zhiyi said numbly: "Mu Xin, go and help him." ”
Mu Xin's hand trembled, and he said with some embarrassment: "Princess, the prince won't let the slave touch him......"
Qin Zhiyi: "......"
Gu Nanfeng's hellish 'daughter-in-law dressing' theory!
She stood up and walked in front of Gu Nanfeng a few steps, and as soon as she raised her hand, Gu Nanfeng had already quickly stood up straight and stretched out her arms waiting for someone to serve.
Qin Zhiyi: "......"
She blackened her face, and buttoned Gu Nanfeng neatly, and said while buttoning it: "Come back to Shangshu Mansion with me later, I didn't let you talk, so don't talk." No matter what people say to you, you just have to shut up and ignore them. You're the king, you're the biggest, understand? ”
Gu Nanfeng: "...... Clear, understood? ”
In fact, after such a long list, he understood a sentence: shut up and ignore them!
Qin Zhiyi felt powerless when he saw him like this, and gave up the idea of continuing to communicate with him.
Anyway, there's oneself!
Originally, Gu Nanfeng, the son-in-law, should have prepared a generous gift when he returned to the door, but in view of the tragic situation that he couldn't eat enough now, Qin Zhiyi didn't expect him to prepare anything.
Qin Zhiyi also thought about whether to take out his own money to prepare one, but after thinking about it again, he still forgot it.
The group of things in Shangshu's Mansion still want her gifts? They don't deserve it!
The two of them were empty-handed, and they were ready to go out with a wooden heart.
When Aunt Xu chased after them, they had already walked to the gate of the palace.
Aunt Xu carefully took out a handkerchief from her pocket, opened it, and there was a jade bracelet with good color lying inside.
"The princess came back today, and she should have prepared enough courtesy, but we ......" Aunt Xu's face was a little bad and very embarrassed.
She handed the jade bracelet in her hand to Qin Zhiyi and said, "This was rewarded by the mother back then, and the old slave has always kept it." The princess took it and sold it, and it was better to prepare some gifts than to go home empty-handed and make people laugh. ”
Qin Zhiyi blinked, looked at the bracelet, looked at Aunt Xu again, and said slowly, "Auntie, how can this work?" ”
"Why not?" Aunt Xu insisted on giving the bracelet to Qin Zhiyi, and said, "The prince is an old slave who grew up, and I am willing to do something for him." ”
Qin Zhiyi glanced at her twice, raised his hand to take the jade bracelet, and said, "In this way, then I will accept it." When he has the opportunity one day, he will definitely repay his aunt's kindness. ”
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Go, go early and come back early." ”
Qin Zhiyi nodded and went out with Mu Xin and Gu Nanfeng.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Mu Xin said, "Princess, this bracelet is in good condition and can be sold for a lot of silver." When the time comes, I can buy something decent to save face. ”
Qin Zhiyi chuckled lightly and didn't say anything.
When he arrived at the market, Qin Zhiyi pulled Gu Nanfeng out of the carriage and sold the bracelet directly.
With the silver in his hand, Qin Zhiyi turned his head and took Gu Nanfeng into the restaurant, and opened his mouth to shout a large table of dishes.
Chickens, ducks, pigs and beef were set on a table, all meaty, and there was no green on the table.
Mu Xin looked at it dumbfounded, and said tremblingly: "Princess, you, you used all the silver, so how can you buy gifts?" ”
Qin Zhiyi glanced at her, raised a chicken leg, and asked, "Do you want to eat?" ”
Mu Xin's head shook into a rattle, "The slave doesn't dare!" ”
Qin Zhiyi cut off, turned his head and asked Gu Nanfeng again: "Do you eat?" ”
Gu Nanfeng's eyes glowing green as he stared at the chicken legs, and he nodded wildly.
Qin Zhiyi smiled, raised his hand and stuffed the chicken leg into Gu Nanfeng's mouth.
Next, goodbye Gu Nanfeng raised his head.
Mu Xin: "......"
Qin Zhiyi ate slowly and methodically, and took a few bites to take a look at Gu Nanfeng.
I couldn't help but sigh softly in my heart, such a big young man can't eat meat once a year, and he is hungry.
It's not easy to grow so tall.
Gu Nanfeng was swept away, and the meat on the table was eaten.
He sat there and carefully wiped his greasy hands, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Qin Zhiyi looked at him and asked, "Full?" ”
Gu Nanfeng nodded, looking at her with a much kinder look.
Qin Zhiyi stood up and said, "It's good to eat enough, and when you return to Shangshu Mansion, just wait to be angry." ”
Gu Nanfeng didn't understand, but obediently followed behind Qin Zhiyi.
When the princess returned to the door, there was no prince's guard of honor, no group of servants, and no graceful courtesy. Only a lonely carriage was pulled to the gate of Shangshu Mansion, and then the two of them were empty-handed, followed by a desperate girl.
Uncle Zhou waited at the gate, saw the two of them get out of the carriage, and hurriedly greeted him, "The slave has seen the prince, the princess." ”
Qin Zhiyi glanced at him and said, "What about my father?" ”
Uncle Zhou: "The master is waiting in the front hall." ”
Qin Zhiyi sneered and said, "Lord Shangshu's shelf is really big, bigger than our prince's shelf!" ”
