Chapter 184: Eating the Fruit
After repeated tests during this period of time, Murong Run has already understood that the thing he bought is indeed worth the price, and even if he is asked to give another thousand taels of silver now, he is willing.
"Mother, this is not an ordinary fruit, you might as well taste one to know if what your son said is accurate."
Where is Mrs. Murong willing to eat?
Their Murong Mansion has a big business, not only do they have real power and high-ranking officials in the imperial court, but even the business territory is large enough, as the head of the Murong Mansion, what good things has she not eaten? What a good thing I haven't seen before.
Even many of the royal palace's tributes can be easily found in their Murong Mansion.
Who made the many tributes have to be selected by them?
"I won't eat those messy things, you throw them away, and as for the money you lost, you should buy a lesson." Mrs. Murong wiped her nose with a handkerchief, and made a look that she couldn't stand the smell, "You have been tired all the way, and you are dusty, it would be rude to go to see your grandfather like this, go and freshen up first, and I will take you to see your grandfather." ”
Mrs. Murong's maiden home is also in Tonghua County, the two families are world friends, and the ancestral houses of the two families are only separated by one street.
"It's okay, I'll give some of it to my grandfather first, so that he can recuperate and condition his body."
"You don't listen to what I say, do you? Throw it away as soon as possible, and don't take it to your grandfather to eat, lest others see you laughing! Mrs. Murong frowned, very dissatisfied with Murong Run's behavior of not listening to her words, "You don't have any other gifts on you, I have already ordered someone to prepare them for you, and then you only need to bring them to your grandfather, and he will also thank you for your filial piety." ”
Murong Run knew that his mother was more stubborn, so it was not interesting to argue at this time, but he just paid lip service.
"My son got it."
Murong Run's grandfather used to be the young master of the crown prince, and later the prince ascended the throne as today's family, Murong Run's grandfather assisted the emperor for a few years, and after the emperor with him gained a firm foothold, he took the initiative to resign and retire.
The Heavenly Family has a lot of prestige, and his grandfather has great wisdom, and when the whole family is most prosperous, he retreated bravely, but he preserved their family, so that the hearts of the Heavenly Family will always remember it, so that they will not be disgusted by seeing them become bigger and stronger.
When any family goes to the top, it will arouse the suspicion of the heavenly family, and in the end, the minister is not a minister, and the king is not a king, so there needs to be some distance between the two sides.
Because of this, the county guard of Flush County respected his grandfather very much, and officials of all sizes were even more polite to the two of them.
Murong Run's grandfather's surname is Qiu, and people respectfully call him Qiu Gong.
When he came to the door, Old Man Qiu was drinking medicine under the service of the servants.
"Grandpa." Murong Run stepped forward to salute.
"Run, you're here?" Old Man Qiu wiped the medicine stains on the corners of his mouth, struggled to sit up, and looked at Murong Run's gaze extremely soft, "How have you been outside these months?" ”
"Thank you grandpa for your concern, it's okay."
"I look a little thin, is the food outside unappetizing?" Old Man Qiu has many grandchildren and grandchildren, but his favorite is Murong Run, this child looks clear-eyed and is a person with a pure heart.
Mrs. Murong smiled beside her: "This kid has a heart, and he has been outside for the past few months just to find a gift that suits your heart." ”
Speaking of Mrs. Murong, Mrs. Murong gestured to her personal maid and asked her to present the prepared gifts.
However, Murong Run took a step earlier, took out a brocade box directly from his arms, and put it in front of Old Man Qiu.
"Grandpa, this is what I found for you, it has the effect of nourishing the mind, you can try it."
Originally, Murong Run wanted to wait, when Old Man Qiu was 80 years old, and then think about how to make food and present it to him.
Old man Qiu does not compete for fame and fortune, and he does not have much love for money, and he does not like the filial piety of his children and grandchildren on weekdays, but those heartfelt gifts can please him a little.
Murong Run is the most attentive.
Seeing Murong Run acting like this, Mrs. Murong was a little unhappy, but now in front of her father, she couldn't say anything more.
Lest Old Man Qiu think that Murong Run didn't care about him, he would find some wild fruits outside and deal with him.
At this time, Mrs. Murong looked at Murong Run's expression, already with obvious displeasure.
But Murong Run didn't care about this.
Old Man Qiu has been a little physically inconvenient recently, and his spirit is not so good, but Murong Run gave him a gift, and he still held up his spirits.
The brocade box was opened, and there were two fruits lying inside, and they looked good, but I don't know what kind of variety they were.
There was a servant next to him, and he wanted to come forward and test with a silver needle, which was also a habit that Old Man Qiu had developed over the years, and he couldn't change it.
"There is no need to test it, I will see the joy of this fruit, and I will cut a little and taste it." Old Man Qiu's appetite has not been very good recently, even if the fruit is only the size of a fingernail, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat it.
Mrs. Murong couldn't sit still: "Father, this fruit ......"
Originally, my father's health was not very good, but what if there was anything wrong with this fruit and he collapsed after eating it?
Old Man Qiu didn't listen to Mrs. Murong's words, he just wanted to taste this fruit, and of course he wasn't afraid that Murong Run would do anything with it.
Their Qiu family is upright, and they don't have those crooked intestines, and the same is true for the Murong family, otherwise they wouldn't have become world friends.
The servant next to him found a clean dagger and cut a small slice of the fruit.
Old Man Qiu originally didn't have much hope, only thinking that the fruit was either sour or sweet, but when the juice-rich piece of flesh entered between his lips and tongue, Old Man Qiu's eyes widened slightly.
"Father, if you feel unwell, vomit it quickly!" Mrs. Murong was in a hurry, and hurriedly went to greet the people around her, "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly get the things out of the old man's mouth!" ”
Murong Run was calm and relaxed.
That piece of flesh was already small, and Old Man Qiu didn't feel anything left, so in everyone's surprised eyes, Old Man Qiu stretched out his hand to pick up the remaining fruit, and threw it into his mouth without saying a word.
After eating one, he went on to eat the second one, not caring at all about whether the fruit was washed or not.
The old housekeeper who was waiting for Old Man Qiu saw it, and he was also a little tearful for a while.
"The old man hasn't eaten much in the past few days, and today he can finally open his mouth!"
If it weren't for the medicine to drink, Old Man Qiu would definitely be dying of hunger.
After eating the two fruits, Old Man Qiu was in a better mood.
"Run'er, the fruit you brought is very refreshing, is this what you went out to find?" Old Man Qiu asked in surprise.
Murong Run: "Yes, grandfather, I originally wanted to use the congratulatory gift on your 80th birthday, but I saw that your face was not good, so I had to deliver this congratulatory gift in advance." Don't worry, I still have quite a few there, and I'll have someone bring them to your house later. ”
Murong Run didn't know that it was the fruit he sent that saved Old Man Qiu's life by accident.
Without this special fruit, Old Man Qiu could only let his appetite decline, and eventually died of weakness.
