Chapter 187: The study room is all waste

Grandpa Cao's face was full of smiles.

This decree was proclaimed with great joy.

He had read every sentence before he came, but that didn't affect the joy of those words coming out of his mouth.

Who doesn't like to hear good words? Who doesn't like to say?

That's an uplifting mood that no amount of money can buy.

Of course, the red envelope given by the Auxiliary State is also thick enough.

The only thing called Gonggong Cao is that when the decree was announced, only Fuguo Gong was the only one who knelt on the ground to listen to the announcement.

The Lord is the Lord of the Lord, but it is too lonely.

However, when the grandfather of the country marries the county lord, and in a few years, the population of the house gradually increases, and this deserted scene will pass.

The days are getting better!

Gonggong Cao said a lot of words of advice and concern from the saints, and then he said goodbye, but he didn't expect to meet the congratulatory gift from the Liu family.

Looking at Steward Tao quietly, Gonggong Cao's eyes fell on the box in the other party's hand.

Congratulatory gifts are not big or small, nor do they have to be expensive, but light and affectionate.

Impressive box looks......

Some are ordinary, not even red.

Affection may be there, but not much.

It is said that Lord Liu is quite thoughtful and thoughtful in handling affairs in the yamen, so that he doesn't even pay attention to these courtesies, and then he thinks that the steward said that it was given by the "son", and Gonggong Cao will understand.

That Liu Gongzi is really not thoughtful.

Obviously, he is one year younger than Fu Guogong......

Sure enough, in dealing with the world, you still can't lack experience.

Either the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, or they are like the auxiliary princes, who kill the enemy early, inherit the title, and listen to the government in the court.

Regardless of whether it is fun to listen or not, it is more sophisticated than the students who only study in the academy.

However, Liu Gongzi's study is not very good.

Thinking of this, Gonggong Cao glanced at Xu Jian again.

No wonder Xu Jian can make the queen mother nod and the county lord satisfied, this sophistication and thoughtfulness is the only one among the golden princes of the same age in Beijing.

"The miscellaneous family will return to the palace first," Grandpa Cao and Xu Jian arched their hands, "Grandpa Guo stays."

Xu Jian took two more steps, and it wasn't until Gonggong Cao got into the sedan chair that he looked at Steward Tao.

Steward Tao saluted and said, "The little one congratulates Grandpa Guo."

Xu Jian stared at the Tao steward, and said for a long time, "It's hard work."

Steward Tao's smile froze on his face, quite embarrassed.

In all fairness, he was still very happy for the Fu Guogong.

But he is the steward of the Liu family, and he is still the steward that Lord Liu trusts.

Others may not know the temperament of Lord Liu and Gongzi Liu, but Manager Tao is clear.

First, we must do things according to Lord Liu's explanation, and second, we must stabilize Mrs., and not a word of news that is not in line with Mrs. Liu's wishes can reach her ears.

Even, things like Liu Xun pretending to be sick a while ago, not to mention Madame, the other servants in the house have to hide it to death.

Is it hard?

It's a bit hard indeed.

If you hold it in your heart, you have nowhere to say it, and you dare not say it.

Hearing that there was something in Xu Jian's words, Steward Tao could only pretend that he didn't understand, and went down and said, "The little one is just running an errand, where do you dare to be the word 'hard'."

Xu Jian stretched out his hand.

Steward Tao handed over the box: "Childe asked the little one to send it."

Xu Jian opened it.

Seeing an inkstone in the box, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Although, I had already guessed that gift-giving was a reason, and eighty percent of it was Liu Xun who couldn't bear it and couldn't go out, so he asked the Tao steward to inquire about the situation, but when he saw this inkstone, Xu Jian was still happy.

Liu Xun is really interesting.

This thing should have been found by him wherever he pointed his fingers.

"He's really good at giving gifts." Xu Jiandao. Steward Tao was stunned when he heard this, instinctively

Tell him that this is not a good word at all.

Sure enough, Xu Jian's next sentence was "His little brain, the study is a waste".

Steward Tao grimaced bitterly.

How does this make him answer?

I didn't dare to pick it up at all.

I don't know what to do when I go back.

Xu Jian turned his head, invited Xu Bai, and explained a few words to him in a low voice.

After hearing this, Xu Bai couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't persuade Xu Jian, shook his head, held the key, and went to find something.

Then, Xu Jian said to Steward Tao, "Wait a while, there is something for you to take back."

Steward Tao was busy responding, and watched Xu Jian go back to the house.

Eli Lil, courtesy, this is normal.

It was Steward Xu's expression that made Steward Tao very uneasy, and he didn't know what kind of gift Grandpa Guo returned......

After waiting for a while, Xu Bai came back, holding a few booklets in his hands.

Steward Tao took it with both hands.

The cover is so clean that I can't see what it's used for, so I opened it and took a look......

Steward Tao almost didn't continue in one breath.

He knew what was going on with Steward Xu's indescribable expression.

Big grid, big frame, this is clearly a red book for enlightened children to practice strokes!

What does this mean?

First of all, I said that the childe didn't use the inkstone for that little knowledge, and he turned his head and sent a red book, and Ming Huanghuang said that the son and the enlightened boy have the same brain?

Oops!

These two brothers, who have a grudge and a grudge, will fight by themselves!

What to do with tossing him?

He only has one person in charge, why should he touch this kind of mold!

"Uncle Xu......" Steward Tao's hands trembled and his voice trembled, "This, this ......"

Xu Bai patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is for my little grandson, I bought several more copies, it's good to practice calligraphy, and your grandson is also enlightened, right?" This is a gift from Grandpa Guo."

Steward Tao sighed.

Dare to love this is not for the son, is it for the grandfather to reward his grandson?

When Xu Bai saw his reaction, he knew that Steward Tao was thinking about it.

I really don't blame Steward Tao for thinking about things, Xu Bai knows that Grandpa Guo is deliberate.

But as an old steward, Xu Bai knew that the master was deliberate, but he still had to save some face for the master's family: "What? Who do you think it's for? It's something that children can use."

Steward Tao thanked him repeatedly.

He didn't care about analyzing what Grandpa Guo had in mind, in short, don't let him give this booklet to Gongzi, that is a great favor.

Steward Tao thanked him and left.

When he returned to Liu's mansion, he put away the booklet before he went to see Liu Xun.

"It's the paper that Gonggong Cao went to proclaim, and the little one met him head-on."

"The congratulatory gift was handed over to Grandpa Guo in person, and he accepted it."

"There were many people around, and they scattered their money."

Picky and chosen, the Tao steward only said what he could say.

As for the generous money of the Guogong Mansion, what was the reaction of the grandfather of the country when he saw the inkstone, and gave him a red booklet, but he didn't dare to mention a word.

Fortunately, Liu Xun didn't ask deeply.

When he had finished, he went back to bed, bored.

On the other hand, in the Sincerity Uncle's Mansion, the father-in-law sat in the flower hall and drank tea slowly.

There are many Lin families, and it takes time for the female dependents to comb their hair and change their clothes, and they have to wait for the sincerity uncle to come back from the yamen, and they can only announce the decree when they are all together.

When everything was ready, he followed the steward.

The Lin family stood up in order, whether it was in front or behind, everyone was smiling, and even Cheng Cheng Bo had a little smile on his face.

The smile is infectious, and the father-in-law also laughs.
