Chapter 127: Congratulatory Gift
Gu Xu's first kiss ended like this.
In the next period of time, he accompanied Shi Xiaohan to walk by the river for a while, bought some desserts and snacks that she liked, and listened to her chatter about what she had seen and heard in Longmen Academy recently, complaining that Hu Jiaoxi, known as the "Undefeated Sword God", had tortured her too much.
He smiled and listened silently, echoing a few words from time to time.
Then, he boarded the carriage again and sent Shi Xiaohan back to the academy, while he returned home, closed the door of the house, took the pill, and continued to concentrate on cultivation.
The day of the "Luoshui Conference" is approaching day by day.
Gu Xu must hurry up and cultivate against time.
Only by winning the top spot can you get the "astrolabe".
Although he didn't know what the "astrolabe" looked like or what it did, in the back of his mind, there always seemed to be a voice that kept saying to him—
"You have to get it."
"It's yours."
At the same time, since Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan got engaged, people have visited him one after another and sent him congratulatory gifts.
Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, as a well-known tea lover, sent someone to send Gu Xu a set of precious tea sets, as well as many precious tea leaves that have been treasured for a long time, which have the effect of helping people to meditate and cultivate and comprehend the Dao.
Chu Fengge was extremely envious of this.
He has been hungry for Lord Si's tea for a long time, but he rarely has the opportunity to taste it.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xu's kid could not only taste the tea poured by Lord Si Shou himself.
And when he gets engaged, he can get a whole few boxes, and he needs to use the space magic weapon to send them to the door.
So, after seeing this scene, in order to keep his Dao heart pure, Chu Fengge had to lock himself in the retreat room of the Exorcism Division again, and practice the "Cloud Sea Star River Sword" with his head down.
Princess Zhaoning, who was in charge of secular government affairs, represented the royal family, and in accordance with the consistent customs of the Great Qi Dynasty, sent someone to send a box of ancient books to Gu Xu and precious jewelry to Shi Xiaohan.
When Gu Xu saw the ancient books in the box, his face was originally overjoyed, thinking that he would have the opportunity to see some little-known cultivation knowledge, or some hidden historical materials.
But when he opened the book, he was disappointed to find that everything written here seemed to have been read before, and it was already in his head.
This made him silently lament: there should be no unrealistic hopes for things of an official nature from the royal family.
Chen Jisheng, who was far away in Yishui County, also sent Gu Xu a comb and a ruler as gifts.
The gift is not expensive, but it has a beautiful meaning.
The comb has the meaning of knotting hair, symbolizing that the husband and wife grow old together; As a measuring tool, the ruler represents a measure of happiness, a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, and a long time together.
The items were a little old, and there were even tiny cracks on the ivory combs, but Gu Xu put them away seriously and stored them in the "Xianyun Residence".
In addition, the colleagues of the Exorcism Division, the customers and employees of the "Shouchangfang", the nobles of Luojing City, and many monks who admired Gu Xu's fame all sent him congratulatory gifts.
For a time, Gu Xu's mansion was full of people.
Gu Xu was troublesome and didn't want his practice to be disturbed again and again, so he spent a day borrowing the "puppet" spell of the Kongxuansan people to improve the scholars and servants on the mural again, and let them entertain the guests instead of him.
When the guests first arrived, they all sighed that this Master Gu was so young, and he knew how to enjoy it so much, and in the mansion where he lived alone, there were so many servants hired - the doorkeeper, the cook, the tea maker, the sweeper, and the repairer of the grass and trees...... The whole nine yards.
Grain
And they are all well-behaved, obedient, neat and capable, as if they are doing things under the command of the same brain.
When the guests departed, seeing the servants return to the mural one by one, the mansion became silent again, and the thoughts in their minds immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees—
"Master Gu is worthy of being a rune master who is deeply recognized by the national teacher," they all admired in their hearts, "This kind of fake and real rune attainment is really perfect. ”
With the help of the "servants", Gu Xu was able to stay in the house with peace of mind and concentrate on cultivation.
It wasn't until one day, when a familiar guest came to visit and give gifts, that Gu Xu had to come out of the house and receive him personally.
"Gu Daoyou, aren't you welcome me here?" A woman's chuckle came from outside the door, accompanied by a soft spring breeze, gently drifting into the house.
"Not really." Gu Xu temporarily stopped his cultivation and walked towards the door.
"Then why don't you want to meet me in person, but send these puppets to send me?"
"I'm sorry, Shangguan Daoyou," Gu Xu smiled and said politely, "I'm so busy with cultivation that I forgot to entertain your distinguished guest, I'm really sorry." ”
The person who came was none other than the exorcist Shirou Nakagami Hibiscus.
She was dressed in a light green dress, combed into a snake bun like black and green silk, with a jade hairpin coiled on the top of her head, holding a gift box, smiling gracefully, and standing gracefully.
The refreshing fragrance of the sachet on her waist was blown by the spring breeze to Gu Xu's side and lingered around him.
"Don't say these polite words," she smiled, the corners of her eyes turned up like willow leaves, "this is my engagement gift for you, take it quickly." ”
"Thank you, Shangguan Daoyou!" Gu Xu took the gift box from her hand.
In the Great Qi Dynasty, it was very impolite to open the gift in person, so Gu Xu thought about it and put the box into the "Xianyunju".
Shangguan Jin stared at his face quietly and did not speak for a long time.
On her beautiful face, there was not the slightest emotion.
After a long while, she sighed softly and said, "Gu Xu, in fact, I have a sentence in my heart, and I have wanted to tell you for a long time......
This is the first time Shangguan Jin has called out his name in front of Gu Xu.
Gu Xu raised his head and looked at her seriously.
The eyes of the two collided, and then Shangguan Jin turned his head to avoid his gaze.
"Xiao Han is a good girl," after a pause, Shangguan Jin smiled faintly and continued, "You have to treat her well in the future, don't do anything that is wrong to her." If you bully her in the future, I'm going to fight for her. ”
"How could I possibly bully her?" Gu Xu said with a smile.
It's just that what makes him feel a little strange is that Shangguan Jin hesitated for so long, and the "words in his heart" he said turned out to be such a joke.
Is there something she still hasn't said?
But Gu Xu didn't ask much.
This woman is too deep to fathom. He could never fathom her mind.
"Well, since that's the case, then I wish you a hundred years of happiness and old age!" Shangguan Jin gracefully threw down a blessing, then turned to leave, and soon cast his spell and disappeared at the end of the street.
Gu Xu stood on the steps outside the door, looking at her departing back, wondering why she was running so fast, was there something urgent in the Exorcism Division's yamen.
